Kira's POV
We all gathered very early in the morning, ready to set out to the forest of Raventhorne in search of the crescent moonstone. I looked at the faces of everyone who had gathered in front of my house. They all had a determined expression.
I had hoped that they would have a change of heart overnight, wake up to tell me that they couldn't go with me. I really didn't want to put anyone in jeopardy. But here they stood in front of me ready to go with me into the forest of the unknown.
"Why do you look like we are heading to our death?" Isabella blurted out.
"Come on Isabella," Emilia butt in.
"Don't you see her face, see the way she looks at us."
"I am sorry Isabella, it just-"
"Look, Kira, we are all standing here now know exactly what we are getting ourselves into, and we are ready for the worst, so there's no need to be sad or worried about us," Isabella said.
