the horror and the wild || chapter eight: sirenele

Fandom: Resident Evil Village Wordcount: 4,638 Characters/Relationship(s): Karl Heisenberg/Original Female Character, original characters, Ethan Winters, Mia Winters, Mother Miranda ADDITIONAL TAGS: Evil people in love, no redemption arcs here, Aranka is of the “you can fix him; I’ll join him in his insanity” sort, POV multiple, Dad bod Heisenberg, Light Dom/sub, Degradation, Restraints, Vaginal fingering, PIV sex, Body horror, gore, Phobia of pregnancy/tokophobia, cunnilingus, Unreliable narrator CONTENT WARNING: Body horror, gore, speaking of female genitalia in degrading terms (not by Karl and not towards Aranka; these are internalized fears/thoughts she has about herself.) Summary: “I was eight years old when my father left me in the snow to die.”

In a cold cell, a ghost weaves a tale for the woman interrogating her: A tale of blood, prophets, four daughters for Four Lords, eldritch beings, and how they all fell.

“Fine,” Ethan said, biting out the word. “Do whatever it is you think you have to do. But if I have to, I’ll kill Heisenberg. It’s his choice whether that happens.”  “Fine,” Aranka said, swallowing past the dread in her throat.  If she had to protect Karl against Ethan… would she be able to? Or would he cut her down just as easily as he had Alcina and Donna?
