Magnolia in his storm: Laurel (Dottore fic)

Introduction

―

Your senses first woke up in a cold atmosphere. You can feel your brain throbbed painfully as if it was battered by a hammer, the sharp twinge you felt on your head was like a recurring dream, what is happening? Your subconsciousness gradually turned into memory and you couldn't see yourself but only a film of certain events, it felt like you don't exist in any of those particles.

The movie slowly faded as you've heard murmurs, not inside the subconscious realm but outside of the world. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘮 𝘪?

"𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘥𝘰? 𝘐𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘸𝘦'𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘴 𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦."

"𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺? 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮?"

"𝘐𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥?"

These voices... belong to males.

You tried to open your eyes, eyelashes tinkling as if it signaled the awoken fairy from its deep slumber. You could see a glimpse of rays hitting your eyes, warmth caressing every inch of your skin. Strange...

"S-She's awake!"

"What are we gonna do?"

As if electrified, you tried to lift your body half-conscious but a sharp pang of pain suddenly pinched your head. You groaned in sheer distress. An unknown sensation from your surroundings and body, your vision blurry, and your body was heavy for some reason. The most queer stuff was that you don't have any cogitation on what was happening and the reason why you're here. The only image that was left... You, standing right at the garden's fountain. Then, after that...

You glanced at your side where curious eyes were found. They were staring at you with implausible gleam in their face. They were hawking at you like you're some kind of a specie that was found rare. However, they didn't look like an average people with a normal living. They were all wearing a white lab-coat like what you see in hospitals... You frowned at the sight.

"Should we just ask her- Oh my archons, my lord!"

Your head involuntarily swift to the side when someone burst into the room. You kept your eyes keen and wide as a tall figure of man came into your sight. The first thing you noticed was his bluish-green hair swaying from the wind's gentle blow... and a mask placing right on top of his features. Unlike from these men on your side, he was more rather... A flamboyant one. Is this what they call a 'Main Character' thing?

"What are you doing inside my office--" Catching a glimpse of a foreign individual, he stopped from his tracks and eyed the other males who are now bowing their heads. You looked at the scene, blinking.

"And...what do we have here?" You immediately looked at the new-arrived person upon hearing his tone. He was standing 2 meters away from you but you could feel something tingling your skin. You didn't feel good.

"My lord, we swore that this lady was found laying on your storage room. We ourselves were confused why a mere lass like her could enter your factory. But according to the report of those guards who discovered her, they actually found a hole on the ceiling- well, not much like hole but rather... a damaged roof." The man with a medium-haired guy stumbled out.
