Stuffed toys!

Dawn and Drusilla kept taking turns with Zoe as they played chess, not knowing when hours had passed, "OMG!", Dawn said realizing that they had spent too much time playing with Zoe, "what is it Dawn?" Drusilla asked, "its nearly nightfall, the banquet will start soon", 'banquet?' Zoe thought to herself entre

They hurriedly packed all their chess board pieces and put them back into the chess game box, Drusilla quickly stood up followed by Dawn, "well it was nice playing with you lady but we have to leave now and it's passed our eating time so olé!", Zoe didn't say anything to stop them from leaving, because she too was worn out from playing a long game of chess, although they gave quite some nice company and had avoided boredom from taking over her. Drusilla and Dawn gave a salute before saying "you deserve this as our new friend but now… we must depart" they said facing each other "it's so heart breaking for us sister but we must be strong" Dawn said trying to hold the grin that threatened to form on her face.

It all looked like the two little girls were trying to act a scene without breaking out into laughter, before chuckling lowly, but it stopped when they heard the door click. Slowly turning their heads to face each other, they whispered, "Eliot!" one side of the door was slowly pushed open before Williams entered into the room with a fancy box in his hands, but oddly he shifted far from the door. A sigh of relief could be heard from the two girls.

Zoe had turned her full attention to the butler who had his head bowed, standing still with no movements, but his hands were shaking nervously 'why is he acting nervous?' before Zoe could turn her attention back to the twins the door was roughly pushed open and Eliot came barging in with two stuffed pony toys in his hands, one with the color blue and the other with the color pink. He walked straight to Drusilla and Dawn before standing in front of them "what do we owe this pleasant visit, brother?" "You're asking me? The both of you are in my own room", "oh we didn't know that…, we'll be taking our leave now" Drusilla and Dawn said attempting to turn around and run away, but stopped when Eliot spoke "so what are you two doing with hair remover shampoo?" "What is this Brother, your accusing us without any evidence" Drusilla said with a puckered lip "don't lie to me! The butler said that Dawn came to the royal laundry asking for hair remover shampoo".

"…Yeah so what! You caught us okay"

"Who gave you two a hair remover shampoo and what do you need it for?"

"We're not saying a thing till you get us a new slave *hmp* isn't that right Dawn" "yes!"

"Alright since the both of you won't say anything, we'll just have to do this the hard way", after saying those words Eliot equally squeezed the two stuffed pony's neck in his hands "If you don't tell me where you got the shampoo, I'll kill Mr. clikums and Mrs. zum zum" 'what!? Mr. who and Mrs. what now!?' thought Zoe to herself

"*gasp* you wouldn't dare," "try me..." Eliot said, as the corner of his lips pulling up to form a wicked grin "Eliot you monster! We're going to tell on you", "oh my, such a threat, and who's going to listen to you, they'll just take it as a joke" Eliot said mockingly.

Minutes dragged on as Drusilla and Dawn glared angrily at Eliot, wishing within themselves that an elephant would run him over.

"… (Sigh) it was a lady... she owns a hospital, we wanted to make you bald. Is that enough for you?! We won't say anymore! You've gotten the answer you need so let go of our children" "what, you mean clikums and zum zum?", "don't you even think about-" before Drusilla could complete her sentence Eliot had already ripped the head of the two stuffed toys from their bodies "NOooooo!" Drusilla and Dawn scream to see their ponies destroyed. Drusilla faced Dawn before saying "do not shed tears on the battle field sister, for we have found a legal reason to hurt the mortal enemy in this game of bloodshed, instead rejoice!" the two twins turned around with the game board, before saying "REVENGE!", as they hopped out of the room, giggling with a malicious grin that had formed on their faces.

Zoe didn't have the mind to speak or comment on what had happened, the scene looked laughable but creepy, as the family drama kept portraying before her very eye's, she felt uncomfortable, but didn't show it, she made sure that she maintained her composure, while her master was still in the room.

"Williams" "yes my lord", Williams said as he walked closer, towards his master, "Follow them and make sure you keep an eye on them, don't let them out of your sight and make sure they don't end up doing anything stupid", "yes master Eliot!" with those words Williams dropped the box on the dressing table, before walking out of the room, as Eliot turned to face Zoe, "What is running in that little mind of yours?", Eliot asked narrowing his eyes at her. "I wasn't-" Zoe pressed her lips in a thin line, seeing Eliot walk to where she was. He put his hands in his pant pockets.

"Did you think I forgot?" he said, looking at her deviously, "M-master Eliot trust me I had nothing to do with it, I wouldn't dare make you bald", 'i will gladly make you bald', Zoe thought to herself looking at him unremorsefully "oh, really? You would gladly make me bald. Don't you agree?" '*GASP*' and with that, he leaned forward

"Look at me when I am talking to you Zoe" he said with the smirk that had formed on his face, challenging her, and this time she couldn't move her gaze away from him. It was as if he had locked her down with his eyes, with her heart beat that had grown faster.

"Why haven't you taken your bath yet, I can clearly smell dirt hovering over you", 'What? Well that was rude' "master i-" "do you want me to give you a bath?" he said, his two hands slipping into his pockets, standing straight as he raised one hand to check the time on his gold wrist watch "No! - I mean, I can do it myself" "then hurry up, we have some where to be at, it's getting late", 'we!? Could he be talking about the banquet that Dawn had mentioned earlier'

Zoe didn't ask or say anything. Listening to her mater's words, she walked towards the bath room door, as she slowly opened it, entering inside as she closed the door behind her.

It was more than an hour since Zoe had left for the bathroom, as Eliot himself got dressed in a stylish dark-blue suit not bothering about the jacket, as he left it laying on the bed.

Eliot kept waiting and waiting not knowing when Zoe was actually going to step out of the bathroom as he slowly got impatient, walking towards the door, with his mind that kept on deciding whether or not to open the door, but finally, his mind decided as he knocked quietly on the door, not wanting to disturbed the girl inside, knocking again as he took two steps back and the door slowly opened.

Zoe stepped out of the tub with a towel wrapped around her, she wasn't sure if she was to come out of the bathroom or stay put, because her mind was nowhere near the thought of stepping out of the door with her master seeing her with nothing but a towel, she had no other clothes to put on except for the towel that covered her, and the shirt she wore previously had already been condemned. She stood for some seconds before gathering up her courage to open the door but before she could, she heard a knock on the door and then again giving her more courage to push the door open.

Timidly walking towards the door, Zoe slowly pushed it open to see her master standing right in front of the door, as their eyes met, with the silence that stirred within them before Zoe spoke, "M-master i-"

"No need to explain, just get dressed were already late", '(sigh) what a relief he isn't angry, wait… what am I supposed to wear, a towel…?'

"Umm… master Eliot, I have N-no dress to put on", Zoe said timidly, Eliot walked towards the dressing table, taking the white fancy box in is hands, as he walked back to Zoe, but much closer than before, "you can put this on", Zoe stared at the box in a confusion, not knowing what to do with the box 'is he planning to make me wear a box?, or is there a dress in it, I just hope so' "T.t-thank you" Zoe said stretching her hands to take the box, as she walked towards the bathroom door, opening it before entering, as she closed the door behind her.

. . .

The dress she wore was white in color, designed in tiny ruby stones, leaving her back bare, as a unique gold embroidery enhanced the bottom of the dress, showing off the fine curves of her waist and breast, all the way to her hips, to flow freely on the ground. The last time she had seen a dress as pretty as the one she wore, was with her mother when they had both passed a shop filled with undeniably cute dresses which made her wonder if she was ever going to see any like them ever again, but she had never seen it on any one before not to talk of an elite.
