The Were-Kids (Book 2)

The Realm of Truth

(Destiny's POV)

I was walking through the valley, towards the cave. What I didn't expect was when I felt small claws climbing up my leg and back up to my shoulder. As soon as I could I flung my hand back, backhanding whatever was on my shoulder. I heard a yelp and spun around and looked where there was a small dragon, obviously surprised. I stared down at it for a moment before realizing that it was Luna.

"Oh my lord I'm so sorry!" I quickly picked her up, correcting her the best I could. Once she regained her posture she huffed, smoke rising from her nostrils. I giggled gently and let her now rest onto my shoulder, curling her tail around my neck to hold herself in place. I walked into the cave to see everyone but Luke. They were talking intensely and they barely glanced at me and Luna before continuing.

"Did you see his eyes? They looked possessed," James said, shuddering.

"Maybe it's Luna's fault," Grizzly said suddenly and I immediately wanted to yell at him but he continued. "I mean, she's not here and we're fine, nothing goes on, we're the bests of friends and as soon as she shows up, we're all against each other. Let's face it, she's ruining our friendship. We should just give her to Luke, that's who he wants, isn't it?"

I hadn't realized it until it was too late, Luna had leapt off my shoulder and now balenced herself in front of Grizzly, snarling with her teeth bared. Though she was filled with anger in her hazel eyes I could see the immense worry. I realized from the start Luna adored him and me from the start, putting everyone else next to her instead of infrount of her. I paused. Did she adore me? I knew she had cared about me as a friend but she seemed to lose all trust in me when I tried to talk to Luke. I was snapped back into reality when I saw a blur of scales slam against the wall next to me.

"Luna!" I heard Jake's voice and I turned, seeing Luna curled up in pain, shaking. I turned back to see Grizzly, he was standing up. After a moment I noticed his eyes were now the same blood red Luke's eyes were.

"I thought I loved you," Grizzly Said, Luna let out a slight whimper. "I knew you would never love me, your just like those girls. You avoid love, and instead crush it."

Luna was looking at the ground and Grizzy's hand clenched. "Look at me when I talk to you!" He shouted, Luna looked up at him, her eyes filled with sadness. "Your nobody, Luna. Nobody could love you, that's why Luke is gone. It's because he tried to get close and you pushed him away! I looked at you with love and you looked back with hatred. That's just who you are, I can't judge but you need to learn the truth. You. Will. Never. Have. Anyone. That. Loves. You," he snarled before his eyes suddenly returned back to there normal color. He stared silent.

"Luna?" I asked, looking down at her as she put her head under a wing. I felt so sorry for her. She could take only so much.

"No, no, no, no...." Grizzly stared at Luna. "Luna, that wasn't me. I didn't mean to say that..."

Before he could finish she had shifted back into human form and started at him, her eyes filled with tears.

"Your right. I knew that, I just could never admit it. Just... just pretend I was never here." She ran out of the cave and I went to follow before a rough hand touched my shoulder and it was Grizzly, his eyes filled with pain.

"I will deal with this," he said, walking out of the cave. I sighed and sat down on a chair, sighing. After a while I heard footsteps and Grizzly bursted in.

"Its Luna. She's gone."

(Luna's POV)

I opened my eyes to see there was white everywhere, even the floor was white. I stood up immediately and looked around.
