Love and grief. Mother Miranda x Reader

The project

Chapter 9

At the comfort of your own house, you leaned your head against the window, contemplating everything around. Trying to paint pictures of everything in your mind. How much your life has changed this last month is crazy, but you kinda like it...

There was another thing wandering in your head. Your mission was to bring Ethan and his family safe, that included Rose. Miranda has Rose and well... you can't just betray her, but maybe there's something to do. Before beggining with your new project, you opened your laptop and placed the new information there.

DNA sequencing complete.99.95% match to Dulvey Mutamycete.The deviation of 0.05% can presumable be attributed to artificial changes by humans.Which means this is probable the source.

Further investigation into how the Connections managed to find and extract the mold is needed.

The fungal colony is spread out under the entire village.

When you take the Baker incident into account, the hosts of the mutamycete are part of a network of consciousnesses.

My megamycete is like a data storage, but if that's the case then what "data" is Miranda after?

I tried my best not to expose Miranda so I pretended that I didn't know any of her plans.

The phone rang throughout the house, I got up from my seat and went downstairs to pick up the phone.

"Y/n, it's me Chris. I have bad news"

"Hey Chris, spill it out"

"Y/n the BSAA is placing a tent in the Village. Our boss said it was needed, so he made sure we have all our weapons and heavy artillery. They are doing a research all over the village and I'm afraid that if they found out Miranda's plan they would not hesitate. Be careful Y/n, and, of course you cannot show any sympathy with Miranda". Chris let out a heavy sigh.

"Damn it, what am I going to do? Leave her again? I mean I know it's for her own good but, I can't just tell her to run away from here. I have a plan Chris."

"What? What do you have in mind Y/n?, go ahead I'm listening"

"I'm not sure if it is going to work but I have to try, I can't lose her again. Here's the thing, Miranda is not the best with technology, you know, she was never interested. So she thinks that the only way to bring Eva back is using a vessel, in this case, Rosemary Winters. But with a sample of her DNA, the consciousness of her daughter Eva and a woman to carry the child I can do it, without using Rose, or any vessel."

"Y/n... h-how? You're brilliant but how are you going to do that? Do you need my help?"

"Yeah, i know it sounds crazy but I want to do it. First, I have to tell Miranda about my plan, I hope she agrees... Then I will return Rose safe to her father's arms. I'll extract Eva's consciousness from the megamycete, a sample of Miranda's DNA and then, I need a woman to carry Eva during the 9 months".

"Y/n, you have my back. I have to get back to work now, but if you need something with your project you can give me a call ok?."

"Thank you Chris" you said and hanged up.

"I haven't talked to Alcina like for ages." You thought, so you grabbed your backpack full of weapons, closed the main door of your house after you and headed to Castle Dimitrescu.

Castle Dimitrescu

As you put one foot inside the castle the air was cold, everything was surprisingly quiet. The castle showed the distress of the moment, it was like the walls talked for Alcina. I knew something was wrong... I could feel it. Electricity going up and down trough my spine. I started to look for Alcina, searching in every single room... not a single soul. I was getting worried.

I stepped into the living room. The spacious layout inside consisted of a big wooden staircase on one side of the room, and a fireplace on the other. Two armchairs close to the fireplace, and a coffee table in the middle. By the corner of my eye I saw Cassandra.

Her lips adopted a hardened edge . "Just so you know, if it weren't for Mother I wouldn't think twice about dragging you into my chambers and empty you. Mother might like you for now, but I wouldn't breathe easy." she said, cold-blooded warning creeping into her tone.

"Cassandra i just want to see your Mother, that's all". You explained her.

"Casaaaandra! Go back to your chambers! Don't you dare to came here again! Am I clear?" Lady Dimitrescu said, emerging from the big staircase.

"Yes, mother" Cassandra said vanishing into flies, but she gave you a deadly look before.

You glanced at Lady Dimitrescu and saw... tears? She was crying?. You tried not to look at her that much, but you wanted to know what was it. Before you could open your mouth you were both sitting on the armchairs next to the fireplace. You turned to her. "Alci, is everything ok?" You said gently, even though you were friends with Lady Dimistrescu she still terrified you, she was capable of devour you at any moment.

"No! That stupid man-thing!" She groaned loudly and clenched her fists.

"Who? What happened?"

"Ethan Winters is in my castle! He killed my precious daughter Bela. I will find him and I will break him!"

Alcina told me the reason why Ethan killed Bela, just to get Rose's flask. At that moment I knew I had to hurry up with my project, I didn't wanted Ethan to kill everyone here. And I knew that out of Alcina's three daughters only Daniela liked me but i didn't care I was not letting him kill my friend's daughters. 'What an irony Ethan, you're playing the hero trying to save your daughter but you're killing others in order to get her back?'I thought to myself.

I handed Ethan the flask so he could leave, I promised him the three remaining flasks. In exchange he promised me that he would step aside. Then I went to Miranda's laboratory, I supposed she was there and not home.

Miranda's Laboratory

The moment you entered Miranda was sitting at her desk looking over the results of her most recent experiment, you grabbed a chair and sat by her side placing your head in her shoulder. It has been a busy day, first Chris bad news, then the project and finally the death of Bela Dimitrescu . You were used to it, this was your work after all. -But the last three days I've been struggling with insomnia .
I let out a long yawn, hoping she wouldn't notice, because i wanted to be by her side while she was working. -

"You're tired." Miranda said softly , glancing down at you. You immediately felt flustered, moving your eyes down to your hands.

"No, I'm good" You said softly. Miranda smiled gently putting her claws under your chin, lifting it, forcing you to look at her beautiful eyes.

"Yes you are. Y/n don't lie to me." She said in a rather sarcastic tone.

"I'm tired too. I could use some sleep myself. But it will be a shame if I went to bed alone. Don't you think?" Miranda teased you, your face was bright red , knowing exactly what she was trying to do.

"Go to my house. You know how to get there right? Or do I need to repeat myself? I'll be joining you in an hour." Miranda commanded in a playful tone, before giving you her back and draw her attention back at the experiments on her desk. You obeyed her and went to her house.
