The Doctor Is In (Daniela Dimitrescu X female OC)

Stoking The Flames

(This is the closet image I could find to the design for Ash I had in mind. Just mentally change the thing around their neck to a long, light blue scarf wrapped around their neck. Also, I apologize for a later part of this chapter. You'll know what I'm talking about when you read it.)

Nevermore PoV:

                                After leaving a sleeping Dahlia with Daniela, I walked into Alcina's study, noticing that everyone, minus Bela, Cassandra, Dahlia, and Daniela, were present.

                                "Howdy Never." Alyssa waved, smoking a pipe. I raised an eyebrow at her, but continued nonetheless.

                                "Hello Alyssa. You told me you had something to tell us about Ash?" I asked, and she nodded.

                                "Yep! My ass of a brother has a singular, big weakness that we can exploit." She explained, and I nodded.

                                 "And that is...?" I asked, and she smiled.

                                 "He's got a short fuse. And when he's angry, he's a fucking moron. That's how we got him the first time." Miranda stood, and we turned to look at her.

                                  "If you used it before, how do we know it will work again. According to Never, his intellect grew quite severely with the Mold. He probably realized his mistake and will correct it this time around." She argued, and I raised my hand.

                                  "Mira, I would normally agree with you, but genius or not, he can't control his emotions. It was the big drawback to him receiving the Mold." Miranda nodded, sitting back down. Alyssa pulled the pipe out of her mouth, hacking smoke out of her mouth, only for Donna to take it from her.

                                   "Donna-" "No. It's bad for you." Donna gave it to Angie, who immediately took off, causing Alyssa to sigh.

                                    "Well, I'm never getting that back. Plan B I suppose." She pulled a bottle of whiskey out of her coat, popping the cap and taking a swig. Donna stared at her in disbelief, and I shook my head, before Alcina spoke up.

                                     "Besides bad habits and a lack of anger management, what strengths do we have? Besides the mutated forms we possess, has anyone ever seen Ash's?" Alyssa turned pale at those words, and chuckled nervously.

                                      "Umm, yeah, about that..." We all turned to stare at her, and she coughed into her fist, taking another swig after.

                                      "The only living person I know of who's seen Ash's mutated form, who we are very well acquainted with, who's been sleeping upstairs for the last hour or so, next to Daniela." I sighed, placing a hand over my face.

                                      "You're telling us that the only person alive who's seen Ash's mutated form is the traumatized woman upstairs who literally suppressed most of her memories about him." Alyssa nodded, and I groaned, gesturing at her. She handed me the bottle, and I took a long drink, before handing it back to her. 

                                      "Let's go say hello to the little bird then, shall we?"

??? PoV:  

                                      I chuckled as Ethan stumbled about, trying to collect his bearings. I chalked up another successful resurrection, cackling when he finally noticed me. His eyes went wide, and he raised his gun.
