"When someone feels off, it is."
Abraham Hicks
One week after the family outing—- Luna can't wait for the incoming holloween party which is tonight. She has already her holloween fairy costume that she couldn't wait to wear for tonight. Isabelle felt the same as she chose to wear a witch costume that her father had bought for her. This would be their first holloween trick or treats and you can see through their eyes the screaming excitement.
The venue where they will do the trick or treats will be a subdivision that Mrs. Smith have arranged for them. All her classmates will attend including Natasha and her friends.
Since their face off, Natasha started to befriend with Luna and Isabelle. She will approach them and talk to them about anything, just to make a conversation. She will also bring gifts for them and food that Luna had refused to accept because there's no special event that taking place that's why Natasha had finally given up.
"Are you excited about tonight?" Natasha gushed out. Isabelle look at Luna, it's like asking her to answer Natasha because she has no intention to make conversation with her. She's still holding back around her, like something inside of her saying to not trust her, nevertheless she sent all those thoughts at the far corner of her brain because of Luna's word.
Where Luna said —-'let's give her a second chance as everyone deserves it.'
'But does she really deserves it?' Isabelle mentally asked herself. And she can't do anything but show kindness to her even she caused so much pain in the past.
"Yes Natasha. Me and Isabelle are very excited to wear our costumes." Luna exclaimed before looking happily at her bestfriend.
Natasha noticed it nevertheless gave her sweetest smile but inside, she's fuming.
She surreptitiously stare at Isabelle with so much hatred in her eyes.
'How dare you to attend the party! You're not belong to socialize with us because you're poor. I despised you.' Natasha mentally sneered as she's trying to control herself by biting her inner cheeks.
That behind those sweet smile and friendly gestures that she's portraying in front of them, beneath her soul, evil desires live and grow. And she has one ultimate desires for now and that is to get rid of Isabelle forever.
"That's nice to hear Luna. Well, I'm gonna be Snow White tonight." She bragged, eyes fixed on Luna thus missed the opportunity to catch Isabelle's expression.
'But no one asking you.' Isabelle mentally commented and added that she should be the Step- Mother instead of Snow White because she's so meany, hence Isabelle scolded herself because it's so rude to think something like that.
"That's great. Well have a nice day Natasha as we need to go now—- see you tonight." Luna says before they dashed outside their classroom where Zues and Lucas were patiently waiting for them.
Isabelle is coming with Luna at their house where Lucy and Delilah are waiting, to help them with their make up and hair.
"Dad, Lucas is off tonight as we are going out, so who's gonna be with Luna?" Diony asked his father while they were at the living room. Zues turn his gaze at his son and smile.
"Don't worry about it, I have 5 that can watch her." Diony frowned at his answer. Confused of who is the other one because he has only 4 brothers.
"You forget about Orion." Zues replied as if he can read his mind.
"Oh yeah. Forget about him." He says and smile to him.

Meanwhile, at Luna's room, Lucy was nearly done in applying make up to Isabelle while Delilah was almost finish in curling Luna's hair. Isabelle doesn't need to curl her long-brown-hair because she will wear a witch hat, while Luna requested her long-wavy-redhair in curls. Lucy will only apply light make up just to enhance more their beauty.
After sometime, the two girls were ready to wear their costume. Once it's on, the girls couldn't stop but chuckles because they look so cute.
"You forget something my dear." Lucy reminds Luna who look at her in confusion.
"You're still barefooted my dear." Lucy says before putting the gladiator sandals at Luna's feet.
Their excitement grows more, that they almost forgot their holloween pumpkin basket for candies.
"Here." Delilah said as she handed the two basket before they all go downstairs. Lucy and Delilah hold their hands, afraid that they might get hurt while walking downstairs.
Once they've reached the living room, Zues eyes lift up and smile appears on his face while gazing at his beautiful daughter. He quickly pull out his phone to get photo of the two girls, where he sent the photo of Isabelle to his father then sent the photo of Luna to all his sons.
Immediately his phone bombarded with messages.
First, from Nathan—- Isabelle's father who was grateful for sending him the picture of his daughter.
Second, from Apollo and Eros who were asking for more picture of his sister, while Hades ask him to wait for him as he'd like to have picture with his sister.
And lastly, Ares and Dionysus asked their father to take some picture of Luna at their garden because she looks so cute in her fairy costume, that amused Zues.
And because they still have time, Zues ushered the kids at their garden and told them about his sons request, which the two have no problem at all.
After few minutes of posing, laughing and smiling at the camera, the two asked Zues to leave. But before they could move, Hades shows up while panting like a lion.
"Hady! where were you?" Luna asked while pouting her lips. She looks so cute that's Zues couldn't resists not to take another photo of her in secret while she's talking to her brother.
"I had football practice and my coach banned me to leave that's why I'm late, I'm sorry baby. Anyway, you look so beautiful, can we have picture together?" Hades pleaded.
Luna couldn't say no because Hades' eyes could melt anyone and before he could say anything to his father, Zues raised his hand as if telling him that he's ready and just waiting for them to pose in front of his camera.
After few shots with his sister, Hades called Isabelle and the three of them pose for another pictures that looks so nice.
"Dad gave me that camera and go with them, I'll take photo with the three of you." Hades told his father who beamed with happiness as he really desired that to happen.
Soon, the four brothers came rushing at the garden and demand to have picture as well with their baby sister. They argued like kids about who will stand besides her or who's gonna take the camera, that caused Luna and Isabelle to chuckle.
The boys stared at the two girls with amusement on their eyes but they were just being ignored by them and continue with their laughter.
In the end, Zues decided to call Lucy, who took the camera from Hades. After quite sometime and taking several photos, Lucy returned the camera to Zues with smile on her face because those shots that she had captured were all breathtaking beautiful.

"Oh Fudge! We're gonna be late, come on kids, let's go." Zues exclaimed as he guides the two girls toward the vehicle with Hades, Apollo, Eros and ofcourse Orion on tow who is wagging his tail.
Ares was unhappy because he wants to come but he couldn't as he has important Mafia's paper works that needs to be done as soon as possible. Diony and Lucas will go out for their date while Delilah definitely will stay with Ares.
Hades cheered that he's the one who'll drive the SUV, but Zues warned him to be extra careful as they have two precious cargo before looking at Luna then to Isabelle. Hades gave his father a salute, as if saying that he will drive slowly and carefully and not like a maniac, that earned a stern look from his father.
And because Hades was indeed a good driver and knows the road, they arrived at the venue on time.
Smile displays at Luna and Isabelle faces because the place was so beautiful and mesmerizing. Halloween pumpkins were hung on every trees and light post. Weird candies, chocolates and cakes were displayed on a long table nevertheless it taste scrumptious, specially the gummy worms that really looked like an earthworms.
Gross!
Anyway the place was started to be crowded with kids and parents that came to accompany their children, like Luna herself.
Isabelle's father was unable to be with her because of work but he says that he will try to catch up. After sometime, Mrs. Smith ushered all the children at the center as they are going to start the trick or treats.
"Luna, we know that you want to be on your own because as you said all the time, you're a big girl, but you have to be careful. We will not come with you because we like you to be happy and be a kid, but Orion definitely will stay with you and Isabelle and that's final." Zues said in soft tone but gave Luna a stern look. She needs to understand that's her life is precious to Zues and his sons that they will protect her by any means.
And Luna, understood that.
And nod her head enthusiastically, that made Zues sigh in relief as well as the boys.
Eros pats Orion's head and ordered him to not leave Luna's side, which earned a low barks from Orion.
"Good boy." He praised before giving him some dog treats that caused him to wag his tail.
And before Luna and Isabelle go to the crowd, Zues and her brothers gave her their kisses even to Isabelle as they considered her as their sister.
"Hey Luna, Isabelle." Natasha greets while staring at their costume.
"Hi Natasha." Luna and Isabelle said in unison. Natasha's eyes flashes after she studied Luna and Isabelle's attire.
"You two looks great on your costume." She said but deep inside it's the opposite, because Luna looks really beautiful in her fairy attire, like she's daughter of a goddess, while Isabelle looks pretty as a witch. She's fuming because how does a peasant like her able to buy those kind of costume.
"Did you buy those." Natasha asked Isabelle in soft tone, for a while Isabelle was speechless as she didn't expect that she will asked her about it.
"Uhm— Yeah. My Dad bought it for me, why did you ask?"
"Oh it's nothing. I just thought some charities gave it to you." She whispered the last sentence to her ear that completely caught her off-guard, and because Luna was engrossed playing with Orion, she didn't hear what Natasha told her who has smirk on her face before turning her back and walk away. Isabelle decided to ignore her and let it slide as there was no reason to prove anything to her. Just like her father said 'you cannot please everyone, so don't bother trying.' And she knew herself that whatever she does, Natasha will always look down at her.
"Belle are you alright?" Luna asked, causing Isabelle to snap out from her trance and look at her bestfriend.
"Yes Luna." She replied. And right at that moment, Mrs. Smith happily announced that they all can start to knock to each houses. The kids erupted in cheers and applause as their eyes filled with excitement.
"Trick or treats." Luna and Isabelle said in unison as the door swung open and a middle age man shows up with soft smile on his face.
"Happy halloween, Little Fairy and little Hermione." He commented in sweet tone before he grabbed lots of candies on his big bowl and put it to Luna's and Isabelle's pumpkin bowl.
Their eyes glint with happiness and thanks the man.
"Your welcome."
The two then bids their goodbye, skipping happily as they proceed to other house. They met along the way some of the kids and noticed that most of their bowl was almost full. And they felt little sad about it, but they both realized that it's still early and more candies will be put on their pumpkin bowl for as long as they won't give up knocking on each door.
"Trick or treats." Isabelle and Luna both said in unison at the young lady who's wearing a pokemon onesie.
"Hello there. Happy halloween." She said with sweet smile on her face, before putting chocolate bars and candies on each one of them. Luna and Isabelle were stunned because it's quite a lot.
"Thank you." Luna and Isabelle said, before waving their hands and say goodbye.
"Wow, I can't believe that our bowl was almost full so soon." Luna happily said while looking at Isabelle.
"Yes. Me too and I'm so excited to taste them all." Isabelle replied before they both giggles in excitement. Their eyes were focus on their bowl that they didn't notice that someone was following them inconspicuously. They were oblivious but Orion could sense it and whine lowly, that Luna noticed immediately.
"Oh don't worry Ori, you will have some candies, once this bowl is full, alright?" She patted his head before she asks Isabelle to go to the next house.
"Hey, Luna uhm Isabelle."
"Natasha? You're alone? Where are your friends?"
"Well that's why I'm here, because there was this house that gives lots of gummy bears and sour patch. You want to come?" She asked. Luna and Isabelle drooled just thinking about the gummy worms and that sour patch. It's really enticing that's why both of them agreed to come with her. They were smiling while walking and cannot think about anything rather than to get at that house and have those treats.
Unbeknownst to them, Natasha was just luring them to a trap and before they realize it, they were already on it and they couldn't turn back. Specially if Natasha was getting some help—- her older sister.
"Well well well, who we have here." Natasha's sister spoke with smirk on her face.
"Natasha? Who is she and where was this house that you told us?" Luna turned her gaze to Natasha, who rolled her eyes and smile sweetly to her sister.
"Well that is my sister—- Stacey and there's no house like what I told you. You're just gullible and that's because you were surrounded by a poor and stupid girl like her!" She pointed to Isabelle. And on that moment, fear started to flow on her body because Stacey was shooting daggers at her. While Natasha's deadly stare was fixed on Isabelle.
"What did we do to both of you? Natasha I thought you've changed and true to us, but I guess we're wrong." Luna said.
"Listen, Natasha has no problem with you, but this stupid Isabelle. It was me who despised you." Stacey sneered. Luna frowned after she heard those and question started to pop up on her mind.
"I don't know you, hence we never met before I guess, so why you hated me?" She asked nervously. Her heart started to beat so fast that Orion could sense but he just kept quiet and be alert for anything.
"You're correct, we never met but eversince you came to my boyfriend's life, everything change. He started to ignore me and everytime we're together, your name always came out from his mouth—- Luna is so cute, my baby sister is like this, like that, she loves this, she loves that and I'm freaking suffocating to hear it. So I asked him to choose and you know what he did? He didn't answer me and walked away and never look or talk to me again. He blocked my number and I was like a ghost to him—— and it was all because of you! You ruined our relationship!" She yelled with eyes filled with rage.
Luna didn't know what to say because she really has no idea what she's talking about.
"I don't have any idea what you're talking about. I swear I'm innocent and never wanted to ruin any relationship." She replied and trying to be calm because if she allow herself to be swallowed by fear, she might ended having her asthma attack.
"Don't play you bitch!" Luna grimaced on her words because she doesn't like to hear no no words, but chose to not talk.
"It's one of your brother. Apollo. We're happy but when you came, it was ruined. And for that you I have to end you!"
"Hey! It's not her mistake! Apollo is her brother and as girlfriend you have to accept that she will be in his life forever!" Isabelle retorted that caused Natasha to shoot her daggers. She was furious and ready to pounce.
"How dare you to talk to my sister like that? Stupid beggar! If you think that I accepted you, well you're wrong and because of that you have to die too!"
Isabelle and Luna step back because the sisters looked like a predator that ready to kill its prey. Stacey smile devilishly because a few more steps and the two will fall to their demise. Waiting for them was a 10-feet deep hole that Stacey had paid to some guys to dig just for this moment. Her smirk never falter, while Luna and Isabelle started to cry, and took a step back again when Stacey pulled out a knife and play it in front of them—- to scare them more.
And because of this, Orion snarled at Stacey and lunged at her that completely caught her off-guard. She thought, that dog was useless because he looks dumb and young but she was wrong because Orion was quite intelligent beyond his age. That even he was under training for just few months—- Luna's brothers make sure that he can protect their baby sister.
And that is what is happening right now.
Orion attacks Stacey's arm that holds the knife. She cursed so much bacause of the excruciating pain and because Orion could still sense that she's dangerous to his Master, he attacks her again on her right leg, vigorously, to make her incapacitated.
Stacey tried to fight back but to no avail and because she cannot do anything, she yelled at Natasha to do what needs to do.
And that is to push Luna and Isabelle. Luna immediately realized what she's trying to tell that's why she called her Orion.
"ORION HELP!" Luna shouts that caused Orion to turn and ready to attack Natasha but Stacey stops Orion by holding his tail that gave time for Natasha to do the scariest thing, and that is to push Luna and Isabelle.

8 186Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing
Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!
