(continued from the original story)
Victor doesn't say anything at first
Victor: You know that you didn't have to go through that to prove your point, you could have just killed him when you were alone
Huguel : that is true but I wanted you to see that he was a threat
Victor sighs
Victor: Do you even care at all how we feel?
Huguel: Of course not
A small silence comes upon them, Victor sighs and rubs a hand over his tired eyes.
After a short period of silence Victor decides to break it by standing up
Victor: we're heading out today, you better be prepared
Huguel nods and takes his jacket off the chair
Victor: where are we going?
Huguel: We're going hunting.
Victor: Hunting, you mean hunting
Huguel: Yes, and we aren't allowed outside during daytime
Victor sighs and runs a frustrated hand through his brown hair
Victor: fine, we'll go outside for a little bit then
They both walk out of the house and into the living room, they watch as Nina gets ready to go.
Nina: Where are you guys gonna be at today? Will you be back tonight?
Victor and Hugo: Not exactly...you see, we haven't eaten all day and we're kind of running low on supplies, so we decided to go hunting with a group to replenish our stores. We will probably be back by tomorrow evening, hopefully.
Nina: Oh okay! If you need any more help I'll gladly lend you some
Huguel nods silently
Huguel: thank you Nina, we appreciate it. But anyway, we should get going before your mom starts worrying
Nina smiles happily at her brother, and gives them both hugs
Huguel looks at Nina sadly. She seemed like she was trying hard to be strong and brave, but he knew that deep inside she was terrified. When she finally releases them and goes back upstairs Victor walks over to him, leaning against the kitchen countertop
Victor: so? Are you going to shoot me, or what?
Huguel: No
Victor's brow furrowed
Victor: Then what do you want?
Huguel: Yuri's dead, we should be free of him, but we can't just forget all about what he did and what he tried to do, he had a reason to do the things that he did, we can't just ignore that.
Victor'
s face darkened
Victor: and what exactly makes you think that it's your duty to decide who gets to live, or dies, and what happens afterwards? I told you, there's nothing that I won't forgive
Huguel glares at Victor angrily
Huguel: You think I wouldn't love it if he didn't exist! That he didn't exist was a choice that I had to make. I made the right decision
Victor: And you think I did, huh? Well what do I have to do to earn forgiveness from you?
Huguel: Let me explain something to you
Huguel turns around to face Victor
Huguel: I made a sacrifice, I sacrificed myself to save you and your friends from those monsters, I sacrificed everything and gave my life to you so that you could live. So, stop looking at me like I've lost my mind, you're making me angry!
Victor looked taken aback by Hugo's outburst and was silent.
Victor: You're saying that Yuri didn't deserve to die, right?
Huguel: Of course he did, otherwise he wouldn't have been born! He had no right to choose between us and him, and he shouldn't have hurt me like he did.
Victor: So why did he do that? Why did you accept it all so readily?
Huguel took a gun and pointed it at Victor
Huguel: because I was manipulating you so that you would stay on my side it's not Yuri's so I you let me kill him now it's your turn to die Victor so that no stone stands in my way
with his death I can become the leader of the favela.
with his death I can become the leader of the favela. The people are my loyal subjects, I can protect them without getting punished, but you on the other hand are different and I don't trust your judgment
and so it's time to bring this fight to its conclusion
I put the gun down and walk towards Victor slowly
Huguel: I don't have much time left. After tomorrow morning you won't know who's the boss anymore.
Victor looks confused and angry
Victor: What are you talking about?
Huguel: This place belongs to the Jaque Sul favela and you have broken every single rule in this whole country.
Huguel grabs Victor by the collar of his shirt
Huguel: And besides all of this you also caused a lot of damage and caused deaths, the poor villagers had no other choice but to give up their lives. So don't think that I'll let this slide.
Victor: So what you're telling me is that you will make me pay for all of this
Huguel: Maybe not all of it Victor, I'm letting you go on account that I have nothing to gain, but I still want your cooperation
Huguel smirks
Huguel: Now get the fuck out of my sight
Huguel turns his back
Victor then takes a glass vase and hits Huguel on the head that he almost faints but his head is bleeding a lot
Huguel looking at Victor with the vase in his hand
Huguel: so it's going to be like this, it's okay, you know
Huguel throw the gun aside
Huguel getting into a fighting stance
Huguel: you can come
Victor to look at Huguel is to throw the glass vase aside and get into a fighting position
the fight starts between Huguel vs Victor
and it doesn't seem to end anytime soon. Huguel throws punches and kicks, sometimes he gets caught and Victor pushes him away, sometimes Victor blocks his attacks and he pushes him away, he tries grabbing Victor's arm to hit him with a kick, Victor tries blocking it but is pushed backwards and falls. They keep throwing punches and kicking each other, until Victor tackles the boy down and holds him down
Victor: How dare you come back here?! I thought that you had gone back to fucking France!!
Huguel: I never went anywhere! I just pretended to be someone else!!
Huguel: All this time, you have been living in the comfort zone that I am forced to share, and I had to work and take care of myself just so that I wouldn't have to share this with you!!!
Huguel: You're the one that chose the wrong path Victor! And you know it! You could have stayed a kid forever, but you chose to leave and you're forcing me to follow you because of your stupid pride.
Huguel: But the only thing that we're doing by staying alive right now is being able to continue living. So if you want me to leave that's fine, but I will only leave if I don't hear from you again
Victor: Don'
