There was no one there but the darkness, the silence and the sounds of two beating hearts.
"Look." He spoke and pointed at the girl's reflection. "What do you see?"
His voice was husky and a bit deep. It left the poor girl in a trance till she shook...

When the groups of men were grabbing their things, Luna and Lex walked in.
"Gather around everybody, gather around." Turning in Lex's direction, the men had a look of surprise on their face, but it was quickly replaced with relief and happiness. However, there were some who were still bitter on how Lex and Luna told them that they weren't ready for this expedition. It was a bit of an outrage since they were men and as such they were confident that they could do this without any equipment or help from anyone especially from the female race. However, these men choose to keep their mouths shut. While they did that, they just stare down at the two female. Now while some of these men grumbled about having the two back, two men didn't. In fact, they were just as surprise as everyone but they were the ones who wore the biggest grin. Turning to each other, Sebastian and Thomas gave a low five to each other. While they did this, Thomas spoke.
"I told you she would stay." Thomas winked in the process of his speech which caused Sebastian to laugh at how idiotic he looked. As Thomas was about to continue, Sebastian just shook his head and pointed at the girls. Thomas got the hint and flushed in embarrassment. Sending a goofy smile to Sebastian, he turned back to the front. Shaking his head once more, Sebastian turned his attention to the two girls and stared at them. Sebastian usually kept tabs on people he worked with. But out from everyone there, there was one person Sebastian did not know anything about.
Furrowing his eyes, he stared at Luna. She was a mystery and he did not know whether or not if he should be intrigue by that fact or not. No matter how much he searched her up, he couldn't find a single thing on her. Where she lived, went to school, who her parents were, there was simply nothing. It was as if she was a 'ghost or an imaginary person.'
That thought did not sit well with Sebastian. 'Just who is she and what use would she be to us?' As he looked around, he wasn't the only one wondering about little Luna. He saw a few of his fellow archeologists regard her with both a calculative and a questioning look. As he thought of it more, he noticed Luna was always there by Lex's side. 'But that one time.' She had completely left Lex alone when they spoke to her. 'But had she?' Sebastian started to feel uncomfortable and a shiver went down his spine as he remembered when he spoke to Lex. Everything was fine until he took a step closer to her. That was when he felt it, a sharp prick like a needle that had pierced his skin. 'Was she... still there?'Sebastian thought that as he continued to stare at Luna. Having to feel a prick on her, Luna calmly turned in the direction of it. Noticing that the prick came from Sebastian, she gave him an emotionless look with a raised eyebrow. Shuddering from her stare, Sebastian turned away. Despite the fact that Luna looked harmless, something in her eyes told him that she would not hesitate to harm him. 'I should be careful around her.' Sebastian couldn't help but think that. Before he could think of anything else, Luna spoke.
"Since you are all new to this, Lex and I decided to lay down three simple rules." Luna regarded all of them after she spoke.
"First, we will travel as a group." Lex spoke as she looked at all the men in the eyes. Once she did that, she continued listing down the rest of the rules."Second, we will keep constant communication with each other." When Lex finished that, Luna spoke in soft yet warning voice.
