Moonlight Calls

Delta was bewildered, she had not known it was a dream. She stared around. "So I'm in the Healers den..." Delta commented. Luna bent her head, and said " I thought you would die..." she started to cry. "I thought you would leave me like Mom and Dad left us" Stag walked up to her and brushed his muzzle along her neck calming her. Luna was calmed, but she had kept tearing up. "I would never leave you, my dear younger sister. Mother and Father did what was needed." Delta licked her sisters forehead. This however she did not actually know, what if she died like her parents did that fateful night. She did not want to see her sister cry so she got up still dizzy from that weird "dream" and nuzzled her then walked out going to her den.

Red paced around in the Healers den by Deltas not moving body. "Oh how did this happen?!" He said. "We don't know so don't ask for the 100th time!" Said Stone the healer. Red looked around, the smell of so many herbs in one place clouded his senses. Luna then said something, he couldn't hear her though he was too worried. Them all of a sudden Delta's voice sounded out. "What happened?" Red was so relived. He hears Luna telling her something that shocked him. "You almost stopped breathing when Stag checked on you, so we tried to wake you up." That wasn't it though, she said "I thought you would leave me like Mom and Dad left up." Red had always thought that their parents were Wind and Swoop. They were still here though, what did she mean? Then came a almost windy voice that was to quiet to hear. Then Delta got up and walked away. He went after her but Luna went out first then Stag stopped me. I looked at him his eyes full of understanding and sorrow, that made him relies he had to stop and go the other way.

"Delta..." A wispy voice woke me. "Follow my voice..." it trailed off like an echo. It was a full moon after the gathering when she was greeted by this voice. She followed it cautiously at first then ran for it. "Over here..." It called again. It led me to "The Forest of Silence" then to "Accaila's pond" The voice stopped until I got there. "Drink the water..." it said and I could feel it smiling down my shoulder. "No..." I said. "I will not fall in love, I know the Curse Of Accaila's pond." I said in a panicked voice. "I don't want to fall in love. Thorn was my only true love!" Then the moons bright light shined down and "Just you wait, I will make you drink the water if its the last thing I do!..." The moon's light disappeared under the cover of the clouds and Delta ran back to camp and into her den. The voice did not call since that Moonlit night, but it watched and waits for the right time to call again. Only once the moon is full can it call for Delta, and convince her to listen and drink the water.
