A Life I Never Knew

Chapter 15

Luna Pov

"Wow.. it wasn't a dream" I say aloud as I sit myself up in the bed after having some of the best sleep of my life.

It's the first night I've been here with my father and brothers. While I was asleep I dreamed that my real family came and took me to a castle like house and treated me to delicious food.

Waking up to all that being real I nearly cried. I can't believe I have a father and so many brothers even grandparents!

"Ah there was another person a tall man with jet black hair and sparkling blue eyes.. I wonder who he was"? I thought about how he comforted me and carried me to my room. He was oddly gentle but scary looking just like my father and brothers.

"Is everyone here like that"? I thought to myself again.

Knock Knock Knock

I couldn't help but jump at the sudden sound of someone knocking on the door. I was anxious I didn't want them waiting to long so I tried to get out of bed to open it.

"Ah"! I yelped in pain my sudden movements caused the wounds on my legs to ache. My face contorted into an ugly expression and then the door opened.

"Oh my goodness nipotino" the older lady from before came rushing to my bedside guiding me back on to the bed.

"You shouldn't get up on her own yet" she said I can see the worry and care on her face as she gently covered my legs with the blanket.

I stared at her and watched her movements she was careful and gentle something I was unfamiliar with. I wanted to talk to her but I was scared to speak first.

"My name is Marcia Russo I am your nonna" she said with a bright smile. She was beautiful her smile was so dazzling that I thought I was staring at the sun again.

"N-nice to to meet you I'm L-luna" I slapped myself for stuttering like a fool. I cant help it especially when I talk to another person.

"You are so beautiful Luna I have always wanted to meet you everyone is so happy that you're home" she said.

"r-really"? I timidly asked are they really happy to have me?

"Of course! Now how about some breakfast after we get you cleaned up"? she asked excitedly.

"I-I clean myself" I said looking down afraid she would get angry for me talking back.

"If that's what you want but I'll be here if you need me. When you are done I can show you to the kitchen okay"? she said with a hint of disappoint in her voice I felt bad I think she just wants to help.

"Y-you can fix my hair.. I don't know how to do it well" I said. I was shocked at myself it came out before I had the chance to think properly.

" I'd love to bambina" she said with a smile her smile is really pretty and it warms my heart.

After cleaning myself I realized that I only had the same tattered clothes. "Would it be proper of me to sit with them with these dirty clothes" I thought but I pushed it aside and put on the clothes anyway.

"Maybe I don't deserve nice clothes still" it crossed my mind.

"Bambina are you alright"? she asked from the other side of the door. I came out and her expression was odd she looked me over from head to toe.

"We have some clothes for you bambina you can change and give your old clothes to me" she said as she stretched out her hands that held a really nice pair of brand new clothes.

For a moment I was extremely happy to see these clothes. I've never had new clothes before I've always worn clothes until I burst out of them. Robbie would find clothes from outside and bring them back home sometimes they would smell really bad and be covered in stains.
