CROW (ITACHI X READER)

Chapter Four:

Y/N

I woke up with a gasp and sat up suddenly, my shirt sticking to my chest from the sweat and a whimper crawling up my throat. It was the same nightmare that plagued my dreams since I woke up in this prison.

It wasn't even a nightmare, I just relived that night over and over again unable to wake up.

My eyes were blurry and I swept them across the room to help ground me. It wasn't even a room per se, more like a loft filled with lavish furniture. A full kitchen stocked with my favorites, things to keep me company and even a phone.

Everything I could ever need.

Except there were no windows so I couldn't keep track of the days. The main door was locked and the phone only called one person. Itachi.

I swallowed past the lump in my throat, I truly believe I had died. When the darkness overtook my vision and my body gave out, I thought that was the end.

Turns out, I was just overwhelmed that I passed out. Yay me! I woke up on this bed, in new clothes and a note from Itachi.

Angel,

Until I know what to do, you will remain here. Whether you betrayed me or not, I will find out the truth but in the moment, I could not kill you.

My heart still reaches for you and I don't know what to do about that. So get comfortable, angel.

Itachi

Why I kept the note, I have no idea; maybe to remind me that he refused to listen and did debate killing me.

Or maybe to keep me sane because rereading the line "my heart still reaches for you" makes me feel better. I might actually be a sadist. He believes I hurt him but he still couldn't do what he believed needed to be done. So it fills me with hope that i'll survive all of this.

Survive him.

Or maybe i'm just a sick twisted woman that loves the idea that her man couldn't actually kill her. Betrayal or not.

I'd laugh if I could get my breathing under control, I felt like I was slowly losing my mind. Not knowing how long i've been here, how long he'll keep me here, what he'll do with me continues to bounce around my head.

"Same dream?"

I flinched at the sound of Helen's voice and my gaze swung to where she sat in the chair in the corner. It's always Helen. I only see her. Not Itachi, Max, Damon or Zu..

A whimper snuck out and I bit my lip hard. I miss him so fucking much. So much that it's killing me, I never get answers every time I ask about him. I never get any answers at all.

Not trusting my voice, I nodded and Helen's eyes filled with pity before it vanished. I didn't know why it was her that was here but I was grateful for some kind of human interaction.

"How is he?" I whispered and she sighed, not having to ask who i'm referring to. I only ever ask about Zu, he was the only one who mattered. I didn't expect an answer but I foolishly hoped for one, she made it known she wasn't going to answer questions about anyone but Itachi.
