Time is dripping 

"No!" A girl shouts when thrown onto the floor, "Please, no! Please let me go!" She starts crying.

The king smirks from the crowd as a man throws her on the marble platform.

"kill her!" People in the crowd scream at the top of their lungs. 

The woman cries in pain, being thrown onto the platform as they force her to use her magic, and they take all her charm.

The crowd screams and throws things at her as the warmth enters her eyes, and she collapses to the floor.        

The king gets up as the man pulls her body by the arm for everyone to see. "This is what happens when you don't share your magic." 

 A young man covers his sister's face so she doesn't see what's happening. "Nathan?" The girl looks up at her brother, crying, "It's ok, Lilly" He tries covering his sister's eyes, but she keeps moving them. 

"What happened to Luna?" She looks up at Nathan with tears in her eyes. 

Nathan can't even answer because he can't stop crying. 

"Nathan? Can we go get Luna so we can go home now?" She looks up at him crying.

"Lilly, she's de-" He stops talking and falls to the ground crying.

"Nathan!" She struggles to try to pick him up.

"why'd they have to kill her," he hugs Lilly crying as everyone in the crowd stares at them disgustingly.

"Luna!" Lilly cries, hugging Nathan.

"Nathan! Lilly!" A man comes running over, crying. "It can't be true!" He looks up at the platform to Luna lying there, covered in blood and bruises.

The crowd looks at the three of them, whispering, "Ew, is that the cursed thing's family! How can they like her!"

"Don't talk about Luna like that!" He looks up at the crowd glaring

"Ewww, does he like that thing!?! " They back away, acting like they will get contaminated. "That's disgusting! Kill him too!"

  "James, don't do anything. It's not what Luna would want…." Nathan pulls him back

"Let's just go home, guys… Leah is probably crying right now…." She stands us, wiping her tears.

"Yeah, let's go…." Nathan pulls him aside

James pulls away and starts walking home, looking at Luna on the platform. "She was only 18." He walks into the house crying

"Mama, dada." The baby reaches up, and you can see her arms reaching for them.

James reaches down and picks up the baby. "It's ok, Leah, I have you now," he hugs her crying. 

"Mama?" The little girl looks at him, confused.

"She's not here" He hugs her even tighter, crying.  

"Dada?" The girl looks at him, confused 

"James!" Nathan and Lilly run in as fast as they can. "We have to go!" Lilly yells, grabbing a bag and stuffing it with Leah's and her clothes 

"What happened?!" He runs over and tries to stop her

"We have to go! Get clothes and food!" Nathan rushes to fill his bag with clothes and food. "They are going to put us in jail!" 

"What!?! Why!?!" He sets Leah down and runs to get his clothes and food for him and Leah 

Nathan grabs his bag. "Lilly, let me help you!" He rushes and grabs the food and puts it in Lilly's bag

"Thanks, Nathan!" She slides her bag on and grabs Leah

James grabs food, puts it in his bag, and slides it on. "I'm ready, but where do we go?" 

Lilly passes Leah to James. "We have to go to a new town…."

"I don't want to leave Luna tho…" they all walk out of the house, "but it's not like we have a choice…." 

"Yeah…" Leah looks down, sad. "But we have to go before they get us!"

"Yeah, let's go, James!" Nathan runs into the forest, putting his cloak hood up. "Guys, put the cloak up."

"Already did!" Lilly runs after him. 

James hides Leah in his cloak and pulls his hood up. "Mama?" Leah bables

"Leah, it's ok, you have to be quiet" He looks in the cloak to see her crying. 

"James, what's wrong with her?" He walks over and looks at her crying, 

"She's wondering where Luna is…." He looks at Leah, sad

"Can I hold her? I'll hide her." 

"Yeah, sure" He passes Leah to Lilly, "I don't want to tell her…."

"Leah, it's ok what's wrong?" She hides Leah in her cloak and looks at her. "Are you hungry?"

"Foo?" She looks up and stops crying

"Yeah, do you want some?" She wipes Leah's tears with her cloak 

"Ya!" She looks up, happy 

"Ok!" Lilly walks over to Nathan and taps his shoulder. "Hey, Nathan?"

"Huh?" He stops walking, turns around, and looks at Lilly. "What is it?"

"Can we stop here for dinner?" She looks at him and points at Leah. "Leah is hungry."

"It's not safe here. We have to go to a village with one up ahead." He points ahead of them. 

"Ok." She looks at Leah. "We are going to eat soon, ok!" 

"Oay!" Leah smiles. 

"Hey, Lilly, can I hold her now?" He runs over to her. 

"Yeah, it's your kid. I was just calming her down." Lilly hands Leah to James. 

"James, u, ok?" Nathan stops walking and waits for him. 

"Yeah…" he hugs Leah, and a tear falls.

"Hey Nathan, are we almost-" she stops suddenly seeing James. "James…"

James starts walking to the town, and Lilly grabs Nathan's arm. "What happened to him…."

"It's Luna." Nathan looks down and follows James. 

"Yeah…" Lilly follows them, sad.

"I wan Wiwy!" Leah reaches out and makes a lot of noise.

"Huh?" Lilly looks at James.

"No shh, Leah, we have to be quiet!" Nathan hides her.

Nathan walks faster until he gets to James. "James, what's wrong?" 

"Nothing…" James looks down at Leah and stops. "We made it." 

“Foo!” Leah gets happy and wiggles in his arms. She giggles as James pats her head. “Yeah, food.” 

“Wiwy! Foo!” she tries wiggling out of his hands 

“Yeah let's go!” she runs over to Nathan grabs his arm and pulls him over to Nathan

“No!” Nathan pulls his arm away “We are going to find a place to stay the night and eat.”

“Sorry…” Lilly puts her arm down and looks down sad
