Truth be told, I can't think of a plot line. Yet. So for now, it's just going to be a short story. If you have any suggestions, please leave a review or PM me. Thanks a lot.
By the way, the name Luna actually means 'goddess of the moon.'
Elle helped load her friends new companions in her car before retreating back into her warm little pet shop and watching her drive into the distance.
She tried to ignore everything else and focus on her job, but her friend's words, everything just kept swirling around in her head.
A mere three hours later, not long after the skies had turned a beautiful shade of pink and orange with streaks of purple and the sun had set over the horizon, Elle was practically itching to call Luna.
But as she was working the late night shift, she still had four hours. Four long hours.
Bitting the inside of her cheek, she looked around the shop. Making her decision, she checked that there was an ample supply of food and water in each of the cages around the shop.
Packing up, she switched off the lights and started up her motorcycle. She couldn't take this any longer.
It was near midnight, and Elle debated going for the reason she wanted to sneak in the first place, the party, or going to her friend's place.
Luna's going through a hard time, what with her boyfriend's betrayal recently. I should be there, she couldn't help thinking.
Signing, she lighted the ignition, knowing full well her destination but racking her brain for a explanation of why would she be there late in the night...
Upon reaching home, Luna had kicked off her slippers before collapsing on the sofa.
Remembering, she pushed herself up with a groan and forcing herself to the door.
She brought her pets in and unlocked the cages, allowing them to stretch their legs as they immediately scampered out.
Smiling weakly, she walks into the kitchen and rummages around her cupboards.
Finding two tins of cat and dog food, she shuffled out.
The cat, had arched it's backs and was currently hissing at the dog. The dog was barking in retaliation, both threatening to wake up the neighbourhood .
The cat lept forward and scratched the dog across the nose. Whimpering, the dog scuttled away.
Dropping the tins, Luna rushed over to her pets and placed herself in the middle, forming a sort of barrier.
"Hey, hey, shhhh. What's wrong?" She tried to take on the most soothing voice she could manage, trying to ease the two as far from each other as possible.
Stroking the neck of the cat, Luna slowly eased the cat away from the dog. Lifting it up, she placed it on a cushion.
Making sure the cat wasn't going to try anything again, she made her way to the dog and rubbed his head comfortingly.
Bringing out her first aid kit, she helped him to clean his nose before applying medicine and covering it with gauze
Retrieving the food, she placed it down in front of the animals and watched as they slowly and cautiously approached the food.
Leaving them to their own, Luna picked up a file cornering how they were found.
Apparently, a day before Elle had picked them up, they had some how manged to appears from literally nowhere and get knock down by a van.
Even more surprising, their injuries had barely taken a day to heal. A broken leg, rib bone, and numerous deep cuts and bruises had been located right after their accident.
But looking at them now, Luna couldn't even spot a single remainder of their supposed injuries. And even if the wounds had healed, there would at least be scars left over.
Crouching over her dog, she quickly but gently parted areas of its fur, scanning over for any traces that might prove what was written no in the file. Not a single scratch or scar anywhere.
According to the vets that had tended to them, they had stated that it was a 'miraculous and imposible rate recovery'.
Puzzled, she picked up the now empty tins and threw them away. Walking to get water for them, she made a mental note to call Elle tomorrow first thing in the morning.
Based on what was stated in the file and what she had seen, there was obviously something strange going on.
Luna stood pondering the possibilities, what were the conditions allowing them to heal so quickly, and not leaving any scars.
Eyeing the phone, she contemplated calling Elle to ask. She simply couldn't wait for tommorow.
But as she reached for her phone, she heard yelp coming from the living room where her pets were probably fighting again.
Groaning in frustration, she went back to her living room as her dog sprang into her.
Her petite frame was no match for the unexpected sudden force and she was knocked over.
Seizing the chance, the seemingly over friendly dog started licking her face. Snorting, Luna couldn't help herself anymore and started laughing.
"Hey, c'mon, get off me." Luna stretched out her hand and pushed it away. Standing up, she took the cat up and brought it into a separate room. "You'll stay here tonight, OK?"
The cat hissed and narrowed it's eyes." Well, I can't have you two fighting again." The cat gave an angry meow and sat down at one corner of the room.
"Aw c'mon, don't be mad." Luna knelt down besides the cat and petted it. The cat purred, making Luna grin, before muttering to herself about needing to stop talking to animals.
Walking out of the room, Luna's eyes went to the clock. Thirty minutes to midnight. After making sure her dog would be more or less comfortable for the night, she went to take a shower.
Once she was done, she climbed into bed and pulled the covers over her.
She laid there, thinking about the past week. About her stupid boyfriend, Matt, and how things were going at home.
After tossing and turning, she finally fell into a fit full sleep, only to be waken at exactly midnight by footsteps.
Footsteps that we were coming from outside her room...
This sounds more like a horror movie setting, where a monster lurks inside her house. And once Elle gets here, it'll be too late for her too...
*plays creepy piano music*
Just kidding. Let me repeat, Luna will not be eaten by some shadow monster. Also, I may or may not have some ideas for a plot line already.
Of course, reviews and suggestions are welcome. Also, thank you to the people who have been following. Thanks a lot. You have no idea how encouraging this is for me.
