Obsession

Chatper 1 : The meeting

A dimly lit prison cell in a rural area. The walls are damp and cold, with the smell of mildew lingering in the air. Che Guevara walks down the corridor, his boots echoing off the concrete floor. He stops in front of Isabel's cell.

Isabel sits on a small, rickety cot, her clothes tattered and dirty. She looks up as Che Guevara approaches, her eyes wary but defiant.

Che Guevara: (leaning against the bars, his gaze intense) "Isabel, isn't it? You don't look like the others."

Isabel: (sitting up straight, meeting his gaze) "I'm not like the others. What do you want?"

Che Guevara: (smiling slightly) "I've heard a lot about you. They say you're a fighter, that you've got spirit. I admire that."

Isabel: (coldly) "Admiration from you means nothing to me. Why are you here?"

Che Guevara: (ignoring her tone) "I'm here to understand. To see for myself the person who's causing so much trouble. Tell me, Isabel, why do you fight?"

Isabel: (standing up, walking closer to the bars) "I fight because it's the right thing to do. Because someone has to stand up to people like you."

Che Guevara: (raising an eyebrow) "People like me? You think you know me?"

Isabel: "I know enough. You're a revolutionary, a man who believes in his cause, but you're also a man who uses violence to get what he wants. You and your kind are all the same."

Che Guevara: (chuckling softly) "And you, Isabel? Are you so different? You use whatever means necessary to fight for your beliefs. Isn't that the same?"

Isabel: (angrily) "No. I fight for freedom, for justice. You fight for control."

Che Guevara: (serious now) "Control is necessary for order. Without it, there's only chaos. But maybe you're right. Maybe we're not so different after all."

Isabel: (stepping back) "Don't compare us. I'll never be like you."

Che Guevara: (softening his tone) "I didn't come here to argue. I came to offer you a chance. Work with me, and you'll find that we can achieve more together than apart."

Isabel: (shaking her head) "I'll never work with you. I'd rather die fighting than live under your rule."

Che Guevara: (nodding slowly) "I expected as much. But think about it, Isabel. We could change the world together."

Isabel: (firmly) "I'll never change my mind."

Che Guevara: (sighing) "Very well. But know this, Isabel: you've caught my attention. And I don't give up easily."

Che Guevara turns and walks away, leaving Isabel standing in her cell, more determined than ever.

Isabel: (whispering to herself) "I won't let him win. I won't give in."

Isabel: (reflecting) "This is just the beginning. I'll fight him with everything I have."

3rd pov:

Che Guevara's office, a small room filled with maps, documents, and the faint smell of cigar smoke. The dim light from a single bulb casts long shadows, giving the room an eerie, contemplative atmosphere.

Che Guevara sits at his desk, a glass of rum in his hand. He leans back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought. His mind is filled with images of Isabel.

Che Guevara: (muttering to himself) "Isabel..."

(Che's thoughts): "Her eyes... they held such defiance, such fire. The way she stood, unbroken and proud, even in that wretched cell. I've never seen anyone like her."

He sets the glass down and pulls out a notebook, flipping to a blank page. He begins to write, his pen moving swiftly across the paper.

(Che's writing): "Isabel. Her name is as beautiful as she is. Her eyes are deep pools of defiance, a challenge in every glance. Her hair, though unkempt from her captivity, falls in wild waves that frame her determined face. There's a grace to her movements, even in chains, a strength that cannot be subdued."

Che pauses, closing his eyes as he recalls their conversation. He can almost hear her voice, sharp and unwavering.

(Che's thoughts): "She's not just a prisoner. She's a warrior, a force of nature. How can someone so fierce also be so captivating? I've faced countless enemies, but none have made my heart race like she does."

He takes another sip of rum, trying to shake off the thoughts, but they cling to him, persistent and alluring.

Che Guevara: (sighing) "Why can't I stop thinking about her?"

(Che's thoughts): "It's not just her beauty. It's her spirit, her fire. She's everything I've ever wanted in a partner, everything I've been searching for in this endless struggle. She's a reflection of my own desires and fears, a challenge I can't ignore."

He stands up, pacing the room, running his hands through his hair in frustration.

Che Guevara: (to himself) "I need to see her again. I need to understand this hold she has over me."

He sits back down at his desk, his mind racing. He knows he's treading dangerous ground, but he can't help himself. The allure of Isabel is too strong.

(Che's thoughts): "I've always been driven by my ideals, my vision for the future. But now, there's something else, someone else, pulling at my very soul. Isabel. I need her in ways I can't even explain."

Che leans back in his chair, a determined look on his face. He knows this obsession could be his undoing, but he's willing to risk everything to explore it.

Che Guevara: (softly) "Isabel, you've ignited something in me. And I won't rest until I've unraveled this mystery, until I've made you mine."
