"Hey Luna," Lincoln said. His eyes had eyebags, and he reeked of alcohol.

I staggered back.

"Long time no see," He looked at my face. He looked behind me, and he saw Lily standing. "Lily? Oh God!" I turned around and I saw Lily shuddered. I ran to her and I pulled her back, blocking him from reaching her. She's afraid.

"Stay back," I said.

"We've been looking for you! Mom is worried sick Lily!" Lincoln entered the house. Lily grabbed my shirt, I felt Lily grab my shirt. She's not ready. I'm not ready. Fuck. We're not supposed to meet like this. Not now.

"Lincoln, stay back! She's getting overwhelmed!" I yelled. Lincoln stopped. "Go back a bit," I told him.

"Oh, uh, sorry," He took a few steps back. "We've been looking for you for so long Lily, let's go home now, come on." He tried to persuade her. But she clenched my shirt tighter.

"Lincoln, can we discuss this tomorrow? She doesn't want to go, not right now," I said.

"I understand..." Lincoln said. "But I don't care, step aside Luna. I'm taking her home. "I can't force you to come with us, but she's coming with me." He stepped forward reaching for Lily. I pushed Lily back, covering her from Lincoln. "Step aside Luna, I don't want to hurt you, I just want to bring her back with me," He came closer, and just as he lunged at us, I kicked him off and pushed Lily back.

"GET IN THE ROOM!" I yelled. Lily bolted to the master bedroom. Just as she closed and locked the door, Lincoln grabbed the knob. He tried to open it, but he couldn't.

"OPEN THIS DOOR!" Lincoln yelled as he pounded his fists on the door. "OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR!"

"LINCOLN STOP THAT!" I yelled at him as I pulled his arm. He turned his head around and he looked at me. His face red of anger.

"LET GO OF ME!" He punched me in the guts. Fuck that hurts. I didn't let go of his arm. "I SAID LET GO!" He punched me again.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TAKE HER AWAY LIKE THIS!" I punched him in the guts too. He didn't budge. His adrenaline must be pretty high right now. Fuck. He grabbed me by my shirt collar and pinned me to the wall. "That all you got?" I spat at him. And like clockwork, I regretted that decision. He punched my face hard. He threw me to the floor and he pulled me by my hair.

"GIVE ME THE FUCKING KEYS LUNA!"

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF THIS HOUSE!" I yelled as I tried to pry his fingers off.

"GIVE ME THE FUCKING KEYS!" He threw me to the floor and stepped on my head. I could feel my head getting dizzy. I could feel the tumor buzz like a fucking hornet in my brain. I screamed as he pushed more weight on my head. I couldn't move. He's not like the scrawny assholes before.

"OVER MY DEAD BODY!" I shouted. He pulled his foot up, and I tried to get up. I was on all fours when he kicked me in the guts. FUCK.

"LILY OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR! WE'RE GOING HOME!" He yelled as he went back to the door. The pain is not letting me get up. But he'll reach Lily if I don't do anything. Fuck. Slowly, I got up. I felt one of my fangs in my mouth. I spat it out and I lunged on his back. "GET OFF ME!"

"I'M NOT LETTING YOU TAKE HER!" I wrapped my arms around his neck tightly. He grabbed my arms and he threw me at the door. The wood broke and I fell inside the bedroom. I felt pain in my chest. Fuck. I can't breathe. I gasped for air. "I- I can't- I can't breathe-" I gasped. I saw Lily. "Run-" I gasped, I wanted to tell her to hide in the bathroom, but she ran to me instead.

"LUNA!" She grabbed my arm, trying to pull me up. I couldn't move.

"LILY! WE'RE GOING HOME!" Lincoln grabbed her arm and pulled her through the large hole in the door. Lily didn't let go of my arm. "I SAID LET'S GO!" Lincoln slapped her, yet she still wouldn't let my arm go.

"I'M NOT LEAVING LUNA!"

"YOUR MOTHER IS WAITING FOR YOU AT HOME! WE'RE GOING NOW!" He clenched her arm harder and he yanked stronger.

"You- you're hurting her," I coughed as I try to get up. I can't let him hurt her.

Lincoln didn't let her go. He grabbed her other other arm, the one that's holding mine, and he ripped her away from me. Lily cried loudly. "LET ME GO! LINCOLN LET ME GO!" Lily cried. Lincoln pulled her out. I could hear him dragging her out of the house. I couldn't see her. Fuck. Slowly, I stood up. I can't leave her like that. Just as I stood up, I felt my ribcage hurt. Slowly, I hobbled out the door. I need to get to her. Just as I got out of the house, I felt my head ringing and my chest burn. I can die later. I need to get to her. I got down the stairs and I saw Lincoln throwing Lily in the backseat of the car. I tried to run, but I fell. "NO!" I shouted. Lincoln looked back. He got in his car and he drove off. I crawled out of the house, but I was too late. He already accelerated.

No. I can't give up. Slowly, I got back up. I pushed my hand on my guts, and I followed the sound of his car. I need to get her. I need to get her. Slowly, I hobbled. Just as I passed the gas station and out of town. I heard bikes coming from behind. I need to get to them.

"Lookie here, it's that bitch from the diner." I remember that voice. It's those bikers. I heard their bikes shut off. I can't do this now. I need to get to Lily.

"Wounded birdie, would you like a ride?" I felt someone pull my hair back. I grunted. I need to get to Lily. I need to get to her now. I need to save her. He kicked the back of my knee and I was forced to kneel on the asphalt. "Look at me when I'm talking to you."

"Let me go you son of a bitch," I groaned in pain. They laughed.

"Let's not do the dying tough bitch act here now," He said as he pushed his face close to mine. I smelled his breath. It was horrendous. "You know what, your face looks nice with the bruises and all. I kind of want to leave my own mark there too," He chuckled as he licked my cheek. FUCK. I shuddered. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw him taking a switchblade out. "Let me give you something for the cameras," He pushed the blade down on my forehead. I screamed. "You didn't give me the chance to beat up that guy in the diner. Think of this as interest." He pulled the blade down to my nose. Blood rushed down. FUCK. FUCK. I tried to scream but his friend shoved a sock in my mouth. I cried. I need to get to Lily. The blade is now just below my eye. I could feel the night air blasting through my skin. I'm sorry, Lily. I closed my eyes, and just as I thought all hope was lost. I heard a gunshot. The blade stopped. It fell to the ground, and soon the guy followed suit. I saw the hole in the back of his head. The other two bikers didn't wait. They ran, but they too were shot. I need to get to Lily. I tried to get up, but I couldn't. I fell on the ground, my face looking at the asphalt. I couldn't move. My body ran out of juice.

"LUNA!" Jim's voice rang out. Haha. Dumb luck I have. "FUCK!" he pushed me on my side. I saw his face shined. The high beam from his truck killed the stars. Fuck. I couldn't get to her. I failed. I could feel tears running down my eyes. He pulled the sock out of my mouth, and he raised my head up. "Stay with me now, don't you fucking dare die." He took his phone out. I need to find Lily. I need to-


"LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Lily bashed on the window. Lincoln was driving the car fast. "LET ME OUT!" Lily kicked the passenger seat, making Lori hit her head on the dashboard, waking her up.

"Ouch! What the fuck?" She turned her head around and she saw Lily. "Lily?"

"LET ME OUT OF THE CAR NOW!"

"Wait Lily?!"

"LET ME GO BACK TO LUNA!"

"Luna?!" Lori scratched her head. "Lincoln what the fuck is going on?"

"Shut the fuck up,"

"Lily, what happened?!" Lori turned around.

"THIS BASTARD TRIED TO KILL LUNA, AND HE LEFT HER THERE!"

"What?!" Lori, turned to Lincoln. "IS THIS TRUE?!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

"TURN THE FUCKING CAR AROUND!" Lori yelled.

"LET ME GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR ALREADY!" Lily continued bashing on the window. Finally, it cracked. Lincoln turned his head around. Lily bashed it more. Lincoln grabbed her by her hair and pulled her back.

"LINCOLN FUCKING STOP THAT!" Lori yelled as she tried pulling Lincoln's grip away. The car swerved and swerved. His eyes were focused on Lily. Lily struggled. As fate decided to fuck it all, Lincoln swerved the car too far left and they hit a tree. The windows shattered and the airbag expanded. Lily saw the two of them unconscious. She felt her face bruised. She groaned. With all her might, she pulled herself out of the wreckage.

"I need to get to Luna..."
