There's always an underlying story that you find when you read between the lines...
As promised, Darius was locked into a room. Luna stired and went still again as Capricorn watched her. He moved form his chair nd picked her up shaking her. "Luna I know you hear me." Luna's eyes shot open, but it took her a long time to focus. She gaged blood coming out of her mouth but it wasn't alot and her neck had stopped. He placed her on her feet and she staggard, whipping the blood fomr her mouth.
Luna finally focused on Capricorn. "That was a warning Luna. Don't stray form me again! On top of that you should have found me when you first got here." She opened her mouth to protest but he raised his hand and she closed it. Basta walked in looking at Capricorn. "Take the little one here to the cage. I don't think she's learned her lesson yet. Oh and Basta don't be so hot to use your knife against her we need her alive." Basta only nodded dragging Luna out and throwing her inot an aold horse stall leaving only a glass of water. Luna curled up in the corner put her head down and cried. She finally drifted off sleep.
She woke a few hours later to Basta calling her name. She had a terrible headache and as Basta pulled her up she staggered and fell. Basta caught her and held her against him. She was so dizzy that she passed out and Basta finally just carried her to Capricorn's house.
"Is she wake yet Basta?" "Only slightly" Luna stired in his arms and opened her eyes slowly adjusting to the light in the room. Basta put her down and she focused on Capricorn. "Hello Luna" "Bow before him girl," snapped Basta. Luna only stood making no reply. "Basta! That is enough! go get the reader." He obeyed and disappeared without another word.
Luna stared at Capricorn for a long time befor she finally curtsied to him. "Come closer Luna." She obeyed never once speaking a word. It was dark outside, and all the lights in the house flickered. "why so nervous Luna? I'm not going to punish you." He creassed her cheek as she kneeled before him.
"Don't touch her!" He head snapped around all to quickly and she fell laying on the floor shuddering. "watch it Reader!" Darius got free form Basta and ran to Luna picking her up. "what have you dont to her?" He looked up at Capricorn. "That's none of you concern." A book fell to the floor next to him. "Read!" Darius made protest until Basta took Luna from him chocking her until she finally passed out. Darius then read shivering and tripping over words. Finally the house filled with money that would last them for a little while. He was taken back to his room.
Luna had moved into a corner after she woke again. "Luna my child come here." She obeyed staggering again from light headedness. Basta returned and Capricon instructed him on where to take Luna.
Basta threw her into a room.The lights were so bright that Luna had to close her eyes, "Basta its too bright in here..." "Quiet!" He lead her to the bed. She began to shiver against Basta. She felt him pick her up and lay her on the bed. She couldn't or didn't want to remember what happened next but it was nothing bad just the near it. Her eyes shot open plunging the house into darkness so quickly that Basta stumbled as he made the last knot in the robe that had tied her to the bed with. "Basta! Why the hell did the lights go off," came Capricorn's voice. The lights dimmed back on. Luna untied herself and she ran.
She got through the village unseen. She could see as well if not better then a cat in the darkness. She finally stopped running and collapsed on the ground passing out. Shadows came and gave her cover keeping an eye on her.
Capricorn walked to a stunned Basta. "Basta leave her be. Send someone to fine her. NOW!" Basta did as he was told he knew punishment would come later. Capricorn shook his head. He needed Luna and her powers, which even in this world she seemed to still have. He gave an evil smirck and seemed to just vanish from the spot.
