Love and grief. Mother Miranda x Reader

The Village

Chapter 1

On a cold September morning I was awakened by the loud sound that my alarm made. I was used to waking up early , I didn't actually needed my alarm, but I set it just in case. Today it was a special day , as a surgeon and biologist I was sent to an odd village to study the biological weapons that apparently were being made there by someone or something.

After sitting on my bed for what it seemed 30 minutes I finally got up and made my usual breakfast , toasts with peanut butter and coffee. I have to be at the village in 1 hour, so I hurried up and grabbed all my stuff that I've prepared the night before , I looked at my luggage again just to check if I had everything I needed for this, I did. 5 different weapons ; 3 shotguns and 2 handguns, enough bullets and first aid kits as well as some clothes of course.

"Chris i'm here can you tell me where exactly is my new "house"?, this village is quite big", I asked Chris Redfield, my co-worker.

He chuckled through the phone. "You are so smart to have two degrees but your sense of location is horrible, your place is near a big castle".

"Fine, i'm on my way its fre-fr-freezing outside" I said stuttering.

As soon as I hanged up I looked up and saw the big castle, it was beautiful. I wonder who lives there, if someone does.

I went into my new "house" it seems more like a manor , but i'm not complaining. I made myself a quick dinner and went straight to bed after unpacking all my belongings.

"Well where should I go with first?" I thought to myself. Chris said that we needed to find the source, what is causing all this madness.

After a couple minutes of driving, I felt someone staring at me while I was approaching to the castle, as I went deeper in the village... people seemed malnourished? almost dead ?. 'What the hell is happening in this place?'. I decided to left the castle for later. I stopped outside of a red gate it was locked but I shoot at the lock and as I expected, it broke and I was able to open the door.

"Well hello there! you must be new here, if you need something I have everything for a reasonable price" said a huge guy, I already like him.

"Hey, yes I'm new here, may I ask you what is going on at this village?"

"Very well then, you're quite a curious, Ahhh you see since Mother Miranda came here, everything has changed. You see she holds so much power. There are also 4 lords in this Village, Lady Dimitrescu, Donna Beneviento, Karl Heisenberg and Salvatore Moreau. By the way you can call me Duke". He said while he smoke his cigarette and coughed.

"Mother Miranda?" You sighed and thought to yourself ("Miranda?, after all this time? No, it can not be , I'm not ready for this").

"Huh? Are you there?" The duke asked bringing me back from my thoughts.

"Uhm, yeah sorry" you spoke. "Could you possibly tell me where to find the lords?"

"Ahh i see, well you can go to Dimitrescu's first, she lives there" He pointed the castle behind us with his cigarette.

"Thank you Duke" I said gently.

I was standing there at the big silver door, until I finally decided to knock. I knocked and waited impatiently. No response. I knocked again.

When I was about to turn around and get into my car, someone opened the door, she was a Maiden or that's what came into my mind at the moment, she was wearing a black and white dress.

"How can I help you Miss?" She asked.

"I would like to talk with Lady Dimitrescu" I said.

The maiden startled at my answer. "S-sure , this way". She said as she closed the door behind me.

I glanced at the castle, it was breathtaking. Every single decoration was perfectly placed, matching with the style , "that Lady has an amazing taste" I thought to myself.
As i walked two steps three girls in a hood appeared in front of me.

"mmmm...new prey" moaned the blonde.

"Should we take her to mother or have some fun first?"

"I'm here to see Lady Dimitrescu" i said playing with my hands.

The three girls looked at each other but then the blonde nodded. "Follow me"

We walked through the castle and i was left alone in front of a beautiful white door decorated with golden flowers. I knocked with hesitation.

The door opened and... WHAT?!- ho-how? she's like 9 foot ! my startled eyes met with hers.

"Scared huh?" she chuckled "I've never seen such a stunning maid before in this castle , are you new" Lady Dimitrescu asked.

"Um... i-i'm not a maid" i said. I'm a biologist and i'm doing a research in this village, i thought you could perhaps, h-help me?".

She laughed while she broke the distance between us. She grabbed me by my parka so she could talk to me face to face. "So you're an eye , tell me who you work for".

"I'm not an eye!, i work by myself i just wanted to study the village and it seems that someone took control of my megamycete"

"Your megamycete? Don't make me laugh child" She tighten her grip . "Mother Miranda owns the megamycete you should tell her your fairytale" she let go of me and i felt to the ground. I winced as i looked at my hand which was now bleeding.

Lady Dimitrescu took my hand and tasted my blood. "You're delicious darling, i should keep you to myself"
