miranda's 'family'

Part 45: donnas estate

-(y/n) PoV-

I got out the elavator and practicality ran to the house by the waterfall. The smell of salty water made me feel safe and secure. A smile spread across my face as i got to the door, i knocked rapidly for her. 

"Im coming!"

The sound of donnas voice soothed my growing nerves, tears pricked my eyes as i saw the silhouette of donna under the door. The oak door opened and i was greeted with the smiling face of donna, that smile faded into a face of concern as she looked around me.

"Its so nice to see you, wheres karl?"

That name caused me to cry, i wrapped my arms around donna and she patted my head hushing me. I looked up to donna and she picked me up and took me inside. I felt safe but at the same time guilty as i broke her bridge.

"Hey no need to cry doll your safe in here."

Donna gave me a genuine smile and wiped my tears away. I gave a small smile as i snuggled into her neck. I felt donna sit down with me, she pulled her head back so she could remove my head from her neck.

" so care to tell me what spurred you to come here? I love to see you but this is something else"

I nodded,

"M-me and kar h-had an argu-ument and i f-felt like i-i would be safe h-here..."

She smiled and held me in a safe embrace.

"O-oh and i broke the bridge."

I felt her sigh.

"Well thats going to take years to fix but its okay i dont mind you staying with me till its done."

I smiled and i felt sleepy and yawned.

"Lets get you some rest as you look exhausted"

I held donna tighter. 

"Thank you"

Donna stood up with me in her arms and took me to the familiar room laying me on the bed, tucking me in under the sheets.

"Dont you want me to change?"

"Bedsheets can be washed, its fine just sleep."

I curled up and hugged the quilt, i slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

-Donnas PoV-

I left the room and went down stairs to fetch some bedding and bring it back up.

I felt like something was off as I know my doll well they aren't one to be so fearful. When I said I'm here if they need me I wasn't expecting it so soon yet they are going to be here for awhile unless I ring moreau and ask him if he can somehow help me get them back, though I highly doubt it. Personally I recon they're going to be here till they reach 13 years old as I need to get the wood sand it and actually build it.

"Aaaahhh"

I heard the screams of my doll and I dropped everything, running to the room. Seeing their eyes closed I knew they were having a nightmare. Sweat drenched the bed, I stayed in the room as their tossing became more violent.

"please no... Miranda please no....NOOO"

....

"stop please it hurts, aaarrrggg"

....

They cried in their sleep, face pale and breath rapid. It broke my heart seeing such an innocent child be in a state of pure terror. I couldn't sit by.

I glided over to their bed side and put my hand on their head rubbing my thumb on the hairline.

They shot up right and their eyes glazed with terror locked with mine.

"Woah, it's just me, your safe with me now okay"

I hummed as I sat on the bed, before I sat down they latched onto me and began to weep, clearly shaken I hug them back.

"are you okay I heard you talk in your sleep"

"w-what d-d-did you hea-ar"

"everything..."

-(y/n) PoV-

I held my breath as Donna said she heard me, I began to panic more as my head began to go fuzzy. How am I going to tell Donna what happens to me that evening? I thought i was beginning  to calm down however i was wrong, donna held me tight as i let out a few muffled cries. 

"So may i enquire why you were saying 'no miranda no?' I dont want to push..."

I moved my head so i could see donnas face, she smiled as i nodded and took a deep breath in...

Karls going to be so mad at me.

-time skip-

I buried my head into my pillow as i finished telling donna what happened to me, her jaw dropped as she began to tear up, i was terrified as donna began to go red in the face. 

"Im so sorry you had to go through that...that sounds mortifying i would wish that on no child."

"W-wait so you believe me?"

She looked taken back by this.

"Why wouldn't i, i have faded memories of that too but i dont bring them up as i thought it was all a dream."

My body filled with relief as she said that. 

"Me and karl thought we were the only ones to remember what happens."

"I know that alcina and moreau dont remember anything as they are so devout to her."

I hugged her again and let out a laugh.

I was safe
