Sweet Little Luna

Prologue

" Deep in the meadow
Under the willow
A bed of grass
A soft green pillow
Lay down your head
And close your eyes " – Katniss Everdeen (Rue's Lullaby)

"Mommy? Can you spend time with me tonight?" A little girl asked, tugging on the skirt of her adoptive mother's dress in an attempt to catch her attention. Looking down from the small talk she was having with another female, the white haired adult nodded at her child. "Of course, I will, Madison... What do you want me to do with you?" She knelt down to her adopted daughter's height, a gentle smile on her lips. "Umm..." The little girl thought for a moment before coming to her decision. "Can we play dolls?" She was a bit hesitant asking such a thing, but her mother just nodded once again. "Alright, dolls, it is.." She caressed her child's cheek for a moment before turning to the other adult female. "I'll see you tomorrow, Elisa."

"Alright then. Have a good evening, Alexandra." Elisa nodded lightly, calmly walking out the door and back to her humble home.

The brunette child gazed up at her mother, a light smile on her face. "Shall we then?" The white haired lass playfully poked her daughter's cheek, earning a giggle from her. "Mhmm..." She nodded, walking to her room before grabbing two small dolls and returning to her awaiting mother. After handing over a doll to Alexandra, the two began their usual mother and daughter bonding time, having fun with the small, stuffed toys and having some conversations after or during playing.

"Mommy?" Madison soon put down her doll, gazing up at her mother with her innocent blue orbs. "What is it, darling?" Alexandra inquired with her usual soothing tone. "Can I ask you something?" The ten year old fiddled with her fingers a bit, a bit nervous on asking her next question. "Anything, my child, go on.." Her adoptive mother caressed her cheek for reassurance. "How did you and Daddy meet?" She questioned after working up the courage to ask. This did earn a surprised look from the white haired female, but she decided to answer. "Well, my dear... I'll tell you, but just a little bit. Understand?" The question did earn a nod from the ten year old in reply. Alexandra had Madison sit beside her while she told the story.

"It all started when you were just a small baby..."
