Midnight Storm (Ateez)

Part 1

Her long black locks dance in the wind, the sun shining down on the tree she sits against. The gems on the bracelet that is secure around her wrist shine slightly, her sketchbook in her lap. She taps her free hand on her knee as she studies the flower in front of her, her art professor wanted her to have six different sketches of six different flowers.

"Celestial!" Upon hearing her name she looks up, her eyes, one as blue as the ocean the other as gray as a storm cloud, look around in search of the person who called her name.

"Why do you take that class if it has nothing to do with what you're studying?" A soft sweet voice says beside her, her two best friends are side by side looking down at her.

She giggles, "I like to draw you both know that." There's a sparkle in her eyes when she looks at them, her girl best friend Faith and her guy best friend Yunho.

Faith smiles at her, her long blond locks blowing with the wind. Celestial looks into her Hazel eyes, that are framed with glasses, before looking over to Yunho. Yunhos deep honey brown eyes never heaving her as Faith speaks up.

"Your brother is looking for you, said it was important." Celestial nods, quickly packing her belongings before being led to where he brother was. Even though she was adopted Seonghwa treated her like true family, always defending her when someone said she didn't belong.

"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Seonghwa pulls her into his strong arms, squeezing a little titter than she'd like.

"C-can't breath bubba!" She gasp for air when he pulls away, offering a shy smile as he mumbles a quick apology. "Now what's so important that caused you to look everywhere for me?"

"Hongjoongs friend is throwing a party tonight and he said I could bring y'all!" Her smile drops quickly, she's never been a party person. She finds them annoying with the loud music and drunken idiots bumping into anything and anyone, she opens her mouth to speak only to be cut off by Yunho.

"Oh Mingi and Wooyoung were telling Faith and I about that on our double date last night! You should come Celest!"

She was going to deny but the look all three of them gave her had her nodding as she sighed deeply, she could never say no to their puppy dog eyes. "Ok fine but! Y'all have to help me get ready, I don't go to parties so I don't know what to wear." Faith nods her head, she already had an idea of what she wanted her to wear.

As soon as classes were over Celestial walked down her regular path that she walked everyday on her way home, she was feeling a little down because tomorrow is her 21st birthday. She never wanted a party or to invite over to many people, on her 18th birthday she was told her biological mother couldn't keep her because of what she does.

What made it worse is that they told her her father didn't want her, that's all it took for her to fall to her knees, her brother came to her aid immediately. Since then she's never been fond of "birthday parties" or small gatherings on her birthday.

Sighing she takes out her house keys to unlock the front door, closing and locking it once she's inside. She hears chatter in the kitchen, her adoptive parents must be home. She's always called them her mom and dad, her brother and them are the only family she has so she cherishes them with every bone in her body.

Instead of greeting them she goes straight to her room to finish her art assignment and to get started on her biology homework. Something stops her though, a box sitting at the center of her bed to be exact.

Setting her books and bag to the side she climbs onto her bed, grabbing the medium sized box. She grabs the silver ribbon that is wrapped around it, pulling it gently. When the ribbon is off she takes the lid off, she gasps when she sees a crescent moon necklace.
