OH, I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS! My head had been racing in such a frenzy writing this and I hope you are ready for this roller coaster, because it's going to be a good one. Grab your tissues, pop your popcorn, and strap in.

The night was busy in the streets as I was making my way to the charity benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for Alzheimer's. I had been asked to may a speech at the event as I have donated over a million dollars but also what I went through taking care of my grandmother. It was an honor to be invited to this event, it touches my heart so much to try and help doctors find a cure or better method of helping families deal with this disease. I know the cost of living for a person in a special home with this disease, the medication, treatment, diagnosis, and more. It is extremely costly for families who are struggling with family members dealing with this. Writing the speech was hard as it brought of so many memories with my grandmother, that I had to stop as I was crying so hard but I was able to finish.
I was currently in the back of a town car the charity sent over, so I get to the event safely than taking the subway in an expensive gown. I did splurge just a little for the dress but seeing it I had to have it after shopping for two hours finding nothing at several department stores. It was an elegant white satin A-line wedding dress; halter neckline is adorned with pearls that add a touch of sophistication to the dress. The backless design is sleek and modern, while the floor-length hemline creates a timeless silhouette. The dress features a sleeveless style and a zipper-up back for a comfortable and secure fit. At the back of the dress was a black tulle bow drooping low from the bottom of the zipper covering my bottom with the ends dragging down in the back. The string of pearls that draped over my shoulders draped down in different length layers for the open back of the dress.
My hair was up in a mid-bun style with a few strands of my hair falling loose around my face with part of my hair swooping over my forehead similar to the Disney Princess Ariel. I had simple pearl pins holding my hair up and silver orchid earrings with a pearl drop at the end. Each wrist was a beautiful multi-strand pearl bracelet with a silver orchid to match the earrings with smaller pearls in the center. My make-up was simmering champagne eyeshadow with a wing liner, soft blush pink dusted on my cheeks, and a fairy tale pink lipstick. In my lap was a Jimmy Choo cream white latte bucket bag design with Bon Bon embellishments of white jewels decorated on the back with a white gold circle handle. It was a smallish medium bag that had my phone, ticket, lipstick, and small bottle of Excedrin. I've been getting headaches lately and wanted to have some on hand if I get one at the event, though I doubt I will be drinking since I've been taking them. Hopefully, they just have some orange juice or a soda.
I watched the car pulled up to the front, I could see large banners hanging from the pillars for the event with several paparazzi outside taking pictures of everyone going in which I would be in just a moment. The driver got out as I picked up part of my long dress to get ready to step out as he soon opened the door for me. Helping me out with his hand I thanked him before softly smiling as flashes of cameras went off as I began to make my way up the steps inside. Entering the museum was beautiful as it always is, I remember my mother bringing me here as she loved art, and the history behind it. Often giving her inspiration for her music, how the art around her made her feel when she gazed up at them.
"Miss Sinclair!" I turned to see the head of the charity Ellis Matin. A older gentleman of fifty seven in a black tie suit. Heavy set in the gut with combed back was white with white/grey greyhound ears and tail. Dark brown eyes, light skin, and a warm smile. He was waving me over as I smiled at him walking to him.
"Greeting Mr. Matin," I spoke shaking his hand.
"You can call me Ellis my dear, you look wonderful tonight," he smiled back as he held his hand out letting me into the room.
"Thank you, Ellis, I'm happy I could be here."
"Nonsense my dear, you may have contributed quite a bit of money, but I also know about your struggles with your grandmother. This disease is so heartbreaking, even taking my lovely wife Maria," he held his hand to his heart looking down painfully at the memory of his wife. I remember him telling him about his wife's struggles, and how he made this charity for her, and for many others struggling. It was heart breaking, but he was doing everything for the good and has helped so many people through the years.
"I believe she would be so proud of you Ellis; you helped so many people, and I am happy to be a part of this," I placed my hand on his arm as he nodded wiping his eye as I could tell he was touched.
"Thank you my dear, it means a lot to me, and I believe it too. Come enough tears, let me introduce you to some people," he put on that warm smile as I nodded before following him to see some important people for the event.

DING! DING! DING!
Everyone looked up from their tables as Ellis was onstage as I was standing off to the side as everyone looked up from where they were sitting at the round tables. Ellis had just dinged his glass as he stood at the podium. Behind him was a screen showing different images of families, people who have suffered from this disease, doctors, and information about Alzheimer's. White roses everywhere decorated the area and stage as it was one of Maria's favorite flowers.
"Thank you everyone for coming tonight, I hold this every year as we gathered here to support each other, and the people who have suffered from this disease. Tonight we have a special guest speaking at tonight's events, I would like to introduce someone who has struggle with family in dealing with Alzheimer's, and more. Please welcome Miss bunny Sinclair," Ellis announced as the crowd clapped as I walked onto the stage.
I got to the podium hugging Ellis tight before he left as I turned to everyone, "Thank you Ellis, it is wonderful that I can be here tonight, and to help so many other people."
I unfolded the piece of paper as I began to read from it as it held my true feelings on this matter, "I know many of you have heard about me in the news dealing with my old boss Enel, being a stripper, and had poisoned myself. But through it all I made sure my family was taken care of, my grandmother." I stared out to the crowd as they were listening with such empathy on their faces. "My grandmother when I was a child could remember her starting to forget things, small things like time, where she put something down, or even memories with my mother and father including me. It wasn't until I was starting out in high school when my parents found out she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. My mother and father took care of my grandmother until they couldn't."
I blinked quickly as I wiped my eye as I was trying not to cry, "They placed her in a good home that they could afford but it only got worse with the visits, and soon the doctors found it shocking that she progressed into the late stage so quickly. Even after my parents death, I spent the money they had left for me went into a better home even if the payments would have been higher than the first home. It was hard seeing her not knowing who I was, let alone why this was happening to her or who she was. I tried to see her, but each visit was harder and harder to try and spend time with her. I even asked the director if I could play the violin for her but made it that everyone else could enjoy, just to try and make her happy which she enjoyed."
I looked around as many people seemed to be holding back their own tears hearing my story.
"Even after all I endured, all I sacrificed was for her. It is why I donated so much so I can too help others dealing with this disease, and what so many of you have as well," a tear fell from my eye as I wiped it away. "Thank you for welcoming me, and I hope we can all donate to finding more research in helping cure this disease, helping families with the medical bills as I know can add up to so much. Thank you all for your generous donations, and I hope we can do more for a brighter future for not just our families, but for the people who have loved ones as well. To our loved ones, as we will never forget them as they will always be in our hearts!" I held up my glass as many other people did as well.
"To our loved ones!" Many other people called out, clapping and crying as I know I touched their hearts.

"I think it would be best to not invest, the interest is incredibly high, and it would take a serious amount to recover. I think going with the lower interest would benefit better as the higher payout," I took a sip of my juice as I was talking with a gentleman and his wife financial advice as many have asked or wanted to know my opinion on a topic.
"Miss Bunny," I turned around as I saw a woman standing behind me dressed elegantly in an emerald spaghetti strap gown with a high slit up her left leg with same colored lace on the edges of the dress while her chest was almost on displace with how large they were. Her hair was long, wavy, light green hair hanging loosely in curls, skin far, and red lips. She had large white wings behind hers with a pattern resembling that of a snowy owl. Her eyes of amber brown shining bright as she grinned at me while holding a glass of champagne. The couple stepped away as I turned my attention to the woman before me.
"Yes, can I help you?" I asked, my gut was telling me something was off with her.
Her grin grew reminding me of a certain someone I dislike very much.
"I wanted to meet you, and give you my thanks personally," she spoke, placing her arm around herself like she knew something big.
"I'm confused, have we ever met before?" the vibes I was feeling were becoming serious flags of caution.
"No we haven't, but you met my younger sister Sugar," she replied, making my face distort with disgust and irritation which she seemed pleased with my face.
I frowned deep as my anger was starting to brew, "You're with him."
"Doffy? Yes, we are one big happy family, but I was away on business when I heard Sugar ran away," she boasted. "But I was greatly relieved when you found Sugar, I know it hard not presenting but she was so happy afterward. She speaks highly of you, so I wanted to thank you in person."
I grumbled from my throat standing straight, "I'm glad she is okay but knowing what kind of enemies you and your 'Boss', it could have ended up much worst. Now tot eh real question, where is he? I doubt he is someone to donate to something like this." Asking as I glanced around but didn't see him lurking about.
She was definitely enjoying my discomfort, "He is around but wanted to give you space since this evening is so special for you."
"It's not special if he or you, being a part of that family is around. He has done nothing but disrupt my life, caused nothing but chaos-"
"But look at you now," she motioned around me before looking back at me. "If he hadn't come into your life Bunny, you probably would be at that shit hole of a job and stripping still."
I gave a mischievous smirk that made her own faulter, "What makes you think I was going to stay at Enel's and not already coming up with my own escape route?"
She seemed stunned as I walked up close to her whispering, "Tell your boss if he keeps wanting to mess with me, I have Tsuru's number. I bet she would love to hear all the things I know, including what's behind his left lenses."
I pulled away as her eyes were wide but held a stoic expression as I grinned, "Have a good night." I walked away leaving her stand there as I needed a stiff drink.
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
Monet walked through the halls of the museum after her talk with Bunny until she rounded the corner to see Doflamingo dressed in a white tuxedo leaning over the balcony looking down with a glass in hand. Walking up to him, she could see that he was looking down to where Bunny was standing at the open bar waiting on a drink, chatting with the bartender.
Leaning her hip against the stone railing, swirling her drink in hand, "I can see why your so interested in her."
"Fu fu fu, can you now?" Doflamingo grinned, shifting his stand to face Monet leaning on his arm and railing. "What did you think of her?"
Monet turned her head glancing down at Bunny, "She is a wolf wearing sheep's clothing that's for sure. She is sharp, she knows what goes on around her in a room; watching her I can easily see her ears move with certain conversations nearby. She is like a sponge, soaking up everything she can, and using it later where it could benefit her. I like her a lot."
Doffy's grin widened pleased by her words, "I knew you would, Bunny is extremely talented in so many ways which is why I want her in the business."
Monet watched as Doflamingo turned back watching Bunny with his grin rising higher on the right side. Her eyes slowly began to widen as she could see something she wasn't expecting.
"You like her?" Her voice low filled with surprise.
Doflamingo looked at Monet confused, "Of course I like her, she has skills-"
Monet waved her hand, "No no, not like Doffy." Doflamingo eyebrow raised even more confused as Monet continued. "Doffy, I think you have feelings for her, like actual real feelings. Like when we dated."
Doflamingo looked taken back by Monets' words. Yes, many years ago him and Monet dated which lasted two years but things came up and both broke up on a mutual level but Doflamingo did actually care for Monet, it was just business, and Monet felt that her love was for him was more different than his own. The feelings were less than before, and since then Doflamingo was the one who often spoke with Monet to get her honest on certain subjects than the rest of the family. Even when Doffy had other women, he was never attached, just used until he was bored and kicked them out.
Doflamingo stood up rolling his head back like his eyes as his cat ears were folded back, "I don't do feelings Monet, we were young way back then, but feelings don't work for me. Nothing ever good ever comes with having feelings, you were there with what Rosinante did."
Monet put her glass down on the railing, "I understand that but literally looking at you now, how you are going to great lengths to get her. Admiring her, going to court, you defiantly like her more than just her skills Doffy. Is it because she told you 'No'?"
Doffy clicked his tongue in distaste for her comment. Hands gripping the railing with his arms straight out, "Maybe, I mean who says no to me, I get what I want, pay what I want, I even gave her a contract which she wrote comments on ridiculing me on what I offered." He gritted his teeth remembering that day.
"Either way Doffy, I can clearly see you like her not just for skills, but something more. Take it from me Doffy," Monet placed her hand on his arm. She felt him tense as she knows he isn't someone who can't accept or knows how to deal with affection properly. "I can tell you truly like her, even in your own twisted mind. Don't force her, forcing her will only push her away."
"And what would you have me do Monet?" Doffy turned to her his face stoic.
"Well," Monet crossed her arms under her chest giving him a knowing look. "What do you feel when you think of Bunny? Or around her? Help me understand this new obsession."
Doffy let his head fall to the left before crossing his arms as he thought, holding his hand out as he explained, "First meeting was interesting, she was spitting into the blender which she seemed like she didn't care if she got caught. Great dress she was in," Monet watched as Doffy grinned at the memory. "Second time was even more interesting; she was busy at the club and that my presence was a bother. Even almost hit me when I tried to steal her treats her friend gave her, and then lost the game. Felt like electricity shot through my body when she was close, she states she has no scent, but I can smell it. Its pleasant."
"What's her scent?" Monet asked, her head was down watching him. Monet was great at reading people, it why she was handling some dirty business for Doflamingo with the Cesars, but she was the best one in the Family that could read Doflamingo the best.
Doflamingo thought for a moment, his face softening as he thought of it, "Strawberries. Freshly pick from a field with a hint of vanilla with sugar that smells from freshly whipped cream on a cake or frosting. Its faint but there."
"What else from your other times you met Bunny?" Monet questioned as she slowly walked around Doffy as he turned leaning back as his back facing the railing to her. Arms still folded.
"Third time was entertaining, the way she danced, the glare as her eyes glanced over to me as I watched from the VIP seats. The outfit she wore was tantalizing, wanted to grip every part of her skin that was exposed out for the men there to see. The look she gave me was like she held all the power, staring down at me unimpressed. Though I was shocked when she told me Lawrence ratted me out, telling her everything I do and what I did I had Trebol do to him." Frowning took hold on his face, bitter that lowlife spilled the beans. "I asked Lawrence if Bunny knew the second we met if she knew about the drugs, she didn't but I guess she got called from Lawrence or something that suddenly made her hate me. She was flirty, had so much control over me when we were alone, I liked it."
"And from then on you continued to get her to work for you?"
"No," Doflamingo shook his head. "That night when she danced on our third meeting, she threw a brief case at me paying back the money Lawrence got me. Told me I was fired, I felt such a rush before like adrenaline flowing through my veins, a rush I hadn't gotten in a long time. So, I got her fired and in business make a deal with her. Was going to blackmail her but she sued Enel so fast like she was steps ahead of my own plan for her. But what was more shocking was when I was going to bring the contract to her, to see that she was being wheeled out of the club on a stretcher when Enel assaulted her."
"What you do?"
"I wanted to go to her, but with all the cops Lao stopped me but I visited her at her very disgusting apartment she lived at. Hell, I can still smell the mold, but I can still see the horrific bruised he left on her the bastard," Doflamingo hissed clenching his teeth.
"So, you decided to help with the courtroom, I remember Giolla throwing a fit over the phone when she told me," Monet replied, rolling her eyes at remembering the screech in Giolla's voice from that call.
"But it was when after I testified, she sought me out, kneed my in the groin from our conversation, but it what she said that made me go back inside the courtroom that had me concerned."
"Which was?"
"That I wouldn't want something so broken, and poisoned. Then, in court she revealed what she did to herself. My mouth even dropped open when she exposed herself to everyone," Doflamingo replied as he stood up with his hand out. "Even after that, seeing her on the television or internet doing well, it excites me seeing her do well, but I want that for me. For my company and business that she can bring in."
Monet nodded her head, "By your description of what you're experiencing whenever you are with Bunny, and away. You defiantly have feelings for her."
"No I do not Monet!" Doflamingo hissed angrily.
Monet stared at him not impressed by his rage as she knows him and how he acts even in denial, "You like her. You know better than anyone let alone tell, history or not I am very sure you have feelings for her. And instead of getting angry, how about for once you actually get to know her."
"Doflamingo threw his head back groaning, running his hand over his hair and ears, "You sound like Rosi."
"Either way Doffy, you know I don't lie when I see something that is up with you. I'm heading back to the mansion to spend time with Sugar before I leave again, figure out something to get Bunny to you without force, if you do you will never have her," Monet snipped back before walking away from Doflamingo looking displeased.
"Fuck," Doffy cursed as he turned away hands on his hips.
He walked to the railing looking down below seeing that Bunny was conversing with people.
'I need a smoke,' Doffy left heading outside.
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
"Thank you, Ellis I had a great time tonight," I hugged Ellis as we were leaving the event as it was over.
"It truly was Bunny, do get home safe, and thank you for tonight. After your speech more people donated extra going toward the charity, you are an angel," Ellis boosted but I shook my head.
"Have a great night Ellis," I chuckled at him as I picked up part of my dress heading down the steps.
Oh gawd, am I hungry! I spent so much time talking I barely had time to eat and peed three times from the orange juice I drank with two glasses of wine. Digging into my phone, I wonder if Fiesta is still open. I can go for a grilled shrimp taco right now. Or maybe four.
"You look beautiful Bunny."
I looked to the side groaning at Doflamingo leaning against his car as I could see Lao in the driver seat. He was dressed in a white tuxedo with his feathered coat hanging off his shoulders. Why does he have to dress so handsomely? Oh, that might be the wine talking.
My shoulders slumped, "What do you want? I'm tired and hungry."
He flicked his cigarette to the grown crushing it beneath his feet, walking to me.
"Really? I can take you anywhere you want. I haven't eaten myself, " he replied as he stood before me craning my neck up to see him.
I pinched the bridge of my nose; I really was tired and hungry to fight with him.
"I'm not in the mood to fight, I'm exhausted but fine," I looked at him as he seemed shocked. "What?"
He shook his head, "Nothing just shocked you are allowing me to accompany you, your usually feistier which I like."
"It's been a long night and all I want is food, but we have to walk to where I want to get food. Can you do that or are you incapable of walking a distance?" I put my hands on my hips getting irritated.
His lips turned up, "I can walk just let me tell Lao."
I rolled my eyes as he told Lao what he was doing before coming back to me, "Where to?"
"It's in Central Park not far from here," I pointed in the direction of where we needed to go.
"Lead the way," he held his arm out for me to take but I rolled my eyes and walked away from him.
We crossed the street probably looking silly the way I am dressed but fashion is everywhere in this city. We walked the path into the park as it was dark, a few lamps were on for the path, people walking their dogs, few couples out but it wasn't packed with other people. The cool air felt nice, opening my bag I started to take the pins out.
"Need help?" I looked up at him as he was walking with his hands in his pockets staring at me. His face was calmer than his usual grin, almost relaxed.
I shook my head, "I got it, there isn't as many, and I styled it so it won't be hard to take apart."
"I meant what I said, you do look beautiful."
I shoved the few pins in my hand into my purse, "You always tell me that."
"True but you really are beautiful. Why would I lie about that?"
"Because you probably say that to all the beautiful women you meet or been with playboy. Sweet words from you don't hold much weight for me," I retorted back pull out the last pin, before I pulled out the ponytail shaking my head. "Ugh, that feels good, felt like another bad headache coming on with my hair so tight."
"Have you been getting headaches lately?" Doflamingo questioned.
"A little bit, then again, it's just a side effect from no longer taking the poison. Marco has been monitoring my brain making sure I don't have an aneurysm, especially with the nose bleeds," I replied until I stopped realizing I told him. "Damn I must be tired if I'm telling you all this."
"Well, I appreciate you telling me, you know I care for you," he played out the sympathy, I rolled my eyes at him.
"Yeah, sure you do," I walked past him. "You caring would turn the world into a fiery abyss from hell. I doubt you even have a caring side in your entire photoshopped body."
"I am deeply hurt Bunny, and photoshopped? What does that even mean?" I turned to Doflamingo pointing at his stomach area.
"There is no way someone of your age is that ripped, plus the photo's I've seen on you don't even look real hence the saying photoshopped," I giggled as he looked deeply appalled from my description of him with his hand on his chest.
"I am deeply hurt but let me tell you Bunny I am not photoshopped, I am that ripped," he stated opening his vest pulling his shirt up revealing his six pack.
OMG HE IS RIPPED! THAT ISN'T FAIR!
My cheeks went warm as he grinned by my stunned expression by his actions, walking to me standing close making my blush more bending down to me.
"I work out quite often and take good care of my body Bunny. Nothing about me is photoshopped," he chuckled before moving away to walk down the path.
Holy fucking hell! (O/O)
Shaking my head hard getting any thoughts about those abbs out of my head turned to walk past him making sure not to stare at him and that damn grin. "Hurry up!" I exclaimed, hearing him chuckle behind me deep.
We walked in silence until I saw the small restaurant ahead Fiesta, a Mexican shop selling some of the best tacos I have ever eaten. It is a small restaurant with no spacious seating in the location is at, but it is close to the large fountain nearby. It was run by Miguel Martínez, a guy who made his own food at college and even sold his food to his dormmates. He got the good idea to sell his food for real and made his own shop. The lights were still on as he has the shop open late on Saturdays with all the fall events starting to draw a crowd.
"Is this the place?" Doflamingo pointed at the restaurant we were walking to sound disappointed.
"Yes, it is. Why? Is your rich ass too rich to eat like a normal person in the world or is your stomach going to twist up till you puke," I teased him. He looked down at me like 'seriously?'. "What?! You sounded so disappointed; I couldn't help but tease you."
"Tease me all you want my dear, but my taste in food is of quality than of what you consider normal, but I will try it, much to my displeasure," he grunted.
"Well, you are going to eat your words when you try Miguel's food, it is so good I am gonna order two maybe three tacos," I grinned as we got to the window. "Hey Miguel!"
A man turned around with in his early thirties wearing a white tshirt behind his apron with black chef pants and shoes. He was tan with a muscular build for being six foot tall with tattoos all over his arms. Beneath the black baseball cap with the business name on the front with his black wolf ears sticking out with his tail wagging as he grinned at me with one of his teeth silver.
"Bunny! Mamacita, you look muy bien! Why you out here looking this good chica?" He exclaimed, coming to the window looking impressed.
I ignored the growl behind me as I gave a little show to him of how I look, "I was just at an event, so I had to dress up, but I am dying for a shrimp fiesta taco. I was so busy talking with everyone I didn't have much time to eat."
"Well bella dama, I can defiantly get that for you, but um who is the pene de flamenco?" Miguel asked, thrusting his chin to Doflamingo behind me.
"Cuida tus palabras o terminarás perdiendo una mano," Doflamingo spoke in Spanish making me spin around shocked to hear him speak another langue. His voice was deep when he spoke, and why did my nether region wake up from it?
"Woah woah, hold the phone my man I was just playing! No need to get all gangster on me, Bunny control your man I like my hands," Miguel exclaimed holding his hands up but I spun back around waving my hands.
"Oh no he is not my man at all," I rushed to say embarrassed to think Miguel thought me and Doflamingo was a couple.
"I could be," I spun back around glaring at Doflamingo smiling.
"No, that will not happen. Ever." His smile dropped.
"Damn Chica that's cold," Miguel chimed in as I turned giving him a look. He put his hands up looking away.
I turned back to Doflamingo, "Subject dropped now pick something off the menu." I turned back to Miguel, "I'll take two tacos and pepsi large."
"I guess give me the lobster taco," Doflamingo ordered stepping up beside me. His voice steady.
"Coming up!" Miguel rang up my order as I paid for both of us cuz I felt like it.
Miguel walked off as we moved to the side to wait for our food. After waiting we got our food and drinks as I lead Doflamingo as he held his food to the fountain where we sat down. I unwrapped my taco and dug in, oh so good and the flavors were greatly combined together. Oh, my stomach is so happy right now I was even kicking my feet up and down.
"Why not?"
"Why not what?" I asked, chewing my food.
"Why can't I be 'your man'?" He asked, not looking at me as he was leaning down on his knees picking at his food, pulling the lettuce off that stuck out of the taco.
"Because I know what you do," he looked at me when I spoke low. "How you treat people, hurt them for your own personal gain." I can't believe I am going to say this. "It was nice that you took my side in court even though I was having a panic attack in my own body not knowing what you were going to say, but you told pretty much the truth with some lies, but you told the truth!"
"I did it so I could humiliate that prick for harming you," he sat up growling thinking of Enel.
I turned my head as my hand went to my shoulder, I had that bruise even after the court battle before it faded away.
"Bunny," I looked at Doflamingo who was looking at me almost human. "I may not have the best type of business you approve of but part of the things that I do are legit."
"You deal drugs and other illegal stuff." He threw his head back sitting up.
"Bunny, I had to scrap from the bottom of the barrel to get where I am at now just like you. It may not be the same direction, but I did work my ass off to get where I am at, and yes, I hurt people. I've been betrayed enough times, and I don't allow for it anymore," Doflamingo explain as I can hear the rise in his voice as he sounded upset. Like he didn't like talking about his past.
I looked down at my taco placing it to the side as I actually felt bad for him even though I shouldn't. I only know what Lawrence told me, what I could only find about him online. I want to push him away as I know he is dangerous but even with his schemes he seems to always show up.
"I was there when hurt you." I snapped my head at him wide eyed.
"You were?!" I leaned away looking shocked at him.
He nodded putting the food down with his hands looking away ahead of him as his jaw was shifting like he was struggling to find the words, "I was coming to bring you a contract while you were working that night, but Lao stopped the car a distance from the club. I saw the lights getting out of the car until I saw you wheeled out on a stretcher. Lao stopped me not wanting to expose who we are with the cops; it wasn't until later I found out what happened hence why I came to see you that night. Was even more pissed when I saw the bruise he left on your body."
He…Does he actually l-
"Well, this is a shocking surprise," I looked away from Doflamingo to see Tsuru walking towards us.
"What do you want/What do you want?" I turned to Doflamingo who said the same thing as me just as shocked. I guess he didn't know I met Tsuru before.
"Well, that was weird, anyway what are you too doing out here?" Tsuru questioned folding her arms looking at us suspiciously.
I turned to her annoyed, "None of your business that's what. Why are you even out here? Aren't you supposed to be on some case or whatever you do unless you're stalking Doflamingo."
"Hey!" I ignored Doflamingo behind me as Tsuru's eyebrow went up amused by watching us.
"I was going to get something to eat at Miguels until I saw you too sitting here. What are doing, on date?" Tsuru asked.
"Y-" I slapped my hand over his mouth before he could even speak.
"No, we are not," I turned to Tsuru who was smirking at us. "Don't get any ideas that – ugh did you just lick my hand!" I screech pulling my hand away from his mouth wiping it on my dress while he grinned laughing at me. I looked disgusted as I stood up grabbing my food and drink. "Okay you talk to her, I'm throwing this away and find some soap to wash my hand off. Gross."
I walked away leaving the two together.
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
Doflamingo watched Bunny walk away, his smile still plastered on his face which Tsuru was staring at then at Bunny.
"You got it bad kid?"
Doffy looked at her confused, "What are you talking about?"
"If you're saying that, you really have no clue," Tsuru chuckled pulling out a pack of cigarettes pulling one out with her mouth stuffing the pack in her back pocket.
"How about speaking bluntly like you always do Grandma Tsuru?" Doffy contested.
"You like, like her."
Doflamingo rolled his head throwing his hands up, "What is with everyone saying that? I can't have interest in someone with exceptional skills I want for my business."
Tsuru laughed as she lite her cigarette. Inhaling as she blew the smoke out looking at Doflamingo with a knowing smirk, "Trust me kid, you got it bad for her, you just haven't figured it out yet."
Doflamingo narrowed his eyes at her about to speak-
BANG! BANG!
((The '' is for changing different scenes coming up soon))
Both of them looked to see Enel holding a gun at Bunny who looked to be holding her stomach falling to the ground.
"BUNNY!" Doflamingo roared as he bolted to her with Tsuru following behind. Enel saw him turning as he ran away from the scene. Doflamingo skid on his feet as he stopped picking Bunny's body up as he could see she was shot in the abdomen bleeding out staining her dress, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.
"Shots fired on the north side of Central Park, suspect is Enel. He is armed and dangerous!" Doflamingo ignored Tsuru as her walkie talkie.
~~The time has come~~
"Bunny! Open your eyes!" Doflamingo yelled, shaking Bunny as her eyes opened staring weakly up at him. The sight of her hurt felt like everything was crashing down on Doflamingo's shoulders. This uncontrolled fear creeping through his body, such a dreadful feeling he hated. He pressed his hand to her stomach putting pressure on the wound. "Bunny talk to me."
~~To pack away, all the joys~~
"I-I feel cold," her voice was weak Doflamingo could hear. "I - I guess I meet….the same fate….as my parents." A tear fell from her eye.
"You're not dying here Bunny; I won't allow it! You will not die here!" Doflamingo yelled, picking her up causing Bunny to cry out in pain. "Tsuru where is your car!"
"Just over the stairs, lets get her to the hospital!" Tsuru yelled as Doflamingo followed behind her to her car.
~~You don't wanna hear my apology~~
Getting in the back as Doflamingo held Bunny as blood seeped through his fingers while Tsuru put a light on top of her car before peeling out onto the road. She snatched the walkie talkie in her car, "This is officer Tsuru on route to St. Jones Hospital, I need the hospital to be ready for a victim shot in the abdomen twice. The victim is bleeding out, struggling to stay conscious, and needs to be prepped for surgery. This is a high-level target, immediate action needed."
~~Get it off my chest~~
~~I would do my best~~
Doflamingo held Bunny rocking back and forth breathing heavy as he was struggling with Bunny in his arms bleeding, and going cold in his arms as her breathing was becoming more labored as she was struggling with the pain.
~~I know what you fear~~
~~Similarities, we possess~~
"Bunny, stay awake, I need you to stay awake!" Doflamingo patted her cheek, waking her as her eyes was struggling to flutter open just so he could see those beautiful baby blues. "Damnit Bunny stay away you can't fall asleep."
"I…I'm tired…tired of this fight… we do….everything…..was fine….but I….guess….I deserve this."
~~Never will I pass the test~~
~~The scene is fading~~
"No Bunny, you do not deserve this do you hear me. You desevere everything in the world," Doffy looked away from Bunny to yell at Tsuru. "Damnit, can't you drive faster!"
"I'm driving as fast as I'm trying not to hit anyone! Keep her awake, she can't fall asleep Doffy! We're almost there!" Tsuru yelled back, swerving around cars and pedestrians as she was trying to get them to the hospital.
~~Can my soul be put to rest?~~
Doffy looked back down as he moved his bloody hand to tap Bunny's cheek as her eyes were closed trying to get them to open. Doflamingo watched as Bunny was so pale, her frame cold to his touch as the blood was hot against his palm. Lifting his hand as he stared at the wound he had no choice but to stick his finger in the wound.
~~Death is gonna come for me~~
"AHHHH!" Bunny yelled in agony; her hand quickly grabbed his wrist trying to pull it out.
~~Be the change I couldn't be~~
"I'm sorry but you need to stay awake, my fingers are blocking the hole so you don't bleed out anymore," Doffy breathed out through his labored breath as his lips pressed against her head. Stomach curling in the folds at her pain screams. His fingers feeling the warmth from within her body as he had felt many times in his enemies he tortured, but this made him want to be sick.
~~Can you find a life that's like fairytales?~~
~~Far from this tragedy~~
"We're here!" Doflamingo looked up as he watches Tsuru peel out as she turned the corner driving straight up to the carport. Doflamingo shifted his frame as he lifted his leg, pushing it outward as his foot collided with the door. Kicking it off the car frame as he got out ignoring Tsuru's 'HEY!' as he rushed to the nurses with Marco pulling a stretch towards him.
~~Sad you had to wait for me~~
~~Feels like an eternity~~
"What the fuck happened?" Marco cursed as Doflamingo placed Bunny on the stretcher running with them as they headed inside.
"Fucking Enel shot her, twice!"
"Damnit, she is losing blood fast! Get a bag of AB- stat! ER is being prepped now!" Marco ordered as they brought Bunny into a room, working fast as they began to hook her to IV's and machines.
~~Please forgive me for my sins~~
~~Angels wings, lifting and setting me free~~
Doflamingo stood at the door as he watched the staff hook Bunny up to everything she needed, one of the nurses was cutting her dress to get access to the wounded area. Feeling like the world was moving so slow around him, the smell of blood on him filled his nose, his body feeling like he was being held down by cement blocks chained to his every limb.
~~Death is gonna come for me~~
"Alright, let's move her!" Marco and the other nurses lifted Bunny's body to a different stretcher with her bloodied dress left behind as they began to move Bunny into the hallway towards the ER. Doflamingo couldn't move as he watched them take his Bunny away from him, standing there covered in her blood like a statue of grief.
~~Be the change I couldn't be~~
Scrubbing his tattooed arms as gold eyes held great terror while his face stoic, scrubbing his skin until he felt like they were going to bleed from his nails and brush in his hands.
"Law!" the man turned was none other than Trafalgar Law. His black hair under a black scrub bandana with his snow leopard ears folded back under the fabric. A tall slender frame though his arm shows a muscular side covered with tattoos. Eyes pure gold shined brights from his tan skin. He was in black scrubs when he turned to see Marco burst in looking frantic.
~~Can you find a life that's like fairytales?~~
~~Far from this tragedy~~
Marco rushed ot him but making sure not to touch him, "Law, can you do this? It's Bunny!" Marco asked, desperately worried as he knew this was going to be hard for Law.
"I'm not letting her die Marco, I fucked up in the past, but I won't let her die," Law grounded out, trying to steady his voice from cracking. The memories flood through his whole body of his time with Bunny so many years ago, and the things he did held so much guilt weighing his body.
~~Sad you had to wait for me~~
Law was in the operating room with nurses around him as Bunny lay on the table with a tub down her through. Her abdomen was open as Law was working delicately as he was trying to cauterize the bleeding trying to find where it was coming from.
"Damn, where is it coming from?" Law cursed, as he was trying to search through her intestine, stomach, liver, and other organs. He had already sutured and cauterize two of the holes from her stomach and large intestine but she was still bleeding out.
~~Feels like an eternity~~
~~Please forgive me for my sins~~
Tsuru was back in the park after she dropped Doflamingo off trying with a missing car door as she watched the policemen and women around her tape off the area Bunny was shot. She stared at the area where Bunny was bleeding out, number signs scatted in the small area where bullet casings were found.
"Staff general, we found the gun!" Tsuru snapped her head in the direction before raisng her finger at the policeman holding the gun with a pen.
"Bag that up! We can't lose that!" Tsuru ordered, the man nodded.
Tsuru turned to another man walking up to her was tall in a black suit with a pillowed like jacket with a piece of steak stuck to his face.
"Officer Vergo, any updates on Enel?" Tsuru asked, Vergo shook his head.
"No, we are still looking for him."
"Damn," Tsuru cursed. 'Where the hell could he be?' she thought, worried about the safety of others and for Bunny.
~~Angels wings lifting and setting me free~~
~~The question of my love~~
"Young Master!" Doflamingo looked up from his chair as he was leaning forward, arms on his knee's hands clasped tight to see Giolla rushing to him with the rest of his family.
"Oh, my gawd, Doffy are you hurt?!" Giolla gasped horrified at the sight of Doflamingo as he hadn't changed his cloths when the nurses offered him a spare change of scrubs so he wouldn't be wearing the bloody cloths which he refused.
Doflamingo stood up, looking down at his cloths, "No, Bunny got shot, by Enel." A growl escaped his mouth at the man's name.
"What?!" The family gasped in shock, some covering their mouths with their hands.
Doflamingo felt a surge of rage roll over him as his teeth clenched tight with his fist before punch the wall leaving a hole, "That bastard!" The family looked scared as their Young Master's face was twisted in hostility, and the craving to spill blood. Doflamingo pulled his hand away as he turned to his family. "I want him alive; I don't care who we have to get but I want ENEL ALIVE! IF HE THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS HE HAS ANOTHER THING COMING!"
~~Slipping right through the cracks and crumbling to dust~~
Doffy swung his arm out pointing to his family, "I send out an order to find Enel, call everyone we have! Set price is three million dollars for capturing Enel live and to me!"
"Sir, are you sure? It's just-"Giolla froze when Doflamingo looked at her making her sweat as she could feel his stare of rage at her.
He walked up to her getting close as he towered over her as she cowered where she stood gulping.
"I. Want. Enel. Alive. Are you going against my orders?" Doflamingo growled deep, his words only a whisper but it made Giolla shook her head.
"N-no Young Master, it will be done," she whimpered staring up at him.
His glasses almost glowing bright red in the shadowed light making him seem so much larger, and terrifying. "You have twenty-four hours to find him starting now. Move."
The Family nodded rushing away as they pulled their phones out to make calls while Lao stood in his place.
"Why are you still here?" Doffy growled, his temper ever rising with the seconds.
"Let me take you home for you to change Young Master, Miss Sinclair is going to be in surgery for a while," Lao spoke calmly as he usually does.
Doflamingo didn't want to go, but looking down seeing the blood still damp on his form was making him sick. It was her blood, not something he ever wanted to see.
"Find, but we are going hunting Lao, don't try and stop me," Doflamingo moved passed him as Lao followed behind.
"I wouldn't dream of it sir," Lao replied as he followed Doflamingo to the car.
~~The question of my love~~
~~Slipping right through the cracks and crumbling to dust~~
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Violence Warning-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T- Let the Chaos Begin-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
Doflamingo was standing in his room in front a mirror buttoning up a black shirt as a frown was deep on his face. He had showered off the blood from his body as Lao burned his cloths out back while his mind was racing faster than a V8 engine. His mood was foul, raging through his veins from the events playing over and over in his head. He turned from the mirror as he adjusts his gun holsters that held his black and gold Desert Eagle Magnum 50AE guns that he had strapped on with in his back pocket was a sheathed push dagger in the back on his belt with two extra clips for his guns. His shirt was left untuck to his blade and clips as he wore black pants that still exposed his ankles as he always wore black dress shoes with a steel toe on the outer part of the toes. Turning he grabbed his black jacket slipping his arms through the sleeves adjusting his shoulders and sleeves down to his wrist. Walking out Doflamingo grabbed a pair of black leather gloves he put on strapping it down on his wrist as he moved to the door. Gripping the hand, he threw the door open letting it slam against the wall as he quickens his pace as he grabbed the railing on the third floor jumping over it.
~~Climb into the ring for a battle that you can't win~~
~~Swing as hard as you can swing, it will still mean nothing~~
~~Should've seen it coming, it had to happen sometime~~
~~But you went and brought a knife to an all-out gun fight~~
The scene changes as a door to a bar was kicked in startling the few men in the bar showing Doflamingo who kicked the door off it hinges before his family rushed in grabbing the men who began to fight back. Doflamingo running to the bar as he jumped over grabbing the boss as he fought the mans hand stretching it out as he thrusted his elbow down breaking the man's arm as he yelled out in pain before getting punched in the face by Doffy gripping his shirt yelling down at the man crying in pain as bone stuck out of his wrist blood gushing from his wound.
~~And the only thing that's safe is the banner that you wave~~
~~To be wrapped around your grave~~
Spinning the man around as the scene changed as Doflamingo was yelling pointing his gun at three men on the ground that were badly beaten up by him and his family as they were bruised and blood looking up at Doflamingo telling him something only for him to sneer down at them before pulling the trigger shooting each person in the head before turning away.
~~You've gone too far~~
~~Who do you think you are?~~
~~Is this what you came for?~~
~~Well, this means war~~
Doflamingo was dodging punches as a tall muscular man was fighting him as the Young Master swiftly moved to the side grabbing the dagger him his belt holing it as it stuck out above his fingers as his hands created fist to grab the arm of the man before him stabbing in the side multiple times as blood gushed from his side before releasing the guys arm to grab a bottle smashing it down on the mans head as it shattered. Doflamingo stomps down on the guy's head several times crushing it in spilling blood all over his shoes before turning.
~~Say anything you want, but that's not gonna get you nowhere~~
~~The only thing you brought is psychological warfare~~
~~Well, there's no getting out, and now you got to wonder~~
~~Who will dig you out when you're six feet under?~~
~~And the only thing to save is the banner that you wave~~
~~To be wrapped around your grave~~
As the image shifted to Doflamingo watching as Trebol, Diamante, Senior Pink, and Lao held a man down as a he was screaming while Doflamingo held a torch to a trash can as a rat was inside biting away at the man's flesh underneath. Doflamingo growling out words as the man was begging for his life trying to give what he knew to Doflamingo. Only for Doffy's family to break the man's legs and arms backwards on the pool table. Screaming as Doflamingo took the torch burning the man's face off before throwing it across the room cursing, kicking chairs frustrated.
~~You've gone too far~~
~~Who do you think you are?~~
~~Is this what you came for?~~
~~Well, this means war~~
Doflamingo was in the car as Lao drove the car Trebol got a call, then informing him of the information making Doflamingo grin so devilishly wicked be busted out laughing before yelling out orders as Lao understood. The shadows on his face as he looked down and the glow of his red glasses showed immense satisfaction with what news he got. The car drove away as the building behind them was burning down in a hellish blaze.
~~And the only thing to save is the banner that you wave~~
~~To be wrapped around your grave~~
~~You've gone too far~~
~~Who do you think you are?~~
~~Is this what you came for?~~
~~Well, this means war~~
Doflamingo walked up to a group of people that worked for him as the man opened the trunk. Inside was Enel tied up and gagged looking terrified, but even more when he saw Doflamingo standing over him grinning like the devil he was. Enel began to thrash in panicked fear, before Doflamingo closed the trunk letting the bastard alone in the dark.
~~Well, this means war~~
T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-WARNING Gore Description-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T
Enel was strung up with chains with his arms out on each side of him while on his knees, and butt naked. His body was trembling with fear, it was rattling the chains he was wearing and cuffed at his ankles too. Over his head was a black cloth bag blocking his view, the smell of the cloth burning his nose and something so bitter of cold mildew of mold wafting in the air. His mouth was still gagged under the bag as it was filled with his spit, soaking wet in his mouth until the bag was lifted from his head. Eyes shut tight from the blinding light stinging his eyes. Slowly Enel opened his eyes slowly trying to adjust to the light as he could see he was in a red brick room looking like it had aged poorly through the years, looking down was a small drain beneath him. Glancing up slowly, Enel stared out as he saw a shadowed figure sitting on what looked to be a wooden stool. The figure's body appearance was large as Enel began to shake even more as the lenses the figure wore stood out glowing ready from the exit sign behind the figure emulated as the red glow shaped the outer form of the figure.
The figure stood up slowly walking to Enel as he could see coming closer to the light where he was strung up was Donquixote Doflamingo. His upper body was exposed showing having a "well-built" frame with "defined" muscles, appearing "ripped", with broad shoulders, a strong chest, and prominent biceps, giving the impression of straight raw power. Veins could be seen pulsating on his arms with his leather gloved hands clenched in tight fits. A vein protruding from Doflamingo's neck, and forehead as his frown was deep.
"You thought you could run away after shooting Bunny," Doflamingo voice was cold, void of any compassion staring down at the man shaking like a dog about to piss himself.
"Mmmphy! MMMMMPHT THHHHSSUMPT!" Enel tried to speak but was muffled from the gag in his mouth.
"Remove his gag," Doffy ordered.
Behind Enel as Diamante appeared from the shadows, his hand also gloved as he pulled the gag from Enel's mouth before stepping away and him and Trebol moved around him to exit the room leaving Doflamingo with Enel with the door slamming shut.
"Please Donquixote, I was upset I was losing everything! My company was shut down, I was angry!-AHH!" Enel's head snapped to the right sharply when Doflamingo punched Enel. Lip splitting as blood began to spill from Enel's mouth. His body trembling as tears fell from his eyes crying like a child.
"ANGRY!? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ANGER IS!" Doffy bellowed, he swung his fist again hitting Enel on the right side. A strong crack filled the air as Enel broke down spitting a tooth out from his mouth and blood. "You were pissed off that she was succeeding while you were going down into the gutter! You were pissed when she won the case! You planned this from the start because OMEGA GOT THE BETTER OF YOU! YOU SHOT HER IN COLD BLOOD! YOU THOUGHT, PLANNED, AND STALKED BUNNY TO KILL HER!"
"P-p-please, "Enel begged. "Mercy, please."
Doflamingo stood up, "Mercy? I have no mercy left to give to you Enel. You're pathetic, you shouldn't have never present as an Alpha if you're crying and shaking like a fucking idiot."
Doflamingo turned walking away before Enel could hear a cart rolling, his eyes looked to see a metal cart being dragged by Doflamingo seeing multiple items for torture.
"No! NO PLEASE! I REGRET WHAT I DID! PLEASE NO! NO NO PLEASE!" Enel screeched pulling on his chains, terrified s Doflamingo picked up a knife with jagged edges and rusted.
"You are going to experience pain that will etch into your soul Enel," Doflamingo turned to him with the rusted knife. "Bunny is fighting for her life, you hurt what was mine, what I covet, and was actually having a decent conversation with her. You aren't leaving this room alive."
"No! NO NO! PLEASE GOD NOOOOOOO!"
.

.
After four hours, Trebol and Diamante were waiting outside the staircase smoking until they heard a door open then slam shut. They were far from the city in a special area Doflamingo owned in the deepest part of the woods near the ocean. Both looked to see Doflamingo covered in blood, splattered on different parts of his stomach, chest, arms having the most and blood splatter across his face. Diamante hand Doflamingo a jug of water to wash off his body and a towel ready with a fresh pair of cloths as the Young Master began to take off his gloves and pants.
"Burn everything after you clean off all evidence, then dump his body," Doflamingo spoke before walking off as the two nodded.
Diamante and Trebol looked at each other before grabbing the cleaning supplies before heading back down. Opening the door, they saw the scene of what Doflamingo had done to Enel. Trebol saw the scene before rushing back out to throw up as it was the worst he had ever seen while Diamante held his hand to his nose trying to cover it from the smell. Enel was chained up still, his ears that drooped down were cut off completely, only to be cauterized from the burned singed closed from the burnt smell in the room as well the smell of piss permeating the air with the blood. There were cut marks all over Enel's body, burned marks on his nipples that were burned off. His penis was cut off, burned to stop the bleeding, Diamante could see the blood filling Enel's ball sack as Doflamingo had crushed beneath his foot. Fingers broken in different directions, fingernails ripped off, teeth pulled, Enel's legs pulled out as his knees were beaten with a sledgehammer, toes broken, the Achilles heel was slashed open. Enel's mouth hung open from the large Glasgow smile that reach up high on each side to TMJ where his jaw would have moved up and down. Enel's eyes were hollow as Doflamingo dug out his eyes with a melon scooper while he was alive.
"Holy hell," Diamante cursed, holding back the bile in his stomach that was churning bitterly in his gullet.
