Subduction

Chapter 3

The sun peered through my curtains as the warming light hit my face, waking me up. I stretched out and looked to my side to find a peacefully sleeping Luke. His face is almost hidden in the duvet. He looks so peaceful. Like there's no worries or problems in the world. His eyelids are glued together but they fluttered open as if he could sense me looking at him. He looked at me and smiled. "Good morning, princess" he wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close. "Good morning, handsome" I answered back making him giggle. "So what are we gonna do today?" I asked intertwining out fingers. "Uhm.." Luke trailed off and thought about the question. "We could just drive around and maybe I don't know.. Order McDonalds?" Luke looked at me with puppy eyes. I laughed at his cuteness and rolled myself on top of his chest. "I'd love that" I said and kissed his lips lovingly.

It was late at night and Luke and I went to McDonalds to get food. We've been driving around town all day practically doing nothing. But nothing is everything as long as you're doing it with the person you love the most. We walked into the restaurant and it in line. The line wasn't that long because it was very late at night, almost closing time. We ordered two burgers, some fries and an ice cream to share. Luke paid and we walked out and heading to the car. I noticed a group of five guys hanging behind the restaurant. They did not look friendly. At all to be honest. One of the guys made eye contact with me and I just quickly looked away. Luke didn't seem to notice the guys but for some reason I could sense Luke being uncomfortable. The guy that looked at me seem awfully familiar.

"Hey hey hey. Who do we have here?" The guy I made eye contact with came closer to me and Luke. The rest of the gang followed up closely. Luke turned around and for a split second I saw something that I haven't seen in Luke's eyes for quite a while. Fear. And not just any fear. He was terrified. Scared to death. He became tense and unnoticeably pushed me gently behind his back. "Luke" the guy took a step closer towards Luke. "Damon" Luke said through gritted teeth. "Ah so you do remember me" Damon smirked. "Who's that hottie standing behind you?" Damon looked at me and winked causing Luke to flex his muscles as if he was ready to kick his ass any moment. "Don't you dare take a step closer to her" Luke almost spat out his words. "Easy man" Damon held up his hands in surrender. "I actually came here to talk to you" Damon said and his gang took a step closer almost surrounding me and Luke. "Stay close" Luke whispered to me and took my hand. Damon heard him. "Aww that won't be needed. We want you" Damon laughed and signaled to the rest of the guys to do something. They caught Luke off guard and grabbed him. They dragged him away from me. I screamed after them but one of the guys held me back by holding me tight to his body. Luke tried everything he could but it was no use. They were too many. A guy kicked him in the stomach causing Luke to crash to his knees. Two guys kept his arms to the side to prevent him to fight back. Tears rolled down my cheeks and my screams were ear-piercing. Damon punched Luke in the face pretty hard making Luke spit out blood. A lot more punches and kicks and Luke became unconscious. They threw him on the ground and came towards me. Damon smirked and pulled me close. Our noses were almost touching. "Hmm let's see what we can do to you, shall we?"
