~Sage
The little boy continued to drag me outside until he stopped at his sandbox. "Look! I built this all by myself!" he said showing it off excited. I nodded and tried to smile, "It... Looks nice..." He turned away and started pawing away in the sand and dirt again. All the sudden a little tail appeared and little brown ears twitched. I blinked. He reminded me more of the father than the mother.. That was interesting..
"Look what I found!" He jumped up and pulled me down into the sand with him. "It's a four leaf clover! Mommy is always telling me that they're good luck." he looked at it with big eyes before digging a small hole and setting it down in it before he souped some sand over it. "Now I'll always know where it is!"
Jumping up he started running around, "Come on! Lets look for others!" I sighed and looked back to see what Luna was doing. She was talking to her brother and his wife. I caught her eye for a second and she almost seemed amused.
"Come on! Come on!" he grabbed my hand and I was forced to wander around on my hands and knees looking for more four leaf clovers. Suddenly I heard the door open and I looked up to see it was Moon's wife, Rika. She smiled and mouthed "I'm sorry" before going over to her son.
"What are you looking for?" he looked up at her with shinning eyes. "It's a secret!" She laughed. "Oh, is it now?" They talked a little bit more before I stopped listening, cause I felt kind of like I was eavesdropping... I wandered around on my hands and knees a little longer.
"Come here!" I heard a little whisper from Nathan. I looked up and he was hunched over the sandbox. "We have to hide it from mommy and daddy!" he waved me over. "I can't give it to them until I've found one for both of them!" he frowned. "Have you found one yet?" I shook my head. He seemed a little discouraged so I tried to smile and reassure him.
"It's fine. Come on, lets build something for your dad." We spent the next few minutes making a little castle while Rika sat and watched them with a giggle. "No peaking!" Nathan squealed and Rika covered her eyes again, "Okay, okay." It wasn't very much. Just a pile of sand with some sticks sticking out of the top, some stones around it, and than grass was sprinkled on it.
"Done!" he grabbed my hand and than ran over to get his mom. I saw her get up almost looking like she was in a little pain, but she quickly regained her composure. He rushed us inside, "Daddy! You should come see the stuff Sage and I made!" he let go of my hand and lead his parents back outside.
I looked at Luna and smiled before walking back over to her. She was lucky to have a family like this. I mean.. Of course I loved Spinner, she was my sister. But she's been so different since we got here...
“What, did you play in the dirt or something?” I snapped out of it as Luna started to talk. "Something like that," and she laughed while I couldn't help but smile too.
“Hey, do you want to leave Harmony with me?” I looked at her surprised. Did she just.... "Leave...?" I mumbled still surprised. Why would she want to leave? She would just drop everything and go back? I looked back at Moon and Rika. I could only guess now what they had been talking about... Would thye really go back? And what about Nathan? Did they want to raise him in a place like that?
"You don't have to if you don't want to..." she said and I staied silent. "No...I want to go with you." I looked up at her and smiled. Life would be boring if I didn't have someone to talk to. All the other people here... All they did was ignore me. But Luna was different. We always talked and I was always at ease around her.
She seemed glad that I was going. "Do you know when you're leaving?" she shrugged. "We aren't sure yet.. Soon though." I nodded. Everything had been so crazy lately with all that was happening. Suddenly I started to think.. What about my sister?
I knew she hated humans. She hated them so much. She was so caring, but since she pretty much lead our little group here, she was also counted on to protect them. I would never forget her cold expression as her sword dripped blood. I quickly pushed that thought out of my mind.
All I could do was ask her... I looked back up at Luna, trying to get the image out of my head of my sister. "Come on. Don't you want to see our little castle we made while the grownups talked?" I joked and she laughed as I lead her out the door.
