You laid next to Hannibal, your head on his chest.
You had no idea if this was enough to stop him killing your friend.
"We can figure it out." You whispered as he ran his hand through your hair.
"I suppose we can..." He replied as you sighed in relief.
"You mean it?" You said, not looking up at him.
"Yes, my dear. She won't be harmed."
--
Hannibal hated lying to you, but he knew there wasn't any other way.
You wouldn't ever understand why he had to kill your friend, or even the lengths he had to go to stop everyone from finding out about you.
Hannibal read a book while your head was on his lap, he gently ran his fingers through your hair.
You caught a glimpse of an article in the newspaper that sat on the coffee table.
You slowly sat up and looked at it.
"Chesapeake ripper..." You whispered as Hannibal looked at you before gently taking the newspaper.
"That was foolish of me to leave that out." He said as you looked at him in shock.
"I thought...you weren't killing people anymore." You whispered, Hannibal looked into your eyes, his emotions impossible to read like always.
He reached forward and tucked a piece of hair behind your ear.
"I always enjoyed your innocence and loyalty, my darling." He said as you stated at him in betrayal.
"You...it was her wasn't it?" You whispered, tears forming in your eyes.
His hand moved to the back of your skull, gripping your hair.
"I don't expect you to understand."
You stared at him with wide unblinking eyes.
"You promised... You promised." You whispered as he smiled..
"I never made a promise, my dear. There's some things I need to do in order to protect you. I can see the defiance building in your eyes, the same as when you first came here, the same defiance that I had to...go to extreme measures to get rid of. Do you want to go back to that, Y/N?" He warned, his eyes and voice cold.
You stared at him, remembering the endless manipulation and abuse you had endured.
"I may treat you well now, but that can all go away depending on how you act right now. I care about you, darling. But, I can easily break you down into nothing again. I can remind you that I am not a loving partner but a killer who has conditioned you into the perfect companion. So, I suggest you choose how you react to this very carefully."
You were frozen in fear, staring into Hannibal's eyes, remembering the pain and fear you had been subjected to.
"I'm sorry." You whispered, looking into his eyes with desperation.
"I'm...upset that you lied to me and that you didn't care about what I wanted." You continued as he smiled and released his grip on your hair.
He held your cheek in his hand and leant forward.
"It doesn't matter what you want, Y/N. You are here to be mine and that is it, or have you forgotten?" He said.
You felt tears in your eyes as you looked at him.
"N-No... No I haven't." You whispered as he rubbed his thumb against your cheek.
"Good... Now, lay back down and forget about this conversation." He demanded as you nodded and slowly rested your head on his lap again, staring at the wall in thought.
"If I hear about this one more time I won't hesitate to leave you out in the cold, chained up like a mutt. Understood?" He asked, gently playing with your hair.
"Yes, I understand."
