Forced To Be His Luna

The Reunion

Neo's breath intensified, with his heart panting heavily. "What have you done?" He marvelled at the dead body slipping down the chair.

"One way or another, Ava's gonna hate you," he buckled his gun then walked in front of Neo to take his. "Because all this is happening because of you. If you had stayed away from her back when we broke up back in school. She might still have a mom."

"You i***t!" Neo's rage grew, with his heart pounding heavily inside him.

"Oh your powers won't work, Neo. The dose of that syringe they injected you with still has it's effects. And when it fades we'd inject you with the permanent dose, and strip of your powers like we do all criminals," he chuckled and knocked on the door twice.

"When I get out of here, I'd run my fist through your bones until they chatter, every last one of them," he threatened angrily.

"When you get out of here will be when you die," he turned around and left the room as soon as the guard opened the door.

"Hendrix!" Neo roared as they shut the door in his face.

...

"So what's it gonna be?" Hendrix grabbed Neo's head and whispered in his ears. "You prefer losing Ava forever? Or Ava losing her mom forever?"

Hendrix stands up and his whole upper body is cut out of the frame. Then suddenly A loud bang echoed and Ava quickly put the tablet away from her face while tears filled her eyes.

"It was a mere test, Ava," Hendrix sat at the edge of the bed besides her and brushed her hair with his palm. "I wanted to show you the man you gave your heart to. Even I didn't think he'd shoot her."

Ava sobbed silently without a word to Hendrix. In a bid to comfort her he gently put her head down on his thighs and continued to soothe her hair.

"I'm sorry for the way I treated you before but there was no other way to save you from him. I mean, he killed his own parents what are the chances he won't lose control one day and kill you too?"

"My little brother. What about my little brother?" Ava slowly raised her head.

"We'd bring him here and give him a sanctuary. He'd never have anything to worry about in his life ever," he placed his hand on his chest. "This I promise you."

"Thank you," she said, disheartened. Then she rested her head on his thighs again.

...

The next morning fast footsteps approached Neo's cell where he sat quietly. In a second Ava showed up and wasting no time the prison guard opened the door wide.

Uncuffed, Neo stood up on his feet and hurried up to her in hasty steps in a bid to hug her. Rather than a warm embrace, Ava slaps him on the face. "You bastard. I trusted you. I gave everything up for you."

"Ava." Neo reacted in surprise, with his palm on his face.

"And then you repay me by killing my own mother. For what?" She yelled. "To keep your stupid secret from getting to me. I would have known better before I fell in love with a man like you."

She turned around to leave when Neo grabbed her hand, "Ava, he's lying to you."

With a deaf ear to his words she turned around and pulled away. "Let me go," she kicked him in the nutsack. As soon as he landed on the floor she spat on him. "You should be ashamed of yourself."

Hendrix entered behind her with a mischievous smile and placed his hand over her shoulder. "Let's go home, dear. I'd make you warm."

She hugged him with both her hands on his chest, a romantic sight that Neo wished he had never seen.

"When is his execution? I don't ever wanna see him again," Ava cried to Hendrix.

"Whenever you want, sweetheart? I offer you his life, do what you plead with it."

"I want him to fall to his death from on top a skyscraper, honey. I want him to know what it's like to fall into the wrong place, like he tricked me to fall for him," she explained with rage. "And I want him death now."

"As you wish," Hendrix kissed her on the forehead and signaled the guards. "Bring the man."

...

In a few minutes Neo stood quietly on the edge of a skyscraper with a look of disappointment which he couldn't suppress at all. Eyes carved out of the bowels of pain and a mind void of thoughts; the only way he could prevent it from exploding.

Hendrix walked to him and whispered, "Evil always wins." Then he turned around to Ava, "He's all yours."

"3 years of my life wasted, because of you," Ava's words echoed through the heavy wind. "Because I thought you loved me just like I loved you, Neo. Good bye."

In a sudden twist of events, she dived on him falling down the building alongside him. Neo's eyes widened in shock while his back helplessly plummeted down from the sky.

A guitar's rhythm played at the background of Ava's mind while in the free fall. With her eyes locked on Neo's and both their bodies warning each other's to the reckoning of their cold death.

Surely Ava didn't have enough time to think of the escape plan through but no matter the case, the gift of death felt like a more delightful reality than the horror's of being a abuser's helpless w***e.

However, once gravity curvature took it effect on them, pulling their straight fall closer to the building Ava declined the invitation of death and ran down the building using her superhuman speed to steer the weight of their fall to a safe landing on the ground.

They soon get out of sight for everyone on the building.

"This people just never learn," Hendrix grabbed the neck of one guard and pulled him closer, "Find her little brother and bring him to me."

...

Meanwhile below the concretes of the city's fine roads, Ava and Neo walked through the sewages underground. Drawing their feets through the dirty waters and scaring off the squeaking rats.

As soon as they got to a dryer side of the sewage Ava put a hand on Neo's chest, holding him back from going any further. "Tell me the truth, what really happened to your parents?"

Goosebumps immediately graced Neo's skin while his lips quavered on top one another. "Volkor. The wolf demon. He comes on me when I've used my lunar ability past 3 minutes and... takes control of my body."

Ava's hand dropped from his chest with emotions of concern wearying her expression. "Why did you hide it from me?"

Neo's bowed in shame, "I didn't want you to see me as a monster. I didn't want to lose you." A second briefly passed and he walked closer to Ava with a more energetic tone. "I haven't used my powers for a long time. I would never do anything to hurt you. I promise."

Ava suddenly placed her hands over his neck and started kissing him passionately, with her neck wavering back and forth while her tongue swam in his spit.

As time elapsed Neo pulled away, "We have to get to safety. Hendrix's men must be looking for us."

Ava placed a finger on his lips, "I've been through so much horror this few days. You don't have the right to deny me a good time," her voice grew slightly paranoid as her hand ventured into his pants.

"Save me, Neo," she begged with her eyes almost growing teary of the horrors that consumed her mind. "Save me from this horrible memories."

Without another word Neo carried her up in his arms, with her legs wrapped around his waist, then he administered a series of kisses on her lips, all the way to her boobs and then he laid her on the floor and went down on her lower, more vertical lips.

"The sewage's cover wasn't well placed, I thought I should check it out and here we are, again," Hendrix walked towards them majestically, while an army stood behind him ready to shed blood in those dirty waters.

Neo quickly stood up on his feet with rage boiling down inside him. "You should have never touched her." He balled his fists.

"And you should have never tried to escape with my wife. Now this will be your grave and I'd take Ava back and punish her for cheating on me just days after our wedding," he swung his fingers and the men raced towards Neo like medieval soldiers on a battlefield.

"Go, get away from here," Neo whispered to Ava with his eyes locked on his numerous foes.

"I'm not leaving you," she resisted.

"Go!" He turned around with an angry roar.

Ava realized his eyes has turned gold and she backed off slowly, then she turned around and ran away.

Neo delivered the first punch which broke the bones in the chest of the man it collided with and projected him back some inches pushing one line of the army backwards.

He then grabbed the hand of the closest man and twisted it without struggle. The rumble continued with more and more men embracing the ground with broken bones.

Meanwhile Ava raced through the tunnels with tears on her cheeks. Dizziness weighing down her mind and blocking space for any pure thoughts as the memories of the last few days traumatized her mind, putting her in a vacuum of disastrous illusions.

Now every step Ava took feels like she's walking through the doors of a more horrifying nightmare, but she can't go back, she's trapped. Behind her, underneath and above, reality chased itching to tear her apart completely and to turn good days into a fairytale she can only wish for.

Flustered by her thoughts her eyes didn't pay much attention to her path anymore and she accidentally stepped on a skateboard which immediately locked her foot to it and added more speed to her run.

In a bid to stop it she tapped her feet on the ground, but everytime she raised it up the speed increased. Eventually a vibrant white light shun and she disappeared.

Reappearing with her face flat on a dusty mud road with cowboys and carriages riding through.

"Hey, get of the road," a young man in his mid 20's yelled to her while dressed in a classic wide West outfit.

He then jumped down from his horse and helped her up, "What's a young beauty like you doing on this side of the road?"

Ava looked around to behold the buildings around her, all wooden except for a few bricked ones. However they all had a common attribute, they are rustic with pitched roofs.

"Where am I?" She grabbed the man's hand tightly.

"Relax. You're in New York City," he raised his hand like a showman making a grand introduction.

Ava's heart heavied with her eyes still popping wide open like they're about to explode.

"Miss, are you alright?"

"What day is it?" She questioned.

"October 3rd, 1913," he replied briefly.

In a burst of unbelief, Ava fainted in his arms.
