The Bones of The Rabbit

Chapter 29

Donna poked her head into Lady Dimitrescu's room, seeing that it was cleaned to a pristine condition and yet you and Alcina were not present in there. Snooping around, she looked in the room where there was some slight noise. Opening the door and moving the sheet, she found you and Lady Dimitrescu snuggled tightly together. Her head was thumping painfully, knowing that she shouldn't have drank so much wine and eaten enough candy to fill a piñata. She had Angie look more closely, grinning as she saw your scars were beginning to heal properly and no infections were forming. Her skill as a puppet maker did you a favor it seemed.

To say she was jealous of Lady Dimitrescu was an understatement, she wanted you for herself as well. Your kindness and gentle touch made Donna blush under her veil a beautiful shade of red. Knowing Lady Dimitrescu was in a deep sleep, Donna placed her thumb against your lips, feeling just how soft they were. Her heart ached and she felt anger well inside her.

I wouldn't hurt you.

Donna caught herself and pulled her hand away, scolding herself internally. As her hand went back to Angie, Lady Dimitrescu's eyes fluttered open and she squeezed you tightly. Donna could feel her jealousy rise again.

That should be me holding you.

Lady Dimitrescu gently let you go, letting you wake up after being squeezed. Donna, thankful for her veil, stared at you as you woke up. She was glad to have met you, but now she knew her goal.

Donna thought of her goal. She was going to find a way for you to love her, even if it meant removing Lady Dimitrescu from the picture. She was going to summon the beast out of Lady Dimitrescu once again.

I will have you, even if I have to fight tooth and nail.

Donna turned her head, the sheet was still moved to the side from when she moved it. However, she heard Cassandra's hand slide against the doorframe as she got out of visible sight.

Starting with you, Cassandra.
