The Bones of The Rabbit

Chapter 67

Bela put down her beetles, hearing commotion outside her door. She was moving the now grown up larvae to their own terrariums, but the screaming broke her focus. Bela opened the door, furious with the screaming. "What's going on here!?" She hissed, seeing Daniela, some woman in chains, her mother, and you. "This is Mia. You know, Mia Winters." Daniela looked over, pointing to you and the woman arguing. "Like, New Years Mia?" Bela asked, watching with mild interest. "Yeah."

This is going to be interesting.

Bela listened, eyes growing wide as your voice raised. "You have no right to be in this castle!" You snapped. "You came back after a trip to Louisiana, only to tell me that you and Ethan were together on New Years Eve, while we were a thing!" You had taken a couple of steps forward to Mia, Alcina gently placing a hand on your shoulder to keep you from walking closer. "You have no idea what I went through while in Louisiana!" Mia cried out, furious. "Oh you don't think I can sympathize with that? I've been drowned, beaten, starved, a cult leader attempted brainwashing on me, I've been gutted, I've had my arm ripped off, I chopped off my leg to give to my wife so she could basically one-shot kill said cult leader, I've nearly died several times. You went through hell in Louisiana, but I didn't come back just to rub it in someone's face. I stayed because I'm actually happy here and I'm moving on." You hissed, counting everything.

You really shouldn't be staying here since all that has happened to you, but you're too stubborn to leave and practically glued to my mother. Oh well, you make her happy and that's all that matters to me.

"Why are you even staying here if all these things happened to you?" Mia asked, eyes wide. Bela looked to Daniela, raising an eyebrow. "Because I love Alcina and her daughters. I met them by mere chance and I'm marrying Alcina, her daughters are going to become my daughters." You went to Alcina, giving her a hug.

You two are so cute it's gross.

"Then let me at least stay 1 week. If I can't convince you by the end of the week, then I'll leave and you'll never hear from me again." Mia offered, catching Bela's attention. "Only if you're under my supervision." Bela spoke up, leaning against the doorway. "Hope you like beetles. I got a lot." Bela smirked, looking to what you wanted to do.

How are you going to wriggle out of this, Mia?

"I highly doubt you can convince me, but if you can-" "If you can convince (Y/N), Mia, then you'll have to fight me and my daughters with tooth and nail." Bela felt a shiver run down her spine as her mother placed a possessive arm around you, her expression mimicking that of a hungry wolf. Bela looked to Mia, seeing her nod.

Mia, what have you gotten yourself into? Good luck prying her from my mother, she will devour you alive.

"Deal."

You're going to regret trying to pulling my mother's prey from her jaws.
