miranda's 'family'

Part 27: Anger And Alcohol

-Karl's PoV-

I rang moreau last night about me coming around today to take (y/n) out thinking it would be a kind gesture. Moreau being the pushover he is agreed with little to none persuasion.

How can he look after them if he is that willing to give them up. But it's okay as they are going with me back to the factory before mirander decides to cut their time prematurely.

I get to the gate of moreaus estate, vile place never had liked it but I'm here to get my kid back.

God is this what parenting is like fucking hell.

I reached the mill in mere minuets as I wanted to get them out of this situation.

I was waiting to hear the call of 'uncle karl' or something...

Yes I am still mad at the little shit but I suppose it was me being overly careful as they are so young... Eugh when did I become so sappy...

I opened the gate and walked in. Nobody was around huh I told this fishy prick that I would be here after 12 he can't even listen.

I wandered around a little bit till I heard a muffled shreak.

Shit he better not have hurt them I told him down the phone....

I got to the door and opened it to be greated with a sight that made me pissed.

"what the FUCK!"

-(y/n) PoV-

Karl yelled which made me draw back out of fear causing more pain.

"moreau you slimy shit face..."

Karl marched over to moreau and made a metal pipe get heald to his throat.

"uncle Karl, please calm down he was helping till you busted in making him drop the bottle on my arm!"

He turned to look at me, his dark eyes soffened when I gave him the puppy eye look. Moreau looked horrified physically trembling.

Karl dropped him and came over to me, ruffling my hair he sighed.

"sorry bout that. I know he was a doctor but still... Seeing you hurt hurts me... You little shit."

I nodded

"moreau you were a doctor."

"yes I was but ill get into that later let's fix you up before I get murdered..."

Moreau hobbes back over to me and pulled shards of glass out of my arm grabbing another antiseptic bottle.

Karl watched intently as moreau works. Grabbing a another bottle and dousing a cloth in in moreau places in on the wounds

" what was that? "

" alcohol it will keep the wounds clean"

Karl started to get impatient.

"how did this happen anyways!"

"moreau was teaching me how to swim and on my way out I cut my arm on a nail or something,"

Karl shook his head.

"I guess I am being too protective.... But still what the fuck."

I laughed yet moreau stayed focused on bandaging my arm.

"d-done"

Karl inspected my arm. Roughly moving it to see if anything looks wrong.

"huh nice work"

"you can let go now as ouch"

Karl sighed and looked at moreau

"maybe I need to calm down, I'll pick them up at the end of the week same time"

Moreau nodded

"oh and shit face, sorry bout this whole thing but just don't do it again yeah"

I rolled my eyes

"don't be an idiot then"

I gave Karl a large grin as he walked out the door, shaking his head at me he closed the door.

Moreau sighed and turned to me.

"I'm s-sorry for the additional injuries"

"it's okay he was being a idiot, it's not your fault, brother"

Moreau once again looked confused, I cleared it up by punching him in the shoulder. He shook his head.

"oh your not getting away with that"

I ran to the pool and moreau followed, he was quite quick.

I got cornered and he picked me up like a sack of potatoes. Slowly walking to the edge of the pool.

"nonononono NO moreauuu"

I laughed out as he began to swing me over the water.

"1...2...3!"

On three he threw me.

"aaahhhh!"

But I didn't go in the water just got caught by moreau again.

"ha ha! Very funny"

He was laughing, thought that laughter he tried to speak

"you... can't swim... with an open wound... sorry."

I rolled my eyes and lay in his arms arms flopping over the side of his.

"oh my, my arm I can't do anything"

I mimicked a posh voice, moreau shook his head as his laughs died down.

"oh what ever shall I do!"

He carried me to an unfamiliar location. It was behind the rocks that I never really explored.

"you can watch me as I work? If you want?"

"yeah!"

I smiled and moreau put me down. He walked further into the crevasse to reveal a large cavern with steps to go up.

We got to a room, it was large and had a work space. There was a telly along with a thing in a jar. Shelves stocked woth medical supplies and other various equipment.

"this is one of many workspaces I have, this is the safer one."

'safer one' what does he mean by that?

He sat at the table and started working making notes and experimenting with the thing in the jar.
