Little Darling

Marks

Raven woke up the next day in a daze, she rubbed her head as she awoke, Raven walked downstairs where everyone else was early in the morning. "Morning Little Raven." Le Chiffre said, walking up to her wrapping his arms around her waist. "I'm still a bit tired." Raven told Le Chiffre.

"Of course you're still tired, how about some coffee that'll wake you up Little One." Le Chiffre walked Raven into the kitchen and gave her some coffee with creamer in it. "Thank you Le Chiffre." She said with a yawn, she was still tired, but looking at the marks where Hannibal took his mouth to, he glided his fingers on her neck.

"Tell me Little One where did you get these marks?" Le Chiffre asked tilting her head up, she looked up at him with tired red eyes, he can tell the drug is still affecting her. "I don't know...they just showed up." Raven told him she placed the coffee cup down on the table. "Still tired I see my Little one?" He asked playing with her hair. All Raven did was nod and placed her head on the table.

"I'll carry you upstairs, so you can go back to sleep." Le Chiffre picked up Raven, carrying her to her bedroom, she was definitely light, he placed her down on the bed, tucking her in bed, he placed one kiss on her lips, sliding his hand down her body, he slowly pulled himself away from her. "Sweet dreams Little One." He left the room leaving Raven to sleep.

"You're not taking advantage of her?" Hannibal asked seeing Le Chiffre coming down the stairs. "No, I'm not taking advantage of her, she's tired, and no one should disturb her sleep, she'll wake up later today." Le Chiffre said to Hannibal, he nodded understanding what Le Chiffre meant.

A few hours later:

Raven woke up seeing the hickies and the bite marks that one of them left, she looks at herself in the mirror for a little bit. Not knowing what to say about what happened, she doesn't remember of what happened to her or where she got the marks came from, she woke up from a nap, checking her phone it was 4:45 in the evening.

She walks down stairs, seeing the men sitting down and talking to others, she could hear the voices of the men talking, there's others here...? She walked downstairs in the living room but no one is there but in the basement, which she is not allowed to go or asked about what goes on down there.

Not letting her curiosity get the best of her, she goes upstairs back to her room, she picked up a book on her shelf and sat down in the armchair next to her little library. She sat there in silence and stayed in her room until the men are done what they are doing with whatever they are doing.

Raven stayed in her room, not coming out until she is being told to come down. She minds her business of what's going on, she puts the book down and got her journal from the shelf, she put her headphones on and listen to her music as she wrote.

What's going on downstairs is the four men are talking and gambling with other men, clients that need Duncan to kill people for them, Le Chiffre is their banker of course, Nigel is the gangster that could get shit done and takes what's theirs or his, and Hannibal a secret killer only some knew, but this company of other rivals and friends can be dangerous.

Le Chiffre, Duncan, Hannibal, and Nigel knew that Raven wouldn't come down to the basement, but she knows better than to come to the basement especially when they are with clients. What they don't know if Raven is awake or not. Hannibal whispers into Nigel's ear. "Go check on our little darling will you Nigel?" Hannibal whispered and Nigel nodded and got up from his chair, the clients were confused and concern.

"Where is Banyai going?" Asked the client, Hannibal looks at the men around the table. "Don't worry he just need to check something real quick." Hannibal reassured them, Nigel closed the basement door and started to head to Raven's room where she is sitting down in her outfir sitting on her bed writing in her journal and listening to music. Nigel closed her door and looked at what she is writing hovering over her.
