,,C'mon, aunty", Daniela giggles as she gently tucks on Donnas arm and pulls the woman with her, along the snow cowered path ,,We three got here in one piece and we will come back to the castle as four and half. Don't worry".
,,But the creatures", Donnas eyes roam from side to side as they continue to walk ,,Won't they smell us? Or hear us?".
,,We already finished one", Cassandra says as if that is a casual thing one would just do and runs a hand through her dark hair ,,We could finish five more if we have to".
,,And I can help too!", Angie says, snickering while she gestures Donna to pick her up.

Donna lets out a sigh and nods, bending down to grab Angie and the doll settles in on her arm while looking around the forest they are walking through.
She trusts the girls, a lot. Yet the thought of those monsters that absolutely terrify her being somewhere around them still makes her nervous.
So she holds onto Danielas arm with one hand, holding Angie with her other and tries to focus on the path beneath her feet instead. She loves spring and all the flowers that come with it, the fresh scent of the green around her and the birds starting to chirp again. All of it creates a pictuure that is just so pleasing to her, and for now she lets the nature comfort her. 

,,Y/N will be there too, right? I haven't seen her in some time. But Donna talked to her. How is she?", Angie starts to ramble and looks at Daniela attentively.
,,She is doing well. She spends a lot of time with mother", the redhaired girl says ,,Do you like her or why are you asking?".
,,She reminds me of you a little", Donna says, directed at Daniela and Angie nods.
,,A not-so-crazy version of you, yes. I like her", a little grin speads over her face ,,At least she doesn't yell at me, like Heisenburger".
,,I love those nicknames", Cassandra who has been throwing and catching her sickle with one hand for the last ten minutes, starts to laugh ,,Heisenburger, it fits. But yeah. I find it suprising that she didn't run off when she met you".
,,Why would she? You're such a cute, little thing, aren't you?", Daniela giggles and Angies shriek laugh fills the air.
,,I am the cutest!!".

,,Be quiet for a second", Bela then raises her voice and all of them keep their voices down from one moment to the other, looking over to the blonde girl who stopped walking and now has her gaze fixed on on the forest to their right ,,I think something is there. I heard steps".
,,What? I didn't hear anything", Daniela whispers after a few seconds, only to be shushed by her older sister.

Now all of them stand still, looking into the same direction but nothing is to be seen.
Donna is sure that she made out a person walking behind a dried-out bush for a moment and she knows that there is a path that leads to Moreaus lakes, yet the figure disappears before she can take a second look and she doesn't give it a second thought.
,,No one is there, Bela", Cassandra sighs and tucks her sickle back into her belt ,,Let's keep going. I am sure mother awaits us already".

,,Alright, here we are", Daniela opens the door to the entrance of the castle and holds it open for the others to enter ,,Welcome. I have no idea where mother might be, but I am sure we will find her".
,,And Y/N too, probably", Cassandra adds.
,,Indeed. I think we can all spread out to find them", Bela nods and looks at Donna ,,You know the castle well, too".
Donna just gives her niece a nod, before she lets Angie down again so she can stroll around a little and the four (and half) go seperate ways to find Alcina.

Donna knows that she and Alcina never were biological sisters yet she knew the woman well enough to have a slight bit of knowledge where she might be. She is aware that the woman had recieved some wounds while Winters was in the castle and also knew where she liked to go when the weather was nice and she needed to relax: the little garden that connected four different parts of the castle, a place where one could wonderfully take a rest.
Donna herself loved the little garden, specially because of the fountain and the flowers.
