Chapter 1:
Old hag's haven
Creaking doors,Dark sky,A full moon...
Luna walks aimlessly into the woods, dazed and shut eyed, bared foot in a snow white night dress,her dark curls falling wildly around her face.The wind howls carrying a hefty storm about.
Deeper,darker and hollow is the path to the Old hag's haven.It calls to her every night as the moon rises in the east, sitting pretty in a starless sky.
Moist fertile ground, fed with the flesh of men and strengthened by the bones of warriors, painted with the blood of new borns. The trees hold their peace in anticipation as she walks on, whispering in curiosity.
How the hag hasn't asked for her soul just yet...and fed their roots with her blood, churns at their roots. She is close,a few steps to that creaky door and deathly dark house where only the sound of the hag’s rocking chair echoes.
Luna’s mother calls out to her from her sleep.
"Luna!!!! you get yourself out of that bed and quit being lazy." Grunting awake she awake tosses in her bed, gets down, finding her feet stained with black soil.
Sleep walking had become her nocturnal hobby, since they moved up the mountains three weeks ago.
Luna stares back at her wild reflection holding a toothbrush to her mouth, getting ready for school wasn’t the best highlight of her day but here she was grinning at herself, wondering why she never gets into that creaky house.
As frightening as the house may seems,it called to her every night. Turning around she finds a black crow staring back at her.Tilting her head,her curls bouncing along with the short movement, she observes the bird and the bird, her.
Caught up staring at the bird, barely aware of the drool pooled at her feet, her mum stands akimbo behind her obviously frustrated.
"What's your problem again Luna?!"Her mum inquires,looking exhausted with eye bags lacing her eyes.
"Sorry mum I'll be out in a second, did you see that black bird?" She turns to her mum with toothbrush in hand.
"What bird? Luna get dressed,you're running late. I wonder what your problem is these days?!"
She Pivots out of the room leaving Luna to her thoughts of how she's gone crazy and what she could wear to school, it’s fall season anyway.
