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

Chapter 46

                                                             *** Vlad's Pov ***

Once the bus got to my bus stop, I quickly got off the bus. I didn't want to take my time chatting or walking slowly to my house, so I walked at a fast pace to get home. Not caring if anyone noticed, not even if Luna noticed, because right now I was upset. I just couldn't believe it Luna dating someone else. It was just hard to believe, I mean I did tell her that I liked her while we were in the hospital. So why didn't she take that in mind when she was asked out? Anyways I was almost home when I heard someone shouting my name, so I stopped for a second and turned around to find Luna trying to catch up with me. Seeing this annoyed me a bit so I continued to walk faster to my house. As I did this I heard Luna tell me to wait, but I ignored her and thought. "Doesn't she understand that I don't want to talk to her?" Then I continued on walking and finally I entered my house. Just before I slammed the door to my house I heard Luna exclaim, "Vlad w-" To late, I had shut the door to my house, then I peeked outside from the window to find that Luna had followed me all the way to my front door steps and was standing there, staring at my front door in a daze. Then she turned around slowly and started to walk away, but then she stopped and saw that I was peeking out from the window, before I could hide, Luna came over to the window and said, "Vlad is something wrong? You've been acting all weird since school got out. Can we talk?" I sat there for a bit on the floor with my back up against the wall by the window with a tear running down my check. Then I took out some paper and pen that was nearby and wrote my answer and then put it up against the window.

                                                        No, leave me alone. Was my reply.

"Okay, I understand, your upset about something and you don't want to talk about it right now, just letting you know, I'm okay with talking with you, because you have been nice to me, so don't be a stranger." Luna replied. Then after that, I looked out of the window to see Luna walk away hesitantly, but then kept walking towards her house. I watched her for a bit and then decided to not look out of the window. The moment that I did; I started to cry, because I hurt so much inside. By the fact that Luna was going out with someone and also the fact that I blew my chance to talk to Luna about it. While I was all balled up crying on the living room floor, I heard someone come down the stairs into the living room to where I was. For a moment I had realized that I wasn't the only one home, but I didn't care I was too upset to care. "Hey what's wrong?" Said a compassionate voice to me. I looked up with tears still streaming down my face to find my older brother Thomas staring down at me with his icy blue eyes.  "L-Luna is d-dating someone else. I found out when I went to go give her the cookies that I made her." I said as I tried to choke back tears, but then went back to crying.

        "Awe, I'm sorry to hear that." Thomas replied apologetically as he fell to his knees and gave me a hug. "There, there it's ok. We'll just have to find a way to make her realize that she's with the wrong guy." Thomas said as he patted me on the back.

                "You think that, that is possible?" I said as I peered up at him, feeling a little better.

"Yes, I'm sure of it." Thomas replied as he gave me another hug.

        "Ok." I replied as I wiped a tear away.

"Alright now let's wash that face of yours it looks like a mess." Thomas said.

        "Okay." I replied and then got up from the floor with my brother to go to the bathroom and wash my face, While doing this I thought, Thomas is such a nice older brother, he understands what I've been going through. Why couldn't he be my dad. He'd be a lot better to me than how my dad's been treating me lately."  Then once I had washed my face, Thomas and I went up to his room and talked about what happened today, also Thomas gave me some ideas on what do with Luna. A few minutes later, Thomas and I had not only talked about what had happened but had gotten all of my homework done. Then when we had finished the homework, we started to talk about our dad, and possibly why he had me be with our relatives that live close by while we were talking about this, one of my much older brothers came home and made sure that they were heard. Only because they slammed the front door really loud. "Well someone sure is mad about something," Thomas said and then we both decided to go investigate who it was. Once we got downstairs and went into the kitchen to find out that it was our older brother Mihail. "What's up with you?" Thomas replied.

        "Had a bad day at work," Mihail replied.

"Oh sorry to hear that, what happened?" Thomas asked.

        "I got yelled at because a customer couldn't understand what I was trying to say to them," Mihail said as he ran a hand through his bleach blond hair. 

"Oh, ohh. Sorry." Thomas said totally understanding why.

        "Not to be mean or anything, but it's too hard to understand what you're saying sometimes when it's not in Romanian," I replied.

"WELL I'M SO SORRY THAT I CAN'T BE LIKE YOU VLAD AND HAVE A PERFECT ENGLISH ACCENT!" Mihail yelled at me.

        "Hey be nice, but he's right Vlad. Mihail and I didn't learn English until we moved here, and so we have an accent because we learned at an older age than you. Who learned at a young age, that's why you don't have much of an accent, so you don't have to worry about people not be able to understand you." Thomas pointed out.

"Ok," I replied.

        "So how have your guys' day been?" Mihail replied trying to change the topic.

"Um ok, I guess," I replied.

        "Same here," Thomas replied.

"Hm, I'm sensing that neither of you want to talk about it." Mihail replied.

        "You got that right." Thomas and I replied.

"Ok." Replied Mihail, right after that the frint door opened and closed, followed by a "Hello boys." from my dad, as he came into the kitchen and opened the fridge door to get something. "Oh hi dad." Thomas replied with a sort of bothered tone.

"Hi dad." Replied Mihail.

        "Dad? I have a question." I replied as both Thomas and Mihail gave me an are-you-crazy? look. As my dad slammed the fridge door and glared at me. "No hi dad? No, no how was your day? I thought that I've taught you to greet your elders before you slam them with whatever it is that you want to ask!" Shouted my dad.

"Ok sorry. Hi dad how was your day? I have a question that I would like you to answer." I replied, after I said that my dad rolled his eyes at me and then said, "Hello Vladimir, work went well. What do you want?"

        "When I was away from home, at our relative's house, they mentioned that they are from the earth tribe. So I was wondering how that was possible?" I replied. As I said this, my dad gave me a bothered look and then said, "Fine, if you must know, I was born into the earth tribe not the darkness faction. The relative that I sent you to were one of my siblings." Replied my dad.

"Oh uh oh that's interesting." I replied

        "Yeah I guess." My dad replied and went to leave the kitchen as Mihail and Thomas's eyes grew huge from the information that dad gave us. "Uh dad?" I replied making my dad stop, "Yes?" He replied with his back turned away from me. "Were you ever friends with Luna Lucas's dad?" I replied as I heard both Thomas and Mihail make a noise indicating that I shouldn't have said that. "What?" My dad said as he turned to look at me and gave me a serious look. "Where did you find that out?" He then said in a furious tone.

        *gulp* "Luna." I replied knowing now that I was in trouble.
