Chapter 5: Luna Moon
Eric looked into the nursery. There she was-Luna.
He didn't know what he had been expecting. of course she was there.
But he still couldn't get it out of his head. Cornelia Goth taking Bryley Maria from her crib when all "Princey" could do was sit there as a doll and watch… it was terrible.

He carefully took Luna from the crib to examine her highlights.
no, he thought. she couldn't be.
she is, Princey. The Witch of the Moon.
"Who was that?" whispered Eric Princey.
Just little old me-Although, you can't call me the watcher. I don't have that title. Call me PJHP.
"Ok, PJHP. What about Stella?"
Witch of the Sun, yes. Now stop asking questions. You always loved the spotlight far too much.
Luna stared out the window as they walked by. Where was Eric taking her? She began to cry.

"Don't cry, Luna." He whispered. "I won't hurt you. You're safe."
He started walking outside. Luna had only been outside once-when she was born, during the night under a full moon.

Where was he taking her?
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
That was it. She had never been away from home. Never. She screamed louder this time.
Luna.
The voice in her head was stern and loud.
You're safe. I would never do anything unsafe, especially not to you. Now stop screaming. It's hurting the taxi driver's ears.
Luna stopped. Something about the voice controlled her.
You're just hungry. we'll feed you soon.

They stopped and got out of the car. there was a great peacefulness about their destination. Luna liked it, especially under the full moon.
Meanwhile...
Anna stood up. "PJHP, what's happening?" she muttered.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
You're pregnant. Nothing to be worried about, You just need to be calm and change into some more fitting clothes.

Hooray! Maybe we'll get the heir this time.
Luna saw the tall weird stone thing. If only she knew how to talk, she could ask her Dad what it was…

It started to shake. suddenly, a translucent orange figure sprouted from it!
She was alone… where was Eric?
"I'm right here, Luna. It's all right."
Eric started talking to it. What was up with him?
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
And, because she hadn't gotten a very restful sleep, she began to drift off…
The next thing Luna knew, she was talking to Ariana. It was daytime, and as usual, she felt less powerful.

Ariana had woken up that morning feeling ill. she didn't feel like getting up, but she had to.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
when she did get up she felt woozy and wobbly.
"Ariana?"
The voice came to her as if through water. The world suddenly flipped upside down.
"Ariana!"
And the world went black.

When Ariana woke up, everything was fuzzy. she blinked twice and stared at the newly focused wall.

Ariana got up and doubled over. She raced to the bathroom as fast as her legs could carry her.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
She vomited into the toilet. Strangely, she felt better!
She suddenly saw double. Ok, maybe not. Back to the bed!

When she felt ready, she meandered downstairs and found soup prepared for her.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Ariana stuck out her tongue. Not her favorite, but she was feeling ok now.

When Anna came home, Ariana felt her pregnant belly.
"Wow… multiples, I think! I'm so excited!" Ariana Squealed.
"Really?" Said Anna. "That's great!"
"Do I have to go to school today?" Said Ariana.
"No, I don't think so." Said Anna. "You might be feeling better, but we shouldn't take any chances. I'll tutor you, though, if that's ok."
Ariana nodded. "ok."
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Ariana smiled at her little sisters. They were polar opposites, but also best friends.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Anna was downstairs watching television.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
Eric was playing with little Luna. They seemed to have a very strong bond now.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
no one was aware that their family was about to grow-by a lot.
