48 Chapter 31: Already Home

Chapter 31 and it's the last one. :(

Luna's eyes widened as she ran outside into the bright sun. As she looked around, she could see a variety of things but the one that struck her with the most shock were the dozen werewolves that were running from the house.

Luna ran to the edge of the house, her blue eyes widening as the wolves that had attacked her and her friends minutes ago leaped over her and her family, desperate to escape whatever threat that had threatened their lives.

"What are they running from?" Alyssa asked, as she held onto Luna's arm. The Frost family was leaning against the wall of Thierry's home while the furry bests leapt over them toward the gates, not one pausing to attack the humans.

Luna shrugged, knowing exactly what they were running from, Drake.

"Luna, Alyssa!" Mrs. Frost screamed, running over to her daughters and grabbing onto them. "What's going on here?"

Luna turned to answer her mother as something roared, loud and terrifyingly. Luna flinched and found herself running away from the safety of her family's hiding place to out in the open.

"Luna!" Alyssa screamed, as her sister kept going, turning and throwing the side door open, then running through it and through the barren halls of the mansion. She needed to get to Drake, and fast.

She turned down the hallway that shed learned lad to her bedroom and through the open doorway, staring in horror at the scene in her room. The roof of her third floor room was gone, and through it she could see a large black creature that she hadn't seen for weeks.

"Luna!" Someone yelled and grabbed onto her, pulling her out of her room. Luna turned and saw it was Lord Thierry, looking down at her with anxious eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Luna answered Thierry's question with a question. "Is something wrong with him? Why did he roar like that!"

"Thea and Gillian are helping him return to his regular state." Thierry assured, placing a hand on her shoulder while his eyes widened in shock. "What happened to your arm?"

Luna looked down at her arm, where three thick red marks ran across it between her elbow and wrist. From this angle she could only see that they grazed the top of her arm, but now as she looked, that they nearly had scraped completely round it. "I got scratched."

"We better get it fixed up." Thierry said, and she could tell something was wrong; his eyes were fixated unhelpfully at her arm, her now dripping and red arm.

"Thierry." Luna said and Thierry moved his gaze to her face, while she pulled her injured arm behind her. "I'll take care of it, you should check on Drake okay."

Thierry nodded and Luna could tell that he had regretted staring at the blood, he couldn't help it, he was a vampire for crying out loud, yes he'd been alive for more years then she could count but still, blood is blood. He ran back through the open doorway and Luna walked over to the nearest bathroom, cleaning out her wound with cold water and grabbing some white bandages and wrapping them around her arm.

Her blood was already starting to spot through it, no matter how many times shed wrapped it but it would have to do for now, she had things she had to do that were more important then her now, like explaining to her parents what had just happened.

When she walked out of the bathroom, she saw that her room had been emptied, but the remains of her things were destroyed. With a shrug she walked through the barren halls, looking for the rest of her friends when she finally heard the faint buzz of voices from another room.

Luna pushed the door open quietly, as all eyes turned to her while her own widened. Alyssa smiled at her and stood up, walking over to her sister and grabbing her by her good arm and pulling her over to one of the couches were poppy and James sat. Everyone of the other Night Worlder's looked completely unscathed from the battle, and stopped talking when shed entered the room.

"What's going on?" Luna finally asked when the awkward staring and silence had become too much for her to ignore. "Is everyone alright?"

"Everything's fine." Mr. Frost said smiling at his two daughters. "We were just talking to Thierry about bring you home in a few days."

"Excuse me?" Luna asked, completely caught of guard. "Haven't we already gone through this? I'm not-"

"Luna." Poppy interrupted laying a pale hand on her arm. "It's safer for you there. Somebody obviously wanted to hurt you so you and a few of us are going back with you to make sure that you're safe and watch over things."

"Coming back with me?" Luna repeated.

"Yeah," Lupe said with a grin. "Gillian, David, Lucas, Drake, and I are all going back with you to North Carolina."

"Seriously?" Luna asked, looking between her friends who al nodded. "That's awesome, but are you sure? Did you all finish with high school?"

Gillian rolled her eyes. "Nah, David and I are still juniors, and Lucas is in the same grade as you. Drake is probably going to pass of as a junior with us though."

"Isn't this great?" Alyssa asked, leaning in to whisper into Luna's ear. "Now I can get the real scoop on you and Drake."

Luna rolled her eyes and looked between her family and her friends. In a few short weeks, she had been through so much. She'd joined the Night World, and became a member of Circle Daybreak and now she was going home, with her family, her adopted family actually.

"When do we leave?" Luna asked, as she looked down at her hand, which still held onto the tiny silver moon.

'Tomorrow," Mrs. Frost replied. "Then we can all finally go back home."

Home, Luna thought. To bad I'm already there.

Aw, it's over… now I'm tempted to write yet another sequel, why can't I ever write just one book and have it start and end? Because I'm awesome, that's why. Lol review and be patient for the second book.
