(Honestly lmao)

Justine’s face went pale at the threat. If she hadn’t already been terrified already she seemed to be now without any shred of doubt. Even to a more powerful scale after the boy’s life was deliberately imperil. “Don’t—don’t even think about touching him.” She positioned herself directly in front of William now, whose friendly smile had ebbed away into concern. Though he didn’t fully understand what the creature had meant, certainly it meant nothing good.

“Justine?” William whimpered and wrapped his hands around his nanny’s arm. He tugged lightly for her attention. “What does the big man mean?”

Justine didn’t answer him, rather shook off his hands and muttered an order to him over her shoulder. William—albeit reluctantly—obeyed, and started off running towards the ridiculously large house. “If you’re going to threat—“ she paused to swallow—“anyone, you—you threaten me not him. Victor isn’t even here, you know.” Her voice lowered into a croak by the end of her last sentence.

"Then take me to Victor, little girl, and I will not burn your residence to the ground. Oui?" he tilted his head at the last word, steering her by the shoulder and then simply picking her up in one strong arm and carrying her off to his truck. He could get back there before the family could even call the police, he knew, if they even was. This woman was clearly a nanny of some sort, she was dispensable. He carried her far, through the woods, then to the other side of the trees to his truck, where he threw her inside and then got in himself, looking comically large for the vehicle but it had a more intimidating look than anything. He started the car and the doors automatically locked, no escape for Justine now. He turned to her. "Where do I drive? Tell me quickly, or I break all the bones in your puny little fingers." it was an empty threat, he had no desire to hurt the woman, but she didn't know that. The only one he wanted to hurt was Victor, and he'd get that soon, would be allowed to indulge his anger oh so soon and oh so sweetly. He'd break every bone in the puny man's body into a thousand small shards, and then leave him to die. He was just… so angry, really. He was so upset and angry and he couldn't control himself at this point, he was going to snap if Justine didn't do something quickly.

Justine’s face lost all of its color. She could hardly do more than yelp as the creature whisked her up and away. Struggling over his shoulder, beating at his back, and rambling curses in a line of words thinly strung from a single exhale. If her breath hadn’t already left her, it was certainly gone after she was thrown into the truck. Whimpering with fear despite herself. She hugged her legs up to the chest, curled as small as she could get in the seat. The threat rattled her, though no more so than the shock of being kidnapped by some horrid monster. She bore her gaze into the man as indignantly as she could muster, and silently cursed her lip for trembling less than intimidatingly. “The-the-uhm. The college. In Geneva,” Justine struggled to form a whole sentence. Let alone one that made sense. What was the university called again, even?

(No problem)

“There are many colleges in Geneva. Tell me which one, or things will go very badly for you very quickly.” he snarled, moving so that his eyes were mere millimeters from hers. He started the car, the engine rattling and sputtering before turning into a full roar as the car started, rattling over bumpy ground and with an engine so loud you could barely hear your own screaming. So that nobody would even hear you scream.

Justine whimpered—couldn’t even do anything but react fearfully—no matter how calm or composed she tried to make herself appear. She clutched onto the seatbelt, clenching and unclenching her hands around it while she racked her brain for the name of the college Victor went to. Her hands left faint sweat marks in the fabric. “I-I-I don’t know,” she said, voice barely audible over the sound of the engine. “I don’t really know him that well, uh, U-of-G, I think, just…the main one.”

“Fine, but if I find out you’re lying to me, I will leave you out in the middle of the wilderness to starve, don’t even test me.” he said, driving across rough ground and through thick foliage. “Now, we’ll be there in just a few hours. There are books and food in the back, although half of them are simply dreary reads and the other half are trash. The food should be okay, though.” he said, not looking at Justine as he said this and instead focusing on the road ahead. He was silent for a while, before he spoke again. “Why do you look so scared? I’m going to let you go after this. You should know that.”

Justine sent a quick glance over her shoulder at the food and books in the back. It wasn’t even a decision to be made—she wouldn’t be taking anything from this man. It wasn’t like she was hungry yet anyway, though in the next few hours, she might reluctantly accept a snack. She pulled her feet farther up into the seat. Hugging her knees close to her chest for comfort. Then after a long moment of silence he spoke again, and Justine replied with a sharp glare. “Why do I look scared?” she snapped, “Oh, I don’t know, it might have something to do with the fact that you just threatened to hurt my boy. Threatened me, and now you’re kidnapping me?” Her voice was shrill, taut with anger and fear.

“He’s hardly your boy, you’re hardly old enough to be even a proper mother. Honestly. I can’t believe you care for a brat like him, I’ve always found children to be annoying but he… well, he certainly is something.” the creature said dismissively. “Too inquisitive. I’ve always found asking questions to be for nobody’s good, especially when those questions have answers like me. The secret to life, pah! Victor should have known what he was doing when he- you’re not listening. And I only took you because you know where to go. I would hardly ever harm you, Victor is the one I wish to destroy, believe me. I still have some good in me.” he shrugged.
