|LUNA'S POV|

I was in a dark room... tied to a poll with rope. A voice came walking over to me. "Oh finally You decided to wake up... I will admit that I did hit you pretty hard... sorry about that." A scoffed laugh came from his mouth. "Who-." He interrupted, "oh you know who. Don't play dumb Luna."
I sighed "Tanner..." "mhm, but let's talk about something you don't know." He came close into the light. Wearing his usual and grabbing a chair. He straddled the chair backwards and laid his head on his hands with a closed smile, his fingers twitching or better yet stimming.

"What do you want from me?" "I'm just fascinated by you. But I know you would protest going home with me." "Yes I would. But why are you so interested? I don't even know you." He moved his hand up and rested his cheek on it. Tilting his head.
"You're right you don't know me." He stood up and held my chin. "So what's stopping me from killing you?... or better yet what's stopping You leaving?"

'I can't leave because I'm tied up... he hasn't killed me because his interest is peeked. But why Is he asking questions he already knows the answers to?'

I stayed silent. I couldn't find the right words.
"Exactly." "So kill me then. But don't just stand there teasing me." He giggled "Teasing You?" He knelt down to my face "It's too fun to stop." He licked his lips and went in for a bite on my neck.

I woke up screaming again. Still in the same room. I decided that tonight I'm going to leave. I stood up and grabbed my stuff. I looked down and saw that I was still in the shirt, I rolled my eyes and took it off slamming it into the floor. Got changed and left. One of the housekeepers tried to stop me but I just kept going. Once I got outside i noticed that there was a taxi parked to the right. I knocked on the window and asked if they can drop me off at home. They said no because it's their lunch...even though it was night.

'Ugh, the nerve of people.' I walked a few more blocks with my luggage in hand 'should i hitch hag?'
A car was rolling up and i stuck my hand out.
"Good evening child, what are you doing out here?come take a seat." He patted the seat next to him and I sat down. 'If this guy tries Anything I'll will just jump out. Hell I can even pull up his record when i get home.' "Tonight is a, dark, cold, and scary night...so tell me, what are you doing out here...alone?" 'Ok...don't make it obvious your creeped out...just breath.' "I'm just heading home for tonight." "Oh I see." He kept driving and is now picking up speed. There was a bible on the seat in the back. I guess he is very religious or is a father? "So many children have been going missing in this area... so the time had come for me to and You. Are you a god fearing woman?" I thought for a bit "Yes father...he is my only judge." He seemed pleased with the answer, even though I'm not religious I could budge the truth a little to get out of this. Then I heard a silent muffled noises coming from the back and he looked at me and smiled. I smiled back but that worried me 'was there someone in the back?'

"My child Im afraid I haven't asked but...wouldn't your family miss you if they knew you were in this car with a stranger?"

'My family doesn't talk to me often, but he didn't know that.' "Yes, but thanks to you They won't have to worry since i didn't get picked up by a creep."

He nodded and kept driving, the speed was getting more and More fast. "If I may ask, what sins have you committed?" 'Oh god..' my leg started bouncing out of nervousness. "I will tell you if you tell me first.. father." He looked at ease for the moment "I have this itch... and the itch is only satisfied by killing..raping...and torturing the Hera tics of this world. In return god suppresses my itch."He smiled at me and I smiled back cautiously. 'What do I say? Oh lord help.. please don't do anything.'

"However I can tell by your answers that you are not one of the people I seek." He were stopped at a red light and next to the side walk. It was near a store. "Thank you father but you can drop me off here, I need to get some more things for my house."
I nervously said. He seemed to not be bothered and let me get out. "Very well.." I got out and he said while I was walking away "have a nice night my child." I waved and he drove. I tried catching my breath my heart was pounding so fast and once I couldn't see his car anymore I ran to my house. I could only hear my heart. Once I got in I couldn't breath. I reached out to my couch and catching my breath, dropping my luggage. "Oh God! Breath Luna, Breath!" I told myself I got up to the kitchen and got a drink of water. It helped a little but not enough. I went to the bathroom and sat on the floor my back to the one leading to my room.

I started crying 'These damn people.' I know nothing happened but it was all so much to take in. I could've died so many times in the past 2-4 days.

I closed eyes sobbing at what could've happened. All before I could hand in the file. I heard a door open and a I opened my eyes "Drop it, it's only me." It was Tanner and with all the commotion going on in my head I hadn't realized that I grabbed a knife. I dropped it, I was sweating, not dripping, but still sweating. He walked towards me "well someone had an eventful night. And just as I was warming up to you." "How did you know I was coming here?"
"When I got home you weren't there and this is YOUR house so it was simple."

'Why was I asking stupid questions? Maybe because Im in shock?' He stood over me. Looking down at me. Literally and figuratively. I dug my face into my elbows that were on my knees. "Please just leave."
"Oh, so we're playing that game again huh?"
I got up in a swift motion I was going to tackle him
"TANNER JUST LEAVE!" I got on top of him.

He was in shock but laughed out loud. I was angry at this point 'who does this guy think he is?' "Oh my, that was cute, nice try." I slapped him "YOU THINK IM PLAYING? JUST LEAVE ME ALONE YOU PHYSCO." I went to get up but he grabbed my arm to use it to flip me over. Making him on top of me now. He slammed his hands down beside my head using his legs to block my arms to the side of my body. "Judging by the escalated breathing, and the crying I believe you're in hysteria. Also the slap didn't help the little patience I have right now. It was a long day at the lab so i suggest you play nice." His tone was the same of any normal conversation. His smirk was mocking me. "What do you want? Why did you come back?" "Your voice is trembling again. But I can't judge since you always seem to do that around me." He moved closer down. "Is it because I'm someone new? Or because I eat people?"
"Take a guess." He hummed out a hmm.

It was like he was thinking of what else to say.
"Well then. I'll leave." He got up and left while I sat up. I let out a sigh of relief. 'He was finally gone.'
