บททั้งหมดของ Becoming Luna: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Hearing of the creatures that created the Elders counsel was nothing compared to actually seeing them.  Sitting right in front of Danica were mythological beings that up until five days ago weren't supposed to even exist in her world.The harpie Rebecca had taken her seat already between a man with a youthful face and long blonde hair and a man with short dark hair with a blindfold wrapped around his eyes-or rather eye.  Beside the blindfolded man sat a little fellow with a long nose and large ears whose skin held a greenish hue, he opened his mouth to yawn showing sharp little teeth.As Danica continued down the line her eyes fell on a woman with a rather large hat over her head and sunglasses.  Despite not being able to properly see the woman's eyes Danica knew that she was studying her curiously.  At the end of the line was a man with long brown hair and goatee.Smiling the man at the end stood and strode forward pulling Mason into a hug l

A bowl with a strange swirling liquid sat on a wooden table in front of Danica.  The liquid would apparently determine whether or not her blood held the line of the rogues in it.  At least that was what the Elder standing in front of her had said.As Arlo had explained to her, they would need to make a small incision in the palm of her hand and allow her blood to intermingle with the liquid.  If it remained clear and unchanging then that meant her blood was clear.  However, if it turned black that meant she had rogue blood.The thought of inflicting pain upon herself scared Danica, but she had no room for argument.Looking to Mason who had returned to his human form for comfort Danica held out her hand to Arlo who had a dagger at the ready.Searing pain shot through Danica's palm as the cool blade sliced her skin allowing her blood to flow freely into the bowl below.Everyone watched intently as her blood turned into a red cyclo

Danica puffed as a fist slammed against her stomach causing her to double over gasping for air."AGAIN!" Chris roared from his place on the sidelines.It had been a week since Danica had arrived at the training grounds and her life had become an endless cycle of sleep, train, bath, eat, and repeat. Despite her being new to hand to hand combat they still insisted on putting her up against seasoned fighters, making her training that much more difficult.Now she faced off with Chris' mate Bella.  Bella was one of the strongest female warriors that Mason's pack had, and Chris had insisted that she was the best candidate for Danica's training."DON'T GIVE HER ANY OPENINGS!" Chris continued to bellow as Danica lifted her arms to protect her face from any incoming punches.After the first few days of learning Danica was starting to become acquainted with Bella's fighting style.  She could for the most part tell what she was about to

A fist came flying straight at Danica's face and her defenses were completely down.  It stopped an inch away from her nose before being drawn back entirely."You're not even trying." Bella complained as Danica continued to zone out.  "What has gotten into you?"It had been a few days since her visit with the shaman and his apprentice, despite the time that passed she just couldn't bring herself to focus on anything."Sorry, let's go again." Danica said out of habit as she did a poor job of trying to put up her defenses.Tsking Bella turned and stormed off leaving Danica all alone on the training grounds.  From the sidelines she could see Chris eyeing her in annoyance.  Feeling out of sorts she dragged herself over to him preparing herself for the onslaught of insults that were most definetely about to come her way."Lay it on me." She huffed as she arrived in front of him.  "I know I deserve it."Chris didn't speak a

Day turned into night as Danica continued pushing forward, only when her lungs and body could no longer withstand did she finally stop. Leaning forward with her hands on her knees she greedily sucked in large gulps of air as she tried to take in her surroundings.  Surveying the area she determined she wasn't near the training grounds or the barracks anymore, that much she was certain of. Instead she found herself deep in the woods and had no idea which direction would lead her back to where she came from.Laughing inwardly she plopped on the ground and mentally kicked herself for being so impulsive.  She had thoroughly managed to get herself lost.Not wanting to stick around too long Danica pushed herself up and began walking in the direction she was pretty sure she had come running from.  Worst come to worst she would end up even more lost, best she would at least find a road or something to indicate exactly where she was.
