Chapter Two.
Lost Treasures.

The summer heat was undeniably unbearable. How could it be cold at night but scorching at day? Luna pondered which dress to wear, but came to the conclusion that all of her summer dresses were either flower patterned, pink or so long that they dragged across the ground as she walked. She didn't want to wear any of them but couldn't exactly run around in her nightgown, so she put on a lace white-flowered dress that was about knee length. She wanted at least three black summer dresses, and decided to ask Jessica to go shopping with her. Jessica always seemed to know how to make even the ugliest clothes look good on anyone. Luna felt a twinge of jealousy in thinking this. She wished to even have just one of Jessica's attractive traits. "Good morning Luna, that dress looks pretty on you, I am almost relieved to see you not wearing black". Jessica noticed Luna's glare. "Oh sorry Luna, did I offend you?" Luna saw Jessica's worried look on her face and almost laughed at how sincere she was. Mabea that's why everyone loves Jessica, Luna knew that if she accidentally insulated someone she probably wouldn't have even noticed. "It's fine Jess, in fact would you like to go shopping with me, I need a new dress and I'm quite sure that you would like some new ones too?"
"Luna I can't possibly ask you to buy me one, they are very expensive, I could never repay you". Luna shrugged. "You wouldn't need to repay me silly, you being my friend is enough. Come on let's go, Jacob can not see me in this dress, he will laugh at me for decades".
"But Luna don't I have work, the food won't cook itself?"
"I believe that you are forgetting that I am a lady of the court, and it is my responsibility to look presentable, and wouldn't going shopping alone be considered improper for a lady my age?" Jessica smirked.
"You really can get away with anything", she sighed.

Soon Luna was running to the stables ready to ride on the first horse she saw. "Luna you're being ridiculous, there is no way I'm going to just practicality rob the stables, besides I couldn't ride a horse to save my life".
"First of all it is borrowing not robbing, also who said you're going to control the horse, never have I heard such nonsense!?" Luna tried to keep a straight face while saying this, but couldn't contain her laughter. "Come on, we are going to be late", Luna nagged. She had chosen a beautiful white stallion, it's hair was soft and reminded her of a thin silk rug. The horse was clearly well looked after, its scent reminded her of a newly flowered rose. Luna always loved roses, Jacob had once described her as a yellow rose, he had said they are not as popular as red roses but smell much nicer. She could picture the memory very clearly, so clearly that it almost felt like she was living the scene all over again. The wind blew her hair violently behind her, covering Jessica's face entirely. Jessica groaned, Luna almost felt sorry for her, but her amusement easily overpowered her guilt. The Hills were a lustrous green with yellow buttercups scattered around in an almost perfect pattern. It amazed her how nature could bring so much beauty in something so simple. She wanted to put her hands in the air, not only to stretch but also just to feel the wind blow against them but knew Jessica would have a heart attack if she let go of the reins. Horse riding had always been a hobby of hers, she loved the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground, she liked how they could hit bricks and make a- she soon realised that there probably isn't any words to describe the sound the hooves...
