Our Crazy Love- Chapter 2

"Have you ever noticed how people are like leopards?" Luna questions quietly. Stopping their conversation about swimming, the older boys put their attention to the younger female. "What?" Drake asks. "Have you ever noticed how humans can be compared to leopards?" Adrian goes onto his knees, "How darling?" "Well, people prey on the innocent and make plans stealthily enough to catch it in their jaws. They don't care how it feels as long as they gain the pleasure they want." The boys give a weird look at the girl. "Is the leopard your favorite animal?" "No, I hate leopards."

Luke understands what she's talking about and pleads to himself that she doesn't say anything about it. "Why do you think that then?" Adrian responds unsurely. "Just thinking," she responds throwing a look at her dad as if she could hear his thoughts. "Okay then," Drake comments.

A little while later, after learning more about one another, Luke decides it's time to say goodbye for- hopefully- now. "Luna, Lu, can I talk to you for a minute?" "Sure. What's up papa?" Luna says. "I need to go for a little while. Luna, I wan-" Luke gets cut off by Lunex's outburst. "Dad, where are we going?" "Bud I am leaving. You are gonna stay here with Drake and Adrian. I'm going to be gone for a while." You can hear the pain in Luke's voice as he explains to his son what's happening.

"Why are you leaving? Why can't we go? Dad, why are you leaving us wi-" "Bub trust me." Luke cuts off his son with a pitch of pure dominance. "But-" this time Luna cuts him off, "Lu we gotta trust dad. He'll be fine and we'll be fine. Okay?" "Okay." Lunex throws a backward glance at the awkward teens. He sighs and tries not to worry much.

"I need to go now. I'll see you in a little while," He stops and they go to head back but Luke grabs Luna's arm delicately, "Luna, please take care of him and yourself. The boys don't know what you and your brother are yet." He pleads to his daughter. Luke doesn't know how long he will be gone and when he will return. "I promise dad. Be safe please and come back as soon as you can," she says softly. "I will," is all the male says before standing to his full height.

"I put my trust in you. Don't break it. Keep them safe please Adrian and Drake." Luke calls out quietly with an authoritative voice which slowly fades to a soft plea. The boys nod in response and Luke turns to leave. He is stopped but a small mass running into him and embracing him. He felt the wetness of tears and knew it was his son's small figure. "D-Dad!" Lunex yells quietly. "I know bub. I know." He feels his own tears threatening to come upon him but he holds back. Luke turns around to face his son and lifts him up a little off the ground in a great hug.

"I love you bub. Don't cause trouble and always keep your smile on okay?" Luke whispers to his son soothingly. "O-Okay dad. I love you too, so much. Please be safe. I know the bad guys are still out there so, please... Please stay safe dad." Lunex whimpers. Luke sighs and hugs his son tighter. "I'll try the best I can bud, I promise." After a few moments, Luke sets his son down and let go. Lunex tries to control his tears to no avail.

"Goodbye now. I'll be home in no time bub. Don't worry. I love you to the moon and back." With that Luke turns back and runs into the forest. Lunex looks back at his sister who is silently crying. He runs over to her and embraces her tightly. They know why he had to leave... but it was still hard to lose your best friend, not knowing when they're coming back.

The brother looks at each other with many emotions from what they just witnessed. The soft cries are the only things heard in the quiet atmosphere. The boys tentatively walked over to the twins. They decided they should head home seeing as they had spent over 45 minutes overtime at the track just then.

"Hey, we should head home so we can get you situated," Adrian quietly signified. "Yeah, we probably should..." Lunex trails off. "Do want to follow us to our house?" Drake queries. Luna looks up and nods her head while Lunex leaves his head in the crook of her neck. She slowly pulls away so she can lead her brother to their location behind the older males.

They start on their way to the parking lot, where Drake's car is sitting. Once they get to it the twins look at it skeptically. "What?" Drake announces. "Nothing," Luna shrugs. The younger pair have seen motorized vehicles before but never rode in them. They always used their forms for traveling. They also live in the middle of nowhere, so in replacement of neighbors, they had great fields to play around in. They hesitantly get in the back seats of the small car and head to their destination.

To the twin's astonishment, they pull up in front of a beautiful wood and glass house. They arrive, which in turn allows Luna and Lunex to gape at the house. It was nothing like their small cabin. It was an above-ground, two-story log house. The pillars were an illuminating dark grey color and the wood was a fine dark red-brown color. Adrian and Drake get out of the car but the pre-teens don't follow. Instead, they stay in the car and marvel at the house.

'Now that I think of it the town looked pretty fancy even if it was small.' Luna thinks to herself. "Hey, guys, c'mon this is your new home." Drake notifies them to bring them out of their dases. "N-New home?" Lunex asks the brothers. "Mhhm, now get out of the car." Luna and Lunex gawk at the house, even more, when they make it to the front doors.

They take notice of the carefully inscribed details of the doors. Drake throws open the double door entrance and walks inside. Adrian follows in suite and the twins wait at the door waiting to be welcomed in. Adrian looks back at them and waves his hand for them to come in. The twins look at each other and wait. "Um, are you guys going to come in or just stand there?" Drake asks when he notices the siblings haven't entered yet. "Yeah, we were just looking around." Luna nods as a cover.

Being hybrids, the twins have the abilities of their vampire sides and wolf sides. They have the speed, intelligence, power, strength, agility, etc of a vampire and form, athletics, and bond link of a werewolf. Seeing as they were half-vampire, from their undead mother, they needed to be welcomed into the property verbally by someone who properly lives there. As in, only the owner or owner's immediate family can welcome them into the house.

When they first walked in they were welcomed with a common area, living room to the left, and dining room to the right. Looking straight are stairs that lead to the second floor. The twins glanced at each other and used their bond to talk instead of out loud. "I take this floor you look around upstairs?" Lunex asked through their link excitedly, knowing it would take longer if they did it together. Luna just nodded and went toward the stairs while Lunex ventured through the living room.

Luna went up the carpeted stairs and scanned the upper area of the house. Slightly to your left was a big room filled with games and tables. Air hockey, pool, and a table for poker and other card games. There were some couches, a mini-fridge, flat-screen tv, and other things. Luna scoped the room quickly and then searched the other 2/3 of the upstairs. When you first come up the stairs, to your right are where the rooms are located.

Luna went over to the hallway of rooms and found 7 doors. She opened the one at the end of the hallway first and found a master bedroom with a sliding glass door that leads to a deck. She presumed it must have been one of the boys' room, so she shut the door and tried the other ones. She found 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in the hallway.

Once she was done with that she went to explore the rest of the upstairs. She walked by a workout room, defense room (taekwondo, karate, etc.), a library, and a movie theater room. She was checking out the last room, the bowling alley, when Lunex came bolting up the stairs and she heard a soft thud. She knew it was her clumsy twin.

Luna sighed and walked out of the room she was in to go meet her very excited twin. "Luna! Luna! They have a pool and a garden and a puppy and rabbit and horse! The horse is at the stables though." Lunex bursts out. The older twin looked at her brother and giggled. Though she was excited she kept her emotions to herself better than her twin and kept her guard up.

'Protect him' Her father's voice rang through her head on replay. She smiled at her twin's excitement as he explains what everything was like downstairs and leads him to the couch to sit.
