Escape from Home

Chapter 4

Phil glanced at Luna- who was now Kathrine- and smiled

"Are you all related?" he asked, smile now fading. Pat smiled and practically bowed before I could speak

"Yeah!" she answered "Kattie is adopted though,"

"Interesting..." Phil muttered

"You're not going to kidnap us right?"

"No," He looked at each and every one of us "I'm not here to take you, I was-" he glanced at Pat "-that would've been easy," I saw Pat squirm away from his gaze and slipping behind me. Phil's eyes locked up to my brown eyes

"So your..leaving?"

"I guess so," he turned, tossing back a wave to us "Bye Bye!" and walked off to the clearing. Pat peeked from behind me cautiously before revealing herself fully

"He scared me," Pat exclaimed what I thought was obvious "I hope he doesn't come back," she closed her eyes, sighed, and opened them back up to sit down next to Luna. I responded,

"He better not," I looked away from Pat and at the spot Phil use to be at before changing to Luna who said,

"Girls with wings..."

"Yeah," I responded with confusion hiding itself among my voice "And what's the point if you can't fly?" Luna shrugged lightly

"Maybe she doesn't know how to...?" she suggested softly.

I nodded and replied,

"That is a good reason I guess," I looked over to Pat who was crossing her arms

"Well, I hope she isn't dangerous," she said, looking down at her bare, tanned feet. I sighed, grabbing the bag of berries I tossed to Luna and grabbed out one of the small, blue berries and popped it into my mouth. I sat down next to Luna, today gave me a bunch of questions I doubted would be answered. In other words: It was a long day.
