Book 2 • Chapter 4 • Legends

I wake up by my phone ringing, who the hell would ring at this time at night. I look at the clock and it is 04:13 in the morning. I hate being awoken up unless it is Eliza. I pick up the phone and I don't even see who the caller is, I just answer the phone.

"Hel-" I don't get the chance to say more because the person on the other line interrupts me before I could even finish my word. Someone really wants to talk to me but you should never wake me up. I'm a very grumpy morning person, I'm warning you.

"Jack come down to the police station, NOW and hurry up" My uncle tells me in a hurry. It takes me some time to figure out what he said. As soon as I did figure it out I hang on my uncle and in a hurry, I get dressed since I always sleep with only boxers on.

When I come to the police station my uncle was waiting for me outside. He looks like a mess. And all of this happened since I was with him yesterday. Has he been awake all night? If so, then does he get any sleep at all?

"What is the meaning of waking me?" I ask my uncle. I'm really pissed off at him right now. Like I said before I am not a morning person so don't judge me.

"I'm sorry Jackson but you have to see this" He says and goes inside and I follow. There is no one here except for few security guards and the police officers who work at night. Otherwise the police station is practically empty.

"What do you want me to see that could not wait til morning?" I ask. This better be good if not I think I will kill my uncle for waking me up when the time is only four or something even though my uncle is older than me I will still kill him. We walk into his science lap.

"Ok, remember a year ago when we found something white in Eliza's blood?" He asks. Ok, what has that to do with anything. James already said that it was very rare but now why does my uncle ask me that kind of a question? I nod my head.

"All right, it turns out that what James said to us a year ago is wrong" He says. Ok now I'm very confused. What is going on? I don't know who to believe right now, my uncle could be telling the truth but then again James has never lied before.

"What does that mean?" I ask him. My uncle did this thing with his hands that tell me to wait here and I did. He walks somewhere and when he come back he is holding a stack to papers. Don't tell me that I have to go through all that.

"Jack that white liquid thing in Eliza's blood system is a liquid of a moon rock. I know that is confusing and you may think that it is impossible but it isn't" He says. He is right about that, I am very confused of what he just said.

"Thousands of years ago some of the moon stones fell to the earth and there are people who took the white liquid out of the moon stones and drank it which mixed to their blood and just continued through bloodlines" He says. Ok this is a lot to take in right now.

"Eliza isn't one of them" He finally says and then stops. What does he mean by that? This is so confusing that I think everyone who would heard this will be in deep thoughts like I am right now at this very moment.

"What do you mean by that?" I finally ask. It takes me some time to find my voice and speak. This is definitely something to be woken up for. You see this is about Eliza and I feel like we just got one step closer to find her than we were before.

"Like I told you that they carry this white liquid through bloodlines but Eliza isn't from a bloodline with this white liquid" He says. Is he trying to make this even more confusing than it already is?

"I have taken DNA from both of Eliza's parents and not one of them has it and then I took a DNA from her younger sister Anna and both sisters have different DNA than their parents" He says nearly smiling. What is he so happy about?

"Eliza and Anna are from two different families and that made me think" He tells me. Ok what kind of a sick game is he playing with me right now?

"What does that even mean? Can't you just tell me this all at once?" I ask, more like I'm commanding him. I know I can be very controlling sometimes but then again who isn't? I want to know what he knows since this is about Eliza.

"All right, their parents have a criminal history so the thing that I am trying to say is that both Anna and Eliza are not their children. Then I went through missing kids file the year they were born and I only found that on the year that Anna was born a child went missing that fits her description" He says.

"I found nothing on the year Eliza was born and then I went through her file and there is nothing about her birth or anything. but that is not all, I think I know how we can find Eliza and I think I know why we haven't found her by now" He says.

"Go on tell me" I say to him. This news makes my brain click and now I am getting more interesting in this than I was before. If he is right then Eliza and Anna have been growing up with criminals. I always thought they were nice people well not until I knew that they were hurting Eliza.

"You may not have been learning about the moon but if you had then you may know some of the thing I am going to tell you right now. All right here it comes, there is a legend about the man in moon have you heard it?" He asks. I look at him with a look that says 'Do I look like I know it' look.

"Ok maybe not anyway, there is a legend about the man in moon and that legend says that the man in moon felt lonely so he went to earth and met a human girl, they got married and had a child. You know the typical happy ending" He says.

"The legend also says that their child disappeared and no one knows where it is or even if it is still alive. No one knows of it is a boy or a girl. They believe that the child died" He tells me.

"Now I get to the part that how we can find Eliza, the night when Eliza disappeared from the hospital the moon turned gray and the moon has never been seen since then but" He says to me. What is it with all of these buts?

"Few nights ago I found something very interesting, you see I saw the moonlight in first time in a year and do you know what that day is?" He asks me. Is this some kind of a question game or something? Why can't he just tell me the answers right away?

"No I don't know what day that was since I have been looking for Eliza instead of seeing what day the moon was in the sky" I say. That came out harsher than I thought but my uncle knows that I am just upset and angry so he is all right, I think.

"When the moonlight came, it was shining really bright and every year on that day the moon is always shining it brightest. Many scientists believe that this is a coincidence but it really isn't. It's actually really simple" He says, getting excited.

"All of this makes perfect sense that it should not even be possible but it is. That day Jack, that day is Eliza's birthday. Don't you get it, Eliza is the man in moon's daughter" He says. Ok this is just too much for me to take in that it isn't even funny.

All of this was happening right in front of my nose but I was and am so stupid and I didn't even see what was happening in front of me. Now it makes sense that Daphne is Eliza grandmother. But my question is, who are Eliza's biological parents?

I think I know why her fake parents who are in jail right now have been hurting her all this time. They want to make her suffer because she is the daughter of the moon but she isn't just that she is so much more. She is the broken girl with the broken smile.

I am going to save her from being the broken girl with the most broken smile. I will fix everything and save her. She will be free from everything, mostly pain. All her life she has felt pain of some kind but she didn't know it yet since she had me and our friends.

When she lost us she began to see the pain that was hiding in front of her and it came so sudden that she couldn't bear the pain so she did the only thing that are sense to her. She started to cut herself physically only to get away from the pain she was having mentally.

"Aren't you gonna say something?" My uncle asks. Honestly I have been trying to talk for a while now but no matter how much and how much I want to, I can't say a word, it is only because my body is in too much shock that I'm not able to talk. This only reminds of Eliza when she didn't talk at all.

"I don't know what I should say" I say admitting the things that I was thinking. I finally manage to speak after few minutes silence.

"Jack I know this is hard and this news are heavy for you but the new aren't over. There is more that you need to know can you take all of this in?" He asks. Can there even be more news? I personally think that this is too much for me to handle right now.

"Tell me, I can take all of this" I say. I feel like he's talking to me like I'm a little child. I hate it when someone talks to me like that but I love talking like this to little children who are much younger than I am, like one to three years old children.

"James and his wife are Eliza's biological parents, and that only means that James is the man in moon. If we find James we can find Eliza" He says. Right when I thought this couldn't get anymore confusing but it really is even confuser.

"How are we gonna find him, no one has seen him or his wife anywhere and now that he could be the man in moon it will be harder for us to find him" I say. So if I get this right James is Eliza's father and Daphne is James's mother. Eliza's family is now really confusing.

"Jack I'm not even over telling you, if you want to hear the rest than keep your mouth shut and do not ask questions right after I stop talking to you, ok?" He asks. There is more? Ok this is so much news that it always gets harder to remember everything he just said to me. But, this is for Eliza and if this helps find her, than I will listen.

"Go ahead and tell me everything and I won't interrupt you again, I promise, well I think I won't interrupt you again. And if I do interrupt you, I'm probably not even trying it" I say. My uncle laughed at me. I don't see how funny I am, in fact I don't want to be funny if Eliza isn't with me.

As soon as I have Eliza in my arms, I'm going to do everything in my power to see her smile and I remember that it can become really hard to make her smile, it is harder to make her giggle but it is hardest to make her laugh.

"Good now I can tell you everything without you interrupting me. In another legend there is said that you can call the man in moon and before you ask how you are going to do that I am going to tell after I have asked you one question, how are you so calm about all of this?" He asks. I honestly thought that he was gonna ask something that I can't answer.

"I honestly don't know, I know that I should be freaking out but somehow I believe everything that you're telling me" I speak my thoughts. I can't tell him that I know Daphne and that she gave me the power to fly, now can I?

"Well then now I am going to tell you how you will call the man in moon. In the legend you'll have to be in a cave, just any cave you want but the problem is that the cave you are in has to be covered in moon stone and it can't be fake, it has to be real" He tells me. I really want to interrupt him but I want to know the rest and he is the only one who knows it so I don't.

"Anyway in the cave you have to have a moon necklace, don't ask me why but that is the only object there is to call the moon. The necklace has to have a silver chain and the charm on it has to be an half moon and there has to be four another charms, two of them has to be stars but the other two have to be a sun and the earth" He says.

"Everything has to be made out of moon stone. Then you will call his name and his real name isn't James, his name actually is Starlight Lunar Moon but some people say that he doesn't count his middle name" He continues.

"His wife's name is Elizabeth Ivy Moon but I don't think you will see her well you can if you say her name too but no one has ever seen her. They say that the man in moon is very protective of his wife" He says.

"The big question is how are we going to make a cave covered in moon stone and make a necklace out of the same thing? The legend says that we have to do all of this with our bare hands. Now this is all I have to say" he said.

"I think I know how we are going to make all of this" I say. Daphne also gave me another gift, I didn't want to mention it because I didn't understand it, with it I can make the things that I need to talk to James or whatever his name is. Since I am used to call him James I am just gonna stick with that name.

"How are we going to do it?" My uncle asked. Oh yeah I forgot that he does not know that I have these powers. Oops.

"Don't worry about it, I will handle it and I will also handle the cave, I'll call you when everything is ready" I say and leave the police station leaving my uncle speechless. Well now it is his time to be speechless.

I go home and begun to make the necklace, I am going to start to make the necklace then I will think about that cave I want to be in. This may take sometime since I want to make this necklace perfect and I have to make sure that my family does not see this.

They would freak out and I don't know what will happen after that and to tell the truth I don't really want to know what they will do. I know that Emma might be exited and wants me to show her more but I don't really have time for that right now.

I need to finish this as fast as possible then I can be one more step closer to find Eliza. If James knows where she is then I have to tell him my mind since I have been looking for her for one year.

If she is with him then it is good but not good enough, I want to have her in my arms but the thought of Eliza with James is good. At least I know that she is unharmed and safe. That is all that matters to me.
