Gaia
While we had been training, Khason had had someone pick up the car and bring it back to the pack house. We ran through the forest, my uneasiness slowly abating as Khason teased and taunted it away. I put my cheer stuff back on to make my way up to my room.
Just like at school, my name was called from every direction as I headed up the stairs.
“Luna Gaia! How are you?”
“Will you run with us tomorrow, Luna Gaia?”
“Hi Luna Gaia! You look beautiful, as always!”
I smiled, waved, greeted them in return. I felt their love wash towards me like a balm for my ragged nerves. Surely they wouldn’t love me like this if I were actually a bad person…right?
I pushed open the door to my bedroom and stopped short. The smell alerted me first, and then the sounds.
Someone was in my room.
“Luna!”
