miranda's 'family'

Part 47: Truth And Lies

I shift in my seat, nerves kicking in.... I rang Alcina and Moreau.  I haven't told Karl my self that I'm alive, In all fairness I thought he knew I was okay till Alcina rang that one day.

-flash back-

I was sat in my room, 3 days before my birthday I was going to be a teen in 3 days!

I was scribbling in a almost full book till I herd the phone ring.

"I'VE GOT IT!"

Running down stairs I picked up the phone. My heavy footsteps against the polished wood.  The sound of the phone echoed throughout the house and i reached the hallway where the phone was located.

"Hello this is house Beneviento...who is this and how can i help?"

"(Y/N) hello glad you picked up we need to talk now..."

My face went pale as she said that, i twirled the chord of the phone line.

"Yeah sure"

I heard a long sigh come from the other end of the line, my heart began to beat faster till she spoke.

" you know the day you left Heisenberg? Well i found out that he thought you have died."

My heart sank yet as i recalled all the fun times we had together and how he helped me in my recovery from that incident. I let out a huff and lent my back against the desk where the phone was situated.

"Look i know you arent on the best of terms with him but he hasnt left his factory since the day you went. I insist you tell him please, im not one to care for that man child however he is still my brother."

"Urg i will eventually dont worry auntie"

"Promise me?"

"Yess"

With that i heard Donna shout for me from the garden.

"Sorry aunt but Donnas calling me."

"Yes yes we shall be speaking soon"

The line went dead 

-End of Flashback-

Donna was snapping infront of may face as i zoned out, i cam back to reality and shook my head.

"So what did you need to talk about then"

Donna rolled her eyes and gripped the bridge of her nose as if i was being an idiot, looking into my eyes tension filled the room, i shifted again and then i realised 

"Oh so let me guess you want me to tell Karl im alive yeah"

"Well yes you said you would do it 3 days ago!" 

I jumped as Donna raised her voice. I put my head on the table i was having such a good birthday and now i feel so bad. Donna never raises her voice.

"Sorry but you really need to tell him, he hasnt been himself without you, when ive been out in town i normally see him with duke buying food but now i never see him. I often get glimpses of him by the tree on my estate. It isnt healthy, please go see him."

I didnt know what to do, i watched as donna got up and smiled.

"Fine i guess it might be a good idea since it has been 3 years, shall i go now?"

She nodded and pulled me into a tight embrace, her warmth made me feel safe.
