Moonlight Desire

Chapter 4

Lia gazed over at her sleeping husband and got out of bed. She pulled out a piece of paper and began to write a him a note.

Monte,

I love you and I always will, but there is something I must tell you. I have met someone who says he can heal my cancer, but to do so, I must go away for a while. I don't know if I'll even be able to return, but I do know one thing. I'm not ready to die yet. I only have until December 6th. That is the deadline. It's already December 1st and I can't waste any more time. I'm going to go find this person who will heal me and then I will return to you some way. I have no intention of dying on you. Thank you for everything.

Your wife, Lia

She folded the piece of paper and place it on the nightstand beside him. She went over to the door and held her necklace close to her heart and then let go of it. She got dressed for the chilly night weather and started running once she was out the door.

This is so crazy. I'm actually running away to find this alien. For all I know, this could all be a trap and he's really just wants to abduct me to conduct experiments on me. I am dying so it wouldn't matter if I were to go missing one day.

She stopped in her tracks to catch her breath and all her memories came flowing right into her.

What? Why am I remember all of that now? Am I not ready to do this? No! I can't think like this. I have to find him. Even if he's only interested in experimenting on me, it doesn't matter. If I stay here, I'll really die. What if he really can heal my cancer. That is some hope in this and I will risk everything to find that hope.

She started running across town again but was stopped by two drunk men.

"Hey baby," the first guy said. "What's a pretty girl like you doing out here so late?"

Her heart was already beating fast and sweat started to pour down her like crazy. Lia knew exactly what these two men wanted with her.

"I'm married." Those were the first words that popped into her head, but she knew they wouldn't be of any use.

"We don't care if you're married or not," the second guy said. "We just want one thing from you and we're going to get it."

Lia froze in fear and her eyes wailed up with tears.

Help! Someone, please help me! Monte!

The first guy pulled a knife on her, held it against her neck and they both pushed her down to the ground.

"No please," Lia cried. "I have cancer and it's far too cold to be doing this out here."

"Listen here hot stuff," the second guy said. "When I'm finished with you, you'll be begging for more and you'll forget all about your little cancer." He looked over to his buddy. "Hold her down."

"Sure thing."

The second guy pushed her down, resulting in a small scream from Lia. Her arms were held down and she was still struggling to break free from these two men. The second guy pulled her pants down and reached for her.

"Stop," Lia yelled. "Please! I beg you!"

Lia was saved when someone pushed that guy off her at the speed of light. No one could sense or even see what had just happened. She quickly pulled up her pants and attempted to run away but saw a man with long black hair down to his waist. The man turned around and revealed to Lia that it was Kazuki Komatsuzaki, who made it just in time.

"Kazuki," Lia said, as she was so happy to see him.

He smiled at her and she felt at ease now that he was here. She stuck around to see how he would handle the situation.
