Dimension Hoppers

You All Are Hoppers Too?

Guard's pov

"Star we need to keep a closer eye on Luna when she is out." Me and Star have been talking for a while now, and have been trying to come up with ways to help Luna on the field, but have came up with nothing so far.

"I know Guard, but its kind of hard when she has one of us staying here and guarding the base, and the other is in our toy form. How are we supposed to do that?"

"I don't know Star, but we need to try. Speaking of which we need to check on her." We walked back to the main bedroom, and walked over to the hammock. I could tell something was not right and what confirmed it was when I saw that Luna was not in it. Painc speeded though me as I started looking all around the base with Star on my heels. I didn't have to say anything for her to know what was wrong.  When we didn't see her in base, I started sniffing like crazy trying to pick up her scent.

As soon as I found her scent, I followed it out and on to the branch. The scent then leads to the ground below. I look at Star as she looked right back at me. We then looked ahead and opened our wings and jumped, gliding to the ground and landing safely. I quickly picked up Luna's scent again. About half way up the trail another scent was picked up.  Definitely a male around the same age as Luna. We kept following until we found where the scents were stopped for a moment.

But then we picked up the scents again heading back the other way.  We  kept following the scents to the creek. I looked around with Star but still following the scents to one rock in particular. As soon as I saw red on it, I tensed and ran faster, stopping next to the rock. I prayed that I was wrong, but sadly was not.  There was blood on the rock and both scents stopped here as well.

"*gasp* Guard is t-that what I-I think it is?" I looked behind me to see Star.  Even though we are not like normal animals and we can see colors and talk Star usually guards the base, rarely comes out.

"Yes Star, it is blood"

"W-who's blood is it though?" She walked slightly closer to me as I leaned closer to the blood on the rock and sniffed. My eyes went wide and my body grow tense.  I drew myself back as I turned to Star and spoke.

"Star, this is not good.  That is Luna's blood.  Something happened here and I'm not sure what it was."

"W-what!"

"We need to find her and fast." The scents then lead off another way and we ran after the scents. I pray that Luna is safe.

Luna's pov

All I saw was black then color came into play. A familiar scene came into view: it was my house that my mother, father, and I lived in before my father disappeared. My parents then came into view. My parents had fear and worry in their eyes as my mother ran to me and lifted me into her arms, then ran to my father and said.

"Brian, what are we going to do, they are blocking us from hopping, and they are going to kill us and take our sweet baby away." Tears were falling from her eyes and I wiped them away for her.  My father then spoke.

"Lila, please listen to me carefully. I have a plan.  We will go out the second story widow  and I will fly us to the woods from there we will go on foot. If these people give chase I will lead them away from you and Luna. You two run and find a safe place to hop, got it?"

"Brian no please there has to be another way for us to escape if it comes to that, there has to.  Please our baby needs their dad."

"Lila... you know as well as I do why I will put others and my family first before my own health." With that he kissed my mother's head and put his necklace around my neck.  He then kissed my head before pulling us all into a hug. But released us quickly when someone pounded on the door.
