After six months, I have finally updated this story :D I have a newer and better thought out plot for this story than before and I also fixed some inconsistencies as well. Since Soothing Rivers is finished, I can add another story to the update list, and I think, if things go the way I want it to then there should be a total number of 40 chapters to this story, but we shall see.
IMPORTANT: If you are a previous reader of this story (as in you've read all the chapters since the last update) then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you go back and re-read every chapter before this one. It's your choice, and so you don't have to, but if don't want to be confused, it's best to re-read. Trust me, with the chapters being so short, it really shouldn't take you long to do so. Besides it'll refresh your mind since I last updated. Thank you! ^^
Flareup4Ratchet: I know right, but Luna will get her answers eventually :) And don't we all want to slap her xD
Vchanny: All will be answered with time ^^ And its fine, I should apologize for the super super late update lol
Red Moon Nine
11/ Danger
Two days until the Red Moon Festival. Two days before she had to go through the marking ceremony with Prince Artemis. She was scared and was not the calmest person today. Originally, she planned to spend some time in the library since today was less hectic than usually, but things did not go as planned. The reason was quite simple.
Someone had poisoned her.
Distress, Luna stared out her window. It happened this morning at breakfast…and the incident was drilled into mind. Repeatedly. One moment she was enjoying some warm milk and the next she felt light headed and sick to her stomach. Prince Artemis noticed something was wrong the paler she got and excused them from the meal. Of course, Nyanko had a small fit about it saying that Luna was capable of taking herself to the infirmary, which she agreed, or to the best of her ability she tried.
Artemis ignored her comments.
Luckily, she was giving some medicine to combat it and was sent to her room for some rest (Dawon's orders). However, on the way back, she did catch a glimpse of Lord Cronus and he did not look pleased. Whether it was her being poisioned or something else she did not know. And she wasn't sure if she wanted to…at least yet. Anyways, all of that happened three hours ago and she was feeling a little better.
But still felt frightful. Her life was put in danger just like Mau's and it made her feel very uneasy.
A knock pulled her from her thoughts, "Come in," Luna called out. Diana, who chose to still guard her, wouldn't let anyone in she didn't like. Hopefully it was Dawon.
She couldn't have been more wrong. It was Artemis and she wasn't sure if what she saw in his eyes was guilt or pure anger. Either way, he was upset. Closing the door, he sat down an arm chair close to the window seat and didn't say a word. It wasn't an awkward silence. It was a silence that was very much needed.
Uh oh...someone's putting Luna's life in danger...just like they did Mau. I wonder who is doing this? And Artemis isn't very happy about this as you can tell and for good reason ^^' Anyways, until the next update!
