miranda's 'family'

Part 43: Lost And Found

It was getting later now, about 4pm as i slowly made my was to donnas house. God he can be so aggravating. I got to the altar and walked through the gate that led to donnas ive been walking in this forest for awhile now. I recalled the way im supposed to go yet i couldnt quite figure it out. I reached a large tree with dolls hanging from it. Creepy. Then i walked forward alittle more and then saw an old bridge. 

"Dont worry its been stable for ages"

I hope shes right.

I go towards the bridge and take a careful first step on the bridge. I hear a crack.

Shit, of course i make it god dam worse. I should have never expected them to be able to lie like that but at the same time they need to do it as fuck knows what mirander will do to them. I should go follow them.

I pace my way to the altar hoping that shit face is going to be sat there waiting for me or whatever. I push open the gates with both my hands and see no one i stay in that stance hanging my head in shame, letting my hair drape over my face and glasses slowly slide down my nose. I hear the clicking of hoofs and look up to see the duke setting up his stall. For once im glad to see him.

"DUKE!"

I ran towards him shouting his name hoping he could hear me, i saw his head turn around and a hopeful sigh left my lungs. If they have gone to donnas he would know. 

" ah ha Heisenburg! It is always a pleasure, what do you require? Metals, food like always."

"Cut the fucking pleasantries, have you seen (y/n) they said they were off to donnas house but somethings telling me somethings not quite right."

The duke let out a laugh, hes laughing.NOW!

" why are you laughing! Does this look like a situation where laughter cures all"

Venom dripped from my tongue. 

" my my look at how you paternal instinct has grown for this child."

"Just answer the question! Before i get my hammer and bash your skull in!"

My hand wet a light shade of blue, i left my hammer by the statue during our argument. It flew into my hand and i held it moving it to my shoulder.

The dukes face went pale.

"Now no need for such violence is there, and no i havent seen them i just got here"

Of course he wouldnt have seen them hes more focused on the lei he gets out of the endevors that the actual people involved in the transaction. Classic dick move.

"Thanks for nothing"

I ran off towards the estate gate and heard duke mutter something that i couldnt care less about.

-(y/n) PoV-

Uh oh.

 I carefully walked over the bridge yet it kept cracking i could see the end of it so i booked it to the other side. I felt the bridge collapse just as i leaped to the other side. Adrenaline coursed through my veins as i looked at the crevasse behind me. 

I let out a large breath,I continued to walk to the house. I need to tell donna about that.

-Karls PoV-

I bust in the gate and ran my way through the bloody creepy ass forest. Urg i hated it here so much. I know that im possibly being a bit too paranoid but i cant let mirander get her slimy hands on them. I got to a large tree, fucking dolls, and rested there to catch my breath abit as i was getting a bit tired. Looking down at the forest floor i saw small footprints in the mud. My heart beating with hope as i saw them trial off  further into the dammed forest. Following them they came to a stop. The bridge was gone. I thought the the worst and fell to my knees in the mud. 

I caused this.

-(y/n) PoV-

I got to the cave where i take the elevator down to the house and i flet like someone was watching me. I turned around to see nobody there. I look at the trees around me and see something move and fly away. I shrugged it off as I was in an open area after all and birds aren't uncommon.

Walking through the damp cave I see the elavator. Finally I can just relax after.... That.

I can't help but feel guilty for over-reacting. Like yeah I guess he was horrible yet I didn't really help the situation did I.

I walked in the elavator and pressed the button, it was an old fashioned type of elavator and it dinged and closed the gates as I went down into the cave.
