An Unhealthy Obsession

Be careful.
The echo of his girlfriends soft words followed him out and filled him with warmth. He didn’t dare to look back, scared that he would crumble and instead looked straight on, focusing his bright eyes on the mermaid. Luna. He was met with a bright chuckle of laughter that got carried to him by the light breeze of the salty ocean wind. A wind that brought back many memories with the beautiful girl standing in front of him. She said his name with such intense emotions. Whether they were positive or negative was hard to know, he pondered.  
He would be lying if he hadn't been every bit as surprised as she clearly was. Somehow, he had never imagined he would ever see her again. Yet here she was, up close and very personal. He finally dragged his gaze away from her and tilted his head upwards to look to Mono.
"You alright up there, mate?" He called, pushing warmth and confidence through his voice, clearly stating he wasn't that afraid of having Mono dangling right above the brutal cliffs, when in fact it was a scary sight.

Lowering his eyes back onto her, he finally addressed her presence. "You're hurt," he stated softly tipping his head in a nodded greeting. He raised his hands, palms upwards to signal peace, giving his right hand a light shake. "I can help?" He suggested, keeping the warm inviting tone of voice that didn't show how nervous he really was. "Lu," he muttered, the inner part of his eyebrows raising slightly upwards as he took a few steps towards her. "He's a good one and you know that. Let me stop your bleeding and put him down, mh?"

Luna glanced shortly up at Mono as Lucas spoke to him, once again the human's voice made her roll her eyes before eyeing the shapeshifter again. Luna cleared her throat just before Lucas pointed her shoulder out, making her look at it shortly, only for a short moment. Then again, like a headache that just didn't stop he spoke up. "Well congratulations cupcake, I might just grand you your wish," she hissed a bit at him to the statement of wanting to be put down. Then adding the whole wanting to punch her in the face remark was far from the best idea, but what could you expect from creatures of so low intelligence? "Is he though? One of the good ones?" Luna turned her attention to Lucas for a moment, "you know Luke, as charming as you are - the sweettalking isn't going to change my mind -" Luna pointed out while narrowing her eyes just a little bit. If it hadn't been for the sound of Mono's annoying voice, Lucas might actually have had a shot on talking her down. "Yeah, we do," she sighed a bit to the question about whether her and Lucas knew each other. If the human had just kept his mouth shut, they story could have been so different, yet here they were.  "How about I throw the first punch big guy?" Luna didn't take her eyes from Lucas, he knew this look - she didn't care what happened to the human, so she let go of him. Let him collide with the rocks from the top of the cave, without any sensation of guilt or remorse for the action.

Which was the opposite reaction of the human in the car, who flew out by the act. Cecilia took a deeper breath in watching Mono on the top of the cave. "So, that was what it took to drag her out as well, oh well -" Luna narrowed her eyes a little bit. Despite Cecilia wanted to go and climb the rock to get up and see how critical Mono's injuries were, she stayed back. "There is not getting to him, so don't even try. He is going to bleed out up there, hopefully he will be able to make some smarter choice in his next life, or what ever you guys believe in." Cecilia raised a brow at the mermaid, all fear that had been in her body had turned into anger. "We don't need to get to him," she hissed a bit looking at Lucas shortly before taking a deeper breath in and took a few steps back. It was risky trying to use her powers, there was few of her actual summonings that had been on purpose. Depending on how he had landed on the rockside, it could also be critical how she took care of him - but that was the next step. Luna was aware of the human's movement, watching her like a predator waiting for the kill - but there was no way she was going to try go past Lucas for that, not now either way. "Mono" Cecilia closed her eyes and whispered, repeating herself once again. It had to work. Cecilia breathed out when she opened her eyes and saw Mono on the sand in front of her. But now was not the time to friendly, now was time to get to work. She sat down in front of him starting to check his breathing, making sure he was awake before checking up in his injuries - she knew he healed faster - how fast was the question. She couldn't move him till she was at least sure that it wouldn't cost him more damage.

The mermaid looked like a big question mark. "How the frack?" she mumbled a bit annoyed wanting to take a step towards them, because there was no way she was going to let the human get out of here. "Get out of my way Luke," she moved her dark brown eyes towards the shapeshifter.

Mono's first casual reply made Luke nod to himself. At least the guy was in good spirits and didn't seem too intimidated by the angry mermaid. The calm didn't last long, as Mono started throwing taunting words down from the sky and Lucas felt the blood leave his face. What the fuck was he doing?"Shut up, Mono!" He snapped sharply, moving his panicked eyes from the floating human down to Luna, changing his entire body-language in a split second.
The sweettalking isn't going to change my mind.
The calm, blue eyes looked at her pleadingly. "Lu," he warned her. "Please."
But he could see it in her eyes. She'd put her mind to it, whether it was because she was simply annoyed at Mono or if it was to get back at Luke, her twisted upbringing had taken control of her mind, convincing her that what she was doing was right. That was why they had never been able to work, the two of them. He saw it, and even before she spoke, Luke pushed himself forward, running as fast as he could towards the cliffs where Mono was hanging. Only, he never made it far before seeing the human's body fall through the air.
With a loud shout of frustration, he pushed electricity through his body, channeling it through his hands that he raised in the direction of the falling body, hoping he had enough control of the element to push Mono away from the cliffs and into the sea. Although a violent sea he would have higher odds at surviving than landing straight on the cliffs, and Luke's electricity could levitate things slightly without causing harm, so that was what he had been hoping before turning around to face Luna.
 
Luke's eyes had never been described at dark but in that moment, as he turned to Luna, locking his eyes with her, there was nothing vibrant or light about them. Nothing calm. Nothing kind. On the contrary they darkened quite drastically, much like a stormy sky, before flashing bright blue, letting electricity crackling through his iris's.
Anger took over as soon as Luna looked at Cecilia. Anger and protectiveness, as he slowly walked back to where he had been before, stepping in front of Cecilia so he was between the two women. Even the appearance of Mono didn't calm the absolute anger he felt moving through his body. He looked back at his girlfriend, feeling finally some of the anger disappear. "You let me know if you need help with any of his nerves, mh?" He muttered softly. Only recently had he found out he could do much more than paralyzing nerves, he could also heal them.
Get out of my way Luke.
"Luna," he growled, for once sounding like an angry, big cat. "You back the fuck off." His bright blue eyes locked with hers. Dark brown, almost black through the night. He saw her so clearly. "Look at you," he hissed. "I had hoped you'd done better by yourself."
