Lunar's Eclipse

Chapter 1

Introductions

I wake up to find the other side of the bed empty. I take a moment and look up to the ceiling. It seems like everyday there's a new pattern in the molding.

I reach over to get my phone and I wince at the sudden blast of light. As my eyes get used to the light, I look in the corner for the date.

July 30th. 4 weeks my parents have been missing.

I feel alone sometimes but they left me enough "fortune" to last a while, at least a couple of months.

I groan and moan as I ache, trying to sit up. I take a deep breathe, feeling like I just did to much. After a moment of catching my breath, I swing my legs over the side of the bed and walk to the bathroom.

I don't go to school much so I don't really care about what I wear or what I look like. Mostly because most of my life I was homeschooled.

But overall I think I look pretty good. Black hair that flows around my shoulders; blue highlights that complement my sky blue eyes. Pale.skin that I swear makes me feel like I'm the palest person on Earth. At least i can't get ashy.

These are the thoughts I think about in my head when I look at myself in the mirror.

I attempt to put my luscious hair in a ponytail but my rubber band breaks before I could finish putting it on. I huff and turn around to leave, leaving my hair as it is.

I venture to my closet, wondering what to wear. I pull out a pair of black jeans and a white Polo shirt. Pleased with my outfit, I sluggishly put it on, then walk over to my drawers.

On it is my pendant, the only piece of jewelry I have and the only memory of my parents. I lift my hair and tie a knot at the end of the string.

It's basically a yin-yang but with the moon and the sun. The only thing is though I can't find the sun piece. My mom said she probably lost it but my dad said he found it like that. Ever since they left, I just felt like I needed to find it.

The thought of my parents makes my view shift to their bed. I slept in it every night thinking every time I wake up they'd be there by my side. But miracles don't happen easily.

I stuff my feet in my Converse, get my keys and my bag and I head out. I feel like i'm missing something though...

Umm...

Right!

Sorry. I'm not very good with introductions.

My name is Lunar Stone. And this is the story of how I died.

Almost.
