Your niece looked at all the dolls, eyes wide as she brought forward a little jester, hugging him tightly. "They're amazing!" She chirped, looking up at Donna. She kept the jester with her when she went back to the main room with Donna, asking questions like if they were magical and if he had a name. Henry the Jester. Your niece brought forward the doll, showing you. "Donna is gonna let me play with this one! She said I could pick several, but I liked this one the most." She explained.

You looked at the doll, shuddering. "Donna, did you tell her that they move?" You inquired quietly, seeing her smile. "She will find out. They'll be very gentle with her since she's a child. I can also keep tabs on her as well and it can protect her." Donna whispered to you, giving you a kiss on the cheek. "So, (Y/N). You've been here the entire time?" Your mother picked up your attention. If you ask about my relationship, I will scream. "I have. It's nice here, Donna and I have been taking care of each other." You chirped, giving a smile. "That town is pretty! They rebuilt everything and there is happily a few chain businesses. I heard Mia was there." Your mother added.

Mia... Is here? Your blood ran cold, eyes wide. "What do you mean Mia is here? I came here precisely so I could get away from her." You hissed. "I got the job at Dimitrescu's Castle and then I came here. So how the fuck did she follow me?" You snapped out, balling your fists. "I didn't tell a soul where I went! I told everyone that I was staying at a remote location and I would exposed the location in time. Nobody has known where I was." You explained, feeling more and more rage build up.

"Who's Mia?" Donna asked softly, gently pulling you into a hug. You clung to Donna, the hug only helping a little. "Ethan's wife and my ex-girlfriend. Made me her side piece back in America until I found out the truth when she came back from Louisiana." You explained softly, feeling Donna pepper a couple kisses on your cheek.

"Here's the thing, kiddo. We told Mia where you were and she came with us. She knew you didn't want to see her, so she stayed back in the village." Your father explained. "You what." You growled out. "It was time you forgave her. You were missing for a whole year!" He barked out. "You don't decide on who they forgive, (Father's Name). She wronged (Y/N) and it's their choice on if they want to forgive Mia, not yours." Donna kept you close, hearing you give a couple of sniffles.

"It would be wise if you left, Mr. (Last Name). Your wife, mother, and niece will be safe in my care." Donna ordered, stroking your hair. With a huff, your father left when the others told him he will be back by tonight.

Watching your father leave, Donna wiped away your tears, hugging you tightly. "Now. We don't have to worry about Mia, you are safe here and I'll make sure she never gets to you." Donna reassured. "If I find her on the property, I'm sure a visit to Lady Dimitrescu will get her off your mind." Donna suggested.

"But what if she tries to... You know." You turned yourself and Donna away from your family, talking much quieter. "I'll allow it, but just this once." She whispered softly. Turning back to the rest of your family, you gave a weak smile. This is going to be Hell.

Be on the lookout for a new Lady Dimitrescu fanfiction I'll be starting called "Claws of the Dragon", a Horror Romance inspired slightly by the IDKHOW song "Mx. Sinister"! Once a cover is made, I'll be posting the first chapter!
