The sky become dark and the atmosphere getting colder. While the yacht travelled to the place that it wanted to go, the moon emerge on the lonely night to give some hope around. She saw how the moonlight enlighten up the entire place. The dark surface of the water become a path of light toward the moon because of the light rays that it made on the surface. She was amazed to the beauty that the moon shown to her. Because she was Selenophile, she loves the moons better than the other things above. She did not know how she admire the most the round light things above. She smile and her pain sudden disappears as she saw the aesthetic beauty of the surrounding.

Suddenly, she felt that there was someone behind her and as she about to look around, she saw Brian carrying some drinks and snack to her. " Wanted some more? " Brian asked. As he added he place them at the table. " It's better partner while gazing the starry night. Celyn smile and said, " thank you Brian for the snacks." Brian sat at the next chair beside Celyn and stared at the twinkled star that kept on shining. " Tomorrow I'm sure that we are in my island and I hope that you like it..." Brian uttered.

"... " Celyn was speechless but she give a sweet smile toward Brian. Even the yacht was moving, the moon seemed like followed them where ever they go. Celyn excitedly made a glanced at the showering meteor that fell above. Thousand of lights were shone and her soul felt like floating in the cloud nine . Even her heart was filled by despair, she choose to smile and let the destiny takes her whatever it wanted.

"Ahm, Celyn, are you going to sleep after watching the night?"Brian sudden asked. Celyn smile and uttered," yes but I will refreshed myself first." Brian nods his head and smile." So, I will be with you this night to make sure that you will never intend to jump on the sea." Brian jerky said. "Insane, hahahha." Celyn laughed echoed in the entire deck.

The noise of the surrounding made Brian to awake. There were some tourist that played with the huge waves that rolled in the sea. "Wake up!" Brian uttered to wake up Celyn. Celyn quickly opened her eyes and she heard the laughter of some men and women. She rubbed her eyes by her candle like fingers and looked around.

"Where are we?" She sudden asked. Brian stood and said," We are in my Island...the place for fun and games!"Brian proudly stated. Celyn smile as she about to stand and fixed herself. " Wait me up, I'll just call Diana and Will." Brian added. "Okay, I will fixed myself first." Brian ran away and Celyn left at the top deck of the yacht. She saw the sun burning it's rays in the sky. She walked toward the terrace of the yacht that viewed the people that made fun in the sea. The children were playing volleyball and building sand castle at the beach. She was happy staring them that time.

She stepped back and made a couple of stepped toward her room downstairs. She was about to open the door when she saw the Brian and the other two talking. She walked toward them and joined to their conversation. " I need to prepare first my things that I needed to bring to our journey, ahmm if all you are bored all of you can walk around to see the beauty of this island." Brian stated. They were all agree at the end and after they fixed themselves, they go outside the yacht to walk around the shore.The sun was high as they reached the shore and the laughter of the people getting louder as they walked closer to them. Brian ran away and his footstep mark on the sand.

Will and Diana together with Celyn were walking until Brian came back. "Diana, Celyn, can you wait for me I feel that the nature calling me right now!" Will uttered while holding his tummy so hard. Diana and Celyn secretly laughed to the action of Will. " Okay will, make it successful whahaha!" Diana mockery responded to Will. However, Celyn still quite while wearing smile on her lips. Will ran away while holding his stomach. Diana wags her heads while laughing. " He is so jerk." She muttered. They walked around while watching the people that making fun around the shore.

Suddenly, Celyn saw a woman dancing near the shore. She kept on dancing while wetting herself by the wave that you he'd her body. She was wandered why that old woman move like an tribal dance. She raising her hand and moved her palm so gently. She kept her eyes on that woman without blinking of her eyes. " Celyn what are you looking for"? Diana asked as she saw Celyn focused her eyes at somewhere. " Ahmm what she doing?" She asked while keeping her eyes on the old woman. Diana billowed her eyebrows and shrugged her shoulder as she stared at the direction where Celyn focused on. "Celyn, what are you talking for, there is no one at that place...look it gently okay." Diana said with wandered. Celyn blinked her eyes but she did not saw again the old woman." Ahmm...s-sorry maybe it just my imagination." She said.

When Diana was away from her, she looked around to make sure that the woman was real and it not just a part of her imagination. She slowly walked toward the place which she saw the woman who was dancing. The noise of the people sudden suddenly disappeared and the place become silent as she reached the forest like edge of the shore. She was alerted and slowly making an stepped. She looked around to know if there were someone at that place, but the silent of the surrounding told her that she was alone.

As she was walking, she felt that her heart beats abnormally, she wanted to make another stepped but the sand wanted to clench her feet to avoid her to walk. She look on the left side of that place but she saw a dark forest instead a coconut village and as she turned at the right side she saw a towering mountain instead the sea. She was scared and her knees were trembled in fear. " What happened? W-why I'm here!" She muttered herself.

She wanted to scream but she could not make any words to comes out in her mouth. On her mind crying for help. Her tears drenched on her cheeks and her heart popped out. Suddenly, she heard the whispered of the wind telling her some words that so unfamiliar to her. She was clueless to the meaning of the sounds. Her eyes widely opened because of the frightened that she felt. Her sweat drenching cold through out her body. Her breath was gasping and even how many times that she forced herself to move, she could not make anything to execute what she wanted to do.

Her body become weak, her conciousness was scaping to her body and every time she looked around, she felt dizziness seemed like she was at the roller coaster at the children playground. She suddenly laid on the ground and she everything around become murky. However, her ears heard everything around, the noise of the nature and the whispered of the wind.

" Daughter of the moon... your destiny nearly to happen!" The sound of the wind told her and she clearly heard that sound.

A moment later and the silent of the surrounding embracing her and she did not heard anything.

"Wake up beautiful princess of the moon!" The voice of an old woman was heard that made her to wake up. She opened her eyes but she still saw some murky image of an old woman waking her up. She blinked her eyes and stared at the blurbed face of that woman. "Come and continued the written destiny of your life!" The low pitch of the old woman made her to billowed her eyebrows and forced herself to wake up.

"..." She was speechless because even a words she could not scape to her mouth. Her throat was dried and felt like she wanted to dip her fingers to wet her tongue for a while.

"You are not a human! You are not a human! You are not a human!" The screamed of the old woman echoed on her mind. She did not know why that woman telling her that she was not a human but she was empty minded to the meaning of the words because she felt like dizzy that time while lying on the sandy ground.

She groped anything around her but only sands and pebbles were there. She moved her body but there was strong force that wanted to keep her on that position. "You are not human...you are the daughter of the moon...your destiny will take you in the truth." The old woman repeatedly tell to her. She did not know what was going on. She felt that the sharped nails of that woman touching her neck and the pointed nail that she have pierced on her soft white neck. She wags her heads to removed the hands of that woman to her body but it seemed like it's clenching her neck into hardest. " I need to kill you before it's too late!" The whispered of the old woman made her to trembled in fear.
