Note to Readers that this chapter is informational in terms of Lunetta's final realization on Vaas and Hoyt's aspect during this time period. Also, the first chapter took place on Valentine's day of this year (2016) so yes to those who have PM me about it, this takes place in the future.
Time line is at the bottom.
Chapter 7
Lunetta woke up early the next day, Vaas and her had another love session before watching that movie he was talking about in which she eventually fell asleep. She assumed Vaas had no work since he was still in bed and chose to tend to some things around his room. It was still as it was five years ago, excluding the beer bottles and there were plenty more posters on the wall than before. She picked up some the trash on the floor and put it in the garbage bin at the corner of the room.
She dressed herself in the clothes Vaas had removed from her, this time putting on a sports bra under the saggy tank he so nicely allowed her to wear. She decided laundry was a sufficient thing to start with aside from the fact that the concrete floor needed to be swept and the dust on the oak dresser and end table needed to be cleaned off. She grabbed Vaas's clothes off the floor along with the similar clothes he wore the day before yesterday, then her clothes and she carried them out of the room. Still being careful not to wake him as she went out the door.
She decided to check on Raiza, who was still asleep in her bed, then she left to go to wherever she thought laundry was done. She went out to the beach first still carrying a significantly large pile of clothes and she laid them down in the sand. She just assumed that for now she would wash them and then hang them up to dry on one of the fences leading up to the compound. She first started with her clothes, the red dress she wore the night she came here and the underwear and panties that surprisingly weren't torn.
She then went to Vaas's shirts laying each wet article of clothing out in the sand then she went to his pants. She lifted up the older pair and started with that one first, then the ones he wore yesterday. She paused when she felt that there were items in the first pocket and went to retrieve them, but then she saw what they were. She saw a package of condoms, obviously she saw him take one out last night, a pill bottle, and... His ring. Why didn't he have his ring with him?
She was contemplating whether or not she should confront him about it and it wasn't like they loved each other or anything. Really she thought the whole reason they married was so that they could be near one another when they needed to be, particularly for sex. She never thought that five years ago on this same beach she would fall in love with him and then a couple weeks later fuck him, she didn't even think sex was necessity, but thinks to him it had become a necessity.
She then lifted up the pill bottle and read over exactly what it was for, her entire emotional and mental thought process went black the moment she read the word "abortion'. She pushed herself up from her knees onto her feet and grabbed the clothes she had washed, then she went back to the compound and found a fence to rest them on near Vaas's warehouse. She didn't think anything when she did this, she went straight to their room, having not felt any emotion until she saw him awake on the bed and staring up at the ceiling.
She held the two items tightly in her hands, clinging to them like the pain that she had clung to for years. He angled his head up, propping it up and the pillow and smiling at her.
"Where were you?" She didn't reply, instead walking over to the end table on his side of the bed and placing the pills down with the ring. She suddenly felt like marrying him wasn't such a good idea, she didn't know why he wanted to marry her... What was so special about a woman who had no family and took care of a girl that wasn't even hers? What was more pitiful?
He stared at the items she placed down and watched as she sat down on the edge of the bed beside him, he thought that she was reacting quite unexpectedly to this discovery of hers, he knew that she knew now and that at least bu her reaction there will be no problem with it. He placed a hand on her back and caressed his fingers in circles, waiting for her to lay down her thoughts.
"What do you think of me Vaas? You could have any woman you want and you chose me." He groaned exasperation as though he had had this conversation many times before, he sat up and leaned in to kiss her cheek, but she moved away. His jaw tensed at the sight of this, he could see that she was disgusted with him.
"What is it? You don't like me now?" He rose his voice in aggravation and grabbed the pill bottles off the end table. "If you get fucking pregnant we need a contingency plan."
"You could have just told me! I don't want kids either!" She stood up and crossed her arms, biting the inside of her left cheek.
"So you are telling me that if you get pregnant you aren't gonna fucking freak out and ask to keep the little Rat?!" He tossed the sheets off of himself and the battle flew over his shoulder. He stood up from the bed approaching her as if to draw her in, she wouldn't allow this fight to end as it had seemed to always end.
"They aren't Rats Vaas, they are human beings and you used to be one to." Vaas sarcastically laughed.
"A human? Or a Kid?"
"A kid! Who said anything about you not being human?!" He rose his hands up and smirked, but obviously his irritation had gotten the best of him.
"I'm not human baby, I'm a monster. You got to accept the fact that you are a monster to, we are the same." She pushed him into the bed.
"Fuck you Vaas." She turned to walk away, but he had grabbed her arm and pulled her into a rough kiss, she placed her hands on his chest and pushed as hard as she could. She hadn't fought in a while, if she were to fight him now he would undoubtedly win, but she really had no choice. His lips traveled to her neck as her fingers tried to find every pressure point she knew. "Let me the fuck go!" She brought her knee up straight to his bare groin, swollen out of hopes that they would eventually end up in bed. Lunetta didn't know what it was like to get hit directly in the nuts with no clothing to protect them whatsoever because she didn't have nuts, but by the look on Vaas's face she could see that he was in horrible pain.
She felt a pang of guilt, perhaps she was a bit over hysterical about this whole thing, he was her husband after all, but then she told herself not to be such a weak bitch about this, he deserved what he had coming, he needed to learn who was in charge. Perhaps people who tend to be leaders don't belong together because neither of them will ever accept submission. She stepped away from him, his hands holding the sack residing below his shaft and he was on his knees groaning in pain, she grabbed the ring he had given her and threw it down on the floor.
"I never should have married you, you act like I am your possession and I am not, Vaas. " He placed a hand on the bed, the other still cupping the soreness of his manhood, he attempted to pick himself up, but he could barely feel his legs he was in so much pain. "Don't worry about seeing me again because I am not coming back." He picked up his hands from the water bed and pointed it at her, trying his best to hide the pain and show an angry look.
"Don't you dare fucking walk away! You promised you wouldn't leave!"
"I have every reason to leave." She grabbed a pair of boots and was out the door, trying to be quick since she didn't know how long her hit would keep him down. She ran into Raiza's room waking her up with panicked pushes and shoves, she was in a brown t-shirt and board shorts.
"Come on we have to go!"
"What's going on?!" Raiza shouted back, she stood up from the bed and put on her flip flops and just as the two exited to run down the stairs, Vaas stormed out of his room in pair of boxers with his pistol hanging lazily from his other hand.
"Get the fuck back here Luna! I am gonna fucingk put a bullet in your ass you little bitch!" She urged Raiza to go faster, they slid open the red door and rushed out, Pirates staring at them with confusion as they sprinted through the compound. Vaas exited out of the warehouse and stepped down the slope, he was walking as though no rush was necessary.
"Lunetta Montenegro! Get your ass back here!" He was bright red with anger and rage, he stopped walking when he saw them leave out the compound entrance, his chest heaved and he growled out angrily shooting twice into the air, then shooting a nearby pirate and killing him.
"Somebody clean this shit up!" He threw the gun down onto the ground and stomped back to the warehouse.
Lunetta and Raiza continued to run towards the shore, there were no boats around for them to take back to the main island. She fell into the sand, her knees burying into the albino specks. She stared off into the sunrise for what must had been the hundredth time in her life, her eyes shimmered in its light. Raiza sat down beside her, hands shaking and tears festering in her eyes. She grabbed Lunetta's hand and wove her fingers in hers.
"What happened?"
"Nothing." Lunetta stated firmly, Raiza could never know about what he does, she didn't know why she could tell Raiza... She just couldn't. "We need to swim."
"You aren't serious?
"I can't stay on this island Raiza."
"W-What about sharks?"
"Just stay with me..." Lunetta stood up and guided her towards the water's surface, when they were submerged they began to swim. It would take an hour to get to the main island at the pace they were going, but Lunetta couldn't... She was running again, running because she didn't know what to do.
Vaas entered his room, he slammed the door behind him and stood there. He stood there with his hands on his hips looking around the room, he noticed that their dirty clothes were missing, that some of the trash on the floor was gone and that his room looked much. Cleaner. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, he noticed the ring glinting from the sun that bled in from the window. He walked over to it, bending over and picking it up from the floor.
He stared at the ring suddenly feeling a great amount of regret. He really did hate her... But he loved her just as much.
"Fuck..." He threw the ring carelessly over his shoulder and in one stride walked over to the dresser, ripping out every drawer, pulling out every item; whether it be porn mags, clothes, condoms, and drugs. He tore the room apart, screaming obscenities in his native language and kicking the concrete walls despite being barefoot. Outside of the room astthe bottom of the stairs stood Benny, contemplating whether or not he should tell them that the two women had began swimming out to the main island, that they had escaped. He immediately decided against it when he heard a loud bang, most likely the spare gun Vaas kept between the mattresses.
Benny knew Vaas wasn't dumb enough to kill himself, he also knew that Vaas was angry and he did things when he was angry.
"Motherfucker! Fucking Stupido Puta y sus poca perra!" Benny turned and sped hastily out of the warehouse.
Hoyt Volker was a man of many things, but the one thing he wasn't was a very good father. He held the necklace Lunetta had thrown down onto the table half a decade ago and pondered, just for a moment, what his life would be like had he never expanded his business from local to international. He remembered Brazil and how seemingly perfect his life had been, he had a beautiful pregnant wife, a young son, and a drug cartel, what more could a man like have asked for? It was simple a man like him would never stop asking for things. He reminded himself the whole reason he even came to Rook islands was because he wanted a better life for his family, but that was before he had left his son in Brazil and sent his wife away to the North island of the Rooks. That reminder was a lie and he knew it better than anyone else, he split his family apart because it was much easier to run the business alone then with several other mouths to feed. It was selfish of him, but his father had taught him better than to dwell on other's feelings.
Hoyt Volker, whether he liked it or not, was growing old and although his daughter had proven to be quite strong, she would never accept the business from him. His eldest heir, Damian on the other hand he hadn't seen in years, but had worked up a reputation by himself in Brazil as a wealthy slave trader and drug dealer. Although not as infamous as the Volker name allowed him to be, Hoyt was proud that his son had lived up past his expectations.
That was when Hoyt had sent for his son to take a private jet to the island, a few days on vacation wouldn't have hurt him. Hoyt wasn't foolish to give up the business so early, he was forty-three and still fairly young, he had plenty of his life ahead of him. But there was the evident fact that he was growing old and needed someone to trust after his death. He had considered Vaas, but couldn't risk his business going into the hands of an impulsive and over baring buffoon; in other words Vaas partied and joked too much for his own good, not the good of the business.
So his son was to arrive soon and hopefully Hoyt would get a chance to bond with him despite them not having seen each other since he was about the age of... Well Hoyt didn't really remember and perhaps his son was too young to remember either. The Volker family came about in a very complex manner to be honest, not that the Volker family was very honest at all.
It started in 1967 when Hoyt was born in Joannesburg, Africa. His father had fallen in love with a poor whore from a nearby town of the iron works he had worked at. Hoyt was raised there for seven years until his father died or in truth was killed and his mother had taken him away to Salvador, Brazil. Hoyt never really bonded with his father much when he was young, but praised the man none the less due to the thoughtful words his father gave him every morning. When Hoyt was eleven his mother had died leaving him alone with no guardian and money to fend for himself. He turned to working for the local drug cartel, there the leader Cortez Mahoné had taken him under his wing and taught him his ways. Cortez died when Hoyt was fifteen, but before his death had made sure that Hoyt would resume business as usual in his place. One year later he met a beautiful young woman by the name of Marisol Rodrigo. He had never thought he could love anything more precious, two months into their relationship they conceived Damian in which they married the very next day. A couple years later, Hoyt had grown restless with his business and was looking for more possible locations to test his limits. He somehow came across Rook Islands and convinced pregnant Marisol into leaving there child so that they may continue on into Rooks. He said it was only for Damian's safety and so they left him with a young couple who's male worked well in Hoyt's cartel.
When they made it to the island Hoyt got to work with his ever growing business, he eventually decided it would be best if Marisol took refuge on the North island. Only to make him happy she accepted, then followed a fake husband as cover and Lunetta was born a week later. Everything had happened so fast, but Hoyt had grown his empire to pure amazement through his eyes.
A decade or two later and here he stood as a powerful tyrant amongst men, a powerful God. He had made his mistakes, but did not regret them. He placed the talisman on his desk before him and a tiny simper crept onto his face, it was an evil smile. Moments later he heard a knock at the double doors of his office and looked up, that evil smile turned into a grin. It was then realized that Vaas wasn't the evilest thing in the world, there were more evil things... Demon things...
"Come in." The handle of the door slowly turned.
Okay so in explanation of this chapter according to dates, here is how it should go:

2012: Farcry 3 events are supposed to take place, but do not due to my story line.

So hopefully this gives you an idea of what's going on and how I explained the Volker family recipe. :)
