When Elizabeth's eyelids slowly fluttered up, and she blinked multiple times, no one was in the chamber. Her body was aching like a nightmare, she rolled the blanket and looked around. Luna wasn't around. Her eyes caught the sky that was getting dark, it was dusk and she slept too much.

She ignored the pain as her mouth dropped and her eyes narrowed. She should have missed the moon rise. The sky had become calm and the hidden spells in rain lullaby had ended.

Her soles kissed the floor and she crept to the dresser in rush, growling at her pain, she grasped her shoulder. Without even thinking about what to choose she picked the green dress and took off the white nightgown. She didn't drag the moving wooden wall to cover her while dressing up.

She slid inside the new dress, gathered her hair that begged for being comb but who cared about them when they were going to give the potion to her sister.

"You are a fool, Elizabeth!"

She tied her hair with the red ribbon and closed her eyes, breathing deeply.

"Kill the grief here and now, let her see you with a happy face!" She encouraged herself, opening her eyes.

She made a forced smile on her face and rushed to the door, her fingers wrapped over the handle, the scratched were yet visible on her hand, she didn't care when it was for Luna and she pushed the handle down, it clicked.

The empty corridor was conveying that everyone was preparing for the full moon, appearing in the sky. She crossed the corridors and went to the maiden staircase, halted near the statue of Goddess Luna. She smiled at the statue, "protect my Luna from every possible danger."

She prayed and went down the stairs. Her hands folded in her chest. The odor of food and sweets organized in the kitchen had made her feel how hungry she was. In Black's mansion, she hadn't much food and her body had lost too much strength during the past journey.

"I am the one who left behind!" She growled at herself, driving her path to the kitchen.

She pushed the door like a starving giant, "Hello, my darlings! Do you have something for a wild roaring belly?"

She shouted with an enthusiastic accent.

Margaret and Barbara were already laughing and singing a village song. They had set many plates and stuff on the carriage to take them out.

Both of the women froze as they saw the young lady change mood and return to her major self.

"Goddess Luna, the muse of fortune! Am I granted with your blessing?"

Margaret said amongst her shock.

"Yes, you did, my dear Margaret."

Elizabeth replied with a devilish grin and roamed to her, holding out her arm and wrapping it over Margaret's arm. She wore a smile, "can I have one of those cupcakes with extra chocolate?"

Margaret slouched, this girl came again with that beasty sweet tooth.

"No, my lady, it can snatch your relish for dinner!" She pouted.

Elizabeth masked her face with an innocent one, like a cat that was playing for its keeper to gain one more fish stick! "but you leave no starving creature to die out of hunger, would you?"

"I never said that I won't feed you, milady!" She released her hand and directed it to Barbara who was chuckling near the cupboards.

"Barbara stop being lazy! Give her a bowl of carrot soup!"

"What?" Elizabeth nagged, releasing her! She didn't prefer it.

"You had a long journey and your body needs it." She went to the kettle. Picking it up the stove with a thick towel, she went to the teapot and poured the hot water inside it.

Barbara came to the stove, taking the soup pot lid away, she dove the scoop inside it, swirling the dilly food.

"We added mushroom for you." She mentioned and poured two small scoops for her to make sure it was going to just withdraw her hunger and would leave space for the main course.

Placing back the lid of the pot, she nudged Ell and led her to move.

Elizabeth sniffed the smell that was telling it was spicy, exactly the way she loved. Roaming to the table, she dragged the chair back and made her seat, picking the spoon she began two eat without breathing. After having the second spoon, she heaved out a breath, smashed the spoon on the table, sat straight.

"Ah, I hate carrot soup but when you cook it, I can't stop myself not to it, I can't resist at all."

She ate another spoon and added, "where is Luna?'

"In the library, she asked Jason to help her find a decent space for the new books to surprise you!"

"Ah, silly girl! You just killed that surprise."

Elizabeth smirked at them.

Barbara shrugged, she couldn't stop her tongue and they knew it so it was their fault letting her know!

Elizabeth continued to eat until finished even the last drops, she loved all kinds of mushrooms, especially truffles that would shape under the soil in spring.

"Thank you, my darlings. Now I can go to Luna! Are you ready for tonight?"

Barbara was overjoyed and ten of her fingers embraced each other, moved to her chest, her eyes sparkled, "may Muse Luna bless our loving Luna."

"Yes, daughter! We are all excited." She pushed the carrier and looked back at Barbara over her shoulder.

"Come, aid me to set the table."

There were three carriers there, one was empty yet, remained there for the food pots and dishes to lay there and would go to the table after it was already set with plates and Cutlers.

Elizabeth sneaked out of the kitchen, this time she didn't snatch sweet because she wanted to have them with young Lucas. She didn't treat him that politely so this manner could fix up that.

She went to the main living room, the floor's dark polished woods were shining. Margaret and the others worked hard to design everywhere for tonight. Her heart pounded harshly, she wished things ride perfect and her sister could gain the light of her eyes back.

She turned to the left aisle and headed for the library. It wasn't easy for Jason to settle with Luna who was sensitive to the library's design.

She arrived at a big wooden door that had dark color. Turning the handle, she went inside but no one was there! It seemed they had already done it but the holy book was on the middle table that had chairs around it.. Luna was curious about it, likewise.
