~A sigh for tired eyes and the sound of little white lies~

It has been four days since our journey started. It has been long, restless, and it hurts ALLOT! I fix the bandage on my knee where i got shot by a skeleton. Raiden and Shard seem to be in perfect harmony as they talk and walk at the same pace over the same ridiculous things. I look around, nothing unusual today. Or..any other day. In fact everyday is almost the same...

From in a tree above me I hear the rustling of leaves and feel as if I am being watched. I look up and see a girl with bright purple eyes and blond hair watching me with a giant smile.

"HI LUNA!" says the girl I don't recognize by much.

"Do I know you?" I ask and the girl laughs until she notices that I'm telling the truth.

"It's me! Katie!" the girl says with a giggle and a bright smile.

Then, it clicks...I'm so stupid! How did I forget my best friend?!

"Oh. My. GOSH!" I kind of (totally didn't) yell.

"Now you remember!" She says with a laugh.

"GEORGE IS A POTATO!" Raiden says as he comes out of the middle of now where. I screamed and watched as he was clearly happy with himself. Katie just stared at him like he was crazy. Well, at times, he probably is. We just push past him but he keeps talking, and as he does, HE LEANS ON ME! I CAN'T STAND IT! I just push him off only for him to lean on me more.
At one point Shard walked over and started to drag him along only to fail with Raiden having conversations with Charlie. Trust me, you get used to it.

"What did the fish say to the crab?" He asked at one point.
"What?" I ask. Mistake!
"I need some serious kelp I whaley want to find my friend!" He said.
"OMG!" At that point I had the sudden urge to tie him to a tree.

" Its terrible! The puns have been going on for hours! Its not even punny! Oh no! Its caught on to me!" I thought to myself. I turned to him and put my hand on his mouth. "SHUT UP WITH THE PUNS FOR NOTCH SAKE! PLEASE!" I yell. He seems up set but instead he taps me on the head and I remove my hand.

"What?" I ask
He has a giant smile on his face "Tag." Then he runs off.
"I SWEAR TO GOD WHEN I GET YOU-!" I didn't even finish, I just chased him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -4 hours later-

I caught him ten minutes earlier and told him enough and to annoy Shard surprisingly, he did. He is so childish! My gosh!

Eventually we set up camp: Three small tents, campfire, log seats, and torches all over the place. I lay back and look up at the stars, I suddenly remember Ciara..

~flash back~

"Look up Luna! Theres the northern star! And the moon!" She taught me the constellations and how to find my way home using the stars. We would paint the sky and more!

"Luna love" she would say "One day, I won't be here. So if you ever get lost, follow the stars just as I taught you! I promise, they won't ever let you down!" She told me. But sometimes they do, because they don't make a constellation of her..."

~Present~

I hear Katie talking with Raiden, and Shard getting wood. The crickets chirp a melancholy song until I look up and see a constellation of Ciara smiling her beautiful smile, full of pride. And suddenly, I feel proud and sad at the same time..
