Dreams are odd things. They can be blissful and filled with grace or filled with horrendous images that scar your brain with a new found fear you didn't know you had.
Luna had neither, quiet voices murmured just outside of her understanding. The cloth that previously covered her mouth laid inches away. She could smell the sickening stench of chemicals from the cloth, Luna coughed lightly and attempted moving. Everything hurt as her eyes inched open, the inside of the van was plain and simple. Luna struggled greatly to keep her lead filled eyelids open as she attempted to look around. Mer laid unconscious a few feet away, she started to stir as the van slowed to a stop.
Mer's POV:
'Everything hurts... Why can't I move?" her words echoed through her mind. Slowly her arm moved up to her face as she rubbed the chemical induced sleep away. She groaned while finally lifting her eyelids. Her eyes danced around the van, she spotted two men in the front causally chatting with each other. Neither noticed the stirring girls in the back. Mer looked towards her sister who was curled into herself. Their eyes met and she inched herself closer. "W-What's happening?.... What's g-going on?" Mer's words were dry and harsh as they left her mouth. Luna shook her head "I don't know-" she slurred. Luna managed to move her hand up above her head, and Mer met it with her own. They interlaced their fingers and got closer "I won't l-let anything h-happen to you Meriposa" Luna grasped her sister's hand tighter as the words left her mouth, Mer nodded as the man in the passenger seat turned to look at them.
"They're waking up Max." The unnamed man said to the driver, Max turned and glanced back at the girls " Good we are getting close." they shared a smirk and turned back to the front.
Luna's POV:
'Getting close to where? What's happening to us? ' Luna coughed again and slightly tightened her grip on Mer's hand. "Damn Luna any tighter and you'll break my damn hand off!" Mer groaned and tried to pull her hand out of the death grip being placed on it. She smiled at her sister's tone and shook her head "Neh, I'll keep the grip~" "Shut your damn traps!" The unnamed man had turned and was glaring at the two. He was mid to late 20's, his hazel eyes were harsh and cold, he had a square jaw speckled with facial hair and a nose too small for his face 'He's easily 200 pounds with that beer belly, And those meaty hands... he better not touch me ' Luna glared at the man "You don't have to be rude Jimmy, It is unnecessary and probably unwanted." Max spoke, Luna caught herself staring, He was in his early 20's, His eyes were a soft blue after a stormy day, His face perfectly sculpted and a jawline that could cut glass. She noticed his effortlessly perfect messy hair and sighed as she tore her eyes away from the masterpiece of a man.
Suddenly the van began moving again. Both girls tensed their bodies to stay in place since they both had moved from their previous positions. It was clear to Luna that the driver, Max, was the one in charge currently. Luna released Mer's hand and rolled over to her side, After some effort, she managed to sit up and lean against the van's wall.
Mer rubbed her newly released hand and groaned while copying her older sister's method of sitting up. She leaned on the opposite wall and looked to Luna. " So I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that we aren't going to see our house again huh Max?" Mer exaggerated his name to catch his attention. Luna furrowed her brows and lightly shook her head at Mer "Don't Mer, we don't want to upset them.." Mer shrugged "So what if we do?- Anyways! Max where are we going?" she crossed her arms as Luna continued to shake her head. Max kept looking forward at the road as he replied to her. "Doubtful, but there's a chance you could." His tone was oddly even and collective, Luna shivered slightly at his answer "could? Where are we going? Why did you drug us?" The questions left Luna's mouth before she could stop them. She quickly covered her mouth as Mer smirked at her "Look whose speaking up now.~" She half glared at her and huffed "Shut it brat-" "You two bicker a lot." Max sighed " You're going to a camp for your kind." this time his tone was colder and more distant towards the two.
Luna's mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water "our kind?" her hands moved to her pointed ears. She looked at Mer seeing her do the same, her eyes stayed on her sister. She knew what he meant 'your kind, he meant our elvish ears and beautiful appearances... '
