Chapter 4

Basically, Luna was not going for this year's School camp, and hadn't made any progress in getting the boys attention. After what happened in her mom's room, she concluded that it was impossible to persuade her parents. She was all like,

"Okay mom, dad. It's fine. You don't want me to go right? I won't. I mean, you are my parents, and I'm like a 14 year old teenager. I should listen to you. Bye mom, gotta go back to my room. Hell, I need to get some sleep. Today was a lot" Luna said, leaving.

Mr and Mrs. Jenkins looked briefly at each other in shock.

"She took it so lightly" Mr Jenkins said.

"Yeah, well, I'm glad she understands. Our little daughter is growing up" Mrs Jenkins replied.

Cheers to a pathetic life, without boys, and camp. But was Luna Jenkins okay with that kind of life?

Luna had packed her stuff already, all that was left was for her to go camping with the rest. So, since she saw that her parents wouldn't permit her, she did what every crazy teenager would have done. Luna took the law into her own hands.

It was still night time in Virginia, and right now, everyone, or at least most people were asleep. She stayed awake in her room, plotting, generating the perfect escape plan.

(If I leave now, where do I sleep. If I leave tomorrow morning, there is greater chance of getting caught, coz who knows, Mom might be awake, Shane could be wondering around aimlessly, or even Dad could be watching tv. Hmmm. Come on Luna. Think, visualize) Luna thought.

Luna created scenarios in her mind, visualizing herself leaving at night, and the many creepy things that could happen, and also herself leaving in the morning. After much deliberation, she figured it out.

Luna took a shower, wore something nice, but left out makeup. She was escaping right this moment. Luna got hold of her luggage, took a deep breath, bracing herself for whatever was coming. Her determined mind left out the fact that her parents would freak out when they find out, no, she only worried about this night. Where the hell would she go? What if she gets kidnapped by some street gangsters? Or even worse, she gets killed.

(No no Luna. Relax. Nothing's going to happen. Okay, here's what is going to happen. You'd leave this house now, with that enthusiastic look on your face, go to Hampton High, hopefully, it would be opened. You would get in there, and spend the night there) Luna had come up with a plan, at last.

She got out of the house, unnoticed, and was finally on the streets. It was cold out there, but she didn't mind - she was doing this for camp, she was doing this for herself. It was what she wanted, so she put up with whatever the cold night was throwing at her. She was scared, in fact, terrified, walking on the dangerous streets alone, with no one looking out for her. Her legs sped up in fear, her acceleration leaped as soon as she saw some boys walk towards her. They were dressed like gangsters, so she had this impression of being in danger.

The gangsters had knives, and guns with them - they were freaking armed, and they were grinning, walking towards Luna.

Luna's worse fear came to pass, she was freaking out. She wished the gangsters would just walk past her, and say nothing, but did they?

"Hi beautiful. Why would a pretty girl like you be all alone on the streets this hour" One of the gangsters uttered.

(Great. What an awful night. Not only do these gangsters stop, one of them spoke to me. What should I do? I can't run, scream, or fight back. I'm helpless. I should have listened to mom) Luna thought.

"We talking to you beautiful" A hunky looking, young tough man said. He seemed to be the boss of them.

"She's lost man. Maybe she needs some nice gentlemen to show her the way" one of the gang members sarcastically proposed.

"Or maybe she's a dirty slut, who needs some banging. How about that?" another gangster suggested, flirting, showing off the braces on his teeth.

(I froze as these gangsters invaded my body, their hands creeped on my skin, attempting to tear my clothes apart, but something was stopping them. It was more like, they wanted to play with me, tease me a little bit, before tearing my clothes apart. So they just spent time, feeling my skin through my clothes with their hands. Although they were only 4 dudes, it felt like it was a million unfamiliar hands on me. So, this is what I get for trying to make myself happy) Luna was speechless, thoughts rushed through her head.

The boss, saw how much time they've spent doing useless things. So, he withdrew himself from the other three, and loosed his belt.

(What! They want to....do it here, now?!) Luna screamed in her mind.

Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, a weird rush of wind passed through them. It was weird because, the wind had powerful acceleration, and rushed through them, like something or someone was directing it to them.

"Shit. What the fuck is up with the wind today?" The boss said, putting back his pants on.

Before anyone knew it, a figure, human shaped figure, ran through the gangsters. Whatever it was, it was fast. Twice as fast as the speed of light, so no one could discern what it was exactly.

"Yo what the hell was that" one of the gang members asked, panicking.

"Chill, that was nothing" The boss assured them.

"Screw you man. I felt some shit pass through me now, and you say that was nothing...come on man..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the figure appeared again. This time, faster, fiercer, angrier. The human like figure ran through the four gangsters bodies, slitting their throats in the process, after which disappears into thin air.

All Luna could do was watch. She was too terrified to care who it was that helped her. She was freaking out, she could not calm down. It was too much for her, she had never witnessed a thing like this.

Four dead bodies were right in front of her now, with the mystery figure completely out of sight. She knew how the law works, so she didn't bother to call the police.

Her body quivered in fear, she ran her ass off, attaining a speed she hadn't gotten to ever in her life.

(Okay okay chill. I think I'm like 200 metres away from the scene. I'm safe now. So, I should probably head back home, or....?) Luna thought.

She had gone through a bunch of shit already because of her stubbornness. But, was she willing to let it all slide. She could have been raped just moments ago, or kidnapped, but she somehow got out alive.

(Right here, right now Luna. Make a decision. Let all these be in vain by heading back home, or fulfill your fantasy by heading to Hampton High. What would it be Luna. Think!) Luna was still contemplating.
