Page 8 - CHASING A DREAM

“So, what’s your name?” Tala asked. “Luna, it means moon,

but the moon has no one in it. Although it is empty, it is

peaceful yet quite lonely there. And you? What’s your

name?” Luna asked without making it suspicious, but Tala

was one step ahead of her. “From the way you already knew

about my ability, I am quite sure you know my name.” she

smiled at her.

They both chuckled lightly, and then Tala spoke up again,

“All right, get straight to it. I somehow have a feeling that

the crying and looking at the helpless part is just a plan;

what do you want from me?” Luna stared at her as

everything she said was right, but how could she possibly

know that? “Well, that’s a bummer. You ruined my whole

plan, but would you believe me if I told you?” Luna asked,

and Tala, in return, responded lightheartedly, “Everything in

my life was all weird and crazy ever since I learned how to

speak, so I guess nothing will ever quite bother me

anymore.” With this, Luna took a deep breath and started

to explain.

They sat there, for a good three hours, just talking about

how and why Luna ended up in the forest that she lived

close to and out of all people, why was Tala, the person

who found Luna.
