" hey dad what's going on "
" stiles what the hell is here this time "
" what "
I said and with slightly drawn together brows he threw his head so we'd follow. We walked around the small morgue that could hold a body or two and there was a big hole in the floor and before I could say anything Luna said
" it's the Nidhogg you had a body on the table didn't you "
" well yes "
" they were cut open no "
She said as she got closer to the hole
" yeah, how ... who are you "
" dad this is Luna Luna this is my dad the sheriff "
" hi "
She said in a small voice and put her hand up said hi without looking at him. She leaned over and then quickly looked around and then went over to the small lamp on the desk that was on and without turning it off she took the bulb out
" what are you doing kid "
He said and she grabbed the base and then it lit up
" ok never mind "
She leaned down and pulled something out she dimmed the light as she looked at the thing she found
" ok so I need a container ... not plastic "
She said like she knew I was looking at the plastic jar so I went to grab the glass one
" ok and I'll be back "
She said as she went to the hole
" she doesn't explain much does she "
I smiled at his comment. It had been at least 2 minutes and I was next to him
" should we umm get help "
" you know I don't know "
I said and we were looking at each other then we heard glass break and our heads snapped to the hole
" sorry about the light "
She looked at the pile of glass and coils
" did you get what you needed what did you need "
I asked and a smile grew on her face
" well the Nidhogg is a dragon serpent so scales and hair and these "
She heals up and hands full of green-black scales and a hair that looked like a whisker
" now I can use these things and some other things to create a potion of sorts that will allow us to see where it is underground when it seems to be moving undetected now we better get to work because from what I saw down there oh thanks "
She said as she put her findings in the container
" because from what I saw it's got a system of tunnels underground and if we don't get it there is a possibility that beacon hills will suddenly be much lower than sea level"
" you mean the town will fall into a hole "
I said just looking at her
" god what happened you used to be much quicker ... sorry "
Her tone was sarcastic after a few seconds the hole closed
" what was that "
My dad said looking at her
" well I guess it's another thing I didn't account for it fills back in next to the woods my good sir for we are going flower picking "
She walked past me and since I wasn't right behind her she said
" coming space cadet "
" Now I'm sure your mom didn't have another kid that we shipped off but she's just like you "
" right "
I said in agreement and then left.

Tripping through the woods I said
" ok Luna what are we looking for that we couldn't get at the store "
" well first we need henbane for the sight then Tanacetum vulgare it's immortality and foxglove attracts magic and life and death see when you mix the correct portions of these things with the scales and hair I collected to add a dash of water boil it some are you ok "
I haven't realised I stopped and was just watching her
" yeah sorry I was just listening "
" ok well I think I can coat glasses in this and it will show us the tunnels before they close "
" shit "
I said as I tripped over a branch
" you ok "
" yeah "
I pulled the foxglove plant out the ground holding it up to her
" just helping "
" ok "
She laughed a little
" hey spiles ... what did I do wrong at practice "
" what "
She looked at me and smiled she was going to say space cadet but fought herself
" nothing you were really good "
" and in the locker room "
" what "
" what did I do wrong in that situation "
" oh please you were right to do that "
She stood up from uncovering something
" ok that should be everything "
We stumbled out of the woods because the sun was starting to go down.
