Auntie & midnight Walker

"Hiii!" She cheers as I pry the door open, she knocked even though I gave her a key, like the polite person she is.

"Hey, ready to meet your nephew?" I question since she keeps calling herself his aunt, she was so excited when I called this morning saying she could come over to the house whenever she wanted to.

"Yes! Quick question, what's auntie in Spanish?" She asks me, "you might speak Spanish to him so I thought it would be easy if someone else spoke it too"

My heart reaches out for how sweet and innocent she is. Too good for this world.

"Tía" I state and she nods before we walk upstairs, trying to be quiet so we don't alarm the kitten.

I open the door and Oliver immediately walks over but realises the new person so he freezes, not really knowing what to do.

"Don't worry, he only hates men and bad people apparently. Just hold your hand out so he knows your scent"

She follows my instructions and before I know it she's playing with his feather lead thing, she's defiantly too kind for this world, I wasn't surprised that Oliver took a liking to her.

After that we decided to watch Disney films with Oliver, of course.

We sat down and cuddled up to the couch as Oliver fell asleep between us, a little fur ball that would sometimes twitch slightly or put when Marie stroked him.

Marie decided that we should put on Lady and the tramp, which was about two dogs who fell in love.

Surprisingly it was really cute, even if I did watch them eat spaghetti together.

————————————————————————

Marie had fallen asleep in her place so I placed a blanket on top of her before walking into the kitchen, wanting to grab another cup of coffee.

To be honest I had also fallen asleep and had only just woken up in complete darkness, it almost felt alarming in a way but I had brushed of the gut feeling.

As I enter the kitchen I meet a dark figure but quickly grab a knife and lunge it into them, killing them in the process, taking a moment to myself before realising what had happened.

"Marie!" I shout in a panic, "call Benjamin!!"

I knew he had secretly added his number on her phone. Like the stalker that he was, he probably texted her everyday, not the time...

I switch on the light to meet a man in all black with a scar on his left eyebrow, he had a tattoo on his hand which I take a photo of, making sure I had turned on the kitchen light.

"Italian" I mutter as I read the honour code, they should seriously try and cover it up.

She comes running in and gasps at the sight, covering her mouth in shock as she looked at the corpse and the loads of blood that was probably on me too.

"Marie, get out and wait by the door. This is too dark for you" I say while pushing her out, wanting her away from this..deed.

I decide not to touch the body as Ethans gang will be able to scan it over, I still had no idea what he was here for, but he definitely wanted to do some damage.

After a few minutes I begin to feel panic as I look down. I killed another person.

My breathing increases and I hear the front door being slammed open, only causing my heart to panic further until I hear a familiar voice.

"Where is she?!" I hear Ethan yell around.

"T-the k-kitchen" I hear Marie crying while probably being comforted by Benjamin, but I kept my eyes down as I tried to keep myself together.

Ethan comes running in as my breathing calms down, he glances around the room before his eyes settle on a distraught me.

"Italian mob, their honour code is placed on his hand" I state and he nods before grabbing me into a hug, and I feel the tingles settle as well as the confusion.

"I was worried" he admits and I furrow my eyebrows.

He's a ruthless killer and mafia boss no'1.

"I'm fine. I got him before he could even touch me" I relive it, knowing that this could have turned out to be a different way if it was Marie who had entered the kitchen instead.

He pulls away and begins to give orders to his men, who carry out his orders in silence.

I walk into the living room where I see Marie and Benjamin cuddled up as he trails his hand up her right arm as she strokes Oliver, trying to calm herself down.

"I'm his auntie obviously, Madison being his mom" she explains through rubbing her eyes with her other hand.

He hums to her and she slowly places her head on his shoulder.

"Break it up guys" I announce that I'm in my room, "Marie I'm staying at yours since they know where I am"

"Okay"

"Absolutely not"

We all turn around to see Ethan with his arms crossed, how have I not noticed that he has no shirt on and is in Pj bottoms, the blood actually managed not to touch me.

"Why not?" I challenge him, again.

"You are both coming with us" he states and Benjamin nods in agreement.

"It won't be safe for either of you and we can pick everything up tomorrow" Benjamin says calmly, trying to bring down the entire situation.

I run upstairs and pack a bag quickly. Oliver's; toys, food, treats, anxiety drops, the room clearing thing and a food bowl. I also grab outfits for Marie and I tomorrow and a phone charger, knowing that they most likely didn't have clothes for us there.

I run back downstairs and hold up the bag to show what I was doing, where Marie nods in understanding.

"Marie, you can carry Oliver since he loves you and your his tía" I say and she smiles before picking him up gently with her tear stained body.

"Let's go" Ethan says and they guide us out, Marie and I stifling our yawns as we were both tired.
