Y/n's POV: Sleep. The only peacefull time i had in this institute. After a day full of talking to doctors and nurses that were not to my liking all male...like why isn't there not even a one female nurse?... Anyways, back to my monolog. So, sleep was the only thing i looked forward to right now. Well...at least it was. I started having nightmares like a week ago. They were all about Hannibal... it was always different place and time, but the plot was the same. It was about Hannibal brutally killing one of the victims that the chesapeake ripper killed. I was sure that he would not do this, he's a doctor, he's supposed to help people, not kill them. Most nights i would just wake up sweating, the other nights i would be woken up by Chilton with worried look.
That was another thing i found weird. I was a labeled murderer, though Chilton seemed to not judge me as the others. I mean not everyone judges me, Abel Gideon talks about himself as a big fan of me, but he's a sick dude ya know. But Chilton almost seems like he believes that i haven't done it. He actually cares for me, he talks to me with respect, he's not that perverted anymore and he makes me actually feel like human in this dark place they called "Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane". Even tho i was a "murderer" and all things like that i still was in touch with my friends, most of them think that i killed these people wasn't true. So Bev, Will and Alana was either paying a visist to me or calling me, promissing they will clear me of guilt. Althought i loved those people and was glad they were checkin up on me, i still waited for that one person to call me...Hannibal. Even tho i had these nightmares i missed him more and more. I missed his gentle touch, his words of encouragement, i needed him to take care of me. I was like addicted. I waited day and night for him to call, but he never did. So i quickly became attached to Chilton because he gave me the attention i needed. Soon i was found innocent and was dismissed after ten months in the institute.
Four months went by and i found myself planning a wedding with no one other than Frederick Chilton. Tonight we held an engagement party at our house. I was happy with Frederick, but deep down i still loved Hannibal. Chilton was like a band-aid. Like i said i was happy with him, but i kind of haven't registered that im engaged to him yet. Just so you know, we haven't had any sexual contact because i told him i "wanted to wait till we are married"....that wasn't true, i only told him that because the only man i loved like that was Hannibal.
(Time skip - at the engagement party, The Chilton Residence)
Still your's POV: I was getting ready. I put on the champagne colored, silk dress that Frederick had laid out on the bed for me.

It was beautifull and all but i was against wearing it. I wanted to wear a dark red one but Frederick hated them, He said that my body would be "too much noticable" in them. He pretty much controlled everything about my life for these past ten months. How i dressed, what i ate, what i did to entertain myself while he was at work because he said i quote: "You are about to be doctor's wife. And the pretty little wife does not need to be working". As i did my hair and makeup i was thinking deeper and deeper into it. I was in toxic realtionship but i haven't noticed it at first because like i said, Chilton was like a band aid. But as the time got shorter i was more and more anxious. Was i prepared to announce my engagement? Hell no. Was i unsure about this whole situation? Well yes. Was there any way back from this? Unfortunatelly no. So i got my anxious ass up and walked into the guest room where Frederick waited ready for me.
(You can play the music now, enjoy)
I walked my arm linked with his. We stood at the top of the staircase. The "Second waltz" by Dmitri Shostakovich performed by André Rieu was playing. I absolutely loved this one. We watched as our guests as they moved smoothly in a circle across the dancefloor. They all were so elegant. But none of them were familiar faces to me. I scanned the room for a while and my eyes landed on a small group i recognized, Bev, Will, Alana, Jack and Bella. I tried to make my way over to them, but as i tried to get away from my soon to be husband he yanked my arm and held me more tightly than before. I looked at him with shock just to see his stern expression. We both watched an older woman make her way over to us and as she reached us she greeted Frederick. Then she looked at me with a big smile and took my hands in her's. "And you dear must be Y/n, the charming girl that won my nephew's heart" she exclaimed with the most heart-warming tone. She led me towards a small couch that was in our livingroom. The room was full of people but i still kind of felt free without Chilton being around 24/7. I talked with my fiance's aunt 'till it was time for the announcement....
(Please skip the music to 2:20 for this part) It all went by so fast.
"I present to you future Mrs. Chilton!" . . "Frederick she's beautiful" . . "Congratulations Y/n" . . "To Frederick and Y/n! Hope your marriage will last long" . . "Wanna dance angel?" "Frederick i don't feel well" "Nonsense, come on"
That is all i remember before i passed out. (You can stop the music now if you want)
I woke up with dry throat and hurting head. I looked over to the other side to see Frederick sleeping peacefully. Then i looked at the alarmclock it showed 1:36 AM. I decided to get up and go downstairs to the kitchen for a cup of water. As i was filling the cup i heard a noise from behind me. I jumped when i felt two strong hands wrap around my waist the i giggled "Frederick you really scared me, what do you think you do-" i fell silent when i turned around to see the one and only Hannibal Lecter looking down at me with a smile. More like a devilish grin. "Future Mrs. Chilton is that right?" He asked, his voice low. "H-Hannibal listen to me i-"..."You smell like him" He said with disgust. "Listen to me now, i waited and waited in that hell hole hoping that you would at least call me, but. you.did.not. So i became attached to the only person that gave me the attention and care i needed, do you even know what the doctors did to me?" I whisper-yelled at him. His eyes seemed to soften, and he hugged me. I relaxed into his embrace, but what i definitely did not expect was a cloth against my mouth and nose. Soon i fell into unconsciousness
