When Lunar Wolves Rule

When Lunar Wolves Rule: Part 3(Second Part)

I Get Answers…and More Questions

It wasn’t hot, yet I was sweating like crazy. I was nervous, Kimmy had called me earlier this morning to meet her in town square. She said, and I quote “I’ll explain how I knew you were a Lunar Wolf, come to the square plaza at 10.” Then she just hung up. I sat on a bench near where we first met. I hoped she knew where to find me, because she hadn’t exactly said where in town square. When she spotted me she ran over with a man following her, he was completely out of breath, mumbling something like “How. are you. so fast, you're the size of an ant!” Then once he caught his breath he said proudly “Micheal, personal butler of Ms. Kimmy.” I just nodded, still a bit distracted then I turned to a very excited Kimmy and said “W-well? You g-gonna explain?” She just nodded towards Micheal, and ran off into the crowd, I followed. Once we had lost her butler she bought us some cotton candy. “Ok you know how there’s fairies and magic and stuff,” I nodded. “Well a while back my family made a truce with the fairy queen, and every 3 generations a female child is granted the ability to see magic… AND YOU’RE COVERED IN IT!” I probably had a confused look on my face because she said “Each type of creature has its own unique color, but only Luna Wolves have several different colors, and you…there are so many colors I can’t even tell you which ones.”

“Well t-that clears that up, b-but why are you keeping it a s-secret, y-you c-could be r-rich if you t-turned me in?” I said, my stutter got worse the more I talked about it. Kimmy shrugged and said “Not that kind of person.” For the rest of the day we just went around playing games and eating sweets, and every now and then running into a very upset butler. While we were getting root beers some kid (ok he was the same age as us but he acted like he owned everything) walked up to us and said “Well, well if it isn’t the Kimmy the Dumbo!” Kimmy just turned around and rolled her eyes. When I turned to see the kids face it turned from taunting to shock, he had white hair, with emerald eyes, he was maybe an inch taller than us but he acted like he was a giant. He quickly caught himself and said “Well… who’s your dumb friend?” This kid was a total jerk, and he was making me angry so I said “How am I the dumb one, Kimmy the Dumbo, what kind of mocking name is that?” “Shut it, shrimp!” He said with anger in his voice, but there was something else. . .protectiveness? I just couldn’t place it. Then Kimmy said “Beat it Juno!”

“Nah, I’ll stay… although I did run into dad and your butler, I’m sure they would love to know where you are.” He said with a mischievous grin on his face.

Kimmy clenched her fists, “Fine! You can hang with us but you need to keep that dumb mouth shut!” He made a zipping motion over his lips, and gestured for her to lead the way. For the next two hours we just hung around, and every so often having to run from a mad butler. We were playing a ring-toss game when a familiar voice said “LILAC! What did I say about hanging around strangers?!” I jumped and spinned around to see Nico, he was frowning and staring at Kimmy and Juno like they were gonna eat me “Th-there not strangers there my… fr-friends!” I said. He looked at Kimmy then his eyes settled on Juno, “Fine but I don’t trust this white haired kid, so I’m gonna shadow you guys.” he said, still giving Juno his best death stare.

Kimmy smirked at Juno and said “Serves you right, snowflake.”

“Hey! I didn’t do anything! So shut your yapper!”

They started bickering until Micheal and a man, who I assumed was Kimmy’s dad, came running up to us. Kimmy shoved Juno in front of her, trying to hide. And her dad said in a calm but firm voice “I said stay with Micheal! Do you have any idea how worried I was!?” I chimed in “W-well, sir she wa-was just trying to help m-me.” He obviously hadn’t noticed me before because he seemed surprised when I said something. “A new friend of Ms. Kimmy,” Micheal whispered in his ear. He nodded, “Well I don’t have any other meetings for the afternoon, so I suppose I could stay with them. Also I don’t like you being around boys.” But the last part he said so no one could hear him. The next couple of hours were a blur. Nico stayed quiet, watching Juno very closely. I nudged him with my elbow, and said, “Stop, I know wha-what y-you're doing!” He looked at me and said “What are you talking about? I'm just, um, measuring the kid.” “For what!?” I said in a whisper-yell, then I paused “oh! No! Stop being so overprotective!” He just grinned and said “Arrow game, Ima win you and Kimmy something.” He went over to the arrow game and got every shot, the game attendant just stared wide eyed. He got Kimmy a stuffed panda, and me a stuffed wolf, then Kimmy whispered to me and said “Is he mocking you?”

It was now 11 and I was exhausted. Dad had called Nico to the hotel, I asked why but he wouldn’t tell me. Kimmy, her dad, and butler had gone home as well because she had a test in the morning, so it was just me and Juno. We stopped at a grass patch and Juno said “Lunar wolf, there something else, eh?”

“Wha-what?”

“Yeah I know you're a Lunar, you radiate power,” he grinned at me, “But don’t worry shrimp, I’m not gonna tell.”

Once I got back to the hotel Dad was sitting at the counter rage typing, I smirked and said “Da-daddy, mom to-told you not t-to ra-rage type.” He just turned and smiled, “Where have you been?”

“I made some new friends!” I said sleepily.

“Go get some rest.”

I didn’t argue, but just as I was about to close the door to my room I heard dad say ‘We need to stay here, It’s safer.” Safe? Safe from what? I thought as I crept closer to the main area. “She’s growing up she needs to be around more people like her “I heard mom sigh “I know…I just don’t want her to get hurt, that's all.” I heard dad walk over to mom and say in a very soft voice “She won’t, she has us, plus Nico…I’ll train her. She’ll be fine.” Mom and dad trudged off to their room. I went into my room, and hopped into bed. What would hurt me? I thought as I layed there, then a memory from my past life came to me.

I was being yelled at by my dads secretary, about not being ladylike, and having to not be so childish. I darted up, then my phone rang, it was Kimmy's number. When I answered it Juno said “Hope I didn’t wake ya up shrimp, just calling to check in on ya,” Then in the background I heard Kimmy say “Gimme back my phone dummy or im telling mom!” I said “Wait, are y-you and kimmy re-related?”

“Shocking, I know. STOP PUSHING ME DUMMY!” he said. After about thirty minutes of them bickering and me laughing at them we ended our little talk. I layed on my back, when I heard a ding. Juno had sent me a picture with Kimmy yelling at him, and him grinning like a doofus. I giggled and thought Maybe this move won’t be so bad after all.
