An Eternity With You

Chapter 6

"I understand, Father." I said clearly. As I said those words a huge grin started to form on his face. "Good." He hummed. He walked past me and stopped shortly after. "I'll have to run some errands." He stated blankly. "Be a good boy and stay here." He said in a happy tone.

I then heard him walk away and shut the door. How would he expect me to get out if I'm tied up? He wouldn't just leave me here like that. He probably has a camera that's watching me... I scanned the room carefully and saw a camera that was in the corner furthest from me.

It was facing my direction and it was high up. It looked like it captures everything in the room. Knowing that he's watching me, I can't do anything. I sighed in defeat. I guess I'll take a nap to pass the time. And so I shut my eyes and tried to fall asleep.

                    -Time Skip (11:30am)-

I felt someone poking my forehead continuously which made me wake up. As I opened my eyes, I saw a woman that looked like she was in her early twenties. "Hey, look who finally woke up." She said in a soft, soothing voice. "You can call me 'Vanny' sweetie." She introduced herself in the same voice.

"I already know your name, so need to tell me." She continued. "You may be wondering what I'm doing here. Well, I'll tell you a little secret. But you have to promise not to tell anyone." She stated. I was in a silent shock of confusion. "I'm Mr.Afton's assistant." She said enthusiastically. "You're what!?" I blurted out. She giggled at this.

"This reaction was expected." She said in a calm tone. "But you heard me right. I am indeed your father's assistant." She informed. "And I am here to watch you until he comes back." She said gleefully with a toothy grin at the end of her sentence. I groaned at this. "Oh c'mon. I promise I'll make it fun~" She said playfully.

"Uhm, no thanks." I said nervously. She giggled again. "You're cute." She stated with full confidence. "Uh, thanks?" I said blankly as I glanced to the left. "If you're looking for that guy that was on the floor, I put him in a different room." She informed. "Don't worry, he's safe." She reassured.

"Thanks for telling me I guess..." I said awkwardly. "There's no need to be so shy around me sweetie." She said, trying to lighten the mood; despite the situation I was in. "What made you want to become my father's assistant?" I asked bluntly. "A lot of things." She started. "Mainly because I found the idea of immortality exciting." She admitted.

"It's not as exciting as you think it is..." I mumbled. "Maybe not for you." She said in an almost bragging tone. I scoffed at this. I no longer wished to talk to her after what she said. She tried on multiple occasions to spike up conversation again but I ignored her. I looked at the wall to the right to avoid eye contact and stayed silent.

Eventually, she gave up and stayed quiet but continued to stare at me. It was getting really awkward and the tension in the room was rising by the second. I then heard the flick of something metal and felt a sharp pain on my leg. "Agh!" I screamed in pain. I look over to my left thigh and saw a pocket knife struck in it with my blood.

"What the hell was that for!?" I yelled at Vanny. "That was for ignoring me." She said blankly with a smirk at the end of her sentence. "Now, are you going to talk to me? Or do I have to give you another punishment?" She asked enthusiastically. I've had just about enough of her...

"I thought you were meant to watch me, not annoy me." I stated blankly. Vanny was lying flat on the floor while I sat knelt down on top of her with my legs on either side of her and my hands still tied behind my back. While I was only filled with anger and annoyance, she looked like she was enjoying the moment.

Just then, I heard footsteps walking up to the door and after, the door swung open. Father was standing in the doorway with a bag in his hand. He stood there analyzing the situation for a few seconds until a smirk formed on his lips. "I- It's not what it looks like..." I said nervously, knowing how bad the situation looks.

"Oh, it's not?" Father said in a playful tone. "Don't do this to me. I can already tell you know exactly what happened here." I said firmly while giving him a death stare. "Do I really know what's going on here?" He said in the same tone as before. "Don't do this to me." I said aggravated. "Don't do what?" He asked, acting confused.

"I hate you." I sighed as I glanced away from the both of them. They both chuckled at this. I got up cautiously and took a few steps away from Vanny. She got up and dusted herself off. "I got something special for you~" Father said enthusiastically. If he's happy about it, then it certainly won't be good for me.

He approached me and reached into the bag he was holding. He pulled something out and quickly wrapped the object around my wrist. "What the hell is this...?" I asked confused. He let out a maniacal chuckle. "This is so I can know where you're at, at all times." He informed, amused. "Is this a tracking bracelet!?" I asked anxiously.

"Yes it is." He stated gleefully with a huge smile at the end of his sentence. "It's not big so it won't be noticeable." He stated directly. "And you won't be able to take it off." He said, ardent. "Now you can go back with Henry." He informed me with a warm smile that seemed almost genuine.
