"I'm sorry. Can I...can I do something?" Elle shreaded the paper more till it resembled confetti.

"Forget Elle, is Luna all right?" Elle would have poked Luna, but she was a little freaked out by the whole 'faint!' thing. "Should I go get something sugery from Mum's house?"

In response, Luna blew a raspberry at Elle.

"I'm sorry Luna, I just don't ...I never did it before. Well, I did, but it was different last night." Elle glanced at Jokeph nervously before shifting over to kiss Luna's forehead.

Luna smiled weakly, leaning against Jokeph for support. You needed it. It's okay. I'll be fine.

"Yea. But... urgh." She sat back down, diverting eyes from the mess she'd caused, again uncomfortable. Elle wished Luna hadn't seen it. "I don't know what's coming over me. I could control it before and then last night I met some vampire man and... I was curious! I thought I could control it still."

Luna shook her head, eyes fluttering closed for an instant. Maybe now you can think about it.

"I'm not sure if I want to." Elle rubbed at her temples, awareness of her headache coming back as her worry for Luna ebbed away. "Guess I don't have much choice."
She stood up and started to pick up the books that fallen off the shelf, pushing them back into piles, not sure what else to do for Luna. It made Elle want to do something.
And then all the lights went out. Elle was already fumbling for a flashlight before the second or two it took for her to realize that it wasn't night and those weren't lights that went out. "...wait, isn't it daytime?"

Luna's head rolled to the side and she stared at the door through bleary eyes. Someone's coming.
Before she could elaborate, however, a familiar face had appeared. Vilden Keth, Luna Keth's uncle. Luna could've easily passed for his daughter... or even his sister, considering ho young he looked. But his normally cheerful face was grim.
"Luna? Lu--"
Oh, he did NOT need this right now.
"You. Girl." He wasn't one for pleasantries for the moment as he addressed Elle-- a stark contrast from his normal self. "What can I do to speed things along? I need Luna."

Elle didn't feel all too comfortable about the lack of light, even if sunlight did bother her sometimes, and she was already flipping on a light and searching for the matches for her lanterns.
She stared at the man who'd come in. He looked like Luna which gave her imediant reason to trust him but... what?!
"Um... what's wrong? And what's happening out there?"

"Gimme a few minutes," Vilden answered, rushing to Luna's side and taking her from Jokeph without so much as a protest from the larger man. "Name's Vilden Keth. I'm June's older brother. Lu's uncle." With that, he gently tapped Luna's forehead. "Hey. You okay? I'm going to need you to do something for me."
"Nnnn...?" Luna mumbled, eyes fluttering open again.
"I know you're weak. I don't know what happened, but I can guess. But we can fix you up, okay? That's not important now. We're going to need you, though. I'm gonna have to force a decision, Luna. I know Lil asked you if you wanted to think about the Agents. But we're going to need to take you now."
"Nnn...."
"Hey. You." Vilden tilted his head back to Elle. "Look. I'll tell you what. You know those UFOs you've been watching? They're the cause of the darkness, okay? And we need Luna to help us. Now, I'm going to need you to help me a bit. Where's the nearest body of water?"

"Oh, nice to meet you." She watched him with Luna. He was an adult, even if Jokeph wasn't, and Elle felt somewhat better now that someone was there to think.
"The UFOs? But they didn't... they were harmless to me?! The nearest water is the water tank outside." She stared out of the door again at the sky as if she'd see a UFO again. It made sense that it was one. And it gave her something else to think about.
