Danger
767 Words
Luna listened carefully.
Who called him? Who did they found?
She strained her ears to listen to the call, but she couldn't hear anything.
The man stood up and went to the balcony to answer the call.
His tone changed, almost commanding.
It was as if he was giving instructions to the person on the other end.
Luna stood there in the living room and watched him closely.
When he was done with the call, he walked back into the living room and saw Luna looking at him.
He raised his eyebrows.
“What happened? Who did you find?”
Luna asked.
The man stared at her for a moment.
He knew she would ask him that question.
He raised his hand and touched his chin. Then he strode to the dining, pulled out a chair and sat down.
“Who are you really?”
Luna asked again.
She slowly walked to him, waiting for him to say something.
This time, the man didn't ignore the question but he didn't answer it either.
“I have to go”
He said and stood up.
Luna's eyes widened in shock.
“Go to where?” In that condition?”.
Luna was stunned. His wounds haven't healed yet.
But his mind was made up.
He took his shirt which has holes in it from the stab wound and wore it.
“I can't stay here anymore ”.
The man added while fiddling with his belt, in an attempt to lock it.
“W…Why?”
Luna was speechless.
Watching him try to leave made her heart tighten a bit.
She wondered if it was because he hadn't healed yet.
She can't let an injured person go like that or was it for another reason?
She had always wanted him to get better soon and leave, so why was she feeling like this?
She questioned herself inwardly.
The man stopped what he was doing and looked at her.
He walked towards her and placed a hand on her shoulder.
“If I stay here, you'll be in danger”.
Luna wondered what he meant by that.
She raised her head and looked at him.
Their eyes met.
His grey eyes against her amber ones.
Luna swallowed.
It was as if he was staring right into her soul.
They stood there for some moment, reading each other's face.
Suddenly.
A black car pulled up right outside Luna's house.
Four men jumped out from the car, dressed in black and armed to the teeth.
They had tattoos drawn on their bodies, from their neck down to the other parts.
They looked scary.
They stood outside round the car.
Their eyes wandered around the neighborhood.
Like they were looking for something.
Luna watched them from the window, her heart raced.
She lives in a quiet neighborhood, so who are those people?
Just then, one of them pointed towards Luna's house.
He then whispered something to the others and they nodded.
One of them started walking towards the entrance.
Luna panicked.
Fear visibly written on her face. She took to steps away from the window.
Her body slammed into something like a wall.
She jumped and turned immediately.
It was the man.
He had been standing behind her all these while.
He also saw those men.
He furrowed his brows when he saw the man walking towards the door.
His facial expression changed.
Luna looked at his face and was a bit scared.
He had a serious expression on his face.
A knock was heard.
Luna was about to scream when a huge hand covered her mouth.
The man pulled her close to him and hid behind the door with her, away from the window.
The knock continued, this time stronger and louder than the first.
Luna's eyes widened.
Her heart threatened to jump out from her chest.
“Shhhhhhhhh“.
The man whispered softly and looked at him.
Luna nodded vigorously.
The knock continued.
“I know you're in there, open up!”.
A male voice sounded from outside the door.
The door handle twisted. He was trying to open the door.
But the door was locked.
He twisted it again.
This time, aggressively.
The man removed his hand from Luna's mouth and reached for something behind his waist.
It was a shiny object.
Luna looked closely. Her eyes widened in shock.
Her mouth flew open.
A Gun!
She couldn't believe her eyes, she was stunned.
The man sensed her fear.
“Stay Quiet!“
He ordered.
Luna froze.
Her mind went blank. Cold sweat ran down her face.
