Forgotten promise

I liked my room to be quiet whenever I was asleep and I did not like being disturbed. After the fight, by body was so sore and I needed all the sleep to recuperate. That morning things were hazy. The noise was just too much and I couldn't understand why.

"Young lady, it's time for you to wake up. You are keeping the people waiting.?

"Gran Gran what are you on about this time. Can I not be left in peace!" I had to make sure that came out as a complaint. Gran Gran was one stubborn woman and I knew that one way or the other, she was not going to let me have my way this time.

" Young Lady of Treasure Land, you have been sleeping for almost two days and I've been worried and sick and afraid that something wrong happened to you during your fights. Forgive me for pestering you now, but you deserve it."

" Wait a second, what day is today and why did you let me sleep for two whole days? Gran Gran you could have woken me up sooner. Gran I must be a stupid Queen now."

"Get out of bed and go get your bath. you have an hour to the party"

"Thank God. I love you so much Gran. You know you are just the best ever," I had to say and gave her a kiss.

"Young Lady, your breath stinks," had to say Gran.

"Your fault and not mine. You could have woken me up sooner, I think I have to kiss you more," I had to say and and rushed after my Gran to give her the worst of me.

Gran raised her stick at me and once that stick was raised, I knew better as to not mess with her.

" Come on Gran. Will you ever stop raising that stick at me, Ouch! my heart is bleeding out"

"Shower young lady. Don't keep Gentlemen waiting for you downstairs"

"What the hell do you mean by that?" I had to ask.

" And what the hell are you still standing there for when you are running out of time you good for nothing Girlfriend" had to say Lindiwe.

Lindiwe was my best friend since forever and seeing her that evening made me wonder how much time has passed since we got to be friends.

"Lindie, I missed you girl. Give me a hug," I had to say.

" You stink girl, Gran Gran lend me your stick?" said Lindiwe.

" You have to be joking with me right now. I don't even have the cloths to wear to this party. "

"Don't worry girl. I gat you covered."

I had not realized that I slept for two days which was uncalled for and I almost missed the party I had promised the people of Treasure Land. Lindiwe helped me with make up and dressing my hair. She even got me a blue evening gown. I was just so lucky to have her.

" You may look yourself in the mirror," had to say Lindiwe.

"Don't tell me am dreaming again," I had to say. She made me look amazing and that's what you get if you have a friend who is a make up artist.

"Don't even doubt for a second, you are looking great. Go and shine tonight Luna."

" Come on, you don't have to address me like that. Am your best friend remember?"

" I know you are, but you are also my Luna, whether you like it or not" had to say Lindsay.

" Am done talking to you. Gran Gran, how do I look tonight?"

"You young lady are looking hot. Absolutely amazing. If your parents were here tonight, they would have been so proud of how much beautiful you have grown. Go out there and pierce some hearts," had to say Gran.

Well that's my Gran, she can't just let me be myself for a second without mentioning boys.

" Gran Gran, you know am not cupid. Thank you so much for this. What could I have done without you." I had to say and hugged both of them.

"Good evening ladies, but the people of Treasure Land are waiting for there Luna. Shall we go then My Queen."

"Uncle Charlie, you are here at last. It's been forever since I last saw you chasing after that woman. What country was it? Yes it was Malawi," I had to say.

"What did you just say! You went where? had to ask Gran Gran while raising her stick at Uncle Charlie.

"My niece has a very big mouth. Mother it's not what you think. I happened to come across a beautiful lady while I was chasing after your Grand daughter and then we just happened to run in each other that's all," defended Charlie.

"You two have some explaining to do. And you too Lindiwe. You both lied to me and I need to know why," had to say Gran Gran.

I was busted and so was my Uncle. We meant to hide what I had just revealed to Gran Gran about going to Malawi. The both of us really had some explaining to do. Gran Gran hated being lied to.

Everyone knelt when they saw me coming. That is one thing I will have to Address later when I gained authority of how to run things in the pack.

" Luna," everyone shouted.

"You may rise. Today we are celebrating Treasure Land for what it is today, strong, United and Magnificent as ever. No politics today, but we will just celebrate. I therefore declare this party open to everyone. Let's mingle!"

I walked through the crowd greeting people and making acquitances of those who had come from far. As Luna I had to make sure all the visitors were well taken care of and that they felt at home.

Somebody screamed in the crowd, and when I looked at my back, I saw my bodyguard wounded and getting hold of the perpetrator. I couldn't believe it that he threw his life in for me.

" Security, take the assailant away, and if you may excuse me, I need to attend to some issues, however this party continues.
