Moon Child (Moon Child Series Book 1)

Chapter 11: I only needed one Ashton

Ashton grasped my hand and firmly pulled me through the enterance.

"No... Ashton I can't! You can't make me!" I wailed, begging her to let me go.

She smirked at me and with one swift movement, pulled me onto her shoulder. Curse her incredible strength! I pounded my pale fists into her back as she carried me onto the plane.

Ashton plopped me down in our first class seats and I frowned up at her. She completely ignored me and put our suitcases into the overhead bins. I took my Ipod out of my new backpack Bridget got me for Christmas and put on Someone Like You by Adele.

After her death, everyone went into a deep funk. We barely talked, ate very little, and went straight home after curfew. Headmistress chose to keep the other students clueless by saying the she tripped and hit her head on a rock, causing her to bleed to death.

Bullsh*t.

The teachers and staff were more weary of where we went after classes, they added a force-field barrier around the school, and canceled all after school classes that involved going into the gifted world. Like Lipchok, a game that was played in the gifted world that no one on earth heard about it. No student was alowed into the gifted world anymore. At all. Except Ashton, Rhea and I of course. We actually had our first ever gifted council meeting. We had to sit in on it, only give opinions if needed, and learn how to behave in front of the council.

Anyway, we also had been practicing how to make the beam that will defeat the evil. Everytime we try to do it though, it glows for a little, the fizzes out. We can never keep it going. We have to remove our powers from our bodies and join them together, thus creating the beam. It's harder than it sounds. But it doesn't sound that easy anyway.

I also showed Rhea and Ashton Julie's note. We had decided that it was best to confront Madame Icianic about it, since she must know something about Julie's father. But when we asked her, she mearly said that she wasn't in contact with him. Then she just sent us away. After that we did a little research. We found out that his name was Jacob Lee; a war vetran who died in 1998. No one found his body. We were going to give up after that, until I came accross something while reading the journal. It said that there was a person named Lord Jacob who ran around doing the evil's dirty work for twenty years before it attacked. A year before it did, Jacob managed to overthrow it. Apperantly, there is an army of people who joined the evil force and created an army for it. Jacob gained the army's trust and together they put Jacob in charge of the evil force. The queen spoke of him swallowing it, and now he was a human version of the evil. He however hid from view and had his army fight for him when attacking our relm. He became weak after, but he would return.

He was the face I had seen in my vision. Lord Jacob Lee, the new bane of my exhistance.

Ashton poked me, I must have fallen asleep, "Natalia, wake up, we're here. Welcome to Willow County."

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and looked out the plane window. Outside was a beautiful landscape that I could've only imagined. Lush trees were all over and tiny cottages peaked out from the clearings. I gasped, this was the most gorgeous place I've ever seen.

We landed and got into one of the taxi's at the airport. The airport was quite small though, d*nm this whole place was small!

Sitting in the taxi, my legs were shaking uncontrollably and my head was wipping around nervously. What if her parents didn't like me? Did they know about what Ashton was? Who we were? What we were?

"Natalia," Ashton sighed, sensing my nervousness, "they are going to love you don't worry."

"Do they know about us?" I whispered, not really trusting my voice.

Ashton chuckled, "Ya, Headmistress told all the freshmen parents two weeks ago. Remember..." She stopped realizing that no, I didn't remember because I didn't have any family to tell.

She gulped and I rolled my eyes, "It's ok Ashton. I'm fine."

We soon pulled into the driveway of the biggest house I've ever seen. It's three stories and had white walls and blue shutters. We were only there for five seconds before a fourty-year old version of Ashton came running out.

"ASHTON!!!!!" she squealed.

Ashton squealed and the embraced eachother warmly.

Great I only needed one Ashton!
