Sabrina
I hear the back door open and I see Genesis appear. ” Oh hi” I smile at her. I feel myself get tense so I turn back to the dishes and continue to scrub. I finish the last plate and I drain the water. I walk back over to the table where Luna is sitting to quickly check on Fenella. ”Thank you so much for holding her again. I just feel awful that I missed out on all the preparation everyone has been doing. I just had to do something useful”
Luna
I smile and place my hand on Sabrina’s arm. “You’re more than welcome dear. It wasn’t a bother, really. Anytime you need to hold her just ask.”
I sigh and look down at Fenella. “I guess your big sister wants you back,” I say and look back up with a smile.

GENESIS
I don’t know why but I’m startled as Luna speaks to me, then childishly I roll my eyes at her. “I still don’t know what you’re talking about. We talked business.” I feign ignorance, giving her the partial truth. As I turn away from her I nearly bump into Sabrina. She’s real short with me, giving a brisk hi and goes on about her business. That was weird.
Maybe it’s all in my head, I shrug going to check on the orange dream bars. They will settle nicely at Devon’s before tonight. “I’m going to head home,” I announce, mostly to Lily since we’re partners in the dessert business. “Thanks so much for helping me out. You’re good company.”
Sabrina
I smile at Luna ”Is it okay if you hold her just for a little longer? I just have a few things that Devons asked me” I blush as I worry I’ve asked for to much. Before Luna has time to respond Genesis announces she’s leaving and addresses a girl who’s still sitting at the table who’s name addresses. ”See you later” I turn back to Luna. I feel myself become annoyed but I just smile at Luna anxiously waiting a response. I know why I’m annoyed and I feel quite embarrassed for being so. I just know it that Genesis and Corin weren’t only talking business.
GENESIS
“Okay, see you guys tonight.” I try to stay cheery, but Sabrina’s see you later isn’t all that warm. Not the parting I’m used to, at least. She doesn’t even look at me, her focus on Luna with Fenella as I gather some things and head out the door. It leaves me with a sad feeling that I try to shake off as I head for my lonely, little house.
Through the streets I try not to think about Corin or Sabrina or anything but tonight. Tonight is what was important, I tell myself. That was until I seen the missing flyer for a face that had become all too familiar to me these past couple of weeks. Shit.
Luna
My hand is still on Sabrina’s arm when she asks me if I mind holding Fenella longer. I laugh and roll my eyes wit ha smile so she knows I’m not annoyed. I move my hand to her shoulder and gently rub it. “I told you already before, I, DON’T, mind, at, all” I emphasis playfully and giggle. I find myself still rubbing her shoulder when GIgi tells Lily she’s leaving and says she was discussing, “business,” with Corin. We all know that’s a crock.
I can feel Sabrina’s annoyance.I add a little bit of pressure to rubbing her shoulder to calm her down. I give her a gentle kiss on the cheek. “It’s alright. She’s just flustered and anxious. When you’re done with your tasks, I can come to your place and do up your hair for the feast tonight.”
Slow your role Luna. You just met this beautiful woman yet, Oie, I have a crush already.
I hear Fenella getting fussy. “Oh, fizzle. Sorry little one,” I say to Fenella. “I think she’s hungry. Do you have a bottle for her?”
@Eagle
Sabrina
I’m relieved when Luna tells me she’s happy to hold Fenella. I feel her rub gently on my shoulder and I smile at her. Thanks
I want to tell what I’m feeling but I barely know her. She kisses me on the cheek. Gosh why is she being so sweet to me For some reason I feel the urge to kiss her on the forehead but before I do Fenella becomes fussy. Without even asking Luna knows why she’s fussy and I make my way towards the my bag and got out her bottle. I heat it up and test it. ”Perfect” I make my way toward Luna. ” If you want you can feed her”
I take the bottle from Sabrina and smile. “Thank you. I would love to feed her.” I smile and hold the bottle to Fenella. I wait until she is suckling on the bottle before looking back up at Sabrina. “I want you to know, it means a lot that you trust me so much with your sister even though we JUST met only a couple of hours ago. Truly it does,” I say with a smile.
She seems to trust me in a way that should actually take time. I am glad for it but also taken away by it.
“So would you like me to do up your hair before the feast after you’re done?” I ask. “And if I need to put Fenella down for a moment while you’re busy, like if I need to use the toilet, where would you like me to lay her?”
@Eagle
Sabrina
I thought about it for a moment. Last time I had my hair done was by my Mum for my Aunts Wedding. I think fondly of that memory. She wasn’t exactly the stylish type but she tried. She wanted so desperately to do my hair well. Spent about an hour. In the end it actually looked good. I remember the soft kiss she gave of my forehead as she thanked me for being so patient with her. I could tell how flustered she was. At the time she was 4 months pregnant with Fenella. I smile **”Yes please. If you want I can do your nails.” **.
Luna
I smile when she accepts my offer and offers to do my nails up. Fenella finishes her bottle and I lift her up to my shoulder and start patting her back to burp her. Everything I learned in that baby care class I took to help care for Lorcan came naturally to me. Glad to see I could put it to use.
“That would be fantastic. Let me know when you’re done with everything just come get me. We can go to your place so that you can change. I’m sure you’ll want to. Don’t let me hold you up any longer,” I say with a smile.
Sabrina
I look a Luna endearingly. ”Thank you so much”
I hurry off and continue cleaning things that Devon has asked me to.
Evening
With the hall set up and everyone making their way to the school it’s time for the party to commence.
Devon
" Pratt, come on, these are the last two ones. " i look at my friend, while grabing one of the wagons full with food. Oh shit, the party has already started and i want to get this done and just sit down and relax for a moment.
Eve
I place the last 2 plates on the table. The party has started a few minutes ago and one by one the kids arrive at the school. Hopefully the others will be back soon and we can serve everything.
I leave the room and walk out of the door, seeing more and more coming from all the corners of the city. Normally i would like to hide myself know, but i need to admit that i feel good today. Like the others it have worked hard and can have a party and some food now, not stealing, no hiding, no bad consscience. I breathe deep and look into the direction where Devon and Pratt should appear any second.
„ Look who is back…“ i hear a dark whispering voice from the side and feel me getting goose.pimples… it’s him.
Prometheus
I didn’t see Luna when we left. I heard she was last seen with Sabrina. They hit it off right away. faster than usual, even for Luna. Of anyone, I’m glad it’s her she hit it off with. Sabrina is one of, if not, the sweetest person I know. I am sure though, Luna has a crush on her. I guess we’ll see later. Something tells me, they’ll be arriving together.
I’m heading to the party with Devon. We’re bringing the food and some other party favors in carts.
“We got a lot of people showing up. I thought we invited the folks from town. Not the whole damn city,” I joke.
As we get closer to the school, I see Eve standing outside looking our direction. Great, now we’ll hear about how we kept her waiting.
Bo & Dyson
Over the course of the day, Dyson and I kept popping out into town, searching for Claire. My head was all over the place, I feared where on earth has my sister gone, and worried when I wasn’t at the bar/home if anyone were to break in.
Heading for the harvest at the school, again I felt those same feelings. It was most likely probably the longest I was leaving the bar unattended. I ensured the locks and bolts were all secure.
Briskly, Dyson and I headed to the school, he wouldn’t stop pulling. I kept telling him to stop pulling, but he just wouldn’t listen. This could be a good sign, maybe he has picked up Claire’s scent, she is fine and safe at the school? It was a rather windy evening so I was happy to arrive at the school to get in the warmth.
Standing inside the hall, Dyson and I did a loop of the hall hoping to see Claire, but there was no sign of her. The small desk still was plonked against the wall, with her rucksack beneath. This broke my heart. The guys who had set up hadn’t moved a thing and had in fact put a couple of posters above the desk, and had constructed a list of times for search party’s commencing from tomorrow if she was not to show for the harvest. I recognised them from earlier and thanked them, and they informed me there still had been no sign of her. I really hope my sister is alive, and not hurt. Someone must have seen her, or knew of her plans to leave? Moving to the entrance of the hall Dyson and I stood waiting as each town member entered. I asked them the same thing over and over and every time the answer was no. The next person stepped inside.
"Evening, have you seen my sister? She has been missing for the last couple of days." I flash them the ‘missing poster’ showing her gorgeous face.
Tag to @anyone
Devon
" We invite everyone arround" i answer Pratt with a little smile was we were half way there. " It is important to tsay in contact with everyone and maybe find some new helpers for the farm." i add on as the school and Eve comes in sigh. But something looks strange there.
Eve
" Go away" i hiss at him as he steps out of the shadow, trying to sounds as serious as i can.
" Oh i will, but first you will tell me where you have all this food from. " he grins at me.
" Go away" i look him straight in the eyes, trying to stop my body from shaking.
" Oh come on, this that how you treat an old friend?" he whispers and grab my arm.
" “let me go…” i scream and pull back my arm…
Prometheus
I see someone talking to Eve and then I hear her shout to the guy to let her go. I get a better look and he pulls her again. “I don’t think so!” I shout to Devon. I let go of the cart and take off after in the direction to stop whoever this asshole is.
“HEY!” I shout at him and press the button to unfold my wand and have it in my hand.
Devon
" Hey wait " i run after Pratt as i also hear Eve shouting. We came closer and i watch the guy, it was the sae Person like the last time she got attacked…
Eve
I get free but he grapys me again, harder, stronger, it hurts… Suddenly i hear voices, familar voices and i see Prometheus and Devon running towards us. The guys seems as surprised as me, " This isn’t over…." he hiss at me, before he let me go and rush back into the shadows of the school buliding and disappears.
Prometheus
The guy let’s go of Eve and bolts.
“Oh no you don’t!” I shout and continue after him. I almost hit him with my wand at one point but narrowly miss. He turns down an alley way and I find nothing but debris and garbage cans in my way. He’s gone.
I scream, “DAMNIT!” and kick a pile of trash. I fold my wand back up, put it in my pocket and rush back to Eve."
Eve
Pratt runs after him and i still stand there in shock. Hardly noticed that Devon stops by my side.
" Devon
“That was the same guy from last, right?” i ask, while i stop beside Eve and look after Pratt." Are you ok?" i turn to her and place on hand on her shoulder.
Eve
I nod at Devon and take a deep breathe. I look at him and nod again as he asks me if i am ok. " nothing happened." i answer, even if my wrist still hurts.
Devon
" Ok, " i answer, knowing that this would be all i will get out of her at the moment. Hopefully one day she will tell us what this is all about. And hopefully before something bad will happen.
