A/N: Sorry I haven't been updating very often, stupid writer's block. Anyways, enjoy this chapter! I hope you had a good weekend! Although I may not be very experienced in writing, this story is able to be twisted and turned in many ways which allow me to make this an even better story for you all. Also, I have made a change to Lumina's appearance; her eyes are now brown.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing but my OC Lumina Moon and her half-sister Cora Appleberry.
…
Scouring the cupboards for maple syrup, I finally find it; and something else. A silver, vine-like bracelet lay sprawled on the bottom of a shelf.
"Hey guys, what's this?" I ask holding the bracelet up.
"What's what?" Tasha asks confused.
Clint looks at me.
"Um..the bracelet in my hand..?" I frown.
"What on Earth are you talking about?" Clint asks.
"Uh-um.. never mind.." I reply awkwardly.
"You feeling okay Lumina?" Natasha asks.
"Peachy."
"Okay then..." Clint shakes his head.
"Here's the syrup, I'll um. Be in my room." I say as I set the syrup jar on the table.
Running to the elevator, bracelet in hand, I wonder why they couldn't see it. Is it special? Am I special? I guess I'll just have to find out. Arriving on my floor, I bound down the halls to my bedroom. Opening the door, slipping inside and latching the lock, I walk over to my bed. Bending down, I press the button, the automated voice once again asks for a name.
"Lumina Moon." I answer.
"Access granted."
With a click, the wall opens to reveal my favorite place. Entering, I skip over to my couch and sit down. I roll the moonstone encrusted bracelet around in my palm, silently studying it. Deciding to finally put it on, I slip it over my wrist.
"A little too big.." I frown.
Suddenly, the bracelet shrinks, adjusting its size for a more comfortable fit.
"Not too small, not too big," I laugh at the reference, "Just right."
Leaning back in the squishy, soft cushions of the couch, I relax. Finally, a moment of peace and quiet, all to myself.
"Lumi? You in here?" a voice calls from inside.
Really? Now?
"Shit! I thought I locked that door." I whisper to myself.
"I just wanted to let you know, there's a new show out about your books. 'Shadowhunters' comes on at 9:00 if you want to watch it. Oh, by the way! Darcy Lewis is here, I think you'll like her. She's actually into the show too."
I hear a door close and decide then to take him up on his offer. Standing up, I head towards the door. Reaching the exit, there appears to be a button and a dial. Stopping to look at it, I see that there are different labels such as 'Lounge', 'Pool', 'Garden', 'Fort', 'Dance Floor', and 'Empty'. Frowning, I spin the dial to the 'Garden' option and wait for an effect. With many different sorts of sounds, the floor of Constellation Cove moves downwards, then a few moments later a new 'platform' takes its place; a garden. The rest of the room adapts itself to the look of a garden, the ceiling taking on a look of the sun and sky with clouds floating past, and the floor morphs into green grass.
With my mouth agape and many moments of gawking, I finally decide that I shouldn't keep Darcy waiting. Opening the door again, I scramble towards the doorway, making my way towards the elevator once more.
"JARVIS, what floor is Darcy on?" I ask.
"Miss Lewis is on floor 50 Miss Moon." JARVIS responds.
"Okay, thanks." I reply, pressing the 50th button.
A few seconds later, the elevator opens to reveal a large living room with several people standing within; Thor, a woman with brown hair, and a girl around her late teens, maybe twenties.
"Come on over, the show's about to start!" the girl beckoned.
"You must be Darcy." I comment as I jump over the back of the couch, landing right next to Darcy.
"Yep, and I made popcorn." she gestures to a bowl full of food.
"I've never had it."
"WHAT? Jane, activate Operation: Munchies!" she yells to the other woman.
"On it!" she responds, picking up a remote to a fridge and a phone.
"Should I be worried?" I joke.
"Only if you puke easily." she replies seriously.
"Darcy, what kind of coffee for Lumina?" Jane yells from the other side of the room, standing inside of the small kitchen.
"You know what kind." Darcy replies as an evil grin spreads across her face.
'Umm..should I be scared?' I ask myself.
