Weird conspiracy

Although Zoe had regained her sight, she always knew that one day it would be taken away. Breathing hard, she felt her eyes tearing up but held it in with the lump that grew in her throat "yes?" he said gesturing her to continue speaking, "they used me to replace the one they killed, and then I was sold to Madam Elisabeta. At first I thought I had my freedom back, (sigh) but I was little and I didn't understand a thing, little did I know that it was just the beginning of my torments".

Before Zoe could complete her sentence there was a knock on door, "come in" Eliot said for the door to be slowly pushed open as Williams entered the room bowing his head, "what is it?", "I'm sorry for disturbing you at this time but someone's here to see you", "send the person away and tell whoever it is that I'm busy" "but he insists"

"… Okay I'll be there in a second" with those words the butler exited the room and Eliot let Zoe slowly stand as she turned to face him

"You are not allowed to step out of this room for any reason, if you need anything, you can call the butler, get a shower but make sure to be careful with the bandages", Eliot said standing up as he walked towards the door pushing one side open, "and remember, there are consequences if you disobey my orders", 'why the hell is he telling me all this, what if someone wanted to murder me, then what am I supposed to do. Hope to fly?' *Tch*' Zoe thought to herself as she watched Eliot exit the room…

Zoe walked towards the edge of the bed, sitting on it seeing nothing that she could do but remembering Eliot's words on taking a bath, with those thought's Zoe walked towards the bath door, remembering the last time she had taken a bath in the peaceful tub (Sigh).

Zoe was about to open the door to the bathroom when she heard a door handle click open behind her, Zoe was confused, her master had just left the room, and he certainly couldn't return that fast, unless he had decided to reject the visitor, but that couldn't be right.

Zoe stopped her movements listening to her environment for a second, as she slowly turned around to see Drusilla and dawn pocking their little heads through the door in the other direction, looking around, missing the part where Zoe stood.

Dawn and Drusilla walked timidly together, through their brother's door to see if anyone was in the room, tip-toeing inside, as they slowly walked towards the middle of the room, forgetting the door as it closed hardly making a loud sound.

*THUD*

"Shhh, Dawn! Do you want someone to hear us?" "Sorry", 'what are they doing here?' Zoe thought squinting her eyes at Drusilla and dawn, "Dawn" Drusilla whispered for dawn to turn her head to face Drusilla "yes?" "Did you get the shampoo I asked you to get?" "Yes! Got it right here, removes hair in one drop" 'did I hear wrong or is that a hair remover shampoo' "Eliot would be so sorry he didn't get us a new slave" Drusilla said with a wide grin that spread across her face, as they giggled mischievously within themselves.

Zoe stood there unspotted by the two little girls that had snuck into Eliot's room, as they turned around attempting to sneak into the bathroom when they spotted 'Zoe' their brothers pet, who had been staring at them eyes widened in shock, as they stared back at her intently, with panic that had filled their eyes.

Dawn leaned closer to whisper into Drusilla's ear's, "don't move, she can't see us unless we do" dawn said as Drusilla nodded partly to her words.

Seconds passed as they kept staring at themselves, trying to understand what they were doing, Zoe observed that their eye color wasn't red anymore rather it was green, the eye color seemed to run in their family, and they weren't going to move an inch from where they stood, sighing out loud Zoe broke the silence knowing that they weren't going to do anything but stand at a spot until she looked away,

"the both of you clearly know that I can see you, right?", Zoe said hoping to get them out of their crazy daydream, but her words didn't calm them, rather it seemed to have made them more anxious, "she sees us sister", dawn said poking her sister endlessly in worry, "I know that", Drusilla said in an attempt to get dawn to stop poking her.

"Maybe we should make a run for it", Dawn said taking two steps backwards

"We can't, she has already seen us and she'll tell Eliot for sure, and then were doomed", "Augh… okay", Dawn said accepting defeat, as she walked towards Zoe sluggishly with Drusilla following behind, "what are you doing here?" Drusilla said trying to push away the topic of sneaking into Eliot's room "the same question goes to you, what are you doing here?" Zoe said throwing their Question back at them "oh nothing, just here to borrow some shampoo that's all", dawn said, backing-up her sister "oh really, is that so. Then what is that hair remover shampoo doing in your hands", Zoe said, pointing to the shampoo Dawn hid behind her back.

"(Sigh) Ok you've caught us. Here's the deal, we make Eliot bald while making a run for it and you keep shut. Deal?" Drusilla said stretching out her hands while dawn held a wide grinning expression across her face 'What? Is that even a deal, but I might take it into consideration'

Changing the subject Drusilla looked towards the door Zoe was going to, before they entered Eliot's room "hey lady, what are you doing close to my brother's bathroom and why are you covered in so much blood", "it's noth-" before Zoe could complete her sentence dawn spoke "don't tell us.. It's definitely the witch"

"Who's the witch?", Zoe asked confused by their statement, "the witch is a nick name we gave Lady Greta. We both saw the way Greta glared at you when brother held you by the hands" "shush sister, do not speak the name of the witch out loud"

Drusilla said while whispering into Dawn's ears, as Dawn cleared her throat before talking "we knew something like this would happen to you, Greta is a mean evil lady. She's always trying to force authority on the household, whereas she's just a mere maid. She thinks that she's higher than everyone just because she's the queen's maid. You would have died if not for brother that intervened, so are you alright?" Dawn asked while looking at Zoe waiting for a response "yes I'm alright and thanks for asking", "your welcome!" Drusilla and Dawn said with a grin that spread widely across their faces

"Wait… How did you guys know about what happened", "we were watching you!", Dawn said before using her hands to slap her mouth shut, regretting the choice of her words, "what do you mean by you were watching me", "oh it's nothing…, nothing at all". "so…Can we be of any service to you?", the two little girl's said changing the subject, "how come you girls are being so nice to me?", Zoe asked, finding it weird that the two girls who had cruel objective's with a hair remover shampoo, even cared to offer their services to her, "were being nice because you didn't snap at us for trying to make Eliot bald. If it was Greta she would have definitely shouted at us, but we believe you're a nice lady, aren't you?" 'Of course I'm nice ... Why wouldn't I be?'

"We can help you by getting revenge on Greta" "yes! Yes! It's a start of our services and our friendship" dawn said with a wide creepy smile 'friendship?' "I don't think that it's necessary" Zoe said, declining their offer, "Dawn!" Drusilla shouted in a commanding tone "yes sister!" "Get the friendship board for our new friend" "yes!"

'What is a friendship board?' two minutes had passed and Dawn entered the room with a chess game in her hands. Zoe didn't recognize the board at first, but when Dawn started bringing out the pieces of the chess game she recognized it as a chess game.

She remembered how she would always play the chess game horribly with her mom till she fell asleep, although she was horrible at chess her mother never judged her, instead she complimented on how she played it like a fine little child 'mother…' when Dawn was finished with arranging the pieces on the chess board, Drusilla turned to face Zoe before saying "can you play chess?" "… Yes, a little" Zoe answered blankly. "Sister I'm thru with the arrangements" Dawn said calling her sister's attention, "nice!" "…?" "Alright new friend this is how we play the friendship board" Drusilla said while pulling Zoe by the hands towards where they had arranged the chess board, as they sat round the board.

"(clearing of throat) so this is how we play…" Drusilla explained the exact formation of a chess board and how it was to be played.
