(Luna's POV)
I couldn't believe it
It was him, it was the man who that gave me a ride, after my dad left me at the police station, all those years ago this man, he was a police man
He was Martin
He had warned me, that Angel would end up hurting me
He told me to stay away from him
It was Martin... Martin who told me that I deserve better than Angel
Martin who was kind
Martin who kept me from the man I loved
"Martin?" I asked
A huge smile creeped onto his face
He walked over to me and rested his hand over me left cheek, caressing my face, with his rough hands
They felt nothing like Angel's hands
Angel's hands were soft and warm, Martin's hands would wrap around mine protectively, with Martin, his James were cold and rough, his touch was possessive and forced
"Come on" Martin smiled, crushing my fingers in his
I whinched, but did as he said
I followed then police man who offered me a warm smile, when I most needed it and was baffled by the thought of this man, leading me who knows where and the man that offered me a ride home, being the same person
All of a sudden, Martin stopped walking
I turned around, looking at the open space around me
Where ever we were, it was beautiful
All around us, there were open windows therefor, I could see all the open land around the home we were in
There was nothing around, but green grass
"Do you like it?" He asked me, coming up from behind me
I stiffened, but nodded
I knew, I shouldn't anger him, so I just played along
"It's gorgeous, it's actually my dream house" I told Martin
"I know" he chuckled, wrapping his arms around my waist
I wanted so badly to shrink into nothingness, rather than be in the arms of a sick deprived man
"Can I ask you something?" I looked up into his brown eyes
He smiled and nodded his head, looking down at me
"Why are you doing this? I mean, why take me from my home? From my family?" I tried asking, without angering him
Martin frowned his eyebrows
"I had to. That evil man was keeping you from me...that man treated you so badly" he told me
"Evil man? What evil man?" I asked him
Martin look down at me and gave me the most innocent look I've ever seen from anyone
He opened his mouth and smiled widely
"Your father of course...but you don't have to worry, he won't ever hurt you again, I promise" he told me, squeezing me in his arms
I stayed silent for a long moment
"My dad...what did you do to him?" I asked silently
"Oh baby, you don't have to worry about him, he is gone. He won't ever hurt you again" he promised me, caressing my face
I started choking up
"Martin, where is my father?" I ask, louder this time
He didn't answer me, all he did was look into my eyes
"Martin, where is my dad!" I yelled
All of a sudden, Martin's large hands, were wrapped around my throat.
He pushed me back, until I was against the wall
"Who the hell do you think you are talking to? I saved you, I took you away from him" Martin growled squeezing my neck
"M-Martin" I squealed, losing all the air I had in my lungs
I was struggling to breathe and the burning sensation in my chest was getting worse
"M-Martin....pl-please!" I clawed at his hands as he stared into my eyes
All of a sudden, he let me go and I dropped down to the ground, gasping for air
I coughed, holding my neck with my hands
"Baby, what happened? Are you alright?" Martin dropped down to the ground, resting the same hands that were previously choking me, over my shoulders
I didn't answer him, all I did was take it in deep breaths what happened? He asked again I coughed, sounding like those people who had been smoking since they were 15... 50 years later and they were still smoking what the hell have I gotten myself into?
After I relax, I looked at that Martin without thinking, I place my hand over his cheek and moved my position, so that I was sitting on my knees Martin... Where is my dad? I asked, moving closer to him your dad? He is here... Downstairs he told me, looking into my eyes here? But you said I started what did I say? He asked, obviously confused
I shook my head, resting my hand on his chest can I see him? I asked Martin stiffened know! He out a jump back, letting go of him
"B-babe...please?" I asked, shuffling over to him
Martin closed his eyes
"Say that again?" He asked, breathing in
It took me a moment, but I understood what he meant
I lowered my voice and tried to make my words come out like a purring sound
"Babe...please?" I asked again
Martin slowly opened his eyes and grabbed my waist
"Come with me" he said, grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the empty room
We walked down the bear hallway and down a flight of stairs, towards a locked door
Martin brought my hand up to his lips and kissed my knuckles softly
"Go on" he told me, unlocking the door
I slowly walked up to the wooden door and took a step inside
All the lights were turned off
I instantly covered my nose and mouth, there was a horrible smell in the distance, I could hear the soft groaning of a man
I want deeper into the room and couldn't believe my eyes
There was my father, tied to a wooden chair. His head hung low
"Dad?" I asked, taking a step closer to him
His eyes were closed and his breathing was shallow
"Daddy?" I asked, tearing up
His shirt was off his body was covered in brown substance, along with redlines... It was blood. I could see small scrapes on his body, as if he had been dragged through mud or dirt Luna? He asked, trying to open his swollen eyes
"Yeah, it's me" I told him, setting my hands over his hands, which were freezing cold
Even in the dark, I could see his bleeding wrists
He was bound to a mixture of ropes and chains.
His fingers had gone purple
"Oh God" I whispered, touching his dirty face
"What the hell is going on? Why are we here?" He asked, coughing at the end of his sentence
"I don't know dad, I don't know" which wasn't a complete lie
I had no idea, why Martin was really doing this. It didn't make sense
"Since when have we been here?" My dad asked me
"I'm not sure...but we will both get out of here soon, I promise" as a finish speaking, the doors opened
Martin walked in, stomping over to me and grabbing my arm
"It's time to go" he mumbled, pulling up to my feet
"Don't touch her, you son of a bitch! Let my daughter go!" Dad yelled, struggling against the metal, that bound him
Instead of saying anything, Martin walked over to my dad, dragging me along with him, and punched him in the face
"No!" I yelled, throwing myself over my fathers injured body
I looked up, to find Martin scolding down at me
"Get up!" Martin yelled at me
"Martin, please" I said, looking up at the tall man infront of me
"Luna!" He shouted, his voice booming
I jumped, but didn't let go of my dad's limp body
Martin reach down and grabbed my arm, hard enough that I was sure there would be a bruise afterwords
He yanked me roughly, pulling me off of my dad and push me out of the room
"Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna! LUNA!" I heard my father's panicked voice, slowly fading away
"Keep walking!" Martin grumbled
I did as I was told and then all of a sudden came to a stop
"I said, keep walking!" He shouted, grabbing my wrists
I didn't move... I stayed still, looking down at the floor
"Do you love me?" I asked
I didn't know what I was doing, he had done what I asked before, by just touching his face. Maybe this would work, maybe I would get what I wanted. Or maybe I would end up just like my dad
Martin loosened his grip on me
"What?" He asked me
"Are you in love with me?" I asked, still looking down at the floor
Martin didn't respond right away, instead he grabbed my chin and looked into my eyes
"Of course I'm in love with you" his voice soft and quiet "why would I be doing this if I didn't love you? I'm trying to do is protect you"
"Then why do you keep on hurting me?" I asked him
Martin opened his mouth, but closed it, soon after
"Baby...i don't want to hurt you, I just want you to listen to me" he told me, caressing my fave, with his thumb
I felt sick
"Then let me go" I told him
His features harden, his shoulder stiffened, and his back straightened up
"No! If I let you go, you will go back to...him" Martin growled
"Who?" I asked, knowing his was talking about Angel
"That...that...that...peice of shit, that cheated on you!" He growled
"Martin, you love me, that means you need to trust me. I won't go back to anyone, it's just you and me...forever" I promised
"Forever?" He asked me
I smiled and nodded
"Forever" I nodded "all you have to do is let me outside...just for a little bit of air" I told him
I had previously seen all of the land, but we couldn't be in the middle of nowhere. There had to be something, some store, gas station, something
It couldn't just be me, Martin, and my dad. There had to be more. I needed there to be more, otherwise, I was stuck with nowhere to go, nowhere to escape, no one to help me
"Okay, but just outside...okay?" He asked
I'm not in my head and smiled
It took all the strength that I had, but I reached over and grabbed his hand with mine. Interlocking our fingers together
Everything that I would do next, was for Angel... Only for him. I needed to get back, he was my home, my constant, my everything
