"Alright yn." Verin said and he guided me to another room just leaving Dolores there.. levitating. It was like an office. It had a homey feeling and it was.. slightly comfortable. He guided me to a chair across from his desk and I immediately sat down with my pounding headache. He sat down across from me and watched for a moment. "What do you want Verin?" I asked him massaging my head trying to get my headache to stop.
"I need to know where your little madrigal went." He said and took a sit out of a mug that was sitting on his counter. I stopped massaging my head. "You don't know where he is?" I said slightly angry.
"Well after you passed out he ran an unidentified direction.. and long story short we need you to find him" he said while leaning back in his chair.
"And why?" I asked slightly annoyed that the person who almost killed my boyfriend and his family, twice is asking for my help.
"We'll we need some... information from him, and in favor I'll do... almost anything you ask" he said pausing.
"And what do you mean by almost?" I asked trying to sound normal with my headache.
"Well, Some things are out of my reach surely you know what is..." he said raising his eyebrows at my questions. My heart stopped as I finally understood, he can't let them go..? Maybe he has a boss.. maybe he's not in control.
"Who do you work for" I ask leaning forward.
"Hah," he laughed, more like chuckled at the question "I am my own boss..." he seemed to be thinking when he suddenly turned to me. "So what do you request"
It was almost like I was unable to think at that moment. What do I request? I could ask for them to leave camilo..? No that would be too selfish and he'd prob be mad at me for leaving his whole family.. I could ask for where they are..? No then what would I even do? My head was pounding and he seemed to notice so he snapped his fingers and a glass of water appeared. I picked it up slowly and inspected it from the side. "What.? I'm not gonna poison you, I need you." He said. So I hesitantly brought the cup to my lips and took a sip. The water tasted normal, it wasn't sweet, or foul..
I drank it all.
My headache reduced and was barely noticeable. I sighed in relief and I leaned back in my chair. Alright now back to the request thing... I could ask for... wait I know what to do now.
"I need you to answer 5 of my questions" I said
He leaned back in his chair, ready for his questions and said "I'm listening"
I took a breath. "Is the family safe or hurt" I said. He thought for a moment then said
"They are... healthy, is a word for it but they are in my custody so if that's safe to you then yes, they are safe"
That didn't quite settle the churning in my stomach. "Will I ever get them back..?" I asked
"Maybe, it depends" he said.
"Okay you can't keep giving me these crappy answers say straight forward 'yes' or 'no'" I said irritated already.
"It depends on what happens, we could get what we want then yes.. they would be free. But if they don't then..." he made the death sign thing (Idfk what it's called).
"That is such bullshit" I said "so you don't get what you want, then you kill a whole innocent family?!?"
Something flickered in his eyes... something angry and hungry. "One more comment like that and the deals off." He said
"Fine I don't want part in this stupid deal!" I snapped and stood up. He suddenly snapped his fingers and I couldn't move. His eyes full of rage. He called out to his guard and I still couldn't move. The guard grabbed me by the collar and dragged me down and down and down and down. It seemed never ending... until we reached a cellar door with multiple locks, inside was the whole madrigal family except Camilo.
He shoved me inside and before I got the strength to get through the door he slammed it and locked it. "Nooo" I yelled as I ran to the door and began banging on it. My fists hurt and I felt like crying. I looked around at the family and they all looked cold.. and wet, prob from Pepa. "I'm sorry." I said sitting down on the ground defeated. "This is all my fault"
I messed up, I had a chance and I waisted it with my quick temper.
