His Fated Luna

Chapter 4 – Cries and Flashy Eyes

Tears fell down my face and I shuddered, feeling myself being violated.

"Get away from her!" A loud, frightening voice boomed through the corridor, making Andrew flinch and move his face away from my neck. I squirmed trying to get free, and looked in the direction of the voice, to see a fuming Axel standing there, his eyes tightly closed.

In a swift move, Andrew was being ripped away from me, and thrown - literally thrown across the corridor with a kind of a inhumane strength. He went flying, and hit his head against the wall and fell to the ground, instantly unconscious. For a second I thought that I saw Axel's now open eyes flicker gold, but soon they were back to the original chocolate brown color, as he turned his attention to the other guy who was holding onto Aubrey. The guy immediately let go of her and fled away, leaving his friend alone. Axel made his way to Andrew and caught hold of his collar, pulling him up, as he dragged him away with ease.

Aubrey quickly ran to me, and engulfed me in a consoling hug, as I cried on her shoulder. However as I realized what Axel was doing I immediately pulled away and ran after him, being followed by Aubrey.

Axel dragged the unconscious Andrew outside the main building, and threw him to the floor, sitting on top of him, as he started punching his face. I gasped and told Aubrey to get Axel's friends, to which she immediately obliged and ran inside while I ran to Axel.

"Stop it," I begged. "He'll die!"

However it had no effect on him, and he continued to punch his now b****y face. "Axel, stop!" I cried placing a hand on his shoulder, and his head snapped towards me, his eyes bright gold. I gasped and backed away from him, and immediately his eyes were brown again, so quickly that I was unsure if they actually did turn gold or I was only imagining it.

"Axel! Get off of him," Stefan yelled running towards us, and Warren, Aubrey and Catherine followed behind him. Stefan pulled Axel away from the unconscious Andrew and his face showed the amount of force he had to use in order to succeed. Axel stepped away from Andrew, but not before kicking him as he muttered curses under his breath. Stefan immediately hugged Axel, which was probably to whisper something in his ear, that got Axel to calm down. Aubrey and Catherine made their way towards me, but Catherine reached me first, and immediately she pulled me into a soothing hug.

"You're okay, it's okay," she whispered, her hug sisterly, and her voice calming.

"Scarlett!" I heard Addison's worried voice as she ran over to me. Catherine pulled away and Addison wrapped her arms around me. I guess the whole affair had given Addison the time to finish her test and come back. "Are you okay?" She asked me, her face full of concern.

"Yes, I'm fine." I replied, my eyes shifting to Axel who was looking at me intently, his eyes soft and filled with concern and worry. I diverted my gaze from him and hugged Addison, closing my eyes, cherishing the contact. In that moment I missed my brothers and Arthur a lot. I knew they too would have reacted the same way Axel did.

That thought reminded me that I hadn't thanked Axel so I pulled away from Addison, however, they were all gone. It was only Addison, Aubrey and I left. Andrew was gone too.

"Where did they go?" I asked.

"Warren and Catherine took Andrew to the nurse's office, and Axel left fuming with anger, so Stefan went after him," Aubrey explained.

"Oh," I said and then hugged Aubrey. "Are you okay? Is your arm okay?" I whispered, as I remembered how Andrew's friend had twisted her arm behind her back.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Are you okay?" She asked, pulling away as she placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Yes I'm fine, thank you for trying your best to protect me," I said and then hugged Aubrey again. Addison joined us as we stayed their completely still for a few soothing moments, in a sisterly group hug.

If only Rebecca was here to comfort me.

"That son of a-Are you okay?" Arthur asked, his voice filled with concern. I never hid anything from him so I had just told him about the entire incident over Skype. Obviously being my boyfriend, he was now worried sick for me.

"Yes, I'm fine. Axel reached just in time," I replied, with a reassuring smile.

"Gosh I think I need the guy's number so I can thank him personally," he said, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"I'll convey your message, you don't need his number." I chuckled.

"Make sure you do," he replied firmly, but their was a ghost of a smile across his lips. "I miss you so much, Scar. I just wanna wrap you in my arms."

"Me too, Art. I love you,"

"I love you more," he replied, blowing me a kiss. I smiled and blew him a kiss back. "You should go to sleep, you must be tired."

"Yeah, you're right. Good bye," I replied, and as if on cue, a yawn escaped my mouth.

"Ba-bye, I'll call you tomorrow." Arthur smiled and ended the call. I closed my laptop and placed it on the side table of my bed, as I lied down prone on my bed, my cheek placed on my soft pillow. It was only 2 p.m. since I'd taken an early off after the whole incident. Addison had driven me home, and to my surprise, I hadn't seen Catherine, Stefan, Warren or Axel after the incident. As if they knew I was thinking about them, my phone buzzed with a message. I decided to ignore it, and kept my eyes closed. Then it buzzed with another message, then another and another.

I groaned and picked my phone up to check who was texting me. One message was from Catherine and the other two were from unknown numbers.

Catherine

Hey, how you feeling?

Me

I'm fine, thanks for asking :).

Catherine

Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything, okay?

Me

Thank you

Catherine

Don't mention it

I smiled at how sweet and concerned she was. Then I checked the texts from the unknown numbers.

Unknown

Hey Scarlett, it's Stefan. I'm Catherine's boyfriend, in case you don't know me. You okay?

Me

Yes, Stefan, I'm fine. And I do know you. Thank you for what you did today :)

Stefan

Oh it's no problem, I didn't really do anything. It was all Axel.

Me

But still. Thanks a lot :)

Stefan

:) :)

Then I checked the last message, a small part of me hoping it'd be Axel. But it wasn't. It was Warren, and he like his friends was just checking up on me. I told him I was fine and thanked him. I was about to lie down and sleep when I realized that I hadn't thanked Axel for what he did for me. A small part of me was terrified of what I think I saw, his eyes flashing golden. It somewhat reminded me of the guy in my dreams, but that wouldn't make any sense as supernatural s**t didn't exist. I decided that I had imagined it due to all the stress and pressure I was feeling, and thus I decided to do the right, and polite thing and thank Axel for what he did for me. I don't know what would have happened if he hadn't been there.

Me

Um, Stefan? Could you send me Axel's number? I wanted to thank him for what he did for me.

Stefan

Sure. Just a minute.

Within a few seconds he texted me a number and I quickly thanked him before typing a text for Axel.

Me

Hey Axel. Scarlett here. I just wanted to thank you for what you did for me today, I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't showed up in time. So thank you so much xx

I sent it before I could realize that I made an 'xx' at the end. I didn't really think it was inappropriate but having a boyfriend, it just felt somewhat wrong. However I had already sent the text and this wasn't i********: that I'd be able to unsend it. So I sighed and placed my phone away. I waited for a few minutes for a reply but when I didn't get it, I just lied down again, feeling slightly disappointed. However just then my phone buzzed twice. I jolted up and checked my phone, however something in me fell seeing that the texts were from Aubrey and Addison. They too were checking up on me. I got some lovely friends.

I told them I was fine and lied down again, now completely losing the hopes of receiving a reply from Axel. He probably didn't even like me and just did what he did, because he was just a nice guy who didn't support s**t like that. For some reason I felt a little sad at that thought, I really couldn't explain why. As if on cue my phone buzzed and I lazily picked it up, and this time, the text was indeed from Axel.

Axel

Hey, Scarlett. It was no problem. I'd do that anytime xoxo

I smiled to myself seeing his reply, and felt somewhat giddy. Although it was very wrong of me, I couldn't control what I felt.

Me

:) :)

Axel

Are you okay?

Me

Yeah, I'm much better. All thanks to you :)

Axel

I'm glad you're okay. And I said earlier, I'd save you anytime. Think of me as your Knight in shining armor ;)

As nice as that would feel, I realized that I had successfully given him the wrong hint. Way to go, Scar.

Me

My boyfriend wanted to thank you as well. He's really glad you were there :)

And after that, he didn't reply. I waited for a whole hour, yet there was no reply. Maybe he liked me... And knowing that I had a boyfriend already, put him off. Or maybe I was over-thinking and he'd have got busy. I just missed my bestie at that moment, I wanted to talk to her, to speak my mind to her, to ask her what was wrong with me. But I knew she would be extremely busy these few days, because back in Larkinge, my home town, they'd have their exams starting very soon. She wasn't a genius like Arthur was, and thus I had made her promise me that she wouldn't call or text me until she was free from her exams. Because if we started talking, we wouldn't be able to stop until hours had gone by.

I lied down closing my eyes, but for some reason the image of his golden eyes flashed in my mind before I drifted off to sleep.
