Helena was confused at first, but nothing seemed to be right those past few days. All she could do, and should do, would be to be there for Dominique and to help her with whatever she’d need help. It was the right thing to do as part of the family that would lead the Eirene coven. “Don’t worry. You’ve just scared me, that’s okay. We can go back to the bookstore, I’ve just closed it so no clients will disturb us.” She replied, hoping that it would give Dominique some peace of mind while her hand touched the woman’s shoulder to reassure Dominique that Helena was, indeed, there for her.

Helena listened to everything Dominique had to say carefully, nodding her head when she felt she should let the woman know that she was paying fully attention and once Dominique was no longer talking to Helena, she sighed. Those days were indeed bad; maybe even worst than Helena assumed it would be. “Nadina is trying to hurt you? We can stay inside, maybe I can call Cassidy later to approach her about this. And if she tries to find you, I’ll protect you… okay?” And with that she turned to head back to the bookstore, right next to Dominique so the witch wouldn’t feel alone or insecure.

Or you’ll also be the cause of her death. Helena heard, she couldn’t quite tell who was talking this time. Her father or her enemy. And instead of giving it attention, she tried to ignore it. “Maybe you’re imagining it, or did you actually see her around you? When was the last time you’ve met her?”

Dominique felt so much better when Helena spoke to her, she made her feel less insane as they two spoke more. “Thank you Helena, you have no idea how much I owe you for this.” As they began to walk towards the bookstore, Dominique began to think when the last time she saw Nadine was. “It’s the weirdest thing, she has a key to my apartment so she came in which was unusual but started threat  me and saying things that she would never say... It was like I wasn’t her best friend I was her enemy... It scared the hell out of me. I can’t reach her which scares me even more so I thought maybe I could see if there was a spell or something to help... Why do you think I would be seeing her?” Dominique glanced at her, almost surprised she hadn’t evaporated. 

“I don’t want to sound crazy but something else is up but I don’t know if Nadine is just messing with me...” Dominique began, frowning softly it was rare for her to frown or to cry but lately it seemed to start become part of who she is becoming. It’s just a lot is going on and I don’t know what to believe and not to believe anymore.” She began to question if Nadine was real or not, she hoped she wasn’t because if she wasn’t things would be a lot easier on her then they were now. Dominique licked the bottom of her lip before taking a deep breath. “Well there is this rather odd thing happening that I wasn’t going to mention because I just assumed it was Nadine casting an evil spell on me, but I can’t seem to hold anything without it... Without it like evaporating... Now I know that sounds crazy but I’m not going crazy, all this started happening when I woke up from my nap yesterday after the eclipse!” Dominique suddenly became nervous, she was nervous because what if Helena didn’t believe her and decided not to help her with the situation. Dominique felt helpless already and not having the bookstore to help would make everything worse. “Please believe me.” Dominique begged.

Helena assumed that everything would end from the moment the solar eclipse was over. But as time passed, she was growing tired of holding onto that hope. For that, Cassidy would have to forgive Helena, because she couldn’t remain hopeful, when whenever she looked around, she would see a different version of her father trying to hurt her with her own failures and weaknessess, and then, there was also Charles. Someone she had thought that was her friend, and in the end, not only he had truly hurted her, but now she was seeing him everywhere. Giving her the what ifs of their friendship, laughing about the fact she trusted him when she shouldn’t have, confusing her with words that made her feel that maybe he had been a good friend despite it all. It felt as if she was losing her mind, and she was tired of it.

Crossroads had always been her refuge, a place to stay whenever she didn’t want to deal with whatever was happening out there in Moon Island, whenever she felt she had to drown in a spiral of self-pity. But the moment, she decided it was time to go home, due to the lack of clients getting inside of the store and with that, she turned off the lights and locked the door. The moment she was out, Helena felt someone passing by her and heading straight to the alley close to the bookstore. “Please, don’t be my father or Charles,” she whispered to herself, closing her for a second to be able to remain calm before she continued her way. Acting the same way the protagonist of a horror movie would, following by herself a potential danger. And when she finally got close, Dominique’s words made Helena’s heart beat faster before she took a deep breath. A friend, or at least an acquaintance… far better than seeing the images her mind was creating these past few hours. “Domin– it’s me. It’s Helena, you’re okay now. There’s no need to hurt me.“ She tried to share words that would assure Dominique that she was safe, while ignoring the fact that Charles was standing right behind Dominique. "Is there someone following you? Do you need my help? We can get inside of the bookstore if it would make you feel safer.”

When Helena appeared it almost seemed like a gold light appeared behind her. She was so happy to see her, even if they weren’t as close as Dominique would like to think they are. It still made Dominique feel a little bit better about the situation they were in.

“Please. I was on my way there. I don’t mean to be rude but something is wrong with Nadine and I need help trying to figure out what happened to her. I think she is trying to hurt me, and won’t tell me why I think someone or something is messing with me by turning her against me.” Dominique was unsure if she should mention the fact she couldn’t pick anything up without it evaporating because she didn’t want Helena to believe she was crazy, which Dominique couldn’t even decide if she was going crazy or not. She had faith that if she worked with Lena the two of them could most likely figure it out.

Petra sighed. There were no intentions coming from the werewolf of hurting those who were part of the coven she was aligned with, nor of the new pack she was in. But somehow, it wasn’t what happened when she was between Damien and Emmanuel, and she feared that it could happen again. She had no intentions of meeting anyone during her walk by the beach and yet, Dominique was right in front of her. She isn’t trustworthy, Petra. Listen to her heatbeat, and you’ll see that whatever she tells you, it will be a lie. The words reached her ears and once she looked at her right, Petra saw him again. Damien was feets apart from both herself and Dominique, and yet, it felt as if he was standing right next to Petra. “Just, trust me. There’s something wrong happening. We’re still in the dark. It’s not safe. Did you hear anythin from the coven?”

She was spilling words as a way of keeping her mind occupied and to ignore the words coming from her alpha. Petra hoped that Dominique would fill up the silence with her voice and that, somehow, it would be enough for Petra for forget about her alpha, to think that soon he’d disappear and she would be able to move on with her life without harming others. Because, for the first time in her life, she didn’t want to harm anyone. It didn’t feel as if they deserved. “I don’t know what’s happening. But it doesn’t look good. That’s all I can say from what I’ve seen so far.”

While she could’ve said Dominique was the first person she was seeing that day, Petra would be lying. She had seen others, hurt some. She knew that falling asleep wasn’t an option, but Petra was wondering if anything during those hours and days could be an option. She felt in danger everywhere she would head to. She’d see Damien on every corner of her path. She just wanted some peace of mind, to be able to understand what was happening, because the lack of information about it was exactly what was driving her insane. And with it, she knew that it was only a matter of time until her anger would start building up. If you end up fighting with her, Petra… will you win? Are you still the greatest wolf you used to be in my pack? Can you show me again what are you capable of? “No, j… I mean, are you okay?” Her words would be directed at Damien until she was reminded that the person in front of her wasn’t her previous alpha. But a witch, a beautiful and kind witch that seemed to be in distraught. And that was the person she should focus on, or try to.

Dominique listened to Petra, they were both feeling uncertain about something but neither one had any answers, which concerned her even more. “No I haven’t been able to pick up my phone, I think someone has a spell on me or something... I can’t get in touch with the coven you are the first person I’ve seen and I was hoping you had a little more information than I did but I guess we are both in the dark.” As they spoke about the troubles they were facing, Dominique noticed Nadine getting closer but her whole body language was off. She was walking straight towards them. Dominique looked at Petra and back to Nadine but she was gone, which confused her even more.

“Are you alright?” Dominique asked, noticing Petra seemed slightly off, she didn’t notice until know how Petra was acting, something in her eyes told Dominique she wasn’t all there. “You seem preoccupied, did something happen? I can try and help.” She knew that if the pack was in trouble so would the coven and Dominique didn’t want to see anybody hurt. When Petra asked if she was alright, Dominique frowned “I think so, but I’m a little worried about you.” Without thinking Dominique reached forward placing her hand on the wolf shoulder.

It was easy to figure out after Cassidy’s initial shock seeing Castalia disappear from the shadows of the forest. Perhaps the only reason they could maintain their grasp on reality was the very real fact that Castalia was dead, that it was impossible for their mother to make an appearance like she did in the forest. But that didn’t stop the witch from hoping they would see the woman again, real or not.

News had began to spread about the hallucinations, and all Cassidy could do was hope no one would get hurt by their own nightmares coming to life. There were questions they needed answered about the hallucinations, answers they would find out themselves as they caught a glimpse of what seemed to Castalia round the corner between two shops. Mom.

But as they followed the woman around the block, they were met face to face with another– very real person and member of their coven: Dominique. She seemed frazzled and stood defensively as her voice called out a barking warning.

“Dominique, it’s me. Cassidy… you’re okay. It’s just me.” They were careful in their steps, coming closer to reveal their face to the elemental witch.

When Cassidy appeared from the shadows, Dominique took a step back, she felt concerned for Cassidy’s safety, Dominique couldn’t trust her own sanity at this point and wasn’t going to take the risk of putting anyone else in danger, especially someone in her own coven.  “I’m sorry Cassidy, but stay away from me something is wrong and I have to fix it.” She knew Cassidy was a kind person but Dominique didn’t want her to get mixed up in her problems and her hallucination  of Nadine were getting worse as the hallucination of Nadine was now hunting her down. Dominique couldn’t understand differ what was real and what wasn’t. She tried to make herself believe that all of this wasn’t true.

Dominique heard a distant humming of Nadine and Dominique favorite song growing up and shivers went down her spine. Nadine was on her way, she couldn’t do much because she couldn’t hurt Nadine even if she was trying to attack her. . “Listen we have to go like now. I don’t know how to fix this and something is wrong with Nadine!” She said urgently. She didn’t have time for Cassidy at the moment but wasn’t trying to be rude.

[witchoftheisland-blog]

Dominique decided to stay home and watch the eclipse from her apartment, she had just gotten in a large order of new make up and she was really excited to try all of it out. She knew trends were constantly changing and she needed to stay up to date with them. After  spending most of the day breaking in her new brushes and contour kit. She walked outside with her ellipse proof glasses and watched as the moon covered the sun and the town became dark. Dominique stomach became upset as she walked back inside, she thought about what she had eaten that day which wasn’t much due to her obsessing over the make up. The only thing she could think of was the chicken in her salad was expired but she brushed it off and thought a small nap would help her feel better, it was a good thing she hadn’t made plans for the day so she found her queen size bed and set an alarm for an hour. As she began to drift to sleep she thought she had this horrible nightmare of Nadine, her best friend who was in Dominique bedroom, taunting her and Dominique couldn’t move, she was frozen.

“You’re so weak, if it wasn’t for me you wouldn’t be anything! I can’t believe you actually think people like you.” The evil Nadine let out an nasty laughed before walking towards frozen Dominique. “You think you can put a mask on like everything is going to be okay, when we both know it isn’t... We also know if this town were to go to war again you wouldn’t survive...”

Beep. Beep. Beep.

As her alarm went off, Dominique sat up, her heart pounding as she reached for the water bottle next to her bed, the water bottle began to feel lighter, when she glanced at it half of the bottle was just gone... It was evaporating in front of her very eyes. Dominque closed her eyes and when she opened them again the bottle was gone.

“Damn I must be half asleep still...” She whisepered to herself, jumping out of bed, walking towards her kitchen brushing the water bottle incident and the nightmare off. She grabbed the orange juice from the fridge pouring herself a glass. She yawned and put the orange juice down. It felt as if she didn’t even sleep and her whole body felt worse. As she grabbed the orange juice to put it back in the fridge, the orange juice was gone, just like the water bottle. “Okay, is this some kind of joke?” She called out. “Nadine, if you are doing this to mess with me it isn’t funny and i’m getting annoyed.” Dominique wasn’t in the mood to be dealing with anyone’s game right now. As she grabbed the glass full of orange juice and brought it to her lips she tasted nothing and noticing that the glass was almost empty, she screamed as she watched in horror as the actual glass started evaporating in front of her eyes. She dropped the glass awaiting to hear the noise of glass breaking but didn’t. Dominique was in full panic mode, she had no idea how to feel or what to do... Everything she was touching was evaporating out of her own hands! She needed to find her spells or find something that could help find whoever did this to her. When she picked up her journal of spells in the living room, she watched as the pages began to evaporate as well, years and years of hard work just evaporating as if it was water...All Dominique could do is run, she dropped her journal and ran to her front door but was stopped but a familiar face. Nadine was standing in front of the door, blocking her in. 

“Oh no you are not going anywhere... It’s kind of sad watching you freak out and not be able to save your own journal... Its kind of pathetic really.” Nadine hissed at her. “I wonder what your parents think of you, spending all your time wasting on make up when you could be focusing on become a better witch but you spend time on such stupid mundane things like make up or hair. You must be really proud of the loser you have become. You side with Eirene yet you disappoint them by not truly being on their side because if you were, you would stop being so friendly to everyone and just stick by your coven side!” Nadine was stepping closer and closer to Dominique, only Nadine could find the knives to Dominique’s heart and twist it even more, destroying her piece by piece.

 “You aren’t real... None of this real.” Dominique tried to convinced herself.

“Yeah keep telling yourself that.” Nadine was right in front of her, inches from her, Dominique could feel her breath on her own. She realized in that moment that what she thought was a nightmare actually wasn’t. This was all real and Dominique was stuck in the middle of it,  the only thing she could do at that time was run. She pushed Nadine and ran out of her apartment, she didn’t even stop to see if she had fully closed her front door.

[witchoftheisland-blog]

Dominique was attempting to calm down, she couldn’t stay in her apartment due to the fact every time she picked something up, it would evaporate out of her hands and she couldn’t calm down or figure out how to stop it from happening. The only thing she could think of was trying to find someone or a shop in town to help solve her problem. As she walked around town she couldn’t help but notice how quiet it was along with the feeling that was following her. Could it be Nadine following her? Dominique thought she had gotten away from her, That was also on her list of things to do, fix whatever happened to Nadine to make her go after Dominique like she did. Dominique quickly picked up her pace hoping that nothing was going to go down in public if it was her best friend. As she turned a corner her long brown hair which normally was perfectly done in her beach waves was frizzy and spilling over her shoulders. She felt like a mess, she couldn’t pick up a brush to even brush her own hair. She couldn’t call anyone in her own Coven to help her through any of this, The only person she had seen was Nadine and she was acting crazy, Dominique had never felt so alone in her entire life.

As she walked down an alley between two little shops, Dominique was trying to find, she heard footsteps behind her she knew she couldn’t keep running, It was time for her to stand her ground. She stopped walking, her back still turned to the person behind her, taking a deep breath she mentally and physically prepared herself for whatever she was about to deal with. She turned around, looking at the person behind her, who she couldn’t quite see yet but it didn’t stop her from standing her ground.  “Why are you following me! I can seriously hurt you, and I will if I have too!” She snapped, her tone was harsh and cold. Dominique began to shake with anger, waiting to see who would emerge from the shadows.

Running seemed to be the wisest choice that day, she couldn’t work when she didn’t feel well and keeping herself active could possibly get her far away from her ghosts. It had been twenty-four hours of a constant nightmare after the solar eclipse began. Damien had abandoned her, left her to die in the middle of a fight, making her assume that it was her last task, something she should go through for her pack, for her alpha. Later, Petra had the knowledge that it was far from that, he just didn’t care that much about an injured wolf. It was the last time she had seen her previous alpha before she joined Lexine and later found her second home in the Mensah pack. However, there he was again. Haunting her vision, making unable to have a proper night of sleep, of going through her daily activities without considering the possibility that she was going mad. 

I’m the man that helped oyu become the powerful wolf you are. So, what? You’re going to ignore me now? Are you afraid of listening to my commands again?

His voice echoed inside of her mind and in her surroundings. If she could hate him, Petra would. Perhaps the frustration and annoyance of being left behind due to one battle that she had failed and got injured could be seen as hate. She didn’t know, she hadn’t dealt with feelings before; and now, that he was everywhere she went, Petra just wanted to get rid of that image, to let go of Damien. But she also felt tempted to listen to what he had to say. It had been like that for twenty-one years. It was the kind of bad habit that was hard to quit.

The sound of the music going through her ears were merging with Damien’s laugh, and the minute she closed her eyes to ignore that voice and try to focus solely on the music, she felt a heartbeat coming closer. Petra was too fast to stop, but she tried her best to do so. A few inches before she would bump against Dominique. Again, they were meeting against all odds. “It’s not safe out here.” Petra assumed, due to her own acts and disturbances inside her mind. And for a second Dominique was no longer Dominique she was Damien. She’s the enemy, Petra. They are trying to deceive you, this whole coven is lying to you. Her eyes grew wider as she shook her head. “It’s not the best way to be out here, Dominique. Trust me.”

When the eclipse hit the Island Dominique was home in her cozy apartment. She woke up in a small haze as she reached for her water bottle on the nightstand next to her, she felt the bottle begin to become lighter as she watched the water bottle itself began to evaporate. Dominique rubbed her eyes before realizing the water bottle was gone completely. She brushed it off, thinking it was because she was half asleep as she climbed out of bed and walked into her kitchen she couldn’t help but notice everything felt slightly off. She grabbed a glass and filed it with orange juice and when she picked it up she watched it begin to evaporate again. Words couldn’t describe how she was feeling, she quickly let go of the cup, but instead of it dropping to the ground it was just gone. Dominique was freaked out, she  couldn’t stay in her apartment, everything she was touching evaporated like water in her hands, she thought she was going a little crazy. She needed to clear her head and decided to take a quick walk. As she locked her apartment up her own keys evaporated and frankly Dominique didn’t know if she really did lock her apartment up or not but as she walked towards the shore, she felt eyes watching her. She was comfortable driving her car, so she walked to the one place that made her feel better.

The water.

As she walked  towards the shore it should have been a quick walk wasn’t. The eyes that she felt that were watching her, grew stronger and stronger, when she turned around she could have sworn she saw her friend Nadine. She called out “Nadine?” and heard nothing, which scared her even more. When Dominique finally made it to the shore, the scariest thing happened to her, she crouched down to the sand, and grabbed a small handful. The water felt distant and off, the sand in her hand evaporated. She had no idea what to do she couldn’t believe how alone she felt, the gut in her stomach wouldn’t go away, she was too preoccupied and almost collided with Petra because she was too focused on the water. It was almost a sigh of relief when she recognized Petra until the reaction she got from her made the feeling in her stomach twist.

“Why? Your like the first person i’ve seen all day! What is going on!” She asked Petra, she was beginning to consider if she should reach out and touch her to see if she would evaporate but decided she wasn’t going to risk it. As she waited for an answer, she noticed out of the corner of her eye, a figure in the background, it was small but coming straight towards her. Dominique tried to brush it off as if it was nothing but the hair on her neck stood up.

“Don’t try to scare me any day of your life, unless you’d like me to hurt you. But, yes… perhaps especially during Halloween.” Petra didn’t quite get the joke around the woman’s words, but since Dominique seemed to be in a good mood, Petra tried her best to share a smile, while taking some time to take a deep breath and to feel her heart beating at a normal pace. “It’s okay, I’m just… trying to take some time to myself today and relax during my day off. But, I guess I’m failing at doing such thing. I’m Petra, yes… and you’re Dominique if I’m not mistaken.” At least they knew each other’s names, which for Petra was a good thing. After all, it’s been a whole year that Petra been siding with the coven the witch was in. “Who did you think I was?”

Dominique hated fighting, she knew she could handle herself if she needed too but avoiding them is what she liked to do mostly. “The beach is the best place to relax, this is where I come when I need a break from everything.” She admitted truthfully. “I’m sorry you can’t relax, sometimes I just need a shopping day and my getting my nails done if the beach isn’t working! From behind you look like my friend Nadine!”

So-Young grinned at the other’s eagerness to be friendly.  She had a niceness that So-Young hadn’t seen in many people and she admired it.  She held out her hand and shook the other’s.  “I’m So-Young.  Nice to meet you.  I’m still pretty new here so I guess that would explain why you haven’t seen me yet.  But I really am starting to see just how easy it is to spot a new face here.”

“So-Young, that is a beautiful name!” Dominique mentioned with sincerity. “Yes, new faces are easily spotted but its totally a good thing especially with me! Do you mind if I ask, why you moved here?”

leonvg:

“Can anyone still be a stranger in Moon Island?” Leon laughed a little bit, lowering himself into the water to wet his hair and then coming back to the surface shortly after. He pushed his hair back, then rubbed his hand over his face in order to wipe the salty water off his eyes. Leon quite enjoyed spending time with Dominique out of everyone else in his coven. His family aside, of course–and Atticus was family, so… But the witch had something in her, in the way she viewed things, that would often bring a smile to Leon’s lips. “Look at you, trying to make me feel special. Don’t you ever get tired of it? Feeding my ego like that?” He joked because–what else could he do, in his current state of mind? “I’m doing alright. I was out of town for a couple of weeks, but I’ve been back for a few days now. What about you? What’s been happening in your life?”

“Believe it or not, I have noticed a few new faces... Isn’t that crazy?” Dominique giggled before moving to float on her back, letting her long brown hair float around her shoulders, the feeling was calming. “Yes, I actually hate talking to people and this is all a huge act!”She giggled before scratching the side of her head. “In all reality, I don’t see it as feeding the ego I feel it as me bringing happiness to someone, but if they take it as an ego thing thats their problem.” She thought about what she had been doing these last few days and nothing really. “I really just spent the time in the water and working on some new spells. It’s been a slow week and I am taking it as a win. Did you have a good time getting out for little?” She turned her head towards him.

Paolo smirked he couldn’t complain, her reaction was much better than the one he have imagine. “I’m very happy that you think that way, I will make sure to at least be more fun than your old friend” He winked at her “Very nice to meet you, Dominique, I’m Paolo and probably you haven’t because I got here a few days ago. I’m assuming you are local.” Paolo looked around and smiled “Yes, you guys have a beautiful town and this place is starting to be one of my favorites.”

Dominique couldn’t help but smile, a new guy in the Island that was funny. Her day was definitely turning into something that she wasn’t expecting. “Well Paolo, since you are new I need to know. Has anybody given you the town tour? If not, don’t make any plans for the rest of the day because you are stuck with me!” She said excitedly, biting her lip awaiting his answer.

constancehwang:

Constance wasn’t much of a swimmer, but floating in the water brought some semblance of peace to her when she needed it. There was a nice calm being in the water, and only having the sky to stare up helped clear her jumbled thoughts of the world going on around her. She had needed that calm after finding out her aunt had spoken to her mom the previous day. Her aunt had reassured Constance that her mom had asked about her and sent her her love, but Constance knew that was a lie. Her mom hadn’t asked about her once since she left Oregon. And so she swam to forget about the past that still haunted her. 

She didn’t know how long she had been floating when she heard a familiar voice. Getting out of her floating position to tread water instead, she glanced around. After looking around, Constance spotted the person in question she thought she had recognized. Her brows pulled together in question as she watched Dominique speak to someone else in the water. Swimming closer to the interaction, she didn’t recognize the person Dominique was speaking to, but based on the other person’s face, they didn’t either. She waited until the other person swam away before she spoke up, smiling. “Made a new friend?”

When Dominique swam up to the strangers, things became awkward and awkward fast. She tried her best to make light of the situation but it only ended with the girl swimming away leaving Dominique to herself, for a second she was embarrassed but quickly shook it off until she heard a familiar voice which made her smile. It was her dear friend Constance, who she hadn’t heard from in a while, joy filled her stomach as she turned around, covering her mouth with her hand holding back a small burst of giggles.   “I totally walked up to that girl, thinking she was somebody that I went to high school with but I was so wrong.” She giggled before jumping on Constance’s back. “Hello stranger, where have you been hiding lately? And why are you here without inviting me!” Dominique’s tone was playful but a hint of serious was also there. “I miss you!” She climbed off her back before anything and began to swim a little awaiting her friends response.

Of all the things his parents got him into to calm his energy as a kid, water sports were one of the most effective ones, he could swim for a long time and come out tired and completely relax ready to sleep, he truly loved swim, so having the opportunity to be able to do it in this town was definitely a delight. When he felt someone got close to him with a voice he didn’t recognize to him he turned around to see if he could recognize them. She was a stranger and she seemed to be both disappointed and ashamed so there was no point in making fun of her. “Sorry that I wasn’t you seemed pretty excited, kinda making me wish I was someone else.”

When she realized the man in front of her wasn’t upset with her practically sent her over the moon. “No it’s okay, I’m probably more excited now that I met a stranger if it was an old friend. My name is Dominique, haven’t seen you here before, whats your name?” She smiled before feeling the current change slightly. She let one hand travel across the water. “I absolutely love it here, today is a perfect day don’t you think?”

emmanuelxalpha:

He nodded, happy to share and catch up.  “That’s very true, it’s a little hard to go to the beach when it’s the middle of winter.  But then you can always use the excuse that you are ice fishing.”  Emmanuel wasn’t too sure if ice fishing was even a thing in Moon Island.  He had been there practically his whole life but he never was much of a hunter, well in the human sense of the word.  When Dominique allowed him to have some, he took a small handful of her muffin.  “I’m doing alright! It’s been a bit of a whirlwind for me and the pack, but we are hanging in there.”

Dominique giggled at the idea of her fishing, she took a small piece from her own muffin and shook her head. “I guess that could be an excuse a not very good one though.” She listen to Emmanuel before agreeing with him in silence. “I’m sure it has been, but you are doing your best and I see that, we are so lucky you are with us. Do you have any plans for today?”

Being born in a fishing village, So-Young was no stranger to water.  In fact, she had found herself almost drawn to the water whenever she was near it.  There weren’t many happy memories she associated with her home but water was always connected to happiness.  It was where she swam with her brothers and played with them before life started to pull them away from each other.  It had been over a month and So-Young was surprised in herself that this was her first time being in the water since arriving at Moon Island.  She was completely lost in thought when she started swimming, not noticing someone coming in the water as well.  So-Young turned around and started swimming towards them when they called after her.  She waved it off at the mistake.  “Oh that’s okay! Though I guess technically you haven’t seen me so whatever you were going to say would be accurate.”  She said with a laugh.

Dominique met the friendly stranger with a smile. Most of the time when Dominque met someone it was slightly awkward at first but she would soon enough have them comfortable. This time it was different, things weren’t awkward which was a little surprising but Dominique was totally accepting it.  “Okay thats good to hear. I’m Dominique by the way!” She extended her hand towards the girl. “I haven’t seen you around and I know mostly everyone here. What’s your name?” This was one of Dominique’s favorite part of her day, when she was able to meet new people and get to know them.

Emmanuel had a warm smile on his face when he saw that he was sitting next to Dominique.  He always liked her, wishing he had even half as much of her happiness and optimism.  So Emmanuel always enjoyed being around Dominique when he could.  “Oh I am definitely down for sharing some of yours, it really does look good.  Plus you can never go wrong with baked goods in general.”  He smiled again and held his muffin closer while looking where he should dig in on her’s.  “How are you doing?”

Dominique took about a quarter of his muffin, she maybe tiny but she could eat like a pig sometimes. “Same old same old, just enjoying the last few weeks of summer. I love the summer because I get to use the excuse of it’s summer i can go in to the beach whenever i want.” Her head bobbled back and forth as she talked and popped the piece of muffin in her mouth. She handed Emmanuel her muffin. “Take as much as you like, and how are you doing. Anything new?”
