Ao'nungs mouth went so dry after hearing the voice message. His hands started to shake uncontrollably. How the heck does this man know his name, How did he get his number? So many thoughts came crashing down to Ao'nung making him swallow the big lump in his throat. He quickly blocked the number and turned off his phone, taking in deep breathes. He felt like he needed to text Neteyam, he doesn't know why but he felt like it was something right to do. As he was about to go back on his phone, he heard knocks on the door. Ao'nung happily jumped out of his bed and ran down the stairs fast, smiling for how quick they have returned back. As he opened the door, his smile faded fast as a tall, muscular man stands infront of his door way, mask over his nose to chin, a hoodie covering half his eyelids. Ao'nung quickly closed the door but was stopped from a leg at the bottom of the door. The man pushed the door opened hard making Ao'nung flinch, stepping backwards.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" Ao'nungs shouts out a shaky tone, ears pinning to the side of his head, tail curling around his legs. The man stepped closer to him, not saying a word, holding something in his jacket looking like he's about to take something out which alerted Ao'nung to run back upstairs. And thats exactly what he did, he quickly ran up slamming the door behind him, hiding at the corner of the room shielding himself. 

The sound of loud footsteps came crushing up the stairs, terrifying Ao'nung as he continues to tremble. He should've just went with Neteyam instead. Gosh why was Eywa turning her back on him nowdays. The door slammed opened harshly, the unknown man now holding a big pocket knife, slowly walking back to Ao'nung. 

Ao'nung shifted uncomfortably, he felt the need to scream, to run again, to defend himself, to stop being a pussy but he felt so numb on the floor. The man stopped his footsteps, knealing down to match Ao'nungs small figured height.

"That wasn't very welcoming of you was it now," The man rumbles out a deep tone, making Ao'nung shut his eyes fully closed. Ao'nungs breath hitched when he felt a sharp tug under his chin, making him open his eyes immediately. 

"no, no ple-please what do you wa-want from me," Ao'nung whispers while stuttering, tears running down his face. The man chuckles deeply, looking down to the floor then looking back into Ao'nungs eyes. 

"I'm just here to play around nothing much, i heard your family is rich Ao'nung. Lets make a deal okay." Ao'nung nods his head fast, whimpering when he felt the sharp knife cut his chin on the outer surface, leaving Ao'nung to shed more tears from fear.

"I want you to unblock me, then until this friday, which is in three days, i want about $300 000. Do you read me." The man speaks harshly, holding Ao'nungs chin to face him. 

"y-yes okay, i'll give you whatever you want this friday just pl-please go," Ao'nung cries out. The man tugs at his chin then throws it the the side,  finally steps back, giving ao'nung enough space to breath. 

"You have my words, and if you don't do as your told, you will regret everything.... understood." The man snarls at Ao'nung making him obbey immediatley. 

The man doesn't do anything else except leaving, slamming the front door on the way out. Ao'nung didn't know what to expect, he's worthless, weak. His lips trembled as he starts to cry his ass off, falling down to the ground. After what felt like hours crying, he felt exhausted, droopy eyes closing and opening often. He finally gave up and fell asleep on the fall.

                                                                                                                     


Neteyam and the boys finally made it back to the house, knocking on the door waiting for Ao'nung to open but no response.

"Why isn't he answering," Neteyam asks abit concern in his voice. Lo'ak scoffs,

"Just message him see if he will answer." Neteyam did what Lo'ak told him as Roxto just continues to knock on the door softly, but still nothing. Neteyam sighs,

"He didn't asnwer the call, like i've- oh.... we have the keys.." Neteyam chuckles out dumbly as he inserts the key in the padlock, looking down from his embaressment. Once he opened the door, everything felt extra cold for them. It was pretty dark outside still and yes, it is raining much more harder now. 

"Maybe he's just sleeping you know," Roxto kinda whispers while setting down his bag towards the kitchen counter. Lo'ak gulps as he looks towards his brother. 

"Neteyam can you come with me please, this looks like a scene from a fucking horror movie," Neteyam and Roxto snorts as they try to hold on their laughter.

"Okay its not funny you bitches, cmon Neteyam i ain't finna die today, i still need my chance with Tsireya." Roxto rolls his eyes as Neteyam just nods is head and follows him. They were walking upstairs so slow to the point they were only on the 3 step with a shaky Lo'ak clinging on Neteyams arm.

"Look at you baby bro, not the mighty warrior being a scaredy cattt," Neteyam blurts out while Lo'ak soves him off.

"I'm not scared, who said i was ever- AAHHHH," Lo'ak screams as their was a loud lightning strike outside. Neteyam couldn't help but laugh at him, making Lo'ak roll his eyes grabbing Neteyams arm for support again walking slowly. 

Ao'nung woke up bit by bit from the lightning strike, he was still on the floor with a puddle of tears on the ground. It was nightime already? He was about to get up on his feet to wash his face until he heard quiet footsteps. No... no he can't be back. Ao'nung felt numb all over again, swallowing air as he curls himself in the corner, knees up against his chest, praying to Eywa nothing will happen.


"Bro put your flashlight on," Lo'ak argues as he turns on the light, finally making it upstairs. Neteyam looks towards Ao'nungs door, deciding whether or not to check up on him. And he does...

                                                                                                             

He heard the Footsteps coming closer and closer to the door, light could be seen aswell. Ao'nung was shaking, tears threatning to spill again but he holds it back. The door opens slowly making Ao'nung look down to his wrapped arms, sobbing. Neteyam walks in seeing Ao'nung crying with red puffy eyes, cheeks stained badly with tears, trembling alot.

"Ao'nung, oh my gosh, what happened now??" Neteyam quickly runs towards him, sitting down making Ao'nung lean to his chest. He hugs Neteyam around his weist, now releasing the harsh sobs. Lo'ak entered the room seeing whats going on. He gives Neteyam the look either to step in or go but Neteyam waves him off which he listened to, closing the door for them. Ao'nung knows he wouldn't dare say any of this shit to anyone, anyone....
