Chapter 10: Whispers In The Dark.

Luna's eyes lit up as she saw Ethan and Lyra walking towards her. She sprinted towards them, throwing her arms around Lyra in a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry, Lyra! I should have been more careful!"

She exclaimed, tears of relief streaming down her face.

Lyra hugged her back, equally apologetic.

"No, Luna, I'm the one who's sorry! I shouldn't have wandered off like that!"

The two girls held each other tightly, both knowing that this might be their last moment together.

Ethan's smile was like a warm hug, enveloping Lyra and Luna in a sense of safety and comfort. He called out to his driver, and the sleek black limousine glided to a stop before them.

The door swung open, and Ethan gestured for the girls to enter. Lyra's eyes widened as she stepped inside, her gaze drinking in the luxurious interior. The plush seats were like clouds, soft and inviting, and the entertainment system looked like something out of a movie.

Luna followed close behind, her eyes shining with excitement. She had never been in a limousine before, and she couldn't believe the opulence that surrounded her. The two girls settled into the seats, feeling like royalty as the door closed behind them.

Ethan joined them, his presence filling the space with warmth and comfort. He smiled at Lyra, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

"Make yourselves at home, girls. We'll be at my place soon."

Lyra couldn't help but explore the limousine's amenities. She fiddled with the entertainment system, marveling at the movies and music at her fingertips. Luna joined in, and the two girls giggled and chattered like old friends.

As the limousine glided through the city, Lyra felt like she was in a dream. She had never experienced anything like this before, and she couldn't believe the luxury that surrounded her. Ethan watched her, his heart swelling with happiness. He was glad to see Lyra so carefree and joyful.

As they drove through the city, Lyra regaled Ethan with stories of her adventures with Luna - the games they played, the places they visited, and the laughter they shared. Ethan listened with a warm smile, happy to see Lyra so carefree and joyful.

When they arrived at Ethan's mansion, he told Luna to head home and prepare for school the next day. Luna hesitated, wanting to stay with her new friend, but Ethan's firm but gentle tone brooked no argument. She bid Lyra a tearful farewell, promising to never forget their time together.

As Luna departed, Ethan turned to Lyra and said,

"I'm glad you had a great time with Luna, but please, never roam around the city alone again. It's not safe, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

Lyra nodded solemnly, still buzzing from her exciting day out.

Ethan smiled and put a protective arm around her shoulders.

"Let's get you settled in, and then we'll have some dinner. I want to hear more about your adventures with Luna."

Lyra smiled up at him, feeling grateful for this kind and caring guardian.

As they entered the mansion, Lyra felt a sense of wonder and excitement. She knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in her life, and she was eager to explore this new world with Ethan by her side.

Lyra's expression turned serious as she recounted her encounter with the high school girls.

"Ethan, I saw something strange on my way to meet Luna. There were these girls, fighting and screaming at each other. I tried to intervene and separate them, but they wouldn't listen."
