"It had to be fucking dolls?!" Lilith groaned as knives came flying past them. She looked around to check if everyone was alright. Karl was using his magnetic abilities to ricochet the knives back at the dolls, Lily and Amy were hysterical, laughing as they helped the girls. She glanced to her lover, and gulped.
"Now love. Let's calm down." she said, holding Alcina's hand. She has a glare of pure rage in her eyes, trying her very best not to transform into her mutated self.
"Knives can't hurt me Lilith!! They can hurt you! Goddammit!!" she yelled, standing up. Lilith giggled nervously, narrowly missing a knife flying past her head. Alcina rolled her eyes and grabbed Lilith, pulling her out of the line of fire.
"Donna Beneviento! How dare you?!" she growled, extending her claws. Lilith squeezed her hand, getting her attention. In Alcina's eyes, there was a kaleidoscope of different emotions - rage, love, fear, adoration and lust.
"I see I won't be able to calm you, my love. That's alright. Might as well let loose while we're- motherfucker!!" Lilith screamed as a knife was pegged in her arm. They ran away from the entrance to the manor, into the open area in front, looking at House Beneviento. What they saw could only be described as a tsunami-sized wave of demonic looking dolls.
"That's not terrifying at all!" Lilith laughed, pulling the knife from her arm. Alcina looked at her family, including the newest members, and gave them looks of encouragement. She also gave them a look, to warn them of what's about to happen.
"It's ok mother! We love you!" Bela screamed at her. Alcina nodded briefly and gulped, giving Lilith a kiss on her cheek. She stepped away from Lilith, and roared loudly, her bones breaking and skin tearing, she transformed into her dragon. Alcina looked down at Lilith, a nervous smile on her face, worried about Lilith and her daughter's reaction. Lilith's mouth was making an '0' as she stared at her lover with adoration and awe.
"Wow! You're amazing!!" Lilith yelled, jumping up and down. She ran and hugged the dragon's leg.
"Mother that's so fucking awesome!!" Daniela yelled, smiling happily. Alcina sighed with relief, a deep, soft purr coming from her chest. Lilith excitedly shifted to her dire wolf, and howled loudly. Almost as if it was a battle cry, she encouraged the others. Lily and Amy couldn't help but join their mother in howling. Alcina ran forward, swiping and smashing dolls as she went, running into the manor, debris flying everywhere, looking for Donna and Angie. Bela, Daniela and Cassandra swarmed between the dolls, attacking them with their scythes. Karl was sweeping his massive hammer, smashing dolls as he went. The twins were maniacal, ripping dolls apart with their jaws. Lilith was just behind Alcina, crushing dolls with her strong jaws.

They easily tore through the masses of creepy dolls, pieces of them littering the ground.
"Donna! Enough!! Show yourself!" Lilith growled, baring her massive canines. Alcina stepped back, unable to reach Donna inside. Suddenly a deranged doll came out, screeching. She was able to teleport, vanishing instantly, before appearing elsewhere.
"Aunt Angie?" the twins called. Alcina transformed back to her human form, her dress ripped. Angie appeared in front of Alcina, with a diabolical smile.
"Hi tall bitch! Here for a tea party?!" she shrieked and suddenly stabbed Alcina in her chest, piercing her heart.
"Alcina!!" Lilith and Karl yelled at the same time. As they rushed over, Angie appeared in front of the twins. Alcina screamed in pain, pulling the knife out.
"And you, mongrel! This is for biting me!" she yelled, attempting to stab Amy, but Lily pushed her sister out of the way just in time. Lily snapped her jaws at Angie, as she laughed and disappeared again. A gut wrenching scream made everyone stop, looking at the direction of the scream. Lilith was screaming, backing up from where she stood. Blood started oozing out from her chest. She coughed as blood escaped her lips. She dropped to the ground, a look of confusion in her eyes.
"Lilith! Hold on!" Alcina yelled, already healed from the stab wound. Lilith looked down, seeing no knife, just blood.
"Wha-?" she gasped, her black fur wet with blood. Then she remembered - her bond with Alcina. She closed her eyes and sat down, whispering soft phrases in Latin.
"My love! Are you alright?" Alcina fell to her knees next to the wolf.
"My chest feels funny." she chuckled, frowning from the pain. More blood escaped her mouth, dripping on Alcina's dress.
"Now is not the bloody time for jokes!" Alcina angrily yelled as Karl swatted at dolls with his hammer. They seemed to come out of nowhere.
"Calm your beautiful heart, love. I am fine, ouch.. I just need time to heal myself." she murmured, out of breath. Just then, Donna came out of the manor, Angie floating next to her.
"Donna!" Karl exclaimed, standing protectively between Donna and Alcina. Donna said nothing as she lifted her hands in front of her, sending more dolls their way. She incapacitated Karl, making him see visions of his family. He dropped to his knees, sobbing softly. The twins came running, shifting to their human forms, hoping to get a loving reaction from Donna.
"Kara... Skye. I see you learned the truth." she said with no trace of emotion.
"Yes, aunt Donna. Please, stop." Amy said, holding her hands up.
"We have to talk!" Lily snapped, becoming restless. The girls quickly joined them, protecting Alcina and Lilith behind them. Lily glanced back and saw her mother's wound was healing, slowly. She glanced over and took Daniela's hand. Donna saw this and rolled her eyes.
"You know, ladies of the Blake family," Donna made the dolls stop, hovering in the air around them, watching their every move.
"The Dimitrescu Women have been using their beauty to lure women, especially maidens, and use them as their... personal entertainment. What makes you so different?" she asked, pacing back and forth. When nobody answered, she flooded their minds with true visions or memories of the Dimitrescu women, sleeping with various maidens. Lilith grimaced, Lily realized that this isn't a false vision or hallucination, but the truth. The Dimitrescu Women looked pained, embarrassed even, but didn't remove their gaze from Donna. Lilith looked at Alcina and smiled softly, understanding. Lily however, let go of Daniela's had, still glaring at Donna. Daniela gave Lily an apologetic look, before addressing her aunt.
"Donna. Enough." she growled, making everyone look at her, shocked that she was capable of such anger. Even Angie stopped.
"You are under a fucking spell by that hag Miranda! Snap out of it!!" she screamed, stepping closer to Donna. Lilith's wounds were almost healed, so she tried to break through Miranda's spell, making a bit of a difference. Alcina got up and left Lilith's side, standing in front of her daughters. Donna just looked at her, amused at their feeble attempt to stop her. Angie started laughing again. Lilith stood up, completely healed and walked over to Karl. She touched his temple with her index finger, snapping him out of his trance. He came to, blinking fiercely.
"Donna you asshole!" he yelled.
"You're all dead!!" Angie screamed.
