Hannibal's untold story: Hannibal's daughter

(8) Break up

It was dark outside, Hannibal hadn't left the bedroom all day and it was just me and James. We were watching TV about a series I didn't even know existed.

I ate some more popcorn and I was startled by James laughter.
"Jeez" I said, feeling my heart racing.
"I'm think I'm going to bed" I yawned as I stood up to look at James.
"Oh okay. Goodnight, but do you know what your doing tomorrow?" James asked me as he stood up. I looked at him in confusion.
"You do know you can't stay here. Right?" James pointed at me when he asked me that. I chuckled as I was walking away.
"I know we need to leave, I just don't know when" I informed him. I slumped up the stairs, fatigued. I opened the bedroom door to see Hannibal was asleep in bed. I didn't have any other clothes so I had to sleep in what I was in. I got into bed with him and he was fast asleep, I felt a little bad when I saw his face. I rolled over so I didn't have to see his face then I dozed off.

I opened one eye to see Hannibal was gone and I sat up, itching my scalp. I looked around the room and there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I shouted.
"James!" His voice was muffled from the door separating us.
"Come in" I sat up right and adjusted the pillows. He peered his head around the corner and smiled at me. I ran my fingers through my hair and puffed up the pillows.
"Hey. Morning" I smiled to him. He entered the room and revealed a cup of coffee to me, my face lit up with glee and I clasped my hands together in anticipation. James grinned at my face as he walked over and sat beside me. He held out the coffee to me and I took it out his hands, gracefully. I took in a gulp of my steaming hot cup, the coffee sliding down my throat to my stomach felt heavenly and I let out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks... how's Wayne?" I asked James. He looked at me and he looked back at the door.
"He seemed okay with me, he's downstairs eating some fancy looking meal out of all the junk from my fridge" James chuckled and bit his lip.
"Sounds like him" I responded, sipping more of my scrumptious coffee. James suddenly - but gently - took the coffee cup out my hands and placed it on the nightstand.
"That was an excuse to come up and see you" James informed me. I raised an eyebrow at him, he looked over at me and he placed his hands on my waist and pulled me close to him, close enough to kiss my neck. He nibbled on it gently but he did it poorly.

"James, what? Stop!" I pushed him off me but he seemed a little down. I pulled a disgusted look at him and I slapped him across his face. I stood up to escape him but he grabbed me and threw me back onto the bed. He began to unbuckle his pants and I kicked and screamed.
"HANNIBAL!" I screamed. James pulled a confused look. I forgot that he was called Wayne around James.
"Just let me have this! Repay me for saving you" he cried out as he tried to get into my pants. I used my knee to hit him in the stomach and he let out a gasp.
It wasn't even to stop him. He gripped onto my arm and he crawled on top of me. I thought this was it, I was scared and my mind had many thoughts but suddenly he stopped struggling and his mouth dripped blood.
"Ugh" he could only get out his mouth that was filling up with more and more blood that dripped onto me. I used this chance to get away from him, once I was away from him I saw Hannibal was above him and he dived hunters knife into his neck. Hannibal twisted it then pulled it out and James fell dead onto his bed. I covered my mouth as I gasped and my eyes filled with tears. Hannibal dropped the knife and hurried to me with open arms. I walked to him but I fell on my own feet from shaking too much. He saved me from my fall and hugged me tightly. I couldn't cry, I was just in shock. I felt vulnerable and weak and I hated this feeling, it reminded me of when I was 16 and clueless. I dug my head into my shoulder and Hannibal whispered to me.
"It's okay, I have you" he promised me. I felt my balance coming back and I smiled at the comfort of Hannibal.
"Thank you, thank you" I repeated to him countless times.
"I won't let anyone ever hurt you, kitten" he reminded me. I laughed with happiness and I gripped onto him even more.
"We must leave now, however" he informed me as he let me go. We both looked at James body then each other.
"What now?" I asked.
"We leave" he informed me.
