Luna's P.O.V.
The next morning, I was up rather late, the warm sun bleeding through the tent and drowning it in warmth. Whining in protest, I covered myself with my wings, creating a cool little shelter from the mid morning sun. Hearing someone step into the tent, I pretend to still be asleep, keeping as still as possible as Peter walked into the tent. There was a small indent in the bed but not big enough to be Peter's. Never the less, I kept as quiet as possible before someone lifted up one of my wings. Looking over at the small face, a smile came to my lips as I looked at him "Wake up, Mwommy." Cassie smiled at me as I unfolded my wings, letting the small boy crawl over to me. I picked him up in my arms, shifting so that I laid on my side as I place him next to me.

"Good morning to you too." I tap his nose which got the boy to giggle softly at me, my spirits rising. "Where are your brothers? They're always around you." I hummed, ruffling his hair.

"Fwurry twook dem widing as a wolf." Cassie explained as I sat up finally. Getting off the bed, I walked over to the dresser, grabbing my brush as I ran it through my hair.

"Riding huh? I'm guessing you didn't want to go with?" I glanced over at my son who shook his head with a soft smile. I take a moment to get dressed, grabbing the shirt from the ground and slipping it over my head. Grabbing my belt, I wrapped it around my waist as I grabbed my dagger. Attaching it to my belt, I grabbed my bow and sling the quiver of arrows over my shoulder. I also remember to grab the small vial of Dreamshade as well, attaching it to my belt as well. Slipping on my boots, I tie them right, braiding my hair over my shoulder like always. After I was finished, I went over to the bed and picked the little boy up in my arms, resting him on my hip as we made our way out of the tent.

The camp wasn't as busy with a few boys finishing up breakfast while others worked around the camp. Most would be at training by this time, Peter probably down there as well. Walking over to the table, I happily grab a few strawberries, eating them as Cassie went to grab a kiwi which I hand to him. "Cassie." Cassie and I turned to Peter as he walked into the camp, a worried expression on his face. "There you are. Felix was worried when you weren't with Asa and Isaac for training." He explained. I give Peter a puzzled look, looking over at Cassie.

"You said they were riding with Flurry." I was confused at the story as Cassie suddenly had a look of guilt and regret in his eyes. "Cassie, did you sneak away from training to wake me up?" I asked carefully to not scare him. Cassie took a moment but eventually nodded his head. Letting out a soft sigh, I kiss his head. "You're not in trouble, but you know the dangers of this island. You can't just run off without either Daddy or I knowing." I spoke to him softly as to not to alarm him.

"Bwut-Fwurry walks awound and shwe dwoesn't nweed to twell wou." Cassie sniffed.

"She has a little bit more freedom yes, but even we keep an eye on her at all times. I just don't want anything to happen to you, alright?" I looked over at Cassie who nodded, wiping a few tears away from his eyes as I kissed his head. "Tell you what, maybe tonight or tomorrow we can pull a little prank on Daddy as a silly way to make up to him." I whisper to Cassie. His once sad and glum mood quickly rose at the idea as he giggled with a soft nod. "Alright but you need to behave yourself until then. Why don't you tell your brothers and come up with an idea and tell me tonight at the bonfire." I looked over at Devin who was in the middle of walking to the training grounds. "Devin!" I called as the boy stopped in his tracks, looking at me. "Felix is at training with the twins. Can you make sure Cassie gets there?" I asked as the boy stepped over to us.

"Yeah of course." He smiled as I set Cassie down who smiled up at me.

"Remember to be good or no surprise." I smiled at him. Cassie nodded as Devin led him into the jungle to his brothers.

"What was that all about?" Peter scoffed behind me, referring to Cassie and I planning. I turned over to him.

"Nothing, I just promised Cassie a reward if he does good today." I cover up, Peter seeming to but into it. I finally get to look at the sword hanging from his belt, something he rarely kept on him considering his weapon of choice was his dagger. "You have your sword, why?" I asked
curiously as Peter walked past me.

"No reason. I just thought you may be in the mood for a little training like old times." He shrugs at the opportunity he knew that I wouldn't be able to pass up. I beamed at the thought, ducking past him as I ran into the jungle. Hearing a soft chuckle, Peter followed close behind me, keeping hot on my tail. Glancing back at him, I decide to play with him, I turn a sharp corner, almost falling in the process but was able to catch myself quickly. I hear Peter skid behind me but remained hot on my tail. Deciding once more, I knew I had to make a break for it. Slowing down, I allow him to catch up slightly just before bolting ahead. Jumping, I kicked off a tree to gain some energy. Twisting my body in mid air, I flip through the air, landing behind Peter who had stopped in confusion at my stunt.

Quickly grabbing his sword, I pin him to the ground in one swift move, the sword to the back of his neck. There was a pause before I smiled in triumph. "Looks like Peter Pan doesn't always-whoa!" I was cut off as Peter pushed me off of him, instead pinning me to the ground with my arms pinned at my side. I looked up at Peter, bowing the hair out of my face as he gave a satisfying look. 

"You were saying?" He teased as I huffed up at him in protest, only getting the boy to chuckle down at me in amusement.

"You know, I do love me niece and nephews but I don't need a new one any time soon." Peter and I looked up as Felix slid down the slope to us. I quickly pushed Peter off of me, getting to my feet as I brushed off my clothes and shook out my wings.

"Very funny." I shake out my hair, knowing that I would need to bath to wash off the dirt and mud. "Speaking of, aren't you supposed to be training them." I glare at my brother. I loved Felix and trusted him with everything but when it came to my children, I got worried and protective of them.

"We finished early so I left them back with Jerome who offered to watch over and play with them." Felix explained to them as I give a soft nod in understanding. A twig snapped behind us and the three of us turned to see the wolf emerge from the shadows, his copper fur catching the sun rays. Peter was quick to get defensive but I stepped forward, stopping him as I looked over at the wolf. Resting my head against his, I pet his snout softly.

"Hey, Jacob." I whispered, pulling back to look into his eyes as I scratched behind his ear. "You know you aren't supposed to be on our side of the island without reason. What brings you here?" He asked when Felix suddenly stepped forward, catching something on Jacob's neck. Kneeling down, I looked down at the necklace worn around his neck. It was my half star necklace. Taking it off his neck, I quickly take it in my hand. "How did you get this?" I asked as I looked over at my friend. Jaco moved as another wolf came forward, pushing the boy forward as he fell to the ground. I stepped back quickly as Felix glared at the boy. Peter quickly pulled me back as the four of us looked over at him. The boy only smirks up at us, his blue eyes shimmering in the light as I glared down at Chris.

"Hello, Moon."
