First Person P.O.V - (Y/N)

-"The plan is!" Karl Heisenberg exclaimed this after he ripped the sheet off of the wall, Salvatore standing in the room with him with a computer designed by Heisenberg himself, camera pointing at him. "Mother Miranda is hunting down a man named Ethan Winters, tracking him for a while now. She plans on taking his child, Rosemary, turning her into Eva, as she failed to do with us."
-I stand beside Dimitrescu and Donna as we stand on the other side, watching Karl go on like a professor in a zoom call class. Donna holds on to my palm tight, Angie finally remaining quiet for the first time in a while since she got here. I can sense the urgency coming off of her body as she comes closer. It's the first time she's gotten to see me since the cabin, and she would've hugged me if she wasn't anxious about Dimitrescu.
-"She's going to try to use Ethan against us. I don't know how just yet, but there's something she's gonna try.. I want to try to flip this on her. Bring Ethan to our side! We can convince him."
-"But in order to do that, we gotta be on his." I say. "I don't think trying to use Rose is going to be on his side."
-"Rose is our best bet! Mother Miranda is even scared of her, there's no way we can't!"
-"That there looks like a baby. I don't think you can use a child of that age to do anything. How do you think you're going to use her? Shoot her like a gun??"
-"Perhaps we can have you drink some of her, since we've learned about your little consumption ability."
-I grimace at the thought of harming a child, and I shake my head silently. "We're not gonna need Rose if all of us cooperate as we should." I say. "Having Ethan on our side will only be a little good, I don't think he's necessarily all sorts of powerful. He's not a necessity."
-"Maybe not, but Mother Miranda sees something in him. If you've got any sense of intuition, you'd see it too."
-"...Maybe."

-It's forever until the meeting ends and Dimitrescu leaves Donna and I alone, Angie digging through the dresser as I sit beside the woman with her hands clasped in mine.
-"Would it be stupid of me to admit I was worried she'd have eaten you alive by now?" Donna asks me, referring to Dimitrescu.
-I can't help but laugh. "No, I'm not at all against the thought." I say. "I suppose you weren't at all concerned about me eating her?" I release one of my hands and unsheathed the claws I didn't have before, and Donna shakes her head silently, looking at them.
-"No, I hadn't even considered that.."
-"Well.. I believe you'll have a little bit more faith in me." I smile, and Donna smiles back at me for a moment before she looks at the ground silently. "Is there something wrong?" Tell me.
-"I suppose I'm little jealous is all." She wouldn't have said it, I can tell by the way she grimaces at herself. "J-Just, I thought you two wouldn't get along and apparently you got along enough for her to trust you and for her to trust you, I-I guess.. It's stupid."
-"Yeah? A little bit. But you also know that if there's anyone I trust most, it's gonna be you." She looks back at me, and I have an urgency to continue. "Listen, if.. I have a good feeling about this plan, but if anything falls apart, it's gonna be us."
-"What?"
-"I worded that wrong." I take both of her hands in mine, and I look her in the eyes. I want to get my point across. "This plan is about all of us, for Dimitrescu and her daughters, for Karl, for Salvatore, for you and I. We're all going to be free and happier, that's what this is about.. But if the plan fails, if Ethan is stronger than I think, if Mother Miranda is stronger, hell, if she knows.. If all else fails, it's me and you. You and I, we run."
-"It'll just be us then? Angie too?"
-"Anything you can bring.. I want to take you back, to my home. I want you to know what it's like, and maybe.. Maybe we can figure this out." I reach a hand and I cup the side of her face, glancing at her scar and the Megamycete that accompanies. "I'm hoping it works out and we can fix Moreau, and help you so we can live how we were meant to. We can learn. I adore you no matter what, but I know you're not happy, and that's all I wish for.. This place just isn't it."
-Donna presses her lips together tight for a moment. "Do you really think that we can fix me?" She asks.
-"It's not fixing, there's nothing of you to fix. You're perfect." I shake my head with a smile. "Moreau is a different story though."
-Donna laughs at me, putting her hand on the back of mine. "That's so mean.. But you're right."
-"I know." I laugh a little more, before I clear my throat. "But.. We can get you an eye patch, we can go on walks and you can wow kids with Angie? Don't let her float around or anything.. Make a living out of your work. If it works out, we can help Moreau, Heisenberg can work in the autoshop or something?.. Dimitrescu can be in the carnival."
-"No way in hell."
-I laugh again, which causes Donna to laugh back as I think about just how angry the 9"4 woman would be. "Okay, we'll have to think about it for her, but.. If all else fails, it's you and I."
-"Me and you."
-"Us." It becomes quiet, and I take a deep breath in, before I glance across every feature on her face. "I'm gonna do something. Do you trust me?"
-"You're the only one I do trust."
-I nod, and I cup the other side of her face, before leaning in and pressing my lips against hers. She's cold, as expected, but there's a heat that grows between us I close my eyes. Her lips are chapped, and she almost doesn't feel real, like I'm trying to kiss a colorful fog, but regardless, she finds the courage to attempt a kiss back, gripping my hands tight in hers.
-It feels like forever, but when I break the kiss, it feels like it was too short. After a moment of silence, Donna whispers to me.
-"I don't know how to kiss." I can't help but snicker. "Don't laugh at me!"
-"You did just fine Donna." I coo. "We've got all the time in the world to practice.. If you're okay with me kissing you again?"
-"You can."
-"And again??"
-"As many times as you want."
-"Don't give me that permission, you'll never get rid of me."
-"I don't think I'm against that."
-I kiss her again, and this time around she's evidently more comfortable, kissing me back although she doesn't know what she's doing.
-*Dis-fucking-SGUSTING." Our moment ends when I look over to see Angie drop everything in her tiny arms before us. "You fucking losers are over here swapping herpes and shit? What the fuck is this?"
-"Did you just learn the word herpes?"
-"Heisenberg said it on the call when he was making fun of the ugly fish freak. I think it's funny but now I think you're herpes is disgusting."
-I shake my head. "You don't even know what herpes is."
-"It's cooties dumbass."
-"Sure." I look at Donna and smile. "I do like your cooties though."
-"I like yours too."
-Angie is throwing books at us.

-Just like our kiss, the time I get to spend with Donna feels like a heavenly eternity, and then she leaves, and it feels like it was only a few seconds. But she couldn't stay any longer, it was far too dangerous as it was to even see her.
-The time is coming up that Mother Miranda will bring Ethan into the mix, and her darling Eva will be alive, by her hopes. I just need to convince her, and slowly hut surely I will.
-Time moves slow, I visit the siblings on my own accord, making sure we're all in line, and I'm donated powers from each, a little bit of every one of them is part of me.
-I stand with my hands behind my back and a smile on my face as I hold back the anger in my chest as Mother Miranda burns the outfit Donna built for me before my eyes. My loyalty to Mother Miranda -and I can't be more sarcastic- knows no bounds, no limits. I am devoted to her in every sense of the word, and as I stand dressed in a black and white tuxedo, my eyes glowing more yellow than ever before, I seep my manipulation right into her head with ease as I look into her eyes.
-You trust me.
