Luna And The Dire Wolf's
Chapter 46. Want to Do Fun Things
Luna took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He began to pull the corners of his lips upwards, until a forced smile was created. Valko was still staring at him intensely, waiting for the sentence to come out of Luna's lips.
"Val, I ...." Luna stopped her speech for a moment.
The girl looked down, staring at the end of her shoes. A second later, Luna raised her face again. He looked at Valko full of seriousness.
"What's wrong with you, honey?" Valko summarized the little face of the lover, then tucked the child's hair behind the ear.
"I want to do many fun things while doing the work of Professor Abraham." Luna smiled widely, and her tiny body now moved into Valko's arms.
"Basic, just wanting to say something like that, why does it look so serious?" Valko gently rubbed Luna's hair, peeked at her neck, and inhaled the scent of the pretty girl's body.
"Let's have some fun while doing chores! I will accompany you all the time. May the task given by Professor Abraham be well accomplished." Valko let go of her embrace, then looked at Luna as she clenched her fingers to encourage her.
"I hope so." Luna desperately held back the tears from dripping down her cheeks. The shadow of his last dream last night really scared him.
***
Three more weeks are the next full moon. That is, Luna must immediately complete all her tasks before the ritual begins. He had to help Valko prepare everything for the ritual to go well.
That day, Luna had just completed her first task, which was the task of painting glowing objects. The girl decided to paint the necklace of Arthemis that was shining when reflecting the moonlight.
Every paint and brush on the canvas looks so real. The gradation of colors makes the necklace seem to be really shining. Luna is very talented in this field. All the objects he painted, must be very similar and look so alive.
"Finally done too!" Luna stretched her stiff muscles while yawning wide.
"What an amazing work!" said Diego who is now standing behind the girl while sipping a cup of coffee.
"Gee, Uncle! Since when is uncle here?" Luna put the brush on the color palette, then supported her chin to look at Diego who is now sitting on the sofa.
"Already since. Your fingers are very good at scratching brushes on canvas! Very similar to your late father," praised Diego again.
Luna walked closer to diego, and landed her butt on the couch. The woman threw her gaze towards the uncle while smiling faintly.
"What's wrong?" ask Diego while putting the coffee cup on the table.
"I'd like to ask Uncle for permission to return to Arcoris Hill. I'll be there with Valko for the next few days. I want to finish Professor Abraham's assignment."
"Can this task be done at home?"
"Can't, Uncle. I was asked to paint a rare plant, and I could only find it there" explained Luna.
Diego exhaled a rough breath. His affection for Luna was greater than his current worry. To be honest, Diego felt that there was a strange change happening to Luna.
The usually cheerful girl, looked a little moody the past few days. He often daydreams when sketching or doing other activities. It happened, since Luna came home looking for wood and some other plants with Valko.
"Alright, but you must promise to return immediately if you have finished the painting! Focus on your tasks, play less, and do things that are not clear!"
After getting permission from Diego, Luna immediately packed up. He prepared some equipment to stay in Arcoris hill. The girl planned to camp.
After finishing packing, Luna grabbed her phone lying on the study table. The girl immediately contacted Valko and informed him of the impromptu camping plan she wanted.
"Can! I'll pick you up in the morning! I'm gonna borrow Uncle Jacob's car again!" valko said by phone.
"We'll stay there for a few days. I'll bring the groceries, and you'll have the cooking tools ready, okay?"
"okay! I'll borrow the tent too! I guess I haven't been camping in a long time either! Do we need to bring the others?" asked Valko in a cheerful tone.
"Yes! Take Azura, Clavio, Micky, and Micko! It'll be so much fun!" exclaims Luna with sparkling eyes.
Imagining their togetherness alone has made Luna's heart flowery. All his life, only this time he had many friends. He felt very lucky at the end of the time he had.
Luna intends to leave behind the fondest memories for the people she loves so much. A second later, Luna remembered Diego. He cleared his throat a few times before asking Valko a question.
"Val, can I take Uncle Diego? It's a pity that he's home alone. It must be very quiet."
"If he wants to, I don't think it's a problem! I'll bring an extra tent for Uncle Diego!"
"Alright, I'll ask uncle first. I'll call you later. Okay?"
Their conversation was also interrupted. Luna throws the origin of the cell phone onto the mattress, then rushes out of the room. He went down one by one and approached Diego who was smoking on the porch.
"Uncle," called Luna as she approached her uncle.
He pulled out a chair, then landed his buttocks on it. Diego turns off a fire burning on the tobacco, then focuses on his only nephew.
"What's wrong? Looks like something made you so happy?" ask Diego curiously.
"Look, Uncle. Tomorrow I'll camp on Arcoris hill with Valko and some friends." Luna took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
"Then?"
"Are you willing to participate?"
Diego fell silent. The middle-aged man thought of many things this time. He actually wanted to participate because lately he was bored with monotonous activities. However, if he goes camping, Diego is worried about disturbing the fun of Luna and her friends.
"Will this Old Man not interfere with the pleasure of you young men?"
"Who said? If there was an Uncle with us, we would feel safer. Uncle will be able to protect us from the beasts all the way there!" Luna moved her arm around holding a long barrel firearm.
"All right, I'll come! Then, I'll get ready first!" Diego quickly got out of his chair and went into his room.
Luna smiled faintly. He went to the room, and prepared to go to sleep so that his energy would be full again for tomorrow's trip.
