First and foremost I would like to apologize for our absence. Second, I would like to place 100% blame on my lovely girlfriend for wasting coffee in our computer. I don't know what she was doing, but she ruined our computer and files. It took us a while, but we finally got a "new" computer and are back up to our old gig. Hope you guys enjoy this quick chapter. ~Skye

Chapter 4: Visits Galore
Stupid Cassie. Stupid Carla. Stupid puppy dog eyes. Agh! Stupid fucking table! I groaned as I hopped around on one foot. Cradling my other foot, I rubbed the abused digit. The smallest toe always has a mind of it's own. Wandering into tables and shit. Getting on my laptop, I decided to just book my flight now to Atlanta. Goodness knows I'll forget. Carla and Cassie came back in moments later.
"What ya doing?" Carla asked as she lifted my laptop up to sit in my lap. I raised my brow at her and she just shrugged innocently.
"Getting plane tickets nosey." She pouted and Cassie giggled from her spot on the floor as she powered up the xbox.
"Plane? Where are we going?" I snorted and closed my laptop, setting it off to the side for later.
"WE aren't going anywhere. I'M going to visit my parents in Georgia." Carla nodded and slid off my lap and sat beside me, putting her feet on me.
"Why the sudden need for a trip?" Cassie asked as she loaded up Mortal Kombat.
"Well I haven't been home in a year, plus my dad wants to talk to me apparantly."
"Aw that's so sweet. You miss mommy and daddy." She teased from her spot on the floor. I scowled and kicked her in the back and she turned to glare at me.
"When are you leaving." Carla asked.
"Some time after the expo you two are forcing me to go to. I wont be gone that long. Just a week. Maybe not even that long." I leaned back against the couch as she nodded. I wonder what dad wanted to talk to us about. Why couldn't he just call? Oh man I hope it isn't anything serious. I swear if someone is dying I'm kicking Eli's ass. After a few hours of gaming, Carla decided to go home. After giving her a kiss on the cheek, she headed down the road to the nearest bus stop.
"I'm going out. We're nearly out of food. Do you need anything." Cassie asked as she pulled on her jacket. I shook my head and she shrugged before leaving.
I decided to kill some time on the computer since I wasn't really tired. It was about an hour of watching funny cat videos on my laptop when I heard a crash downstairs. My brows furrowed as I paused the video.
"Cas?" I called out. Silence was my answer. Shrugging I turned back to the computer and was about to press play when I heard it again.
"Cassie is that you?" Not getting an answer, I pushed away from my desk and peeked my head out of my door. When I heard another thudding noise, I rushed back over to my bed and grabbed the police baton thats usually hidden under there. Making my way out of my room, I slowly walked down the hall, trying to be as quiet as possible. The baton was held tightly in my right hand as I decended the stairs. Scannin the living room, and seeing nothing out of the ordinary, I made my way into the kitchen. A cabinet above the sink was open and fruit was falling out of it.
"Told her to stop putting food up there." I muttered to myself. As I bent down to pick up a couple apples, something hard and heavy crashed into my side. I sputtered as the air left my lungs. My dazed eyes looked up then widened.
"Hello there lovely." The creepy tattooed man was hovering above me, but he looked way differently. His hair was pure white and his eyes were pitch black, in his mouth were two rows of razor sharp teeth.
"What the hell? What...what are you?" My voice shook nervously.
"Beautiful aren't I? I may not be as high ranking as you, but we can make it work." His eyes raked hungrily over me. "Though I heard you had a little...extra." His hand settled over my crotch. I brought my knee up as hard as I could. Geez this guy had balls of steel, but it had the desired affect as he balled up and fell on his side.
Turning over, I stood and ran around the kitchen island, slipping slightly because of my socks. Suddenly the man was in front of me and he did not look happy.
"You stupid bitch." His hand colided with my cheek, and i could feel it split instantly. He reached down and rubbed where I kneed him. Angrily stalking towards me, he grabbed me around my neck and lifted me up. My eyes watered as my air was cut off. I clawed at his arm.
"P-please." I rasped out.
His head tilted to the side before a smirk appeared. "Ah i see what's happening here. You have yet to awaken." He threw me across the kitchen and my back colided harshly with the counter. I screamed as I felt and heard something crack.
"Now we have to get that pesky demon out of there. Then we can rule together. Sound good?" He walked towards me and kicked me in the ribs. I doubled over in pain. I grunted as he continued to kick me, his boot colliding with my face occasionally.
"S-stop." I tried to say, but my jaw proved to be useless. it instead came out as garbled mess.
He lifted me up by my hair and a sharp pain went down my spine and to my limbs. Everything felt like it was one fire. He was about to say something but then he tilted his head to the side. Scowling he turned back to me.
"Seems like we'll have to finish ths some other time baby." He planted a harsh kiss against my split lips and when he pulled back I could make out blood against his mouth through hazy eyes. Then. He disappeard. Next time I opened my eyes I saw a panicing Cassie kneeling in front of me shouting frantically into her phone.
"C-Cas..." She turned her head sharply in my direction and said something into her phone before hanging it up. She was saying something to me, but...
"C'nt h-hear." I gargled out. She said something again and waved her hands before walking away. I reached out to her before darkness clouded my vision. Pulling me into its sweet embrace.
...
The next time I woke up it was due to the sound of beeping. My eyes slowly cracked open, and I was met with the ceiling. I turned my head to the direction of the beeping, ignoring the stabbing pain in my neck, and i saw a heart monitor. The hell? Am I in a hospital? I tried to sit up and felt a tugging in my arm. I glared at the IV cable in my arm. The door opened and Lilian was walking in with a bag of chips in her hand. When she saw me she gasped and dropped the chips before running out of the room. She returned moments later with Lucas, Cassie and Carla behind her.
"Luna!" Carla rushed up to the side of my bed. She looked like she wanted to hug me, but thought better of it.
"Oh man. I'm so glad you're finally up." Cassie ran her hand through her red mane and plopped down in a nearby chair.
"What..." I paused and took a minute to work through the pain in my jaw. Taking a deep breath I continued. "What happened? Why am I in the hospital?"
"You don't remember?" Lucas asked and I shook my head in the negative. He looked over to Cassie.
"Luna you were attacked. I came home from work and saw the front door broken open. Then I saw you lying in the kitchen floor. I hadn't known how bad it was until I walked in. There was so much...blood. You wouldn't answer me so I called the paramedics. Then I called everyone else. You tried to talk to me, but when I answered you couldn't hear me." Cas looked close to tears and I wished i could comfort her. Lilian walked over and pushed a button on the side of my bed.
Moments later a doctor stepped in. He had blonde hair with extremely pale skin. His eyes were the same gold as the girls that came into the tattoo shop. He had a kind smile on his face as he stepped further in a closed the door behind himself. Out of the corner of my eyes i saw Carla blush as she saw the man appear. Aw is she crushing on doc?
"Glad to see you awake Luna. My name is Dr. Cullen." His voice was...damn if I was straight.
"Cullen? Oh! is your name Carlisle?" He tilted his head to the side as if confused by my questions.
"Yes I am. You're the same Luna daughter has been talking about." I nodded and smiled, but stopped when a sharp pain shot up through my neck.
"Yeah that's me." My voice was weak.
"Well let's just see how well you actually are." He slipped on those rubber medical gloves and got to poking and prodding.
A few minutes later, he was done with his examination. He frowned slightly as he wrote a few things down on his clipboard.
"While you are healing up quite nicely, I'd like to keep you in the hospital for a few more days." I groaned and leaned back against the pillows.
"Alright. You're the doc." I said with a sigh. Ah man! I need to finish planning my trip and here I am all bashed up in the hospital. No fair.
"I'll go get the nurse to get you some food. Gentleman...ladies." He nodded to my friends and exited the room. A few moments of silence passed before I spoke up.
"I gotta pee. Who want's to help?" The girls all rushed out the room leaving and embarrassed looking Lucas behind. I raised my brow with a grin, lifting my arms up.
"Well?"
I want to apologize for breaking the computer! -Niya
