Fangs and Feathers

Chapter 5

Luna's POV

"Ugh!" I sighed.

"What?"

I showed Lydia the latest text from Darian: another flirty remark.

"A lot of girls would be dying to get love from Darian like you. Why don't you just give him a chance?"

"Let's just forget about it for now, Jaito might need help or something."

Jaito POV

Surara screams from the living room, and given her disturbing nightmare, I run.

I find her hiding under the couch in a pitiful effort to conceal her purple pigtails and blue skin. Might as well hide a candy cane in a sandbox.

I notice that there's a faint knocking sound at the front door.

Crap, I think the girls! "Hide!" I whisper hoarsely.

The door opens, and Luna peers in. "Jaito!" she smiles.

"Uh, hi!" I discreetly motion for Sura to E-S-C-A-

"Omigod!"

I turn abruptly to notice Lydia looking under the sofa, revealing a small, shivering Sura, still in her Tweety Bird pajamas.

"Aw,"Luna coos."Poor girl! Jaito! Is she..?"

"NO!!" I scream. "She's my adopted sister!! God, no!!"

"Ewww!" shrieked Sura, then she giggled.

"I'm Sura," she murmurs softly.

"Awwwww!"

"Aw nothin b@#%@ I'm fifteen!"

The look on their faces...

Wait, a sudden voice in me said. Sura's dream...
