I am unsure if I have Earnhardt's story right, but for this one I will make him an AU like character to where he isn't as crazy and this is just when he arrived at Rooks and Vaas caught the old man.

Chapter 24: Bad Dreams

"WHAT IS FUCKING WRONG WITH HER, AGAIN?" I yelled so loudly, that I am sure my voice echoed through the depths of the island not far from this one, the darkness engulfed us and I could only partially see the face of the doctor before me. Bella rested in my arms, she was sobbing, but as before didn't answer and didn't even open her eyes to look at me. That fucking Doctor I found on the edge of the beach was sitting in his cage calmly, but slightly nervous, sitting with his knees bent and his elbows on his knees. His hair was a dark grey, slicked back, his eyes a bright blue, and his complexion full of wrinkles and unsightly hairs, a mole protruding from his chin. Dry lips from the lack of clean water I give him and thin structure from the lack of food. He wore a long sleeve green button up shirt, that tucked into jeans, which in turn tucked into dress shoes.
"She... Is having a Severe Nervous Breakdown, Vaas."
"In other fucking words, Doc! What do I need to give to her?!" He sighed and shook his head, I didn't deserve this, Bella didn't deserve this, why would she be in shock anyways? All I did was punch her, I am sure she has handled worse. Maybe she was shocked that I hadn't killed Buck, that was a mistake on my part... At least he's dead now. It was Hoyt's idea to keep him alive after all and make that deal, however killing Pai was not my intention, if I hadn't I would have to kill Mirabella, Hoyt told me and I couldn't kill her.
"There is no medication that would do any good for her Va-"
"Stop calling me out by my fucking NAME! Or I will fucking put a bullet in your head!"
"Then you won't know how to make her better!" He shouted back at me with gritted teeth, I wanted to make her better, she needed me, just as much as I needed her, and as much as I hated this guy, he is going to help me get her better and then hopefully I cannot screw up again.
"What do I do?" She continued to sob, the tears starting to soak into my tank top, I brushed my hands through her hair, she shook every time my skin made contact with hers.
"Try to calm her, this could take days, maybe weeks, or more depending on how severe it is, to overcome. She won't be able to do certain things and she must be watched at all times. I suggest water and that alone, until she is ready to eat on her own." I couldn't do everything he just said, I loved Bella, but I was a busy man, I had obligations, things that needed tending to. At the end of the day I would return here, but I need someone that I knew would take care of her... Not Benny, he almost fucking got her killed, that still won't go unpunished.
"Okay, old man... I will make a deal with you. Take care of her when I am away and I will let you live to see another day." I intentionally rhymed to add to the mind fucking portion of this conversation, since he was still a worthless captive.
"Why me?"
"One, I can't trust my men, Two, your a doctor, Three, because I fucking said you would and if you don't I will kill you, and finally four, I am a busy man. Take care of her, anything you need will be given to you then, just make sure she is better by next week and you are free to roam this island as you wish with my blessing, okay?" The silence that followed annoyed me, that answer wasn't that easy motherfucker, he knew I needed him to do this and for that he would use it against me.
"Okay, but I want things in turn as well."
"Hmm... How bout your fucking life?" The Doctor gulped and nodded his head."Sounds good." I sighed, staring down at her, tonight I would spend with her and in the morning I will come and get the doctor. Benny and I have business to take care of at Pirate's cove, I will return and everything will go well. I walked her back to the warehouse, resting her on the bed, I grabbed a cigarette, shoving the used syringe to the side. I laid down beside her after discarding my shirt and lit the cigarette that was her by my lips.
Mirabella grabbed the bundle of covers, she curled up into a ball resting them over her body. I sucked in the smoke from the cigarette before exhaling, I stared down at her, tears streaming down her cheeks, her lips trembled, and her skin was cold as I brushed my fingertips over her soft skin.
"Bella... Can you hear me?" She scooted away from me, what the fuck was wrong with her? For real. "Bella, you really need to stop being a bitch." I heard her whimper loudly, her leg extending out and kicking mine, I growled, the cigarette nearly falling out of my lips. "What the fuck Bella?!" I hit her back, forgetting that she was in fact sick and didn't acknowledge what she was doing. She hit me back... Maybe she knew exactly what she was doing, I hit her in the arm harder, she yelped and scooted off the mattress a bruise forming on her arm."Fuck Bella! That was your fault Bitch!" Nothing again, I couldn't tell if she was ignoring me, or was actually undergoing a nervous breakdown. I was going to stick with the latter option, I turned on my side, my back to her I threw the cigarette from my mouth and fell asleep with the image of her in my head. All I wanted to do was fuck her, this wouldn't have happened if she just gave in. I have been nice, I have been waiting for her, but no... She had to be stubborn, she had to be a bitch.

Mirabella's POV

"What if I get pregnant?" It was an awkward question, but I didn't want to get pregnant yet and I am sure he didn't want me pregnant either.
"Don't worry baby, I can pull out, I'm not using a condom for you, you aren't a whore." Well, why thank you for being so kind about it Vaas. That was what he did the first time, but it was unexpected, he didn't want to pull out, thankfully he did by accident or else I would have been pregnant. "After this I will put you on the pill, okay?" He obviously noticed my worry, but didn't care and shoved his full length into me, causing me to yelp, my nails digging into the skin on his shoulders.
He pumped at a fast speed in and out of me before taking my lips between his teeth. He held no restraint and... I liked it, the pain he caused at my inner thighs was a perfect mix with the pleasure of hitting me at the perfect spot. I moaned into his lips, his tongue shooting out to touch mine. I bit down on his tongue in turn, my nails scratching up and down his back, blood smearing across his skin. He growled, pulling from my lips, he bit hard into the crook of my neck, hard enough for blood to squirt into his mouth, he lapped at the fiery wound, moving back to my lips so I could taste my blood. I moved my arms to wrap around his neck, kissing hard against his lips.
He started to slow down, but I wanted more, more, mORE, MORE. I wove my legs around his waist and he grunted, spinning me around onto my belly while still inside of me, my legs ripping from his waist. He continued to push in and out of me, I curved my back down and buried my face into the pillows to cover my yelps and whimpers for him to continue, to go harder. He grabbed a was of my hair and yanked me up so that my back was against his chest and he continued to bury inside me, I turned my head slightly, his hands caressing my smooth stomach. He kissed me on the lips, still rocking his hips against mine.
"Vaas." I moaned as he thrusted hard and then pulled out slow before thrusting hard again. "Fuck me faster." He pushed me back down and continued at a faster pace meeting my demands. I felt that familiar feeling, that he created before, that he was creating now.
"Oh god, I'm going to orgasm."
"YES BABY, Cum for me. Cum on my cock." I felt his sweaty chest on my back, he kissed my spine before he bit down hard on my skin, I moaned, his tongue licking up the blood that slid from the bite.
"Vaas, I'm- so close." He then flipped me over again and kissed me hard, while grabbing a breast and flicking at the nipple. He pulled away, grabbing my chin, his head fell back and he groaned.
"Fuck baby, I can't hold it!" He shouted, I moaned that final burst hit me so unexpectedly, I yelped, he stared down at me with a small look of satisfaction filling my insides clench around him, his body spasmed, but he never pulled out, he was lost in ecstasy as was I, he came inside me, I felt his warmth spreading inside me... It sent hovers through my body.
He collapsed over me, he stuck his head in the crook of my neck. "Mi Bella hermosa..."
"Vaas, you said you would pull out?" I breathed out, he chuckled. Why was that even important at this point? I can always take a pill, right?
"I think it's for the best that I didn't." Everything blacked out and when the light shone I then stood off in the distance as I stared out at Vaas, the whining that echoed in my ears came from the baby in my arms. Vaas held his gun out at the faces of my parents, they sat on their knees pleading and begging for their life's. He smirked as he shot them one bullet at a time, then turned to look up at me, I blinked once, he was then in front of me. Covered in blood, a dead Jessica on the ground behind him, I gasped the Baby slipped through my hands and I fell back, tears streaming down my cheeks. My eyes closed on me and when I opened them, there was a silence, I was laying on that mattress in Vaas's room.
I sat up, groaning in pain as I sat up, my head spun, the room was lit by the small neon blue lights that hung from the ceiling. I stared around, my throat was dry, my stomach growled. I looked to my left and saw an unfamiliar man, grey hair, blue eyes, he looked to be in his golden years, he didn't wear the attire of a pirate either. He held a book in his hand, glasses on that made his eyes look quite bigger than average. He stared at me, his lips slightly parted.
"Your awake. How are you feeling?" I didn't know this man, but he must have had some reason as to why I was unconscious. The last thing I remember seeing was Vaas hovering over me and then nothing, Vaas must have knocked me out. He must know what happened, was he a friend of Vaas? If so then I couldn't trust him, Vaas had betrayed me, he had lost my trust just as fast as he had thought he had gotten it.
That dream I had, I couldn't control what was happening, what I was doing, and I didn't understand any of it. What had happened in the beginning would never happen in real life? Vaas broke my heart... Again. I groaned bringing a hand up to massage my throbbing temple.
"I don't feel so well. What happened?"
"You had a nervous breakdown... Are you hungry?" I had a nervous breakdown? No surprise, I had been through so much that it had to happen at some point in time.
"Yes." He reached in a basket behind him and threw me an apple, I caught it and stared at it for a moment before looking up at him.
"That should do for now."
"How long-"
"Three days." He interrupted, I closed my eyes, my shaky hand still massaging my temple.
"It felt like-"
"Just a regular nap, yep... That's how it happens. I'm surprised you hadn't woken up a few times or at least woken up a bit earlier. Surprisingly you weren't in lucid state. It seems that your mind wouldn't allow it."
"I had a lot on my mind." He closed his book and beamed me a friendly smile.
"I'm sure you did." I sighed falling back to lay down again, I took a bite of the apple. The taste exploding on my tongue, oh how much I must have missed this, three days?
"Where's Vaas?" I asked in between chews swallowing the bite. I swear the next time I see him, he will die... Or get hurt, I still couldn't kill him, no matter what, I wasn't going to kill anyone anymore.
"He is out, usually returns at sun down."
"Wait!" I shot up, ignoring the pain, I staring straight into the eyes of the doctor. "So he has been sleeping beside me every night."
"Um... It was him who was worried about you. He hasn't slept much these three days, I can tell." My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, he still cared? "You would sob and whimper things in your slumber."
"Really?"
"Yes, I do believe the first day you sat up and yelled out Vaas's name, but you were still asleep. He told me about what had happened." I sat silent, taking small chews from the apple, I felt like I hadn't eaten in days, but I didn't feel like eating at all. I glared at the doctor, I honestly was going insane.
"Can I ask a question?" He nodded his head hesitantly, also confused.
"If you loved someone, but you knew they hurt you, what would you do?" I fell back against the wall, staring at him for an answer. He seemed stumped which wasn't a good thing, he sighed and wove his fingers together.
"I am afraid that my opinion on the matter would be of no help to you... It is your job to decide what to do in your life, I am no psychologist." I closed my eyes and nodded my head which was still pounding with pain.
"I can tell you this though my dear..." I shot my attention to him again, in hopes he wisdom would be of use. "Love is a fragile thing. Like the heart it can't defend itself, it needs protection, that is when the rib cage comes in." I gulped unable to process what the man said, it didn't exactly make sense to me. It had nothing to do with relationships and love is like a heart, but what's a rib cage like?
Our small silence was interrupted by the loud opening and slamming of the large metal door to the warehouse. The doctor flinched, I watched his expression, I knew exactly who it was. The last man on earth that I would ever want to see.
"What is your name?" He looked over at me nervously.
"Dr. Earnhardt."
"Thank you." I took another bite from the apple, my blood boiled each thump I heard up the stairs. The doctor finally nodded his head in reply and when the door opened to reveal a pair of dark hazel eyes staring directly at me, I completely froze. Vaas was sweaty, his chest heaving, and his breath ragged. I felt fear, I was afraid of what he would do to me. He had hurt me more times than any I could count, but as I told doctor Earnhardt I still loved him. I am crazy now, that Mirabella years ago is gone. I am just crazy like Vaas and maybe it's best we be crazy together, shit happens, right? He at least deserves some form of punishment for what he did to me though, what he did to Pai.
"Go!" Vaas ordered sternly I the doctor who sat up without hesitation and rushed through the door, his fading footsteps could be heard as Vaas closed the door behind him. He stepped forward and stared at me with a strict expression. He looked different, darker circles rested underneath his eyes and his skin was covered with specks of dirt. "Your awake..." I nodded my head, a bit surprised when he hurled himself towards me wrapping me in his arms and kissing me on the forehead. "I am so sorry Bella... I did this for you... For us... I couldn't just let her live and have you die. Do you understand? I need you... I can't lose you again." He whispered the words in my ear, the sincerity that went into them once again made me forget everything he had done no matter the severity. He was in fact my one true love and I was his, I allowed him to hold me in my arms, still aware that he is in fact a murderer.
I do remember how I felt when he told me he had killed Buck for me, which was a lie then. I didn't feel any mercy for Buck, he was a bad man and Vaas had killed him for me. Then there was my parents, I might have hated them, but Vaas killed them for me. Then Pai, Vaas killed her for me even if I didn't want it. I should still feel mercy for her though, she had no knowledge of freedom and I think that she was a good person overall. She could have made it, but Vaas lied to me and killed her.
My fists clenched and I roughly pushed Vaas away, his eyebrows furrowed with anger. I crossed my arms and looked away, there was silence, I hoped he understood how it felt, I loved him... But this still wasn't that Vaas I gave my virginity to.
"What was it about?" He asked softly, I immediately knew what he was talking about. What should I say? If I don't tell him the truth then I would be just like him... But perhaps the truth was not right... Not yet.
"I saw... You." I looked over at him, he leaned in closer wrapping an arm around my neck and pulling me to his chest, I allowed him to.
"What about me?"
"You hurt me..." I continued, coming up with what I could in my mind before I said it. "You... Killed me." I felt him stiffen, he growled lowly in his throat before moving a hand to grasp mine. He was cold, not warm, that bothered me. I pushed him away and stared down at my feet.
"Are you scared of me now?! Is that it?! He was angry, I could sense the tone. Then I heard a bucking sound before I felt the cool metal of a barrel at my forehead. I was not afraid, he wouldn't kill me, he loved me to much, right? I turned to stare him in the eyes, we were both confused, he was scared and didn't want to show it. He was worried about my well being and that turned him into a wreck, but he was still the pirate lord I have strong feelings for.
"Look at you." I groaned, he slowly lowered his weapon and gulped. "Do you remember what we use to have? Do you remember the good you had?" Another silence, Vaas's expression was stone "I still love you... No matter what you have done I will always love you... But I can't do this, not anymore."
"What are you saying?" I looked away, his voice was shaky and hoarse, I had never heard him like that before.
"I would like it, if you gave me my own shanty... My own clothes... My own privacy... And a little more respect. I need to think more about us, before you can have me again Vaas."
"And then what?! You've been subjecting yourself to me this entire time. You've kissed me and have felt me, you've even nearly fucked me."
"I am just confused, okay? I don't know what to think of this, ever since I saw you I haven't." I protested rationally, he sniffed, standing up, holstering his weapon, and placing his hands on his hips.
"I am sick of this..." He mumbled. "I am sick of you fucking demeaning me." He pointed a finger at me. "If you had never left, none of this shit would have happened, you would be my Queen and Citra the pawn. You were supposed to be my one and only mate... You were supposed to be my baby." He shook his head and sighed looking over at the door.
"I will do what you said because you asked and I allowed it, not because you fucking told me." His eyes met mine. "You have a week to fucking accept the man I have became for good or god fucking safe you, I will gut you and string you up like the pig headed whore you have become." I gasped, that was the worst threat, thee worst name I have ever heard and I was not expecting it to come from his mouth. "Comprende Mirabella?" No more cute nicknames... I was not his Bella today, not his hermosa, not his amor...
"C-Comprende." I replied in a stutter, he shook his head.
"I did not want it to be like this, but you leave me no choice. I will be back tomorrow morning, I have unfinished business. This compound will be empty, the Doc will be here with you. We clear?" I nodded my head again, he then turned and left. "I will tell the Doc to bring you food." Vaas finished as he rushed down the stairs, leaving the compound with the slamming of the door. I felt guilty for some reason, Vaas had just threatened me though and no doubt he will enact his threat if I don't end up giving myself to him in a week. I kept telling myself he didn't deserve me, he was a killer… but wasn't I a killer to? I had killed people, innocents, I still felt guilty about it. I loved Vaas though to and maybe he was right... I had to accept him, before I could save him.
