Secrets - District3/GMD3

Chapter 3

"Secrets are the stories we keep to ourselves"

"just go for 3/3" Luna laughed into the computer screen, seeing a blurred face in the computer screen. Luna squinted her eyes trying to focus in on the person on the screen, from what she could tell it was a girl, with black hair.  

"If I was her, I would" A laughter erupting from the person, Luna laughing along too.

Luna's eyes shot open, Dans hand still on her lap. His head spun round to her, 

"Hey baby are you ok?" Dan asked, concerned. Luna gulped a quick nod in reply. Her mouth was dry again and tight. She settled back into the chair, replaying the voice from the computer screen.

Who was it? Why did their voice sound so familiar? And why did it leave her with a twinge of sadness, like she missed the person. So many questions swirling around in her head, she hadn't even realised that they had arrived at Dans parents house.

"We are here," dan chirped, Luna smiled, it was clear Dan missed his family and friends.

Ever since he moved up to Scotland with her when she was fifteen. Dan was 19 when he moved, she can't remember much of it. Only from the stories Dan would tell her, the stories Luna would laugh and nod along to pretending she remembered.

Luna was brought back out of her thoughts as Dans door slammed shut making her jump, she grabbed her bag sliding her book deeper into her bag. As she got out the cold hair hit her, giving her a shock.

Dan closed the boot picking up their overnight bags, as they walked up to the large Victorian mansion.

"Welcome to Ferrari-lane manor" Dan chuckled, making a small smile play on Luna's lips. She was nervous, she hadn't seen his family in so long. 

They rang the doorbell, everything Luna imagined an old/rusty chime the large brown door opened revealing a Victorian styled hall, a long corridor leading into darkness a bridge of two stairs at each side of the room meeting in the middle, with another set if stairs leading down another corridor. As both Luna and Dan stepped inside, Luna analysed her surrounding on her right were two large mahogany sliding doors, with gold handles. The lounge she guessed. On her left a small mahogany door with the same gold handle, an office, from what she remembered from dans stories, his family gained great inheritance through generations.

It blew Luna's mind that this was where Dan had grown up. It was so posh and ancient but antique. Luna stared at the large brown wooden table in the middle of the hall, a vase of roses sat in the middle on a peach/golden table cloth.

"Daaan!" Was what brought Luna out of her train of thought, she spun to see a women golden brown curly locks, deep brown eyes. A caring smile as she embraced Dan in a hug, Luna studied her features, 

"Hi Mum," He smiled, showing his pearly white teeth, "Mum, this-" he stopped mid-sentence turning to face her taking her hand, "is Luna, you remember."

"Of course, hello sweetie," she opened her arms for a hug, she accepted, "It's, um it's nice to see you again" the smile on her face uncertain.

"Come and I will show you to your rooms."

Rooms? Luna thought, her and Dan wouldn't be sleeping together? A knot forming her stomach.
