( Luna p.o.v )
   At the words of Darren , hope rised inside of me . It was a feeling of being able to dream again , a feeling of being able ....to ... hope again. I had lived all my life pondering why I had to be among the unfortunate people who didn't have the opportunity to see their parents ...it was a painful life to live... coming back from school with no mom to kiss you welcome and no dad to scold you a little , growing up was hard for me and that's why I was so afraid of losing grandma, I couldn't the thought of losing the only true family I had , but it all was for nothing because grandma died.
  And then I thought everything was over .
   Now Darren visions say otherwise , it screamed hope.
  My father was alive .
I didn't know what to feel , all I could do was wince inwardly which sparked up Hadrian worries as I felt his hand on my shoulder ..
" Luna ?" He called with so much affection laced in his tone
  I placed my hand on his hand that was on my shoulder as I smiled reassuringly at him
" I'm fine " I assured , which was not a total lie ... I was fine...
  " Luna , I'm so sorry you had to live without your parent .."  king Asteroid, Hadrian's dad, spoke up with a very concerned gaze.. " Your father was a man of honor ... A protector of all astralians ... A dear friend of mine ... We all thought he was dead but now we know for a fact that he's still alive and we'll do everything in our power to bring him back " he said at last , with a very sincere smile across his lips
" No wonder his body was never found " Zuka thought out loud
  " We need to act fast , the force field is getting weaker by every minute we waste " Darren muttered with a scowl on his face like he was sensing something we all couldn't
  " What is it " I asked directing my question to Darren and his gaze shifted to me with a .... horrified look ?
   " The force field ... There's something wrong with it " he mumbled , taking his hands to massage his temple like he was spotting a headache ... Storm quickly passed him a glass of water and he took a little sip .... Now looking sick to his stomach ... I had feeling this had something to do with his last or upcoming vision.. I really couldn't place my hands on it
" He gets like this when he's about to have a vision , he will need to lay down your majesty " Storm politely requested with a bow to the king ..
  " Off course , I asked Clary to prepare rooms for Darren and you " Zuka do you mind showing them to it ...
Zuka nodded , getting up from her sit and going around the table to help Darren who looked like he was about to pass out anytime soon , looking at him now I couldn't believe that he was over thousands of years because he was stuck in a twenty-five years old body .
My quickly shifted to storm , there was something about him that I couldn't understand .... It was right in front of me but my understanding couldn't reach it ... Something about him was too familiar ... It was like I knew him from somewhere ... like I've known him for forever ... And my curiosity was peeked by the way he oftenly glanced at me , he stood up and nodded his head in a bow ready to follow after Darren and Zuka but my voice took on a mind of it's own as it called out his name , causing him to come to a halt , shoulder tensed as he had his back to us, I couldn't see the expression on his face ...
  Hadrian looked at me with a raised brow , I quietly smiled at him , reassuring him that I knew what I was doing ...
 
I walked up to Storm and without having him facing me ... I spoke
" I know ... From somewhere.. "
" I'm sorry , but you must be mistaking me for someone else " he said non too kindly , I had a feeling he knew what I was talking about by how tensed he was ... I could feel his aura ... He quickly made a move to leave and I suddenly grabbed his hand and immediately regretted it..
I was suddenly plunged into darkness , I couldn't see anything around me ... The dining table , king Asteroid , Hadrian and even Storm that I just held were gone ..the darkness here was so bright it burned my eyes , where was here ? Where was I ? My seeing ability was not working and that was when I heard the cries of a baby ... Suddenly the darkness was gone and right in front of me was a thatched cottage with flowers surrounding it just like my grandma loved it ... I could still hear the cries of the baby .... Looking around I could see that this house was out right in the middle of the woods ..my darted around and that was when I realized I was in a vision , this time I was not seeing it through someone's eyes but in it .. now this I wasn't prepared for ..
I quickly followed my instincts and started walking towards the house and who came of the door shocked my vessel .
It was Darren ... Young Darren ,he seemed to be around sixteen or seventeen here .
He came all smiley and bright , he took a sunflower from among the many flowers , a woman voice called out his name ..
  " Yes mama , I'm coming , I wanna get flowers for Storm , he'll stop crying once he sees it " he said happily going back inside , why was I seeing this ...why was I in Darren's past
  And again the image faded and I was plunged back into darkness .. again ... only for the scene to become clear showing the cottage ... only this time it was burning to ashes ... I gasped taking a step back as I heard shrieks and cries of agony which meant ... People were inside... Burning to death... And I turned around and saw a man with a pack of Akutas ...he held a sinister smile eyes burning with evil and hate ... Who was he... Was he the man Hadrian must have seen with his mom ? But one was sure ... This man just burnt the whole Red to death ... Or so I thought...
I was in the dark again ... By this time I was shaking with fright ...sweat prickled my forehead ... Shivers ran through my spine at what I would see next ...
This time ... I saw Darren running ... running hard but he was not alone .. in his hands was the baby.... Storm....
  Yet again I was plunged into the cold darkness ... only to see King Asteroid and Darren together with Storm ... Who looked to be twelve at that time
  " We have to find her " king Asteroid was saying
  " How... We both know I can't leave the astral realm... My energy is low from the shift of realms " Darren countered
  " My friend has a child out there ... It's dangerous for to be there ... alone... We need someone to stay with her ... " King Asteroid declared ,wait... were they talking about me ?
  " I'll go " Storm blurted , all eyes flew to him .. Even mine .. " I can find her "
  " How " Darren asked ...
  " I don't know , it's just something I discovered I can do ... Like that day you lost your pants ... did you ever wonder how I found it ?" He said eyes glittering...
   " I never wanted to know " Darren deadpanned ...
  " Ehmm that's great but this is not a pant we're talking about it's a person this time " king Asteroid deadpanned ..
  " I can still do it ... I'll just need parents " Storm said ...
And then the scene closed only to open to the scene at the pet shop ...  When my powers were awakening ... I saw Amelia smiling at me... Then leave the shop... I followed her outside and saw she was talking on the phone with someone ... I listened closely...
  " Her powers are awakened ... Yes...no..... I can't stay any longer ... My body is weak from staying in the mortal realm for too long... Yes... Tell him to send Hadrian to get her... No ... Hadrian shouldn't no... Yeah ... Just tell him it's a mission ... Give him the location ... Yeah I'm coming now " the call ended and right after that ... Amelia faded ... Her image ... And it was no longer Amelia standing there but Storm ... And then I gasped letting everything I just saw down on me ...
Now it make sense... Amelia's  family always followed us wherever we moved to... and I used to Wonder why ... Now everything makes sense .... Everything .....
Amelia all along was Storm.
That's why he was too familiar... that's why I felt like I had known him from somewhere...
I fell into the darkness again... This time I woke up to reality ...I gasped and then let go of Storms hand as I fell to the floor trembling hard ... like I was having a seizure... My eyes fluttered to close... I could hear Hadrian calling out my name ... The panic was pure in his voice ... My heart wrenched and the last I saw was tears rolling down storms eyes as I fell in the dark abyss of losing consciousness...
Phew ...
That's chapter Sixteen... everyone..
Things are becoming heaty ...
More secrets ... Luna doesn't deserve this...
Question: how would Luna react to this revelation.
