The Red Moon Child

Chapter One

I was sitting in Mr. Valles office waiting for him to return from his meeting . Mr.Valle runs the foster home for girls since I was taken from my last home I'm back here, the reason for that is another story . Mr. Valle was about 5'9 not to thin rather had a few muscles on him but not to muscular, he had hazel eyes and his brown hair was messy and he always had some stubbles on his jaw line and bags under his eyes. He said to meet him in here at 4:30 I been sitting here since 4:15 and it is almost 5:30 . Just as I was about to get up to head back to my room Mr. Valle, a man, and a woman walked in. The woman was a few inches taller than me about 5'6 I think she had blonde hair cut into a short Bob and forest green eyes and she was very slim. The man was about 6" all in all he was tall I look like a little kid to him, his hair was cut short with a messy look to it too you could see were he ran his fingers through his hair and his eyes was the very light shade of brown and he was kind of built. "Ah Lunnah, I would like you to meet Mr. And Mrs. Phillips." He said . I got up and nodded at them and shook their hands, . They looked at me like they were waiting for me to say some thing, so I looked over towards Mr. Valle. He then said " oh forgive me, but she hasn't spoken in six years. We've tried every thing but she's selective mutism."

"well it's nice to meet you Lunnah, I'm John and this is my wife Juells." Mr.Phillips said and he looked towards his wife. I shook their hands and nodded, as if agreeing . Mr.valle then spoke up and said " Lunnah you will be going to stay with Mr. And Mrs. Phillips till you graduate high school . I looked at him with a shocked face . "So can you go and gather your things and you will be off on your way ."Mr. Valle said . I just looked down and nodded, and went up stairs to pack my bags. You would think that I'd have a lot from moving so much, but I really don't .

When I came down stairs Mr. and Mrs. Phillips was out side waiting for me, i then bid my good byes to everyone and got into the car. We pulled out of the group home I looked back, this would probably be the last time I would ever see this place. Mrs Phillips said that it was about a twenty minute drive so I just pulled out one of my few books I owned and started reading. When I heard the engine shut off I looked up and saw a nice small family home. The house was white with shutters the color of khaki, with rose bushes aligned the front of the house with a big willow tree in the front of the yard . It was a cute little family home.

I got out of the car to help Mr. Phillips with my bags . He showed me to a room at the end of the hall but as we passed this living room I looked at the clock it was almost noon, "This will be your room. You can decorate it however you like." I smiled up at him as to say thanks, he just smiled back and said that he would be in the kitchen helping Mrs. Phillips preparee lunch.

I walked in the room the walls were a plain white with a full size bed in the center of the room, off to the left there was a desk on the far side and beside it on the right side was a entertainment stand with a T.V, and on the right side of the room was two doors the left was a closet and the right was a bathroom. I laid on the bed welcoming it's warmth, and before I knew it darkness consumed me and I drifted to dreamland.

When I woke up it was still day light, I guess I wasn't asleep that long. I opened one of my duffle bags and I grab some clean undergarments, and a pair of my washed out ripped skinny jeans and a white tank top with a black hoodie. I got dressed and threw my hair into a messing bun and grabbed what little make up I had and went to the bathroom to apply a winged eyeliner and mascara and grabbed my black worn out converses, and headed down stairs to find Mrs. Phillips in the kitchen cooking break fast .

"Good morning Lunnah." Mr. Phillips said walking in kissing Mrs. Phillips. I nodded my head and arched my eyebrow with a confused face as I looked at the waffles Mrs.Phillips was cooking. She noticed my facial expression and said "You slept the day a way, it is now 10am on Saturday." My eyes widened, I didn't know I was that tired . "I called you for lunch but when you didn't answer I sent John to check on you and he said you was asleep, so we just let you rest." She continued. ' I'm sorry I slept so long' I wrote on my notepad and showed Mr.Phillips "It's okay Lunnah, we figured you would be tired so we let you sleep as long as you wanted." He replied. I slowly nodded my head and sat at the kitchen table, waiting for Mrs. Phillips to finish. She set a plate of waffles in front of me and I dug in. "Lunnah me and John are going to head out to get a few things, would you like to come with us ?" I swallowed my food and set the fork down, and wrote ' if it's okay with you I'm just going to go unpack and get settled.' "alright sweetie we will see you later, alright.?" I smiled and nodded. They then left out the front door; I looked at my half eaten waffles and suddenly got full so I threw them a way a washed my dishes, and headed to my new room.
