The Moon and The Ocean novel Chapter 15

Winter break was over. Everyone was back to school. Moon and Ocean were restricted to come back home after school and not to visit the lake without the guards Zeus had sent for both of them. Zeus knew Ocean was Moon's only weakness. And anyone can use her to hurt Moon or use his special powers. That's why he had arranged a special team that is always around Jack's Villa and also followed Ocean wherever she went. Moon was also ordered to learn fighting techniques by his father. Derek was teaching him fighting techniques. Derek was a well trained wolf and Zeus could only trust Derek to train Moon as his friend Xander wasn't around. Moon never liked the idea of people following him and Ocean all the time but he was worried about Ocean. He couldn't bear if anything would happen to his Ocean. They visit the lake every day for 2 hours only and every time they were told to change their time to visit the lake. Zeus had visited home as well but only to recheck everything as he couldn't trust anyone blindly when it comes to Moon, Ocean and Zeus' family.

Ocean was sitting on the ground, a few feets away from the lake, and Moon went to swim in the lake. The guards were around but out of sight. Ocean was humming a song and looking at the beautiful lake in front of her. She felt someone's eyes on her. She looked around and found nobody. But this time she didn't brush it off because she knew last time, she was right. She stood up and looked around again.

Ocean: Hello, is anybody there?

Ocean asked and one of the guards heard her loud and clear. He quickly ran towards the lake. He came close to Ocean and sniffed the air.

Matt: Have you heard anything kid?

Matt, the guard asked Ocean while sniffing the air.

Ocean: I don't know, I felt like someone was watching me.

Matt: Maybe you're just feeling it?

Moon: No Matt, she's never wrong about these things.

Matt: Then we better get back home. I don't want anything to happen to any of you kids.

Moon nodded his head and quickly wore his clothes. He scooped Ocean in his arms protectively. Ocean quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. They started walking towards Jack's Villa. They first dropped Ocean then they went back home.

Ocean stepped into the house and found her Uncle Jack sitting in the living room alone. His face showed that he was worried about something. Ocean went to him, sat beside him and asked him.

Ocean: Are you okay uncle Jack?

Jack looked at his niece and forced a smile on his tired face.

Jack: Yes sweetheart, I'm fine.

Ocean: You don't look fine uncle, I'm worried about you.

Jack chuckled and patted her head lovingly.

Jack: Just work stress dear, nothing serious.

Ocean: I have noticed that you don't care for your health anymore. You are working all the time, always worried about something and you're having headaches very often. I'm not happy with all that.

Ocean said with a pout on her cute face. Jack chuckled and mentally awed seeing her care towards him.

Jack: It's okay dear. I'll be fine. I just need to finish this.

Ocean stood up and shut Jack's laptop.

Ocean: No, you are coming with me to your room and you are sleeping right now.

Jack: Baby I need to finish this please.

Ocean: No, I am not hearing a single word. Come on.

She grabbed Jack's hand and pulled him out of the living room. He gave up and didn't argue with her anymore. She pulled him into his room, made him lay down on his bed and started massaging his head. Her fingers started moving in circular motion and Jack closed his eyes, enjoying the massage. Soon, Jack was fully relaxed. It wasn't long when he was fast asleep. Ocean giggled when she heard her uncle snoring loudly. She stood up and went back to the living room. She opened his laptop, lucky, it wasn't locked. She quickly read all the papers and previous work Jack had completed. Ocean was a very smart girl. Her father had shown her and taught her so many things about handling important business works and sometimes, meetings as well. It took her 2 hours to complete Jack's presentation for his important business meeting. Once done, she rechecked her work, shut the laptop, ate her dinner and went to her room. She quickly showered and changed into her silky nighty. She crawled into her soft bed and closed her eyes. "Good night my Moon." She thought with a cute smile on her face. Soon, she fell asleep.

Moon went back to his mansion but froze at the door. He signalled Matt that he smelled strangers inside his house. Matt quickly ran to the door, opened it and sniffed around. Moon was right, some strangers were in the mansion. Matt instructed Moon to stay outside and he followed the stranger's scent he was sniffing. Moon stood by the door but he felt something was really wrong. Like his sixth sense telling him to follow Matt behind. And he did. Without making noise, Moon followed Matt. As he reached closer to the drawing room he heard his parents arguing with some strangers.
