After waking up the next day Luna had gone down for breakfast with the book in her hand, she had looked at it for a long time considering whether to read it or had gotten her attention especially with that magical aura around him. She had read the Peter Pan story before, she just couldn't pinpoint when and why it gave her a headache when she tried thinking about it. At the table she got some bread and cheese to make a sandwich,she looked up to see when her mother came down all dressed up and felt something was not right. Luna put her sandwich down and stared at her mother calmly expecting an explanation from her.
"If you want to ask just do so, Luna. It's not like I won't tell you" – she said as she took her keys.
"What's the occasion?"
"…..Work" – she eyed Luna with care knowing how it would get her upset.
"I thought you took at least a month to spend with us."
"They need me to take care of something and your father will go to the country for a few days to see a possible expansion project."
"What about us?"
"Aunt Macy will stay wi…"
"Is she our mother?" – Luna couldn't help herself, she was angry and she wasn't waiting next year to say it to her mother or maybe it was that she was already hurt. –"I can't say if she is, since she has practically raised us."
"Luna, listen…"
"No you listen!" – She yelled feeling her eyes burn – "What are you and dad running away from? Is it so bad to see us every day? I get you have impossible jobs but it's not like you don't have the time to come home at least twice a week and take care of your children!"
"Luna, you aren't kids anymore is not like you need us all the time with you."
"And what about the time you weren't?" – Her mother's eyes went wide – "This is all because of what happened in England!"
"No, Luna that's not true. What happened that time was an ac…"
"It was no accident mother, you just couldn't take the time to listen to me or believe me, and thanks to that Ben also had to suffer. You know what? I don't care anymore."
"Then why don't you both go with us? We have told you hundreds of time to move in with us"
"That's not our home! This is!"– Luna moved her hand fast and accidentally knock her book to the floor snapping her out of her anger. She stared at the book feeling remorse. Luna took a deep breath and look up at her mother. – "Do you even care what goes around with us?"
"Luna, I love you both very much, I know I haven't done things correctly but I'm willing to try I just have things I can't stop working on. I'm here now can't you just take that and use it as you can?"
"I don't want you and dad for just a few weeks or days I want you for dinner, for breakfast, for my first day of school, my first day of college, for when I need a hug, or to laugh. Or maybe just because I could lose you one day and I won't have any memories to share, to tell, or for myself." – They both looked at each other for a long time then looked up as Ben came down looking confused but eyed Luna as if he knew just like many times before what had been going on. He tilted his head a bit telling Luna to go chill outside and without any other exchange of words she left.
She stopped in the entrance of her house and looked to the forest nearby and decided to take a walk even if it ended badly. She had no phone or anything but her clothes, yet she felt alright and free walking around the trees as if she was in her natural habitat. She only wanted to get away from it all for a while, her heart was not ready to spill all its secrets. Everything would had gone well if only she would had not decided to follow the strange sea scent she got all the sudden and take a wrong turn resulting in falling down a small hill where she was capture in the arms of a shoulder long black-haired man, the same one she had bump into at the mall.
"Hey sweetheart, what a lovely surprise has fallen into my arms." - Luna felt everything about him wrong and she felt fear for the first time in a while, he smirked at her but Luna didn't like it. – "Must be faith that you're in my hands now."
"I'm in your arms not hands and secondly I'd like you to put me down."
"Can't you see I kind of like you?" – His eyes glimmered with malice.
"You can have a nice cup of fuck you and get away from me." – Luna's temper was rising.
"I'd like the first part darling, but Luna you can't get away it's too late for that now."
"Why?"
"Once you're spellbound you can't get away from it."
"Spellbound by what?"
"By the one thing I hate the most." – Then he held her chin and kissed her making Luna raise her hand and slap him kicking off him then she looked behind him and her eyes opened wide at the glaring Peter. Luna knew then there was something very wrong with all of what was happening as the voice in her head whispered to her.
"Spellbound by Peter Pan."
