Anden
The Sun and the Moon
In an endless game of hide and seek
It happened too fast. Beneath the Moon's embrace Anden was quicker, part of the blessing/curse the Voice bestowed onto all of her 'children'. Anden grabbed onto Dani with one arm, then jumped onto a nearby tree, using his sticky hands to hang off the side of it. He didn't hear them. He should have heard them. Was he too distracted? If it wasn't for Dani's warning they could have been dead.
Their eyes are what sent chills down Anden's spine, calling each of the spikes along his back to raise. "It's ok." Anden whispered. "We'll be safe up here." Their eyes seemed to follow the pair as Anden brought them higher into the tree tops.
It was always the way that the Sun giggled that brought a smile to the Moon. In this moment though, beneath the Moons gentle caress, it was that all-too-familiar giggle that caused Anden to lose his grip on Dani. Somewhere in the treetrops above she was there. Anden was sure.
Call it a reflex, or something else, but Anden managed to catch Dani, pulling the pair onto a thick branch where they could rest. "Did you hear that?" He asked looking further up the tree.
It couldn't be... But it could. But was it? Had the Moon finally caught up to the Sun?
