Love Without Words

Chapter 26

At some point you fell asleep shortly after lunch. You were on the couch while everyone was in the next room over. You were stretched out on the couch and very comfortable. While sleeping, you suddenly woke standing up. You looked around and saw your body on the couch, you were having this weird out of body experience again.

You walked into the room that everyone was in. You could hear everyone talk and see perfectly fine. To test a theory you had you went up to Mother Miranda since she was the closest to you, and stood directly I'm front of her. Mother Miranda continued talking with stopping. She couldn't see you. You then reached out and touched her face. To your surprise she flinched and moved back a bit.

"Mother Miranda?" Alcina said concerned. "Are you alright?"

"It felt like something touched my face. Could be a breeze or something. I'm fine though."

You took a mental note of that. You then decided to kind of explore the nearby areas. The kitchen was fairly empty with two maids staying behind cleaning and a few walking in and out with drinks. It was an odd thing that no one could see you. You definitely were going to have to get used to that everytime this happens.

You walked back to your body in hopes of some how returning to normal. What surprised you was that Donna was laying on the couch with your head in her lap. Angie was nowhere to be seen. Donna was gently running her fingers through your hair, which you could feel even in this state.

"You're Lady Beneviento, correct?"

You turned your head to see who entered the room and your eyes went wide. It was the woman that was with the older man. You didn't know that she worked as a maid for Lady Dimitrescu. It then all made sense to you now. Who shot at Mother Miranda. It was her and who knows what she's going to do with Donna.

"Yes?" Donn responded slowly.

The woman smiled. The smile was a dangerous and the intent to you was clear. She was going to hurt Donna.

"If I may ask, you seem to be very close to your maid. She seems... special to you, yes?"

Even in this state you can feel Donna's uneasiness. "Yes? Why do you ask?"

"I don't know. It's just nice to see people that love each other out and about. It makes me a bit sad that I don't have someone special." The woman said.

Donna stopped running her fingers through my hair and silently looked at the woman.

"Unfortunately," The woman said glaring at Donna. "I have to be the one to kill you both."

You made your move the moment the words left that woman's mouth. It looked like an invisible force just pushed this woman down onto her back and something fighting to take the gun. Donna screamed as she gripped onto you, trying to wake you up. You felt yourself get pulled back to you body, but you refused.

You let go now, this woman was going to shoot Donna. Slowly, yellow liquid slid out of your closed eyes, now releasing pollen into the air. Because of Donna's scream, Angie came flying into the room with everyone else behind her.

"What the hell is this?" Karl asked, scratching his head. Mother Miranda watched like everyone else did. What was invisible? Then Mother Miranda's nose twitched, taking in the faint smell of pollen in the air. Her eyes immediately looked at your body and she saw the pollen leaking out of your eyes.

"Everyone, I want you to watch and observe. This is Donna's maids powers. A part of them anyway." At Mother Miranda's words, everyone stood silently and watched this play out. Donna on the other hand was terrified. She knew why you weren't waking up. She put two and two together.

The fact that this woman wanted to kill you is what scared her the most. Because of the pollen, you got the upper hand faster, taking the gun out of the woman's hand and then knocking her out cold. You then dropped the gun as you got sucked back into your body.

Your eyes shot open as you sat up. "What the hell is that smell? It's faint but sweet?" Karl asked smelling the air.

Donna warp her arms around you. She nuzzled into you and you could feel her fear. You leaned back into Donna, turning yourself in a way to where you could embrace her as well. "That smell, Karl, is the pollen the Y/n is able to produce and spread. If you look, her right eye is yellow with the substance coming down her face." Mother Miranda said.

Miranda started explaining your abilities while Donna lead you to the bathroom. She was helping clean you up and unfortunately your dress was stained yellow.

"I'm sorry..."

"For what?" Donna asked confused.

"For staining the dress. You now have to make a new one."

"Nonsense! I don't mind remaking your dress." You could tell that Donna was terrified about something.

"What's wrong? I sense your fear." As Donna wiped away the yellow substance, her hands started to shake, her body... started to shake. You gently took Donna's veil off, gently setting it aside. You took Donna's shaking hands into your gently ones.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm scared..." Donna whispered. "I'm scared to lose you." You felt her insecurities but more importantly, you felt guilt.

"Why are you guilty?"

"I- It's because of me. It's my fault that you are not in the crossfire." Tears threatened to fall as Donna's bottom lip started to quiver. Your lips parted slightly in slight shock.

"Donna, amore mio, nothing is your fault. We are together now, your burdens and problems are mine and vice versa. I'm here with you through the thick and thin. You have nothing to fear. I'll be by your side."

Donna calmed down with a few tears slipping down her face. "I don't deserve you..." You tilted your head with a slight pout plastered on your face. "Thank you, Y/n. For everything. I love you so much."

Donna's lips met yours as her arms wrapped around you. The familiar embrace made you melt against Donna. It felt like she was terrified to let you go but you loved the feeling. Donna then pulled away from you with a huge smile on her face.

"Come on. Let's head back and see what's going to be of that woman." Donna then put her veil back on and held her hand out to you. Without hesitation, you took her hand as you followed Donna close behind. As you got closer to that woman, both of your eyes are now glowing a bright yellow.
