TON (5)

Over the tree passes of the moon, the two groups became even more estranged than ever before. The two spirits of the Sun and Moon continued to war, causing chaos almost everywhere. Right down to the six girls. But as the winter gave way to the spring, things seemed to lean to one side. Kate and Stella would often find themselves gazing off to the Sun supporters, basking in the noon while they hid by their tree. The thing was that for a moment, they seemed happy! A lost world, that perhaps they were a part of. But it lasted only a minute. And the rest of the time, they faithfully stood by the Moon, and with Ruby there, they stood where they did. Watching the Sun supporters. After all, it was not like anything could ever remotely be the same ever again.

And so, three passes of the moon later, the Supporters of SUn lay where they would. The same old place, once a place of gathering, now only for them. They lay in a formation letting the sun fall on them. 
"Horrible." Kate scowled. She looked beside her, but only Stella was there.
Stella pointed to the banding place of the Sun, where out in the open, was Ruby. She, looking quite traitorous, had walked up to the enemy. The other half of the old SSB had long been just - 'the enemy'. 
"Look," breathed Kate in horror. Ruby sat in the middle of the circle - lay down -  and began the gesture of the Sun. Ruby was worshipping the Sun.
