The knocker was stiff and hard.I hit it against the door and it only took a few moments to open revealing a rather tired looking Margo.Her sandy blonde hair tugged back into a messy bun at the back of her head.Her hair very much resembled her sisters,Margo was 4 years younger than me.As a child Margo liked completely different things to me and Hadley.She just didn't get us at all but she was nice to be around.Margo grinned at me,though her eyes couldn't mask the sleepiness.

"Is a bad time?",I said my voice quiet.

"No,no not at all.Its nice to see you Leah! congratulations with the Luna thing.",she said smiling.

I felt my eyes well up."I need to know Margo",her smile faded.then she nodded once and walked me into the front room.

I took a seat on the sofa and looked at the stairs to where aunt lizzie walked down.Aunt lizzie also looked tired her blonde hair now had specks of grey in it and slight wrinkles around her eyes.Her eyes lit up when she saw me.

"Is Daniel in bed?",Margo asked her mother.I frowned at the new name.Aunt liz nodded and placed a hand on Margo's shoulder."give us some time.", She said and with that Margo picked up her bag and walked out leaving me and aunt liz in the room alone.As soon as Margo left aunt liz came over and enveloped me in a hug were I was free to let my tears fall.I sobbed on aunt liz's shoulder for a bit until she took me at arms length and studied my face.She then took her finger and pushed away my tears.

I shook my head,"what happened aunt liz?,what happened.?",my voice was weak.

She took my hands in hers and sighed."Hadley was never a strong girl.She was extremely shy and she was only smiling when she was with you,you girls were really two birds of a feather.",She then frowned,thinking of something."come to think of it,I only have photos of you and Hadley none of her on her own.",she closed her eyes and took a deep breath "anyways,When you left Hadley closed up.",I felt a pang of guilt.I thought back to our constant phone calls that had mysteriously stopped a year ago.

"I knew some girls had been getting to her but she never told me,I only knew because Luke said he'd seen them.He did his best to stop it but it never really went away.",She took another long breath.

"last year Hadley begged me to let her go to a house party.I let her,thinking maybe it would be away of her opening up.When she got there however,The girls cornered her saying she was a tramp and a slut.Hadley ran into the woods in tears.She was sat under a tree when it happened.A rouge found its self into our land and raped my poor girl.",I felt a small tear roll down my face.

"She got pregnant shortly after and the abuse kept coming.Hadley didn't look after herself,I think she was trying to persuade herself that it didn't happen.I tried to get her to eat properly for her own and the baby's sake.",I could see aunt liz had closed her eyes and was nibbling her bottom lip.

"she died giving birth to Daniel last year." she opened her eyes and looked at me.",he is a very beautiful boy,Leah and I know you will keep him safe as his Luna."

I felt those dreaded tears again and held aunt liz in my arms."would you like to see him?" She asked me through our hug.

I pulled back,"I would like that very much",I whispered.

Aunt liz walked me upstairs and into a little room.The room was painted yellow but it had tree branches and monkeys also painted on the walls.There was a oak wardrobe and an oak toy box.In the corner of the room was a wooden cradle,I walked over to the cradle and lied in it was a small, pale baby.He reminded me of his mom with his little nose and long lashes.I do so love baby's and children and there soft sweet innocence.I brought my hand down to gently stroke the baby's soft check,carful not to wake him.

I turned back around to face aunt liz who was watching from the corner.
"Is she buried?",I asked.Aunt liz smiled and nodded."may I go visit?".

She now walked over to me ,"off course you may my dear",she said holding my head up.

"I have missed you so,Leah",she said kissing my forehead.

"And I u" I said.With that I went downstairs and put my shoes on.

"Leah?" I turned to see aunt liz holding a red rose.

"don't forget the flower."
