CONTRACTS
After Remy and Anna had returned from a happy, uneventful trip, touring the city, Jean-Luc was sitting on the couch waiting for them. Anna excused herself so that she could go lie down and relax while the two of them talked.
"Dis 'bout dat contract?"
"Oui." Jean-Luc searched for the right words to say as Remy couldn't help a bad feeling coming over him.
"Mon fils, I can't do anythin' 'bout dis. Dey be right. Dose lawyers didn't add the clause for no killin' without us knowin' since da assassins threatened dem. We didn't know."
"So I have to marry her." Remy asked slowly, trying to comprehend this.
"Oui." Remy rolled his eyes and leaned into his chair.
"Even though Remy gonna end up dead."
"Oui." after a moment, Jean-Luc looked up at his son.
"Unless."
"Unless?"
"Oui, dere be somethin' in dere dat can help ya, just don't know if you willin'." Remy sat up in full attention.
"Anythin' be better, non."
"You have to marry somebody...above Belle. Somebody dat be from da assassins."
"So in order to not marry one psycho bitch, Remy got ta marry 'nother one?" Remy asked, laughing at himself, not believing his luck.
"Somethin' like dat."
"What good dat do Remy?"
"We already found somebody, if you wanna meet her."
"Whatever, do whatever mon pere. Ya always do." Remy told his father as he stood up and headed into the kitchen. But as soon as he entered the room, he found a familiar face sitting at the table.
Anna was upstairs lying down, trying to figure out what she was going to do. She was in love with a man who was about to be married to a woman who would try to kill him, and try to kill him if he ran. What kind of people are they? It's so weird, how she doesn't feel uncomfortable. It's almost normal, like she had been here before all of this had happened. She felt so comfortable with everyone here like she had known them forever or something. So familiar. Even Belladonna, she could have sworn that she had known her from somewhere, but hated her then too.
Anna laughed at the thought of that. How could that even be possible? To know these people and this life before she had ever come here. Boy was she stupid for ever believing Julien though. At least she made it though. Anna cleared her mind of all of these thoughts and slowly fell asleep. Little did she know that she was being watched as she fell asleep.
