Her long black locks dance in the wind, the sun shining down on the tree she sits against. The gems on the bracelet that is secure around her wrist shine slightly, her sketchbook in her lap. She taps her free hand on her knee as she studies the flower in front of her, her art professor wanted her to have six different sketches of six different flowers.

"Celestial!" Upon hearing her name she looks up, her eyes, one as blue as the ocean the other as gray as a storm cloud, look around in search of the person who called her name.

"Why do you take that class if it has nothing to do with what you're studying?" A soft sweet voice says beside her, her two best friends are side by side looking down at her.

She giggles, "I like to draw you both know that." There's a sparkle in her eyes when she looks at them, her girl best friend Faith and her guy best friend Yunho.

Faith smiles at her, her long blond locks blowing with the wind. Celestial looks into her Hazel eyes, that are framed with glasses, before looking over to Yunho. Yunhos deep honey brown eyes never heaving her as Faith speaks up.

"Your brother is looking for you, said it was important." Celestial nods, quickly packing her belongings before being led to where he brother was. Even though she was adopted Seonghwa treated her like true family, always defending her when someone said she didn't belong.

"There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Seonghwa pulls her into his strong arms, squeezing a little titter than she'd like.

"C-can't breath bubba!" She gasp for air when he pulls away, offering a shy smile as he mumbles a quick apology. "Now what's so important that caused you to look everywhere for me?"

"Hongjoongs friend is throwing a party tonight and he said I could bring y'all!" Her smile drops quickly, she's never been a party person. She finds them annoying with the loud music and drunken idiots bumping into anything and anyone, she opens her mouth to speak only to be cut off by Yunho.

"Oh Mingi and Wooyoung were telling Faith and I about that on our double date last night! You should come Celest!"

She was going to deny but the look all three of them gave her had her nodding as she sighed deeply, she could never say no to their puppy dog eyes. "Ok fine but! Y'all have to help me get ready, I don't go to parties so I don't know what to wear." Faith nods her head, she already had an idea of what she wanted her to wear.

As soon as classes were over Celestial walked down her regular path that she walked everyday on her way home, she was feeling a little down because tomorrow is her 21st birthday. She never wanted a party or to invite over to many people, on her 18th birthday she was told her biological mother couldn't keep her because of what she does.

What made it worse is that they told her her father didn't want her, that's all it took for her to fall to her knees, her brother came to her aid immediately. Since then she's never been fond of "birthday parties" or small gatherings on her birthday.

Sighing she takes out her house keys to unlock the front door, closing and locking it once she's inside. She hears chatter in the kitchen, her adoptive parents must be home. She's always called them her mom and dad, her brother and them are the only family she has so she cherishes them with every bone in her body.

Instead of greeting them she goes straight to her room to finish her art assignment and to get started on her biology homework. Something stops her though, a box sitting at the center of her bed to be exact.

Setting her books and bag to the side she climbs onto her bed, grabbing the medium sized box. She grabs the silver ribbon that is wrapped around it, pulling it gently. When the ribbon is off she takes the lid off, she gasps when she sees a crescent moon necklace.

The crescent moon is carved from a moonstone, wire wrapped around it. If you looked closed enough you could see small waves carved in the middle. Celestial smiles, she's always loved the moon and the ocean. She loves stargazing at night with her brother, he even takes her to the beach to do so sometimes.

"Celestial honey, we have something we need to tell you." She looks up to see her adoptive parents Amber and Timothy.

"Yes?" As her parents walk closer her mother notices the necklace in her hands, "where'd you get that honey?"

"Oh it was on my bed in this pretty blue box." Amber hums, she knew that necklace came from Selene. "We'll speak about it tomorrow ok?" She nods at her parents smiling as she receives a kiss on her forehead from them both.

A few hours later and she's finally finished with all of her homework, she reaches over for her phone that's on her bedside table. Seeing messages from her besties and brother all telling her they're meeting at Faiths house.

Girl answer meeeee
We're getting ready at my house, your brother and Yunho are already here!
Btw the party starts at 9:30-10ish

"Well since it's already 8:30 I might as well head over there..." she sighs as she grabs her purse and car keys.

One she arrives to Faiths house she turns off her car, making sure to lock it after getting out. She doesn't have a chance to knock as the door flys open, the arms that was raised is grabbed as she's dragged inside and up to her best friends room.

"Alright so we didn't tell you but the party is at a beach house, I have your outfit planned already and we're not doing your makeup in case you decided to go for a midnight dip." Faith rushed her into the bathroom, an outfit and bathing suit already on the counter as the door shuts.

"I'll braid you hair after you get dressed!"

(Time skip to the party~)

"We're here~" Celestial looks up from her phone, a beautiful log house was in front of her. She gazed off in the distance where she saw the moon glistening on the ocean water, she smiles at the calming feeling taking over her body as they all step out of the vehicle.

Shutting the door behind her she adjust her shorts and shirt that faith out her in, with her hair braided in a fishtail braid. Faith wore something similar to her, but instead of a short sleeve like Celestial she wore a sleeveless pastel pink shirt with washed out shorts showing the freckles that adored her arms.

She cringed at the smell of alcohol and weed in the air as soon as they walked in the house, the loud music bouncing off the walls already had a headache creeping up on her. Her brothers fingers laced with her own as the walked through the crowd of unfamiliar people, recognizing Seonghwas, Yunhos, and Faiths boyfriends with three strangers she didn't recognize seated around the kitchen table.

As they drew closer Seonghwa pulled her closer to his side, Faith and Yunho running ahead of them towards their lovers. Celestial smiled when she say Wooyoungs and Mingis faces light up once they saw them, bringing them into their arms automatically. Once they reached the table Celestial let go of her brothers hand so he could greet his boyfriend of 2 years, she smiled widely when Hongjoong turned to her placing a gently kiss on her cheek.

"Oh so you know us but let me introduce our friends! This is Yeosang he's the host of this party and the owner of this house." Hongjoong pointed to a slim boy sitting beside him, his brown hair covering his blue eyes slightly.

"This is Jongho him and Yeosang have been together for 5 years!" Jongho held out his hand which she accepted, a bright smile on his face as he pulled away to wrap his arms around his boyfriend.

"Lastly this is San." San smiled from ear to ear showing his dimples, his eyes shined as he looked at her. She noticed his hair was almost a mullet, the top black while underneath was a grayish purple with a braid.

"Hello it's nice to meet you." Celestial felt herself blush when he talked, his voice was so smooth like silk. "H-Hello my name is Celestial."

As time goes by Celestial finds herself walking to the shore line, she made sure to take her socks and shoes off not wanting to get them soaked. She's near a dock, about to reach the water when she hears two voices she recognizes. Hongjoong and Mingi are standing on the dock, there faces creased with worry.

"It's her I'm telling you Joong, you saw the birthmark on her collarbone. All the legends point to her being the lost child of the Moon Goddess!" Hongjoong sighs heavily as he rubs his face in frustration.

Celestial looks down, her shirt fell off her shoulder so her birthmark was showing. Her eyebrows furrow, what do they mean long lost child of the Moon Goddess? Are they really talking about her?

"Mingi she doesn't know about our world, she probably doesn't even know who her mother is! Seonghwa told me he watched her grow up since she was a baby."

"Guys are you seriously talking about this now?" She looks to the side to see San and Wooyoung walking up to them.

"Yes because I know it's her, and I know who her father is."

San sighed, "Mingi can't this wait? Tonight is supposed to be fun-" Sans words came to a stop when his eyes met Celestials, he could see the confusion and sadness written on her face. "Mingi drop it, you can talk about it when we get to the fortress-"

"No because you'll ignore anything I have to say, you know none of our parents wanted her to be born! Her own father didn't want her to be born!"

Celestial felt her chest tighten, her breathing became ragged. She felt hurt, of course she knew her father didn't want her, but how come their parent felt the same way? Tears began to cascade down her face as she stood up, her presence now known to the other three males.

Mingis eyes widen when he sees her tear soaked face, "Celestial I'm sorry."

Instead of answering him she turns on her heels, ignoring the calls of her name as she runs away from them, away from the hurtful words. Thunder clashes above but she ignores is, not noticing the ocean waves getting rougher as the seconds pass.

"Celestial!" Her steps slow down but soon pick back up when she hears her brothers voice, she shakes her head and continues to the only place she believed she could get answers.

Home.
