Moon Child (Moon Child Series Book 1)

Chapter 16: He fed you WHAT?

Jonah and Ryan became friends very quickly. We all learned to get used to his gift, and it all turned out great.

Alex had indeed asked Ashton out, and they went out for sushi yesterday. It was great until Ashton got food poisoning and was puking up a storm in the woman's restroom. Alex was so sweet though that he took her home, and stayed there the whole night while she was sick. It was so sweet. Rhea and I of course, couldn't stay there while that was going on so we ended up going to Julie's dorm.

Julie hadn't gotten a new roommate, so we had the whole room to ourselves.

This is how it all went down:

We sat down on her floor, in a circle. We talked about how to defeat Jacob, and Julie told us that it was going to be here before we know it, and we must prepare.

We decided to go out into the woods.

As we were walking through the forest, Rhea got a vision. She was clutching her head in pain, and started groaning in agony. Then, her eyes had snapped open and she was back to reality.

"He said that he is going to come on the sunset of the equinox, and strike the forest first. He said that the trees will burn, giving him more power."

Julie's eyes started to glow as she looked away. The ground started to freeze below us, and I slipped an fell onto Rhea. We tumbled over, and looked up at Julie.

"Every time something dies around him, it makes him stronger. That power immediately goes to him. It's a charm that he had an old woman gifted with spell casting. She died last year. Her power was amazing, you have no idea. He took advantage of her. Now, his power grows constantly. Those trees are just what he needs." Her face went stone hard and she advanced towards the heart of the forest. "Let's go train girls."

We worked until we were practically falling on the floor in agony. Julie didn't seem to tire though. Talking about her father gave her an amazing burst of anger that somehow made her just want to freeze the first thing she sees.

It was a little scary.

Also, Raven's brother tracked down three very powerful nomads. Some of the most powerful in the world, until they disappeared. Once they heard we returned, they wanted to help. We were meant to meat them tomorrow.

Now, Ryan, Jonah, Ashton, Rhea and I were wating outside of the school, waiting for Matthew's car to come drop him off. He had gone to see some guru that said he could help his blindness. We didn't hear anything else, but we are still excited to see Matthew.

It is going to be different now that he's blind. We wont be able to see the shapes the clouds make, or watch chick flicks until we are falling asleep on my bed, or go to the park and feed those little cute ducklings and argue which one is cuter. We wont be able to any of that, and I have no one but myself to blame.

Except Jacob Lee.

That man was so... I can't even describe him! He really is pure evil.

Everything he has done, has made a little part of me die inside. It is killing me to know that he does all this stuff to people and yet he still gets away with it. Why would anyone ever want to follow him?

Oh ya, money.

It's really sad that the people in my own nation are in such poverty that they decide to join a group of people who kill, kill, kill and do nothing else. A group who is going against their leaders!

I lost my train of thought as a black Cadillac drove up to the front of the school. A man with dark shades and sunglasses came out of the front seat and came around to the other side to open the door for his passenger.
