"Maybe she won't come," the man said, stroking his wife's hand as the two sat inside their lavish common room, "We're hundreds of miles from where we once lived, she hasn't seen us in years. Maybe everything will be fine. Maybe we can just live and-"
"No, she knows where we are. She'll be here. She's just making us wait. She wants us to stew in our own fear until she comes here to take our daughter...gods, why did I ever make that deal with her? I should have known she just wanted revenge, she just wanted it to be drawn out for 18 years so I would suffer all the more."
The woman sobbed. She was peculiar in her mannerisms. She spoke of revenge stretched over years, yet her body looked as though it had just blossomed into womanhood. She was a symbol of youthful virility but petite, quite thin considering the feast that was being put away by their servants. Her hands were also soiled, as though she had just walked in from pulling weeds, despite her regal dress and fur slippers showed no signs of an outdoor trek.
Her husband meanwhile looked a more proper age to speaking of daughters and times-past. He looked to be in his later-30s, with the wrinkles and crows feet to show his past days of worry and experience. Yet, the look he gave his wife was one of a proper long marriage, not the look an old merchant staring at his young plaything. The tone he carried was one of genuine concern and love for his wife and their daughter, who they had instructed to stay locked in her room.
"My dear, please. I have never asked you to reveal what wrong you did your sister but surely it is nothing that would make her harm our daughter. I remember her holding and singing to her when she was a babe with her eyes filled with adoration. Some of that love must still be in her heart." He said hopefully.
"She is a witch, Robert!" His wife screamed, causing a servant to drop a silver platter in the dining room, "She only cares about herself!"
"Ohhhh, I wouldn't say that..." A warm, teasing voice said, "After all, I gave my beautiful sister and her husband a daughter and enough money to become the richest merchant in the country. Sounds like something a very selfless person would do."
The two parents twisted their heads around, desperately trying to find the source of the sultry voice. Their search was fruitless: only when they turned their faces towards each other did they smell vanilla and feel a pair of hands tap their shoulders, making their bodies freeze on the seats they had taken. The wife attempted to move her eyes and noticed the servant from before was frozen in place, staring in horror at the platter which was sticking up from the floor on its edge as though it were a strange piece of art.
The source of the hands made herself known in a surprisingly anticlimatic manner. The woman strolled out in front of the worried parents in a black dress that seemed as though it was desperate to cling onto the curves its owner wielded, showing off her generous assets and toned limbs. Her long blonde hair fell past her shoulders and descended all the way to her buttocks. Her green eyes sparkled as she turned to face her sister and her smile was like a cat who had just caught a fat mouse.
"Well, don't get up on my account, dears." She chuckled at her literally captive audience, "I did have some trouble finding your house...for about a day. I loved the bit where you paid those priestesses to sell me a story that my niece had joined a convent...had a lot of fun getting the naked truth out of them." Her smile grew wider and her sister could swear she saw drool dripping out of the side of her mouth, "But here I am, ready to collect on your debt. You've had 18 years as a family and now I get to take my niece as a servant..after a birthday celebration of course."
She walked over to the two parents, "Remember this: play along and everyone might have fun...don't and the only one suffering will be your daughter, and we'd all rather not have that."
She then turned and sat on her brother-in-laws lap with lewd coo, snapping her fingers. In the middle of the common room, a four-poster bed suddenly appeared, its curtains drawn.
"Come on out birthday girl! Your aunt is here to see you!" She called out, she snapped her fingers again, allowing the parents to finally move, "Remember what I said Lilac." She whispered, "be all smiles."
The woman resigned herself and smiled, "Yes dear, come on out, your aunt Luna has come to visit you and give you a birthday gift."
"No, she knows where we are. She'll be here. She's just making us wait. She wants us to stew in our own fear until she comes here to take our daughter...gods, why did I ever make that deal with her? I should have known she just wanted revenge, she just wanted it to be drawn out for 18 years so I would suffer all the more."
