moonlight secrets by Caitlin Keeton aka Gaara (world of reading TXT) 📕

regretfully leaned out of his strong arms.
“this is Emily she’s new here.” my fathers eyebrows raised.
“let me guess she looks innocent but she’s really not is it possible you have found yourself an accomplice.” we burst out laughing at her confused expression. I shook my head and rolled my eyes.
“no dad she’s more innocent then a doe.” we walked into my dads house.
“Is Lauran going to be here I want her to meet Emily.” my dad beamed.
“Yes and she’s bringing Tristan I’m glad you came he has been wanting to meet you ever since he saw your picture.” I was happy that I was finally going to meet him. I had heard about him constantly last night. Just as I thought that I heard the door open and a little boy giggling.
“Daddy guess what I have ice cream.” said a little boy who had red curly hair and dark brown eyes. He was smiling and holding up a tub of ice cream as though it was a trophy and he was giving it to us. But he droped it when he saw me and ran towards me and hugged me.
“RAIN!!!!!” I laughed surprised he had taken to me so fast. Then he looked at Emily and beamed. He pointed at me.
“This is my sissy.” my father laughed and it was then I realized how happy he was. He was finally getting the thing he wanted a son to be close with to teach how to fish and shoot a bow and arrow. It made me feel better for so long I had watched as he smiled and how it would never reach his eyes. Latter on I was helping him clean dishes while Emily Lauren and Tristan were sitting on the couch looking at my pictures of when I was growing up against my wishes of course. My father chose this time to address me.
“Rain what is wrong?” I looked at him shocked.
“What makes you think there’s something wrong?” My father sighed.
“because you are my daughter I notice when her smile does not reach her eyes I can see when it is replaced with worry and dred. What happened to make my sweet Rain so empty?” he said it with so much sorrow that I felt tears run down my cheeks I turned my face away so that he wouldn’t have to see me like this but he gently took my face between his hands and looked me in the eyes.
“You have always had more of a heart of our ancestors more then anyone I know even more then me you have a warriors heart but remember this rain even the bravest souls have there pride tooken away and they feel fear but it is not those things that make you a warrior it is your fighting sprit that makes it so you fight even when you know you are losing.” I marveled at the fact that even though my father knew nothing about why I was like this he still knew exactly what to say. His words always made me climb out of the deepest holes. I smiled but this time it reached my eyes.
“Thank you dad.” I said then made my way to the living room. Emily stood at the door already having to go so with our farewells we walked out the door.
“Your dad is so nice.” I smiled
“I know and he’s wise too.” she laughed.
“He reminds me of a chief of an Indian tribe.” I nodded.
“you guys are so much alike.” she left me on the sidewalk staring after her in shock. How could I possibly remind her of him? I shook my head in wonder disappearing in the night. Letting the darkness swallow me whole.


Emily’s POV
I watched as she walked gracefully into the dark as if she belonged their as if she were the night herself. She was intimating the whole night I had watched as she had walked around the house wondering. Did she not see how strong she looked while she was walking as if she was the owner if every palace she stood? Did she not realize that her eyes blazed like a fire that could burn your very soul. But there was a sadness there. I had seen it when she had walked into the classroom. As if her very soul had shattered. She was mysteries she left me wondering what her every secret was. I sighed not quiet believing myself I sounded like some sort of Lesbo. When I walked into the living room I caught my mom staring out the window with her mouth wide open. When she saw me she turned around.
“Who was that?” my mom asked. My brother snorted. He was in the same year as me but a year older then me since he had been held back. We looked a lot alike but we both had totally different personalities. I was shy and sweet while my brother was a total play boy who tried to get any girl in his bed I glared at him but he ignored it.
“She’s that Goth chick who everyone says is a freak. They say she does witchcraft.”
“SHUT UP!!” I yelled mad that he could just so easily say something like that about someone I stomped upstairs not bothering to say goodnight to anyone.UNKNOWN POV
I watched as she left the girl in the house walking in the opposite direction of her home. Something was wrong I knew it. She had never went to her fathers two nights in a row. I growled not happy about the prospect of someone hurting her. I could feel her pain and smell her fear. Sean ran next to me unlike me he looked innocent and sweet although he was anything but. He had blonde hair and blue eyes and was a few inches shorter then me. I had dark long red hair that reached to my back, bright dangers amber eyes, and towered over everyone.
“How’s your princess?” Sean asked looking after her. Then frowned.
“why is she going to the park this late?” I had wondered the same thing. Instead of answering I decided to follow. I watched as she curled up in a tunnel and went to sleep. I was surprised never had she done something so desperate.
“I’m guessing you came here with news?” He nodded his head becoming series.
“The girls parents are one of them. She’s in danger.” I snarled. But then sighed it seemed that we had a lot on our plate.
“You said you have a werewolf friend am I correct?” he nodded.
“Call him.” I turned my back then called over my shoulder.
“Get her a blanket.” Then I ran into the night.


Winters POV
I was sitting in Emily’s living room on Saturday night it seemed that we had a lot in common. We both watched anime, liked to draw, write and eat gummy worms. Her mom and dad despite their first opion of me liked me. I could not say the same for her brother Dean but I ignored him content to be in this warm cozy house. The memory of the park made me shiver. It had been cold but I had refused to let it bother me. I had woken up to find myself covered by a warm blanket. I had no idea who could have put it there but I didn’t try to find out either. I was just happy someone had showed such care in me. I smiled thinking of the mysteries person.
“So do you want to watch more Nartuo or cowboy bebop?” She asked what she had asked the whole weekend. I giggled.
“Cowboy Bebop.” she smiled and popped the DVD in. her brother walked in the living room and I tensed. Ready for some mean comment but instead he sat next to us I looked over at him suspiciously.
“what do you want?” I asked he smirked.
“To just sit and watch TV with my sister and her lovely friend.” I raised my eyebrows.
“sure you do.” that was how we spent the rest of our weakened. Watching DVDs and bickering with Emily’s brother but in a playful way.
“Come on Rain get up.” Emily was shaking me but I refused to get up I was exhausted from the dream I had. This time I had been getting tortured and a voice asking me for a name I didn’t know I recognized the voice but I couldn’t place it. I was broken from my thoughts when I felt a bucket of cold water being dumped on me.
“HEY!!!!” I yelled chasing after a giggling Emily. She was so fast. I finally gave up and went in the shower. I threw on some ripped jeans, a black purple shirt, combat boots, and fishnet gloves. I put on some eye liner and black eye shadow. I looked into the mirror and almost gasped I still wasn’t used to my eyes. They if it was even possible got even brighter my skin was paler too. I felt a sharp pain in my back but ignored it I had been having that for a week now. It was the burning in my throat that happened it was getting even more consistent to the point where I couldn’t ignore it not even water was helping. I sighed and walked out the bathroom and gaped there stood Emily looking so adorable! She was wearing a light blue dress, a blue ribbon in her hair and white sandals. She didn’t even have to wear makeup! She was jumping up in excitement her eyes were shining.
“Guess what my dad just told me!”
“What?”
“ There’s a new guy going to our school!” I shrugged.
“He’s most likely going to be like everyone else here. Snobby and judgmental.” Emily frowned.
“You shouldn’t judge someone before you know them plus my dad meet him and said he was really nice.” she did have a point but I wasn’t the type to admit to be wrong.
“well don’t get your hopes up.” I warned instead. She rolled her eyes.
“so optimistic.” she muttered. We walked out the door and made our way to school. Passing groups of teens who instead of walking to school were hanging out at the corners of streets. Most people walked to school since the school was the center of town so most houses were walking distance unless you lived out in the country you didn’t have to ride the bus.
“Did you see that hot guy!” a girl dressed head to toe in pink squealed to my worst enemy Britney. She was a brunette with long legs and perfect body with gray eyes. But she was evil. She took joy in peoples misery. I walked faster not wanting her to turn on me and Emily luckily she didn’t notice for she was to busy absorbing this information. Already planning how to get him curled around her finger. The girl who had told the news instantly got sad already knowing her chances were none of getting him she was going to claim him. I shook my head.
“Can you believe that?” I said disgusted
“What?” Emily asked.
“That everyone would fight over some guy no matter how hot he is. I just don’t see what’s worth it. And how can Brittney think she can just get him without even saying it and all those girls just give up like that?”
“Because this is high school and she rules it.” Emily answered but then grinned.
“Although who would want to rule a bunch of hormonal teens?” I laughed.
“Yea I know and she thinks she’s got it good.” Me and Emily laughed all the
