miranda's 'family'

Part 52: Hope For The Hopeless

Opening my eyes to the familiar surroundings, a dim light flooded my room. As my eyes adjusted to the lighting i heard a sound in the corner of my room. Seeing a figure, My mind went into a frenzy as i slowly pulled the cover up over my face. Who the fuck was that. Trying to regulate my breathing i heard movement. It began to move, the sound of footsteps drew closer till they stopped. I held my breath till the cover came flying off and i screamed.

"AHHH FUCK"

I threw a punch and felt contact. My eyes were screwed shut form fear.

"OW!! What the shit?!"

I opened one of my eyes and saw it was karl he was holding his face. My eyes shot open and i gasped. 

"A-are you okay there?"

"Fucking hell, why did you do that..."

His voice went to a higher pitch towards the end of the sentence which made me chuckle. He lowered his hand and laughed with me.

"Well if you weren't a prick then ya know there wouldnt be a red mark on your cheek."

He stood there mouth open with a shocked look on his face. Then he broke out into laugher. I smiled and began to laugh with him. Maybe things could go back to normal?

"Christ never knew you were so jumpy..."

"Well when i see something in the corner of my room i am inclined to be on edge am i not? Anyways what were you doing?"

"I sat down and made sure you were okay but then i slowly fell asleep the woke up to the movement of you... since when did you talk all posh?"

"Since donna has given me speaking lessons"

He nodded and he rolled his eyes. I sighed at this and began to roll back over.

"What do you think your doing?"

"Well since i was so rudely interrupted i thought i might go back to sleep."

"Well ya cant as i have a plan which i need to talk to you about."

"Tough luck it can wait"

I grabbed the covers and turned my back on him with a smirk on my face. 

"Oh no you little shit"

with that he grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder.

"OI WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOINNGGG"

I flailed in his grip but all he did was laugh will we got to his office.

"PUT ME DOWWNNNN"

"As your mightyness requests."

He dropped me on the floor like a sack of potatoes. A sharp pain jolted through me as i made contact with the cold tiled floor.

"Ow what the shit!"

He sat down and picked up a cigar. Swivelling in his chair as the embers form the cigar glew a soft auburn, the thick smell of smoke made me feel at comfort due to the memories.

"Whats so important you couldnt just tell me in that room you had to carry me to this room. Did i mention you carried me here?"

sarcasm laced my words as he just smiled.

" theres a way to bring down mirander once and for all... "

"But?"

He stood up, cigar pursed between his lips as he showed me his board and plan. He looked at me running his hands through his hair with the look of regret.

"It happens when your alot older"
