Luna and the Velvet Queen

From a small town in the deep south lived a young girl named Luna. Many people from the town had different names for the girl, witch, sorcerer, physic among other hateful names they could come up with and snickered under their breathes as she walked past. But really, she was just a girl who dreamt things. She went to school, did activities, had friends the only thing that was different from those of the small towns people is that she had dreams of things to come. At first, she thought it was just a sense of déjà vu soon she realized things were happening exactly the way she saw in her sleep. The first time it happened Luna was 9 years old she had a dream of her father eating dinner with another family, there were kids and another woman even a dog. Luna was only 9 so like any other child would do she woke up and told her mother of her dream she had dreamt the night before. At first hearing the story her mother said, “Oh sweetie it is just a dream”. Luna’s father was a traveling salesman, so he was on the road a lot but always was sure to call and send gifts and souvenirs from all the places he traveled. He was not home much but still her mother insisted it was just a dream. That day Luna came home from school and her mother asked her to sit down and describe what this woman looked like, so she did from her hair to her facial features. Her mom froze in disbelief of what she heard. Next thing Luna knew she was giving her mom all the details of the dream for her mother to write down and look over. She was just a little girl who had a dream, next thing she knew everything was changing her mother and father got divorced, her father confessed to having another family after Luna’s mother found multiple pictures of another woman, a house and a puppy (exactly the same breed Luna had mentioned before) hidden in her father’s files labeled “Tax Stuff”. The people of the town started to talk the word around town was that “the little girl had a vision and knew what was going on”. From that point on Luna did not speak much about her dreams she did not want anything like that to happen again all she knew was she was the weird girl who broke up her family because of something she saw in her sleep.
