That night Luna didn't sleep a wink. She was thinking about Arrowin.
What if she gets caught?
Or hurt?
I need to protect her, if she gets caught they will kill her she whispered to her self.
The next morning she wrote a note saying she was going to Peters then they were going to explore the woods again. She ran to Peter's house and got him and they set off.
When they got to see Arrowin, Luna told her she needed to protect her. Arrowin nodded. But we brought you some oats and rabbits said Peter. Arrowin did her screech of excitement. But then there was a rustle in the bushes beside them.Go,go, said Peter!
And then it jumped out and started running. It was Luna's sister Catharine.
Catharine, wait, please let me explain shouted Luna.
Catharine slowed down.
What are you doing with that, that, beast, she yelled.
This will be a lot to take in but just listen, she is vary kind and doesn't want to hurt anyone exclaimed Luna!
How do you know that said Catharine?
Because, because, I can understand her, Arrowin said I have a rare gift, said Luna.
Arrowin asked Catharine?
Yes, that's her name.
Cat, please don't tell anyone, they will kill her pleaded Luna.
I.. I, don't know, is she dangerous?
Not at all, come pet her said Luna smiling.
Catharine slowly walked up to her, and put her hand out. Arrowin sniffed it and nudged it.
Arrowin screeched softly. It made Catharine jump a little.
She wants to know if you want to ride her, translated Luna.
Um, only if you come with, and hold on to me, squeaked Catharine.
Arrowin nodded and kneeled down.
And the girls hopped on and they took off.
Catharine closed her eyes, but slowly opened them once they got in the air.
Th.... this is amazing, shouted Catharine.
Luna smiled and Arrowin flew gracefully. Once they landed Catherine said she wouldn't tell anyone.
Ok Cat, time for you to go home, mom will be wondering where you are.
Okay she said sadly.
Then Luna knew she needed to find a place for Arrowin, anyone could of followed her there.
