The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Male! Esmeralda x Reader)

Tunnel Questions Part 2

(POV:Reader)

-"No, my father wouldn't do that"

-"My mother left us when I was born or she died, he isn't really specific, father says both are just as bad" I explained. 

-"Do you really think that?" he looked over to me, probably trying to see my reaction.

-"He couldn't possib-"

-"That doesn't answer my question, love"

-"I-I don't know"

-"I can't say what he has or hasn't done 'cause I don't see him often, only when he comes to visit"

-"We're here" I cleared my throat and pointed to the tunnel door.

-"Come with me" he took my hands in his, pulling them lightly towards him.

-"I can't"

-"Can't or won't"

-"I really can't, I'd leave Quasi here and my father's rude to him enough, imagine what he'd do if I was gone" I shivered at the thought, especially after hearing that story.

-"Then I'll come visit you"

-"You can't, he'll see you and if not him the guards will"

-"I'm leaving now and they haven't seen me" he smirked and I gave him a look.

-"I'll come after sunset..."

-"And if you ever need sanctuary, this will show you the way" he put a woven pendant around my neck, it looked like a map of some sort.

-"Now go, my father will be looking for me soon" he kissed my cheek and left, leaving me with reddened cheeks.

-Back to the Bell Tower-

-"Quasi! Quasi! I've just met the most wonderful perso-" I cut myself off, seeing as father was standing next to him.

-"And who would that wonderful person be?" he waved a hand to walk to my room.

-"Oh! Father! I was just gonna tell Quasi about...the umm...new priest!" I opened the door, let him in and he closed it...weird.

-"Very well" the look on his face let me know he didn't believe me, but he wouldn't push it, something he's never done.

-"You look just like your mother, dear" he caressed my cheek then moved a hand to my hair, twirling a strand between his fingers.

-"You're mother was very beautiful, you know that"

-"She was a dancer, just like the ones we saw the other day, she was very good..." he pulled me into a weird type of hug, playing with my hair and putting his head in the crook of my neck.

-"F-Father?" I felt uncomfortable, and tried to push him off, but him being a grown man was much stronger, and he wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closer and tighter.

-"I wonder if..." he moved my hair and kissed my neck. That was enough for me. I pushed him as hard as I could and he stumbled back a bit.

-"Y/N!" he yelled.

-"Y-you're my father, y-you can't do that" tears threatened to fall from  my eyes. 

-"You're very wrong, my dear"

-"I am not your father, I killed your parents years ago..." he chuckled, watching as my expressions changed to a frightened one.

-"And you, young lady, won't and can't tell me what to do" he walked closer to me once more but I stepped back, eventually hitting a wall.

-"I couldn't have your mother, but you, you I will have..." he played with my hair again.

-"And no one will take you from me, I will eliminate each person who saw you that day, my love" he kissed my cheek and walked away.

To say I felt uncomfortable would be saying the least, I felt more afraid and frightened than anything. I think what frightened me the most was that he would be back and that there was no escape, as the door was now locked. 

(A/N):

After this book, (it's not ending soon, just letting you know!) I will re-visit my Raya and the Las Dragon story and editing it a bit, adding more romance as requested and probably an alternate ending. After that I'll look through my requests list and add the next story.

 hope you enjoyed the chapter!

Bye!
