Chapter 1.1 Is this the beginning?

On the front gate, Stella and Lynx decided to take a break and ask some of the volunteers to take over for a while. They walk at the back of the Orphanage to take a peek on what Lalaine is doing. The kids seemed to be playing around and few nuns are watching over them. Stella and Lynx roam their eyes a little bit more but their blue haired friend is out of nowhere.

"I'll check the Library" Stella said

"She is just probably looking for someone else" Lynx answered. Their eyes suddenly pointed at the man with hair as dark as blood and mood as fiery as the sun. He is tapping his feet, arms cross and eyes that seem to be stuck on the same scene.

"What an impatient fellow" Lynx said as they walk towards Nathaniel

"I can't seem to find Aeriol, he said to meet here and it's been hours" when it was just been a couple of minutes. Lynx wrap his arms on Nathaniel's shoulders as he gently shakes his head

"Now, now." he said with fresh and naughty idea crawled out to mind "Why won't you join us on a game" he said

"I dont condone on any childish pranks or games as such" he said with his nice british accent

"Then what if I told you, it was set by Aeriol" Lynx said copying the accent of Nathaniel's.

"I don't think he have" he replied. Lynx come closer to Nathaniel's ears and whispered "We can't tell Stella, but it seems like Lala is missing. Aeriol is talking with Xeron right now seeking his help" he said eighty percent lie and twenty percent truth. Lynx eyes widened and clears his throat.

"Then, we must go" he said sharply

"yay! Great!" Lynx leap joyfully "So, Stella and Nath whoever finds Lala first wins! Go!" Lynx screamed

"I t-thought---"

"ss-sshh Stella, our dear Nath is helping us." then he winks. In Stella's mind it is like setting up Lala and Nath together. She doesn't really have to find her find her but just to let them cross path together.

"I'll go to the library" Stella shout and brisk walk to the library while Nathaniel went near the woods and Lynx the silly little fellow whose presence seem to be unnoticeable followed Nathaniel on the woods.

Nathaniel felt like someone's is following him "pistol' he whispered and fire shape like pistol formed on his left hand. The pistols was silver with red firery linings all over. He heard footsteps and a voice which he knows for sure belongs to Lalaine. His steps were slower and sneakier, he hides at a tree and jumps out "Hold out your hand!" he fiercelesly shouted. Lalaine who is holding a basket of flowers immediately stood up and hide the two girls behind her.

"W-what the hell!" she screamed "Are you killing us?!" blood rushes on Nathaniel's face but his tan complexion seemed to hide it. Lynx whose been hiding all this time comes out laughing out loud "Hold out your hand" he said immittating Nathaniel's serious tone.

The man already had his fun, it is time to kill him for good. That was the words running on Nathaniel's mind as he loaded his gun. Lynx who is still laughing out loud slowly backing away as he keeps immitating Nathaniel sexy british accent.

"Time to die!" Nathaniel's screamed and runs after Lynx who is now trying to save his life from the angry beast.

"hey man I am just joking!" he said still laughing as Nathaniel's continuously run after him.

Lalaine shook her head and let the two little boys run after the other. 

"It looks like the grown up are more childish than we are" she whispered and smiled at the two girls. 

She went back holding hands with the two girls, they run towards to one of the Nun and showed their beautifuly braid hair. 

At the library, Stella roam around and looking at the wide varieties of books. For her this looks more like an orphanage for old books. Suddenly, a book on top shelf caught her attention, she grab the step-up-stairs. She climb up and pulled out the book out of the shelf. "The Moon Princess" was written on the front, the author was not there and as she flips the pages she haven't seen a single word. She noticed on the back cover of the book there is small stone imbued in it. As her curiosity hightens, she touches the stone and something pierce her finger.  The book lights up, she immediatel closed it and hold it near her chest. Maybe the stairs are just old or maybe her shoes was just slippery, she lost her balance pulling the book shelve down with her. The man immediately drop the pile of books he is holding and runs towards her. The shelve and books slammed on his back making him grind, while Stella's right leg was caught on the books falling.

She opens her eyes feeling the pinching pain on her leg and the soft brut arms that catches her

"Are you ok?" he asked. Stella's eyes widened, her heart starts to give her a riddle 'Are you in the dream again?'
