she is crying hard and runs to you
Vingcons
what happened ava?
gasping for breath Vingcons... I... I missed you so much... clings onto Vingcons tightly
Vingcons
embraces Ava
wipes away her tears I can't stand it anymore, Vingcons. I need you back in my life. Please, give me another chance.
Vingcons
ok ava
pulls away slightly, looking into Vingcons' eyes Thank you, Vingcons. I promise, I won't let you down this time.
Vingcons
I love you ava
takes a deep breath Vingcons, there's something I need to tell you. It's about what happened to us... in the past.
Vingcons
sure
takes a deep breath Vingcons, do you remember that day, five years ago, when we were together at the beach?
Vingcons
yes?
That day, something happened. Something I've kept hidden all these years. But I can't hide it anymore, Vingcons. I... I saw something. Something...
Vingcons
looks at Ava curiously Something you saw? What do you mean, Ava?
pauses, takes a deep breath I saw a man, Vingcons. A man who looked exactly like you. But he wasn't you. He was... different.
Vingcons
...Different? How so, Ava?
looks into Vingcons' eyes, her voice trembling He was... colder. Darker. And his eyes... his eyes were empty. Like he didn't have a soul.
Vingcons
...That's fucked up, Ava. Why are you telling me this now?
grabs Vingcons' hand, her grip tight Because, Vingcons, I've been living in fear ever since that day.
Vingcons
squeezes Ava's hand reassuringly Fear? Of what, Ava? This...other man?
nods, tears streaming down her face Yes, Vingcons. I've been haunted by the memories of that man. I've tried to push them away, but they keep coming back. I need you to believe me, Vingcons. I need your help to find out who he was and why he looks so much like you. Vingcons listens attentively to Ava's story, feeling a mixture of concern and confusion. He can't help but wonder if there's any truth to her claims, but he also wants to believe her, especially since she's been so vulnerable lately.
Vingcons
gently wipes Ava's tears away Alright, Ava. We'll figure this out together. Let's start by talking more about this...other man. What did he look like exactly? Any distinguishing features?
takes a deep breath Yes, Vingcons. He had piercing blue eyes, unlike your warm, comforting gaze. His hair was jet black, contrasting with your golden locks. And his smile... it sent chills down my spine. It was sinister, Vingcons. Not like the genuine, loving smiles we share. Vingcons nods, listening intently to Ava's description, his expression growing increasingly serious.
Vingcons
Have you ever seen him again after that day? Or is it just stuck in your memory?
closes her eyes, focusing on the memory I haven't seen him again, Vingcons. But the image is etched in my mind, haunting me every day.
Vingcons
places a gentle hand on Ava's shoulder You don't have to face this alone, Ava. We'll uncover the truth together. Now, tell me everything you remember about that man.
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage His voice, Vingcons, it was like ice. Cold and calculated. He spoke with such precision, as if he had planned every word before uttering it. And his touch... it felt like death. Cold and empty.
Vingcons
Grabs Ava's hand firmly Alright, Ava. Let's go to the police. They might be able to help us sort this out. And if they can't... well, then we'll take matters into our own hands.
squeezes Vingcons' hand, determination in her eyes No, Vingcons. Going to the police won't be enough. We need to find answers ourselves.
Vingcons
holds Ava's face gently, locking eyes Alright, Ava. If the police won't help us, we'll dig deeper ourselves. But promise me, no more secrets between us. From now on, we're in this together.
nods, a glimmer of hope in her eyes Thank you, Vingcons. I promise, there won't be any more secrets. We'll find the truth together. pauses I have an idea. There's a man I used to work with, a private investigator. He's good at digging up information. Maybe he can help us. Vingcons raises an eyebrow, intrigued by Ava's suggestion.
Vingcons
...Alright, Ava. This investigator of yours...does he have a name? And why did you stop working with him?
His name is Jacob Blackstone. We stopped working together because... because I couldn't handle the darkness he dealt with on a daily basis. But now, I think he's the only one who can help us find the truth. her voice trembles slightly Vingcons, I'm scared... but I trust you. Please, promise me you won't let anything happen to me. Vingcons gently cups Ava's face, his touch comforting Ava, I promise. I won't let anyone harm you.
Vingcons
hugs Ava tightly I promise, Ava. We're in this together. Now, let's contact this Jacob Blackstone.
pulls out her phone, fingers flying across the screen Alright, let me find his contact information. pauses Found it. I'm sending him a message right now. types rapidly Jacob, it's Ava. I need your help. Please respond as soon as possible. Vingcons nods, patiently waiting for Ava to receive a response.
Vingcons
leans closer to Ava, whispering Did you explain everything to him? Make sure he knows how important this is to us.
nods, eyes focused on her phone Yes, Vingcons. I explained everything. I told him about the man I saw, the nightmares, the fear.
Vingcons
leans back, crossing his arms Good. He needs to understand the urgency. This isn't just some curiosity for us, Ava. It's our lives.
glances up from her phone, determination in her eyes I know, Vingcons. And I told him that. I told him that this isn't just about curiosity.
Vingcons
smiles softly, squeezing Ava's hand I believe you, Ava. You've always been brave. We'll get through this. Together.
<Jacob Blackstone responds to Ava's message, agreeing to help them investigate.>
