My Moon by S. D. A. (a court of thorns and roses ebook free .txt) 📖

day Row! You've fallen on a cute stranger, gone entirely nuts, and have pissed off almost everyone around in one day! You win...ding ding ding: embarrassment! My teeth gritted. They were waiting for me to say something. Great. Sarcasm was totally with me all the way!
Well, they'll have to keep waiting then, I thought smugly.
Tristian looked pissed off, unlike Gran who had on her poker face. It looked like it was forced, when he smiled at Gran. I could tell instantly something was up. I looked at them with lowered lids so I wouldn't seem suspicious. What the HECK was happening?!
"Once again, Mrs.Humphry, I'm sorry for bumping into you guys. If you need anything, you can reach me at O Dea High School, or by my number." he winked.
"Thank you very much, Tristian." Gran stared at me while she was talking. A blush warmed my cheeks. I hated being center of attention...wait, what?! O Dea High?! NO! This was not happening! Could this day get any worse...?!?!
I looked at Tristian straight in the eye, and smiled coyly at him, "You're registered in O Dea? The private school?" My smile was still in place. I knew his secret. He wasn't even registered, I knew by the lists I had gotten earlier. He couldn't have been. I tried not to look smug. I really did.
Oh...This bub gave me a look worth smacking, that took the good humor out of me. The rat was quick enough to hide the expression, too. I tucked my hand inside my elbow, cradling it. It took almost all of my will power to not reach out and smash something. He wasn't even registered... he wasn't. What a fool. Nice try. Besides, since he isn't I don't have a care in the world. I sighed mentally.
"Well, not exactly, but I've been accepted to it, yes." he gave a watery smile.
The corner of my mouth twitched, like my hand. I kept a poker face.
"I'll see you at school then, Tristian?" my smile was still on.
"Yea, sure, bye..." Gran waved as he turned on his heel.
I was almost absolutely sure I didn't know him, and yet his face was so familiiar....where have I seen him before I bumped into him?!? I knew one day I'd take a trip to the kukoo-room. I guess that day finally had come.
Then he turned once more, and with an evil smile that finally lit his eyes, he said, "Oh, it was nice to see you again, Rowan."
My mouth fell open, the smile gone. Brinnnnggggg! Hello? Yes, this is insanity. You've been on our list for quite awhile and it's time to renew your registration, etc. No, really. I've OFFICIALLY GONE INSANE TO THE POINT OF EXPLODING! I don't even know him and it's like we've been enemies since we were born. So freaking complicated.
What I did know, was that I never saw a twisted rat named Tristian. At least that's what I kept telling myself. Ironically enough, I just thought, At least I'm not the only new kid... I laughed out loud. He stared at me, a small smile curving his lips, though it didn't reach his eyes. My heart flipped, What a... Pfffft. Like I've ever met him before. He walked away,and he didn't turn back.
That wasn't the last I saw of Tristian, if I only didn't care... but I doubt that would've changed our future any other way.
Thank God I Make A Mean Pie

On are way home, Gran went kukoo.
"Rowan Walker, I swear to Zeus, you are in so much trouble!" she said calmly. I flinched back. When she was quiet she was hard not to get any angrier.
"Gran, you know that's not fair! I mean, I'm normally a klutz!" I insisted. I was slipping up, trying to fix the 'bad attitude'. Oh brother. Speaking of which, I turned in my seat to stare at Lewie. He stared back, and when Gran's full attention was on the road, he winked.
The all so heroic Lewis leaned over my grandmother's seat to pat her shoulder reassuringly. Somehow, it didn't reassure me.
"Now, now Gran. You know perfectly well how stupid and idiotic our Row is. I see this as a minor setback," where was he going with this? Oh no, he's just gonna make this worse. Internally groaning, I facepalmed myself.
Lewis was going on and on about my balance issues. All of a sudden, I had an urge to thump him. This wasn't going to well, and my instincts told me it was about to be like ugly on a freaking ape. "I bet it's just puberty!" he chortled. Gran repressed a smile, and lil Benny shook his head at Lewie, giving me a go get him, get him good look.
I smirked at him raising a fist. He pounded it back and we laughed at the one out of a million chance of Lewie getting away from my perfected roundhouse kicks unscathed.
Gran looked at my face in the rearview mirror. I smiled.
She sighed in exasperation, "Oh alright! You owe me an apple pie tonight kid."
YES!! I'm off the hook! Fanfares cheered in my head.
In synchronization, Ben and I stared at our big brother. He looked back, looking a little scared. We grinned evily. Oh well, at least I had a gift for making some mean pie! If I didn't, then Lewie would've been screwed.
In the back of my head, a voice shouted, Save pieces for us, too! You better or there's gonna be some trouble! Startled, I squeaked. I ignored everyones eyes on me, and in a second I recognized it as Lupin's voice. Deep down I knew they weren't kidding. But were they really real?? Looking out the window, I laughed as I heard the voices in my head list of the pies they wanted. I was gonna have to get used to these new gifts...if I could even call them that.

Happy Birthday To Me~

Part 1

I fell back onto my matress, sighing in exhaustion. Oh gods, what are they trying to do?! Kill me?! Closing my eyes I could still see the dozen pies, all lined up on the counter, neat and ready. Flour, batter, crust, sweat, tears. All had coated my face by the time I was done. Yea, I was exhausted after making 12 freaking different pies!
With the tome and effort, my gift had been a sucess. Now, only six and a half remained. Everyone had a pie each and then there had to be seconds and they attacked a half of MY rasberry pie! Not to mention Hana wanted a piece too.
Why? Why did I go there? Can I go back? Are Lupin and Hana real? These things didn't answer themselves. I sighed again. Three pieces of pie sat on my nightstand. During making all of the pies, I made three special ones. A piece of rasberry pie, filled with baby blueberries for Hana; a lemon custard with stripped bacon and ham in the middle for Lupin; and strawberries on top of mint chocolate piece of pie for the still unknown Tristian.
"Will this help answer my questions?" I said aloud. Slowly, my lids dropped.As if I was being taken over, something inside me pulled at my heart, and with a gasp my eyes shot open. Only did I see everything get dark, and a fiery trail of purple as a Hell Butterfly flew from my chest.
Beautiful------- And I slowly fell into the strangely familliar darkness, as the butterfly flew out of my arms and into the darkness with me. I think I'm getting used to this...

Part 2
I felt something cold press against my cheek. It was not uncomfortable,my skin still felt flush from baking. I sighed. I didn't want to move, I was to content, and for a moment I forgot what I was trying to prove. Until I heard their voices.
Is she ok? She might have sprained something... I felt something soft and warm lean into me. The cold was back on my cheek.
My lady's heart is beatting perfectly. She doesn't look more pale than she is, so...
Both voices were so familliar. I knew the first voice right off. Hana, the swan who meet me my first time here. The second, it was warm and nice to hear. Lupin Lunaer. The wolf who I practically saved a good kicking from, the one who called me : "my lady". Softly, I pressed my self in his fur, feeling Hana's feathers run through my hair. I was in peace for a minute until I heard a quiet but loud enough snort to reach us.
"Trust me. That girl is as tough as nails. She's not a helpless princess, are you sweet-heart?" his voice loud enough for me to hear the venom.
The rat didn't hide his disgust of me. I shuddered, trying not to remember what happened last time. Hana's feathers stopped where they brushed my hair and put a wing over me. She hissed, and footsteps were easy to hear in the darkness. Lupin moved closer, growling enough to scare me being so close. I cringed and he stopped with a huff. A tear escaped my squeezed eyelids, falling with a pat. It stung my still hurt cheek before it finally fell.
It was loud enough to fill the darkness when the steps stopped. I opened my eyes to catch a glimpse of Hana as she silently locked gaze with him. Then she looked at Lupin. Quietly for only Lupin's ears and mine, she whispered, Its ok. Lupin? What's he up to?! Rowan, be sincere.Keep your head, please.
I nodded. Up on my feet, I turned to meet the pain-in-the-ass's glare. His eyes widened and he smirked. I brushed my tears away, hiding the action by brushing my hair.
Raising my chin, feeling like tough nails, I said dryly,"Nope, not as pitiful as you would think, huh, darling?" I made the end sickly sweet with a tight smile. Feel my bitchy wraith, you jerk. I couldn't help grinning, a chuckle slid through. His gorgeous eyes went from silver to black, narrowing.
"Well! Enough chit-chat!" I clapped my
