Love DoveAs Luna was writing she bounced her leg on the floor, her heel tapping quickly as her free hand drummed without rhythm on the table and her penmanship got worse as she scribbled on the page. She could feel it, the incessant tingling in her limbs as danger neared or happened and she couldn't help but look about wondering where it would come from. It wasn't coming toward her either, it was sitting in one place but the scent of blood on the wind sent her running long before anyone had said anything. Her blood cooled and sizzled in her veins and the shakes started before she’d made it outside to see Estelle’s shoulder bleeding and the man she’d been with already heading off toward the place where the small girl had been injured. The young woman landed on the ground and crossed her arms under her chest to hide the way she was shaking with the urge to go. The grocery list was crumpled in her hand as she looked up at them, eyes cold and slit pupils.
“Everyone! On the ground!”
Luna called out the order without mercy, anger in her voice and her body language and already she was moving onto the leader-like attitude she often adopted while she really had to take charge but this time it was unlike most of the others. Her vision had set her on edge this morning and she was not in the mood to deal with the tugging and her flock at the same time. She knew pretty well that Jacque wouldn't want to listen to her and she turned her gaze to him specifically, waiting for him to drop back to the ground instead. Luna was tense, her shoulders and muscles taught while her wings held tight against her back in a defensive motion and it was clear that she was already on edge – even more so then any other day they had seen her like this though it was more often after she had come back from a disappearance.
“No one leaves while I’m gone.”
They all knew Luna would be leaving today anyway, though what they didn't know was why apart from the groceries. She could easily have brought someone along with her but she was adamant right then that they would stay and the way she spoke left no room for argument or discussion.
