Chapter 42: She's Alive?

"Y/N I'm still alive..."

You jolt awake, sweat dripping down your head and onto your back, making your shirt wet. You looked over to Alcina who was also awake, sitting next to you. She looked down at you with worried eyes as you tried to calm your breathing. She tenderly places a hand on your shoulder and you jolt your head to meet her eyes, those beautiful golden eyes. She slowly wraps your arms around your shaking body, you hadn't even realized you were shaking so bad. You buried your head into her neck, taking in her intoxicating scent, her lovely scent. After a moment you were finally able to calm your breathing and seize your shaking, you looked up at your love and she looked back at you.

"Alcina I love you."

It was random and out of the blue, but you felt like you had to say it. You never needed to say it, but right now, it seemed like you did.

"I love you too, draga mea."

You smile and place your head on her shoulder. After a moment Alcina speaks again.

"What happened?"

You grow stiff. Should you tell her? Should you tell her that Miranda's alive? It was a dream after all, but then again, when were they ever dreams?

"Alcina...I-I, umm-"

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to draga mea."

"N-no it's important."

You take in a deep breath, you love still holding you tightly, waiting for you to finish.

"It was about Miranda..."

You could feel Alcina's entire body tense up. She gripped you a little tighter.

"What about her?" she breathed, her voice was cold and distant.

"She..." you take a deep breath and prepare for the worst. "She's alive."

Time itself seemed to stop as you both sat there. Neither of you seem to even dare to breathe, the air thickened with dread.

"We need to call Misty about this." Your love spoke, breaking the silence.

Her face was hardened and lacked emocion, but her scent told a different story. It told a story of dread, anger, sadness, loss, and fear. You and your love go to the vanity and Alcina sits in the chair, you in her lap. Just as you were about to call Donna to talk to Misty the phone rang. The sudden loud sound made you jump, but you quickly picked up the phone, answering a very panicked Misty.

"Y/N!" Misty practically screamed into the phone, "Something happ-"

"I know." you swallow before answering the frazzled Misty.

"Miranda's alive somehow."

Misty goes silent, the other end of the phone was deathly quiet. After a moment you spoke, breaking the deafening silence.

"What are we going to do?"

"Well..." she pauses for a moment, a shallow breath could be heard from the phone, "We have two options. Both unclear and vague."

"What do you mean?"

"I called because I had two visions about Miranda."

You tense up. Misty told you she often had visions that could tell the future, that they could either be helpful or destructive. You look over at Alcina, who was looking away from you, but listening intently.
