Chapter 5

You walk slowly towards the castle. Walking through the lowered gate, into the dark cavern, lit only by the light of small torches on the walls. As you entered the wine cellar of the castle, you saw Alcina walking in the same direction as you.

"This way darling" She said, extending her hand towards you.

Both of you entered what it seemed like the ruins of an old church, there was a couple of broken benches and chairs. One chair was three times the size of the others. 'That must be Alcina's' you thought while a soft smirk formed in your lips.

You took a sit next to Lady Dimitrescu's chair, you saw Donna Beneviento wearing a black veil that covered all her face, Angie was sitting on her lap. In front of you, Moreau. You suddenly felt sick as he approached, you felt sorry by the expression in your face but the smell that came from his body was disgusting. You continued to glance at that "Church" trying to find Miranda, but there was no sign of her.
You overheard two men talking outside the front door. "Wait I know that voice, Ethan...".

"Who the fuck are you?" Ethan said.

"Oh, you're not local! Even better".

Heisenberg throws pieces of metal in the air at Ethan. One of them stabs him in the shoulder. He let out a whimper.

"Mother Miranda's gonna love you!"

"Quit your whining we're almost there!"

All at once a small door near you opened, revealing Miranda. She was wearing her "Mother Miranda" costume. She stood in the middle of the room, two steps above us.

Heisenberg opened the door, he carried Ethan with chains and his hands tied. His eyes were closed.

"The man is of no real use to anyone else. And my daughters do so love... entertaining foreigners." Alcina said.

Ethan opened his eyes. 'Oh thank god he's alive' you thought.

"Furthermore, I can assure you if you entrust the mortal to House Dimitrescu, my daughters and I shall deliver to you the finest cups of his slaughtered blood" Alcina demanded again to Miranda. You were avoiding eye contact with Miranda.

"Out of the way, ugly! I want to see—oh! He's awaaake!" Donna's doll said.

"You mean—Y-You mean...?"

"Both of you, shut the fuck up!" yelled Heisenberg.

"What...? Where...?" Ethan looked up and met your eyes "Y/n! Help me! What are you even doing there??!"

Damn it what can I do? You couldn't just save his ass in front of them, in front of Miranda. You tried to make a gesture to tell him to wait but he didn't got it.

"You mean you'll screw around with him in private, and where's the fun in that? Give him to me and I'll put on a show that everybody can enjoy" Heisenberg said.

"Oh, so gauche. What do we care for bread and circuses? The manthing's suffering is assured, regardless."

"Yack, yack. And if a man's dick is cut off in the castle—blah, blah, blah!"

You glared at Miranda, this was the first time she scared you. Alcina told you before, that Miranda was irritated lately, utterly remorseless.

"I've heard all your arguments. Some of you were less persuasive than others, but... I've made my decision." Miranda pointed at Heisenberg with her golden claws. " The man's fate is in your hands."

Lady Dimitrescu got up from her seat with a large cigarette in her hand. "Mother Miranda, I must protest! Heisenberg is but a child, and his devotion to you is questionable. Give the mortal to me, and I will ensure he is ready."

"Shut your damn hole and don't be a sore loser! Go find your food somewhere else."

"Quiet now, child! Adults are talking."

"I'm the child? You're the one who's arguing with Miranda's decision!"

"You wouldn't know responsibility if it was welded to that hammer!"

"Oh, keep growing, one day your head might actually fit your ego!"

"Fight, fight, fight, fight!".

"Hey, don't I get a say in this?" added Ethan, almost inaudible.

"¡SILENCE! My decision is final, there will be no argument. Remember from whence you came!" Miranda said while her wings popped out from her back. You were frightened by her.

"Thank you." Said Heisenberg.

Lady Dimitrescu resentfully left the church. Great I'm alone with these freaks.

Heisenberg spins on the spot and a crowd of creatures gathers around him.

"Lycans and gentlemen, we thank you for waiting! And now let the games begin! Let's see what you're really made of, Ethan Winters. Get ready!"

"No, wait!"

"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One! Showtime!"

Ethan quickly found some kind of hole in the floor and jumped into it. I hope he makes out of this alive, my boss is going to kill me otherwise. You left the room and headed to Alcina's Castle.

Last thing you remember was the snowy way to Lady Dimitrescu's Castle.

"Y/n?" Alcina picked you bridal style without a great deal of effort. She was now walking towards the castle grabbing you with one hand, she was using the other one to cover her nose, because you were bleeding a lot. She was losing control so she picked up the pace.

You had a Maiden assigned to heal you, carefully she covered up all your injuries. You still had no idea who or what attacked you out of nowhere, but know you were concerned about going to Miranda's house.

"Now. I don't have any fucking clue where this woman lives , she said that I'll find her house. Also told me not to waste my time asking someone where did she live because no one knew. Not even the 4 lords.". You talked to yourself while getting dressed in Alcina's guest room.
