1- Blood... so much blood!
Luna's POV Blood... there was so much blood! In an instant, I frantically tried to open the door, peering out into the darkness of the room, trying to examine the room in all its glory. "Someone there..." I begin. But before I had a chance to scream out, a huge hand covered my mouth and pulled me deeper into the room, tossing me to the ground. The dead body was literally right in front of my face. My eyes widen in shock at the sight of the body. I could not help but stare in horror at the lifeless body lying on the ground. Three men loomed around me in the dark, and I could barely make out their faces. From the looks of things, they were all apart of some kind of gang. As I take in a big gulp of air, a chill ran up my spine, and my skin and lips turned pale as a sheet. "How did she do it? Wasn't someone guarding the door?" Suddenly a deep voice echoed around the room, causing me to jump back in fear. I glance up and stare at his domineering face, a gun in his hand, and silently wonder if it is the murder weapon? No one around me dared speak, for a time there the only sound in the room was my scared shaky breathing. "P-please...." I stammered out slowly, being so afraid of the man standing in front of me holding a gun. "I d-didn't see anything!" I took a few steps back, attempting to put some space between me and the man. Unfortunately, I did not realize that I was about to trip over the dead body lying on the floor. I lost my footing and closed my eyes, bracing myself for a direct impact with the corpse. Yet two strong arms suddenly encircled my waist, pulling me closer to a man's chest. He had caught me just in time. "Let me go!" I swung back to try to hit the man who held me against his brick-hard chest. The man stiffened as he tightened his grip on me to prevent me from getting away. "Come on guys, let's get this taken care of fast and get out of here. We need to handle the body, and Todd, take care of the girl." The man holding the gun ushered them all out, he appeared to be the one in charge. "Yes, sir." The guy holding me answered the other one, pulling me along with him as he walked away from them. He took me into another room, where there was a queen-sized bed. "Now to figure out what to do with you..." the guy growled out beside my ear as he shoved me towards the bed, causing me to stumble and fall on top of it. I glared at him... who did he think he was? "How dare you... please let me go." I scream at the man, he wasn't going to just keep me here was he? No, I needed to get away now... he grabbed my wrist, slamming me against the wall with his giant hands, covering my mouth. "Woah lady, you're not supposed to hit me like that! I don't just let women touch me like that! I'm really sorry, but you've forced me to do this!" He says pulling out a clear vile filled with a clear liquid. That was when it dawned on me what he was going to do, he was going to drug me... no! "Please don't do it! I promise to act responsibly, please..." I start to rationalize with this man, I know that he will be able to do whatever he wants to me and there is nothing I can do to stop him. After the needle poked into my shoulder, I felt a bit of pain before dizziness started to swarm all over my body and I began to relax a bit. I felt him pick me up and toss me onto the bed as my eyes closed and I drifted off into the darkness. ******************** Cole's POV I had just finished stuffing the body into the suitcase when Todd entered the room and turned toward me. I wanted to ask him what he did with the woman but he spoke first, cutting me off. "Hey boss, I had to sedate her... what is it you want me to do with her exactly?" he asks as he stops right next to me. I racked my brain, wondering what to do with this little nuisance. I couldn't simply turn her loose. She would talk, and I couldn't tolerate that. I had to guarantee she wouldn't tell anyone about what she saw here today. "Put her in my room, and I'll deal with her later!" I snapped at him, probably more rudely than I meant to be. "Yes, boss." He replies quickly, and I watch as he turns and walks away to put the girl in my room, I'd let her sleep it off, and hopefully come morning she won't remember a thing so I'd be able to let her go. We finish up quickly, and I let one of my guys take care of the body. It seemed that nothing traumatic had happened, so I knew I was safe for now. The only thing I had to be concerned about was her. I walk toward my room, knowing that he will have laid her in my bed. But I didn't care, I needed some sleep myself and I needed it now. On opening the door to my hotel room, I heard her quiet breathing, and I had to admit that I quite enjoyed it. I look down into her face as I quietly approach 8ujjjjjjjuuujjuunuujujjjjjQ0-----------------------------------------------------the bed, she looked so innocent, so fragile. Suddenly, instead of just wanting to get rid of her, I felt an overwhelming urge to keep her safe, to protect her from harm. What was wrong with me? This woman certainly wasn't the prettiest girl I'd ever seen, but she wasn't the ugliest either. Knock-Knock "Hey boss, did you decide what you were going to do with the girl?" he asks stepping into my room, I step away from my bed and look in his direction. "No... I still have to figure that out, because I never expected to have to deal with this kind of problem, this was never supposed to happen." I growl, running my fingers through my hair. He clears his throat and asks, "Can I suggest anything?" as he folds his arms across his chest. "What?" I yell at him, annoyed by the situation. "Well, after you told me to bring her here I decided to look her up. I needed to know who she was and find out if she is worth anything and I found out a lot. It would be in your best interest to just keep her boss, she's important. It turns out that the party that was being held here in the hotel last night was for her father, he was the groom of the wedding. He got married to his second wife and it also turns out that the man we killed last night was going to be her groom in about 2 months. She was supposed to marry him, boss! Turns out that her new stepmother arranged a marriage for her, and that she stands to inherit all of his money even though she's not yet married to him. So she would be worth keeping around, just a suggestion." he spills to me. "What?" I yell, it was horrible news. "She was supposed to marry that douchebag?" He smiles as if he is proud of himself: "Yep, and we really saved her from that fate. " I glance at the woman on my bed, how could they do that to her? "It is the 21st century... no one arranges marriages anymore. Are you sure all of this is true?" I growl out, I was beyond angry about what he just told me. The man looked taken aback as he replied, "Of course I am sure boss... Her Dad and her stepmom signed the papers only a few days ago. It seemed as though she was worth only about a million dollars to them." he replied. Without saying anything back, I walk over to the window. Suddenly I felt the need for a cigarette, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This woman, who looked no more than 18 years old, was going to be forced to marry that lunatic? And for what? For money? Life is crazy sometimes, isn't it? I glanced back and saw her lying there on the bed. I wondered if she knew what her parents were doing. She didn't seem to recognize the dead man lying on the floor in front of her, and she didn't seem to care at all about him. It was almost as if she had never even met him before. "Okay, I'll make a decision on what to do with her in the morning." I growl out as I place the cigarette up to my lips, taking in another drag. "Okay boss, sure thing." I hear him say before walking back out of the room, only to return a few minutes later with some rope. I smile a little as I watch him tie her hands to the bed, this girl was not going to be going anywhere without me knowing about it and that knowledge made me relax a little. For the time being she was mine, and I was going to make sure it stayed that way. "Thank you for doing that, now get out. I need to get some shut-eye, I will see you in the morning." I growl out at him. "Yess boss... enjoy your night." he sends me a wink and leaves the room as if I would do anything like rape this girl. I finish with my cigarette and then head over to the bed. I look down into her angelic face yet again, I hoped she was having some good dreams after she witnessed something she was never supposed to see in the first place. I go ahead and climb into the bed after undressing to my boxers, she just continued to breathe as she slept everything off... I closed my eyes trying to will myself to fall asleep, only I couldn't stop thinking about her.
