Strange, isn't it? (Dr. Facilier x Reader)

Chapter 4

Your POV

You woke up in an unfamiliar room. You started to panic before remembering what happened; and then proceeded to panic again.

You were kidnapped. By the Shadow Man. And to make matters worse, he must've already guessed why your arm was wrapped up in bandages.

The doorknob rattled. You whipped your head around as your panic grew worse and Dr. Facilier walked in.

"Ah, you're awake Doll," he hummed. You hesitated before nodding. He stared at you for a moment with those violet eyes of his before walking up to you.

"Come with me," he said. Knowing you had no choice, you stood up and followed him out of the room and to the main part of the shop. He lead you over to the table and sat you down before walking around and sitting down across from you.

"You did that yourself, didn't you?" He asked, gesturing towards your bandaged arm. You glanced down in shame before nodding gently.

"I hoped no one would ever find out," you murmured, not daring to look up at him. He was silent for a moment before asking, "So you wore long sleeves all the time?" Once more you hesitated before nodding. You finally glanced back up at him.

"That's also why you locked yourself in your house, isn't it? It wasn't just because you were busy," he stated.

"I didn't want to worry anyone. Lottie wouldn't understand and Tia already had enough on her plate," you murmured. "So I stayed home, drowning myself in my work." He stared at you for a second before standing up.

"Stay here Doll," he ordered softly. You hummed in response and he walked away.

Dr. Facilier's POV

As a witch doctor/con-artist,Dr. Facilier never expected something like this. It was unheard of! No one would expect a lady to be hurting herself.

But she was different, and he's known that, so he didn't question it and brewed up some chamomile tea. He would make something better for her later when he had the time, but right now this would have to do.

Tea cup in hand he walked back to his table before gently setting the cup down in front of Y/n and sitting back down.

"What's this?" Y/n asked curiously, gently picking up the cup.

"Chamomile tea," he responded. "It'll help with stress."

Your POV (Again)

You stared down at the honey-coloured liquid for a moment before sighing.

"Why should I trust you?" You murmured. "You're just trying to get me on your side, aren't you?"

"Well Doll, if you want to know what happened to Tiana it's best if you corporate." Your eyes widened.

"What did you do to Tiana?!" You yelled, slamming your hands on the table and standing up. Neither you nor Dr. Facilier paid attention to the now broken tea cup and spilled tea.

"Personally, I did nothing," he responded, standing up. "However, I do know what happened to her." He walked up to you with a smirk.

"Listen Doll, to ensure her safety, all you have to do is listen to me," he continued, wrapping an arm around your waist and pulling you towards him.

You gulped. Oh god, just what did you get yourself into?
