WHEN THE RAIN STOPS- Scrutinized [TANNER x LUNA] 2 IN 1

Night Intruder

|LUNA|

I woke up in my room, the air was cold and stale but oddly smelt like cologne. I looked over to find no one. Annoyed, I uncovered myself and saw I was still in my clothes from the night before. I stretched, hoping it would help my agitated mood, when I found the file on my dresser. That's when it all hit me, the memories from last night. I felt chill run up my spine.

Then, I carefully read through it. It all added up, the time, the place, hell, even the motive. His parents were killed by reckless cops in a car accident. I was so happy. Finally Sarah could Rest In Peace. I sighed. Looking down to the floor in thought. 'I'm so sorry you had to wait this long.' I sighed, looking towards my window. 'But at least now, I got em.' I smiled, cheering up while I put on some jeans and a sweater. Once I was done I grabbed the file and headed out the door. I unlocked my car and and placed the file next to me while I drove to the station. Once I was there I ran to my boss's office. I slammed the file on his desk "Boss! I GOT HIM! I GOT THE BASTARD!" He was surprised. "Calm down! What do you mean Youngman-." While looking through the file his eyes widened and a smile crept on his face. "Oh my god.." he looked at me and cleared his throat. "I will have to look over this more. Thank you." As I went to leave he stopped me with 3 more words. "Good work Luna." That made my day. I smiled and he let me off work early.

I got to the parking garage and understandably no one was there. My heeled boots echoing in the garage as I walked to my car. When I opened it I heard a laugh... almost a giggle. I looked around frantically to see where it came from and I saw Tanner...peeking at me from the stairs. I got in my car, locked the doors and drove away. Surely he can't follow me on foot. But he knows where I live.. "Damn It." I got home and opened my door to start packing to leave. I got a weeks worth of clothes and stuffed it in a suitcase. Once I did that I grabbed my hygiene stuff and my laptop for work. I rolled the suitcase out of the house and packed it in the trunk.

When I closed the trunk I got a call from an unknown number. "Hello?" "Don't tell me you're leaving..Luna." My eyes widened and I looked to see where he was. I couldn't find him anywhere. "What do you want from me? You already gave me the file so what?" He chuckled "I'm just having fun." He hung up and I got in my car. I kept looking in the back of me to make sure no one was following me.

When I got to the motel I signed in and went to my room with my luggage in hand. It was like any other motel. 2 beds, a table next to the Tv, and a small seating area in front of the window next to the first bed. With a bathroom on the side. I put my laptop on the table and got my clothes to take a shower before working. Once I got out of the shower I started on more reports. It was the least I could do on my day off. I finished my quota pretty quickly, I sighed, "I can finally go to bed early for once." I shut my laptop and turned off the lights. The darkness consuming me as I got under the covers and fell asleep.

I woke up coughing. I could smell cigarette smoke, and when I looked up a man was sitting in front of me in the little seating area. He was smoking, dumping the ashes in a ash tray on the night stand. "Goood morning!" I stayed in place, frozen. "Wh-who a-." "Oh Luna don't play dumb." He stood up and walked towards me. I shoved the sheets out of the way and got ready to run. But he grabbed my wrist in the middle of it and yanked me towards him. He grabbed the other one too and put them both behind my back, for that I was leaning on his chest.

I struggled, trying to get my hands out. My feet making friction to the bed as I squirmed. Out of no where there was a knife to my throat. I stopped squirming and looked up at him, my head almost reaching his shoulder. I was breathing heavily, "are you going to k-kill me?" I started tearing up. "No, believe it or not I don't have any intention of harming you." A sharp exhale of disbelief left my mouth. "Then why do you have a knife?!" "Oh this? It's just a precaution if any unwanted guests came in. He dropped the knife on the bed, and in the one moment his grip loosened. I went for it I was half way off the bed when a hand wrapped around my throat and threw me back onto the bed. He was choking me while I tried scratching his hand away.

"That wasn't very nice Luna, I thought you would be more polite to your guests." My legs were thrashing, but he liked the struggle... I couldn't get the hands off by scratching so I reached for his face. I touched the side of it, his skin was smooth. He smirked and let go. I shot up, putting my head on his shoulder, using him for balance. I was coughing and trying to get air down my throat. I was light headed, so I just sat there for a minute wheezing. "What do you want?.." my voice was raspy. "I already said what.."

His voice was slightly muffled with the familiar hissing sound of the syringe. "I just want to have fun with you." I fell back onto the mattress, his smirk irritating me more and more as the room turned black.

She fell back, her eyes slowly shutting down. There was a bruise around her neck but I quiet liked seeing it. Once she was out I hopped of the bed and picked her up. It felt just like the night I kidnapped her. I smiled with the fond memory. Her perfume smelt nice. A bit like Autumn. I plopped her down onto the pillow as she sunk into it. It was cold so I covered her with the blanket.

And I looked the door on my way out. I'm not really the type to play with someone who is asleep. So I had no reason to stay there. I got into my car and started to head home for the night. I lived in a townhouse in the city. It was like an apartment but I owned the lobby too. I didn't want any pesky neighbors.
I got out and unlocked the door. No one was home, which is a good thing since I live alone but sometimes my parents come to visit without telling me. I went up to the 2nd floor and got into the apartment, heading straight to my room to sleep for the night. I got undress and slept in boxers. As I was falling asleep all I could think about was how her body was laid out on the bed, and the struggle she put on for me.
