Moonshadow by T.A Perue (books to read to improve english txt) 📖

very gorgeous man standing in front of me holding out a necklace with a cresent moon and the words LUNA in bold letters, dangling from the chain that held it in place.

 

"I believe you dropped this earlier." He said his voice harsh, and strong, somewhat mysterious.

 

"I...I think it is thank you." I said studdering horribly

 

"Well you can have it back if you want... Luna, right?"

 

Wait what how does he know my name i thought to my self, oh duh the necklace has my name on it, of course.

 

"Umm, yeah I'd like that, thank you... Mr."

 

"Tristian" he said "Tristian Snow."

 

I grabbed my necklace from his hand, and secured it back on my neck, I wonder how it even came off. Due to the fact i remember hardly anything from bumping into to him.

 

"Oh well nice meeting..."

 

Then suddenly I looked up and he was gone just like before no trace of him anywhere. I turned to look at Ella who was looking at me with her giant bright blue eyes, hinting a look of wonder and amusment. I'm sure I had the same look she was wearing but with even more wonder, he seems very mysterious, he also is very good at disappearing with out anyone even realising where or when he left. But this time I'd remembered every moment of him being there, his smell and the look in his eyes when they finally met mine, it was like a fantasy or a dream. I felt like no one else was around, like I was sucked into Tristian as if he were something I'd seen in my dreams. Actually I'm pretty sure I have seen this man in my dreams, am I going crazy I wondered as I seriously thought about the reaccuring man in my dreams and connecting all the similatries he has with Tristian, which turned out to be an exact match. I had been seeing Tristian in my dreams since my last birthday Oct 31st, 2019, and now I have a name to put to a face, one thats been in some way or another haunting my dreams since I turned 16....

 

 

 

 

Chapter 2: Mysterious Tristian Snow

"Ella! ELLA!" I yelled, she was half way to her car before I could catch up.

 

"Oh hey, I forgot about you, sorry todays been really off."

 

"I know exactly what you mean, I almost forgot to go to our last class today." I replied.

 

"Weird!" she said "Me tooo!"

 

"Huh, well maybe we just shouldn't have gone!" I said with a loud chuckle.

 

Of course Ella shot back with a "Luna, that's horrible!" laughing even louder than I.

 

"  We should probably get going now." I said as I reached for her door handle.

 

She grabbed hers too and we hopped in her car, it was cold, fog had set upon the windows as our body tempature acccelerated the tempature of her car. As Ella turned her car on, the fog disipated, her cars defroster worked really well, so did the heater it went from freezing to warm fairly quickly.

 

While we were driving, I had Ella put on some Wildlight so I could sit back and think about this man now with a name that had be reaccuring in my dreams for the past twelve months. I wondered why I'd been dreaming of him, espically out in the woods in the freezing rain. It always started with me walking towards the woods, it starts raining so I start running searching for cover under the trees. When I get to the spot where the rain is barely noticable I sit on a tree stump with my knees pressed to my chest then, I start to cry, I turn around at the noise of branches breaking beneath someone or somethings feet. I look around to see nothing, nothing at all, suddenly I feel a heat radiating from behind me on my back like somethings breathing upon me, and as I turn around this time I see and man in torn up clothes bleeding from his shoulders, with slash marks where the blood dripped from. The rain beating on him clearing the blood as he walks closer. Finally he stops and falls to the ground, he looks up pleading for me to help him, so I start walking towards him the heat eminating off of his body, and then I stop I just look down at him, then finally I reach out to him, all of the sudden his wounds are healed and he is staring into my eyes with such love and sincerity, then it's all gone I wake up.

 

When we pulled up to Ella's house I got out of the car and started to ask " So whats the plan??"

 

She didn't reply. So i asked again. " So whats the plan Ella?"

 

"Oh sorry, I'm not sure yet, maybe just hang watch some tv?"

 

"Sure I guess." I laughed.

 

When we got inside she finally asked if I was ok. She knew about the dream and how it had been reaccuring every month for the last year almost, she always wondered what it was about too, if there was a deeper meaning to everything I'd seen in my dream. I'd been thinking hard and decided that maybe this Tristian knew the deeper meaning of my dream, maybe I should ask him, but then again I didn't want to come off as a total weirdo. Would he think it's weird if I told him i'd been dreaming about him for a year and I barely even met the guy a few hours ago, if you can even consider that meeting someone. So, I decided I wouldn't ask until I got to know him a little better, maybe try to hang out, or even better invite him to my Halloween party!

 

I'd never thrown a party, let alone been to one. I was reclusive and mis understood by most, I'm not sure why. Ella always says it probably because I'm pretty, but such a nerd. I had long blonde hair reaching the small of my back, a round face with light green eyes, small lips and a cute button nose, my build is small, standing at 5'4 only weighing 110 Ibs and my skin white and soft like snow. I didnt think I was anything special, espically compared to Ella. She stood  5'7 slightly taller than I, with a small figure as well, but her hair was black like the night. She had giant blue eyes, a cute nose, and lips you'd die for. Her hair was always curly, she always wore it half up half down, plus it was all the way to the point where her back met her giant butt, which was something I envyed about her too, beside her lips and her brazillian skin. She was beautiful, and of course since she's where I got my style from we dress similar, I love black, and grey so thats mostly what I bought and wore, her as well. Honestly most of my clothes are from Ella's closet, she always had handme downs to give me which I liked because I hated shopping. Ella has a debit card so she just shops for me online when she sees something I'd like, like this necklace, the one with a cresent moon and my name, Ella had bought it for me for my birthday last year, I'd never taken it off since that day I promised i wouldn't, until it fell off today bumping into Tristian. I love this necklace and I'd never intentionally take it off, it made me feel safe and protected, which was its purpose according to Ella, and quite honestly I believed that it worked. Which also leads to why I'm such a nerd according to her, I watch Si-Fi, read books, do my homework, I obviously don't party, nor have I ever had a boyfriend or even my first kiss, which I cant blame Ella or anyone for that matter, I'll admit that I am definately a "nerd" so they say. As I was thinking about everything I decided to ask Ella what her plan was for the party, my party...

 

"Soooo, have you decided a theme for my party or themes?"

 

"Hmmm, I was thinking like Vampire, Werewolf, Frankienstien? I don't have a clue." she laughed.

 

"I like the werewolf idea, but i dont know how anyone would dress up for that....hmmmm." I said thinking of a plan.

 

" We could have a costume party, maybe?"

 

"I don't know Ella! I've never even had anyone but you in my house, I don't know who to invite. Who would even come no one really knows me." which was a lie because everyone knew Ella so everyone in some sence at least knew i exsisted.

 

"Really Luna, everyone who knows me knows who you are silly. Which is alot of people, hey maybe you can invite that new kid, whats his name.... oh yeah Tris."

 

"Tristian." I interupped, Ella shot me a look, then spoke.

 

"Oooooh, you like him, DON'T you!"

 

"I don't even know him Ella... yet." I added before shutting up.

 

She looked at me and let out a small chuckle followed by "yet.... so you are inviting him?"

 

To be honest I didn't really know if I was inviting him or not, or let alone having a party. My parents already gave me permission and booked a hotel for the weekend, this year Halloween and my birthday fell on a Saturday, which made it so much easier to throw a party, even though I have permission.

 

Chapter 3: Burning Alive

When I woke up I looked around, not remembering I had stayed the night at Ella's, I reached for my phone under the pillow to see how many missed calls I'd have from my parents. Like always two from dad, one from mom, and no voicemails, so I checked my text messages, of course,

 

Mom: "Where are you? Your fathers called twice, call us back when you get this."

When I finally finished reading, I stepped into Ella's bathroom to make the call to my parents, I doubt they were that worried and I'm sure Mrs. Evergreene had already gotten a call from them to check if I had stayed. Which I was right, right before I started to redial my mothers number I got a text reading;

 

"Hey Lu, Ava called and let me know you were with them at Ella's, love you have a good weekend! We will be leaving tonight if you want to come home after school? We have a suprise for you."

 

I texted back saying "Sounds good mom
