The Sun & Moon

 "Thanks. They went into the cave." Moon rolled her eyes, "At least Phoenix could've waited for me." Moon walked inside the cave and Eagle got up, after his drink of water, "Wait up!" He shouted, running along with Moon. "Woah... What is this place?" Moon looked around, eyes as big as golf balls. "Look at all the red and orange crystals! It looks so weird-" Eagle went over to touch one, "I don't think you should do that! Do you see all the other ones that look like they have stopped glowing? People probably touch them!" Moon explained. "Don't be so scared about things Moon- look there-" He slipped touching the orange one and the floor of the cave dropped them down. "C..o..u..l..d yo..u get of..f me- you're squ...ishing my fe..ath..ers- and i ca..not breath..h?" Eagle said, barely breathing. "Oh-.. sorry," Moon said, changing to her human form. "AA- NOT BETTER JUST HEAVIER-" Eagle whined. Moon got off Eagle and dusted her clothes off, "Any chance the others fell here too?" Eagle said, changing to his human form. Moon looked around and eventually saw footprints on the ground "Yep.." Moon pointed at the footprints. "Let's follow them then!" , "Wait, but, what if it's NOT their footprints?" Moon worried, "That's why you have a nose!" Eagle said, rolling his eyes. Moon and Eagle walked through the sun crystal cave. "So this place is dark- or like dark dark skies with stars?" Eagle said, trying to make conversation. Moon rolled her eyes, "Let's just continue walking.", "Okk no need to be eXtRA-" Eagle said, pushing Moon. They finally got to the gem, it was glowing red and orange with a glisten so bright- it was tiny but big glowing so bright- again with the golf balls, Moon's eyes went as big as them. "It never glows- unless", "Unless?", "Well, it's for the king and queen's kids- if you are who you are and Phoenix was in the cave... She must be near!" Eagle explained. Eagle went closer to touch it... He reached his arm out and stepped on the golden walk pad in front, which was a pressure plate. He stepped on it triggering a cage picking him up! "WOAH-" Eagle said, quickly turning into an eagle to escape. "Guys?" Phoenix said "Phoenix-" Eagle said, "MOON HELP US! PHOENIX'S UP HERE!" Eagle said, flying her up there. "You're very hard to carry- you're lucky I'm a guy," Eagle said, dropping her on the top of the cage. "Whatever. All Guys aren't strong- you're not strong.." , "Oh yeah try me-" Eagle said, jumping on the cage, In his human form. Moon punched him in the face causing him to almost fall off. "I HAVE A BLACK EYE!" Eagle said, touching his nose to feel blood.

Moon shrugged. "Anyways, Hey guys! You know you could've waited for me." , "Well Zero said it was a better idea to go- and that you're slow.. So might as well go before this slo-", "You would rather listen to a practical stranger instead of waiting for your-", "OKAY- NOT MY EXACT WORDS- Just.. get us out of here", "Oh and these are our new friends!", "I'm Zed!" , "I'm Chad!" The kitsunes, they shot earlier- helped them. So unprofessional! Moon rolled her eyes seeing the lock on the cage. "What was that cage for? It could've been for a dangerous animal or a mass murderer!" , "Okay- it was for anyone who touched the gem that's all drama queen-" Zero said, "That's it? You do realize somebody DID touch it here..." Moon said, glancing at Eagle, "And you be quiet! Trying to separate me from my sister, Phoenix." Moon crossed her arms, "That's not true- I'm just a better lea-", "SOMEBODY FOR A MINUTE JUST STOP AND GET ME OUTTA HERE!" Phoenix screamed. "WHY IS PHOENIX IN THERE!?" Eagle shouted. "You forgot- we have been up here, we got trapped earlier." , "Maybe it's his memory loss- anyways, I agree someone finds the key." Zero said. "I'll go I guess," Moon said, jumping off the top of the cage, walking away. "We're all gonna die," Phoenix said angrily. Moon went off for the key touching the walls and things. She remembered the key was small and started looking at the ground. "Maybe... THE KITSUNES!" Moon ran back to the team. "Kitsunes, Zed and uh chad? Do you have the key?!!" , "No- the spider has it.", "What the- wait for what?" , "The giant spider? With the horns? Behind this cave?", "Walking. Again?" , "Yeah he's pretty nice just ask him." The boys said- they talked at the same time which was odd. Moon walked back again slowly and was bored. "This sucks." She kicked the ground and fell. "Wait WHAT-" She screamed, falling down the trap and falling right in front of two doors. One had a key and the other a spider. "Spider," Moon said going in. The spider was giant! And nasty. As soon as she had walked in it bit her "AH-" Moon said. She didn't have her sword- she had to fight... AGAIN. After Moon battled the spider, she had scratches and bruises and a bad bad scratch on her leg deep, the same spot the centaur had and now... Worse. She practically crawled back to them and when she got there, key in hand... They were all out? "Wha- huh I just?" , "Oh sorry! I got out using my clothespin!" Zero smiled. She went to hug Moon. But when she did, Moon passed out in her arms. "MOON!" Dusk said going to her. He saw her wound and had taken off his shirt to use his shirt to cover the wound.

(So the blood would stop) "Okay, does anyone know CPR?", "I do!" Zero said. She started to do chest compressions. "How do we know she's not faking?" , "Girl- just do CPR or I'll Kill you personally Right now." Phoenix said to Zero. "It's a c, not a k." Zero did mouth to mouth and Moon woke up, gasping and coughing. "I will end you- but since you saved me... Your life is spared." Moon said waking up. Moon was mad at Zero for what she did with the key. But violence isn't the answer. "Don't ever do that again. I could've died." , "Sorry I just thought of it!" Zero said, helping Moon up. Moon growled and turned around seeing dusk "EW BRO WHERE'S YOUR SHIRT-" She said covering her eyes. "Do you want to live or what? I saved you!" Moon noticed the cloth wrapped around her leg. "Oh sorry-", "Here-" Eagle said, flying down, turning into his human form giving dusk his hoodie. "There's no shirt underneath-", "Just put the hoodie on-" Eagle said as Dusk rolled his eyes. Moon, still wounded, needed to be checked by someone other than Zero... so they got out of the cave quickly. "And the piggyback ride is over!" Dusk said, putting Moon down. "I want to stay on and if I want to I get to!" , "I need a break.", "Are you guys a couple?" Zero had asked Moon and Dusk. They froze, then Dusk answered, "No, She doesn't like me.", "I-", "Want to play an ice breaker? For a break!" Everyone nodded. Zero asked the first question "My question is how old are you? I'm 15, in my 3rd year of high school" Zero said, sitting down. Moon got up and answered, "I'm 14.", "you're the same age as me!" Dusk said, "Same!" Phoenix said, "How about you, Eagle?" She asked. "I'm 13", "Anyways, next question!" It was Phoenix's turn. "Uh- I don't know what to ask? I guess your favorite color?.. Mine is orange! I'm planning on dying my hair orange and black. Right now it's naturally red. I'm a red/orange head.." Phoenix said sorrowfully. Moon got up, "Well, My favorite color is—", "O.M.G- That's so cool! Mine is sky blue!" Zero cut Moon off. "I'm going too-" Dusk pulled Moon back. "I'm going to say mine!" Dusk said as Moon growled. "Mine is dusty blue," Moon said, clearly mad. "Mine is gray!" , "Yuck gray is the color of smoke, cat litter, dark clouds, ashes, Forks, and knives. That's the scariest color EVER." Phoenix said."You don't have to be so rude- jeez. Nobody judged your favorite color!", "They could've! Not my problem" Phoenix told Moon, "Nobody did because they aren't rude!" Moon rolled her eyes. "Gray isn't all destroyed by the way!" , "Well I'm rude!" Phoenix said getting up. "I guess we should start walking now.." Zero said. "Cool style!" Zero whispered to Phoenix.
