Tears of a moon maiden

It had been nearly a day when the group of three stopped walking at a sign the pointed in two different directions, but for some odd reason they went the same way...to the dark castle. Danny and Luna decided to stop for lunch. Danny leaned up against the sign and huffed.
"What troubles you, Danny?" Luna asked as she handed Danny brown paper bag, supposedly holding a sandwich.
"Nothing..." he lied as he opened the bag and was greeted by an all too familiar voice.
"I am now the brown paper bag ghost!" the box ghost said, "beware." He said
Danny yawned jadedly, "Iggy sick'em." Iggy did just that and ran after the box ghost leaving him alone with Luna.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you become the halfa?" Luna asked out or the blue.
"No I don't mind." Danny said and stretched. "My parents had been working on the ghost portal for some time, but one day they gave up. I wanted to see what all the fuss was all about...I guess it'll teach me not to be nosy... Anyway, I put on this protective ghost suit and walked inside, at first nothing happened. Then I felt a surge of energy, the next thing you know I'm out like a light."
"Oh, did it hurt?" She asked him, "How did you react when you saw your hair and eyes...I saw your human form earlier." She said
"I was, needless to say a little freaked, and so I told my friends..."
"Sam and Tucker?"
"That's right and they have been behind me ever since, that's why I have to find them I cant let them down." He said "especially Sam." Danny said, "So what's your story?" he asked her.
Luna looked down at her hands. "Well I was born to a humble family in Ancient Egypt. My father was a farmer and my mother was a seamstress, I was to take after her. One day the Pharaoh sent his men in search of a sacrifice to satisfy the moon God, I was to be taken because of my pure heart. My mother protested and said that she would take my place."
"Then she was taken away from us. The offering wasn't to be for sometime so I walked to the palace because my father had become ill and I had a message to give her from my father." Tears slid down her face.
"You don't have to finish if you don't want to." Danny said
"No, I can finish." She said "Well when I got to the temple I found that my mother had been beaten to death not my the Pharaoh's priests, but men who had disguised the selves as priests. They caught me and the next day I was offered to the God of the moon." She said, "I never got to tell my mother what my father wanted to tell her."
"What was it?"
"Believe that the Gods will have mercy in their hearts and remember that I will always love you." Luna said
"I'm so sorry." Danny gathered her up in a hug.
"That's not all...I have been keeping something from you..." But before she could finish Iggy set fire to the sign Danny was leaning on. The cause was the fact that Iggy had missed the box ghost.
"Well I guess now is I good a time as any to choose our path." Danny said looking to the right, a forest of malevolent trees and a dirt rode, or to the left, a lovely little path to the right. "Let me guess, that one to the right is the fastest."
"Yep." Luna said and they packed up and headed right.
----------------------------------------------
They hadn't gotten too far when they heard music and smelled food; it had been almost five hours since they had last eaten. Danny and Luna walked up to a bush as a campsite came into view.
"Gypsies." Luna breathed... "We should go." She warned but it was too late.
A gypsy with long black curly hair and a black beard stepped up to them, "no, come and join us," he said
"We should really be going..." Danny said and was nudged by Luna,
"We would love to join you. Thank you kind sir." Luna said as Iggy jumped into her arms from the ground.
As Luna and Danny sat on a log watching the gypsies dance to the sound of tambourines and flames. "Why did you accept?" Danny asked
"Never decline an invitation form a gypsy, it can prove to be fatal." Luna said
"Now, you dance." An old woman said to Danny as she pulled him up. Luna laughed and clapped along with the others as Danny danced with the old woman. Danny then pulled Luna up with him. He was having the time of his life and he couldn't even enjoy it without his friends. He wanted so much to hold Sam in his arms... 'I think I'm...I am in love with my best friend.' His mind said
The night drew one and after listening to gypsy tales and drinking a liquid that burned his throat Danny was ready to call it a day.
The fire was put out and everyone was now sleeping under the moonlight and soon sleep would take him. The last thing her heard were the soft sobs of a friend...
