Chapter 10

        Chapter 10

        "Did you have a good birthday?" Percy asked.

        "Yeah. It was good." I smiled. Percy and I were sprawled out on a blanket I had brought to the pond. I had my head on Percy's chest like a pillow and he had one hand behind his head for support. The other was playing with my hair. It was the day after my birthday and everything seemed to be fine. But for some reason, I had a vague premonition of danger. I decided to ignore it because I'm usually wrong about these things anyway, but still something told me to get ready and be prepared.

        "I received presents from everyone. Sally and Costin got me the new book series that I've been wanting to read by one of my favorite authors. In fact, the main character has the same name as you," I said looking up at the stars.

        "Really? Well he has the most amazing name ever. Well, besides Crystal of course." I could hear a smile when he talked. It made me laugh.

        "Well of course! Anyway, my family sent me all kinds of things. My parents sent me new clothes and my bunnies. I still can't believe I left them at home."

        "Wait, you have bunnies?" He asked as he sat up to look down at me.

        I just smiled and said, "I don't mean the kind of living, breathing baby rabbits. I mean my fuzzy pink slippers."

        "Then why do you call them bunnies?" He tilted his head to the side like he does when he's confused. It's adorable.

        "You're going to think this is silly but I call them my bunnies because it feels like you're sticking your foot into a bunny's butt. They are incredibly soft."

        "You are most silly, my Luna. Only you would think to call your slippers that." He cupped his hand on my cheek and I leaned into his touch. 

        He smiled at me before lying back down. I decided to keep talking. "Anyway, I finally got to call my parents and they apparently knew that I was going to call them because I called them every day, when in reality I didn't."

        "Well then who kept calling them and pretending to be you?" Percy asked.

        "I had a feeling it was Peri and I told her to stop. She said she had no idea what I was talking about, but she winked at me so I knew that my suspicions were correct."

        "That's Peri for you."

        "I know. How's life going for you, training to be the Alpha?"

        "Ok, I don't know where you got 'training' from, but my father's been showing me how to command the attention of a room and discipline the misbehaving wolves."

        "Ok, good, but you already know how to do that stuff anyway. Anything big, mysterious, or exciting going on?" I turned my head and rested it against my arm so I could look Percy in the eye. 

        He started to say something but then closed his mouth before he could let any words escape. I pushed myself off of Percy and sat cross-legged beside him. 

        "You're hiding something from me," I said.

        "What would make you think that, Luna?" 

        "You were going to say something but didn't."

        "Was I?"

        "Yes, you were so spill."

        "Spill what?"

        "Percy. You know what I meant."

        He let out a sigh. "I don't want to scare you."
