Warning, this chapter is very fast paced, and can be hard to follow. (Sorry.) I wrote it so quickly, and I tried to jam a lot of different ideas into it. It's also sorta long, sorry to bore you guys. (Sneak Peek at this chapter) I don't truthfully know where the prophecy is going, so it might take a while to take affect. A few parties, maybe a game of truth or dare, (if you guys want) and even MAYBE a play or something. If you have ideas on what I should add before the prophecy kicks in, please feel free to let me know, and I'll do majority rules or try to set up a poll of sorts. I'm going to try to post every day, or every other day, until I get enevitable writers block. Enjoy this chapter!

Moon

What no one knew, and would probably never know, was that she could read dragon's minds, and she could tell the future. Even after the secret came out that none of them were like that, Moon was the exception there always was. And what again no one else knew (well, obviously the person who thought it knew it) was why she had blushed when looking at Qibli. He had been watching her from the corner of his eye on the sofa, and she had listened to his every thought - even if most of it was extremely complex.

She's pretty. Dark complexion, black straight hair, and lash-framed brown eyes. Wait… are those silver specks? They're hard to see, but I think so…. He had inconspicuously glanced around at the room. I'd say Winter would be the most dangerous, but I don't think he'd attack anyone unless they provoked him alot. Not like my teasing, although for a second I was convinced he would slam me against the wall and strangle me. Moon was surprised they knew each other from before, but she could barely fit her own thoughts in anymore. His mind was so fast, calculations going on as if it was first-nature. But it wasn't that that mystified her. It was that he wasn't even aware he was doing it. All of the information was being stored away for later, but he wouldn't use it unless it was needed.

How can I get her to notice me? Hmmm… Oh, I'll just be myself - funny and a little mischievous. Let's see, Winter would be the perfect cover… And he had planned the whole thing out. And it had worked. Moon was jolted back into the moment when a very loud and excited voice called out from very near her; "Hi!"

Moon's head popped up from her book. A little Rain had walked in, and was smiling a mile a minute. She had slightly tanned skin from being in the rainforest, shifting hair, and a dress that couldn't decide what color it was. When Moon had first seen it, it was a bright yellow with blue spirals, but was now a lime green with purple stripes. As Moon watched, the Rain glanced down and frowned for about a nano-second. Her hair went blonde with two bright streaks of pink; a blue streak was in between them. Her dress settled into a cream color. Moon opened her eyes more, having squinted when the colors got too much for her. The Rain looked back up and grinned widely.

"I'm Kinkajou! What's all your names?!" She seemed to radiate excitement.

"U-Umm," Moon stammered. Qibli took up for her, thankfully.

"I'm Qibli, and this," He gestured towards Moon, "Is Moon. Well, it's actually Moonwatcher…" He tilted his head a bit and thought for a split second. "Just call her Moon." Kinkajou was practically bouncing.

"Nice to meet you!" She gushed out. "Are we everyone? Not that I'm disappointed, you guys look amazing! But I somehow imagined more people." Suddenly, Winter appeared from around the corner.

Great, his mind hissed, Another idiot. Moon tried to ignore him, but she was actually deeply offended. She wasn't an idiot, and Qibli was definitely not an idiot. From the way his mind moved, he was probably as smart as any queen - if not more so. Kinkajou couldn't read minds, but since Moon could, she shot a look at Winter. He looked stunned for a minute, and his thoughts raced.

What? Why is she looking at me like that? What did I do? His thoughts paused. She's actually really pretty… wait, can she read my mind? I heard this legend once, that if there are silver specks in a Night's eyes, they can read minds… Nah, they confirmed that no one could do it and it was all a hoax. Well, I'm glad she can't because she is very very pretty… STOP! STOP STOP STOP! Mother told you NOT to do this! Especially with a Night. They're the definition of Night enemies. STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS! Moon hurriedly shut out his mind. She was reeling. Kinkajou snapped her out of it though when she sprang over to Moon and gave her a giant hug. Moon locked her arms to her sides, paralyzed. Hugs were not her thing. She looked over Kinkajou's shoulder and locked eyes with Qibli. He shrugged and suddenly grinned. He went over to Winter and dragged him out from behind the corner. The Prince yelped and struggled, but to be honest, Qibli was probably stronger than him. Kinkajou jumped up when she saw the Ice, and her thoughts burst through Moon's head. Before Moon tried to process them, she slipped from Kinkajou's grasp and went over to the island, clearing her own thoughts.

Oh my gosh he's hot for an Ice. The way his streaked blue hair falls in front of his face, the way he resists but can't do anything. Why isn't he EXCITED?! College is amazing! I never thought I would get here, but now I am here and it's AWESOME! What was his name? Did someone say it? I'm trying to meet everyone, but I still haven't! I wonder if anyone else is hiding - or if there are more roommates. Well, I guess they're dorm-mates, but whatever. Her thoughts were scattered and unruly, so Moon blocked them too. She knew it was prying, but she was fascinated by Qibli's mind, so she started to listen to his thoughts. Only his conscious ones though, not the unconscious ones that ran a hundred miles per hour.

Winter is ticked, but I saved Moon. She was looking super uncomfortable. I wonder why she doesn't like other dragons? None of my business though. Good deed of the day marked off my list. His conscious thought stopped for a second, which surprised both Moon and Qibli. How can I get her to notice me? Like, not just acknowledge me, know I exist, more of like, how can I get her to realize who I am, and now what I come off to be - without just telling her? Hmm, now that this dragon - His mind went into storage and pulled out the name - Kinkajou is here, can I use her as cover? She's super energetic… His mind started doing calculations again, so she waited until she could actually read his thoughts without getting a massive headache.

Let's see. I could help her move her st- Nah, she was here way before us, and her bags are gone. She probably has them put up already, and besides, that's way too high school. I heard there was this cafe downtown, I could ask her to go with me after classes or something…? She might not like coffee though, and that would be awkward. His mind slowed down a tiny bit. You need to observe a bit more. She's just like all the rest of the dragons. You'll get to know her quickly without her even knowing you know. His conscious butted in.

I don't know Qibli, said his mind. It was funny, really, how he talked to himself in his head. Moon smiled, and ducked her head at the counter so no one could see. Even though Qibli was thinking about her, he was focused on Kinkajou and the struggling Winter.

What don't we know? Shot back the other half of his conscious.

Ok, well, we do know most things, but I'm not sure about this Moon. She seems… different somehow. Like, maybe we won't be able to get a very good read…? It was like he was arguing with himself.

Pfft. We can read anyone. Let it drop. Qibli shook his head literally, as if clearing his thoughts, which did actually happen.

We're dont thinking about this. But, I've come to a conclusion. I'll look into her, get a read, and then see where it goes. I don't even know if she will be my friend, much less my… His train of thought crashed. He had no words to fit that blank. Girlfriend? Best friend? Moon could feel waves of disgust from his thoughts.

Qibli, you're helpless. You just met her for moons sake! Suddenly he was slightly amused - even if it lasted only a second. Haha. No pun intended. Moon wanted to laugh, or better yet, smack her forehead with her palm and roll her eyes.

Ok, you're done. Stop thinking about her. You came here for grades - you're not like the jocks from the Scorpion Den High School who all they want is the girls. You're gonna get good grades Qibli. A's only. One B, and Thorn will know you're distracted. She sent you because she knows you can do good. You won't get distracted by one girl! Keep your head! He started thinking about the quizzes and exams, and Moon quickly blocked him out. She really needed to not read people's minds. It was annoying, and she learned things she didn't want to - or things that she wasn't supposed to know. Example - two guys already had crushes on her. Effects it had on her - she now knew, and she had to keep it to herself. Plus, they both seemed… ok? She didn't know - Qibli was smart, and was a bit rough. He didn't exactly care what people thought of his look, he just wanted people to know him for him, not his status or riches. Winter… was pretty much the exact opposite. Striking looks, and he only wanted people to know the royal part of him. Not the part where he was secretly way to kind, and he couldn't harm dragumans. Wait… where had that come from? Moon was confused. She knew it was true but… where had it come from? Ohhhh, she knew know. Flooding back to her came the thoughts of Winter while she had been listening to Qibli.

How come I have to act like this? Well, I mean, everyone would be disgusted of me if they knew the true me, but I mean, I would be me. I remember when Mother found out what I was really like…. The scene played back in his head, and even though it was a matter of seconds, the time and length of the memory was longer.

I was hunting on the ice, determined to impress Mother and Father by catching a polar bear. Finally, I spotted one. It was large - larger than most. With yellowish fur, it was older than most. As I looked, two small cubs came scrambling out of a hole in the ice. They were young - too young to leave their mum. I paused, and my true self showed. Instead of launching the spear immediately, I stopped and watched them play. Suddenly, two dragumans crawled out from behind a chunk of ice. I was fascinated - I had no idea they came so far North. As I watched them, their furry wings spread open, as if they were about to take off. Suddenly, they scrambled back behind the chunk of ice, and I saw a shadow come from behind me. I whipped around and saw Mother, Father, Hailstorm, and Icicle. Icicle had caught a grown polar bear already, and Hailstorm had two seals slung over his right shoulder. Mother had looked down in disdain.

"Catch it you fool!" She had snarled. This alerted the polar bears, and they ran into the ice where no dragon would dare go. Mother had slapped me. "You good-for-nothing-" She had shouted. I kept my eyes away from the dragumans. The royal family sometimes ate them, and I had no intention of letting Mother and Father eat these. Hailstorm spotted them cowering, and opened his mouth to say something. I quickly glared at him, and he slowly shut his mouth. He knew how I adored them for no reason. He had even helped me catch a few. Catch-and-release, but they were fun to observe. That was the first day of disappointment…

The story stopped, and Moon had to swallow a lump in her throat. That was so sad. She felt bad for Winter, because his parents couldn't see the good inside , his thoughts whipped into high gear.

Why does it feel like there's something in my head…? It's really weird, as if someone is eavesdropping on me. Wait… that Night… could she be reading my mind? Suddenly, he was furious with fear. GET OUT OF MY HEAD! I KNOW IT'S YOU, NIGHT! His thoughts shifted for a single second, and part of him said, Her name is Moon y'know.

I DON'T CARE! Wow, he was just like Qibli. Well, sort of. It was cute how they both had good and bad sides to them. And how they made them fight each other. As if there really was a little devil and angel in each of them.

GET. OUT. NOW! He roared. Moon shut him out and focused on the counter as WInter shot her a suspicious glare. Knowing that she couldn't ignore it, she looked up, confusion in her soft brown eyes. Winter looked away from her, looking slightly ashamed and self-angered. Moon focused back on what was happening. No more mind reading for her. She was done with the whole thing.

For a second, things went back to normal. She was back in the flow of events. Qibli was idly talking to Kinkajou about lessons and stuff, and Winter occasionally joined in. He would sometimes glance over at Moon, who was now rooting around in the cabinets to see what the dorm came with. She was counting her fourth box of poptarts she found, when suddenly a splitting headache made her lean heavily on the counter. She threw her hands up to her head, eyes squeezed shut.

An evil comes to shatter the sky,

An evil comes to scorch the land,

Unless together, friends united,

The school apart will not stand.

Be prepared for Rain,

For Ice, Sand, and Night,

An evil to arise,

For all to end in fight.

A mystery to keep hidden,

Lies to be heard,

To end with a secret,

A single word.

Moon felt her head clench, and she crumpled. She was dimly aware of Qibli shouting, and Winter rushing up to her, then standing still, frozen. Kinkajou's long hair was stark white, and her dress was pale green. Moon couldn't hear anything, and her vision was starting to fail. She was almost unconscious, and the very last things she could perceive was Qibli catching her before she hit the floor, and him demanding for Winter to call someone. Kinkajou sprang out of the door, calling for help. As Moon slipped from consciousness, she heard Qibli muttering to her, "It's fine, we'll find someone…."

Yay Moonbli's! There will be more for all my Moonbli brethren, and for all you Winterwaters, I might be generous and try it out. BUT I think I'm going to stick with Moonbli for right now. IF you disagree, and I should start out with Winterwater, just let me know, and depending on how many people want it, I might do it and alter the chapter flow. I already have the chapter for tomorrow planned out, stay tuned!
