Fair Maiden - Alcina x Fem Reader

73: Three Days

Three Days Until The Ceremony.

Tensions are rising at Castle Dimitrescu as the day of the ceremony approaches. The week is slipping away, seemingly falling between your anxiously grasped fingers. Everyone is trying their best to remain optimistic, but even that has proven to be a challenge. The uneasy feeling in everyone's heart is noticable, eating away at their sanity.

Perhaps today, that unsettling feeling will dwindle. Alcina has called Donna and Heisenberg, requesting that they pay a visit to the castle. Without additional information, they accepted Alcina's invitation. Alcina's mind has been spiraling around possibilities regarding the ceremony. If the outcome is to be in your favor, you and Alcina will need all the help you can get.

"Alright sis, what's this about?" Heisenberg asks, plopping his weight into an armchair and kicking his feet up onto the coffee table.

Donna sits next to you on the couch, giving Devil dog gentle scratches under his chin. To spare distractions, the girls took Angie to play hide and seek within the other wing of the castle. Alcina stands at the front of the little group, poised, despite her nerves.

"As you may know, the ceremony is only a few days away." Alcina begins. "Mother Miranda has made her intentions clear. She wishes to use Y/N as a host for Eva. However, I'm afraid I can't let that happen."

"What does that have to do with us?" Heisenberg questions.

"We need your help." You exclaim.

"With what exactly, dear?" Donna asks.

"Putting an end to Mother Miranda's torture, once and for all." Alcina cuts in.

"Alcina, what are you insinuating?" Donna questions.

"The only way to stop Miranda is to kill her." You utter.

Heisenberg's feet gradually slide from the coffee table as he leans forward.

"I knew you were crazy, but I didn't think you were completely out of your fucking mind." Heisenberg exclaims.

"Karl! Is that really nessacary!?" Donna protests.

"She's got a death wish if she thinks she can stand against Miranda!" Heisenberg hollers.

"Heisenberg, that's enough!" Alcina growls.

"OOO sensitive topic. My bad." Heisenberg says sarcastically. "You can't be serious about this, Alcina!"

"Miranda lost my respect long ago!" Alcina exclaims. "She's threatened the one thing I love most besides my daughters and I won't let her get away with it!"

"That doesn't sound like it's my problem." Heisenberg remarks.

"I'll make it your problem." Alcina snarls.

"Enough!" You yell, abruptly standing to your feet.

Their mouths snap shut, eyes wide as they stare at you.

"This wasn't Alcina's idea. It was mine." You begin, voice strong and clear. "I know your loyalty has been dedicated to Miranda for centuries, but for what reason? Because she made you immoral? Gave each of you abilities that she repeatedly takes advantage of? She uses you for her own selfish needs, showing you no gratitude in return. You're nothing to her."

"Listen, Y/N." Heisenberg utters, voice now calm. "You make a fair point. But, you haven't seen the true chaos Miranda can unleash. She's merciless. If you dare stand in the way of what she wants, she will bury you six feet under. This is a losing battle, kid. Trust me."

"The battle is only lost if you never put in any effort in the first place." You exclaim.

"Stopping Miranda is the only thing that's seen my effort." Heisenberg remarks.
