He's here.
He's right here.
I see him, and my joints begin to turn to jello at the sight of him. He's talking to a red-haired man in such a harsh manner, and he looks like he's lost weight. What happened to him? Why is he looking so unkempt? My heart aches at the sight of seeing such a powerful man so... down.
Hunter sits flush against a wooden pillar, the room he is in looks like an unusual place to have such heated discussion. An open archway reveals stone trimmings and warm lighting and then you have Hunter, looking like he's about to plan someone's funeral.
A man's greasy head peeks around the corner. He's short, almost bald save a few stray hairs on the top of his head and he's wearing thick jewellery. I don't miss the busted lip he has. He smiles wide, "Ciao, penso che ti sei perso." (Hello, I think you've gotten lost.)
Mr Harley's cool demeanour doesn't match my racing heart. Mr Harley speaks to the man, "Eravamo diretti alla cantina. Un cameriere mi ha parlato dei tuoi vini della casa e ci piacerebbe provare." (We were headed for the cellar. A waiter told me about your house wines and we would love to try.)
Oh si. Hai appena chiuso la sala sbagliata, vai da questa parte." (Oh, yes. You just turned down the wrong hall, go this way)" He gestures back where we came from.
Extending his hand, he shakes Mr Harley's. "Marco Flavio."
"Zayn Harley." He smiles at Marco, they're introducing themselves.
wait,
Zayn, Zayn, Zayn..........ZAYN
"Zayn?" He gives me this questioning look.
I take off my mask and I watch his eyes widen in shock.
"Esme, It's you. No wonder you sounded so familiar."
I didn't know what to do. My ex-boyfriend bought me, How am I supposed to face him now?
"Renesmee?"
Oh good, Hunter noticed me too.
"Hunter, you're here"
"What are you doing here?" he asks, while looking from me to Zayn he adds." and who is he?"
"Za-" Zayn cuts me off.
"Zayn, the boyfriend."
I could see the surprise on Hunter's face. Why on earth would Zayn call himself my boyfriend? This was all too much to take in at once.
I decide to speak up. "This is Zayn, My ex-boyfriend before Neo. I don't think I ever mentioned him."
" Yh, ex" I hear Zayn say in a low tone
Hunter moves closer to me and whispers in my ear, "Can I have a word with you alone?"
I nod and tell Zayn to wait for me a the entrance of the hallway. He leaves with Marco.
"Renesmee where have you been? I've searched the world for you. I thought I'd never find you. you left me and now I find you here with some mafia guy calling himself your boyfriend. What's going on. I don't know whether to be angry or sad or hug you and tell you how much I missed you"
I just stare at the floor not knowing what to do, not knowing what to say. yes, I missed him but I don't know why I shouldn't miss him. This is all wrong, I'm trapped.
"Please say something, Renesmee, I beg of you. Tell me how much you missed me and how much you want us again."
I fix my eyes on the floor not wanting to look him in the eye
Everything after that moment seemed to happen in slow motion. I looked up to find Hunter's eyes widen in surprise and he freezes on the spot. All doors slam shut and he visibly turns pale, gulping loudly.
"S-s-t-te-fano." He stutters
Who is this Stefano that Hunter fears so much?
I move close to hunter since this Stefano guy seems quite dangerous.
"I see you have a toy with you, did you bring her for us to share, nephew?"
who's he calling toy? Nephew?
Stefano walks slowly towards us and stands in front of Hunter. I flinched at the terrible sound that the back of his hand did as it made contact with his cheek and gasped when he fell to the ground. I seemed to be frozen on the spot again as he just glared down at Hunter. I couldn't move or push him away. My mind was screaming at me to do it, but it wasn't sending the right signals to my legs so that I could move. I was freaking petrified.
He raised his hand to hit him again but this time my mouth worked, "No, please don't hit him" I have no idea what I'm doing.
"wow, Hunter, I'm impressed. You have a special one here. No wonder you wouldn't share. I like her so I'll take her."
I kneel next to Hunter, trying to snap him out of his daze.
"Hunter," I said softly, cautiously. My heart was beating around a hundred beats per second. I was ready to have a heart attack and die. I could even feel the sweat forming on my forehead. "Hunter," I repeated, "they are going to take me away, answer me. Hunter, please answer me."
Tears began to fall from Hunter's eyes. How is he crying yet he wasn't able to answer me.
I stood up and faced Stefano, "what did you do to him? please what did you do to him?" I begin to break down again. This is all my fault, I did this to him.
Some men stand behind me and place a black cloth over my eye, placing another over my mouth.
Black.
