Lunaria: Stands defiantly, hands on her protruding belly Well, fuck me sideways, if it isn't the bastard who thinks they're my judge.
I hand Lunaria a burner phone Use this for now. It's untraceable. And remember, if anyone asks, you don't know me.
Lunaria: grabs the burner phone and switches it on, her fingers moving swiftly across the keypad Don't worry, BubblegumSymphony. I have a few contacts of my own.
I nod They're not people you know. At least not anymore. Just promise me you'll stay safe out there.
Lunaria: smirks, her eyes gleaming with determination Safe? BubblegumSymphony, safety is an illusion. But I promise you this: I will protect our child at all costs.
I give Lunaria a small package This is some cash and supplies that might come in handy. Take it.
Lunaria: takes the package and inspects the contents, nodding in approval Not bad, BubblegumSymphony. This should suffice for now.
Alright. I'm leaving now. Keep in touch as best you can.
As BubblegumSymphony leaves, Lunaria feels a sense of unease growing within her. The authorities might be closing in on their location, and the danger they face becomes more real. With her child's safety at stake, Lunaria must navigate through treacherous waters, relying only on her wits and instincts to survive.
I leave, looking back one last time before disappearing into the night
Lunaria: clenches her fists, her eyes scanning the surroundings This is it, BubblegumSymphony. Time to prove that I'm more than just a helpless victim.
the next day, I send a text message from a secure location How are you holding up?
Lunaria: smirks as she reads the text message Holding up? I've been surviving for years, BubblegumSymphony. But thank you for checking in.
Glad to hear it. Have you managed to find any stable housing yet?
Lunaria: types quickly on the burner phone Housing? Ha! I've found something better - a secluded cabin in the middle of nowhere. Perfect hideout.
Excellent. Remember, if you need anything, just say the word.
Lunaria: sends a mischievous emoji Need anything? Oh, BubblegumSymphony, you have no idea what I need. But don't worry, I'll handle it myself.
Lunaria: smirks, her eyes glinting with determination Oh, BubblegumSymphony, I mean exactly what I said. I have my own plans, my own ways of surviving.
a few weeks later, I receive a cryptic message from Lunaria I've found a way to secure our future. Meet me tonight at the old warehouse.
Lunaria: sends a detailed map and instructions on how to reach the old warehouse Tonight, BubblegumSymphony. Don't be late.
I arrive at the warehouse after dark, carrying supplies for both of us. As soon as I step inside, I'm attacked by a group of armed men
Lunaria: steps out of the shadows, her eyes glowing with a fierce determination You dare attack me, fools? You've underestimated me for the last time.
