The Thestral

In To The Woods

Luna woke up early that day, she wanted to take a walk in the wood. It was her favorite place. Everything was so calm, and peaceful there. She tiptoed down stairs but when she got there her
mother Sarah was there.

Where are you going she asked?
In to the woods, it's so wonderful there Luna said dreamily.
Be back in two hours, and bring your bow in case there's a Thestral Sarah said warningly.
They are kind creatures, just protective, they won't hurt anyone said Luna persistently.

And then she headed out the door. When Luna got in to the woods she went to her favorite place. An old hollow tree. Her long blonde hair blew in the wind, she had crystal bright blue eyes, and a soft gentle touch. She slowly climbed in to the tree and climbed to the top. I can see forever she thought. She didn't notice but her little sister followed her.

Luna, what are you doing up there she shouted?!
What are you doing here Catharine?
I wanted to see what you were up to she said with a smile.
Well hold on, I'll be right down.
And Luna slid down the tree.
I need to take you home said Luna irritated.
Fine..
After Luna took Catharine home she ran back for the time she lost talking to Catharine.
She just kept running, it was a beautiful morning. But she saw what she least expected, a Thestral walked out on to the path, she stopped and slowly backed away. The Thestral walked cautiously away. Luna was a curious girl, so she followed. Keeping her distance the Thestral stared at her and she looked back in to its eyes. Luna was worried it would hurt her.
