The Lost Lunas Mates

Choices

I couldn't thank this stranger enough for how she had treated me. She had made me feel more welcomed in the 30 minutes I had been in this store than I had felt my whole life. Plus she trusted me, a complete stranger, to return this beautiful dress. That in itself was amazing.

I know it sounds stupid but I wondered if this is what motherly affection felt like. I wouldn't have a clue on that one as ive never felt any but the warm feelings I got from her made me feel beautiful and cared for. I know its weird but that is honestly how im feeling right now.

I stepped out of the dress and handed it back to Miss May and she walked away and started to steam the dress before putting it in a royal blue dress bag. As she zipped it up I was abit sad that I would have to give it back at the end of the night but for one night only I could be like Cinderella and live out my own moment of pure happiness.

Amy came wondering over to me and asked "what's got you so glum chum?" I had to giggle at her silly rhyme. "Im just sad that I have to give the dress back at the end of the night but at least i have a dress now" I said more cheerfully.

Amy grabbed my hand and dragged me to the accessories to look at shoes, bags and jewellery. It was all stunningly beautiful. I had enough spare money, well I would need to find a job fast to make sure, to get a small emerald green clutch bag that had rhinestones all around the edges and a cresent moon in the middle. They were silver coloured and as they caught the light they reminded me of a dark stary night. I chose a small chained necklace and bracelet with tiny green trees and leaves scattered around them both so they hung beautifully againt my skin. I found some black small heeled shoes. They also had what looked like a moon on the side but this time in gold stones.

I looked at Amy who had a dress shoes and all the accessories she could carry walking over to the counter to pay.

Miss May gave her a big smile. She handed all of her items over to Miss May and she steamed her dress placing it in the same type of dress bag as mine. She also placed all of her other items in a bag with the name of the store in gold letters on the side. She then packed mine and before I could get my cash out to pay Amy put her card against the machine and payed for it all. She looked at me with a smile and said "Happy birthday missy" I couldn't help but smile and I gave her a hug but i did wonder why she did that for me. We had only met anyone hour ago and she was treating me like a best friend. She hugged me back and we said goodbye to the now smiling Miss May promising to have the dress back by lunchtime tomorrow.

Amy asked if I wanted lunch even though it was getting later in the afternoon now. I said no because we would be eating later. "Stay there give me 2 minutes" She said as she rushed off. I decided to do some window shopping when I saw a man staring at me.

He had dark hair and was much taller than me and built like a house. He definitely looked much older than me. Why did he seem so familiar to me? I think he was probably just staring because I am a stranger in this town. There doesn't seem to be a huge population so a stranger would stand out like a sore thumb.

I turned back towards the shops window and I spotted the most beautiful wooden carved wolf statue. It was so intriguing. It clearly said in big letters not for sale decoration only in big bold letter. Seeing how beautiful it was I could understand why it was not for sale.

You could see it had been hand carved with exacting precision. Every part of it stood out and then I looked at the eyes. They were the same colour as mine and even had the gold ring around the pupil. Then it occured to me that they were my eyes it was like looking at my own eyes in a mirror. I couldn't stop staring at it. Why would it have my eyes? Ive never met anyone with eyes like mine. The whole thing was beautiful and a little confusing.

I was still staring when I was startled by a females voice saying "Beautiful isn't it? It was commissioned by the Betas for there lost child. That has been there for 15 years now. Thats how long she has been missing" I turned so fast i almost tripped into the girl stood next to me.

"Buzz off Felicity" Amy suddenly said in an annoyed voice. I swear she came out of nowhere. I was abit taken aback by the annoyance in her tone.

"Im going im going bye both of you" the young girl said in an all to chipper tone and waved her hand as she walked away. I sensed some hostility there but I wasn't going to question it as I was only here for a few days and it really was none of my business.

"Close your eyes and open your hands. Please dont fight me its just a little something for you" So as instructed I did as I was told. She placed a small box in my hands and told me to open my eyes. As I did I saw a small cake box. I opened it and saw the most delicious looking chocolate cake and the words Bellas 18th bday in tiny writing and a single candle. She lit the candle and proceeded to sing happy birthday to me in the middle of the street telling me to make a wish as I blew the candle out. I wished I could know more about what was happening although I kept that very muchly to myself.

Im pretty sure I was now a bright shade of beet red and I know I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me whole. "Thank you Amy for my cake and embarrassing me so publicly" I said with laughter in my voice. "Haha you are so welcome" she laughed out.

"Ready to head back?" I asked and she nodded at me. We walked back to the Inn in comfortable silence before separating when we reached the desk. "Do you need help getting ready? I have make up and hair stuff if you want" Amy shouted over her shoulder sounding rather hesitant. "Yes oh yes please im abit useless at the girly stuff" I admitted a little embarrassingly. "Give me 5 minutes to get my stuff and I will come to your room to get ready" "Ok and thank you Amy"i said quietly. "Don't be silly you dont need to thank me. It's what friends do and I assume we are friends now we have had fun picking out dresses and I got you a cake and we have spent some time together without fighting. I dont have many friends so I hope we are friends and we will be for a long time" she blurted out in one breath. I looked at her and laughed a little before saying "yes we are friends now hurry up im actually excited to get ready now" she jumped up and clapped her hands before running off towards her room or living area I assumed, only because she said give her 5 minutes.
