Ethan had made it into Castle Dimitrescu and wasn't playing around. He'd managed to find the daughters weaknesses by accident upon shooting Bela. Thankfully her cries had alerted her mother to deal with Ethan swiftly, and by that she'd taken his gun hand.
"You come into my castle and proceed to hurt my daughters!" she'd snarled as one of her claws sliced right through his wrist.
"Crazy bitch!" he screamed as he grabbed his severed hand to reattach it as easy as anything.
"You won't live long, even if you run!" she'd threatened as she held back to take care of her daughter.
Bela's body had started to stiffen up with the cold, which had Alcina carry her out and back to her bedroom.
"Stay with her," she growled at you, even though she was more angry with Ethan.
"But?" you'd protested.
"I said stay, do not follow me!" she snarled as she ducked out of the room.
You looked back at Bela, seeing her slightly pained expression.
"G-Go after m-mother. D-Don't let Ethan h-hurt her."
You knew you were but a simple maid, chosen by the Lady herself. What could you possibly do to help?
"But what can I do?" you ask, once you're at her bedside.
Her eyes close as she succumbs to sleep. The sound of buzzing is now heard behind you as two forms take shape.
"Bela!"
"Sister, dearest!"
You let the two take care of their older sister as you slink out of the room.
"How do I stop a man with a gun?" you think to yourself as you head down the stairs to now feel a heavy draft of cold wind blowing in. "What the..."
Quickly rushing down the stairs, you take the next lot to find both double doors open and the cold biting wind blowing in. Snow is falling, setting on the stone steps leading up to the chapel.
"You'll pay!" you now heard Alcina roar.
Making haste while trying not to slip on the snowy steps, you make it up to the chapel. The air is thick with the sounds of the flying failures, but they don't concern you right now, what does is watching Alcina stab Ethan right through the chest with her claws, only to have him retaliate by stabbing her in the side with a dagger.
Your mistresses scream is the most painful thing you'd even heard. In her rage, she grabs him by the throat to throw him right through the window. She then leans over, crying out in pain again as what you now see are wings tearing their way right out of her back.
"Oh god...no." You gasp as you fall against a pillar.
Alcina continues to cry out as a tail grows right out from her back, her body continues to mutate until the bottom half of her becomes some kind of mutated dragon while her top half sticks out of the beasts back like she's some kind of parasite to it.
"Alcina!" you now call out softly as she groans with the new form she's become.
She turns to look back at you, the dragon part of her giving a sad sounding roar, but her expression is stony.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" she screams at you before tearing away half of the building just to grab hold of Ethan to fly off with him. "Blood, flesh, bone. I shall devour you whole!"
Upon getting dropped on a walkway, Ethan looks up at her.
"You finally look like you do on the inside!" he taunted her.
Alcina just gave a demonic laugh as if the insult did nothing to her.
"You're the second person to see this form, the first being Mother Miranda." She told him as she now thought of you seeing her like this too.
Quickly heading off, you climbed across rooftops to to find a way to get to her. It was a dangerous ordeal, seen as the tiles on the roof were slippy and all, but you made somewhat progression as Ethan and Alcina fought.
"There's no way I can let him kill her," you thought as you took another steep roof.
Alcina screamed as bullets hit her body.
"You'll never see your precious Rose again!" she laughed as Ethan reloaded to shoot the dragon in its many mouths. "Ow! Curse you, Winters!"
You were still so close, yet so far away from the battle. Taking one glance up, you take one wrong step and end up slipping down the tiles.
"Nooooo!" you scream, seeing the end nearing.
Alcina snaps her head to you, her dragon doing the same.
"Ahhhhhh!" you cry out as you try to grab the edge but it's far too slippery.
You see yourself falling to your death, knowing the end would come eventually from the great height you were at, only it didn't as a large clawed foot grabbed your ankle. Large leathery wings were now heard striking the air to lift you back up to then place you on solid ground.
"I warned you!" she snarled before taking off again.
"Alcina, wait!" you try to call her back as Ethan unloads his shotgun into her.
She crashes right through the stone pillars, almost collapsing on top of Ethan, who quickly dodges.
"You can't kill me!" she chuckles weakly just as the ground beneath her starts to crumble. "I will see you go with me!"
"You first!" Ethan snarls as he shoots her again just to have the floor give out from under him.
Alcina slips down with him, but her dragon manages to hold on. The only sound that's now heard is Ethan as he falls to land upon the ground below.
"No, I won't die like this!" Alcina snarled as she felt her claws slipping.
"Alcina!" you cry out as you drop to your knees beside the gaping hole.
"I told you to go, you blasted human!" she snarls at you.
Tears cloud your vision as you hear the scraping of claws upon stone.
"I love you," you tell her.
She snarls in return as her dragon desperately tries to get back on ground level with you.
"I don't want to lose you," you tell her as you reach out to touch the dragons foot.
At this she feels the strength to climb back up, her dragon body falls limply to the ground, all the mouths opening and closing taking in breaths they desperatly needed.
"Don't!" she turns from you.
"Don't what?" you ask.
"Don't look at me that way!" she snarls. "I know what you're thinking!"
"Then if you know I'm thinking I find this form of yours cute, then I'm glad."
Her head snaps back to look at you. "What!?"
"I don't mind what you've become, it's unique and special looking. I mean it's a dragon with tons of mouths, yeah. But it's still you."
"I-I don't know what to say," she sighs.
"Just say to me you can change back," you smile. "I mean you won't get around the castle like this."
She gives a smile, then nods at you. She then grunts and groans as the dragon roars to slowly but surely ease back into her normal form, albeit naked and extremely exhausted.
"I like this look too," you tease to ease her a little as she heaves herself up off the ground to lean against one of the pillars.
"Look at it all you can, because it'll be back in a dress soon enough." She responds weakly.
You give a chuckle as you lean up against her for a good while or so until she regains some strength to stand to head back inside.
