Luna, A shape shifter's tale, Mysterious happenings (Book 2)

Chapter 44

So the moment the bus got to the school, I jumped up from my seat and rushed to get off the bus. Once I was off, I turned around and waited for Vlad and James to get off so that I could find out why Vlad was gone for so long. While I waited, Chrissie and Chelsea came off the bus. They both looked at me weird, like I was off my rocker, probably because of the way I had quickly gotten off the bus. "What's with you?" Chrissie asked me. 

        "Vlad's here, he said that he was going to explain to me why he was gone so long, but he wanted James to be there too so that he didn't have to repeat himself." I replied.

"Oh I see, awesome. So you’re waiting for him to get off the bus then." Chrissie replied.

        "Yes." I replied back.

"Ok, then I will wait with you." Chrissie replied. So we both said goodbye to Chelsea and then waited for Vlad and James to get off the bus. It took a while, but finally they came off the bus. When they did, they both gave Chrissie and I a strange look. "What's up with you two?" Vlad replied.

        "We're waiting for you." I replied.

"Okay?" Vlad replied giving me a weird look. 

        "We want to know why you were gone for so long." Chrissie responded, which caught Vlad attention.

"We?" Vlad replied.

        "Yeah, Chrissie and I." I replied back.

"Uh not to be mean or anything, but your friend, Luna, had nothing to do with what happened between us." Replied Vlad.

        "Well neither did James and you’re telling him what happened." I yelled back at him.

"That's because his dad forbade us to not communicate with each other that much. The only things I know where from Vlad's brothers. When Vlad called it was usually about something else." Commented James. 

        "Oh, well that's still not fair!" Shouted Chrissie.

"Yeah it is." Vlad replied bluntly.

        "Oh really? In what way?" Chrissie demanded as she put her hands on her hips.

"Well I left Luna a note saying that I wanted to explain somethings before I left, because I didn't know that I was going to leave. So I never got to do that because of me leaving, that's why Luna get's to know what's going on. You don't get to know, because you've never really been with Luna when certain things happened." Vlad replied.

        "Well then, I'll just leave. since it's no use auguring with you." Chrissie said angrily and then marched off, but before she left, she gave me a you-better-tell-me-what-happens look. So I nodded to her letting her know that I would and then turned my attention to Vlad. "Ok lay it on me." I said to Vlad.

        "Alright, how about we walk and talk, I don't want us to be late for first period." Vlad replied. 

"Sounds good." James and I both said. So as we walked inside Vlad explained to us that his dad got mad at him for one, not killing me and two ending up in the hospital. When I heard this, not only did this annoy me but made me feel kind of bad for Vlad. Just the fact that his dad is so mean to him. Then Vlad went on to explain that the reason his dad was so mad at him, was because when he makes such ideas to try and hurt me, or worse, the members of the darkness faction find out about it and hope that it works out for Vlad. So when it doesn't, Vlad's dad gets yelled at for not pushing Vlad to try harder. So when Vlad not only failed to kill me, but also landed in the hospital, his dad got yelled at. So once Vlad was feeling better his dad arranged for him to live with his relatives in a nearby county for a while so that Vlad wouldn't bother him and that he could not be yelled at by members of the darkness faction. Once Vlad was done explaining, I looked at him and said, "That's it? That's the reason?" 

        "Yeah pretty much." Vlad sighed.

"I thought that it would be something else." I replied.

        "Nope." Replied Vlad.

"You got to know Luna, every time Vlad messes up something, his dad punishes him." Replied James, then he added as he turned his attention to Vlad, "I had a feeling that, that is what happened. I just didn't know that he sent you to live with family for a bit. Let alone I didn't know that you had family that lived close by." 

"Yeah that's what happened, the weird thing is though, the family my dad sent me to live with wasn't a part of the darkness faction, they were a part of the earth tribe." Vlad replied. Right after that both James and I stopped walking and looked at him a for a while. Then James replied with, "What the heck? How's that possible?"

        "Well I asked them about it and they said that it was complicated. That and the fact that my dad doesn't really talk to them that much." Replied Vlad.

"Oh ok, but still I don't get it." James replied.

        "I do." I replied, which ended up having both James and Vlad's attention on me. "Go on." Vlad replied.

"Well.... the day that my dad and your dad got into a fight, I found out that they used to be really good friends with each other. Also that your dad, Vlad, was originally a member of the earth tribe. Then something happened and now he's a darkness faction member." I replied, while Vlad and James gave me a blank stare.

        "Wait hold on, so you're telling me that my dad was a part of the earth tribe at first and then went to the darkness faction?" Vlad replied.

"Yeah." I replied.

        "How long has your dad known mine?" Vlad asked.

"Since high school." I answered.

        "Uh.... My dad never told me or my siblings about this." Replied Vlad.

"Probably because of whatever complicated things happened." James replied.

        "Probably." Vlad replied then after that we went to our lockers and got our things and then went to class.

                                                                        *** Vlad's Pov***

After I finished talking to Luna and James, I thought to myself, "When I get home, I am going to have a talk with my father about some things." Then after I thought this, I got the stuff I need for first period. Once that was done, I noticed that I still needed to give Luna the cookies that I made for her, but then noticed that she had gone to our first period class, so I decided that I would give them to her after school.
