"Come on little moon!"A girl with dark bushy hair was putting her silver wool dress on, tying her hair into a ponytail. She quickly rushed out towards a boy who was a head taller than her and he seemed impatient.
"Sorry Kai, but my hair kept getting tangled up!" The little girl said, her crystal blue eyes staring into the boy's blazing amber eyes.
"You need to cut it, it's far too long." The boy grumbled before walking outside with her. The boy's hair was a chocolate brown and his eyes looked like fire orbs on his tanned skin. He was quite muscular and was mistaken often for a Bulgarian. The boy had a piercing gaze that usually made people not mess with him.
The young girl looked almost the exact opposite. Her hair was a dark raven color and her eyes were a crystal blue. She had freckles pretty much everywhere and her skin was rather pale. The girl's legs were covered in bandages along with one of her arms. Her mouth was pulled up on one side, giving her a mischievous look. The girl's face looked rather elfish and since of her willowy body, some people call her a forest nymph or a half-veela.
"Yeah, and let mother have a mental breakdown? No, thank you." The girl growled and met the boy's fiery glare with an icy yet knowing look. She rummaged through a pocket in her dress and pulled out a piece of parchment. "Now, we should get the fluxweed first. Then perhaps the aconite." She said, reading the list.
"There is a patch of fluxweed near the edge of the forest. There's some aconite further into the forest, however." Kai said, his amber eyes looking up at the starry sky. "Then you could ask a bicorn for their horns, Lunar." He started walking with the girl tailing behind him.
Lunar grabbed her patched messenger bag from a tree that was behind their mansion. They went to grab the fluxweed first and Lunar grabbed an empty jar from the bag, putting as much fluxweed in the jar as possible. She gave Kai an empty jar and some dragonhide gloves with green noise canceling headphones, telling him to gather some Mandrake leaves as well. Lunar rushed off into the forest to find the herd of bicorn that lived there.
She stopped dead in her tracks when she heard a low growl. Lunar slowly crouched to the ground and grabbed a silver dagger that was hidden in her boots under her dress. When Lunar heard the growl behind her, she quickly turned on her heel and slashed the red wolf behind her. Her breath was baited and blue eyes met golden eyes. Lunar could easily telling was a werewolf once the wolf backed away dazed, their snout bleeding profusely. She grabbed the wand that her cousin let her borrow over the summer.
In a loud voice, she pointed the wand at the wolf and screamed "stupefy!" The wolf fell back and Lunar got to her legs quickly, sending red sparks into the air. She smiled triumphantly for a second before she was pushed onto the ground and felt something harshly bite her shoulder. Lunar's scream was high pitched and her magic lost control, breaking the trees around her and sending the wolf flying back.
Kai quickly ran to Lunar, staring in horror at her bloody shoulder. He froze in place and he could feel tears falling on his face. Lunar looked up at him and her eyes went wide, noticing the wolf sneaking up behind him.
"BROTHER MOVE!"
Everything seemed to go so slow for Lunar. The wolf mauled her brother and he fell to the ground in a heap of broken limbs, torn clothes and ripped skin. She stood up shakily and sobbed with no sound. She immobilized the wolf and looked at her brother.
A pink moth with a slash on their wings slowly flew away from his mouth.
She rushed over to him and repeatedly screamed for him to wake up. After what felt like hours her parents ran towards them and had to pull Lunar away from Kai. She knew her mother was casting her magic, but all Lunar could do was quietly sob for Kai to wake up.
