OPEN YOUR EYES Chapter 5. Evil Still

Raven lashed out as the guy made a dash at Moonstar. Moonstar screamed for a moment as Raven smashed his fist into the guys face. There was the sound of his nose breaking. The guy hit the floor hard and started to get up blood pouring down from his nose. Raven just stood his face hard and stern. Both of his fists were clenched and he looked ready to kill. One of Raven's hands moved to the gun on his hip. He could make one quick move and take it out if he needed to. Shadow moved in front of Moonstar and she braced herself. Raven glared at Tristana and he saw her looking at Moonstar. It was a look of hate and envy.
"If you have something to settle Tristana don't take it out on her if it is with me. I am the one that you want to talk with," Raven told her, his violet eyes alight with fire and anger.
Tristana looked taken back as all four of the them and Shadow stood in the hall silent. The guy who had made a move to his Moonstar slowly backed away and was gone down one of the hallways on their right. Tristana soon followed with a look of hate on her face towards Moonstar. Their footfalls died away slowly and steadily.
Moonstar lost it the moment they were gone from range of hearing and sight. She collapsed sinking to the metal floor shaking uncontrollably. Shadow turned his head to looked at her and growled gently. Raven hurried to her side and bend do next to her putting his arm around her.
"Are you alright?" He asked his voice low and gentle.
Raven could feel Moonstar shaking as he held her close. Her breath was ragged and she sounded as though she were hyper ventilating.
"I-I th-th-th-ought-t-t th-th-a-at-t-t th-they-y were g-g-going t-t- to k-k-k-il-l-ll me!" She stuttered slowly.
Raven hugged her fiercely and kissed her gently.
"You are safe now Moonstar you know that I would never let anything happened to you," He told he quietly.
Shadow growled and nudged her cheek gently. He had grown attached to her through the months that she had been with him and Raven. He knew to protect her and followed how Raven acted around her and other people. If Raven hated someone he hated them if he cared about someone Shadow did as well.
Raven helped Moonstar to her feet and down the hall back to their room. There Raven made sure that Moonstar stopped shaking and that her breathing was under control before he started to talk with her.
"I don't think that it is safe for you to be here anymore we need to get out of here," Raven said stonily.
"I can't leave, not yet anyway. The stock is not all counted and we need that in order to survive," Moonstar told him taking another sip of the coffee that he had made for her.
"Damn the money!" He told her and she just shook her head in reply.
"I know that there is the chance that Tristana could catch me off guard again and try to kill me in order to do who know what! Still if I keep in groups of people and not out alone I should be fine," She told him her voice steady and confident.
Raven moved from his spot in a chair in the corner of the bare room to a spot on the bed next to Moonstar.
"Is this what you want then?" Raven asked her quietly looking deep into her silver eyes.
She nodded confidently and he sighed.
"So be it we stay but I swear god damn it if she does one more thing or comes close to doing one more thing I don't care what you say we are out of here," Raven told her sternly.
Moonstar smiled weakly and nodded. There was a harsh knock on the door and Raven rose to get it. It was Toren and he was looking for Raven.
"We wanted to ask if you and Shadow could go take an extra guard sweep?" Toren asked uneasily.
Raven looked back at Moonstar who nodded.
"Why?" Raven asked looking back at Toren.
Shadow rose from the spot where he was lying in the corner and stood watching the two men in the door.
"Well ever since you took our Van that one time now that he knows that you are in this area the forces have picked up and we are at a greater risk of being bombarded," Toren told him simply.
"So be it," Raven said irritably.
He turned and looked at Moonstar who nodded.
"You need to go," She told him with a smile.
"Remember stay in groups don't go off on you own," He pleaded with her.
Toren still waited in the doorway for Raven. Raven turned back towards him.
"I'm coming," He said and pushed past the other man.
Shadow followed his footsteps heavy against the metal floor.
Moonstar sighed and sat for a few more moments before shedding the blanket that had been wrapped around her and setting down her mug. She headed out into the hall towards the Zoid storage bay. *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*
Within in the next week Moonstar and Raven were packing and getting ready to leave back for their make shift home.
"Are you sure that you have everything?" Raven asked looking at Moonstar who was shoving things in a cloth sack.
He was leaning against the wall a bag of his things lying at his feet. He was ready to be rid of the place it was too crowded in and there were too many people.
'This will also keep Moonstar away from Tristana,' Raven thought to himself with a sigh.
Shadow looked over at him and growled. Raven did not react but for nodding his head thoughtfully. Moonstar watch them for a moment then went back to packing. She was moving slowly and taking her time. She was ready to go but not sure how things would go from here.
'Well just see,' She thought to herself and tossed the sack against the wall.
Just then the alarms sounded. All the lights went out and Raven leaned off the wall and clenched his fists.
"Now what!" He demanded as the red alarm lights came on.
"Lets go!" Moonstar said leaving their things and running out of the room.
They ran down the hall to the docking bay for the Zoids. People were running around frantic around heading in Zoids and going out for an attack.
"Toren what is going on!" Raven yelled grabbing a hold of the man.
"Van," Was all he said before Raven let him go.
"Shit," Moonstar said quietly.
"Stay here I have to go out," Raven said taking a step towards the Genobreaker Shadow following.
Moonstar grabbed and hold of his arm and he looked back at her.
"Be careful out there promise me. . ." Moonstar told him.
He pulled her in a kissed her them pulled away and headed towards the Genobreaker. He was gone soon enough.
