Why were her dreams so dark? No light ever came through. She could only see blackness that meant she could see nothing at all. She was so alone, trapped, alone. Not even Beam was there and Beam was always there. She was worried and scared and so confused. She didn't have East, West and South whispering in her ear anymore either. She could only sit down and pull her knees up to her chest and cry as images started to fly by. She was all alone.
"Shh." She heard a voice that she had only heard once before, the moon. "Child." He said gently a small bit of light breaking through the darkness. Moon's voice seemed caring and worried and concerned and Astral wondered why he hadn't talked earlier, when she had needed him.. "I may not always be here." He whispered "But my light always will." Astral whimpered, she didn't want him to leave.
Astral blinked open her eyes, Beam was still glowing there where it had been for five hundred years. She instantly felt relief, had it not been for the kangaroo standing next to her, she would have started to whisper to Beam. She immediately stood up on the bed she was on, the blanket falling off of her. Her hands where in fists and examined this creature standing next to her, with South wind backing her up she couldn't lose if it came to a fight.
"Whoa mate! Calm down, Sheila!" The Kangaroo said but his hands were reaching for boomerangs on instinct.
Astral calmed down slightly, but was still ready to attack.
"You can see me?" She demanded to know.
"Yeah, but I can see how your easily missed." The Kangaroo said making a joke that Astral didn't understand. "I'm Bunnymund. Call me Bunny." The Kangar- Bunny said
"A kangaroo named Bunny? Funny." Astral said "I'm Astral Star and this is Beam." She pointed to the glowing orb below her neck, but did so absent mindedly as she looked around the warm room and saw the door was open. She flew around to it and outside to the workshop, ignoring Bunny. When she saw the workshop, her eyes widened in wonder, instantly she began flying around checking out everything, the giant furry creatures also saw her, but they didn't seem to mind as she swooped and dove, trying to see everything she could.
"Hey! Come back here!" The Easter Bunny shouted, but Astral was too busy checking out everything.
"North!" He shouted seeing the big man below in the globe room. "She's awake!"
Author's note: Short, I know, but important, Astral has finally been seen! And a big thank you to thegirlwhosinlovewithapen who reviewed! She'll talk with Jack later, but I kind of didn't want it to be Jack Frost she woke up to.
