Nina

“Hello, Nina,” the Luna said.

She wore all white. Even her hair, her eyelashes, and her eyebrows were pure white, and her skin was as pale as a ghost. The only bit of color on her were her red eyes, staring out at me with disdain. But while her eyes glared coldly at me, there was a smile on her face. I felt as though I was looking into the face of someone who wanted nothing more than to kill me.

the Luna said, sounding incredibly nonchalant for someone who was torturing three people. She raised her voice to speak over Selena’s screams, like her screams were nothing but a whistling tea kettle. “But now, I’ve had to realize something of my own.
