Moons then walked over to her spot on the floor in the living room, curled up, and promptly fell asleep. Draco, on the other hand, went to her room and set to work on those bandages. (Emerald, who wanted to sleep already, went to the living room and curled up near Moons on the floor, Hebi being on the usual sofa.)

As Draco sat at her desk, spell book open and supplies spread out, she suddenly started to hear faint scratching sounds coming from the roof. She stopped what she was doing and listened for a bit. It seemed that whatever-it-was was scratching at the floor, as though it was filing its claws.

So that's what Moons has been hearing… thought Draco. It's probably just rats… they don't make any other sounds, though. She shrugged and continued working on the bandages, put them on, and went to sleep.

-The Next Day-

"Aah, that was a GOOD night's sleep," sighed Hebi as she stretched and got up from the sofa. She looked at the window and saw Moons playing fetch with Emerald (well, it was an odd game of fetch… it consisted of Moons shooting an arrow into the air and Emerald chasing it down and bringing it back). Hebi turned away from the window and headed towards the kitchen to get something to eat. She found Draco in the kitchen… frying eggs.

"Mornin' Draco! Hey, what happened to your hand?" said Hebi, looking confused at the sight of bandages on Draco's hand.

"YOU happened to my hand!" replied Draco, (-twitch-) looking annoyed at the recollection of what happened last night.

"Eh? Me?!" Hebi exclaimed. -points at self-

"Yes, you!" Draco said as she flipped the egg up in the air. "You and your obsession with lollipops! You grabbed my hand and tried to EAT it!!!" --

Just then Moons walked in, carrying her bow and arrow.

"Hey Hebi, I see you woke up!" "By the way, Draco, where'd the egg you had on the pan go?" Moons added, looking oddly at the frying pan on the stove.

"Huh?" Draco looked at the pan, then looked up at the ceiling. "Uh-oh…."

-SPLAT-

"HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Hebi and Moons laughed, looking at Draco, whose face was currently full of egg….

-slowly removing egg from face-

"Ugh… so… who wants egg??"

-galloping- -chomp!- -more galloping-

"HUH?!"

Moons, Hebi, and Draco all look towards the entrance, and were able to catch a glimpse of Emerald's tail disappearing around the corner.

"Wow… well, there goes that egg…" Moons said with surprise.

"Yea, no kidding…" replied Draco.

Hebi shrugged and went to the fridge for something to eat. "Ah well, I wasn't really in the mood for eggs, anyway…." -raids fridge for cereal and milk-

As Hebi ate, Moons turned to Draco. "Hey, how about we go to the village and walk around? I feel like walking today" -looks happy-

"Eh, I guess… it's not like we have anything to do… you up for it, Hebi?" questioned Draco. Hebi, her mouth currently being full of cereal and milk, merely nodded her head.

"Alrighty then, let's do it. Well, after Hebi finished eating her cereal." Draco added the last part, seeing how sad Hebi looked at the idea of leaving her cereal unfinished. Moons laughed, and went to get her bow and arrow, just to be prepared to leave.

Once Hebi finished eating, the trio left the house (Draco and Hebi having gotten their weapons). As they walked, Emerald flew in circles over them. Pretty soon they were walking around the village. As they passed the Chief's house, Draco's mom came outside.

"Oh hello there, Draco, Hebi and Moons! Good thing you're here; saves us the time of having to go get you."
Draco, Hebi, and Moons looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Draco stepped forward and asked, "Why did you want to see us, Mom?"

Draco's mom smile and replied, "Don't worry, just come in and you'll find out." And so they all stepped into the tent (all except for Emerald, who stayed outside). Pretty soon Draco's parents, Draco, Hebi, and Moons were all seated at the conference table. Draco's father opened up the discussion.

"Well, you're all probably wondering what this discussion's about. It's mainly about what you had told us about a couple of days ago, Draco."

"Specifically," added Draco's mom, "about those two demons that you three fought with. Your father and I had been discussing why those two demons attacked you girls so suddenly, and without warning."
