Hannigram

Chapter 21

When Hannibal's parents returned from their work trip they didn't really seem to mind that both Will and Hannibal were now sleeping in the same bed. And that they had decorated an entire room on their food budget as well as some of Hannibal's savings.

They all sat around the dinner table one night when Wills phone began to ring. He excused himself from the table and went to answer it up in his room. He noticed that the caller ID was unknown, but still answered it. "Hello" he said as he put the phone to his ear. At first he thought there wasn't anyone on the other end until he heard a deep breathing. Unsure of what to do he said "Hello?" again. This time his voice more shaky. There was still no reply so he hung up and chalked it up to the wrong number. 

When he joined the meal again Hannibal asked "Who was that?" Will shrugged "I think it was a wrong number" They went on with dinner like nothing had happened. Will helped Mrs Lector to tidy up before going for a shower. When he returned to his room he saw Hannibal was changing into his nightwear. Will smiled at him through the mirror he was stood in front of him and began to change himself. When he put his phone on charge, he saw that he had 3 missed calls all from the same number so he decided to call them back just in case it was important. It went straight to voicemail so he thought nothing of it and went to bed.

In the morning he was awoken by his dogs who were wining to get outside. Will begrudgingly got up and let them out before climbing back into bed. He was once gain awoken an hour later by the dogs barking. This woke Hannibal up as well who went down outside with Will to find out what the dogs were barking at. When the entered the back garden they saw the dogs barking at the hedge which ran down onside of the grass. Will was confused and walked to the are to see if he could chase away what they were barking at but by the time he got there the dogs had stopped barking and were just looking at Will.  "Weird" he mumbled because he saw nothing through the hedge except for the neighbors garden. He looked to Hannibal and shook his head before walking back inside with him. "I will make breakfast" Hannibal said pulling out a pan and putting it on the oven.

Shortly after they sat down to eat they were joined by his mother and father. "We are going out food shopping today. Is there any thing we can get you?" they asked with spooning eggs and bacon onto their plates. Hannibal just requested some orange juice and Will wanted some deodorant. When they left Will turned to Hannibal "I need to tell you something. Very important" He said while rubbing his hands together nervously. Hannibal noticed this and placed his own hands on top of Wills to try to help calm him. "And i will listen" Hannibal said leading them into the front room. Will sat of the sofa, legs crossed, facing Hannibal. "When i first saw my mother body" His voice hitched "It was like i went back in time" Hannibal looked slightly confused and urged Will to go on "I watched my mother be killed. It was weird" Will said. Hannibal nodded "When you zoned out, was that what was happening? You were watching your father kill your mother?" Hannibal questioned. Will shook his head. "It was more like I was the one doing the killing part. I even explained what was happening to myself" Will felt tears going down his face before he violently ribbed them away. Hannibal pulled Will into a tight hug. He wanted to take away Wills pain, he just didn't know how.

Hannibal and Will spent the rest of the day with the curtains drawn, watching the Harry Potter movies and not talking about what Will thought no matter how much Hannibal wanted to know. He knew it must have been awful for Will and didn't want him to feel even worse than he did already. It had been a while since his mothers death but it still seemed to affect Will badly. Hannibal had suggested that he talked to his dad or mother as they could both help Will through his problems but Will didn't want help from somebody whom he was so close with but yet he still refused help from any other person he met. Hannibal didn't want to push him for fear he would push him away.

Will spent most of his day sitting in the back garden enjoying the sun in the last few days of the summer holidays. He wasn't ready to be back in sixth form, especially as he had not completed any of his holiday homework yet and it was only about 4 days until he returned to the hell hole which provided his mandatory education. He grumbled as he stood up not wanting to go back inside to start his work so he decided to bring his laptop and work books back outside and sit on the table which was placed by the side of the wooden shed. This shed provided shade from the afternoon sun so it was perfect for sitting in for some time while he worked. He also decided that before he started to work, it would be better for him to have fresh snacks. So inside he went once again and got some water melon and strawberries, he wanted to be healthy and he thought that fruit would give him a feeling of freshness. He placed the bowl of fruit on the table beside his books and sat down. After 10 minutes he had gotten bored and went inside to get a drink. 

Will knew he was avoiding his problems once again so he called for Hannibal. "Will you please lock the backdoor" Will said when Hannibal walked into the kitchen. He was wearing denim shorts and a white t-shirt while he hair stuck slightly to his forehead from sweat because of the summer heat. "Why?" Hannibal questioned, he wasn't sure whether he wanted to be safe or maybe he was going slightly mad. "I need to do my work but I keep finding reasons to come inside and avoid it" Will continued on "I need to be locked out o the only thing i have to do is my work" Hannibal nodded, pushed Will outside with little force and shut the door behind him with a little laugh and walked away to carry on with his business. 

Will stayed outside till after sunset and he'd finished all his coursework and only had two essays to finish. He stood from his spot and nearly fell down again because his legs had gone numb from the lack of movement. He laughed at himself for being so dense and walked around a bit to try to regain feeling in his legs. His eyes wondered to the hedge row and something caught his eye. There was several red dots hidden in the leaves, Will walked closer to the bush and stuck his hand inside and grabbed the source of the red dot. When he pulled it out he was shocked to find a camera in his hand. Will panicked and moved the red dot a sick feeling in his throat and he removed yet another camera. He wanted to throw up as he removed another three cameras from the hedge. He ran to backdoor slamming his hands on it begging to be let back in. "Will?" Mt Lector said as he unlocked the door and Will barged in "What is the matter?". Will said nothing, his breath was rapid and uneven. He threw the cameras to the floor and paced the kitchen. Hannibal came rushing in once he heard the clatter of the cameras hitting the tiled floor.

"Whats going on?" he said as he watched Will pace as his father picked up the cameras and inspected them. He two was shocked and Will took one look at Mr Lectors face. Seeing him looked shocked and scared too made him panic even more. "WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" Will shouted before falling to his knees, breathing rapidly.
