miranda's 'family'

Part 20: Aunt Alcina

I felt dani's hug to go talk to Alcina. She shooed me away with a dark grin on her face.

I began to walk aimlessly around the halls to find my aunt but she was nowhere to be found.

"sunflower, what are you doing?"

"looking for my aunt, your mother."

"she is in the opera Hall waiting for you."

"thank you bela! See ya soon"

She waved as a made my way down to the opera Hall. The sound of my feet hitting against the marble floors echoed loudly. I began get lost in the large castle.

I stood in the courtyard facing the large metal doors t the main castle. The bitter wind swirled around me as it began to snow.

Small specks of ice fell onto the roof of the castle. The smell of the atmosphere was even colder freezing my little nose.

I heard the click of heals on concrete.

"ah my (y/n), I've. Been waiting for yo- oh my are you okay you look pale."

With that she scooped me up and carried me into the opera Hall.

I felt the warmth of the fire against my body.

"(y/n), child please open your eyes, are you okay. Please talk to me."

I couldn't open my eyes the cold paralysed me

-Alcinas PoV-

" BELA! DANIELA! CASSANDRA! COME HERE AT ONCE!"

"yes mother"

All my daughters came to me as the small body lay against me and the fire burned attempting to warm the pale child.

"fetch supplies to warm your sibling! NOW!"

My voice laced with concern and anger.  I needed to tell the child that they will be coming to the castle every 2 weeks for a week to be tutored on what my daughters were teaching them.

With no hesitation they vanished to get me what I needed for my poor child, there pale cold skin, slightly blue lips and red nose. My heart shattered. How long have they been out in the yard?

"mother here you go, let me help you"

Bela knelt down and used blakners and warm water to aid the small child. Cassandra put a warm towel on their face. Daniella had a hot water bottle on their chest.

Looking at their helpless body, my daughters helping them I felt an odd connection to them.
