Miranda's POV

Today was the day you took K to Misty's house in the woods. You sigh heavily as you lean against the kitchen counter, a plate of french toast was on the table nearby, ready to be devoured by the little girl. You were about to go up there when you could hear the small feet of the child coming down the stairs until she reached the kitchen. You could see the surprise wash over her face as she looked at the food then at you.

"Well are you just gonna stand there, or are you going to eat?" you snap slightly, getting impatient

K quickly sat at the table and began eating her food. You begin to peck at some fruit and seeds nearby, slipping them under your mask so as to not reveal your face. Ever since your mutation you've grown quite fond of fruit and seeds, even shiny things that caught your attention would be snatched. You guess it was because of the crow DNA now mixed with yours, you would study it more, but alas, you couldn't experiment on yourself. It didn't matter anyways, you just had to find a vessel for Eva, that was all that mattered. You glance over to see the child finishing up her breakfast before cleaning up. She was going to clean her dish, but you stopped her.

"We don't have time, child, let's go." you say before walking out the kitchen, K following close behind

"Do you have everything?"

The child just nods and puffs up her chest, wanting to look braver than she felt. If only a normal human could hear how fast her little heart was racing. You open your arms and the child hesitantly welcomes your embrace. Without a second thought your 6 black wings sprouted from your back, tearing the skin and flesh apart to make room for them. You wrap them around your and the child, making a feathery cocoon before telling the child to close her eyes before teleporting to Misty's house with ease.

You open your wings and K slowly lets you go. You turn to knock on the door, you could hear the sound of something crashing and glass breaking followed by an unmistakable voice. Before you could investigate the door swings open to reveal a rather dirty looking Misty.

She was wearing a short sleeved white dress with small pink flowers peppering the dress. It went all the way to her ankles and had a v-neckline, showing off her breast. White gloves covered her hands, and her white hat was sitting on her head, slightly tilted to the right, quite like how Alcina liked to wear her's. Her hair was in a tight ponytail that exposed her neck and collarbone. Dirt covered her dress and gloves as she greeted you with a smile.

"Hello Mother Miranda, K. I do apologize for my appearance. I lost track of time and was working in the garden."

You only nodded and ushered the child forwards. K took a cautious step forward and Misty just smiled warmly at her. For some reason, seeing Misty's unkempt appearance, her smile, it made your stomach do flips, but not in a bad way. K walked in the house, leaving only you and Misty together. She stepped out of the house and closed the door before speaking to you.

"So what will you do about her mother?" she asked, her voice quiet and barely audible.

"I'll most likely send her to my daughter, Alcina. She can provide Shara with the proper food, shelter, and care she needs."
