I wake up early and dress, heading downstairs for something to eat. When I get to the kitchen I see dad sleeping at the table, too drunk to even get to his room. I grab myself a bagel and leave the house, locking the door behind me. I walk through town and arrive at school early. I wait outside with in the other early risers. From the corner of my eye I see one of the boys from yesterday, I remember the others calling him Nico, the ocean-blue eyed boy. I watch him and make sure my hood is up and covering my entire face. Nico is leaning on the wall and as I watch the others show up: Lance, Nick, Mark, and Alfonso. I watch as they joke around until the school opens. I sign heading to the library and avoid the area the boys were in yesterday, by sitting near the other doors that will lead to the hallway and a few doors down, my first class. I pull out a scrap of paper and write a note excusing me for classes yesterday, perfectly replicating my dad’s writing and sign his name on the bottom before shoving it into my pocket, crumbling it. I sigh and relax watching the time and all the kids around me. A few minutes before the bell Nico and his friends enter the library and look around. I watch them from the corner of my eye, they sit at the table to my left and a little bit back. I lose sight of Nico, and the black haired, with red and blue highlights, Lance as they walk to the opposite side of the table. Little did I know that they had been watching me, and suddenly my world goes black and I remember nothing…
(Nico)
I watch the purple eyed girl closely as I get onto the bus on the first day of school knowing that she was the one I was after. I smile to myself as I see her look me over, then look out the window. I flop into the seat beside her facing the center of the bus and my two friends and the stupid Guardians that were sent with us to try and keep her on the good side when she finally reaches full awareness of what she is. I smile at Lance and Nick, and laugh at the whispered threats from Mark and Alfonso. I joke around with them and when we get to school I watch the girl closely as she enters the office and comes out a minute later with a schedule and map. She walks unknowingly past me as she talks to herself heading up to the library. I text Lance and Nick to head to the library and I head up waiting outside the doors for them. When they arrive, with the ever watching Guardians, we head in and I lead them to the area I saw her enter and I see her hidden between shelves, so I just flop into a chair and the others all sit down, the two Guardians sit on the floor watching us and her. We all chat like friends, continuing our public act, and I lean forward trying to secretly see what the girl is drawing and I see that she has drawn me with my wings unfolded, sitting in a extremely flattering position. I smile at that and secretly take a picture of it right before she flips the page and starts to sketch Lance, her eyes flicking up every few second to look over his shape. I continue to watch as she draws all of us and I take a secret picture of each, laughing at the time and I whisper to Lance about how good she is.
“Bro, just cause she cute, doesn't mean she’s cooperative,” Lance says in my ear. She glances at the time and bites her lip, standing up and sliding past us without anyone, but me, noticing. I stand and follow her, leaving the guys there and I let my wings out and fly above her as she sneaks out of the school and into the public library. I text the guys to come as she gets off the computer, and she walks softly into a little cubie. I re-enter the library with the boys and direct us to the table right by the cubie and watch her pull her head back in after watching us come in. We relax and I watch her leave hours later and I follow silently all the way to her house and watch as she eats while shopping online for new clothes. I have the boys do shifts overnight and I am waiting for her at the school the next morning when she walks, Lance having tailed her secretly. I see her glance around and settle her sexy purple eyes on me as I lean against the wall rubbing my folded wings, that take the form of blue-black wing tattoos on my shoulders and down my entire back. The boys arrived shortly after. We talk, joking around until the bell rings and she goes inside the school and up to the library. We follow shortly after and take the table beside her. Lance and I walk out of her line of sight, round the table. I glance at the boys and they cast a spell to put the rest of the town to sleep. I walk behind her and nod at Lance and Nick who grab, and restrain, the two Guardians as I place the thin chain of the moon pendant around her neck knowing if it glows we had finally found the princess. The necklace settled around her neck like it was created for her, and emits a soft golden glow and I grin lifting her into my arms and teleporting her and myself from the school. I knew that my Fallen Wing friends would bring her stuff to the “Anti-Gaurdian Zone”, a hidden underground bunker in France. I place the girl on a bed tying her wrists together, behind her back, and cover her with a thin blanket. I relax in a chair as I wait for her to wake up, just as I’m about to pull out a book the boys arrive. They drop a bag of clothes and personal items, including her laptop, and school bag at the foot of the bed. I smile and motion for them to sit and relax for awhile, while we wait for the girl to wake up. I pull out her wallet and find her I.D., and I laugh softly.
“She has the same name,” I say and the boys laugh softly and come over to look.
“Wow, she does. Thats cool now we won’t have to struggle by calling her something else,” Nick says softly looking her over.
“True, but the question is, will she remember Nico, the ocean-blue eyed boy, when we awaken her soul?” I glare at Lance, and he shrugs innocently.
“Shut it boys,” I say, watching her start to wake up. I motion for lance to cover her eyes as I stand to start the spell to bring back her memories, releasing my wings.
(Luna)
Before I open my eyes I know something is wrong. I have a dull throbbing in my shoulders, but I can’t move them, when I strain to move them I find a thick cord wrapped around them, and I hear three young male voices whispering until one of them hushes the others. I slit one eye and see them by the foot of the bed, one sitting and two standing. The one sitting motions at one of them; who walks forward, ties cloth over my eyes and sits me up against a bunch of pillows.
“Your name is Luna Sol Eclipse, am I right?” Says a deep yet soft voice, like waves brushing the beach.
I frown knowing I heard the voice some where before, and I nod my head slightly wondering how they knew my complete name. I slowly try to pull the memory from the deep-ends of my mind, but all I got was flashes of white and black. I here a light laugh from one of the guys, the one still standing by my feet, and a gruff laugh from the one who covered my eyes and is now behind me to the left. The other one, the one sitting, hushed them and asked, “You know my voice, yes?” I nod again slowly, then I shake my head.
“I knew it, some memories are still there.” I can almost hear the smirk in his voice. I hear him move and turn my head toward the sound. He laugh sounds like a ocean breeze running through the palms. I sniff the air wondering if there is a ocean near by. I don't smell anything, but when one of the boys comes closer I smell the ocean on him.
“Dear oh dear, why haven’t you awakened yet,” Mr. Ocean says softly in my ear. I let out a small gasp as I feel his breath on my skin. He laughs in my ear and brushes a hand through my hair.
“Is the stone on her skin?” It was the male by my feet, the softer spoken one. I turn my head towards the foot of the bed and he laughs.
“So she still has good sense of direction. Thats nice to know don’t you think?” The gruffer one laughs and I tilt my head slightly pinning his position in my head along with the softer spoken one.
“I think so, I guess she is just coming slowly,” he says gruffly, matching the tone of his laugh. A shiver runs down my spine as a slightly calloused hand touches my bare shoulder. My face goes hot as one of them runs a finger down my chin and loops a finger under the blindfold pulling it off.
