The Moon Goddess Missionary

Chapter 2

As the days dragged on I loved Shelly more and more.

We talked and took naps for most of the day, seeing as there was nothing else to do. It has been a week since Shelly got here and they hadn't bothered us but to give us our small two meals a day.

They weren't  sexual like you think they would be all these years, they just enjoyed my pain.
They would punch me, slap me, kick me, and one memorable time they almost killed me with a stab from a dull knife.

I didn't  want to scare Shelly though so I said not to worry every time that she asked.

I had decided to give her not only my breakfast, but my lunch and dinner too. It was easy to pull it off, the entire room was empty but for us and the blanket.

The walls were once white, but were now brown as a result of cleaning abuse. There was a makeshift bathroom in the corner made from thin slats of wood. Though it was stocked with normal toiletries, it was cramped and barely earned the title bathroom.

Whenever Shelly went to use the bathroom in the afternoon I switched the food from my plate to hers and then acted as if nothing had happened. I did the same at dinner, waking her up from her nap only after I had switched the food from my plate to hers.

I am going to get her out of here if my life depends on it.....which I guess it kind of does. I am brought crashing back down to reality as I felt Shelly shiver in my lap.

This reminded me that I had to hurry and get her out of here before she caught something, and was to sick to leave.

I pulled her closer, slowly leaning back so she could use me as a bed yet again. I pulled the blanket over her trying to keep her warm.

Then, I heard a sudden tapping sound like someone was tapping on a window........but there was no window in here?

I slowly moved out from under Shelly as I followed the small tap, putting her under the blanket.

I walked up to the wall with a crack from the water that ran down during storms. It was just wide enough for me to peek out and see the moon. Though I had only assumed that it was water that made the crack.

I pressed the wall right where I heard the tap, it suddenly gave way to reveal a window.

I looked through the window into the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen, they were green edged with flecks of gold. The eyes belonged to the most handsome boy I had ever seen, he was tall and well muscled with hair the exact same color as Shelly's.

His face was perfect with a big nose and small thin, yet defined lips with high cheek bones. As I stared at him he whispered something through the window. I have no idea what he said, but the look he sent my way sent butterflies through my stomach and a shiver down my spine.

Then I remembered the situation I was in, I quickly rolled up the window and (recognizing the hair) asked,

" Are you Shelly's older brother?"

He looked at me with hope glinting in his eyes.

"Yes, is she okay?  Where is she?!?"

He practically yelled, and as I gazed into his eyes his concern was evident. I smiled, and went back inside. I sprinted to Shelly's side.

" Wake up sunshine, your brother is here to get you!!"

She sat up quickly and said

"WHERE!!"

I  smiled at her enthusiasm, and pointed to where I had found the window in the wall. She sprinted to it faster than even I had moved.

Then she was gone and out the window. Me, relieved I had saved her, curled up and tried to sleep. When I was almost asleep I heard noises coming from the window as Shelly stuck her head through the window.

"Are you coming?"

I looked at her shocked. "Well, not really. I'm to weak, I would just slow you down and make it so that you get caught."

Her face turned red and she glared at me her eyes getting darker until they were almost black.

"GET YOUR BUT OUT HERE BEFORE I COME IN THERE AND DRAG YOU OUT DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!! "

I looked at her slightly exasperated, then explained myself gently.

"I can't sweety, if I do I will endanger you and your brother. I just cant do that to you."

Suddenly her head was gone and her brother popped through the window and into the room. As his eyes landed on me they filled with tears, then grew hard as he came over and lifted me up. I was to weak to protest, and it felt so right to be in his arms.

Then he carried me to the window were he slowly slid me out to his sister who grabbed my waist and gasped. Not eating had taken it's toll on me, I had worn my shirt ever since I had started giving her my food so she wouldn't see the difference.

As she braced me, she asked, " Why are you thinner than when we first met? How?  You ate just as much as me!!!!!"

I avoided looking at her as her brother jumped down then pulled me back into his arms, treating me like a china doll. He looked down at me with complete love and tenderness.

I smiled at him, hoping that they had made the right choice in taking me. I looked at him remembering that I never got his name, it had never come up.

" Whats your name?", I asked.

He gazed intently into my eyes and replied, "David."

His voice was deep and dark, like chocolate, and his name curled my toes.

Then suddenly, my senses heightened and, I knew that we were in danger.

With the heightened senses, only now had I realized I felt small tingles wherever my skin touched his. I also smelled this amazing smell, like my grandmas coffee in the morning and the detergent she used to use on her clothes. I snuggled into him, then remembered the danger.

" They're close, if you see one one with a scar on his right eye, he knows how to use a knife. The others are all hands on but really strong. They all know how to put you in immediate pain!"

I whispered urrgently to their alarmed faces.

"There is just this dangerous feeling in the air that I only get when they are close to me." I said, the pain of their torture forever etched in my mind.

They looked at me thoughtfully, and after a short conversation, decided that for now we should just take the straightest path to Davids car.

When we finally got there, Shelly hopped in and he placed me laying in the back seat with my head on Shelly's lap.
He got in the front and turned it on, but right as we were pulling onto the road, these mangy wolves jump out of the woods and try to bite the cars tires.

David swerves hitting the wolfs, and then as we broke through the trees I knew............... we were finally free.

As I laid on the car seat (omfiest thing I have slept on in five years), I began to drift off to sleep. David began to lean back.

He whispered, "Sleep well beautiful, I'll be there forever when you wake up."
