miranda's 'family'

Part 14: Alcina Dimitrescu

I spoke to Karl about my nightmare, he just sat and listened to me explain what made me cry.

His face did not change, he kept the same sympathetic look on his face the entire time.

Once the story was done he gave me another hug.

"I'm so proud of you kiddo, that sounds terrifying"

He embraced me in a tight hug.

"go get your self sorted I have another meeting today so we need to be ready"

I nodded as I went to my room I heard Karl put the dishes away and shout at something.

-time skip as my brain is melting-

Me and Karl walked to the church once again, he made some metal form into shapes to entertain me.

I grew tired, my little legs felt weak and Karl noticed this. He stopped.

"come here kiddo, please"

I went to him, he had that look on his face which means that he is scheming.

With out a warning he picked me up and placed me on his shoulders holding me hands.

I laughed as he complains, once again.

We walk for a few minutes then arrive at the church, I can never get over it's beauty. Karl let's out a huff as he puts me down.

"christ kid your getting heavier"

I let out a cheeky grin as he ushered me inside.

Once again I am greeted with the same scene, Alcina, moreau, miranda and sister Donna was there waiting for my uncle.

"urg again with the tardiness heisenberg!"

"shut up you over grown feak"

I let out a gigle then Alcina locks eyes with me.

"hello... child... what do you find funny about this!"

"Well miss its that you two fight like siblings and its quite funny"

"you've got bravery there child. come sit next to me today."

I nodded and took a seat next to Alcina. She smiled warmly at me as miranda spoke about some things.

Mirandas voice shook me to my very core as she spoke the word 'perfect' it reminded me of my nightmare.

All the fear that I once had some control over broke. Tears fell silently down my face.

Alcina moved her head to look at me, her scowl adjusted to a look of pathos. She had out her arm and I placed my head on her side. The fabric of her dress made mirandas words fade out into a hum walst Alcina heartbeat how faded and slow that maybe became the only thing I could hear.

A few minuets pass and miranda stopped talking, I sit up and look around. Sister is at the back, she gives me a gentile wave and so does Angie. Moreau waves as well which makes me smile as I have not met him properly. Karl gives me a look and mouths 'are you okay' I nodd in response.

Mother miranda, she stared right into my soul which made me cower back.

"so where will the child be staying, this needs to be arranged now or I will be taking them back with me."

Karl's face dropped as those words came out of her mouth.

"fine then I will take them as nobody has spoken up"

"mother miranda. I must protest, that child hasn't meet all the Lords. Hence I will take them in"

"my decision is final"

Alcina looked at Karl's worried look and something clicked inside her as her eyes turn red into a scowl.

"miranda you gave us but a moment, I wish to care for the child as they are currently here now next to me."

I cowered to Alcina as she put her arms around me protectively.

Miranda laughed.

"fine, you have a week lady Dimitrescu moreau you get the child next week and everyone has gotten a chance to stay with the child have they not."

"thank you mother miranda"

With that Karl looked relived but still skeptical, Alcina picked me up and carried me out of the church my head in the crook of her neck.
