"Luna!", came a voice as Luna was smothered by two arms and globs of hair. Rosmany. She was the eldest daughter, and Luna's eldest sister. "We thought we'd lost you too.", she wailed through tears. She was just eleven, but Rosmany was a leader here in their kingdom, and never had she shown emotion in such a display.
"Too?'' Luna asked confused.
Rosmany looked to her mother and Luna looked as well. Her mother's eyes were not bright anymore, they were sullen and dull. She looked horridly tired now.
"Come with me, Luna." Rosmany spoke as a soldier would to another.
Luna followed her sister into the warriors chambers. A place where Luna had never been allowed to enter. She stayed quiet. They eventually arrived at a dark wooden door at the end of a vacant hall, then Rosmany opened the door.
Inside lay a body resting on a table covered by a sheet.
"Atlis?" Sorrow filled Luna as she quickly ran to the table and pulled away the sheet. But it was not Atlis under the sheet. The body on the table belonged to Luna's younger sister.
"Isabella?" Her voice caught in her throat and tears began to fill her eyes. Isabella wasn't just her younger sister, but the youngest of all her siblings. She was only four.
"What happened to her?! Who did this?!" She cried.
Rosmany looked at her pained until she forced out a name. "Atlis." She said and closed her eyes as a tear fell. 'Atlis?' Luna thought, 'He love Isabella! He would never! This isn't possible!' But as Luna thought of the rage she had seen in his eyes, her mother words, and the look on her sisters face, she began to see this truth. Rosmany had never lied to her and today she had told her that her brother, her best friend, has killed her little sister.
"Where is Atlis?" She asked in a strange clam.
"He is waiting for father to come home to face his punishment for what he's done."
"Where is Atlis?" She asked again.
"He is in the lower dungeons."
"Take me to him."
Without another word Rosmany lead Luna away. She couldn't recall the path that they took to get there, but once they were at the entrance of the dungeons, she could hear muffled screams from beyond.
