Porcelain dollhouse Part/chapter 3

a choice

The woman walks away from Jazmine,as she walks away Jaz raises her head from underneath her arms.
William and Lloyd stood there frozen,their thoughts rising as the woman towers over then.Her bright purple eyes glowing ever so slightly.
The woman leaned forward and in a thick Russian accent she asked the brothers where she was.
Not a word came from the brothers mouths,still shook from the situation they were speechless.
The woman repeated herself,this time with a louder tone.

"WHERE,am I!" She asked once again as the blood leaked from her bandages.

"Y-youre in,i-in."William stuttered.
As the brothers stuttered the woman began to get annoyed.

"Uh c-cri-.."
"CRISTATOWN"

"Cri-stat-..town?"the woman asked.

"Yes" he said in a fearful voice

"...what kind of shitty name is CrIsTaToWn" the woman responded.

Jaz lifted her head and mumbled "O-our grandfather named it"

The woman paused for a moment,staring at the siblings who were filled with fear.
She stood up and slumped back on the coach,and sighed.
"You are useless,pass me my bag" she said with a tired voice.
Lloyd grabbed the bag and tried his best to stop shaking so he could hand it to her.
The woman grabbed the bag and pulled out a small container filled with gold powder,she took the powder and mixed it with her blood.sealing the cracks and stab wounds with a thick gold pattern.
She removed the bandages and stoffed them in her bag before looking back at the siblings.

"Don't just stand there,sit." She said in a calm voice.

The siblings looked surprised,why isn't she pissed?isn't she an overlord?spirits are overlords and royalty?
The woman once again said with a slightly annoyed tone
"...are you deaf?Stop looking at me like dear in headlights and sit."

The siblings quickly snapped out of it and sat down In some nearby chairs William didn't get a chair so he quickly plopped on the floor.

After a few seconds of awkward silence Jazmine asked with a shacku voice.

"W-would you like s-something to drink?".

"Oh,some manors.You have alcohol?I could use some right now,being stabbed and all" the responded

"Oh uh...no"
" *Sigh* then water"
Jaz got up and quickly walked into the kitchen leaving the brothers with Victoria.
The woman looked back at the brothers.

"And you are?"

"I-im William, and this is Lloyd"
Lloyd budded in.

"And s-she Jazmine, and you?"

"I'm Victoria volkov"

"Volkov,that sounds...familiar?"

Jazmine comes back with a glass of water and hands it to Victoria.

"Thank you Jazmine"

"...h-how do you"

The Victoria buds in

"They told me."

"Oh...so how did you get here?"Jaz asked
Victoria sighs and leans forward.

"I'm an assassin,I was trying to kill one of the lower overlords when I slipped up and he stabbed me,he missed and I ended up winning but this was the only calm place I could go"
The siblings looked surprised

"a spirit who kills....other spirits???" They thought

"And the only place without an overlord, surprisingly.So what you gonna do about it. AHAH"
Jazmine basically leaped out of her seat with an excited tone screamed

"YOU KILL OTHER SPIRITS"

Victoria goes silent,and in a suspicious tone replies
"yes...why?"

"WE CAN GET RID OF THOSE CONTROLLLING BASTARDS, THEY'VE BEEN RUINING OUR LIVES FOR YEARS."

"PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE US WITH YOU"

Victoria finishes drinking the water and stares at them in disapproval and disdain.

"I was planning on just killing them,but I'll hear them out" she thought to herself
"And why should I do that?give me one reason"

"Well,Lloyd was a medical student. He can help mend your wounds,and Jaz is an engineer she could help you improve your weapon.

Victoria pauses and looks at them with shock and concern.
"You understand I can kill you...right?"

Lloyd quickly replied "Then why haven't you killed us yet? I mean Jazmine just tried to knock you out."

"Yeah, I mean we've been sitting here for like maybe 10 er 20 minutes. I'd assume if you planned to hurt us you'd just do it the first chance you get. Not just sit down and ask for a drink." William followed.

victoria sat in silence before responding with a slightly annoyed tone.

"That is not important right now. Just-...just let me think about it and I'll give you my answer by morning"

"Of course,we understand" Jazmine responded.
