Esme didn't know how she ended up back at her old house. The same house she grew up in and made so many memories.
The house where she almost died in.
It was early in the morning, too early for Esme's taste. But a voice in her head was telling her to get up and walk around because she couldn't fall asleep. And so here she was, walking into her old room. Blood stained the walls along with clothes thrown everywhere and her window smashed from when the police raided her house.
"God, what the fuck am I doing?" Esme whispered as she wiped the tears that were coming down her cheeks. Turning her head, Esme looked at her parents old room where she would run in and jump on their bed to wake them up. When everything was normal.
Happy.
Flashback: "Dad, did you just see that?" Esme asked as she just did a trick on her skateboard.
"I've been watching you for the last hour, mija." Mario replied with a chuckle.
Esme let out a laugh and did another trick on her skateboard, not expecting to fall and scrape her knee horribly.
"Esme! Are you ok?" Mario panicked as he ran over to his daughter. Esme let out a low groan and looked to her knee which was starting to bleed out on the pavement.
"My knee hurts." She whined.
"Come on Esme, you gotta get up. You never back down, no matter how hard the challenge is. In this case, the challenge is a scraped knee. Now are you gonna sit and let an injury like that ruin your day?"
"No!" Esme yelled, suddenly standing up with the help of her dad. As usual, Mario was there to teach his daughter lessons she would never forget.
Esme sighed and leaned against the wall, staring at the room. Just as she was about to turn and walk off the door opened.
Limbrey and her stupid bodyguard Renfield.
"How the hell did you find me?" Esme asked as she stared at the two in confusion.
"We have our ways. Where's your little boyfriend?" Renfield replied as he stepped forward causing Esme to step back. She left her bow and arrow back at the chateau, so she didn't have anything to defend herself at the moment.
"Get out of my house." Esme warned.
"We just want to talk, Esmeralda. We assumed you would know about Popes whereabouts and where the key is. Do you?" Limbrey questioned in a sickly calm voice. Esme didn't respond. She wasn't going to respond. No way was she going to rat out her boyfriend.
"White people always trying to take what isn't theres. Why don't you crawl back to your rich mansion and leave my boyfriend the fuck alone?"
