Luna

Chapter 2 : THE STORY

"Luna darling, come here one second please." My mother said as she sat on one of the chairs in the kitchen talking to our chef.

I walked over to the seat next to her and sat down.
"Yes mother." I asked.

"I have two things to ask.
First, what would you like for dinner darling."

I replied looking at the chef, "An almond crusted french toast with strawberries and the syrup we got from Canada yesterday please."
"That's for breakfast, but yes mam." He nodded and whispered while writing it down and walked over to the pantry that took as much space as my room.

"...and the second question you needed to ask me mother." I was now looking at my mother with a confused face.

She looked worried and scared. Of what though.

"Is anything strange going on with you darling. You can tell me anything."
She questioned me.

"I'm not sure what your talking about mother.
What do you mean by strange." I asked in confusion.

She held her hand out and I took it. She walked over to my room and shut the door behind her. We were now siting on my bed and I was kind of scared.

"Strange... like visions of people... dieing..." She looked at my hands then at me and continued. "Strong desires to go outside at night and stare at the moon.." She swallowed. "And powers..."

"No. None of those. That's crazy there's no such thing as magic. Right?" I questioned very curious of her answer.

"I said powers not magic. There's a difference. Magic is like supernatural forces or mysterious abilities that your born with right away or someone curses you with."

"Powers are what your born with but you can't use them or you don't know you have them until a certain age. Powers are used to help people but some people take advantage of having powers and use it for bad things or not important things."

She paused for a couple seconds.

"I have powers I got from my mother but mostly from the moon. The moon has powerful forces in it and picks certain people to give these powers to. The moon gives you visions of people dieing but there not dead yet. It's showing you what's happening the next day. So you have time to save him or her. Sometimes it gives you signs. For example, a little boys screams and cries and a building that appears in a mirror might mean that a little boy is going to jump of that curtain building the next day."

"It has been in are family for generations now and my mothers grandmother had powers but my grandmother didn't. It passes some people but it's not impossible that you get it three times in a row. My mother, me, and you but we both got powers while we were thirteen and your turning thirteen at midnight."

I was out of words. I'm sitting here while my mother was saying I might have powers and if I get them I might have to save people and... I'm just out of words.

We stare at each other for a couple of minutes or so but I finally find the courage to speak.

"Then we'll have to wait and see." I said while a small smile was gathering on my face.

"I love you Luna and if your scared don't be because everything's going to be fine. It's not that bad. Look."
She told me pointing up to the ceiling.

"Lay down darling." She commanded so I laid down and watched the ceiling as she turned it into a night sky. I gasped as I saw the moon. The moon was shining bright in the middle of my ceiling in my room and it was... Magical. I felt relaxed as I saw the moon shine and the stars glisten and I felt happy. Everything's going to be okay. It stopped and I was just looking at a plane ceiling.

"Okay Luna, it's time for bed." She tucked me in and gave me a kiss on my cheek leaving a bubble gum pink smudge from her lipstick.

She walked away and opened the door.

"Mother." I said and she paused at the door then turned around to see me.

"Yes darling" she replied softly and sweetly.

"Can you do that thing you did one more time please."
I asked and she smiled and nodded. She laid down next to me and I rested my head on her shoulder.

"One more time." She confirmed.

She did this thing with her hand. She used her wrist only and her arms stayed in its place. She used her hand and did a weird motion. Like she was grabbing something and pulling away 5 times using one hand. It looked a little like a jellyfish swimming. A blue light was forming and growing bigger the more she moved her hand and the 5th time she moved her hand she snapped her fingers together and the blue light shot to the ceiling and there was the night sky.

She was standing by the door and held her hand out to the ceiling like if asking someone to take her hand and she then closed her eyes. I saw the blue light escaping the ceiling and travel into her hand and her heart lit up with a very bright blue light. Then there was nothing but a white ceiling.

"I love you Luna, goodnight." She said as she walked out of my room shutting the door behind her.

I was terrified.
How does it feel to get visions.
How does it feel to get powers.
How does it feel to be changed.

It was now 11:11 pm and I can't fall asleep. Im tired but every time I close my eyes they shoot back open.

🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑🌑

It's now 11:49 and I'm anxious but this time I keep falling asleep but now I need to keep my self awake until 12:00. But the sand man has won this battle. I fell into a deep sleep.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" I screamed so loud it woke up the entire country of Chandara.

Not literally I'm just saying I screamed really loud.

Someone barged in and ran to me with a worried expression. It was my mother. "What's wrong Luna!" She questioned.

I looked at her with a confused face.

"I think I had a vision."
