My name is Luna Slate and I live with the two most wonderful girls in the world. Isabella, whom we call Bella, and Dawn. They've lived with me since all of our parents died.
We have no idea what happened to Bella and Dawns parents. We have asked everyone in town what happened so many times, but they refuse to answer any of our questions!! It makes me so frustrated I just want to scream!!! We don't know what happened to them, but I do remember some of what happened to my own parents.
Me and my mother were at home alone when we heard a noise from the foyer. She told me to stay upstairs while she checked it out, but being my curious self I soon followed her. What I saw I'm still not sure I believe. She had pulled a dagger from a hidden pocket in her black combat boots and was fighting some sort of, well, beast! My eyes had grown wide with fear and without realizing it I had wondered out into the open. My mother screamed as it scratched her and she dropped the only weapon she had. I just stared back in horror, paralyzed with fear and that's when she saw me. She immediately ran to me, but in doing so, she had backed herself into a corner. The thing she had been fighting only moments before was towering over us. I was so scared being only three i started to wail a heart wrenching sob. As it brought it's mighty claws up to kill us, my father jumped in out of nowhere saving us. He was able to guide that thing out of the house, past the creaky old well and swing set, through the once protective yellow line and into the thick glossy trees of the woods just outside our house. My mother went after him. The only thing was, they never came back. I still believe they are out there, somewhere.
