miranda's 'family'

Part 46: 13th birthday

-karls PoV-

Its been 3 years since the death of my little shit, i go to their room expecting them to be there however it is always the same. I remember the time they told me their birthday, its today, 13 they would be, i think its time to go visit the tree.

I get up out of my chair and grab the bottle of whisky as im at it taking my leave, heading to donnas estate. 

Ive had many run ins with mirander but i am more passive aggressive towards her as my plan is almost finished about one month and it will be ready, i will have no mercy yet i must bide my time. Taking another large swig i get to the factory doors and grab my hammer just in case i need to kill something or someone. The sun is rising and the bitter winds slash my face, i fucking hate the snow. 

After a bit of walking i manage to get to the altar, the fat prick is there giving me a wretched smile. 

"Ah lord heisenberg always a pleasure how-"

"Dont just fucking dont, today is not the day for this bullshit okay."

He gives me an accepting nod and i begin to walk into donnas estate. I hear the crunching of my feet against the snow as i reach the tree. I see the doll still there, swaying in the breeze. My heart again shatters as i see the collection of things i brought here in hopes that one day, just one they might be there, beaming up at me, forgiving me.

I take a walk to the gap where a bridge should be and i notice that its been fixed entirely with more secure wood and metal. 3 years it took, 3 too late. I want to walk to the donnas house and greet her as she too lost someone close, i dont think that would be wise as i know that she likes to be alone walst grieving or in general.

I take my leave and head back to my factory, admiring the morning sun against the pure snow.

-(y/n) PoV-

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 13 years old and each day i helped donna fix the bridge i broke walst in a strop with uncle karl. I go running down the stairs and see donna on the phone, probably trying to get into contact with him, we ring the same time everyday but he never answers. 

Me and donna have been getting so much closer after telling her about what happened, shes been my emotional support puppy as when i get anxious she is always there to calm me down. Donna puts the phone down and gives me a shrug, i hear angie squeal with delight, i looked in the direction of the sound and donna quickly covers my eyes. 

"Nuh uh uhhh thats not allowed you have to get ready, i made you something to put on."

She spun me around and then pushed me up, Angie hovered around my eyes as I tryed to look downstairs.

"naughty naughty, can't look yet no no no...."

I laughed and Donna sighed.

I made it to my room that me and Donna decorated with flora and other nature based things.

I loved staying with Donna, we made lots of cake and tea. My favourite cake was red velvet, we were pretty much inseparable. Angie and I played hide and seek a lot as that was her favourite game, of course we played it today!

I left the room and Donna let out a gasp and she hugged me tight,

"you look amazing, like always!"

My cheeks flushed a rose pink and we went down stairs to a decorated room with banners and everything.

I saw eligantly wrapped gifts from everyone.

Alcina got me a book on folk lore
Moreau got me a sketch book with marine life on it
Donna got me a note book
Miranda and Karl were the only ones that didn't get me anything.

Time rolled by as we played so many games and ate so much food. I was enjoying my time here.

We sat at the table and Donnas face turned pale.

"w-we need to talk."
