After, our time in the "library" we decided to help the village finish up their last finishing touches before the sun finally sets.
"Hey, where have you guys been?" Jason asked, while we stacked firewood.
"We, uh we're in the library." I replied.
"In the library?"
"Yeah. Since we missed out on a lot of school, we found some books that we could study from." Theo said.
"Really? You guys don't seem like the type to study"
"How dare you assume!" Luna argued.
And they both went on arguing.
Twilight had called us for some kind of meeting. so we met her in the meeting room.
"Good evening, children." Twilight looked a bit exhausted and tired. probably from all the work she had done today and all the orders.
"Good evening, Twilight." I replied, "You wanted to see us?"
"Yes. Sit down."
I wonder what she needs to tell us.
"As you know, we are in the middle of a battle. As for that we still don't know what Alex is planning to do, since we haven't seen him for quite a while. I want you all to be aware of your surroundings. Alex could be hiding something or planning something we wouldn't expect."
"We will, Twilight." I promised.
"Good, you may go now."
We got up and headed upstairs to our rooms.
"That was what the whole meeting was about?" Theo asked, annoyed.
"Well what were you expecting?" Lucas asked.
"Maybe like what we're having for breakfast tomorrow?"
"You've got to be kidding, right?" Luna asked.
"Maybe..." Theo spoke, sheepishly.
We all laughed at Theo about his hunger.
After, washing up and getting ready for bed, we planned to stay up and get to know each other more. I learned that Luna loves playing the guitar, Lucas is on their schools basketball team and in his words "very amazing at it," which made Theo and Luna laugh. And Theo is a person that loves to explore, even though he's scared of his surroundings most of the time.
As for me, I didn't really have much to say. I never really done anything throughout my life. I only went to the library when I wanted to get away from reality and climbed trees. Not so much interest there.
Lucas, Theo and Luna kept going on about their memories at school and suddenly I feel left out. I've been alone for so long, I don't even have any memories that I enjoyed. Until I met Luna, Lucas and Theo. They gave me an opportunity to open up and make me feel that life is filled with struggles, but you are the who has to make your own path and find your way around those struggles.
"Hey, Gabriella? Are you ok?" Luna asked as I drifted away from my thoughts.
"Oh, yes I'm ok" I replied giving her a hopeful smile, "just lost in thoughts."
"Ok" she didn't look convinced, but she didn't pressure me either, which I was really thankful for cause I really didn't want to talk about that sort of things at a happy moment like this.
We ended up staying up until midnight. I was surprised that Twilight didn't barge in through the door shouting at us to go to bed.
We had said our goodnights, or mornings, I'm not sure which one is it.
