"He hit you?" Neteyam couldn't believe what he was hearing as he was sat at the table with Aonung and Love opposite them.
Love nods.
"What- Where was Jack?" Neteyam asks.
"He's gone back to England" Love tells him.
"Love I'm so sorry, I had no idea he would do something like this to you" Neteyam says.
Aneysa and Lo'ak are both laughing as they walk downstairs until they reach the kitchen where they see the look on everyone's faces.
"Love? Aonung?" Lo'ak was confused as to why they were here.
Aneysa notices her bruise straight away.
"Who hit you?" Aneysa asks.
"Her father" Aonung replies.
Aonung and Aneysa share a glance to one another. As if they're planning something.
Love walks to Lo'ak as he hugs her.
Love and Lo'ak have had a positive relationship with one another. As much as he was younger than her, he still understood a lot of what she was going through.
Jake walks into the house just seconds later, only to walk in and find the five of them in the kitchen.
He looks around confused, and then sees the look on Love's face.
"Love? What- Is that a bruise? What's going on?" Jake asks.
"After you called off the engagement, my father.. he got mad. He blamed me and it just got out of hand" Love says.
Jake puts his arms around her to hug her.
"I'm so sorry" he whispers.
She shakes her head no as she hugs him back.
"We can't just let him get away with this" Lo'ak says.
Aonung and Aneysa share a glance at each other again.
"What are you proposing?" Jake asks.
"Give him a taste of his own medicine" Aneysa speaks out.
They all look at her.
"Abusers don't stop by just a small punishment. Whether that be spending time in jail, five years? Ten? They won't change. So, why not make it a bit fun, and give him what he deserves" Aneysa says.
"I don't know-"
"Leave it to me and Aonung. Trust me" Aneysa says.
Neteyam stands up, "he hurt Love. You think he won't hurt you?"
"I'd like to see him try" Aneysa says and then looks back at Aonung, "let's make a little a trip."
"Let us come with" Jake says.
"Are you sure? I don't want to frighten you" Aneysa says.
"You couldn't possible hurt a fly" Jake replies.
"Do not test her father" Lo'ak says.
Neteyam and Jake both look at her.
"Seriously do not" Lo'ak says.
-
As Aneysa and Aonung are walking out the door, Neteyam stops her.
"Neteyam" she gives him an 'i'll be fine' smile.
"I just- I'm worried. I don't want him to hurt you" Neteyam says.
"And he won't. I promise" she says, "how do you think I got my fathers money back?"
Neteyam stops for a moment to think.
