Gotta go fast

Chapter 7

She woke from the blackness he eyes slowly opening. The light blinded her slightly from its intensity after being unconscious for a period of time. She had remembered feeling scared as she had not noticed that there was someone behind her. For a person living a decent distance from the rest of the population in Nevada she had a fair few visits from people. Well she had to admit she had had a lot more company since Knock Out had come in to her life. She didn't count her unfortunate experience with the guys because she always knew that it would happen sooner or later but she had always found a way to avoid it. Perhaps it was her attitude towards them since Knock Out came that really pushed their buttons that lead to what they did. Even so it was done now.

Why hadn't she called the cops? A fair question considering that she should have and it would make her feel a lot better knowing that they were paying for the crimes against her but for some reason she couldn't. She didn't have the stomach to call them because if she did they would ask her exactly what happened and that was painful. Not to mention how was she going to explain the events that occurred around her alien friend. Knock Out.

She suddenly remembered that it was him that she had screamed at when he got her attention and his face at the time showed that she had scared him too with her reaction. The fact that she screamed must have surprised him. It was ironic that when she first met him properly she didn't run, didn't scream, and didn't flinch. But now she had for all the wrong reasons. She lifted herself up from where she was lying.

She figured she wasn't on the floor she was lying on because it was too soft and comfortable, it was her bed. No her bed was way more comfortable than this. Her vision cleared as they compensated for the light. She groaned as her stomach throbbed from the intense bruise that ran around her not to mention her wound from when she was stabbed. She sat up and rubbed her head before she laid eyes on the red mech that was standing in her garage looking back at her, his arms were folded across his chest. He must have moved her from the floor when she fainted to the couch while she lay unconscious. Wait...Couch!

Luna widened her eyes as she jumped up and backed away from the couch. She didn't want to re-live it again. Where it had happened. Without even thinking she decided quickly that she had to burn her couch along with her clothes that she had worn that day, they were still in a pile in her bathroom. She didn't care about them, she could always buy more and a new couch.

"Luna" her attention turned to him as he had a half worried and half smug look on his face. How she missed that face. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" she smiled at him but she could tell that he could see right through that smile. She wasn't happy at all. "If your fine then why did you scream and try to get away from me?"

Her eyes wondered as he spoke an answer slowly concocting in her brain "You just scared me, I didn't hear you coming. For all I knew you were a strange guy in my home"

"Well I'm definitely a strange alien in your home but you were squirming away even after you saw me" She had no reply to him. What did he expect? He had been gone for just over a week with no messages to let her know he was fine. She figured if she just shrugged him off then she's be fine. He wasn't here so he didn't know. He didn't have to know. "What's wrong with your couch?"

"Nothing. I was...just getting...cramps"

The medic leaned on his left side as he listened to her excuse. Yeah she was trying to avoid something. "So you want to tell me what happened here?"

"You want to tell me what happened to you?" He frowned at her. Fair enough she had the right to be angry but from what he could see as his optics scanned the building, well what he could see there was no way he could get up into her bedroom and bathroom, something had gone down that meant for the place to a complete mess.
