Once upon a time long ago, but not that long ago, mind you, a skinny little girl fought her way through the underbrush. Far above her head a strong wind made the tall pines shake their crowns, but down here in the semi darkness there was no wind. She was such a pitiful sight. Small for her age she was, and skinny, as if she had never had enough to eat. Dirty she was, too, and her clothes and her skin were torn here and there by thorns and broken twigs. She was not even sure of her age, but she guessed she was ten or eleven. Long time ago she had stopped crying over the hard hand life had dealt her. There were just no more tears left, and that was the saddest of it all. Three years ago her mother had found out, how her daughter was being abused by her father. She had no great success confronting him with his hideous behaviour. In a fit of rage he killed his wife and took off. Three days later Luna found her way to the police station, and soon she was placed in foster care on a small farm. There was not much care, and not much foster, either, on that farm. Hard work, punishments, and leftovers from the food she had helped prepare for the family, and never a kind word. That was the way it was done in those days, you know. And sometimes in these days, too. A couple of times she tried to run away, but with no success. She was soon found and brought back to the small farm, where she was punished severely. Of course this only made her wish even harder for a get away, but she had learned that she would have to plan well ahead. She would also have to practice some. You see, like most small girls, she was afraid of the dark. But she had figured out that if she were to have better luck next time, she would have to run by night and hide in the daytime. So every night when the farmer and his family had gone to bed, she would sneak out of her small room in the barn and go for longer and longer walks. In the beginning she was so scared that she hardly got more than ten metres away, but gradually she felt her fears disappear, and her walks got longer. When she had made up her mind to try another escape, she prepared herself. She stole pieces of bread from the kitchen and hid it in the barn, and on the night she left, she took a warm coat from the clothesline, wrapped her pieces of bread in a big shawl, and set off as soon as the light went out in the farmer's bedroom. She had decided to go north. Mainly because she had learned about the North Star, so she would always know which way to go. When the eastern sky lit up with the first grey light of dawn, Luna hid in a hay-stack, ate a couple of pieces of her bread, and fell asleep, well shielded from the outside world. It was late afternoon when she woke up to the distant clatter of hoofs and wheels. Voices were there, too. Very carefully she pushed some of the hay aside, so she could peek out of the stack. At the end of the field she could see three people, one horse, and a cart. A young boy was steering the cart, while his parents forked hay onto it. This sight scared the girl, but soon she had figured out that she was safe. They certainly would not get near the stack she was hiding in, before nightfall. Quietly she ate some of her bread, and she also had time to regret that she had not brought a bottle of water. She was very thirsty. As the sun was setting she looked out again. The cart was slowly going down the dirt road towards a small farm. She could see that the dirt road ran along a small brook, and as soon as she had seen the cart disappear into the distant farm, she crawled out of her haystack. Quickly she ran to the edge of the small wood, bordering the hay field. Covered by the trees and bushes she found her way to the small brook. She drank as much as she could, which was not such a good idea. She had barely crossed the brook when she got sick all over, even on her thin dress. When she regained her balance, she went back to the brook, drank a little, pulled off her dress and washed it in the brook, and then drank a little more. The night was a bit cool, and in her wet dress she shivered and had a hard time keeping warm. For a while she ran on a small path, getting warmer. Around midnight the moon was up, and she crossed through the wood out to the open farmland. There was a sleepy little farm just in front of her, but she could hear a dog barking there, so she continued towards north. A couple of hours later she saw another small farm, clearly outlined in the moonlight. Not a sound was coming out of it, and she decided to try it out. Slowly she got nearer the farm, all the time ready to take off towards the trees. Still there was no sound of a dog, so probably they did not have one. The stable was not very big, but when she had opened the door very quietly, she could see the animals in there. A horse, a couple of cows and some pigs. She filled the pockets of her dress with the ground corn, which was meant for the pigs. She had eaten that before, when she was punished by her foster parents. One of her punishments had often been hunger. Beside the box for pig fodder she found a big, empty bottle, which could be used to carry water. When the horse started to make small, nervous movements, she did not dare to stay there any more. She grabbed a dirty blanket, which was hanging on the wall beside the booth, and silently she got out of the door, closed it quietly and set off for the wood. In the early dawn she passed a brook from which she filled her bottle. She also washed her blanket in the brook, to get rid of some of the dirt and the strong smell of horse. Then she gathered a few branches and built a small nest under some bushes, hung the blanket to dry on a low branch, wrapped herself up in the stolen coat and went to sleep. For a couple of weeks this was the way she lived. Her only worries were, where to find food for the next couple of days, and her fear of being caught and brought back to her foster parents. As the days went by she felt more and more secure, and early one evening she had a strike of luck. She had spied a farm in the distance, but as she slowly walked nearer, hidden by trees and bushes, she saw a whole family driving out of the gate. They were dressed up nicely, all five of them, and they reminded her of her foster parents, when they were going to a party with their children. She felt sure that the farm would be deserted for quite some time. As she came closer to the farm she heard a discouraging barking from the yard. She was not really afraid of dogs, but she knew some of them could be dangerous. This time, though, she was lucky. The big dog was chained in the corner of the yard, close to his doghouse. Beside the farmhouse, not quite in the middle of the yard, was a large walnut tree. Luna tricked the dog to run after her, along the farmhouse. Quickly she ran towards the barn, making the dog follow her, so his chain ran round the walnut tree. Four or five quick runs around the tree had the dog tied up in a comfortable distance from all doors. She found the key to the farmhouse in a flowerpot by the door. The kitchen was almost a treasury! Fortunately she knew she could not just fill up a big bag. If the family found out they had been visited by a thief, they would certainly notify the police, and Luna would be in trouble again. One cupboard was their store of jams and marmalades. She pushed a couple of jars aside and reached into the back of the cupboard to take a jar of strawberry marmalade. They certainly would not miss it for quite a few months. From the bottom of a drawer in the bedroom she took a warm blanket, and one of the boys provided her with a pair of solid trousers. Back in the kitchen she was severely tempted by a loaf of bread and some cookies, but she relented. In the stable she filled a small pouch with corn, which was ground for the pigs. She also milked a litre of milk out of one of the cows, drank half of it on the spot and poured the rest into her bottle. She was just getting ready to leave, when she remembered how she had missed a cork for her bottle. She locked up the stables and returned to the kitchen. She could not find a cork, which would fit, but instead she took a small, sharp knife from one of the bottom drawers, so she could cut one herself. They would not miss that either. On her way out she locked the door and replaced the key where she had found it. Just as she was leaving the yard to the sound of barks and howls, she saw how strange it looked with the dog's chain running six times around the tree. Quickly, and not a minute too soon, she ran five times around the tree before she left the yard. When she was halfway to the sheltering forest, she heard rumble of the carriage returning with the family. She hid behind a small bush by the side of the road, and soon she heard the dog welcoming his family from the distance. She decided to put as much distance between her and the farm as possible. All night she walked towards north. In the early morning light she stopped, spread all her belongings out on the ground and rearranged them. For nearly an hour she worked hard, cutting a stick to carry her bundle on her shoulder, and cutting a cork for her bottle. As she came further north her courage grew, and she found many ways to make her life better. She no longer went into the farm buildings every night. Vegetable gardens provided lots of fruit, carrots, potatoes, and whatever she wanted, and her fear of the dark had left her. She was no longer afraid of the strange sounds, and she was too small to understand the dangers that lay ahead. She made some large detours around villages and towns, and the rivers delayed her quite a bit. Some of them she could cross, but others were too wide and too deep, and she had to find a bridge to cross. She would play little games with herself: Would she go right or left to find the nearest bridge. In the dark nights she waited for the hours, when there was no traffic, and then she sneaked across. Without knowing so she had walked far into Canada when she had her first scare. All because she had had a streak of luck. In a clearing in the wood she had come upon an abandoned cottage. Two windows were broken and the door was an open invitation. Beneath a trap door in the kitchen she found a store of tinned food and jars of jam, and a couple of big boxes of biscuits. Luna could hardly believe her good fortune. When she left the cottage she had plenty of food for quite a long time, which prevented her from noticing that farms or houses were farther and farther apart. Actually she was not aware of any changes until one evening when she woke up, freezing like never before. She jumped up and shivered for a while. Then she ran around in the little clearing in the wood, until she felt warmth building in her fragile body. She wrapped herself up in all available clothes and fell asleep again. It was far into the night when she woke up again. The night was bitterly cold and pitch black. For the first time on her journey she did not feel like getting up. While the first soft grey light showed through the tall treetops, she took time to think of what she was doing. The decision to run off had been so easy, and after the first few days it had been so easy just to go on - go on towards north. She had solved a lot of problems on the go, and she had felt more and more safe. This was the first time she felt uncertain. How far had she come? How far would she have to go? She figured that she had walked about 15 kilometres every night, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. She must be at least 1000 kilometres into Canada. That was why there were no more people around her. In the beginning all she wanted had been to get as far away from people as she could. People who would ask questions and people who would return her to her foster parents. Now she started to feel lonely, and she was no longer so sure this was a good idea. This was also the day, which started this story: The tall trees and the wind howling through their crowns. Images of some distant people in the Canadian woods fluttered around in her brain. If only she could find some of them, they might want to let her live with them. She decided to change her pattern. From now on she would walk in the daytime and sleep at night. She still had sufficient food for a couple of weeks, but she hoped to find edibles along the way. The narrow paths were no longer paths trodden by men. They were the tracks trodden by animals. Her nights were bitterly cold, even if she was wrapped up in two blankets and the heavy coat she had stolen from her foster home. A couple of mornings there were even traces of snow on the ground. Gradually she stopped thinking. Like an automat she got up in the morning, she ate a little out of her supplies, and continued towards north. Pretty soon her biggest problem became the cold, shortly followed by food. The first heavy snowfall came on the day when she decided to cut her rations in halves. She knew that she was much too far north to turn back. Her only hope was to find people further north. Finally Luna reached that point of exhaustion and utter freezing, when death in the snow becomes merciful. She stumbled and fell into a snowdrift, and she just gave up. Her skinny little body was frozen, but as she fell asleep she also felt a kind of warmth creep into her. Her last memory before she lost consciousness was of her mother. Part two. The big, dark grey wolf was miserable. A deep wound on her shoulder hurt so much, she could hardly bare it. Her nipples hurt from the milk, which had not been sucked from her for the last three days. And the rest of the pack had avoided her, since the bear had killed her mate and her three cubs. When they settled down this evening and she had tried to join them, three females had snarled and barked at her, to keep her at a distance. She looked round for a snowdrift to dig a lay-in for the night. When she got closer, a strong scent of human hit her nostrils. Slowly she traced the smell to a small snowdrift 20 meters away. For a while she just watched the drift, but gradually her curiosity got the better of her, and carefully she crept closer. There was no movement in the snowdrift, so a little later she was there, digging her paws into the snow. When her paw hit Luna she jumped backwards. The smell of human was very strong, but on the other hand Luna seemed like she was dead. The wolf crept up to her again and poked her snout into the lifeless, skinny girl. Apparently she was not dangerous, and on the other hand she might be edible. She was very close to sinking her teeth into Luna, when she sensed a tiny movement, a flutter of the faintest of heartbeats, calling for her deepest instincts, like her cubs' heartbeats had. This little creature was in trouble, but she was alive. Wolf scraped the snow away from the frozen little human. Instinctively she knew that cold was the trouble, but she would never understand why she lay down beside the frozen girl and pulled her up tight against her own warm belly. During the night she felt the girl make tiny movements against her skin, and when morning broke she looked down into two wide-open, scared eyes. Instinctively she moved over a little and placed one of her nipples in Luna's mouth. The small drop of milk, which had seeped out of the nipple, was enough to revive Luna's terrible hunger. If she had known she was suckling a wolf, she would have been scared to death, but gradually she felt life return to her body, as she slowly emptied nipple by nipple, when Wolf placed them in her mouth. When she had filled herself with the strong warm milk, she cuddled up between Wolf's front legs and clung to her warm fur. Most of the morning she slept there, until Wolf heard her pack breaking up. She pushed Luna with her nose, and when she woke up there was no more fear in Luna's eyes. She knew that if the wolf had wanted to hurt her, she would have done so long ago. Wolf went a few steps away from the snowdrift, turned round and looked at Luna. When Luna did not move she walked a couple of steps further and turned round again. Luna understood that Wolf wanted her to follow. She gathered her few remnants and walked a couple of steps towards the large, black wolf. Immediately Wolf walked further towards her pack, and Luna followed. When Wolf tried to get her into a slow run, Luna followed as far as her body would allow her, but the moment she slowed down to a walk, Wolf did the same. It was way past noon when Luna heard unfamiliar noises. They had reached Wolf's pack. Wolf fell back to walk beside Luna, so close that her fur was touching Luna's legs, and soon Luna had placed her left hand on Wolf's back. As soon as the highly unusual sight passed the top of the hill, hell broke loose in the pack. Howling and barking was the least of it. Two male wolves ran towards them and took up defensive position only a few metres from them, baring their teeth and growling fiercely. Wolf was like transformed. She jumped in front of Luna to protect her, and then she made a couple of fake attacks against the two males. Luna was paralysed at the sight. It never came to a real fight, but the fierceness of Wolf's attack scared the males sufficiently. They knew by experience how their females would protect their cubs against any danger. And it scared Luna. Could this wild animal really be the same who had saved her and fed her? Probably Wolf would have been accepted back into her pack, had she not had Luna. Now it lasted a few days before she was allowed to have her share of the spoils, and it did not even last a week before Luna was allowed into the circle, too. From the day when she first played with a couple of the cubs, she was accepted. The only difference was, that Luna could not make herself eat raw meat out of a felled deer. Fortunately Wolf still had plenty of milk, a long time after the other cubs had stopped feeding. But far into the winter there was plenty for Luna. Part three. Luna's life took a new turn late in December. Wolf woke her up early in the morning. As soon as she had fed her, Wolf went round and collected Luna's few belongings and put them in front of her. It was quite evident that she wanted Luna to pack up. As soon as she had done that, Wolf pushed her with her big head, pushed her away from the pack, pushed her through the snow. Soon they were quite a distance from the pack, but Wolf continued pushing her. A few times Wolf stopped and sniffed the air carefully, only to continue immediately after. They walked almost all day. Not that the days in December are very long up north, but the low sun was setting when Wolf finally stopped in front of a small ridge. A little later she came up close to Luna and snuggled her head against her small frame, as if she was saying goodbye. Then she pushed Luna to the top of the ridge. Down below she could see a few tents, a couple of sledges and two packs of dogs, tied to the trees. Luna embraced Wolf and kissed her head, and then she started running down the hill. Long before she reached the small camp the chained dogs spotted her, causing as much noise as Luna had hardly ever heard. One of the tents was opened and a man came out to see what was wrong. Truly it was a strange sight out here in the wilderness: A little girl with a small bundle on her shoulder, running full speed downhill towards the camp, and a big wolf silhouetted against the pink sky. A cloud of warm, humid air rose from the opening, as the man held back the covering piece of skin, indicating to Luna that she was welcome inside. Her eyes took a minute to adjust to the relative darkness inside the tent. At first she could see only the fire in the middle, but gradually she spotted five Inuits around it, plus the man who had invited her in. The warmth and the kind faces around the fire, looking curiously at her, were just too much for Luna. Slowly she sank to the ground and started crying. One of the women got up from her pile of furs and squatted in front of Luna. She reached out a hand and stroked her cheek. "Where on earth do you come from, little girl? Have you had a hard time?" She reached out and put an arm round Luna's skinny shoulders and pulled her closer. With a couple of deep sobs Luna cuddled up to her and let her tears run freely. Later the woman helped her up from the ground and led her to the pile of skins, taking Luna into her lap, cradling her small body in her arms. All the while Luna hardly registered that the people around her were talking in muted voices, in a language she did not understand. Finally she ran out of tears. She remained in the woman's lap, enjoying the warm softness surrounding her. When she opened her eyes, she looked into the kindest, dark eyes she had ever seen. Not that she had seen that many kind eyes. "Welcome, little girl. Are you ready now, to tell us how you got here? You must be a very long way from home, and you smell very strongly of wolf, and a lot of other things, I may say." "I am Luna, and the smell is because Wolf saved me, when I was dying in the snow. She pulled me up to her belly and she fed me her milk. Wolf saved me." "Oohhh. That is a very good story." The woman raised her head and translated what Luna had said. "You'll have to tell that many times this winter, and I'll have to translate what you say. You see, not all of us speak English. But you're not Canadian, are you?" "No. I lived on a farm with my foster parents, but they hit me so much, and they didn't want me, really, so I ran away. I think it was 300 kilometres south of the border." When the woman had translated, she said: "I'm Juliane. Have you walked all the way up here?" "Yes. I followed the North Star. In the beginning I walked by night. I was so afraid to be caught by the police and brought back to my foster parents." When Juliane had translated this, she suddenly turned to the other woman in the tent and said a lot of words in the language Luna did not understand. Then she turned to Luna. "If you have lived with the wolves for so long, we have better get you scrubbed down and put into some clean clothes." She got up from the furs and pulled Luna up, too, by her hand. "Take off all your clothes, dear, and throw them out into the snow. Aina and I will wash you, love." A big copper kettle with hot water stood with one side partly into the fire. One of the men went outside and filled another kettle with snow and ice, and put it in the fire to melt the snow. Juliane and Aina made a lot of fun, while they washed Luna. They hugged her, they tickled her, they told little jokes, so when Luna finally glowed like a pink, scrubbed pig, she was laughing along, for the first time for as long as she remembered. Later, when Luna was dressed again, this time in clothes, which were abundantly big, but at least warm, and comfortable, they fed her a big plate of hot stew. Through all this Luna had not noticed, how people from the other tents had paid small visits to watch the newcomer to their camp. When she had eaten her stew, Luna felt terribly tired and sleepy. Juliane helped her down on the skins and showed her how to cover up. "I'll come and sleep beside you, when we have finished cleaning up." "Thank you. Thank you for everything," Luna whispered. "You will not send me back to the police, will you?" "No, of course not, dear. You can stay with us for as long as you wish." She kissed Luna on her cheeks and her nose, and tucked her in. Like music, the sounds in the tent lulled her to sleep: The crackling of the fire, and the deep melodious sounds of the language she didn't understand. She did not feel it, when Juliane lay down beside her. Later in the night she faintly registered that Juliane was making love with one of the men. The first morning in the tent was a big confusion for Luna. Juliane and Aina were trying to make some breakfast, while all the others carried out most of the things from the tent, to put them on the sledges outside. It was not until then that Luna noticed, there were no children in the camp. When she asked Aina why, she just said: "I'll tell you while we're driving." Finally the whole camp was packed upon the two sledges. The three tents with their long poles and the skins formed the top of the load, and the strong and eager dogs pulled off. In the beginning everybody was walking or running beside the sledges, but when they reached a large open and flat landscape, one of the men lifted Luna up to sit on top of the first sledge, and a little later Aina joined her. "All our children are at home. We have been in the woods, trapping for foxes in their white winter fur, and now we are on our way home. We'll be there tomorrow." "Oh, then I've been very lucky that Wolf found you." "You can say that again, Luna. I don't think you'd have come our way with your wolves. We live on the coast, and we only come to the woods when the foxes get their winter fur. The second night they did not put up the tents. When the last grey light dwindled, they stopped at a very old house, partly dug into the ground, with only an earth covered roof above the ground. "This house was built by our great-grandfathers. We always stop here when we go hunting in the woods. It's much easier than making camp." Aina told Luna about the house, while the other Inuits moved the necessities from the sledges inside. When Luna finally got into the house she saw it was one rather long room. A big fire was already burning in the middle of the room. By the light of the fire she could see one long, wide shelf along one side of the room. Juliane waved a hand to Luna, calling her closer to the fire. "Do you want to help a little, or do you just want to rest on the `kang'." "I'd like very much to help," she answered. "What can I do?" Juliane pointed at two big leather bags hanging from the ceiling. "You can make sure we have water for cooking and for coffee. She handed Luna a small bag and a little shovel. Fill up the bags with snow, and keep an eye on them. As soon as the snow has melted, you fill them up again. A whole lot of snow only makes a little water, you know. We melt it in the big leather bags, and then we cook it in the copper pots you see there, by the fire." Luna felt great pride that she had been given a task, which made her feel part of the group. Pretty soon the house was very warm, and people shed most of their clothes. Once again they had a nice hot stew for supper. Juliane told her about the foxhunting. "We don't eat the foxes. We hunt them for the white fur. We get a good price for the furs when we sell them to the white people, so we can buy coffee, sugar and flour. But mostly we eat what we catch from the sea." At last everybody was fed and the utensils were cleaned. Luna was sitting close to Juliane, when she noticed how all the chattering had stopped. "Now it is your turn, Luna. We want to hear your story." "Where do I start?" "With the beginning, dear." "When I ran away from my foster parents?" "How about your real parents? You know, we just love long, long stories, and we all want to get to know you." Luna had almost forgotten what happened in the beginning, but slowly she got her tale going, and she and Juliane found a comfortable rhythm for Juliane's translations. When she came to the point of her father's abuse, she was scared by the angry cries around her. She clung to Juliane until the anger had died down. "Don't be afraid, little one. They are not angry with you. What your father did is the worst crime by us, and some of the men would have killed him if it had happened here." Other outbursts of anger followed, when she told how he had killed her mother and run off. Luna certainly could not complain about lack of interest in her audience. Time and time again she was interrupted by questions, when she made short cuts in her tale. After a couple of hours she was very tired and wanted to go to sleep. By then she had only finished telling about her first escape and capture. She lay down on the shelf, snuggled up to Juliane, and while she drifted off into a dreamless sleep, she felt people passing by, giving her friendly pats on her head or little caresses on her cheek. It was still dark when they took off the next morning. The landscape was absolutely fine for the sledges, and most of the time the Inuits were running beside them. Now and then three or four of them would jump on or off the sledges to take a rest, while Luna would only run when she needed to get warm. In the afternoon Juliane explained to her, how they were now driving on the frozen sea. Finally they turned a small peninsula, and Luna caught the first glimpse of the small settlement, which was going to be her home for the rest of her life. Part two. The first couple of weeks everything was very confusing. Nothing at all resembled the life she had led up till now. Juliane invited her to stay at her place, together with her husband and two children. There were so many things to learn, and a new language, which was very, very different. Fortunately children learn languages much better than grown ups, and Luna was a very bright child. Only 3 months later she could talk to everybody. She stayed with Aina for some time, and later on other people from the village invited her to stay for a while, but her new home was Juliane and Theo's house. Her first big surprise came when she had only stayed with Juliane for 10 days. A sealer had brought in two seals, and Juliane had asked Luna to go down to the landing place and fetch their share of the catch. Almost the whole settlement was there, especially the children. They played and ran about, and the other children taught Luna to eat matak, the layer of fat right under the skin. Luna had completely forgotten why she was down there, and not until she entered the house and saw Juliane, did she remember. Immediately she knew she had done wrong, and in anticipation of a punishment she covered her head with her arms. Nothing happened. When she finally ventured to open her eyes, she saw Juliane kneeling in front of her. "I'm so sorry. I forgot. We were playing." Juliane gently grabbed her arms and pulled them down from her head. "Dear Luna. We do not punish children. We do not hit children. You know you've done something wrong, don't you?" "Yes. I'm so sorry. We had so much fun that I forgot." "Then I do not need to punish you, do I? You know it without punishment. Now hurry up. Run down to the landing place and see if there are still people there, and then ask for our share." Another big surprise was the houses. Juliane's house was one of the old ones. Like the big house they had slept in on the way back, it was dug halfway into the ground; only it was a lot smaller. A single small window made it possible to get your bearings and to see how the house was laid out. There was a very small kitchen with an open fireplace to the right of the door; the rest of the house was one room with a long bench along one wall. The long bench was covered with plenty of fur, and served as a bed for the whole family. A narrow door beside the kitchen led to a small storeroom, which served as a freezer most of the year. The settlement boasted a few modern wooden houses, built in the places where bare rock stuck out of the ground. They, too, were much smaller than anything Luna had ever seen. "It's much easier to keep warm in a small house," Aina explained. "A little cooking in the kitchen, and then a few lamps where we burn the fat from seals or whales, will keep us warm. Sometimes we light a kerosene lamp, when we have money for the kerosene." The second biggest surprise was life on the `kang' - the long sleeping bench along the wall. Children and grown ups slept there, alongside each other, and the first time Juliane and her husband Theo made love, Luna did not know how to react. Big scars were still in her soul because of her father's abuse. She looked at Juliane's children, Maria and Aron. They did not take any notice of their parents, although it was hard not to notice. Maria turned towards Luna and whispered: "They do it all the time. I think it's nice they like each other so much." In February they had to face a problem. The children of the settlement went away for two months to a boarding school run by the Canadian government. There was no way Luna could pass for an Inuit, so it would be much too risky to send her along. It was decided that Maria and Aron would get hold of an extra set of books, so they could `play school' with Luna when they returned. The settlement boasted an old community house, which was used for different celebrations. Tons of coffee and cakes were consumed, songs were sung and stories told. It was a tremendous victory for Luna when for the first time she told her continued story in Inuit. Of course Juliane and Aina had to help her with some difficult words, but Luna told by far most of the stories. A couple of years passed. Luna grew, she filled out here and there, and her soul healed in the most wondrous way. The summer when she was 12, new emotions overwhelmed her. When Juliane and Theo made love she felt the strangest tingling emotions run through her body. She told Maria about it, but she just laughed. "I like it too," Maria told. "Sometimes I play with myself when they do it. Do you want to try next time they make love? I'll show you." A couple of nights later they were at it again. The tingling sensations in Luna's belly and her pussy had just begun, when she felt Maria move closer and get under her covers. Her attention turned from her parents to the slender hand moving under her bedclothes. When Maria reached down into her panties and stopped for a moment with her fingers covering Luna's pussy, she could have screamed for her to go on. Never had she felt anything so wonderful. "Touch me," Maria whispered. She took hold of Luna's hand and pushed it down between her legs. Maria was naked under her nightgown, and soon Luna felt her fingers come to rest on Maria's naked, hairless pussy. At the same time Maria's fingers began their delicious slow play on Luna's pussy. Luna almost fainted from the excitement. Tingling currents of lust raced through her body as Maria finally focused on her clit, and she felt how her pussy swelled and gushed juice on Maria's fingers. "Do the same to me, Luna. I love it." Luna could barely concentrate. Her whole mind was occupied between her own thighs. Half-heartedly she moved her fingers, trying to copy what Maria did to her. She found the little nub between the wet folds, and she loved it when Maria let out a deep sigh and began breathing as hard as she did herself. Suddenly her head started spinning. The hot jolts from her own clit spread all over her body, and she could not help it, she had to move her narrow hips to rub her pussy harder into Maria's hand. A burning, flaming, tingling cramp spread from her pussy to the farthest corner of her body, and involuntarily she let out a little scream of joy. She heard a muffled laughter from her parents as she was coming down, but she paid no notice to it. Maria's wet and lovely pussy demanded her immediate attention. "That was so wonderful," she whispered into Maria's ear. "Now I'll do the same to you. Help me to do it right." For the next few minutes two little hands were collaborating on Maria's naked pussy, Maria guiding Luna with small touches to her fingers. When Maria's breathing had taken on the same raw rhythm as Luna's had done a little earlier, Luna knew what was coming up. She leaned over and pressed her lips to Maria's, while she brought her over the hill. The new excitement had worn out Luna. She fell asleep with her head on Maria's shoulder and her left hand resting peacefully on her pussy. The next morning Juliane caressing her hair awakened Luna. Still half asleep she opened her eyes and looked into Juliane's smiling eyes. "You two had a nice time last night, didn't you?" Luna mumbled something incomprehensible as an answer, but when she understood the true meaning of Juliane's question, she blushed heavily and closed her eyes. "Never fear, sweetheart. It's all right. I think you and I shall have a talk later today, because we are so much different from the people you have lived with. I think it is lovely that you and Maria could have such a good time." Juliane bent down and kissed Luna's eyes, and then she said out loud: "Well, folks, lets get up and get some breakfast. Aron! Maria! Wake up!" Later in the day Juliane took Luna for a walk on the cliffs bordering the small settlement. They spent the whole afternoon up there, Juliane explaining and Luna asking questions. Many questions. This whole attitude to sex was so utterly different from anything Luna had learned in her former life. Juliane asked Luna not to leave Aron out, when some day he showed interest in what she and Maria were doing. Apart from that they were free to do what they wanted. The only warning Juliane issued was for the day when Luna or Maria started their periods. "We'll have to have another talk when that time comes." Luna found Maria by the landing place. "Did she take you for the big talk", Maria asked. "Yes. I was very embarrassed in the beginning, but she was so nice to me. Did you know it was all right for us to do it?" "Of course. It is all right as long as we don't make any of us sorry. I've also played with Aron a few times. He is only 11, but he has such a nice little stiffie. It gets very hard and I love to suck it. You should try." "Oh, my God," Luna gasped. "I can hardly wait. Can we do it tonight?" Maria laughed. "Sure. We can do it right now, if you want. It is nice and warm today. Shall we go and find Aron? There is a lovely piece of soft grass right up there, behind the dark rock. Go up there and wait, and I'll bring Aron." "Do you think he'll want to play?" "You just wait and see," Maria laughed. Luna was tingling all over as she climbed the rocks. It was all so new to her, and all the currents running through her body and her pussy felt ten times stronger than they ever would later in life. Maria had been right, there was a lovely patch of soft grass behind the dark rock, and it was sheltered from the cold winds. Luna lay down and closed her eyes. Images and sounds of Juliane and Theo making love intermingled with feelings and sensations of Maria's fingers playing with her pussy. Long before Maria and Aron got to her, Luna's little panties were soaked, and she had the greatest trouble keeping her hands off her pussy. She heard their feet on the rock. She sat up and stared at the cleft where she had entered the grass. Soon Aron turned up first, followed by Maria. "Hi, Luna. Maria says you want to play with us, is that right?" "Oh, yes I do. I didn't know you two played sometimes." "We do. Sometimes when we are in bed, and sometimes up here. Maria likes to play with my willie. And I like it, too." "What do you do, when you are up here?" "Well, first we take off our skin trousers, and sometimes wee take off our underwear, too." Maria went up to Aron and put her left arm round his small shoulders. "Do you want me to undress you, so you can look at Luna while she takes of her trousers?" Aron turned his head and kissed her. "Oh, yes, sister. Can I really see Luna's pussy?" "If you are a good boy, Aron, you can see it and you can play with it too." She started undoing his trousers. "Are you a good boy, Aron?" "Oh, yes. I'm good, and my willie is very hard." Luna could hardly believe her own eyes as Maria undressed Aron. For a short while she just looked on with incredulous eyes, until she began to fumble with her own trousers. Finally she got them off, just at the time little Aron was all naked. "Get those wet underpants off, too," Maria said. "I promised him that he could see your pussy." While Luna wriggled out of her panties Maria reached round Aron and played with his willie. "Wow. She's got a pretty pussy, Maria. Ooh, it tingles so good when you touch my willie." Luna stretched out on the grass with her legs slightly spread. The sight of Maria's hand on Arons little cock was unbelievable. She was electric all over. "Come on, Aron," Maria said, "let's touch it, and if you are a good boy you can kiss it, too." Aron slipped out of Maria's grip and lay down on the grass beside Luna. His little hand had hardly touched Luna's belly before Maria had rid herself of trousers and underwear and laid down on the other side of Luna. "Touch her pussy like I showed you to do to mine," Maria said softly. Luna thought she was going to faint when she felt the small fingers slip down to her pussy, then play a little with her lips and finally find her wet clit, as if he was an experienced lover. Strong jolts of the strongest feelings cursed through her body. Much stronger than when she did it herself, even stronger than when Maria did it. She closed her eyes to concentrate on the wonderful feelings, and she could not help but hump her wet pussy up against Aron's hand. She lost all control when Maria leaned in to kiss her, and then grabbed Luna's free hand and moved it down, so she could rub her pussy against it. When Luna felt Maria's juices flow into her hand, she lost it. Aron's fingers pushed her over the edge, and with a high-pitched scream she gave in to the orgasm. Nothing that wonderful had ever happened to her. She was shaking uncontrollably when she heard Maria whisper to Aron:"Stop now, Aron. Just wait a little. Her clit is very sensitive right now." When Luna's excitement slowly diminished she opened her eyes. She looked straight into Maria's beautiful dark eyes. They were so kind and veiled by passion, as Maria still rocked her dripping pussy against Luna's hand. "Do you want to see when I suck Aron's willie? Luna smiled and nodded her head, which made Maria roll over the two bodies, so she was on the other side of Aron. "How about it, little brother, do you want me to teach Luna how to suck your willie?" "Oh, yes. Do you think she'll do it?" "I guess so." Luna could hardly believe her own eyes when she saw Maria lean over and swallow Aron's little stiffie. His whimpers showed his excitement, and when Maria demonstrated how to pull back his foreskin and cover his little cockhead with her lips, he groaned with lust. Maria slipped her lips off the little cock and pointed it towards Luna. "Do you want to try?" "I thought you'd never ask," she laughed. But she did not laugh when for the first time she felt the hard and yet soft prick between her lips. She thought it would feel as if she was sucking one of her fingers, but instead strong, fluttering currents of excitement ran through her body. When she felt Maria reach over Aron's legs to get her hand on Luna's pussy, she went all crazy. She sucked and licked the small, hard cock; she pressed her lips all the way down to his hairless body; instinctively she moved her head up and down on it, while her hips automatically humped her pussy against Maria's hand. Suddenly Aron let out a cute meowing while his body trembled through a wonderful orgasm. He was much too young to have any sperm to expel, but his feelings were just as strong. Maria gently pushed Luna's head away from the small cock, and then she said gently to Aron:"Do you want to kiss Luna's pussy? Then she can kiss mine." "Oh, yes, can I do that, please?" Red and yellow spots were dancing on the inside of Luna's eyelids, when she felt the boy's mouth on her pussy. Jolts of lust cursed through her body, as the small, pointed tongue teased her pussy, and she hardly noticed that Maria had straddled her chest and lowered her pussy close to Luna's mouth. The intoxicating smell of pussy made her open her eyes, and quickly she raised her head a little to reach the open lips with her mouth. Only a few seconds apart the two girls were raked by the cramps of orgasm. For the rest of that glorious summer the kids spent many an afternoon on the small spot of soft grass, a few times joined by their neighbour's 12-year-old son. When Luna was 14 her periods started, and Juliane took her for another walk among the rocks to explain about the birds and the bees and girls and the boys. Luna managed to stay out of trouble until she was 16, when she fell madly in love with a promising young hunter called Jacob. He was 19 years old, and they were both considered excellent marriage material, so that summer they were married and moved into the small wooden house that Jacob had inherited from his great parents. Often, when they had made wonderful love in their little house, Luna would go out on their small porch to look up in the sky and send a short `thank you' to the Northern Star.
