Luna loved to read and go on family trips to the outdoors. She enjoyed a quiet life as long as it was to her standards, nothing she could not understand or believe and nothing childish or immature. But lately she had been seen things that were starting to feel uncommon and unrealistic, things that were starting to sound crazy even when she said them in her head.
The text she received said to look at her tall window and so she did only to find a person's figure standing in the window with a bright light illuminating behind him making the person seem surreal and magical. Luna's heart started to beat fast as she got nervous, not knowing what was happening. She felt frozen and slowly backed away, the person then moved inside the room jumping down from the tall window.
"Luna?" – she thought she recognized the voice but it didn't stop her from screaming, just as the first scream started to come out from her mouth a hand quickly stopped it. She panicked and started to hit the person, her eyes closed trying hard to escape the cage of strong arms she felt she was in. – "Luna stop, calm down." – She heard a light English accent and opened her eyes wide. As she calmed down the hand left her mouth.
"Peter?"– Luna asked surprised at the blond but was cut short as her mother came to the door.
"Luna, is everything alright?" – Luna started to panic, but as she turned back to Peter he was gone, as if he had disappeared in mid air – "Luna? Is Ben there?"
"….eh no sorry, my bad I just saw an ugly insect, it surprised me so I screamed," – she hated lying, but the problem at hand didn't give her a choice. – "Mother, I'm going to bed so talk tomorrow."
"So soon? I thought we could talk a little more since I'm barely here." – Her tone was sad and it broke Luna but she could not risk it.
"Tomorrow maybe we could go shopping?"– She asked hopeful.
"That would be perfect, then get some rest honey."
"Night, mom" – she calmed down and went running to the window trying to find Peter, but there was nothing but the street lights and the night wind.
"Looking for me?" – Luna was going to yell again, but Peter held her to him so it came out muffled hidden by his chest. – "Would you stop screaming? It is most unnecessary at the situation we are at the moment."
"Are you English?" – Luna had to ask especially not that she noticed more of the accent.
"…yes, I may have been born there, but I don't recall well," – he eyed her curiously but Luna had too many questions on her mind to stop talking.
"Where the hell did you hide?"
"The ceiling" – Luna stared at him in disbelieve
"Are you mocking me?"
"I would never mock a lady" – he said looking at her eyes, Luna backed away slowly.
"How did you get here? How did you know where I lived?"
"I found your cell phone."
"I left it at school how you did you know that too?"
"I heard you tell your brother about it, so after we parted I went to get it for you, I looked up your address as well."
"I think you're lying to me."
"I think you're being ungrateful and paranoid." – Peter looked upset about the questioning Luna was giving him, but she had to question him, she just could not trust him completely. He was also in her room at night and hidden from her parents. She felt her common sense going out the window.
"I just can't take you seriously specially with your name, is that really your name?" – Peter moved his head towards the window as if he had heard something, then he just walked towards it with such grace and silence that Luna was amazed. He sat down on the window's border looking out to the street. Luna felt ignored and was going to talk when he beat her to it.
"I haven't told anyone my real name in the longest time, I would get the same reaction out of people and it got problematic for me so I went with other names. Where I live my name makes everyone have three reactions, happiness, hate or fear," – he seemed tired and lonely as he explained it to Luna.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt your feelings like that"
"Feelings?" – Peter's brown eyes seemed to shimmer – "If I were to worry about having my feelings hurt I would not be as amazing as I am today" – He smirked making Luna shiver, it had the same dark meaning as the one the fox boy had giving her.
"Oh, my apologies for insulting your oh so royalty of a pride" – Luna had been having a very bad day to even consider letting that go – "You must be very proud of yourself with such a stuck up pride"
"You are very fun to talk to" – he said smiling the golden curls dropping in his eyes. Luna couldn't help herself and went towards him extending her hand to touch his hair, but stopped midway realizing what she was going to do. He looked at her with soft eyes and smiled warmly as he took her hand and brought it to his hair so she could touch it. Luna felt embarrassed under his glance but was surprised at how soft and unique Peter's hair was. – "If it's you I don't mind" – Peter's voice was very soft and it was soothing to Luna's ears as if she had heard it before and made her at ease. Peter was strange to her and something about him made her want to know more, keep him where her eyes could see him. – "Luna, would you stay with me?" He whispered to her.
Suddenly she jumped as her phone rang, the melody of Only Time filled her room, she went to pick it up and the name in the screen was Peter. She let an eyebrow up curiously as she turned to him to question why he would call her, but he was no longer there. Luna ran back to the window, but Peter was nowhere to be seen. Luna glanced back at her cell, but didn't dial back, she laughed at herself as she sat down where he had been seconds ago.
"What a strange person" - she smiled holding the red feather he had strap to her phone, hoping to see him again soon.

She was going to pick a book when another one fell to the floor not so far away, it was small and it looked old, but it scared Luna that she felt she was not alone. Slowly she walked towards the book and picked it up, indeed the book looked old, but it looked like a treasure to Luna, something she would keep safe, something with some old secret in it. She moved the dust away revealing the name of the book, making her heart go crazy. A scent of pine trees hit her like the morning breeze; she closed her eyes taking the scent in like the most natural thing in the world. She felt a very light breeze behind her and then a slight breathing.
"All children except one grow up."
