miranda's 'family'

Part 32: Safety

It's been a few hours since I regained consciousness after miranda used me as a Guinea pig. I was sore and light headed.

"hey child, drink this"

Miranda walked in and handed me a cup with a dark green substance. I inspected it with great caution.

"it isn't poison its just something to hell with the pain"

I nodded and drank it. It tasted vile.

"urg that's nasty"

"it will help"

Nodding I handed her the cup.

"what can you remember?"

"nothing why I am just really sore"

Again a lie, I remembered everything.

She smiled and walked out, i decided to write what she did to me down again to show the other Lords.

"oh by the way ill be dropping you off at whom ever you choses estate."

"can I go back to Karl"

"of course"

She shut the door and locked it, I grabbed the paper and started writing.

After attempting to write it down I stuffed it in the back of leah and curled up on the bed.

Stairing at the ceiling I waited to be taken back to Karl. He was right. I shouldn't have trusted her.

After finishing that thought she walked in.

Speak of the devil.

"time to go"

Weirdly I felt so much better, the soreness was gone and the scabs have disappeared entirely.

Like nothing happened

She flew me down to the factory with a smile as she opened the door ushering me in.

"UNCLE KARLL!"

"KIDDO!"

I ran into his arms as he was coughed on the floor his arms wrapped around me. Miranda left my stuff in the doorway.

The warmth of his hug made me feel safe and secure away from that things malevolent and hideous nature.

"all in one piece"

I let out a slight humph at that.

"I need to leave now, I will need them back in a few years but for now goodbye"

With that she walked out the factory.

Karl stoked my hair as I buried my head in his neck, the smell of motor oil and cologne slowing my heart rate.

I began to cry, breaking down infront of him as hot tears soaked his jacket.

"hey hey hey, shhhh it's okay your safe now....What did that bitch do to you!"

He saw the blood that marked my clothes.

I heard a growl emmit from his throat as he said that, I buriedy head deeper and shook my head.

"okay I understand, breathe. I've got you. She ain't gunna touch you again."

I moved back from the comforting hug and pointed to leah who was peering out my bag.

"I-in h-her b-back."

He let go and grabbed the doll inspecting it's back to see a corner of paper hanging out.

I walked over to him, he handed me leah and picked me up along with my backpack.

"a backpack ay, that's real cool. I can make you some badges for it if you want me to."

I looked up at him and smiled.

"y-yeah"

We walked to his room and he placed me down on the bed sitting next to me with his arm wrapped around my body as I began to read the papers.
