Love Without Words

Chapter 19

You gently started pulling at Donna's sleeve. She turned to you with a head tilt, clearly confused.

"I can make pollen, right? You can peer into people's mind via through the pollen, to see their memories. We can test this with Alexis and try and figure out what happened." Your voice echoed in her head.

"That's an idea. But are you up for attempting that?" Donna whispered to you.

You nodded your head. You were sure. Donna nodded back to you before turning her attention to Mother Miranda.

"Mother? If I may bring something up?"

Miranda and everyone else shifted eyes to Donna. Donna let out a small sigh.

"Y/n has proposed the idea of attempting to use the pollen to try and see what happened to Alexis. She may not remember, but I could possibly see, if it's okay with you and Alcina."

"Alcina?" Miranda asked. "She's your maid, not ours."

"She hasn't done it before, has she?" Alcina asked.

"No, but she is willing to try. She wants to help." Donna said.

Alcina looked lost in thought, but her eyes did soften.

"Alright. Follow me."

With that, everyone followed Alcina all the way to her room. You did feel nervous and you weren't sure how you were going to try and get this to work. If it even will work. This is new territory for you and that means that you still have a lot to learn about this life change.

Alcina knocked gently on the door before quickly stepping in.

"Everyone but Donna and Y/n stays out in the hall. We don't need to stress Y/n out and to help control the situation if it gets out of hand. I will be waiting if something does happen." Miranda said.

You nodded. Alcina then opened the door again and stepped aside, motioning for you and Donna to come in. Alcina then left, shutting the door behind her. There on Lady Dimitrescu's bed was a very messy Alexis.

"Hello." She said very weak.

"Hello, Alexis." Donna spoke softy. "Did Alcina tell you what's going on?"

Alexis nodded. "Yes, she did. I'm ready whenever you are."

You sat on the bed and looked over at Donna for some type of guidance.

"Just relax and try and think about what you are wanting."

A sigh left you lips. You turned to Alexis and gently placed your hands on her face. You closed your eyes a then tried to focus on releasing the pollen that was in your body. Alexis did feel cold to the touch which made it harder for you to focus for some reason.

"Breathe in and out. Don't force yourself."

Donna kept guiding you as you felt the bed shift. A few small shivers sparked through out your body which made Donna smile underneath her veil. At a steady pace, pollen and the pheromones to go with it was coming off of you. It spread through out the room and slowly Alexis's eyes started to dilate. Alexis's breathing started to pick up out of fear of what's happening.

"Relax Alexis. We don't need to turn this into a nightmare. I know it's scary, but I assure you that Y/n nor I will let anything happen to you."

You could feel the fear from Alexis and it slowly left as you felt her grip on one of your hands.

"I'm going to peer into you mind now. You will feel a bit of pressure in your head." Donna spoke.

As Donna was doing her thing, you were experiencing something else. You were getting flashing images of a woman. She had long light brown hair in a braid, light pale skin and green eyes. You wondered if this person was related to Alexis. She had the same hair and skin tone, but Alexis had grey eyes, not green.

You tried to dig deeper to try and figure out who this person was. You then saw two children playing out in a field of many, many, flowers. The two girls seemed so happy as they made flower crowns and bracelets. Then a man with a blurry face entered the picture. He had dark brown hair with a streak of grey on the side.

He seemed pleased, even accepting a flower crown and bracelet. When it was time to go, the man started to cough but brushed it off and told the girls, whom you assumed were his children, that he was fine.

Pain then suddenly shot trough your head, forcing you to pull away from Alexis. Donna took notice immediately and realized that you over did yourself.

"That's enough for now. I got some information, but I don't think it will be enough. Thank you, Alexis. Do try and get some sleep."

With that, Donna helped you out of the room. Outside everyone was waiting and wanting to know what's up.

"Did you see anything?" Miranda asked.

"I did." Donna said. "Y/n unfortunately pushed herself too hard, but, I did see a man with grey hair, about fifty-two years old. More on the taller side and skinny but not a twig."

"Hmm" Miranda hummed.

"Don't you fucking look at me." Lord Heisenberg growled.

Lady Dimitrescu was side glaring at him.

"Don't." Miranda said firmly. "I know for a fact that Karl had nothing to do with this. Let's not tear ourselves apart. Now you know what to mainly look out for."

"I'm taking Y/n home, unless you need something else?"

"No, no. Take her home. Let her rest up and try to have her do it again within limits."

Donna nodded and told Angie to follow her back home. You were leaning on Donna for dear life. When you got back to the house, you collapsed onto the floor. Only a few steps into the house, you collapsed.

"Damn, that did a number on her." Angie said.

"Well, it was her first time attempting that. You should know that because I've had similar issues when I started training myself."

You placed a hand over your chest as Donna pulled you back up to your feet. The house felt alive to you again and you could feel everything around the house. Again, something felt off and at that point you refused to go down the elevator.

"Tesoro? What are you doing?"

You pushed against Donna, forcing her to take a few steps back. Something was wrong. You didn't want to go down the elevator.

"Please don't make things harder than it needs to be." Donna pleaded.

You shook your head and pushed back harder.

"Donna..." Angie said quietly. "Someone's in the house."

"I'm sorry?" Donna said in disbelief. "I should be able to tell. How come I can't?"

"I think Y/n's emotions or pain is consuming you and you can't sense it. But, Y/n can feel it, that's why she won't budge."

This was a huge problem. You were in no shape to protect Donna. However, if it calls for it you will jump for Donna and keep her safe. Sounds of the elevator going up alerted Donna and immediately she pulled you back.

As the elevator came up, you felt a sickness in the pit of your stomach. Things were about to get messy. Really, really, messy.
