Stuck In A Shadow

Moon

Prologue

Moon stared out the window, planning.

"Moon." A hoarse whisper came from outside, Moon crept over to the cave entrance, and moved the boulder slightly.

"Yes?" She hissed into the darkness. Nothing. Finally, a rough voice said, "Well, lemme in, then."

Moon sighed inwardly and beckoned the man in.

"Well?" She asked, "Did you make it in the castle?"

"Yes."

"Okay, well, how many guards?" Moon asked.

"Not a lot, but a decent amount, Moon." The young man entered the light, he had black hair and green eyes, with chocolate brown skin.

"Hm…" Moon thought for a moment. "Did they see you?"

"Not a hair, Princess Moon,"

"Then it is settled, we go tonight." Moon decided. "We will kill the queen; my sister, Ocean." A knock at the door. "Code?" she replied suspiciously. "647420." The voice answered in a soft tone. "Come in." The door opened. A small frail figure appeared, his fluffy blond hair covered the hood. He looked at her, his face covered in freckles, His yellow and blue eyes glistened from the moonlight lighting the room. "Oh, our assassin is here. Welcome," Moon regarded him. The assassin bowed, "Kieran at your service. Your majesty." He said, "Also known as Alex." he added smirking. The first man gaped.

"Felix, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, your excellency," Felix murmured.

Something passed between them, maybe a memory. Alex glared at him. "Say one thing to the queen and you shall be dead before the morning, Dear." Moon regarded them quickly, do they know each other? Her eyes glistened with anticipation. Alex proudly murmured something. Felix looked away, understanding what he meant. "Now who shall be the target?" Alex said in a heavily accented voice. Moon's ears began to ring. A voice in the back of her head chanted, 'There will be an asteroid behind the moon, it will either become the 2nd moon, creating a brighter night. Or it will crash into Earth, destroying millions.' Moon gasped quietly. A prophecy? She shook her head and replied to her assassin, "Ocean. Queen Ocean. My sister." Moon answered. Felix looked at Alex, this couldn't be the Alex he knew...
