Chasity looked at Calix and me for confirmation, a small smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. Calix winked at her. I tweaked her nose. Her little smile widened. She rushed into my arms and I wrapped her up in them, holding her tightly to my chest. I instinctively buried my nose in her fragrant silky curls and inhaled the sweet familiar scent. I kissed her ear and whispered in it.
“I promise to do everything in my power to find your parents, Chasity, but you must promise me three things,” I said.
She pulled away slightly to lock eyes with me, her expression startled.
“What three things?” She asked, unnerved.
“The three promises relate to the three possible outcomes of the investigation of your parents’ disappearance,” I said, holding her shoulders and giving them a squeeze.
She nodded to show she was following.
“One, if we find them alive and well, you must not go running off with them,” I said, holding up my index finger.
“Yeah, she knows, trust me,” muttered Felix. “We spoke about that.”
“It bears repeating,” I said. “If they’re somewhere avoiding their responsibility to you and they’re just peachy then they don’t deserve to reunite with you, Chasity,” I said gently, cupping her face.
She opened her mouth to say something but I spoke again first.
“Even though they wouldn’t deserve a reunion in such a case, I shall still allow it against my better judgement,” I said, my jaw set.
She sighed and cast her eyes downward. I grasped her chin and encouraged her look at me again.
“I would do anything for you, Luna Chasity,” I murmured.
She smiled slightly.
“Two, if they’re found alive but somehow incapacitated, then you must not expect to go live with them when they are brought back to the pack. Visits only. As often as you like but within reason. You’ll be happy to know if this is the case, they will be pardoned on all accounts, debts and negligent abandonment included,” I said.
Chasity nodded eagerly.
“Three, if they’re found…to be no longer with us, you must not attempt to avenge them or investigate their case, Chasity!” I said sternly.
Her eyes were watery and my heart hurt for her but I had to lay out the three main outcomes and what was expected of her in each case. She was a Luna now, marked and mated. Everyone with two brain cells to rub together would see and smell that plainly when we returned to the pack.
“In this case, Felix, Calix and I will investigate further and avenge them, assuming there was foul play,” I promised her earnestly.
She nodded.
“Tell me what you just promised,” I said.
“Um,” she said.
“Alex, c’mon! You said like a million things just now,” said Calix.
“I went home to Winter Moon, took a nap there and came back all while you were talking,” said Felix.
I rolled my eyes.
“I remember,” said Chasity softly.
I smiled.
“Of course you do, my clever Luna,” I purred. “Remind me of your promises. It’s ok if you want me to say them again.”
She shook her head.
“One, if my parents are alive and well, I promise to not go running off with them. Two, if my parents are alive but unwell, I promise to not go live with them but to just visit. Three, if my parents are…not with us, I promise to not try to…investigate or…avenge them…but you all will do that…if necessary,” she said, struggling with the last possible outcome.
She was holding back tears as she pondered on the possibility that her parents were already dead. I kissed her forehead and gathered her up in my arms again.
“On the bright side, Baby, your fantastic memory has Alex hard as stone,” said Felix.
I gave him an indignant look for joking at a time like this but to my surprise Chasity giggled a little.
“It’s turning me on too,” said Calix slyly with a wink. “You’re gonna dazzle them when you start coming to pack meetings with a recall like that.”
Chasity blushed and smiled but there was still so much sadness in her eyes. I nuzzled her to comfort her. I hoped her parents were alive. Chasity deserved a fully-fledged happily ever after.
“And one last promise,” I said.
Chasity huffed.
“This one is simple I swear,” I chuckled.
She eyed me suspiciously.
“Do you promise to enjoy what’s left of our vacation as much as you possibly can?” I asked.
She looked at me, astonished.
“I’ll try my best,” she said as she smiled.
“Ok, now tell us everything you want to do today!” Said Calix, extending his hand to Chasity.
Calix
Chasity wanted to go to the beach. We sailed to the nearest one and docked nearby.
“Tortoise Bay! Isn’t it beautiful, Goddess?!” I exclaimed as Chasity and I walked hand in hand across the white sand, marvelling at the perfectly clean clear waters frothing as the waves crashed against the coast.
“It’s beautiful. The sand and water are so clean! It’s like living in a painting or something,” she said.
I could tell she was trying her best to hide her apprehension about the water still. I looked at our interlaced fingers and gave her small hand a gentle squeeze.
“Wanna build sand castles?” I offered.
“We’re grown, Calix,” grumbled Felix.
“Yeah,” said Chasity sheepishly.
“See, Chasity agrees! We’re too old for…” began Felix.
“Yeah to building sandcastles I mean,” clarified Chasity.
I grinned. Felix scowled. Alex was impassive. The next hour was spent trying to build a castle around Chasity. There were huts further up away from the sand on a grassy knoll selling refreshments and beach items including bathing suits, surf gear, snorkelling gear, floats and most importantly plastic shovels and buckets with some containing sand castle moulds. We had gotten every mould they had and we were currently testing them all out as we added them to Castle Chasity.
“I have an idea!” Said Chasity suddenly.
I knew instantly that she was thinking what I was thinking!
“Sand Castle Building Contest?!” I said eagerly.
She nodded. Felix took a deep patient breath. Alex actually looked excited. He did not like Felix’s “lumpy” buildings and my “crumbly” buildings. Now, he could perfect his technique without hindrance.
“You have…three minutes,” decided Chasity. “To build the best sand castle! On your marks…”
“Wait, what does the winner get?” Asked Felix, a sly smile forming on his face.
Ugh.
“Can’t we just do it to entertain Goddess Chasity? Does there have to be something in it for us?” I said pointedly.
“Calix doesn’t want anything,” said Felix dismissively. “Felix, on the other hand, will take cash, credit or his personal favourite Chasity as payment.”
“I’ll decide the prize when I see the winner’s castle,” insisted Chasity.
“What are we being judged on?” Wondered Alex.
Oh good grief.
“Um, like…” began Chasity, seeming stumped. “Style?”
“What about Structural integrity?” Suggested Alex. “And creativity?”
“I have a suggestion,” I said. “How about Felix and Alex go home back to the yacht and Chasity and I enjoy an uncomplicated beach day.”
Chasity giggled at this and my two elder brothers stopped their questioning.
“On your marks! Get set! Go!” Squealed Chasity, jumping up and down.
She was usually so self-conscious. It was nice to see her so happy and free. We all got to work. I wanted something that resembled a fairytale with a drawbridge and a moat. After digging the moat around the castle, I barely had time at the end to rush to to the water and fill a bucket. I dashed back at werewolf speed and filled the moat. I had wanted to find hermit crabs and place them as guards of the moat. I found three! When, she called time, they began walking away from their posts.
“No more touching your castles!” Chuckled Chasity.
I looked over and noticed Felix had not built a castle. I sighed deeply. It looked like a rocket ship but I could guess what his inspiration had been. It was almost as tall as we were and completely cylindrical except for the rounded off top. Alex rolled his eyes. His castle was good. It looked very sturdy but it was bland, no moat, no hermit crab guards.
“Felix should be disqualified!” Grumbled Alex. “This is not a castle! Where are the towers?!”
“They’re right here!” Said Felix defensively pointing to two semi-spherical mounds at the base of the huge cylinder.
I had not noticed those before. Now, I was convinced that it was not a castle.
“I am the judge,” said Chasity sternly. “I will deliberate.”
Chasity walked along the perimeter of the castles.
“Calix’s is the most creative,” she said, grinning at the hermit crabs who had randomly decided to return to the moat. “It’s suitable for a princess.”
“Like Princess Chasity,” I said with a wink, making Goddess blush.
“Alex’s is the sturdiest! It would be the best for battle. It’s a fortress!” She complimented.
Alex beamed. He had built a wall around his instead of a moat. He had an extra sea wall facing the direction of the waves. Chasity approached Felix’s “castle” with caution. Alex and I stifled our laughter.
“It’s not built to scale,” said Felix apologetically.
Chasity looked at him with an impassive expression.
