Purple Moon
Full Moon 12
Cade follows Luna and Jace trails after them. Anytime an Alteration gets in their way, Luna kills them before anything happens. When they reach the base of the tower, Luna and Cade look at the damage. The doors are dented and stuck open. There is a hole in the side of the building but no movement inside.
"Are we going to go in the hole?" Cade asks.
Luna shakes her head, "No, Magnus will head for the council, and he will take his time. Jace, am I correct in assuming that the hole was created by Magnus."
Jace nods, "Yes when Dan challenged Magnus, he was launched out of the building."
Luna looks at the hole one last time before walking into the building. The power is out, so there is no blue light showing the life of the building. The doors to the council's room are gone, and Luna walks in with nothing to fear. It's obvious that there was a fight inside with how much the room is destroyed, but there is no one in the room, not even a body.
"He was here, but as you can see, he is here no longer." Luna says and looks up at the ceiling, "He is above us, as well as the council. Is there any way for us to get up there."
Cade shakes his head, "Only the council knew how to get into their private area."
Luna sighs, "That's just like them. It will take to long to find a way up. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to create more damage."
Before Jace or Cade can ask what she meant, they are in the air smashing through the sun in the roof. Luna leads the way to the top of the tower, breaking any obstacles in their path so Jace and Cade can make the trip safely. When they reach the floor that they want, she sets Cade and Jace out of the way and looks at Magnus.
Magnus is holding one of the council members by the shirt with a bone blade against their throat. He smiles at Luna and drops the human he is threatening. The council member backs into a wall where the other members are.
"Well, well, well, what have we here?" He looks Luna over, "You don't look familiar, but I feel like I should know you."
Luna's hair whips around behind her head, and her eyes have gone hard. "What are you doing, Magnus?"
He chuckles, "Just having a bit of fun while I wait for my Queen. I don't she would mind if one or two of these humans went missing. But I don't really think it's fair that you know my name, but I don't know yours."
The roof above Luna cracks and starts to break. A huge pressure fills the room as Luna glares at Magnus. "You wish to know who I am?" Her voice is deceptively soft.
He shrugs, "Not particularly, but you interest me."
The ceiling breaks spraying pieces over the room. Moonlight spills into the room, and Luna's voice has taken on a hard edge. "I am Luna, and I can not let you continue to harm these people."
"And who are you to stop me."
Luna's face is calm, but Cade notices that pure rage shines in her eyes. "Cade, things are about to get a little rough. Make sure the council members don't die."
Cade nods and Magnus starts laughing, "Are you planning to fight me, Luna. You're going to lose the only one who can beat me is my Queen."
