Luna Pov
...
I quietly winced in pain. Tyler was digging his finger into the knife wound that he put in my shoulder.
My stomach, was mostly healed up. I was still careful to take slow and shallow breaths so that I didn't slow down or stop the healing process. Despite wanting to cry out in pain, I resisted. Not, wanting to give him the satisfaction.
Tyler had been interrogating me for what it felt like an eternity. I would rather take Agnes steel hot rod against my back rather than be with Tyler in this position right now.
"You know Luna, under different circumstances, we could've really hit it off. We could still do it, but only if I get some straight answers."
Tyler's hands were gliding down my back. His hands brushing against my waist.
He snaked his hands under my shirt, putting them around my waist, his hands were hot, searingly hot. He squeezed it, my waist, causing me to gasp in not only pain but surprise. I didn't like where this was going.
I glared at the scenery, not even bothering to look at him. As his arms went lower tracing the knife wound that he had made, causing me to wince.
Then his hands went higher. I tried to breathe in and out calmly.
Desperately, trying not to panic.
His hands found my chest. I tensed up so hard that I could feel my bones, and muscles lock in place.
I sucked in a breath when his hands traced the material of the bra I was wearing.
I exhaled, telling myself that I couldn't shut down. Not now. I wasn't the only one in danger. Hayley and the baby were too. I would sacrifice myself willingly. Though I didn't think I would get the chance.
"Listen Tyler, or whoever you are, we are not going to hit it off, and even if this was a different circumstance it would still be a no," Tyler said nothing at first, but I heard his breathing go up. His grip on my waist painfully tightened.
I tried to move off him, but he put me on the ground. Threw me, more like it.
I tried to move away from him, but his hands pinned me down. He was so strong, I was still weak and dizzy from all of the blood loss, hunger, and dehydration. I twisted and turned every which way, but I was still hopelessly in his grip. He was now on top of me, his body weight all but crushing me.
"Luna, here's the deal," I glared at him, and his grip tightened. I winced my stomach was hurting again, and Tyler being on-top of me was not exactly helping my situation.
"You can tell me about Klaus, or I will hurt you in more ways than your pretty little head can imagine."
I turned away from him, and he growled. Before I knew it, I was flipped over, my stomach was on the ground, and it was killing me. I could feel the wounds that had healed re-open. Tyler put his body weight on me again, and I felt like I was going to suffocate. I was trying to keep my face out of the dirt. Tyler pulled my hair, and I winced.
"Oh, you are a tough one. Let's see how you react to this."
Tyler got off me, but I still felt like something wasn't right.
Tyler stepped on my leg, and I tried to get away from him by crawling. Then I heard it, a snap. I didn't feel it at first, but then I felt it, a sharp, excruciating pain.
I screamed, and grabbed my leg. Blood was everywhere. I could see the bone popping out. I tried to look and find Tyler, but he was gone. I assumed that much because he wasn't making any comments or threatening me.
I heard footsteps, and I tried to calm down because I was getting hysterical. I put one hand over my mouth to try and stop the noises I was making. I saw a figure come out of the woods, but it was so blurry.
I had to blink several times to see that it was Hayley. "Luna, oh my god, what did he do. I am so sorry, this is all my fault."
I grabbed Hayley's arm, "Hayley it's not your fault, you need to go find Klaus."
Hayley bent down to my level and put her hands on either side of my face.
"No, I can't leave you. Oh my god, there is so much blood. Luna, that leg looks awful bad."
Hayley reached her hand down to touch my leg. Her other hand over her mouth.
I pushed her hand away and was about to say something when Tyler appeared with his eyes glowing. I looked at Hayley, "Run, go get Klaus, I can hold him off."
Hayley glared at Tyler and then looked back at me.
"Luna, there is no way in hell that I am leaving you here with this animal." I stood up and grabbed Hayley by the shoulders. "Yes, you will, now go!!"
Hayley started walking back and then broke out into a run.
Tyler sauntered forward to chase after her. I got in-front of Tyler and pushed his back into a tree. Tyler got up and laughed, "Wow, you are stronger than I thought. Unfortunately, you are not part vampire."
Tyler came behind me and hit me in my good leg. He didn't break it, but it didn't feel good either. I punched him in the face, and he tackled me. The pain I felt in my leg was un-imaginable. My head hit something, so I was dizzy and disoriented again.
He wiped his nose, which was gushing blood. "You bitch, you broke my nose."
Tyler slapped my face so hard my head went to the side.
I swallowed back the blood in my mouth. Tyler grabbed me by the shoulders and lifted me. He slammed me up against a tree.
"You are alone, no-one cares about you, no-one is going to come and save you. We are going to have a good time. And after I get done with you, I am gonna go after Hayley, and then I will kill Klaus."
I worked up some blood in my mouth, and spit in his face.
I yelled out in pain when he put pressure on my leg.
Suddenly the pressure was gone. But the pain remained, somehow seeming to intensify.
I looked down, Tyler was on the ground clutching his arm.
"Klaus."
I've never been so happy to see him before this very moment. He looked angry.
He took a good look at me and then at Tyler, "Did he do this?" I nodded, and he gave me some of his blood from his wrist. I looked down at my leg, it wasn't getting any better. I grabbed Klaus' shoulders trying to study my-self and steal his attention away from Tyler.
"Klaus, you have to kill Tyler. He is planning on turning Marcel against you. He is trying to make a hybrid army. He tried to kill Hayley and the baby, he tried to kill me. He told me that he was going to kill you-"
I realized that I was rambling. My breathing was loud and broke off in the middle. My heart felt like it was about to come out of my chest. Klaus cupped his hands around my face, and he looked me in the eyes. They were calm.
"Breathe love. That's it, take deep breaths. Don't worry about Tyler he will be taken care of. I just need you to keep breathing."
I nodded and he put my head on his chest and kissed my hair. For a second I thought he was going to hug me but he carried me to a fallen log and gently set me down. He smiled at me and then he was gone.
The leaves that floated up in the air after he sped off was the only proof of him being there in the first place...

Still Luna's Pov
...
"Luna, me, and Hayley believe that Niklaus is going to use his child to create hybrids."
I glared at Elijah he was still talking about these dumb accusations that Tyler put into Hayley's brain. I liked Elijah and enjoyed his company but didn't like these accusations one bit. Klaus had it bad enough. Now his own brother and Hayley were going to turn on him.
If that's were this was going I wasn't going to go along with it...
"Look, Elijah, I respect and appreciate that you are trying to protect Hayley and me, but Klaus wouldn't use his child. I don't know why everyone assumes the worst out of him. He is trying to be good. Why can't you guys see that?" I said, looking at Elijah and Hayley.
"Luna, you don't know Klaus," Hayley said, carefully like she was spreading butter on some toast.
"And you do?" I retorted back, Hayley didn't understand. She didn't know him. She didn't want to take the time to get to know him.
"Luna, why don't you just think about this for a minute," Elijah said, and in response, I shrugged something hot bubbling in my chest.
"I've already made up my mind Elijah."
"Why are you always defending him?" Hayley asked her arms folded over her chest.
I snapped. Something describable to a string, being cut by a pair of sharpened shears.
"Because I remember a time when nobody was there to defend me."
Just thinking about my past brought tears to the surface.
"I refuse to stand against one of the people who freed me from the witches. Do either of you know what it feels like to have your face put in a tub of alcohol, after being cut in the face multiple times by a dagger? Do either of you know what it feels like to be burnt? To smell your flesh, to hear the sound of it sizzling. Do either of you know what if feels like to have every one of your ribs broken? It feels like you can't breathe, you will want death to come, but it never does. No matter how much you beg or plead. Because of the two of you and Klaus, I don't have to ever, experience that again. I am eternally grateful, but this is something that I can't do. This is wrong, and I want no part in it."
"Oh, did I walk in on something?"
I looked to see Klaus standing behind Elijah, his arms behind his back. There was blood on his chest.
Then I realized he had heard everything. I sighed things were about to get really ugly.
All because they assumed the worse...
