Full Moon 7

    Luna looked over at the other tanks. The latest replacement seemed to have settled in. Unlike many of the others she had adapted, her silver hair and red eyes were proof of that. Once she adapted, she had come to call herself Thorn. She had also developed a dislike for Luna, which Luna was okay with since the feeling was mutual.

    Thorn's tanka was not the one next to her, so the ones that lived in the tanks between them were often caught in the middle of their power battles. Their battles never went anywhere since the watchers stopped them before they could prove who was stronger. The others tended to side more with Luna then Thorn since Luna was less violent.

    Thorn hated the watchers with a passion, and anytime one came near her, she tried to lash out at them. She never succeeded in anything but making them jump, so they learned to avoid her tank and sent the new watchers to do the measurements on her tank. Luna hated the watchers too, but she knew now wasn't the time to fight them.

    Luna heard something new and turned to look at a group of watchers and new people. They were discussing something and gesturing at the tanks. One of the watchers pointed specifically at Thorn's tank. Luna looked at Thorn and saw her narrowing her angry eyes at the group. Luna looked back and saw the new people nod in understanding before leaving.

     Luna started to go back into her dreamlike state when she felt Thorn's eyes turn on her. Slowly she looked at Thorn. Thorn did this every time she was tired of picking on the others. One day Luna would show Thorn just how wrong she was to try and pick a fight with her, but it could wait until after the watchers had been dealt with.

    The new people came back and started to haul away empty tanks. Once they were done with that, they talked to the watchers again. The conversation was short, and once they had been instructed, the new people started messing with Thorn's tank.

    Intrigued, Luna paid more attention as the new people bundled up the tanks and started moving it. Thorn was to busy glaring at the people moving her to think about what was happening, but Luna assumed that she was going to a different place.

    Thorn finally realized that she could do anything and glared at Luna as if she was the cause of her movement.

    Luna just looked at her passively and thought, Don't worry, we will meet again. It may be a while, but it will happen. Once she had said, her piece, Luna turned her back to Thorn and entered the dreamlike state.
