Child of the Moon

Always a Way

Hey guys! Sorry for the long update and leaving it on such a cliff hanger. Although I kind of laughed at some of the comments by the excitement for the previous chapter. XD You guys are just awesome. Anyway, here's the long awaited second half of this cliff hanger. :D

-Luna's POV-

"Pathetic, Weak, all talk but no fight."

"No....your wrong," I mumbled. I gasped and my eyes shot open. I stared at the dark green ceiling, in confusion and shock. A second later, pain rushed through me and I moaned, feeling sore all over my body. I tried to breath but it hurt so much. I tried moving at first, but it only hurt. I laid on the ground for a while, letting my body slowly heal. Once after a good minute, I slowly sat up, taking care not to move too quickly. I leaned against the way, gasping for air.

"Why does..." I mumbled. "it hurt so....much?" The memories came rushing in and my eyes grew wide. I sat up too quickly and I winced in pain. I slowly leaned against the wall, trying to stay calm and think. "Okay," I said to myself. "I'm on a ship, that's probably heading to Home World, where they're probably going to kill all of us."

"Yep, that's pretty much it," I heard somebody respond. I flinched and looked around the cell I was in. I stared across from where I was sitting and saw Circo sitting in the jail cell across from me, on the opposite side of the hallway. He looked pretty beat up; he had a bump on his head, had cuts on his arms and cheek. His right eye was starting to turn dark from a black eye. Overall, he looked horrible.

"Circo!" I said, getting up and running towards the yellow barrier of the cell.

"Luna wait!" he shouted. But it was too late. I had hit the yellow wall and, instead of getting electrocuted, I only felt a buzz go through my body and I was on the other side of the cell. I collapsed to the ground, feeling weak from the sudden rush of getting to my feet. Circo was standing on his feet in his cell, staring at me in shock.

"How did you do that?" he asked.

"I....don't know," I said, slowly getting up. My body was protesting against the pain of moving, but I forced myself and stood up, trying to keep myself balanced. Circo looked down at his hands and placed them out to the yellow wall in front of him. He placed his hands out, pressing against the walls. His hands went through the wall, and yellow digital lines went up his hands and arms, making him buzz. He quickly stepped through and both of us were standing in the hallway.

"How on earth did we both get through?" he asked, helping me stand up.

"I think the walls are to keep gems out, not hybrids like us," I said. He nodded seeming to get it. Just then, we heard footsteps down the hallway, and a loud voice saying, "I'll destroy those sun and moon stones myself."

"Run," we both said to each other. Circo grabbed my wrist and led me down the hallway, turning the corner and stopping. I gasped for air, though it hurt. Circo looked at me, "Oh geez. I didn't realize how beat up you look. What did she DO to you?!"

"Now's -gasp- not -gasp- the time," I said between breaths.

"You can't be running in this condition. Can you heal yourself?"

"I'll need -gasp- water."

He looked around, trying to look for hints Suddenly, we heard Jasper yell, "WHERE DID THEY GO!!!!"

We both flinched and Circo grabbed my wrist again, running down a hallway. We turned a corner, just as we heard Jasper running down the hallway past us. Her footsteps shook the entire place. Once the doors open and closed for her to leave, I sighed in relief, sinking to the floor.
