Lunar Eclipse

Chapter 11

Luna never thought she would see this kind of behavior coming from a human being.

As they entered through the door, they saw Emma tied to a chair with blood all over her, with her head down.

The killer was doing something on the side.

They came in quietly so the killer didn't see them and continued with his work.

He took a knife, sharpened it and went to Emma. He gently took her hand and started drawing something on her forearm with the knife while laughing. Emma screamed in pain as soon as the knife drew blood from her hand.

Suddenly, Luna and Lucas made themselves known by shooting a bullet through the ceiling.

The murderer snapped his head towards the sound and looked at the ceiling.

"Drop the knife or the next one is going to be inside you" Lucas demanded, pointing the gun towards him.

The murderer lifted his hands up and dropped it.

"Get away from her" Luna added as she started to get closer.

Lucas saw what she was doing and put a hand in front of her to stop her because it was too dangerous. Doing that, he averted his attention from the murderer.

The murderer took that as an opportunity and ran outside. Luckily, Elijah was there to stop him and shot him right in the leg so he couldn't move.

Luna smacked Lucas' arm and sent him a glare. Lucas signaled towards Emma, saying they needed to save her first and fight later.

She ran to Emma and freed her from the chair. Emma started wailing in Luna's arms as Lucas went outside to see what happened.

He saw Elijah putting handcuffs on a very unpleasant looking murderer.

"You shot him?" Lucas asked, surprised.

"Yeah. He would've run away. I shot him in the leg, it's nothing." Elijah said, lifting his shoulders.

Luna took Emma to the hospital to heal her wounds from the lunatic.

Elijah and Lucas took the lunatic to the police hospital to treat the bullet wound and to prevent him from escaping.

"This was one of the most thrilling moments in my life" Luna shouted after they got back to the office.

"Really? Because it was the most stressful for me. How could you get closer to the murderer while the knife was still close to him? Do you have any idea what could've happen to you?" Lucas asked, flustered from the scene.

"I'm sorry Lucas, but I'm a grown ass woman. I can take care of myself. I know what I was doing. This wasn't my first time" she defended herself.

Elijah stood next to them feeling confused as to why would Lucas be so worried for her.

Lucas angrily sighed and got out of the office to clear up his mind.

"What's wrong with him?" Luna rhetorically asked.

Elijah just lifted his shoulders and turned on his desk to check his emails. He was jealous.

 After a while, Matthew entered the office and started clapping with enthusiasm.

"Great job you three!" he shouted standing next to Luna "I'm sure that wasn't easy but it was worth it" he added.

"Yeah, it was" Elijah said, still cranky from earlier.

"Thanks" Luna smiled and looked at her two teammates. She saw that both of them weren't in the mood to celebrate and she didn't know why. She thought that every one after a job well done should feel happy.

"Guys, let's celebrate" she said.

"Not in the mood" Lucas answered and put his head down.

"I can't. I have work" Elijah said, with a serious face.

"Booo! Party poopers" Luna said and turned to Matthew "Come on. We'll go if they don't want to" she said and grabbed him under his arm.

Matthew stuck out his tongue towards the others and went with her.

Lucas and Elijah both stood up and looked at each other, and then looked at Luna and Matthew, sending death glares. While Luna and Matthew were walking out, they followed them to the elevator, feeling left out.

She stopped in front of the elevator, turned around and looked at Lucas "Ohh, so you are in the mood" she turned towards Elijah "and you don't have work, huh?" 

They both felt jealous of Matthew. At least Elijah did.

"I can finish it tomorrow" Elijah said, nonchalantly.

"Suddenly, I am in the mood for parties" Lucas defended himself.

"Okay then, if you both say so" she smirked.

She had all of them wrapped around her finger.
