17. Right. No Big Deal At All.

“Time to fly, time to flyyy.” I started singing softly as I dug through my dresser, looking for some shorts.

“Lunaaa.” I heard a muffled voice from somewhere very close by.

I spun around to find no one behind me. “Hellooo?” I walked to the door and shouted down the hallway. Orion grunted a reply from the corner in the kitchen and Cassie was humming as she ate breakfast. She’d been there for an hour and ate slower than rocks did.

“Luna?” I heard it again, this time I could tell that it came from behind me.

I walked back into my room. “Yeah?” I waited a while and listened before I heard it again; it seemed to be coming from the dresser.

“Since when are elves into stalking people?” I asked as I dug through the dresser, looking for the tiny little thing hiding somewhere in there.

The voice was clear as I heard it this time, but it didn’t say Luna. Instead it yelled “YOUR MOTHER IS NOT AN ELF, NOW PICK UP THE NECKLACE RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!”

“Huh. I picked up the little trinket from the bottom of the drawer and stared at it. So it was my mother who’s been sounding all stalker-like.”

“Luna.” The little black oval said.

“Yes?”

“Do you ever think before you say something?”

“Yes, I do. And then I wonder what I was thinking.”

“My goodness.” She mumbled. “Well, did you settle the dispute between King Fenrisúlfur and Lady Sirena?”

“Uh huh. Party later. Fun.”

“Alright. Oh, and one other little thing.”

“Yeah, mom?”

“Hmm… maybe not. I’m not sure it’s such a big deal.”

“What is it?”

“Well…”

“What?!”

“Did you take care of the mass murderer?”

“What mass murderer?” I stared blankly at the necklace. Then I heard it.

Cassie and Orion shrieked from the kitchen.

“Oh, it’s probably nothing. There’s just been rumors of a mass murderer going around and--” I dropped the necklace and took off towards the kitchen.
