Chapter 1
There was cave that had a million crystals in it. Everywhere you look there were crystals. One man had his crew with him to search around the cave. That name was derrick blue. He as an adventure outside but inside his home he had one baby girl named Luna blue and a wife named Jeanette. Jeanette had Black long hair in a braid with Hazel eyes. She always worried about him that he wouldn’t come back but he always did. Derrick had Dark brown hair with blue eyes.
They explored the cave and at the end they saw a little pond. It was glowing because it had millions of crystals in it. But there were only one crystal Derrick wanted and it was the only one on the ceiling from all the others. It looked like the shaped of a heart.
“Hey guys other here.” Derrick said to his crew. They all went to see what he was talking about. “Can you get that one?”
All the men nodded and climbed to the top. They started to clip it from the ceiling. They got it down. They all went back down and the man gave the crystal to Derrick.
“Why’d you wanted this one Derrick?” said the man.
“This is for my little girl.” He pulled out a long string from his pocket. “It’s her birthday is soon and this is going to be her gift. So I’m giving her a real crystal necklace.” He made it onto a necklace and held it up. “Come on let’s go home and rest.”
“So you brought us out here to get a crystal necklace for your baby girl who’s turning one year old.” The man said.
“Yes. If you want to bring a crystal home you can.” He turned around to walk out. “Hurry up and let’s go.” All the men got a crystal and followed Derrick out. They got into the trucks and drove back to their home.
They traveled very far to their home town. They spent 7 mornings and 6 nights until they made it back home. It was a Big Town where everyone lives in peace and Happiness. Derrick went back to his own home.
Jeanette was in the kitchen cooking dinner. Roman noodles with Fruit. Luna was in her room in bed sleeping until it was time to eat. Derrick walked through the door with his gift To Luna in a box. He walked in the kitchen to See Jeanette.
“So what are you cooking Jeanette?” He said
She turned around. “Your back Derrick! We missed you so much.” She Ran to him and gave him a hug.
“Of Corse I’m back nothing can keep me from my family. So where’s Luna.”
“She’s up stairs asleep. Come on let’s see if she’s awake.” They both went upstairs. Jeanette opened the first door on the right. “Now be quiet she might still be asleep.” She went inside and Derrick followed her. Jeanette went to a Cradle on the other side of the room. She turned on the lamp near it. She looked down and said “She’s awake, Derrick.”
He walked over and looked down in the cradle. He picked Luna up. “Oh gosh, I missed you so much Luna. I hear it’s your birthday Luna. So here.” He pulled out the box from his right pocket. He handed it to Jeanette.
She opened the box to find the Crystal necklace. “You got her a Crystal.” She said surprised.
“Not just any crystal. A real crystal from Crystal cave above the crystal water.”
“So that’s the whole reason that you went to that far. For a present for Luna?”
“Ya, it took a while for me to get there. But it’s all worth it for my little girl.” Jeanette put the crystal necklace on Luna. Then smoke started coming from the kitchen. “Hey what’s that smell? Is something burning?”
“Oh my god! The noodles!” She yelled. She ran down the stairs and went in the kitchen. The noodles were smoke came from the pot. She turned off the oven and set the pot on the side. “I’m surprised that the alarm didn’t go off.” She said as Derrick walked in with Luna in his arms.
“Maybe we should call someone to check on it.” Derrick said.
“I’ll call on Monday when their opened.” She said pouring the noodles in a couple of bowls. “Please sit down and get ready to eat.” Someone knocked on the door.
“I’ll get it.” Derrick said. He walked to the door and opened it. “Hi Jull. How’s it goin’?” He turned around and yelled out. “Hey Jeanette its Jull.”
Jull was the oldest son of their two children. He was in college studying to be a Doctor. He had Dark brown hair like his farther and Green eyes. He wore a black suit with grey shoes.
“Hi farther.” Jull said.
“Please come in Jull. We were just about to eat.” Derrick said. Jull walked in and into the kitchen.
“HI Jull, Welcome back. Please sit down. We were just going to have dinner.” Jeanette said setting the bowls down on the table. Jull sat down and so did Derrick with Luna in his arms.
“Hey dad, who’s this little baby?” Jull said looking over Luna.
“This is your baby sister. Her name is Luna.” Derrick said. “Do you want to hold her?”
“Sure.”Derrick handed Luna to Jull. Luna eyes were opened. She had Hazel eyes. Her Hair was black in a ponytail. “She looks like mom?” Jull said.
“Yes she does.”
Jull looked at the crystal necklace on her little neck. “You got her the crystal from the crystal cave? Above the Lake?”
“Why yes. That was my own mission I had to do.”
Jeanette sat down at the table with them. “Jull I’ll take Luna so you can eat.”
“Thanks.” He handed Luna to Jeanette. Jeanette started to feed Luna some milk.
“So farther, what’s going to be your next mission?” Jull said.
Derrick took a sip of his tea that Jeanette just poured him. “I think my next mission is to travel through the Death Valley to gather information about the weird creatures that still might be there.”
“You’re not serious are you?” Jull said.
“I am. If I don’t do it I lose my job. And besides that Death Valley is deserted.”
“No it isn’t. There is still one creature left. You have to be careful farther.”
“Yes honey its true. I watched a program that went to Death Valley and the creature was there. It’s not safe to go there. And besides the man found their baby eggs not hatched yet. So please give up your job before you give up your life.” Jeanette said.
“Don’t worry I’m sure I’ll be ok.” Derrick said. He was finished with his dinner. “May I be excused? I got to get to sleep early. I’m leaving tomorrow.” He got up with his bowl and cup and dropped it in the sink. He went up stairs to his room and lay down in his bed.
Jeanette sighed. “Sometimes your farther doesn’t know what you’re talking about.” She smiled at Jull. “Jull are you going to stay the night?”
“Of course.” Jull said.
“Well you could stay in the guest room tonight. Good night Jull.” She got up and went up stairs to tuck in Luna.
It was 7:00 in the morning. Derrick had all his things packed up in a bag. He was sneaking out to go to the Death Valley. He didn’t want to be late or to let Jeanette know or she’ll just keep talking on and on about not to go to Death Valley. He finally reached the door and he touched the door numb.
“Farther?”
He turned around to see Jull out of bed.
“Farther? You’re leaving all ready?”
“I have to son. If I don’t I’ll lose my job.”
“Well that’s better than losing your life.” Jeanette said walking down the stairs with Luna in her arms. “Listen Honey, You have a daughter that just turned one. And a successful son. Please stay with us. Also if you stay you can get that job at the Zoo. You always loved working with animals.”
“Sorry but I have to go. I love you All. Bye.” He walked out the door.
“What do we do now?” Jull said.
“I guess we wait for him to get back or for any news to come. Come on lets go eat breakfast.”
“Ok.” They both went in the kitchen and Jull sat at the table with Luna and Jeanette made Breakfast.
A week past by and Jull came back to visit Jeanette and Luna again.
“So where’s Dad?” Jull said sitting on the couch.
“I’m afraid that he is still in Death Valley.” Jeanette said sitting down also.
“I thought he’ll be back by now.”
“No he’s not. And I haven’t heard any news.” She sighed. She grabs the remote on the table and turned the TV on. She turned the channel on 10. The news was on.
“Not long ago a very brave man named Derrick Blue went in to Death Valley. But he never came out. I’m sorry Derricks family and friends but derrick blue is dead. In other news…”
Jeanette turned off the TV.
“I can’t believe that he is gone.” Jeanette said. Tears came out of her eyes.
“Mother?”
“He is such an idiot. You know right.” She said looking at Luna.
“Mother? Are you alright?”
“Ya. I’ll go make dinner.” She got up and handed Luna to Jull. “Please watch her.” She walked out and went in the kitchen.
“Looks like it’s just going to be me you and mother tonight Luna.” He laughed a little. “You probably don’t understand me do you Luna?” he gab the remote and turned on TV and turned the channel.
Chapter 2
Nine years past by since Derricks death. Jeanette still didn’t get over Derrick. Jull was now a successful doctor and Vet. Also Luna was now a 5 year old little girl.
Luna was on their roof. She always was there when she needed time to be by herself or just to think. The roof was a beautiful. Her mother planted plants up on the roof so Luna can enjoy them. The roof was flat so she can walk on the roof and be safe. Luna was on the roof watching the sunrise.
“Luna, come eat Breakfast.” Jeanette said. “You don’t want to miss school.”
“Ok mother I’m coming.” Her hair was long and smooth.
Jeanette smiled and headed back down. Luna followed her down. They went in the kitchen and Jeanette handed Luna her lunch.
“Now this is for lunch Luna ok.”
“Alright.”
“And you are going to be late if you don’t go. You can eat breakfast on the way alright.” She handed Luna some pieces of butter toast. “Now go on your brother is out in the car.”
“Bye mommy I’ll see you when I get home.” Luna said. Jeanette gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead. She walked her out the door and Jull was waiting in the car for Luna.
“Now be careful sweetie alright.”Luna nodded and walked to the car. “Bye Luna, Bye Jull.”
Luna got in car and waved goodbye to Jeanette. Then Jull drove off to her school. When they got to the school Luna was nervous. It was her first day of school. She was holding on to her Crystal necklace that her father gave to her when she was a baby.
“Hey Luna are you ok?” Jull said.
“No… Why would I be nervous? It’s my first day.” Luna said looking out the window.
“Want me to walk with you inside?”
“No big brother it’s ok. I’ll be fine.”
“Ok then. Well you should get inside and see your teacher. And you might not know. You might meet a new friend.”
Luna walked out of the car. “Bye Jull I’ll see you after school and tell you all about.” She ran inside the school. Luna walked down the hall and saw other kids her same age but didn’t know any of them. She was looking everywhere, on the walls, floors, and the doors to look for her room. She found her room. Door A12. She walked in the door. No one was there except for the teacher and one of the Students.
“Oh hi you’re here early” Said the teacher. She wore her brown hair in a bun.
“I’m sorry I can come back when the bell rings.”
“Nonsense. You must be Susie right.” She said.
“No I’m Luna.”
“Please Luna come take a seat by Loki.”Loki was a nine year old boy. He had Brown eyes and brown hair that was short but long. Luna sat in the seat near Loki. “I was just giving a talk to Loki before you walked in. He’s in trouble for trashing the teachers’ lounge and searching in the girl’s restroom. Now Luna why are you early. You should be eating breakfast.”
“No. My mom said I was going to be late so she gave me some toast for on the way and my brother dropped me off at school.”
“I see.”
The school bell rang and all the kids the kids came rushing in. Everyone took their seats and waited for the teacher to say anything.
“Welcome students. My name is Ms. Kessler. Welcome back to school.” Ms Kessler said.
It was lunch time and everyone was in line to eat Lunch. They had sloppy Joes for lunch. Their food was discussing. That’s why Jeanette made her lunch. Luna sat at a little table far away from the others. Luna opened her lunch and started to eat.
Then a couple minutes later Loki sat next to her.
“Hey Luna.” Loki said.
Luna looked other at him. “Hey.”
Loki looked other at her necklace. “Where’d you get that crystal necklace from?”
“My farther why do you want to know?”
“Where’d your farther find it?”
“I don’t know. My mother said that my farther searched for it in a crystal mine or cave.” She was finished eating her lunch and got up. “See you around Loki.” Then Luna left.
It was the end of the day of school. The bell rang and everyone was heading out of school. Luna went out to the front of the school to see Jull was waiting outside for Luna. Luna went out to the car and got in. Jull drove her home and walked her inside. Her mother was there sitting on the couch.
“Well hello you two. How was your day Luna? Make any new friends?”
“Not much. I’ll be up stairs if you need me.” Luna went up on the roof. She sat on the bench and stared out into the sunset. It was so beautiful to watch. Then someone busted threw the roof. “Who are you?”Luna said.
“Are you Luna Blue?” The man said in a creepy voice.
“Why yes?”
He got out his sword from his side and ran toward her. Luna screamed. She covered her eyes and just stood there screaming. But then she heard two swords combined together. Luna looked up to see a long man blocking from the demon to get to her. Luna couldn’t see his face because it was covered by a mask.
“Mesh you have no business here.” The man in the mask said pushing forward.
“Back off I’m just here for the crystal! It’s mine.”
The man in the mask pushed him back. “Go Now Mesh.”
“Don’t worry I’ll be back.” Then the man flew off.
“Are you Ok?”
“Yes.”
“Great see ya!” The man ran off the roof.
“Wait!” Luna yelled as she watched him jump from roof to roof.
Luna went back down to the living room were Jull was sitting on the couch reading his book and Jeanette was cooking dinner. Luna went into the kitchen and asked her mom. “Hey mom is there any such things as a dark angel?”
“What do you mean Luna?” Jeanette said.
“Well I saw the scariest thing mother. When I was on the roof this big green dark angel came on the roof."
“Sweetie there is no such thing as Dark angels. You just probably fell asleep on the roof and had a bad dream.” Jeanette rubbed her head.
Luna turned around and Whispered to herself. “I know what I saw.”
Chapter 3
6 years past since that accident on the roof and nothing has happened since then. No sign of the masked man or the Dark angel. Luna never forgot that night. But now Luna was a very intelligent girl. 15 years old and she has such a great spirit. Luna was walking to the market to pick up some fruit for her mom. Even if she was smart and pretty she didn’t have much friends so she was lonely. When Luna was walking she saw Loki in the town.
“Hi Loki.” Luna said rushing over to Loki.
“Oh hey Luna. What are you doing in the market?” Loki said picking up his groceries.
“I’m here to pick up some food for my mom and brother. So I’ll see you later Loki.”
“Ok see ya.” They walked past each other and Loki tripped over a rock.
“Loki, are you all right.” Loki turned over holding is knee.
“Ya, I think so.”
“Here yet me help you up.”Luna held here hand out.
“Thanks.” Loki said. Luna helped him up. They each grabbed a bag that fell on the floor. Luna handed the bag to Loki. “Thank you Luna.”
“No problem. Well I’ll see you in school tomorrow Loki.” She smiled and walked away. Loki walked home. Luna walked down the side walked to the market. “Well hello will, how’s the market coming along?”
Will was a young girl who worked for crops and sells them. “Oh it’s doing great. But not today. You were the only girl who came today. And since you were the only one I suggest that the others are doing not very well too.”
“That’s very bad. So what do you have today Will.”
“Well you are very lucky Luna. Usually when you get here all the good stuff is gone but here it is.” Will handed a basket full of fruit and sweets.
”This is great Will, thanks. Here will this is for you.” She handed will some money and a tip.
“Thanks Luna.”
“No problem. See you later will.”
“And Luna it’s getting kind of dark so you have to be careful and hurry home.” Will said worried.
“OK.” Luna walked out the shop and went home. On her way she heard something behind her. When she looked back there was no one there. Luna walked into the park. Then she saw a strange person standing in the light of a lamp post. “Who is that?” Luna said to herself.
The person pulled out a sword and started running toward her. As he got closer and closer she started to see the man’s face it was that mask guy from 6 years ago.
“It’s you!” Luna said. The man never stopped. When he got to her he jumped over her and hit the man behind her. Luna turned around. It was that Dark angel again.
“Well, Well, Well, It’s nice to see you again.” Mesh said.
“I couldn’t say the same with.” The mask man said. “Go Now!”
“I don’t think so.”
Mesh pulled out his two swords and ran to him. The mask man got ready. “Luna you should get out of the way.” He said. Luna nodded and ran to a safe spot to watch them. Mesh strike on both sides but the mask man jumped in the air. He landed and swung his sword when Mesh had his back turned. Mesh got out of the way.
“Sorry man but I got to go but don’t worry.” Mesh Flew in the air and flew away.
Luna got out of hiding and walked toward the mask man. “Are you alright Sir?” Luna asked quietly.
“Ya I’m fine.”
“That’s good. Thank you for helping me Sir but May I asked.”
“What is it?”
“Who are you really? You never told me last time.”
“You really want to now.” Luna nodded. He started taking of his mask. When he was finished Luna was surprised. It was Loki!
“Loki! You’re the mask man?”
“Ya.”
“What happened to your head? You didn’t have a bandage around your head.”
“After I talked to you in the market I ran into Mesh and got into a fight with me. He cut the side of my head.”
“I’m so sorry that that it happened to you.”
“No problem.”
“Ok. Now I got another question for you. Who was that and why was he here?”
“As you know his name is mesh. Mesh came to this to get that necklace that you are wearing now. That crystal on your neck is the key in the world. Or in my world if I say so.”
“Your world?”
“Follow me I’ll show you.” Loki started to walk. He finally stopped at this mirror in the forest.
“A mirror?”
“Not just any mirror.” He grabbed her hand. “Hold on tight.” Loki touches the mirror and walked through it. They were now in a different place. It wasn’t like her regular forest. It was different there were much more trees and bushes. Much greener than the other forest.
“Where are we?”
“My real home. Come follow me.” They traveled to a village. It had tons of people there. Kids playing around with friends. Everyone was so friendly. They arrived to a building. “Come inside there is someone I want you to meet.” Loki walked inside. Luna followed behind him. Inside the house was a little couch and table. “Ok stay right there.” Loki ran into one of the rooms.
Luna took a seat on the couch and waited. A couple minutes later Loki came out of the room. Behind him was another man.
“Luna I like you to meet a friend of mine. He will explain everything.”
“Hey I’m soakio. And you must be Luna.” He said.
“Why yes.” said Luna.
“Luna you didn’t understand what I was saying before so maybe you’ll understand when Soakio say’s it. Go ahead.” Loki said.
“Well many years ago a goddess name luniatasha. She was the one who created that crystal and others. There are seven types of crystals. One is the earth crystal that you have now. That crystal controls the earth and everything around it. Second is the moon crystal in charge of the night skies. Third the sun in charge of Sunlight and day. Forth is air. The air crystal keeps all energy in balance. Fifth is water, in charge of the sea’s and lakes. Next is the fire crystal. This controls all fire and Hell. Then last is Luniatasha crystal. She is to keep all the crystals together.
But once when people found out that there were crystals controlling the universe everyone was wanted a those crystals. So on one day luniatasha hid the crystals in a cave. She put a spell on the crystal. That only her generations can lay a finger on them until they take it out of the cave. So your farther has luniatasha blood traits. So when he got that one crystal from the cave anyone can use. See the reason that some crystals were in your world, was because that she created the mirror connecting the two worlds. So only her family or anyone that has held a crystal in their hand can go into that other world.” Soakio was finished talking.
“But of come Loki and Mesh got threw?” Luna asked holding the crystal.
“Well Mesh had a crystal.” Loki said “He fought with luniatasha over one of the crystals. But unfortunately he lost in the battle also fought over one of the crystals. I won but then Luniatasha snatched it from me. She hid 3 of the crystals among others in your cave. Then hid 3 in this world. The last one was created into that mirror. So that only people that held the crystals or are part of her blood…”
Loki was interrupted by a door opening. There came in a woman. She had straight blonde hair. Her ears were pointy. She had hazel eyes.
“Oh My Loki your back!” The women yelled. She gave him a hug. “Soakio I haven’t seen you a while.” She also gave a hug to soakio but tighter. “Who’s your friend?” she asked looking at Luna. She saw the necklace around her neck. She giggled a little bit. “I’m sorry you must be the girl who has the earth crystal. Finally! I’m Jane. If you’re wondering about my ears I’m an elf. What's your name?”
“I’m Luna.” Luna said.
“That’s great.” Jane said. “Now we are just missing one more person.” She sighed. “Come on Luna. If you are going to be in our world you need the proper clothing.” She grabs her hand and went up stairs. “You can borrow some of my clothes for now.” She smiled.
Loki and Soakio just stood there. “Wow we didn’t have to speak.” Soakio said. “So Loki, I got a question?”
“What is it?”
“How did you find Luna? Was hard to find the crystal?”
“What do you think it’s been like 15 years since I came into that world?” Loki said.
“OK what do you think of Luna then?” Soakio grinned. Loki just stood there. “Loki, tell me.”
Then they heard scratching on the door. Loki walked over and opened it. IT was a cat.
“Where were you nekio?” Loki said. The black walked in.
The cat sat on the couch. “Ugh…I’m so tired. I was still looking for that earth crystal. Did you find anything?” the cat said lying down.
“Ya, I found the crystal and the person holding it.” Loki said.
“You did!” Nekio said.
“Ya she’ll be down in a minute. Jane got here before you and down in a minute.”Loki said
Jane came down the steps. She sat on the couch then said “She’ll be down in a minute. Hey nekio ‘bout time you got here.” She said petting his head. Luna came down. She wore a long blue and white dress. “This was the only outfit we can find. The others were two big.” Jane said.
Nekio got off the couch. “So this is her. The holder of the crystal.” He said.
Luna this is nekio.” Loki said “Don’t be fooled he’s not really a cat. Show her Nekio.”
Nekio sat there. He started to glow green. A bright light flashed before Luna and everyone’s eyes. When the bright light was gone. Nekio was no longer a Cat. He was standing on two feet. Black hair and red eyes.
“Nekio is actually a cat demon.” Loki said. “He described himself as a black cat.”
“So should we go now?” Nekio said.
“Ya,” Soakio said. “Now that we all know each other we should go.”
“Go where?” Luna asked.
“I thought you told her where we are going.” Soakio whispered to Loki.
“Sorry I guess I forgot.” Loki whispered.
“We need to take the earth crystal to the cave in this world. Before Mesh knows you are here…”
“So that means we need to be prepared.” Loki interrupted soakio. “We need everyone to work together. Cause our adventure to the cave I going to be dangerous.”
“He’s right. So we should go and hurry. Before time runs out.” Nekio said.
Chapter 4
They all left out for the cave. It was about a 10-11 weeks to the cave if they walked. Loki tooled a couple of swords with him. Handed one to Luna. Jane packed up her money for the trip and clothes. Nekio packed up some Badges and medicine, he also packed some weapons. Soakio packed up two tents and sleeping bags. Luna just sat on the couch with the sword in her hand watching them run around. Jane stopped and saw Luna sitting on the couch looking at the sword.
Jane sat down on the couch beside her and set her bag down. “Hey Luna what’s wrong?” Jane said
“What am I supposed to do with this?” Luna said holding up the sword.
“Well, Loki and soakio are right. It’s going to be a dangerous task, Luna.” Jane said. “We have to do anything to get you to that cave. Even if it means putting our lives endangered. So get ready we are about leave.”Jane went into the other room to check on soakio. “You got everything?” She asked.
“Ya, I think. How about you?”
“Yep.” She said. “LOKI, are you done!” she yelled.
“YA!” Loki yelled back. Loki went into the storage room where Nekio was getting ready. “Are you ready Nekio?” He said.
“YA lets go.” Nekio said standing up putting the bag on his back. They went in the living and sat on the couch with Luna and waited for Jane and soakio to come. Jane came in and following after her was soakio.
“Ok let’s head out before dark.” Soakio said. The three on the couch got up. Loki equipped his sword on his side, Nekio holding all the weapons in his bag, And Luna holding the sword. Soakio went out the door and everyone followed. The outside was so bright. There were no clouds in the sky. They all walked on Luna were in the back frowning and looking down at the sword. Loki looked back and saw Luna way in the back. HE stopped and waited until Luna had cached up. Luna just walked in front of Loki.
“Hey Luna what’s wrong?”Loki asked.
She looked up then said “Loki I don’t know what to do with this.” She held up the sword. “I don’t want to hurt anyone. Do I have to be the one? To take the crystal to the cave.”
Loki took the sword from her. “Don’t worry Luna, We have your back.” He smiled then put the sword on her side so she doesn’t have to carry it all the time. “Come let’s catch up with the others.”

- Interesting story. Some advice though, spell check please. There's some words that aren't in need of capital letters and some that are. Spacing in paragraphs would benefit you, as I had a hard time following large blocks of text. Other than that an okay story with some good description.
