Nightmares and Trauma

Liz was sitting in front of her monitor with melody on her lap and Bell standing next to her.
The three were staring at the 'Liz' her chat sees. Eyes that shimmered blue, red, and purple stared back the at them. "So Mistress, you take on the role of this woman and entertain people over the Internet, so that they want to give income?"
"Although I like talking to them and not just because they give me money." Liz mumbled while she pet Melody. The cat kneaded Liz with her paws.
"Ow!" Liz looked down and saw shewas bleeding from where Melody was kneading.
Melody licked the spot Liz was bleeding. 'At least she apologizes.'
Bell gently pushed Melody away and cleaned the small scratch. "Did you want to show me something else, Mistress?"
"Right! Nami Ji might have responded by now." Liz switched the tab to her email and saw that she was rightI1.
"You got an email already?" Bell questioned as they leaned closer.
"Yeah, apparently." Liz responded by clicking the email.

Thank you Miss Elizabeth Pine for accepting this request, we greatly appreciate it.
Now for your questions!

2.Steaming is planned to be added within a month and half.
3.There are none but it is highly recommended to do no more then 7 hours at a time.
4.Currently no. When there is you will be notified and asked to not speak about it.
As a forward notice, the VW will arrive at your residence in 2 days so please look out for it so it doesn't get stolen.
:::::
As Liz read the email she focused on the 1st statement which made her rub her eyes. "Its so cheap! It should at least cost 1000 dollars!?"
"The CEO wanted to make things as accessible as possible for everyone with the VW." Bell chimed in while looking over Liz's shoulder.
Liz glanced over to Bell. "Do you know something more about this?"
Bell opened her mouth then suddenly stopped moving like someone hit pause on her. "..."
"Bell? Is something wrong?" Liz tapped Bell and got no response.
'Wow, she's solid.' The thought crossed Liz's mind as she tried to shake Bell but ended up moving herself instead.
"Yip!" Bell suddenly jerked upright, startling Liz.
Bell looked around for few seconds before turning to Liz. "What did you ask Mistress?"
Liz was left shocked at what just happened. "I, um, asked if... Nevermind it's probably not worth it."
Bell glanced to the computer and nodded. "What's next Mistress?"
Liz stretched her arms and looked at Bell. "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
"Yes, Mistress." Bell turned the chair around and pushed it to the bed directly next to them.
Liz removed the pads on her legs and placed them in a slot on her chair. "Can you help me Bell?"
Bell looked Liz up and down. "How much do you want to take off, Mistress? Do want something different?"
Liz twitched at the question. "Um? What?"
Bell blinked as they reiterated. "Mistress, were you not talking about changing?"
Liz shivered and shook her head. "I ment getting into the bed Bell!"
A slight shade of red grew on Bell's cheeks. "Understood."
Bell gingerly picked and placed her down on the bed. "I'll see you tomorrow Mistress."
Liz shifted to one side of the bed and gestured to the empty side of the bed.
Bell stared at the bed. "Do I have to Mistress?"
Liz looked at Bell with . "We don't have any other place for you to sleep."
"I'll just sleep on the sofa Mistress." Bell replied looking away from Liz.
"I guess you can for a few days until we get a bed but the the sofa is sort of ruined since someone slept on it for too long." Liz was having flashbacks of how she ruined it because she couldn't get up.
"I'll be fine Mistress. I need only a small amount of sleep compared to others." Bell backed up to and through the door.
"Alright, I'll stop then. Sweet dreams Bell." Liz with a small smile.
"Good night Mistress." Bell took a slight bow as the door slid shut.

I ran until he was out of my sight and took a shuddering breath as I leaned against a pillar and tapped on my watch to call my big sister. "Are you busy right now Sis?"
/No, I just got off work, aren't you on a date with that Zeekeal person? He didn't do anything to you did he?!\ Jill said on the phone peeved after all she warned me about people like him.
"No, he didn't touch ME, he beat someone until they were unconscious because they handed me something I dropped." I sounded angry but it was horrifying to watch someone be reduced to a twitching mess from someone nice enough to hand me my wallet.
My sister took a sharp breath before talking. /God, I didn't think he was that bad, did you call the police?\
"No, I think he would do the same to me if called the police in front of him, so I broke up with him and pretty much ran awa-" I was cut off by a scream that came from behind me as everything went red.
.
..

"Ahhhhh!" Liz shot up panting, frantically looking around seeing she was still in her room, and trembled.
Bell was currently dusting some figurine case but was interrupted by Liz screaming. "What's wrong Mistress!? Did you have a nightmare?"
Liz didn't look over to Bell, but started to bury herself under her pillows and plushies on the bed. Bell stared at Liz visibly shaking from underneath her makeshift hiding place for a few seconds. "Do you need... Comfort?"
Everything went silent as the air turned stiff. "..."
quiet sobbing broke the silence. Bell slowly got closer and sat next to Liz, hugging her softly. 'Why is behaving so differently?'
Liz pushed herself into Bell's hug but continued sobbing, even getting louder as tears stained Bell's outfit.
Bell glanced over as Melody jumped up on the bed and rub against Liz. '...This seems like routine to her.'
The scene was frozen in time until Jill opened the door and walked in with a smile. "Sis I'm leavin... oh no." Her joy drained out of her leaving defeat.
Bell was the that replied in a soft, almost whisper. "Mistress had a nightmare and won't stop sobbing."
"She had another episode." Jill said with a pained voice.
"Could you elaborate Miss Jill?" Bell questioned still holding Liz as she sobbed.
"Later, just hold her until she's better and say she's safe here occasionally. I would call off work to hold her but she's already attached to you." Jill walked over to Liz and stroked her head.
"What? Attached?" Bell tilted their head as Liz wrapped her arms around Bell.
I'll tell you when I get back. Just hold her until she let's go." Jill's eyes starting to glisten as Liz didn't respond to her touch.
Bell eyes lingered on Jill as she went to leave. "This unit will be by Mistress for as long as I live."
Jill took a deep breath and spoke before closing the door. "I hope you really mean that."
'Did I say it wrong?' Bell flinched as Liz went from sobbing to jagged hampered gasping.
The silence relieved Bell slightly but it was soured by the sobbing coming back.
The cycle of continued sobbing to gasping and back, as Bell struggled to get Liz to say anything for 2 hours besides weak pleas and thank you before she slowed her gasping into a breath.
Bell stroked Liz's head in the same way as Jill. "Do you need something, Mistress?
Liz opened her mouth to talk but before she could speak her stomach growled loudly.
"What would you like to eat, Mistress?" Bell let go Liz and waited for a response.
"There's some soup in the fridge... Put it in a pot and turn the heat to medium until it starts to steam." Liz's voice lost confidence she held.
Bell nodded and asked in a soft tone. "Do you want come with me Mistress?"
Liz shook her head. "Just hand me my phone please, Bell."
Bell glanced around the room before grabbing a shiny purple phone off of her desk and handed it to Liz. "I'll check in on you often Mistress."
Liz tapped the phone and the image of Liz and Jill with their parents behind them popped up on it.
Liz in the meantime informed her followers that she'll be canceling today's stream because of some issues.
She mostly got messages that asked if she was alright and encouraging her. including one of her mods BillTheCEO was also asking if she alright and if she needed to talk.
Liz started a private chat since BillTheCEO is close friend to her and is already aware of her situation vaguely. Liz just calls him Will.

[Will:So what happened? did you have a episode again?]
[Lizzy:Yeah]
[Will:How long this time?]
[Lizzy:Um... 2 hours I think.]
[Will:Hell, that sucks. At least Jill stays with you.]
[Lizzy:It was Bell this time.]
[Will:Who's Bell?]
[Lizzy:Well, do you remember that competition that I won that said they would give out artificial maids? Well she finally arrived and I gave her the name Bell]
[Will:Well, how is Bell?]
[Lizzy:Besides her calling me Mistress and her being pretty bad at cooking. Bell's great, she's fantastic at cleaning and she's learning how to cook better from me. But more importantly comforted me the entire time I trembled.]
[Will:Wow... Bell seems better than most people.]
[Lizzy:I know right?]
[Will:I'm happy you like Bell. Sadly I'm busy with work and don't have much more time to talk with you like this. so I'll see you later.]
[Lizzy:Alright thanks for talking with me.]

Bell put the soup in two bowls and brought it to Liz's room. "Mistress, the soup is done."
They ate together and had some small talk about what they could do together on stream.
Liz's voice slowly regained confidence as the small talk continued.
It got to a point where Liz got Bell to put her in her chair and started looking through games they could play together with Jill.
It was at this point Bell heard the front door open. "Mistress, I still need wash the dishes, I'll be back soon."
"Alright Bell, I'll keep looking then." Liz continued scrolling through games and bookmarking some.
Bell left Liz's room with the bowls and went to the kitchen to see Jill putting soup in a different bowl. "Oh Bell, How is Sis?"
Bell started to wash the mess she made in the sink and answered. "Mistress is currently looking for games we can play together but Miss Jill could you explain why Mistress was acting like that?"
Jill had a sigh of relief from hearing her sister was better. "Her ex boyfriend tried to run Liz over with a bus he high jacked, but messed up and hit a bollard, but a piece the bumper broke off and hit her sending her through a window."
Bell twitched at the explanation. "Mistresses ex?"
Jill took a sip of the soup before continuing. "His name was Zeekeal and he was a goddamn psycho he beat somebody so hard that he died later in the hospital because he picked up something for Liz and just after that he ran over 6 people on his way to Liz because she broke up with him and 8 people in the bus died from the crash. Zeekeal's attempt left her unable to walk and with horrible nightmares... Dammit, why was he lucky enough to survive that."
Bell went silent after heard the story for a long time. "...So what happened to Zeekeal?"
"He went to prison for life after he was dragged out of the bus." Jill replied with disdain in her voice.
"I'll keep Mistress company for now but I'm sure Miss Jill will be following me shortly to do the same." Bell finished washing the dishes except the one Jill was holding and walked off.
'Is she really a artificial?' Jill thought to herself as kept eating the soup.
The rest of the day consisted of Jill, Liz, and Bell playing games together that Liz found.
