In The Eyes of Luna
We where asleep in the halls when I heard people shouting about land. I woke up the other girls and we asked some of the guards what the problem was. They where happy and cheering about land. They where so happy that the guards gave Lorraine, Val, and I Lobster and butter that had been stored on the ship. “Is there enough of this stuff for everyone on the ship?” Lorraine asked the guard after drinking some coconut milk. “No, all the guards and sailors decided that you three gave us the less trouble and didn’t moan every night and day.” he told us as he sat down beside Lorraine. He was a young guard, a lot younger than the others. His name was Stefan, everyone could tell that he and Lorraine liked each other.
“Why is someone so young a guard on a ship?” Valerie asked the guard.
“I’m not a guard, Valerie. My dad is friends with the captain actually they use to work together, I’m an immortal just like you. Dad said that I could be with immortals or I could stay trapped on this ship.”
“Which one did you choose?” I asked Stefan curiously.
“I don’t know yet. All the kids on the other side don’t like me and I get sea sick.”
“Why don’t you come with us?” Luna jumped in.
“I wouldn’t want to get in your way.” he said innocently.
“No, it would be no problem!” we all said.
“All right it’s settled I’ll stick with you guys.” he agreed with us.
Later we where sitting together eating cooked sushi and telling scary stories laughing at how lame Val’s stories where. Stefan had started sitting with us every day and night, he only left when it was time to eat, but he came right back with the freshest fish on the boat. He was fun to be around. He wasn’t like Damon hiding things from us he was really special and meant a lot to us.
In the Eyes of Valerie
The boat started shaking and people where screaming. We had hit a rock and water was filling the corridor where we where chained.
“Lorraine! Give me your dagger!” I shouted to her.
“You have a dagger!?” Stefan looked at Lorraine as if she had lobsters coming out of her ears.
“Of course she does. Now can we move on here!?” I said impatiently.
“ Luna burn the tip!” I told her.
I picked the lock and rubbed my wrist for it had been chained to a clamp for months and it was sore. I ran over to Luna unlocked her. She blew onto one of my arrows and through it to Stefan. He unlocked Lorraine and she hugged him. The ship was sinking and we had to get out. We ran through the halls splashing water every where. Wedecided that it would be safer to fly than swim. We grabbed on to each other and took off. None of the others made it, but since they cannot die for all we know they are now on the bottom of the ocean chained helpless to the side of a sunken ship. Land was far but it was visible. We had never flown that far and I wasn’t sure if Luna was going to make it. Her flight pattern was off and she would drop every so often. We took terns helping her up. My wings where getting tired, but we where close enough to land that my wings could hold up, but I’m afraid that Luna’s couldn’t.
“There might be people on shore. Everybody come to me!” Stefan told us. We gathered and instantly we became invisible.
”So that’s your power.” Lorraine said in approval. He nodded, but we couldn’t see it because he was invisible.
”Fine don’t answer me.” she said angrily. He tried to explain that he nodded, but she wasn’t listening. The land was close, we flew to a spot that looked like forest.
It felt nice to be on land. The smell of the pine trees and the wild flowers in the bushes and on the ground smelled sweeter than anything on that boat. There was a clear river and a water fall. We took showers in the water and dried off with giant leaves. There where no bugs and no snakes. It was perfect.
We sat on rocks and decided who was to do what. I had a bow and arrow which came in handy to catch animals for food. Luna has fire breathe that cooks the meat and purifies the water. Lorraine has got a dagger and you can guess what that’s for. Stefan has no tool, but he sets the traps. Dinner is a thing which we skip a lot for we can’t hunt at night for darkness. Stefan is the one who catches fish he cleans them and debones them he is great at it. We call him cap’n crunch because he is so gentle with the fish that it seems to crunch in you mouth, it sounds gross, but it tastes sooo good.
A week after we reached Europe, Stefan and Luna had gone out to find some berries. It usually takes them a couple of hours to get enough for all of us.
“Hey, doesn’t it bite how we have weapons and Stefan and Luna doesn’t.” I said to Lorraine.
“Yeah it does.” she said while washing her face In the water.
“Is the fire still stoked?” I asked her with a devious look on my face.
“Yeah, why?” she said curiously.
“Because I think that it’s time we made them some.” I said with a big grin on my face.
We gathered some materials. The cave that we stayed in when it rained had silver in the back it was enough to make two swords. I heated the silver and started shaping it into a beautiful long sword. We took the jewels from our necklaces and put an emerald in the handle of the sword and her dagger. We had enough silver to make another sword, but we where afraid that it would weigh Luna down when she tried to fly. I started sculpting and decided that I could make her two silver rings that would work like flying blades. I encrypted letters into her rings, one ring said fire heart the other said ice burner.
“Hey guys we brought back some really fresh berries!” Luna called to us.
“We made you guys something!” Lorraine said to them
“What did you make us?” Stefan said eagerly.
“Well actually Val did it all.” she said innocently.
“Ok Ok enough chit chat now come see what I made.” I butted in.
“For Stefan a sword.” Lorraine said excitedly.“This is so cool!” he said while giving her a hug. ”Thank you, Val.”
“You’re welcome Cap’n.” I said proudly.
“You forgot about me!” Luna said with a fake cry.
“No we didn’t. For Luna to silver throwing rings.” I said while handing her the rings.
“What do they do?” she asked while examining the rings.
“Throw one at that wall of vines over there.” Lorraine said smiling.
“Okayyy.” she said while throwing the ring. It went straight though them and came straight back to her. She caught it on her wrist as if she had been choreographed for months.
“This is so brilliant!” she said while jumping up and down.
Now that they had there weapons it was easier to hunt. We could get stuff out of the tops of trees and we could climb things that we couldn’t fly to. Ever since we gave Stefan a sword he thinks that he’s our king and every time we say “NO!!!” it’s pretty funny. We all are great friends, but I think that Lorraine and Stefan are pretty close.
In the Eyes of Lorraine
Val made Stefan and Luna these great weapons that have made life sooo much easier. Stefan has this beautifully chiseled sword that he doesn’t go a day without cleaning it. He took one of the animals from the forest that we had eaten skin and created the most beautiful case for his sword. Luna’s rings are the coolest things that I have ever seen. The rings are strong enough to cut through rock, yet she handles them so graciously. She practices for hours every sun set while Val practices her archery. My dagger is great for carving, sometimes I right stuff into trees and the inside of the cave as I wait for the others to come back from hunting usually they rotate so that to can be at camp. Val is the one who stayed home to day. We make stuff while we wait for the others. Luna, Stefan, and I have all agreed that Val is the best candidate for leader of us. She is brave, smart, and she is not afraid to stand in a tree and shoot anything. Tonight we are going to throw her a huge feast a tell her. I am so excited about it. Luna and Stefan are going to get the best food while I keep Val preoccupied. I wonder what her story is. Stefan says that I give her too much credit, but do I? Ever since she came screaming down our corridor I all ways new the Val was going to be a cool person Wait a minute where is Val?
In The Eyes of Stefan
We all voted for Valerie to be the leader and her secret dinner was tonight.
“Hey Stefan, we had better head back before it gets to dark to see.” she shouted to me from the top of a tree.
“Yeah, we’ve got enough of food to eat.” I called back to her. The forest in the area was thick and it was hard to see where As we arrive back into the camp, we found Lorraine running around frantically. She looked as if she lost something very important.I ran up to her and asked,” What are you looking for?”
“Valerie! She’s gone!” she said running around.
“Are you sure?” Luna said while cutting down some vines.
“Do you see her?” she said sarcastically.
“Well sorry.” Luna said back.
“Will you both chill out!” I said while holding them apart.
“We need to find her!” Luna said while bushing through some bushes.
We all started shouting her name and looking around for her. She wasn’t there. We looked and looked yet Valerie was not anywhere.
“Lorraine, you and Val are best friends right?” she said to Rainy.
“ Yeah, so?” she said scratching her head.
“And Valerie’s power is brain communication right?” she said while waving her hands around.
“Yeah, and your point is?” she said aggravated.
“Well call her name through your mind!” she said while imitating an American accent.
“Ohhhhh!!!” she said.
Lorraine started thinking, we asked her if she got anything. She found out where Val was!
In The Eyes of Valerie
I had felt someone calling me. A voice that was so strong that I could feel my feet pulling in closer to the water. We where not in Europe and we never where. I heard my friends calling for me in a desperate attempt to find me, but I couldn’t come it was as if some greater force was telling me not to. I flew around the place we where staying and noticed that we where on an island surrounded by the ocean and no life other that the surviving immortals and animals.
“Valerie, where are you?” Lorraine cried in her thoughts.
“I’m on the edge where we landed.” I called back.
Soon after I told her, they where right behind me. They scolded me for not answering and I explained what had happened. I explained to them about the island and told them that tonight we would make a plan to get back to civilization, because I had a feeling that we where going to be headed into a lot of trouble.
“Valerie, what where you thinking?” Luna shouted at me. I shrugged my shoulders and kept walking towards the cave. When we arrived there where unfinished decorations and a full cooked feast waiting there. I turned to Luna and asked her what was going on and she said that I would have to wait. I am one of the most impatient people ever to walk on this planet. It killed me, but they would not tell me.
In The Eyes Of Luna
As we arrived into camp, Val was hysterically begging for us to tell her, but her impatience was getting on my bloody nerves. Stefan and Lorraine where egging it onmaking her quite unpleasant. In Britain I was the girl who had little patience and here where ever we are my patience was not any greater. I turned around sharply and shot my rings up in the air and cut off a cluster a vines. They fell on top of the three’s heads and they fell down in shock. I laughed from the stupid face and smiled al my own brilliance from thinking of that dirty trick so fast. They where mad at me, but it was there on fault.
Times where tough in the forest, but they would get better for a celebration had started. We sat around surrounding a large dinner, Stefan dove in like a pig and Lorraine watched closely and when he spit water on her she moved beside Valerie. Stefan taped on the table and stood up.
“I would like to make a toast to Valerie Di Angelo.” he said proudly.
“Me, why me?” Val said puzzled.
“Oh, Brilliant Stefan you forgot to say what she was being toasted for.” I said.
“Stop it you two. Why don’t I tell her,” Rainy said. ”Valerie, we have gathered here today to show you our appreciation and to tell you that we have elected you our new leader.”
“There was an election?” Valerie said confused.
“Yeah there was, but we decided to keep it a secret since the vote was unanimous.” Stefan said as he pulled out his sword. We all pulled out our weapons and laid them in front of Valerie. She handed them back to us and thanked us. We ate the food, it was the best we had had in a very long time.
“We have to make a plan. This island is not where we are supposed to be.” Valerie said to us.
“What do we do?” Stefan said curiously.
“I don’t know. Wait! Luna do you still have that ring?” she said eagerly.
“Yes, but which one?” I said to her digging through the pouch that Stefan had made.
“The one that goes on your finger.” she said running towards me. It was on my finger at the time.
“Yeah it’s on my finger.” I said showing it.
“ Read what it says!” she said eagerly.
“Fire on the stone will break the frozen in time.” I read out loud. The ring sparked a little.
“No, read it in the strange language.” everybody stood up and ran to me.
“Ish tala de huk shamore.” I said and the ring little up like the fire in my breath.
Valerie grabbed my arm and moved it down as if to open a sealed door. A gold line came down with the ring. Stefan took his sword and pried it open. We ran through before the door sealed back together. Everybody had wings and wore the clamps that we had seen on the ship.
