Chapter 3 Strengthening bonds of friendship.
- Mommy! Mommy! - said Summer scolding her.
- What is it, daughter? - said the woman.
- What's the matter, you've become so old that you don't even recognize your two daughters anymore? Luna and I, Summer - said Summer explaining to her mother.
- Ahh, it's true, it will be possible... - She didn't say anything else because all of a sudden she hugged both of us and some tears came from her eyes.
- Mom, Luna, Luna, Mom - said Summer introducing us.
- Ayy, daughter, you're alive and now you're here with us, you don't know how much I've missed you - she said hugging me while crying with tears so sincere that they touched anyone who was present.
- Okay, Mom, you'd better dry your tears, stop crying and look for the pendribe, or else you'll be late for your meeting, and you don't want to stain those elegant clothes with makeup - said Summer reasonably while offering her a handkerchief.
- Thank you Summer - she said stirring the
hair.
- If you want, we can help you look for it - I intervened with a smile on my face.
- You guys are the best, do you think that's how I'm doing? - said Mama.
- Yes, you're doing well - said Summer when at the same time I said.
- Mrs. Thunderman, you're perfect - I said while Summer was just saying "you're perfect".
- Hahaha, thanks girls, but hey Luna, you don't have to call me Mrs. Thunderman, if you want you can just call me Mom - said Mom.
- Okay - I said repenting of what I had said lowering my face and turning red.
- Well you don't know my name, do you? - Mom intervened.
- No - I said looking at her face and denying her with her face still red.
- Well, my name is Minerva and it's nice to meet you - said Mom shaking my hand.
- The same goes for me - I said returning to the normal color of my face and of course corresponding to her handshake, really, she was super good and kind.
- Now, where did you leave it last time? - Summer said.
- I don't know, here, but it's gone and I don't know where it is - said Mom pointing to a table next to the stairs.
Suddenly there appeared a boy in a scientific gown running and screaming with a white pendribe in his right hand.
- Mommy, Mommy, Mommy - shouted the boy, who because of his height could be inferred to be younger than Jack, Summer and me.
His scream caused us to be startled, Mom was more startled and screamed at the fright she had given herself.
- Ahh - shouted mom putting a hand on her chest.
- Sorry - said the boy with a good face.
- Well, it doesn't matter, but hey, what do you have in your hand? - he smiled.
- It's your pendribe, I've improved your work, I was going to tell you but I wanted it to be a surprise - said the embarrassed boy.
- It doesn't matter, come on, now give it to me - said Mama cheerfully as if she didn't care if the boy had taken the pendribe.
- Here - said the boy, looking at me in amazement.
- Thank you - said Mom.
- And who are you? - asked the boy.
- Go out and continue with your inventions - said Summer.
- Okay, okay - said the boy going up the stairs.
- Well I'm going now, goodbye - he said opening the door and leaving the house.
- Goodbye - said Summer and me waving.
- Ufff - said Summer.
- Well, what do we do now? - asked Jack, who was behind me.
- I don't know, maybe we could have dinner out - I proposed.
- Good idea, if your sister wants to - said Jack.
- Okay, that's fine, but we have to get home quickly - replied Summer responsibly.
- Well, now let's think about where we're going to eat - said Jack.
- Oh, I don't know - we both muttered.
Suddenly a boy of our age, more or less, with blue eyes, short hair and brown said.
- To Burguer King - said the boy looking at Jack with a menacing look.
- Max, what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here taking care of others - said Summer.
- That's true, but before you go I want to talk to Jack - said Max seriously.
- Okay - answered Jack without even impressing himself.
They walked a few feet away, I wasn't supposed to hear them, but I could still hear their conversation.
- Jack, don't you realize, whatever you do for her you can't become anything to her, the way you feel about her, she doesn't feel the same way about you - Max said.
- You're wrong, she considers me as her friend, that is, we are friends - answered Jack quietly.
- Already, ayy, how good and beautiful, you are friends, or you will be until she discovers what you really are and how your family is, when she discovers that, it will break her heart, but at least she will be protected - said Max triumphant.
- You're not supposed to be his brother and you have to protect and make sure your sister is okay, especially now, because she's new at this and she's going to have a hard time getting used to it - Jack said when I realized that they were talking about me and I got red I tried to act normal, I don't know if Jack noticed that I got red.
- If whatever you say, now, as something happens to Luna, I swear I will pay - said Max in a threatening tone of voice.
When they finished talking Jack approached where I was and I prayed because I didn't notice that he had the red face at that moment, when we were ready, we opened the exit door and just before we left the house I could see how Max looked sideways at Jack with an expression of hatred and repulsion on his face, At that moment we left the house, closed the door and I could see how Jack was discouraged, so I hit him, as close as I could without blushing, he noticed that it was close to him gave me his hand, which I accepted without thinking for a second.
Immediately Summer noticed that Jack had taken me by the hand and she took advantage of that.
decided to leave us alone.
- We haven't introduced ourselves properly - said Jack breaking the silence between the two of us.
- Oh yes, it's true - I said laughing a little.
- My name is Jack, it's nice to meet you - said Jack doing the typical handshake in a handshake.
- My name is Luna and so am I - I said smiling with a small smile on my face as I corresponded to his handshake.
- Well, now let's eat - said Jack as we entered the Burger King! letting go of our hands.
But just as we walked in I noticed Jack got nervous.
- Are you all right? - I asked, stopping at the side of the entrance and exit door.
- Yeah, well, I think we'd better go somewhere else for dinner - Jack said you could tell he was talking nervously.
- Okay - I said trying to smile even though I was worried about him, we left the Burguer King, but it was late as Jack looked back at a Japanese man in a black kimono, the man was serious.
- Jack! - called the man approaching us, he was getting closer and closer to us, then I noticed that Jack took my right hand wrist, his grip was strong and determined but not enough to hurt me.
When the man was next to us, Jack's face seemed to turn white, that is, it seemed that he had immediately paled.
- Hi Dad - said Jack trying not to be noticed how nervous he was.
The man was only looking at me, he had a look and a pose of arrogance, as if he was not afraid of anything, which made me feel helpless, weak.
- Well I see you've found each other - said the father taking a box out of one of the pockets that had his kimono, as soon as he took it out, he handed it to Jack and he did nothing but take it.
- Luna, when I tell you, you try to escape and I pretend that I won't let you and in the end you get to escape and run, do not stop until you get home, understand? - Jack whispered to me.
- Yes, but hey I can't leave you here - I whispered.
- Jack, what are you waiting for? - said the man impatiently.
- I think it would be better if we did it somewhere else - said Jack.
- All right, as you say, now yes, where are we going to do it? - said the man.
- I don't know, on the beach, for example - said Jack sweating from the pressure he felt inside.
- Are you all right? - I whispered without understanding anything.
- Yes - he pretended to smile.
- Who is he? - I whispered.
- He is my father, his name is Anishaki and he is the Japanese god of poison, he speaks Japanese and Spanish just like me, for your sake I would advise you to stay away from him - whispered Jack.
- Ah, okay - I whispered.
- Well, you go to the beach with her I'll follow you back with a chair and a rope - he said taking a chair and a rope.
- Okay - said Jack trying to sound as convincing as possible.
