With The Hideous ~ A Dottore/reader fanfic

Chapter 13 ~ Mila-Part 2

You stayed silent as you patted Zandy on the head, his curly hair intertwining between your fingers. You didn't have anything to say.

You held his head against your chest hoping he'd fall asleep, there was something you needed to do.

Pantalone said Mila was downstairs, in the cells. How would you go about getting down there…

You sighed and thought long and hard on how you'd do this.

That's when a thought popped into your head, but you didn't know if it would be safe..

“Zandy..”

You whispered.

The small boy raised his head looking up into your eyes.

“If I ask you something.. will Do- Prime, know what I asked?”

Speaking with a hushed voice the boy thought to himself for a moment.

“Uhm… yes? Uhm.. maybe?”

“You don't know?”

You asked with a concerned tone of voice, he looked at you for a moment before replying.

“What do you want to ask miss..?”

You hesitated for a moment but this was the only person that was probably naive enough to tell you how to get down there.

“How do I get downstairs.”

He stared into you with his crimson eyes and thought for a moment.

“But.. why would you want.. to go there.”

You weren't expecting him to question you, shit, think of something.

You couldn't think of any excuse so the best remaining choice was to just beg.

“I- I need to.. please Zandy.”

He rose from your laps and whispered in your ear.

“It's at the end of the downstairs corridor, after the library, but you can't get in without the keys.”

Shit. Well at least he told you in the end, that was the good thing.

“Well, where do I get the keys then?”

“Primes office.”

Of course.

You sighed, suddenly this was much harder than you thought it would be.

“Okay.. thanks anyway Zandy.”

You gave him a little pat on the head and decided to let him rest, for this plan to work it needed perfect timing.

Soon Zandy's little head fell into your chest once more as slumber overcame him.

You thought long and hard about how you'd plan this out. 

First you needed to somehow sneak into Dottores office without being spotted, then you had to sneak down to the basement and then back up in time for nobody to notice the keys are gone. That's all hoping that Dottores office won't also be locked.

You decided the perfect time to carry out this plan would be whilst Zandy's sleeping. You carefully nudged Zandy's sleeping body further and further off of you until eventually he lay on the bed, not on you.

You wrapped him up warm and slowly wobbled your way out of the room. Your legs didn't feel strong enough to walk yet but doing this was more important than resting.
