Luna has always been the girl who came to the university with three other girls who just like her, were extremely intelligent. They neither stayed for long and even though they did different courses, you'll find them waiting or walking together to their car. They were known to be either or not friendly but one thing, they all agreed was that the girls were more than just beautiful.
" Hey, sorry as usual he wouldn't allow me to go if I don't help the rest to get the right results as he supervises" Aria , also known as Cart C said the last word in a stretch as she rolled her eyes.
" More like you're the one teaching him too since he can't also figure it out, Am sure Chloe was also given some task over the weekend just like the rest of us?" Lexi, Cat B asked before turning they all turned their heard in Chloe's direction before rolling their eyes in sync and laughing out.
Their weekends seemed to be always packed with lectures who always think they're too stupid or not too much to figure out they want them to do their researches for them in the form is assignmens but what those greedy lectures and professors don't know is the girls figured it out just as it started.
Luna drove them to the house as they bashed to the music in the car as they sand along the song. Their house was at the outskirts of Miami, but just like fifteen minutes away. It was a beautiful apartment in the middle of a few stretch woods and they had ownership of the entire property and how they had it is a story for another day.
" Whats on for tonight Luna? Still going for it or just staying at home?" Chloe aka Cat D asked when they got out of the car.
" No not tonight, let's leave it for tomorrow " Luna said and they all agreed.
" Any clue about Master?" Luna asked after they got inside with the same look they all have on their faces the past couple of months since he disappeared into thin air. They searched everywhere but it seems like he completely disappeared the face of the earth like he never existed to begin with.
The rest of the Cats, gave out a sigh as they all looked disturbed. Luna stood in front of the computer as she twisted the half crescent pendant around her neck. The girls watched her intently as she moved from the computer and into her room but she didn't forget to tell them that they'll have to discuss another strategy that night.
....
Luna sat on her bed with her face cupped by her hands as she briefed in the emptiness. It's been ten since since she got to know her master and just like that, he disappeared without a word or trace. The worst case scenario can happen but he's the strongest person she has ever seen.
Once upon a time, the eight year old her sat under the big tree at the park when she heard the most patient voice in her life.
" Little miss, why are you here alone" he asked his voice calm and patient. It was one of those days that her foster mom made her stay out since she didn't want to see her when her father wasn't round.
" Me?" Eight year old Luna asked with a dry throat.
" Yes, are you here alone?" He asked again and she bobbed her head.
" Why? Where are you parents if you don't mind me asking?" He said as he lowered himself and sat beside her on the ground.
She kept quiet for a long time and he also waited patiently before asking.
" What's your name young Miss?"
" My name is Luna. Luna Grey" she answered a bit hesitany as she watched him quietly. She should have been scared but instead she felt safe and peaceful.
" Okay Luna, thats a good name. A half crescent" he said with an easy smile and eight year old Luna also smiled.
" You think so?" She asked as she finally relaxed.
" Yes and Luna, do you want to be Strong?" He asked and watched as she looked at him a bit curious and confused.
" Strong?" She asked, the curiosity in her eyes shining.
" Yes, Do you want to be strong so that you can protect yourself. If yes then would you like to be my disciple?" He asked again but this time very cautious of his words as if afraid she'll turn him down.
" Yes" she said happily even though she barely understood the word disciple and it's implications.
After that he gave her a candy and told her to always meet him at the Sam place every four pm and as she turned and headed back to the house, she couldn't help the excitement. It was the happiest day of her life.
The next day, eight year old Luna went to the meeting place with hopes to seeing him there but he wasn't. She became extremely sad as she sat on the ground and waited but every minute felt like forever when he didn't appear.
Luna then placed her head on her knees and sobbed. It's true no one likes her not even the stranger uncle. Her foster mom always said that to her but her foster that, whom she actually takes as her biological father always told her that she was the most loveliest being in the world and that she's everything to him.
The young Luna doesn't remember how long but a huge shadow covered her as her sobs lessened.
" Hello, little miss" He said in that calm voice which she immediately recognized.
" Are you crying little Miss?" He asked as he knew in one knee in front of her.
" I thought you wouldn't come" she said with a sob.
" Why wouldn't I, it's just a few minutes to the meeting time. When did you get here?" He asked calmly.
" After school" she muttered.
" That means you didn't know the time, you don't have a watch?" He asked and she shook her head as she sniffled.
" Okay no worries. Am here now, stop crying and let's get you stronger" He smiled and she bobbed her head as she stood up.
