TW: guns, violence

the moment we arrived back in snezhnaya, my happiness was replaced by dread, i had to go back to working. collecting debts and training new members of the fatui, how annoying. i also realised i would no longer be able to see signoras comforting smile everyday, she'd be back to her old cold hearted self. i stare at the snowy mountains and the silhouette of the palace and sigh, not long until i'll have to be back there.

i glance over at signora and smile, her kindess replaced by a cold glare, "dont even dare tell any of this to the tsaritsa, i'm one of the oldest harbingers, i dont want to get fired or even worse, be executed, you know how everyone is in snezhnaya when it comes to people being lesbian or gay or anything like that.."

"its fine i dont plan on, i guess this is the final time we can ever be.. well all lovey with eachother.. im seriously gonna miss you signora" i frowned.

"dont be sad, its a waste of time, your too pretty for that y/n, but i guess ill miss you too." she turned to face me and wrapped her hands around my waist. the warmth of her arms hanging around my waist, her lips gently kissed my forehead and just like that she walked away leaving me alone with my  thoughts. the feeling of her touch still lingered. it hurt to see her leave, she really seemed like she was the only person who understood.

i turned back to face the ocean, the cloudy grey sky and the blue cold ocean surrounded me, its like i was alone, with nobody there to save me.

entering the palace was a challenge, although i was the most respected person walking through the hallways, it all felt so empty without signoras presence.

gently knocking on the door to the tsaritsas chamber, i was greeted by 2 fatui agents opening the door for me with a bow. a few metres ahead of me there she stood, tall and proud. the tsaritsa. i walked up to her and kneeled with respect.

"rise dear." the elegant archon spoke, a warm smile spread across her lips.

"ive been expecting you, signora informed me about both of your victorys with the gnosis. im incredibly proud of you both so ive decided i will host a ball to celebrate such a wonderful achievement."

"thank you, i appreciate it tsaritsa." i bowed as i spoke.

"im not done. since you and signora achieved this together you will be going together, the ball is in a week on thursday."

"thank you. i truly do appreciate it." i smiled.

from that day forward i focused on work, thankfully lately it was just been collecting debts in snezhnaya, signing contracts, planning on how we are going to steal the geo archons gnosis.

each day i knock on multiple doors and it always goes the same.

i knock gently on a mans door, waiting for a response. after getting no response i kick the door with my boot, just in case they are asleep or in the shower, once i hear no response, i sigh.

"i didnt think id have to do this.. " i kick down the door and look through the house, first i enter the kitchen.

"hm.. theres nobody there." i leave the room and enter the living room, i scan the room and look around. i hear heavy breathing and sounds of sobs. i check behind an armchair and see a young looking male crouching down behind the sofa with his head burried in his knees. he only looked young, around 25 years old age, he looks up when he sees my shadow.

mans pov:

small tears fall from my eyes as i look up and find the presence of a fatui harbinger looming over me.

"so, are you gonna fucking pay of your debt? or do you have to pay with your life instead?" the womans cold dominating voice gets shivers running down my back. i get on my knees, sobbing and begging for forgiveness.

"please miss, just give me one month extension." i beg whilst choking on my tears.

she grabs my collar pulling me close up to her face, my feet slightly hovering over the carpet of my living room.

"you have had a 3 month extension, you shouldn't take money out if you can't repay it. look your in debt of 500,000 mora, you should be lucky we even chose to give you that type of money, do you wants to pay with your life or are you going to pay the fatui their money back since we are so generous with our money that we decide to give it to stupid unreliable men like you who only care about expensive cars and luxurious items." the harbingers dominating voice filled the room as my tears fill my eyes and run down my face. she drops me to the ground and spits on me like i was nothing but a servant.

y/n pov:

god i hate stupid men like him, who care about nothing but designer clothes and cars, how pathetic. the man clings onto my legs, reaching up trying to grab my skirt and pull it down.

"get off me you freak!" i shout, kicking him in the nuts and pushing him down the ground. i pin him to the floor wrapping my hands around his neck and glaring at him.

"i guess that has answered my question of how you want to repay your debts.." his sobs and begs like music to my ears how beautiful. i pull out a gun and put it against his head.

"please no.. stop it! ill do anything, ill give you the money, ill give you the money just stop!" he begs and cries.

"finally, we didnt have to make that so dificult now did we." i stand up. "so how would you like to repay your debts? are you going to sell things and give us the money? or are you going to actually give us the money back now." i calmy say with a smile.

"i will pay 125,000 and ill sell my car and give the money to the fatui.."

"well then you better make it fast, don't keep us waiting. i expect the 125,000 now."

"yes of course.. the money is in the safe upstairs. the code is 5382. just dont hurt me"

i walk upstairs without another word and look for the safe, thankfully it was real so i took the money and left.
