Most of the day has passed since breakfast. Luke had locked Luna in the room she had woken up in, against her will. She fought and clawed at him, even begged, all so he wouldn't lock her in. She feared being locked in rooms by herself. She has feared it ever since she was five years old. Luna tried to take her mind off of the locked door by watching television or reading a book, but nothing worked. Luna even tried to break it down by kicking and pounding on it.

Eventually, she started screaming and pounding even harder. When the door didn't bust, she turned around and sat down with her back against it and cried. She brought her knees up to her chest and just cried. Violent sobs, that broke people's hearts when heard, poured out of her, as she remembered her dark past.

"Mom," a little girl said. "Mom? MOMMY LET ME OUT!" Suddenly a door opened and in came a man.

"Daddy?" She asked. "What are you doing here? Where's mommy?"

The little girl's father gave off this evil and malicious grin, as he proclaimed, "Mommy isn't here. She took some money and left to whore around with some guy. Besides, she never loved you, not like I do."

The little girl walked backwards slowly, stumbling over her own two feet and falling onto her knees, to the floor. She stared up at her dad as he walked closer to her, step by step. He picked the little girl up and laid her onto the bed. He grabbed a bottle of pills from a pocket hidden inside his jacket and handed it to the girl.

"Come now, Luna. You know what time it is. It's daddy's playtime, so you have to go to bed. Take the pill Daddy gave you,"  the man said, softly, as he handed her a glass of water.

Luna refused to take the pill. She shook her head violently as she said, "I don't want it. It makes me feel weird."

Her father grabbed her by the neck and impatiently said, "You will take the pill, Luna. I don't give a shit about how it makes you feel." He squeezed her cheeks together and popped the pill into her open mouth. Softly, he spoke, "Drink some water, Luna. Don't you want to make Daddy happy?"

Shaking, Luna grabbed the glass and took a sip. The pill slid down her throat. She lay down on her back and her eyes began to feel droopy

Sleepily, Luna agreed, "O-Of course ,Daddy."  Her eyes slowly drooped shut, with the blurry image of her father pulling down his pants being the last thing she saw. 

Sweat dripped down Luna's back as she quickly jerked awake. She leaned over and immediately started vomiting. When she finished, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and put her head back against the door.

"It was only a dream, Luna," she said to herself in a calming voice. "It was just a dream."

Suddenly, Luna felt something pushing her. She realized it was the door opening and she moved away from it, startled. In walked Luke, as he busted through the door. He looked around and saw Luna on the floor, puffy-eyed from crying.

"Get up," he commanded. "Go take a shower, you stink." Luna didn't move. "I said take a shower. Now!" Nothing. She just stared at him in disbelief.

Luke walked over to her and grabbed her by the hair. She screamed, but he clearly didn't care. Instead, he felt slightly aroused. He dragged Luna to the bathroom, tightening his grip on her, as she tried to free herself. She failed.

When they went into the bathroom, Luke turned on the water. He felt it to make sure it wasn't too hot nor too cold. He then ripped the skimpy, black dress off of Luna's frail body.

"Take a shower or a bath, I don't care. Just get washed up. You smell like a horse's ass." Without another word, he walked towards the door and out of the bathroom, locking it behind him.

Luna was still shaking from her dream and being dragged by her hair. She could still feel where he grabbed her, and she ached all over.

"Fuck, that hurt like hell." She muttered under her breath. "Maybe a shower will make me feel a bit better though and I do smell."

Luna began looking around the bathroom, before getting into the shower. The walls were an olive green with white trimming. The sink, tub, and toilet were a porcelain white as well. She found the medicine cabinet, above the sink, and decided to open it. In the cabinet, she saw a tube of toothpaste, some Advil, other type of pills, and razors. She grabbed one of the prescription bottles and examined it. It was a bottle of Xanax. She opened the lid and took a couple before screwing it shut and placing it back in the cabinet. Then, she grabbed one of the razors and closed the cabinet, as she stared at herself in the mirror. There was makeup all over her face and her eyes appeared to be swollen from crying. She instantly looked away from her reflection and looked at the razor. She felt the metal pieces press against her thumb, as she tested it's sharpness. Smirking slightly, Luna got into the shower to wash up. 

"I just want all of this to be over," she whispered to herself. "I just want to go home and spend time with my boyfriend and cats."

Oops. I feel like it's a bit lengthy again. All my chapters will probably be under 1000 words though.

Also, I don't know how brutal or triggering this story will become, so be prepared.
