"I'm Peter, Peter Pan."
The voice and words still hunted Luna, she felt sick and tired but most of all disappointed. The man she had hoped to see was just as crazy as the ones after her in animal clothes. The difference was that he had helped her twice and was very polite. He had even made her think she had been dreaming. Ever since she had met him everything had started to be weird and strange to the point where she didn't care anymore. After he had told her his name she had stared at him in disbelieve, but she saw no lie in his eyes. Luna decided to ignore the alarms in her head about the mysterious blonde and just pass it out as a coincidence. After walking together for a while he had to do something important, so he bid her farewell and disappeared, not before kissing her hand of course and staring straight into her blue eyes.
"Luna, darling what's the matter?" Her mother had entered her room with a worried face. They had arrived before Luna; she had returned to her house feeling she had stepped out of a dream and paranoid thanks to her animal stalkers.
"Luna?" Her mother asked again.
"Mother, I'm fine really. I just feel tired, that's all" – Luna smiled trying to assure her.
"Did you like your gifts?"
"Yes very much. Thanks a lot, mother"
"I'm so glad. Now, if only Benedict would come home already so we can have dinner,"- she pouted. Luna had to laugh, her mom was almost 36 years old and she acted like a 20-year-old girl.
"Mother, please you know what a workaholic he is sometimes. Just let him be, he will arrive when he has finished his work load or whatever he's up to."
"Macy told me you have been acting strange lately; she told me that it looked as if you were waiting for something to happen. Is there something you worry about, Luna?" – Her mother stared at the same color of eyes as hers, but Luna remained silent.
"No. Nothing at all," – she found it would be silly to mention the stalkers.
"Are you sure, darling? You can always talk to us you know." – Her mother gently caressed Luna's long dark hair – "You know you can always go with us and study abroad, you may even find a fine young man to marry."
"Marriage already mother? What is this the 18th century? – Luna laughed, but felt a bit angry at the mention of control over her life.
"No, I was just saying Luna, you are free to choose who you want just as long as he can provide a future for you."
"That's great and all, but I'm not interested in any of that at the moment so I will like to finish school and later go to where I think is best for me." – Luna got up and walked to her closet taking off her school uniform – "I want to rest a little, could I?
"Yes honey, I'll wake you up when Ben gets here so we can eat. Luna, why do you have Ben's phone?" She asked when she saw it on her bed.
"I lost mine; I think I left it in my classroom. I'll check on it tomorrow, don't worry." – Luna had maintained a well poker face; she needed to so that no one would worry about her. She had decided to take a bath to relax, when she had put on her winter pajamas her mother called from downstairs that Ben had arrived. She hurried downstairs to have dinner. Ben looked tired and upset, but when Luna tried to talk to him he just brushed her off. Luna was going to ask him what was going on but her mother called for her help so she let it go. When everyone was seated Luna tried to get Ben's attention, but he just ignored her. It was upsetting.
Luna, what have you been up to since our last visit? – Her father Tomas asked, he was very tall with dark eyes and always had the business attitude on. He used to be more of a family man back when Luna was nine years old, but after the accident the night they were out on a vacation he had changed. Her mother Claudia was softer and warmer, but she also had a firm hand when she needed to. Luna always thought she took on her father's attitude, but looked more like her mother.
"Nothing much, just normal school work and social activities with my friends," – she answered as she took a sip of her coke. – "Father, you think we could go to a family camping trip next week?
"I'm sorry, Luna I can't,maybe next year."
"So Ben, did you finish your extra work load? – Their mother asked, but he remained silent as if thinking his words carefully.
"Yes and I even saw a wolf" – everyone stared at Ben surprised.
"Nonsense Benedict, there hasn't been a wolf in these parts for a long time, stop making up stories," – Aunt Macy said as she continue on her food.
"I'm not lying, this wolf was very smart," – he eyed Luna for a second. – "It even had a fox as a friend."
Luna's heart sank, she recognized where he was going with his story. She remained calm but tried to give Ben a sign to keep it as low profile as possible.
"A wolf with a fox, honey this must be your best story yet!" – Their mother laughed.
"I agree mother, but that fox looked more dangerous than the wolf, almost like it could recognize me."
"I bet it's because you threw a rock at it when it tried to attack me," – Luna said calmly,but their parents had stopped eating and were staring at them as if they were crazy, only aunt Macy stayed eating normally as if they had said and Luna were looking at each other and it seemed something was wrong. – "Ben did the fox attack you?" Their mother asked.
"No but the wolf gave me a warning about the moon," – he replied.
"So, we got wolves now." – Luna said to herself feeling frustrated she remembered seen only the fox, the bear, and the rabbit. Now there was a wolf boy,that meant one more troublesome crazy bastard. – "Ben did they follow you?"
"Oh for Pete's sake, stop it already with the make-believe stories!" – Macy yelled already angry – "Stop and grow up!"
"Macy, let them be it sounds interesting anyway," – Claudia waved her hand at her then stared at her children – "But really what is all this about kids?"
"It's 's a new game we have, but it got boring, so I'll head up to my room first," – Ben said as he did one of his fake smiles and went upstairs, Luna also apologized and ran after him.
"Ben, wait! Listen!"
"No, Luna you listen! What the hell did you get yourself into? – His tone of voice got high, but it was still a whisper.
"I did nothing, they just decided to stalk me for no reason after they saw me in that damn club." – Luna felt her anger dripping in her words.
"What club?" – Ben questioned.
"It was a friend's idea, the point is if it weren't for …" – Luna stopped before she mentioned Peter to Ben; it would had made things worse for both. She also felt she wanted to keep that secret to herself. Luna turned her eyes away from Ben and went to her room stopping at her door. –"I'm sorry, Ben let's stop for now, I'm tired and we will just end up making things worse. Let's talk tomorrow." – Luna entered her room feeling angry and frustrated. She didn't like having fights with Ben, but she gained this one on her own, she needed to do something about the stalkers and fast. As she tied her hair into a ponytail she looked at the mirror and saw something silver on her bed that was not there before.
Her cell phone, only it had a new attachment to it, a red feather. Luna went towards the bed and picked up her phone, it was as she left it, nothing new to it except for the beautiful feather. She noticed she had a new message and opened it, her eyes wide open in curiosity as she did what it told her.
"Look to your window Luna"
