Suprise

It was noon when she had arrived at the train station. She hitch hiked into town and started to walk to her cousins' house. She knew that they weren't expecting her so she was going to have to tell them a lie. One that would make it so they didn't call her parents.

She remembered where the house was from when she visited as a little kid. She had a good memory when it came to finding places. So she found the two story white house quickly. It wasn't the cleanest looking place, but it was better than some of the other houses.

Moon walked up to the front porch. She took a deep breath, then sighed. Then she knocked on the door three times. It only took thirty seconds for someone to answer. It was Aunt Audrey.

"Moon?" She said. Even though she hadn't seen Moon for many years, Moon was the only girl she knew who had silver hair and eyes.

"Suprise!"

"What are you doing here? Not that I'm upset to see you just, well, suprised."

"Really? Mom was suppose to call you. Didn't she?"

"No."

"Sorry. Mom and Dad went on a second honeymoon. They didn't want to leave me alone so they were going to call you and see if I could stay. I guess they forgot. I can catch the next train home."

"Nonsense. Of course you can stay with us. Come in."

She took one of Moons' bags and went up the stairs.

"You can stay in the guest room."

As they went to the room Moon noticed that Dennies old room was still filled with his stuff. She didn't relise till now how upset the LaChance's were. She didn't say anything though. She didn't want to upset her aunt.

"Well her is the guest room. How long do you need to stay?" "Um. I can't remember how long they said I'd be staying."

"Don't you still have school?"

"Yes. I have my records with me so I can enroll."

"Well. If you have to enroll they you'll be here a long time."

"Is it to much?"

"No. Stay as long as you need." Moon hugged her aunt.

"Thank you."

"Anytime. I'll leave you to unpack."

Aunt Audrey left the room. Moon sighed and sat down on the firm bed. It had been a tiring day, despite the fact that she slept for so many hours on the train.

She stood up and opened her bags. She began taking her clothes out, folding them, and putting them into the dresser.

Moon heard the door downstairs shut, and then the whispering voices of her aunt and uncle. Aunt Audrey was explaining to Uncle Jacob about Moon. After a few minutes she heard someone softly knocking on the guest room door.

Moon turned and saw her uncle standing in the door way.

"Uncle Jacob." Moon walked over and hugged him. She never really liked her uncle. He never payed any attention to anyone except Denny.

"Moon." He patted her on the back. "How've you been?"

"Ok." She lied. "And you?"

"Fine." He lied back. "So your parents went on a second honeymoon?"

"Yup."

"It would be nice to get out of the house. Your aunt and I couldn't leave though. Gordie would probably bring his hoodlum friends around. I don't want some thief in my house. Well. I'll let you get situated."

"Thanks."

Moon dispised the way her uncle treated Gordie. She couldn't wait to see her cousin again. They use to get along so well. She only vaigly remember his friends. She had spent most of the time around the house.

She couldn't wait to see the town. She finally got to have a new beginning. Now all she had to do was pray for her life.
