Luna had been resting all day as she was given a sedative. She had slept all night and when she awoke the following day, she had no idea what terrible news awaited her. She got up feeling much better almost back to her old self. She headed to the bathroom only to realize that she was not at her house. She had clothes here as she stared at the opened duffel bag beside her bed. She remembered that she was still at Luca’s house.
Though she was happy to be there she quickly went to shower and started to pack her bag. She took the bag and headed downstairs to o home. She needed to be at home since she was feeling so much better. She couldn’t have those people thinking that she was weak or an opportunist. She had to leave Luca’s house. As she headed to the front door, she had to pass by the dining room and was stopped in her tracks when a familiar voice called out to her.
“Luna, leaving so soon?” she turned to see her friend Soccorah heading toward her. “What’s the rush at least have breakfast with us.” Luna was at a loss for words and dropped the duffel bag and ran up to her friend and scooped her up with a big hug. “Soccorah, what are you doing here?” she said emotion. “Can’t a girl miss her best friend. Geeze.”
They went into the dining room to join the others at breakfast. She was so happy to see Soccorah that she went through breakfast not noticing that her uncle’s seat was empty and the gloomy looks on the others present’s faces when they looked at her. After breakfast Luca’s father called her into his study and broke the sad news to her. Luna felt like her whole world had been shattered once more. “Is this ever going to end? Am I ever going to be granted a break? Every time I get even a semblance of normalcy, then something like this happens. What have I done to deserve this?” She cried out. Soccorah came in and hugged her allowing her to soak up her blouse in tears.
“I asked Soccorah to come as Luca told me how close you two are. You will need your friends to get through this. Rest assured that his death was not in vain and it will not go unpunished. Your uncle entrusted you to meso you will be moved to a room here at the soonest for your safety.” Luca’s father told her. “OK, but I need to get my stuff from the house.” She replied.
She cried her heart out in the room and pulled herself together. There was more at stake. Like getting revenge. Her uncle didn’t have to die. She was robbed of a future with him. Lydia would die. She would die that was for sure. She would pay for what she had done to her and what she wanted to do to the packs. Luna’s eyes glowed with fire in them yet she was calm. She managed to be angry and control her powers.
She opened her palm and a fire ball suspended over it then closed it and it disappeared. She lay down on her uncle’s bed and took in his scent one last time before leaving. She knew that he would not want her to wallow. He would want her to be happy. She knew that she couldn’t be truly happy until Lydia was dead. She made up her mind to not be weak and so she took a deep breath and left with Soccorah for the palace.
