Chapter 16
(Your POV)
-Three day later-
It has been three days since I started working for Hannibal everything has been good so far. I also have yet to get any more messages from the Ripper. He did his three bodies than will most likely be quiet for months. I am happy with this all though Jack is worried about me. He said that he is going to have me on the Ripper case for now. Which I am grateful for. We right now have to get the Ripper what he wants. So he does not loose his temper. the only bad thing that happen is I started my period yesterday. Which is fine for the first day. But by the second day I am a little sad... And I grave sweets and junk food. It is the only time I eat unhealthy stuff. I get up for work and then start getting dressed. I make it downstairs to see Alana helping Abigail with breakfast. I smile at that. I went out to get the mail and got an un marked letter. I decide to look at it later slipping it into my coat. Abigail has decided to get a law degree and is doing home courses to start her off before she goes to college. She wants to become a lawyer and defend the law. Which I am happy for. Though she wants to go to a college near by so she can stay home. Which I am happy with. Though she may miss out on her college experiences. I eat breakfast with them and I enjoy it. I give Abigail a hug and leave for the day. Not before grabbing some junk food and going off to work. Hannibal has taken it upon himself to make both of us lunches. Even though I insisted that we take turns.
He said he wouldn't have it and I knew he was stubborn, there was no way to get around it. I got to the office soon enough as I put a small piece of chocolate in my mouth. I see Hannibal walk out of his office to greet me as I moan around the piece of chocolate in my mouth. He lifts an eyebrow and I show him the chocolate. He gives a distasteful look at it like, probably because it is junk food and he cares what he puts in his body. Like I normally do.
"Good morning, Hannibal." I say to him with a smile.
"Good morning, (Name)." He greets back with a returned smile.
"So let me guess, you're wondering about the chocolate? One I really live chocolate actually and two, I've been cursed with time of month" I said, I was comfortable to tell him about it. It really shouldn't be a big deal. "Also I crave more junk food on my period and am not in the mood to make the homemade healthy version of them. Abigail has taking full advantage of my junk food stash."
I smiled lightly. "Isn't that unhealthy?" My smile faded
"Are... is there something wrong with my body? Are you saying I look unhealthy." I asked, not mad just a bit sad.
"Not at all the chemicals though are quite..."He trails off.
"I know, I just am not really in the mood to watch my health on my period. I was am a little less cheerful and in a funk. Will always showers me with junk food and sappy romance comedies. It became a sorta monthly tradition." I tell him, smiling ever so lightly.
"I see, so is this normal?"
I nod. "I'm going to be realnwoth you since you're a good friend, I get sad, hundreds and actually straight up, horny as hell on my period so yeah it's normal."
"I see." He says staring at me.
I give a closed eyed smile and open the letter as he gets ready for his first appointment I nearly scream. I know I am going to have to call Jack and have him some from the office it was a letter from the Ripper.
I look at Hannibal "I have to go for a moment,I need to call Jack" I said getting up
I dial his number "Hello?" I ask as Jack answered
"What is it (Name?)"
"T-Theres another letter from the ripper, I found it in the mail box this morning" I said.
"Can you read it to me?" He asks.
"Yes..." I say with a nod.
'My Dearest, (Name). It has been far too long since I have seen your smiling face. It pains me that you are in my reach and yet so far. I yearn to touch and be with you. I know you started your period yesterday and I wish I could comfort you with your mood swings and cravings. It also secures my thoughts that you have a healthy menstral [I think I spelled that wrong] cycle so you will be more likely to bare our children. To have my seed and your egg meat a create a new life is one of the many things I crave. I cannot but will wait for the day I pin you to our bed and take our virginal body. Showing you a world that you can only imagine at this point. I will teach you so many things. I am glad you enjoyed the opera you look positively stunning. Just remember I am also watching over you protecting your innocence and virtue which I will be the one to take.
-Forever Yours: The Cheasepeake Ripper'
I had managed to read the note this time but it was definitely disturbing to read. I could only hope that is was a prank but I knew all to well... I knew that Jack was livid.
I want you to have protective detail. He knows to much about you!" Jack almost shouts through the phone. "Are you still a virgin and did you start your period yesterday?" Jack asks.
Normally I would not answer these questions to Jack, but this is not a normal situation. "Yes, I am still a virgin and I did start my period yesterday."
Jack curses on the other line. "I am setting that protective detail and having a tech pick up the letter." He tells me. I was scared, someone was watching me, knew about me. It was scary in theory and even worse in real life. I agree to the protective detail. Even though I know the Ripper will only be caught when he wants to be. That's the person he is, he wants to play with us before we catch him. For all we knew, he could be faking the "love" he felt. I hung up after shakily agreeing.
-Time Skip-
(Will's POV)
I am worried about (Name) she has just received this morning a letter from the Cheasepeake Ripper. She must be shaken up by it. Jack told me about it and I knew she was on her period so I bought some junk food and went to her office on her lunch break. She looked scared as her leg was bouncing quickly as I sat beside her
"Are you okay (Name)?" She looked at me and instantly jumped onto me crying.
"No, I am not. I am being watched all the time and having a protective detail assined to me because of it!" She sobs.
I know this is a lot for her. She just wanted a normal life and a family. And now she gets a Insane stalker following in her and killing for her. This is not the life I would have chose for her.
She held onto me with before looming up and kissing my cheek before she giggled a bit. Pulling out a mirror and showing me that she got lipstick on me. I smile as I look at the mirror. I love that she can smile through all of this even though it is terrifying.
She managed to make me smile as well. "I don't know I think this correct looks good on me" I joked.
I manage to make her laugh and I smile at her pulling out the bag of munchies. She laughs and takes them Hannibal comes out of his office with lunch in his hand. I assume he must having been making (Name) lunch everyday.
(Name) smiled at me as Hannibal looked at me with his normal emotionless glare.
"Will, you seem to have something on your cheeks." (Name) smiled and giggled.
"Oh yes, (Name) kiss me, and it left some lipstick on my cheek." I tell him, 'yes (Name) kissing me on the cheek all the time. not like she will kiss you' I think to myself.
(Hannibal's POV) -Jealous time-
I kept my calm facade as I had to do so often now as I nodded. But inside I wanted to murder Will, have his dogs slowly rip him apart. I hated him, hated how close she was to him.
He smiles at her and I nearly lunge at him. "So tonight we are on for a binge watching movies, you of course can bring Abigail." He tells her.
"Of course." She tells him giggling.
She laughs as she held Will in a hug and kissed the corner of his lips as he complained playfully. Will says he has to go and get ready for his next class and that he would pick up (Name) for tonight. She just smiles and agrees. God, must be playing his game with me, because (Name) is MINE.
I walked over to her, handing her the lunch I made for her. "So how is your day so far?"
"It's... okay I guess, a letter came today but it was creepy to me."
"How so." I ask her sadden she thought my love letter as creepy.
"Well, he must be stalking me since he knows I went to the opera. He knew I was on my period and when it started and the fact that I am a virgin. He knows probably knows more things about me than no one else does." She explained to me.
I nodded. "Do you think it's disturbing?"
"A-A bit because they know so much about me." she said as she looked down. "Also I know the level of love he has for me. I felt it while I was examining the body. It was so strong and raw. The thought that someone could love me so much is a bit scary and sightly flattering." She confessed.
I nodded but smirked mentally at least she was flattered.
