I Am The Luna

Chapter 106

ZAIA.

Night has fallen and I’m sitting in the lounge with Jai, Valerie, and Atticus whilst the children play before the fire.

“So we don’t really know how much is needed… or exactly how to use it,” Atticus says as he examines the pouch.

Rain is pouring down outside, and it’s rather windy. Somehow, it reminds me of the day I met Sebastian again when I first found out Valerie was in a coma…

Oh, how that feels like so long ago. I nod as I sip my coffee, and Sia comes over and climbs into my lap, hugging me tightly.

“Hey baby, is everything ok?” I ask her. She nods. “I just a little tired,” she says with a cute pout, and I kiss her forehead gently, caressing her hair.

“Aww, well Mommy will get you to bed soon, ok?”

She nods, placing her hand under her chin as she leans against me. I wrap my arms comfortingly around her. “I wonder how much is needed.” Jai muses staring at the pouch. We’re speaking French as the children are here.

“I don’t know, but I don’t think we would need much. I guess it’ll be trial and error. As in, would we need a name or not? Do we need to do it under a full moon or not?” I muse.

“We will just have to follow our gut feeling,” Atticus says.

“So, what now?” Valerie asks.

I look into the fire as Zion plays with his trucks, lost in his own little world. Times like that are gone once you are an adult, but I am grateful that through this time they can still be children, despite the fact I am certain they know when things are up.
