Smiling I add another board to my fence using cement to make sure it stays, I had to take a few days to weather treat before I could place them, it took multiple coats and I'm doubtful it lasts long with this moisture hanging around.

Glancing behind me I smile seeing Donna working on a doll I promised not to peek at, she hasn't let me out of her sight since this morning.

"How does this work?" Angie asks holding up my Bluetooth speaker.

"Um it's," I frown trying to think of how to explain it "similar to you and Donna, how she can speak through you well they can feel each other and the speaker is like you while the phone is like Donna" I finally say.

"Gimme the phone" she demands floating up trying to grab it from my bra.

"Get your grubby hands out of tits you brat" I scold laughing slightly.

Getting her back I reach in pulling it out before letting her take it, continuing my work I glance back seeing Donna covered the doll and both her and Angie are playing with my phone "hey, how come this stupid thing won't work for me?" Angie demands.

"Zombie fingers, basically means you have no skin for it to recognize your touch"

"Donna use a different finger" I call hearing tapping before she huffs.

"Oh" she mutters sounding happy after using her middle finger.

"That one" Angie says laughing.

Hearing the music change I smile while placing more cement down to keep the board in place.

Hanging up with Alcina I frown tapping my fingers on my chair, this outsider has came in and somehow managed to manipulate my youngest into taking her on as staff, I doubt she forced her way in since Donna responds to threats by removing them, the question is how when Donna fights having guests or even visiting us.

Sighing I look at the painting Alcina made me of Donna, what has this outsider done to get in with her? we had to force her out for visits in the beginning till we seen it was making things worse, trying to get in means out running her and the dolls to get in the door before she blocks you, even then it's hard.

I didn't think anything about how easily I got in when I visited her, I figured she was distracted with a doll and only notice right before I got in.

Eva claims she had no problem but with Cassandra there Donna wouldn't block her, and now Cassandra swears she just walked in, almost like Donna was distracted, she didn't even come out like she expected someone to come in.

None of us have managed it three times in a row to successfully get in, frowning more I sigh rubbing my forehead "how is it an outsider can gain Donna's trust so easily but we struggle to get any conversation with her?" I ask myself.

Taking a breath I finally decided to watch them and see what exactly that outsider has done to get in, but if she even moves wrong at Donna I'll personally remove her.

Sitting by Donna on the front porch I smile as we eat a light snack of meat, cheese, and fruit "why'd you bring this?" Donna ask pointing at a bowl of peanut butter.

I smirk grabbing a banana slice and swiping it through the peanut butter before eating it, grabbing another I do it again before holding it out to her "wanna try?" I ask smiling at her.

She tilts her head watching either me or it before eventually taking it, hearing her hum I quickly give her an apple and orange with peanut butter after eating it myself.

Seeing her head shake at the orange I smile at her "that one's not for everyone" I easily say.

"How's the doll coming along?" I ask seeing her take a cheese cube.

She nods making a humming sound while shrugging "I'm sure it's beautiful" I say in response.
