Gotcha!

"Glad you're safe, Luna", Roman said as he lock his arms by Diana's waist. Diana gasped at his warm touch.

"Get your filthy hands off of her! She's our Luna!", Damon said as the veins on his arms and neck become prominent.

"How could you be this stupid? You're chilling here while there's a monster on the loose? Didn't your friends told you to take the Luna to safety??", Roman maddeningly shouted as he scoffed at Damon.

He turned to Diana and checked her trembling body. "Are you alright Luna? You're so cold… he didn't even warmed you up.", Roman soothe Diana's shoulders wondering why is she even cold.

"I'm fine, sir. Please keep your hands to yourself, I would appreciate it", Diana forced a smile and put Roman's hands away.

Roman was dumbstruck realizing Diana is not just cold outside, but she's icy on the inside, making him gain more interests on his unusual Luna. He stared at her sapphire eyes. Not only they were mesmerizing, but her eyes give a certain kind of glow that warms his heart.

"Please call me Roman.. or honey, or sweetheart. Call me anything you want, my Luna", he said with a wink. Diana smiled awkwardly as she walk away from the flirty wolf.

"Come on Luna, let's get out of here", Damon said as he give out his hand to Diana. Picking up the silver dagger and securing it in her thigh, she held on to Damon as they walk out.

Flashes of lightning throw light on their path. They slowly departed as they hear a deafening howl that started to echo in the air, followed by petrifying growls that seemed to come near.

"Luna.. stay close", Damon said. Diana tightly squeezed Damon's hands, and turned her head to Roman who was just behind her. Somehow, she felt safe beside the two wolves she just met since she doesn't have much choice at the moment. She swallowed a lump, deeply hoping it was Scott's hand she's holding at the scariest time of her life.

Roman couldn't help but get pissed off seeing Damon hold his Luna's hand. 'That should be me', he thought.

"You're not really going out aren't you?", Roman irritatingly asked.

"I'd rather take my chances running out here, than get trapped in the cave with a lycan and become a midnight snack. I can run fast around until that beast change back to his harmless form", Damon said.

'The pup got a point', he thought. Dangerous, but might be effective. After all, he's a fast one.

Preparing to run, Damon and Diana slowly stepped furthee, followed by Roman. Diana stopped and stiffened as she heard a creature snarling so close. They turned around and looked up, only to see the lycan hanging by the rocks staring straightly at them.

Diana shouted at the top of her lungs at the sight of the beast. Damon pushed her away and shapeshifted to counterattack the lycan who's about to lunge down. In a blink of an eye, Roman shapeshifted and knocked his head on the lycan's torso before it could land on Damon.

"Take the Luna!", Roman mind talked Damon as he pounce on the lycan biting its neck.

Damon hurriedly ran up to Diana as she ride on his back. Running across the tall grasses and flowing riverwaters, Damon didn't looked back to secure the Luna.

Not too long, a large shadow followed them at the same pace. Diana turned her head left and right, having a hard time to catch a glimpse of the creature who's following their trail.

All of a sudden, the lycan caught up to Damon and was kicked on the side as they both took wing. Diana tightly closed her eyes as she drift away from Damon. She felt something hit her leg making her groan in pain. Luckily, Roman was able to catch her as she landed on his hard chest.

"Gotcha!", he sighed in relief embracing her, as they slide a few meters on the ground.

"Nice catch, thanks", Diana grunted as she check her leg bleeding profusely.

Roman tore a part of her dress and tied it on her leg. "Can you stand up?", he worriedly asked.

"Yes. I don't have choice, Do I?", as she breathlessly winced on her deeply wounded leg.

And when the snarling beast approached them, Roman swiftly carried her in his arms and leaped away from the ravaging lycan.

Realizing that the lycan seems to follow Diana, Roman held his Luna close and tight. "Do you know that lycan? Did it bit you or something? He seems to know your scent", he asked.

"No, I never knew that creature since today", Diana said as Roman ran and leaped farther. Diana widened her eyes as she noticed the lycan is after them again. "It's coming, Roman!", she said in fear.

"Hold on tight, Luna", Roman ordered Diana as he leaped above ground. He smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Being this close to his Luna, his worried heart started to calm. Her scent is even more fragrant at this proximity, fueling him with more guts and courage. He held his trembling Luna tightly, as he runaway.

The lycan suddenly overtook them upfront, growling with his blazing yellow eyes. Roman put her down and placed her aside. "Luna, I'll hold him off. Run as fast as you could, I'll be right with you. Okay?" , Roman said as he held her face with his both hands.

"Be careful", Diana said as she hesitated to go in the woods alone.

With Roman's spirits uplifted at Diana's words, he darkened his eyes and stared at the beast who's chasing his Luna. Roman shapeshifted and attacked the lycan head on.

Just when Diana was about to go, a pair of wolves arrived. Lucas shifted on his human form and hurriedly approached Diana. "You need to get out of here! Go! Run Luna!!", he handed her stems of wolfsbane given by Sebastian as he push her out of the woods. Lucas then rolled over and shapeshifted in no time as he block the way from the ravishing beast.

Cory, on the other hand, aided Roman as he skillfully distracted the lycan while Roman attack from the rear. With all of his strenght and agility, Roman ran up the tree and leaped over the lycan scratching its face with his claws.

The lycan screamed frighteningly, then slammed its body towards the trees. Then, he took a log and aimed at the wolves who kept on pouncing one at a time. Afterwards, he let out a terrifying growl as he strongfully hit the three wolves with a log all at the same time.

Seeing his limping Luna flee on her own unprotected as the monstrous lycan follow her trail, Roman's heart pounded heavily in agitation before he completely blacked out.
