Amongst the ranks

Chapter 3-Nix

Chapter 3

 Luna gives me a very nice wake up call by sitting on my face and almost suffocating me. I quickly move Luna off of my face before I inhale more cat hair. I sit up, and force my self to cough to allow myself to get some cat hair out of my air way. 

 "Thank you for that wonderful wake up" I groan as I rub my eyes I move my neck around in a circle, and hear it crack multiple times.Sighing I rub my neck and get out of the bed. I pull down my comforter on the bed and smooth it out. I walk over to my desk, grab my clothes I laid out before I went to bed. 

 I walk into the hallway, and into the bathroom closet to me. I quickly take a shower, and get out as fast as I can. I put on my purple off the shoulders sweater, and tuck it into my black body-con skirt. I put my black leather heeled booties and do my make-up. I do my usual make up which is eyeliner, mascara and light purple eyeshadow. 

 I walk out of the bathroom to see my mom coming out of her room. She's already all set to leave for Vite. Since she is one of the rank leaders she has to show up to the beginning of the year ceremony. 

 "Morning, mother" I greet her 

 "Good morning, Nix" My mother says in her very calm voice 

 "How are you" She asks 

 "Excited, but nervous" I state simply "and you"I ask 

 "I'm excited for you to go back to another great year of school, but sad that you will be leaving" My mother says 

 "don't worry, I'll be fine" I reassure her My mother doesn't say anything, instead she just smiles at me. I've never really payed attention to my mothers features, I've always spent my time with my dad. Now that I look at her, I can see why she wears her all purple hair the way her does, she always has it in an updo. It frames her face nicely. She has subtle make-up, with very rosy lips. Her eyes are more slender than mine or my fathers, hers are what I would describe as cat like. My dads are more round and always seem like they're smiling. Mine are a mix of both, they're certainly much more slender than my dads but they look like I'm always smiling like his.

 "what's the matter" She asks 

 "Nothing, I was just observing" I reply She nods, and begins to walk down the stairs. She stops midway and turns around.

"Your father should be awake in a few minutes" she informs me I nod. 

I walk back into my room and brush my hair, and blow dry it. After it is dried I style it normally. A hair flip that goes over my shoulders and that starts at a side part. 

 "Starlight, I came for your bags" My dad says standing at my door way

"I'll help you" I say as I get up from my seat

"No don't, you just make sure Luna is in her carrier" My dad says I groan knowing what is going to happen next. My dad chuckles, as if he was proud of himself. 

As he closes the door I walk over to the corner of my room and get my cat carrier. Almost immediately after touching the carrier, Luna begins to hiss.I open the carrier and move closer to her.

"Luna, can you please get in here" I ask Luna hisses as a response. I groan.

"Luna, if you don't cooperate I will have to use magic" I state Luna still refuses. I sigh, and exhale deeply. I raise my right hand at Luna. I concentrate and stop blinking. A faint purple looking ray comes out from my hand and swirls around Luna. Small silver glitters float around Luna's eyes and her eyes begin to look droopy. The grey cats eyes begin to shut close as she falls to the floor, asleep. I pick her up gently to not wake her and set her in her carrier. I close the door and walk downstairs.
