Documentary of a disappearing man (Pietro) 1/2
The only thing that truly made your skin crawl, were the people Pietro worked for. When he met you everything in his life was chaos. Still,, the third time he saw you at the same places he was supposed to be sabotaging (stealing from one time) he couldn't help but take his time running circles around you even though you were just a random bystander in the crowd. There were too many people in the world that he's ran past but you're the only one that kept your eyes on him as he sped past.
The 4th time you saw him, he had to run around confusing you. He eventually knocked you on your ass to see if you were some sort of threat.
"What the fuck?" Y/n wipes the dirt off of her pants as she gets up and frantically looks around for whatever ran into her.
From a distance Pietro watches her, shes not noticed him at all. She starts running away and he walks behind to see if she is some sort of spy.
Y/n makes it to the end of the forest and leans over putting her hands on her knees.
"You're not very fast are you" a voice behind her states matter of factly. It gives her chills and she whips around to see nothing.
She looks frantically back and forth but after seeing trees and dirt she decides to shout at the voice, "This isn't funny whoever is playing games!"
She keeps turning around but no one ever shows up.
Pietro decides that if she's a spy, then she's not a threat at all and heads back to base.
—few days later—
Y/N hasn't said anything to her roommates about the voice in the woods, and to be honest she doesn't think she ever will.
I never saw anything or anyone and that's not very promising for a future documentarian.
The entire purpose of being in Sokovia, was to film the people and their struggles. To show the rest of the world what they are going through, and even if she wasn't a real documentary writer, this wasn't a bad start.
"Are you going to eat breakfast? " Nikki shouted from down the hall.
It shook Y/n out of her thoughts and made her stand up from her bed in the small room she was renting, "yes thank you! One second"
She put on some slippers and made her way into the kitchen where Nikki was still making the bacon, she looked over her shoulder and told y/n "5 more minutes if you'd like to get anything off your mind"
Y/n looked out the window and sighed, "I can't expect you to ignore my problems can I? Even if I don't realize they're that obvious "
She turned around to face me and says, "its been 9 months since you moved in and you know damn well since my husband died all I can focus on is other people. But this isn't about me, its about you being nearly silent for two whole days" she starts walking toward me and places her hand on my shoulder.
As I look at her I can tell she's just worried. "I heard some voice in the woods the other day whenever I was trying to get footage of the forest, and something invisible knocked me over. I feel like I'm going crazy"
She frowns, "I'm sure there's an explanation, even if it's unlikely but nothing like that happens out of the blue. You're not like going crazy because believe me I would know if I lived with someone who had hallucinations " she lifts her hand and ruffles my hair up.
I look at her pan and change the subject, " well regardless, I don't have to be hallucinating to know the bacon is getting burnt….."
Her eyes widen and she starts making her way back to the oven. I hear a string of foreign cursing and I sit down at the table.
Maybe it was just some crazy person rather than some thing my brain made up.
I think to myself about it and ask Nikki, " so just to be sure, you've never seen me talk or react to anything that wasn't there?"
She doesn't look up but answers back, "Trust me, if I had ever seen you act differently I would let you know friend. I'm sorry I can't help more, but perhaps keep in mind the children here do not have a lot of entertainment." She starts making up the plates, and sets them down in front of us as she continues. "So maybe think about shit you did or saw people do when you were a child," she looks up at me and smiles.
Sounds a bit bullshit but….I can't really argue with her since there is zero proof i have had problems like this before
I smile back and thank her for the meal. "Hopefully tomorrow I'll get some good footage and forget about the whole situation "
—the next day—
Nikki needed some more groceries and naturally as the guest/renter you offered to get them. However the terrible coincidences of being in disasters lately, has affected you once again.
Before leaving the store a man pulls out a gun and starts to scream at the cashier. I duck down and try to make myself as small as possible. It doesn't work, looking to the left you see a second person going up and down the aisles with a gun. Tearing up you lift your arms up and close your eyes.
The men end up leaving and not bothering anyone but I call Nikki and start crying immediately
Nikki listens for quite a minute, but ends up saying "go for a walk and head home, or just come here for some warm tea it will calm your nerves "
"Okay, im going back to the forest, its only half past 1 and I need to focus on something thats not the constant trouble I keep getting in"
Before she can respond my phone dies and i end up crying again.
I just wish I could help these people but I can't even stay safe on my own
As i make my way to the forest I hear a strange almost buzzing sound. I wipe my face off and turn around only to get a face full of snow. The buzzing noise got fainter after that but suddenly stopped as I was shaking all of the debris from my hair.
"You know you shouldn't be out alone by the way? Pretty dangerous here" a man in front of me says
I look up to see his silver hair and near silver eyes, I frown and say, "where did you even come from? I didn't hear anything at all"
He huffs in amusement at that and says, "I came from nowhere, what about you?"
I look up and roll my eyes, " nowhere you care about, besides I feel like I suddenly have somewhere to be " I half smile and start to walk off while making eye contact.
"Suits me, this is the fourth time I've bumped into you, you know so I doubt it will be the last" he smiles and then practically disappears
"What the fuck?" I say out loud and look back and forth. I look at the ground and see footprints ahead of me that weren't there before and realize I really am loosing it.
