Bloodshed: A Valeska twins story

Home Sweet Home

Jeremiah's POV~ 

I help Isabelle take her things from my car to her room. But as we step in front of my bunker home I turn to her, "Home sweet home." She smiles at my comment. "I really hope you like it here."

"I already do," She says as we step inside the bunker and make our way through to the bedrooms. 

"Your room will be right across from mine in case you ever need anything," I say before opening the door to reveal her room. I hope she likes it. As she steps into the room she smiles and looks in awe around the room. "I hope you like the room. If you want we can change it," I say as I set down all the stuff I was holding. Then I look over to her but she is still awestruck by the room and hasn't moved. I chuckle as I walk over and take the stuff she has in her hands and set them on her bed.

"NO! It's beautiful, " I hear her say behind me. Not as beautiful as you. "What?" I realize that I must have whispered that out loud. I quickly turn towards her again and smile awkwardly.

"Oh, nothing. I should leave you to get settled. If you need anything I'll be down the hall, the last door on your right." She nods in response before jump hugging me again. I barely catch her this time but when I do I bury my face in her hair and savor the moment. I feel her breath on my neck. I missed having her in my arms. I missed her. I missed everything about her.

"I missed you so much, Jeremiah," She whispered. That makes my heart skip. I pull back from her and look her in the eyes to see a tear roll down her cheek. I wipe it away still holding onto her with my other arm. Thank god she is small.

"I missed you too, darling," I whisper and place a kiss on both of her cheeks. That causes her to blush and me to smile. I slowly lower her back to the ground and take a step away from her.  "I should go get some work done. And you," I point at her smiling. "Should get unpacking," I say backing up towards the door.

She smiles again and walks with me to the door. "Miah," she says making me stop as I am going through the door. "Thank you again, for everything," She says before kissing my cheek making her and myself blush. With that, I force myself to go to my workroom even. Though, I feel I could stay with Isabelle all day and never get enough of her.

Once I made it to the room I walk over to my liquor station to pour myself a drink. Yes, I'm underage but I need it sometimes and I only have one drink every other day or unless I am stressed. I take a drink before I walk over to my blueprints and look over my work.

Isabelle's POV~ I look in awe around the beautiful purple room, my favorite color. "I hope you like the room. If you want we can change it," I hear Jeremiah say but I can't find the words to respond with. So I just continued to look around the room and see a vanity and a bathroom. Suddenly, I feel Jeremiah taking my things out of my hands. My gaze locks on him and watches him as he sets the things down on the bed.

  "NO! It's beautiful, " I say very quickly remembering his comment about the room.

"Not as beautiful as you," I thought I heard Jeremiah say. 

"What?" I ask referring to his comment. He turns around and smiles at me.

"Oh, nothing. I should leave you to get settled. If you need anything I'll be down the hall, the last door on your right," He says and I just nod my head in response. As I study his face I feel a pang in my chest. God, I've missed him so much. I don't even think before jump hugging him again.

  "I missed you so much, Jeremiah," I whispered into his neck. Jeremiah was always so gentle and kind to me. I am so thankful for him. I wish he never would have left me. I start to cry silently. Jeremiah pulls away slightly and looks me in the eyes and his eyes grow empathetic at the sight of me crying. He wipes away a tear that had fallen down my cheek before looking me in the eyes.

"I missed you too, darling," he whispers and places kisses on both my cheeks. This makes me blush and he smiles. Suddenly he starts to lower me to the ground gently and once I am safely on the ground he takes a step away from me. I immediately feel his warmth go with him and I want to wrap myself around him again. "I should go get some work done. And you," he points at me smiling. "Should get unpacking," he says backing up towards the door. I smile at him and start walking him towards the door. He turns and gives me one last smile before turning to the door.

"Miah," I feel myself say as he almost walks out of the door making him turn around again. "Thank you again, for everything," I say thinking of what to say next. I decide to just give him a kiss on his cheek causing the both of us to blush. Then he walks out of the room. Wow Isabelle, way to make things awkward. I sigh before closing the door and walking to my things to unpack.

As I start to put my clothes into the dresser I turn on the tv and some news reporters are talking about a woman named Barbara Kean being put into Arkham...where Jerome is. Why did you do it, Jerome? WHY? I start crying in frustration. I have to know. I will find out from the source himself. 

I'm going to visit Jerome...in Arkham.
