Fair Maiden - Alcina x Fem Reader

43: Let Me Help You Forget

You're body tenses as Alcina jolts from her comfort. The phone chimes loudly, it's high pitched ring bouncing off the walls and interrupting the peaceful silence. Alcina glances down at you with a worried look overtaking her features. She stands, setting you back in the chair as she quickly stamps over to answer the phone. She sits at her vanity and reaches for the receiver. Holding it tightly in her hand, she lifts it to her ear.

"Alcina speaking."

"No shit, you super-sized wood tick." It's Heisenberg. "How was your lovely vacation? Glad you could relax while the rest of us are busting our asses trying to keep Mother Miranda's host from slipping through our fingers."

"What do you want you filthy simpleton?" She scoffs.

"Oh, you know, just wanted to catch up with my big sis. How's that pet of yours? Heard you got her fixed."

"Don't waste my time, Heisenberg. I have far more important things to do than listen to your slander." Alcina warns.

"More important than securing your castle?"

"What do you mean?" Alcina's voice rumbles between bared teeth.

"What I mean is that damn man-thing, as you would call him, escaped. The bastard somehow cut himself from the chains and got away."

"You fool!" Alcina barks.

"Hey now, you try keeping a freak that can regenerate limbs contained!" Heisenberg snarls. "Not as fucking easy as you'd think it would be."

Alcina clenches her jaw as she hold the phone away from her so she can collect herself. She turns to you for a moment. You look at her with wide eyes, face full of fear. She lightens her gaze, softening her features.

"Draga mea, please go find Bela." She requests, trying to hide her worry and rage. "Take devil dog with you."

You slowly nod, rising from your chair. Your lycan joins you at your side. Sticking to you like duct tape. Grabbing onto the fur of his neck with a shaky hand, he leads you out of the room. Once you're gone, Alcina lifts the phone back to her ear.

"What the fuck? Are you seriously ignoring me right now." Heisenberg complains. "This isn't a joke, you pretentious mosquito."

"I'm well aware of that!" She snarls back at him. "It just so happens that my 'pet' was sitting on the other side of the room."

"Keeping her on a short leash, are ya?"

"For Mother's sake, Karl! For once in your pathetic life will you shut your damn mouth!? This isn't a matter to take lightly!" Alcina's voice rumbles from her throat as her irritation grows.

"You think I don't know that!?" He yells. "You're not the one who let the rat out of the trap! Not only that, but the rat bastard also stole my fucking property!"

"You're telling me, he not only escaped, but he also managed to steal the fragment of the child!?"

"Oh for fuck sake. Is all that blood clogging your ears? Yes, he escaped and stole the child!" Heisenberg groans.

"Is Mother Miranda aware of this?" Alcina asks.

"Not yet. I figured since you seem to think you're her favorite, you could break the news to her."

"You've got to be joking." Alcina exclaims.

"No, you old bat, I'm not joking. I intend to track the asshole down while you and Donna prepare yourselves. He's a sneaky little shit, so I figured you could use a heads up. You're welcome."

"Oh, however can I repay you?" Alcina asks sarcastically.

"You can start by calling Mother Miranda. And if the fuck-wad happens to get to you before I can get to him; kick him in the nuts for me, will ya?" Heisenberg says.
