The Moon And His Star

Innocence

"I need to get back to london luna's waiting for me Strange." Jamila told the sorceror. He looked at her raising his left eyebrow. "Thats Uncle Strange to you." He said tilting his head a little bit with the hint of a smirk on his lips.

"Just cause you knew my mum for a couple years doesnt make us related." Jamila smart mouthed him smirking to herself. "Jamila khaleel. That makes me very upset." Stephen told her pointing to his heart.

"Sorry Uncle Strange. But i've really got to go now mummy duties and all that. Take care of yourself and stay out of trouble." Jamila told him as she formed a portal back to a secluded part of london.

"You too kiddo. Stay safe and keep luna safe too." Stephen said. "Roger that boss." Jamila said as she stepped through the portal and waved at him before the portal closed.

She took a deep breath before walking back home.

Her dark locks were flying all over the place because the strong london winds. It was night time, But jamila feared nothing. Stephen taught her not to fear otherwise people would walk all over her.

She smiled as she saw her apartment building and took a deep breath before walking to the tall building. She walked to the elevator that stunk of sweat and pressed the button to her floor.

She tapped her foot as she looked down at her phone to check the time. 21:00pm

Jamila hoped luna would be asleep by the time she got back. Luna had a bad habit of staying up all night and she had nursery the next day.

The elevator dinged and opened up to her floor. It was a dark empty hallway only lit up by a few dull lights. Jamila and luna would joke that it was haunted when ever they came home from a day out.

Then they would chuckle and run into the apartment. Making sure to get away from those silly cupcake eating ghosts.

Jamila chuckled as she remembered the memory. It was just a funny little game they played.

She stood in front of her door and pulled out her keys but before she unlocked the door she could hear small shuffling and a male voice call out "luna where are you?"

Jamila grinned widely as she unlocked her door.

Steven Grant her best friend and Co worker was looking a little worried.

"O-oh hello Mila." Steven said calling her by her nickname. "Hi steven. Was she trouble?" Jamila asked him.

"She was well behaved, but i cant seem to find her?" He said scratching his head as he looked around the room.

Jamila chuckled "were you two playing hide and seek?" She asked.

"Yea. She wanted to play a game before bedtime." Steven told her. "Oh no she just wanted to trick you so she wouldn't have to go bed." Jamila said as she went to her room and checked under her bed.

Luna was lying on her stomach under the bed covering her eyes with her hands and a huge grin on her face.

"Well looky there." Steven said as he sighed with relief. "Come on miss monkey." Jamila said as luna crawled out.

Jamila held her before she turned to steven. "Thank you so much for taking care of her."

"Oh dont worry about it. I mean what are friends for 'ey?" Steven said.

Jamila chuckled. "Would you like to stay for tea?" She asked him.

Steven was thinking about it when luna suddenly spoke up.

"Yay! Stay! Stay!" She squealed.

Steven and Jamila chuckled. "I guess a cup of tea wont hurt." He said.
