Saterduy night 00:03- Inessa
Inessa tossed and turned in her bed, her mind racing with thoughts of Vincent and their arrangement. She didn't know what to make of him - he seemed charming and generous, but at the same time, there was a darkness lurking beneath the surface. She wondered if she was being paranoid, but then she remembered the way he had looked at her earlier, his eyes full of a hunger that made her uncomfortable.
She decided to try and get some sleep, but just as she was about to drift off, she heard a soft knock on her door. She got up and opened it, and to her surprise, Vincent was standing there, looking at her with a serious expression.
"Inessa, I need to talk to you," he said, his voice low.
She hesitated, but then stepped back and gestured for him to come in. Vincent walked into the room and sat down on the edge of her bed. Inessa sat next to him, her heart racing.
"I know that you're still trying to figure out if you can trust me," Vincent said, his voice gentle. "And I don't blame you. I haven't been completely honest with you."
Inessa's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
Vincent took a deep breath. "The truth is, Inessa, I didn't bring you here just because I needed a companion. There's something else going on, something that I can't tell you about yet."
Inessa felt a surge of anger. "What are you talking about? You can't just keep me in the dark like this!"
Vincent put his hand on hers. "Please, Inessa, try to understand. Things are happening that I can't control, and I need your help. But I can't tell you any more than that right now."
Inessa pulled her hand away from his. "I don't know if I can do this, Vincent. I don't know if I can be a part of whatever it is you're involved in."
Vincent stood up and walked to the door. "I understand," he said quietly. "I'll leave you alone now. But please, Inessa, think about what I've said. I promise you, I'm not trying to hurt you."
With that, he left the room, leaving Inessa alone with her thoughts. She didn't know what to do - part of her wanted to run away, to forget about Vincent and his strange world. But another part of her was curious, intrigued by the mystery he had presented. She lay back down on her bed and tried to clear her mind, but sleep remained elusive, as did the answers to the questions that plagued her.
Saturday Morning 11:34- Inessa
Inessa lay there for what felt like hours, tossing and turning as she tried to make sense of what Vincent had said. She didn't know what to believe anymore - part of her wanted to trust him, but another part of her was terrified of what he might be involved in.
As the night wore on, Inessa's thoughts turned to her family. She missed them terribly, and she wished that she could reach out to them, tell them everything that had happened. But she knew that it wasn't possible. Vincent had made it clear that she was to have no contact with the outside world, except in college, he is watching her phone he can see who she texts when she texts them, and who she calls.
Eventually, exhaustion took over and Inessa fell into a fitful sleep. When she woke up the next morning, she felt groggy and disoriented. She got dressed and made her way to the dining room, where Vincent was already seated at the table.
"Good morning," he said, smiling at her.
Inessa mumbled a greeting and sat down across from him. They ate in silence, and Inessa couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She wondered if Vincent had been watching her while she slept, or if he had been up all night, planning whatever it was he had hinted at.
As they finished their meal, Vincent spoke up. "Inessa, I need to leave for a few days. There's some business that I need to attend to, but I'll be back soon. In the meantime, I want you to make yourself at home here. Explore the grounds, read some books, do whatever you like."
Inessa felt a knot form in her stomach. She didn't like the idea of being left alone in this strange place, but she knew that there was nothing she could do about it. She nodded, trying to hide her fear.
Vincent stood up and walked over to her. "I know that this is a lot to take in, Inessa," he said, his hand resting on her shoulder. "But I promise you, everything will become clear soon. You just have to trust me."
And with that, he left the room, leaving Inessa alone once again. She sat there for a few minutes, trying to calm herself down. She didn't know what was going on, but she knew that she had to find out. She decided to explore the grounds, as Vincent had suggested, hoping that it would take her mind off things.
As she walked around, Inessa couldn't help but feel like she was being watched. She kept turning around, expecting to see Vincent or one of his associates following her. But every time she looked, there was no one there.
Eventually, she made her way to a small pond, where she sat down on a bench and tried to relax. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to push all of the worries and doubts out of her mind.
But even as she tried to clear her thoughts, one question kept nagging at her: what was Vincent hiding, and how was she involved?
Suddenly, Inessa was jolted out of her thoughts by the sound of approaching footsteps. She opened her eyes and saw Viola walking towards her, a fierce look on her face.
"Where is Vincent?" Viola demanded, her voice dripping with anger.
Inessa stood up, taken aback by Viola's sudden appearance. "He's not here right now," she said, trying to keep her voice steady.
"I don't believe you," Viola spat. "I know he's hiding something from me, and I want to know what it is."
Inessa felt her heart racing as Viola closed in on her. She had never been in a fight before, but she knew that she had to defend herself. Before she could even think, Viola swung her fist at Inessa, but Inessa was quicker than she expected. She dodged the punch and landed a solid hit on Viola's jaw.
Viola stumbled back, surprised by Inessa's strength. But she quickly regained her footing and lunged at Inessa again. The two girls grappled with each other, fists flying as they fought for dominance.
As the fight continued, Inessa realized that she was holding her own. Viola was a skilled fighter, but Inessa had an agility and determination that she didn't expect. She could feel her adrenaline pumping as she landed blow after blow on Viola.
Just as Inessa was gaining the upper hand, Elijah burst onto the scene, jumping up and down and cheering them on. "Fight! fight! fight! go, Inessa! You're doing great!" he yelled.
Mira ran over to him and tried to stop him, but he was too excited to listen. Inessa could see Trey approaching, ready to intervene, but Elijah stopped him, shouting, "Don't get involved! It's a girl's fight!"
Inessa and Viola continued to battle it out, but eventually, Trey managed to separate them. Viola was left bruised and battered, and Inessa was surprised by how exhilarating the fight had been. She felt alive, invigorated by the rush of adrenaline.
As they walked away, Trey turned to Inessa. "You're a good fighter," he said, nodding in approval.
Inessa felt a sense of pride swell up inside her. She had never thought of herself as a fighter before, but now she knew that she had a strength she never knew existed. And as she looked around at her new surroundings, she knew that she would need that strength to survive whatever Vincent had in store for her.
