Jonathan's POV *DREAM*
"NATE!!"that annoying pericing voice abruptly snapped me out of my studies. "WHAT??!"
"COME HERE BOY!" I sighed and got up from my lodge position and made my way to him. I stopped at the top of the stairs and looked at him. "What?"I said clearly annoyed. "That's "Yes, sir" to you!"
"What do you want?" I said blankly. He continued without any further remarks "Where's my jacket?" He said while looking around.
"I don't know" I replied dryly then turned around to go back into my room. "I didn't say you could leave!!" I turned back around and looked at him with the most bored look I could manifest. "Stand right here" he pointed right where he was standing. "Why?"
"Because I said so!!" He snapped. I begrudgingly made my way to where he wanted me to stand. Our chest were almost touching "Wwwhatt?" I said slow,and with ugly dripping from it.
"Help me look for it" he said as he tried sooo hard to put some bass in his voice to scare me. "Bye" I began to walk back up stairs "YOU'RE AN UNGRATEFUL SPOILD BRAT!! That's what you are! AND I WANT YOU OUT!!"
"Oh I would absolutely looove to be put out of this hell-hole. But sadly we have something called "laws" and one of which states that I have to stay with you or at least you provide me with my needs until i'm the age of eighteen" I then smiled then began to walk away because I know I won this fight.
"I wish I never had you." He said trying to hurt me, which never works because however he's feeling, I'm feeling the exact same way towards him- I hate him. "If I could go back in time and not have sex or at least put you in adoption-I would."
"I rolled my eyes and turned back around to say something and was cut off "Don't say that!! And your jacket's right here" my mom said while handing it to him. "It was on the coat hanger" she said then smiled.
"The coat hanger??!" I said with sarcasm. "Shouldn't that have been the first place you looked??!" He ignored me and snatched it from my mom "dumbass" I whispered under my breathe. "WHAT WAS THAT??!" My mom put her hand on his and shook her head. "Just go" she said in a soft voice.
"AND YOU'RE LETTING HIM GET AWAY WITH IT??! WHAT KIND OF HOUSE ARE YOU RUNNING HERE?!" I rolled my eyes and went back up stairs. "HEY!! I DIDN'T SAY YOU COULD GO!!"
"FUCK OFF!" I shouted and closed my bedroom door.
I heard him shouting something. Probably arguing with mom again.
The sound of something being smashed made me jump, and was enough for me to fall back on my bed on my backside and pop in my earbuds.
I stared my door waiting for him to burst in my room,and try to fight me.
Something in my conscience told me to get up, I got up, and reached under my bed frame and felt around slowly for the knife I kept hidden away just in case of situations like this. My door started to open slowly my heart started to pound in my chest I jerked my hand around and finally found the knife, but not without cutting myself in the process. I held it in my domain hand,and took on a wide defensive stance and waited.
The door took its time opening, it finally reviled a terrified Jonathan. I threw the knife back under my bed, not bothering to put it back in its rightful place.
That was close.
Jonathan scanned around my room for me,and when he caught sight of me he ran to me with his hands cupped around his ears. "Loud" He said with a voice that could make a grown man cry. I held him close to me rocking him-letting him know that everything was going to be okay.
"Wake up Jonathan"
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
"Is a home really a home if your loved ones are gone??"
End of DREAM*
Antoinette woke being shaken violently.
She opened my eyes,and see him with a terrified look on his face with tears in his eyes.
Maybe he thought I was dead or something.
She sat up,and stretched, popping a few bones in the process. Usually when people sit up, they stop,but he just kept going.
"Don't touch me!"
He stopped,and crawled on her lap sitting facing her with his legs rapped around her waist, and his head buried right between her boobs.
She got up carefully making sure he didn't fall in the process. "Where are we" she mused to no one while walking around trying to look for a building or even someone.
Jonathan's grip around her neck tighten, it wasn't unbearably tight so it didn't bother her. He then looked up and glanced into the forest then hid his face away, again.
What's out there? She wondered looking in the direction he was looking. Even with her twenty-twenty vision she couldn't make out anything. The forest was thick.
She squinted her eyes,and looked as far as she could in the direction she heard voices for anyone. She faintly saw a figure of a being.
"Hello?"
The figure stopped moving ,and looked in her direction. "Hello...um I'm kinda lost. Could you help me? Please?" The figure did a 180 and walked in the opposite direction.
Wow..
"Well that's rude! DO YOU WANT MONEY?! I HAVE MONEY! LOTS OF IT!"
Jonathan popped his head up "No!" Her eyes snapped to him "What? "No?". He then put this head back in my neck, he just repeated what he said "No" this time softer.
She just ignored him,and started to head in that direction; he was probably doing that thing that little kids do-just keep saying "No",and never say why.
They walked or rather she walked in that direction until they came across a huge clearing. Wait how did I lose him?! She shrugged,and cut through the clearing. "Hey!"
Antoinette ignored him.
Why?
Because that fucker ignored her first! But she was the one lost after a few more steps she stopped and turned around, and shot him this killer glare,but it didn't seem to do phase him.
He then proceeded to walk up to them. She just stood there until he was about five feet away from me. "What?" She said while adjusting Jonathan into a more comfortable position.
He looked like a okay guy. He wore old worn out brown pants,and a navy blue tattered shirt.
I looked even further down- to my horror I saw him with dark blue sandals. That's so seven years ago.
"Do you know the way back to a main street?" He looked as if she were crazy. "What? Any highway or streets? You know what better yet.. where are we?" His once "nice guy" facadé vanished,and that genuine look turned into an ugly gruesome look.
He finally spoke, he had a deep voice "How old are you?" She narrowed my eyes at him-feeling uncomfortable by the question "nineteen... why?" He look up,and down her body-well as much as he could because Jonathan was blocking the way with lust. "Good, because what I'm thinking isn't illegal" he mumbled.
She opened her mouth in shock,and disgust. "Ewww" and turned around slowly,and started to head back in my original direction. "Hey, hold it right there!" she completely ignored what he was saying,and kept walking.
Suddenly he appeared in front of her. "Ohhh", she said lowly while taking a few steps back.
"A little girl like you shouldn't be out here all alone." When he took a step closer she would take two steps back
"Okay, one I am not a little girl so you can get that straight in your mind right now. Second I am CLEARLY not alone I have Jonathan with me." He said nothing he only continued to walk towards her, and his smile now growing even more on his face.
"Ok, if it money you want-my parents have PLENTY. Just help us and they'll pay you.."
Antoinette grew up in the limelight so people blackmailing her is nothing new.
"How abouttt.." he started when all of a sudden four other beings fell and dropped down in front of them. Their entire was nothing like Netty had never seen before she could decide wether that or the fact that they fell from the heavens were more surprising.
She took a few steps back when she bumped into something and the next thing she knew her hands were being tired behind her back and her ankles bound.
They first guy starting whispering to another, he stopped briefly to look at her over his shoulder. Ok RED FLAG. He stalked his way up to Netty and crouched down, "you're gonna make us rich, girly".
Who says "girly"?!
"Who are your parents anyway?" She was taken aback for a second. Did he not know who she was, or was he playing with her? I mean she is THE Antoinette!
After telling them their names they looked at each other in confusion for a second then dropped it.
On their way to, wherever they were taking her
Poor Johnathan was in a ball holding his ears when one of the guys easily threw his over his shoulder not bothering to even tie him up.
The walk or rather the carry over there was…horrible. Just terrible.
The men had nothing better to do than to take shit about their boss. Apparently he's skipped out on a few of his underlings pay checks a few times. Not only that but rumor has it he has actually sold out a few of them to a guy for experimentation.
Freaky
As it started to get dark they started to debate on wether they should set up camp for the night or try to continue on foot.
They decided to set up for tonight.
Instead of setting her down, he just threw her off his back. She landed on her arm.
Ouch
"DUDE! Come on.." He gripped her hair and tilted her head to look at him. "We make the rules here. Little girl…"
"You'll get your money. I can tell you all soo desperately need it..broke ass". He smacked her.
He really smacked her!
Never in her entire life has anyone ever put hands on her.
The men changed the subject to talk about scrolls. What world are they living in?
Somewhere while Netty was in shock Johnathan made his way other times her, to confront her.
"He hit me!" Is all she could think about.
"This is useless!" One yelled and threw the scroll at their direction. Johnathan grabbed it and started to read from it happily to her. "He hit me!"
He tapped her to get attention, but she was in too deep. He continued to tap her and read to her.
"Hey..kid. Can you read that?" Johnathan only looked at the man and answered in Arabic. "Hey fellas! He can translate this!" The other guys gathered around which made him nervous.
"He can only speak Arabic! He can't translate it, now leave him alone!"
"Well what about you? Can you read it?"
She glared daggers at him "…somewhat. I can understand it better than I can read it…"
"Huh.."
———————————————————————————
Netty woke up to someone throwing her over their shoulder, which it knocked the wind out of her chest.
"Why are everyone jerks?!"
The walk there was about another hour and a half hours. This may be a shocker but Netty has never been in a forest before. She's been in the city all her life and the only thing she's been in that was even remotely like a forest was when she shit the scene to a move in a makeshift forest.
The real forest grossed her out.
They made it to a town right at the coast. The dock was filled with boat and fishermen and so forth.
They eventually made it to a house, a huge one at that. It wasn't that fascinating but she could tell he has money and that's one thing that caught her attention.
Instead of using the front door, they used the back entrance.
It was a dungeon..a literal dungeon. Like the ones you see on t.v. She was tossed in there and hit the stone floor hard. "Well could you at least untie me?!" She snapped. He eyed her for a second and pulled out an odd looking knife and cut her free.
"Master Tenzen Daikoku could be back in a few days so…make yourself at home" he laughed and clouded the door with a snap.
At this point she was emotional. She wanted a shower, better yet she wanted to go home…but a shower first.
She crawled into the corner and started to cry.
Johnathan walked over to her and started holding her, even though she hates it when people touch her she really needed a hug right about now.
"Where are we..?" All she got was a crooked smile in return.
———————————————————————————
Netty might not be too likable but this is a coming of age story. She has a change of heart…eventually xD
