I was listening to this girl tell me about herself. I wasn't paying attention. My mind kept telling me to find Stephen before anything bad happens to him.
Miserable hours later, I was walking in the direction we came here when a car sped passed me. Leaving me covered in mud. I glared at the car and speed-walked home. It was still a long way to go when I saw one of the men who were talking to Maxwell last night.
"Hey!" he stopped and turned to me. I ran towards him and he smiled when he saw who it was.
"Hello princess. Do you want a ride?"
"No thanks. I'm looking for Stephen?" he smiled and looked at the other men behind him. He called one who smiled and bowed his head when he saw me.
"She is here for you?"
"Me? How can I help you, Luna?"
"I'm looking for Stephen?"
"Who is Stephen?"
"The guy I was with last night," the first guy nodded his head in realization. He sighed and ran his hand through his neat hair, messing it up. The normal me would have swooned at how his muscles flexed.
"Why?"
"He's gone missing. I know you know where he is. Take me to him."
"Sorry I can't do that."
"Tell me where he is?"
"Sheesh sheesh fine. You gonna burst my tympanic membrane," he said and I rolled my eyes.
"Do you wanna walk or do want me to drive you?"
"Let's walk," he nodded and started walking in the direction I was heading in earlier.
We stopped in front of the building and he looked at me before opening it. It smelt awful, it smelt like blood and rusted metals. He walked in before me and I followed him. I saw some men staring at me with angry eyes. What the hell did I do?
He stopped in front of a smaller cell. I looked in and made contact with Stephen. He smiled even though it didn't reach his eyes. He walked closer to the metal and touched my fingers that were placed on the rod. He was about to kiss them when the guy who walked me here pushed him back.
"Why would you do that!?"
"He is not allowed to touch you. Or kiss you," I looked at him in shock then at Stephen. I sighed and nodded my head before removing my fingers. I turned around and walked home.
I was in my room as it darkened outside. Everyone was home, Dolly had brought my lunch in here but I didn't have an appetite. Mom came to keep me company but I was not in the mood.
I walked into my closet and put on my black jeans with my black hoodie then my converse. I went to the kitchen and took a lunchbox. After filling the lunchbox with food from earlier, I sneaked out of the house. I got to the cells and found two men standing in front.
With a plan in my head, I walked to them and stopped a few meters away from them.
"Luna?" one said with a voice full of despise. I stared at them.
"I want to get in," they looked at each other and then laughed before opening the doors. Well... That was easy. I didn't even have to lie. I walked toward Stephen's cell and some men howled at me. I ignored them. I was almost there when a man pulled me closer to him, hitting my back against the cells. I groaned as the pain went through my entire body like a whiplash.
I struggled against him and I managed to get free but he pulled on my hair, I let out a scream and heard a howl next to the cell before the man's hand got yanked from me. He went back deeper into the cell while growling in pain.
"Are you okay?" Stephen's worried voice came up as he held my hands and pulled me closer to him. The only thing between us was the steel.
"I brought you proper food," I handed him the lunch box and he smiled taking it from me. He opened it and chuckled, gobbling it all up. He was done within a few seconds.
"Thank you, future wife," I laughed and looked at him. I got closer to the cell, I puckered my lips and he got the message. He brought his face towards mine and pecked me. He was about to pull away when I reached my hands and pulled him closer to me. He moaned as I deepened the kiss. I heard some growls around us but we ignored them. His hand went under my hoodie as he groped my boob. I felt like I needed to breathe so I pulled away and looked into his eyes. He smiled at me, and I sighed happily. Every time I am with him my worries disappear and I have these tingles all over.
"Luna?" I heard a voice say behind me. I slowly turned around and found an older man, not really that old but he had grey hair with old-looking eyes.
"Hi?"
"You are the only one who can save us all," he said and the man next to Stephen laughed loudly at that.
"She is a human Bryan. How is she supposed to save us from our kind?" he laughed again.
"She is the chosen one. That's why you pulled her to inhale her hair," Bryan defended and I looked at the guy next to Stephen as he looked down in shame.
"Luna! Luna! Luna!" a man next to Bryan started chanting and soon enough. The entire cell was chanting 'Luna' even though my name is Alexa. Luna is my mom. I turned to Stephen who was looking at me with amused eyes.
"My name is Alexa. Luna is my... Mother," I told him and he chuckled holding my hand and bringing my palm closer to his lips. He pecked my palm and then smiled widely at me.
"You will understand soon," I nodded and laid my head on the floor and he did the same, within a few seconds, I was out.
