THE MOON’S DAUGHTER

TWO

Silver's POV

After our little moment, we walked home together for Thanksgiving dinner.

When we reached home, everything was already set.

Our family was just Isabelle, Noemie's elder sister, Aunt Sonia, their mom then the two of us.

Their dad died 15 years ago from lung cancer.

I still remember the day I met them.

Flashback( the girls were 10years old)

"Mommy, mommy. Look at that puppy. Its so cute. I want it"

"Okay baby. But you have to play first like all the others. "

I pouted. I sucked at shooting arrows. But I'll do whatever it takes to have the puppy.

I tried five times but I failed each time.

Hmph. I stomped my foot. I was beginning to be really annoyed but I also really wanted that puppy.

Suddenly, a girl about my age came by and shot the target at once. The old lady who was giving away puppies asked her which one she wanted and my heart nearly stopped when she took my little puppy.

I was on the verge of crying when she suddenly handed me the puppy. At first, I thought it was just to mock me but then she smiled.

"Take it. You can have it" she said.

"But, you don't want it? " she shook her head no.

"I saw you trying to get it many times but you couldn't so I just figured I'll help you"

"Thank you very much." I said and hugged her.

"By the way my name is Silver. What is yours? "

She smiled and said "Noemie"

Suddenly the puppy started barking and wagging its tail and we both giggled. Then, an idea popped up in my heart head.

"Hey. What if we give it a ship name. "

She raised her brow at me questioningly.

"Like.... silno ugh no way" While I was busy thinking about a name, she suddenly said

"Nover. What about it? "

"I absolutely love it"

We went to show our little Nover to our parents and that was the beginning of a great friendship.

End of flashback

Once we reached the dining room, Noemie spoke up "Mom. She was doing it again. " she said pointing at me accusingly.

Aunt Sonia looked at me and I immediately looked down in guilt.

"Aunt. I'm sorry. I-"

"Its okay dear. I know the importance of this day to you. You don't have to explain. But please stop feeling guilty. None of what happened was your fault Ok. You have to make peace with yourself".

I ran to her and held her in a bone-crushing hug.

Noemie awwed and joined us.

"Hey. Family huggg" Isabelle said and came too.

Yes. This is my new family now. And I'll protect them with my life.

"Okay. Enough of this sad stuff. I wanna eat what our great cook here made for us before it gets cold. "

She said motioning towards me.

Actually, I'm a graduate from Harvard university and I have a masters degree in culinary arts and I proudly own one of the best restaurants in town.

Isabelle is a pediatrician while Noemie is aspiring to be a great fashion designer like her mother.

After dinner, we cleaned up and were about to go and sleep when Aunt spoke up.

"Next Saturday, my friend Cher is organising a soirée in her house. She asked me to bring you guys. She would like to meet you. "

*********

"Noemie stop that. You know I hate makeup. "

"Oh shut up. You have to look presentable. Just do it for mom ok.. Besides, you're 23 with no boyfriend. Maybe you'll have luck this night. Just show all those men what they're missing out on. "

She said and I rolled my eyes. This woman has been nagging me since I know her to find a boyfriend.

"Now, you can open your eyes" she said excitedly.

When I opened my eyes I couldn't believe I was the same girl that sat here an hour ago.

My silver dark hair was curled now and reached my waist. The dark red lipstick only made my silver blue eyes stand out even more. And let's not talk about the smokey eye makeup.

My dress was a long white gown. It was tight fitting at the top and was coated with black lace designs and it was flowing at the downer part.

She also gave me black heels decorated with white lace that were too high for my taste .

Actually, the theme here is Black&white. There are only too lucky invitations with the sign B&W. One for a man and another for a woman.

They are supposed to be the 'couple of the night ' and they are the only ones allowed to dress in black and white.

Yup. You guessed it right. I was the very lucky woman. Ugh. Why me.

And Noemie seemed more excited about it than I.

But still. I wonder who is the man...

"Ok. Time to go" Noemie said and then we headed downstairs.

I heard a gasp as soon as I reached down.

"Oh my gosh. Silver, its a soirée, not your marriage "

I rolled my my eyes and smiled when I saw Aunt Sonia looking beautiful as always in a dark blue gown.

She gushed when she saw the three of us. Noemie was wearing a beautiful red gown with golden lace heels and Isabelle was in exactly the same outfit.

Well, I would've worn that too if not for the special invitation.

We all moved to the limo that was waiting for us outside and got in.

About an hour later, we entered big golden gates and rode in the estate for about 15 minutes before reaching the main house.

I rolled my eyes. Seriously. What's the use of such a large estate.

For some strange reasons, the place gave me chills.

Hmm. Maybe its because of the vast, beautiful and never ending forest behind the mansion.

We arrived and I was taken through a different hallway. Soon enough, I was standing behind big double doors waiting for them to open.

For some strange reasons, I dreaded what was behind these doors.

Or who....

Suddenly, I heard the creaking sound indicating the doors were opening.

Well. Here goes nothing...
