Keeping her safe from the Dragons
Once upon a time there was a girl named Luna and a boy named Chris. They had no idea that either knew each other even existed until one day fate brought them together. So our story starts with Luna walking home one day from hanging with a friend she had her phone in her pocket and was listening to her iPod she was about to change the song when she ran into someone and they both fell down and her necklace fell off. It was her fatherâs dragon ring and she never took it off and she didnât realize it fell off.
âOh, Iâm so sorry I wasnât looking where I was goingâ Luna said pulling out her headphones
âNo, itâs my fault I wasnât looking where I was goingâ Chris said as they looked up at each other
âOh, Hiâ he said looking at her
âHi, Iâm Lunaâ she said as they stood up
âIâm Chrisâ he said as he extended his hand
âNice to meet youâ she said as she shook his hand
âNice to meet you alsoâ he said as they dropped hands
âLook Iâm sorry, but I really have to go. So Iâll see you around sometimeâ she said as she walked home
âYeah byeâ he said thatâs when he noticed the necklace and put it in his pocket and walked home.
Sorry to interrupt, but let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Luna which means moon in Spanish. I donât know why my parents named me that but they did Iâm a senior in high school which means Iâm almost 18 and Iâm going to go to college soon. I live with my mom and step dad Kyle in a little town called Stone Heaven, Maine and we live right on the river bank and we live on a horse farm, we have 3 horses and my baby is Midnight. I practically raised her from the time she was a colt. My dad left me and my mom years ago and for all I care he can stay away I never needed him in my life anyway.
The next morning when Luna got up her parents were already at work so she was home alone she brushed her hair and put it in a messy bun she was about to eat a bowl of cereal when there was a knock on the door.
âWho could that be this early?â she wondered as she went to open the door to find Chris standing there âChrisâ she said as she looked down at what she was wearing sweat pants, a tank top and her snow boots.
Sorry to interrupt, but itâs my turn to tell you about me. My name is Christopher, but you can call me Chris. I live on my own and my mom lives down the road from me and my dad died just a little over a year ago. Iâm 18 and I graduated high school last year and Iâm taking a year off from college. I live in our little town of Stone Heaven, Maine since itâs just me I live in a small condo on the edge of the river across from Bridgetown, Maine. I canât wait to leave this little town and get away from it all, but all thatâs about to change. I also bought my own house with a barn and everything, I also help my mom make payments on her little house just right down the road from me.
âHiâ he said as he looked at her, blushing
âWhat are you doing here?â she asked looking back up at him
âOh nothing, I was in the neighborhood and thought Iâd stop by. May I come in?â he asked pointing inside
âOh sure come on inâ she said moving aside so he could enter âSo how did you know where I lived?â she asked as she shut the door and turned to face him.
âI asked around townâ he said as the stood in the threshold of the doorway
âAh. So is there a reason why you stopped by? Not that Iâm trying to kick you our or anythingâ she told him as she looked at him.
âI think when we ran into each other yesterday this fell off and I thought it might be yoursâ he said as he pulled out the necklace.
âYes it is mine I guess I didnât notice that it fell off thank youâ she said as her hand went to her throat and found the necklace not there so she took it from him and give him a hug âAre you busy today?â she asked after they pulled away from each other.
âNo I donât think so why?â he asked looking at her
âI was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me and watch movies todayâ she said looking at him
âSure sounds like funâ he said as she smiled
âOkay, awesome. Would you like a tour?â she asked as they walked to the living room
âSureâ he said
âThis is the living room and over there is the kitchen and then the dining roomâ she said pointing
âWow thatâs a big dining roomâ he said looking at it
âWe only use it if we are hosting family dinners like Christmas or somethingâ she said as they walked upstairs
âAhâ he said
âThis is my toy room and that would be my momâs new husbandâs man cave. Yeahâ she said pointing
âWow thatâs a lot of stuffed animals. I now know what to get you for giftsâ he said as she laughed
âYeah, Iâm kind of obsessedâ she said looking away
âI can see thatâ he said also laughing
âAnd down here is my room and my parents roomâ she said pointing as they walked into her room
âI like your postersâ he said noticing she had posters and pictures of The Hunger Games, Beautiful Creatures, and Twilight among others.
âThanksâ she said as they walked back downstairs
âWere you in the middle of eating breakfast?â he asked noticing the cereal bowl
âDo you want anything? I kind of was yeahâ she asked looking at him
âWhat do you have? Sureâ he asked looking at her
âI have cereal, eggs, bacon and other normal breakfast foodsâ she said as she walked to the fridge
âIâll have a bowl of cerealâ he said as she handed him a bowl and a spoon and went to the cabin and got out the cereal choices after he poured his cereal they sat at the kitchen island and talked for a while. When they were done they walked to the living room and sat down on the couch.
âWanna watch a movie?â she asked looking at him
âSure sounds like fun do you have Netflix?â he asked looking at her
âYeahâ she said as they looked on Netflix for a movie to watch they finally settled on Footloose during the movie she started to get tired so he leaned back and she laid on his chest and fell asleep and soon after Chris also fell asleep. A couple hours later he woke up and found her laying on his chest.
âLuna, wake upâ he said as she gently shook her until she was up
âHey. Anyone tell you youâre really comfortable to sleep on?â she said as she looked into his eyes
âNot until now and thank youâ he said as she crawled off him and sat at the other end of the couch and wrapped a blanket around herself.
âI liked the movie. Well the parts I was awake forâ she said laughing
âMe too, hey Luna are you ever gonna tell me the story behind your dragon ring?â he asked looking at it around her neck
âIt was my dadâs he gave it to me before he leftâ she said looking at it
âIs there a story behind why he left?â he asked looking back up at her
âNo not really. I was really young when he left, I came home from school one day and everything of his was gone no note or anything he just packed up and left me and my mom. My mom got over it and eventually met Kyle they started dating and then my sophomore year of high school they got married and my dad was out of the picture for goodâ she said looking at the ground and didnât notice that he had scooted closer to her.
âSo your dad just left with no explanation?â he asked as she sat on the arm of the couch
âPretty much, I texted him, but he would never tell me where he was he always said it was too dangerous for me to know. That was two years ago and here it is senior year and no word from my dad againâ she said looking at him.
âThat stinksâ he said looking at her
âYeah, it does, but Iâm kind of over it thoughâ she said looking at him
âSo youâre a senior, huh?â he asked looking at her
âYep Iâm 18 too. How about you?â she asked looking at him
âIâm also 18, but Iâm already graduatedâ he said as he sat his arms on either side of her legs
âLuckyâ she said looking at him
âYeah I guess I am, Iâm glad I ran into you the other dayâ he said looking at her he was about to kiss her when her parents came home
âHoney, weâre homeâ Lily said as her and Kyle walked in and they walked to the kitchen
âHey mom and Kyleâ Luna said as her and Chris walked into the kitchen
âHey honey, whose this?â Lily asked looking at Chris
âThis is Chris heâs a friend of mineâ she said looking at him
âHi, Chris Iâm Lily Lunaâs mom and this is Kyle my husbandâ Lily said as they shook his hand
âNice to meet you, Chrisâ Kyle said shaking his hand
âYou too, sirâ he said looking at him
âHoney, we are going to be having stake for dinner if Chris would like to stayâ Lily said as they put groceries away.
âYeah I would love to just let me call and ask my momâ he said as he pulled out his phone
âOkay we are going to go up to my room, call us when dinner is readyâ she said as they walked upstairs to Lunaâs room.
âOkay, honeyâ Lily said as she started dinner
âHey, mom, Iâm at a friendâs house and they invited me to dinner is that okay?â he asked as he walked into her room and she shut the door behind her âokay great yes Iâll be home before midnight love you tooâ he said as he hung up and put his phone back in his pocket.
âYour mom seems niceâ she said as they sat down on her bed
âYeah she is most of the timeâ he said looking at her
âSheâs a mom so sheâs just trying to protect youâ she said looking at him
âYeah I knowâ he said sighing âHey I was wondering are you busy on Friday?â he asked looking up at her
âUm I donât think so why?â she asked looking at him
âI was wondering if you wanted to go out with me?â he asked watching her eyes light up
âYes I would love to go out with youâ she said hugging him
âI was hoping you would say yesâ he said as she pulled away and looked at him
âI also think I know the perfect spot of where we could goâ she said looking at him
âOh yeah and where would that be?â he asked looking at her
âIâm not gonna tell youâ she said as they leaned in and his lips met hers there was a spark but she didnât care she tangled her fingers in his hair and pulled him closer until he was on top of her he began kissing down her neck and she stopped him and sat up and turned away from him.
âHey, Luna Iâm sorry if youâre not ready I understand just tell me whenâ he said as he went up behind her
