That's Life

A New Bed

"Okay, there you go all cozy and nice..... No.. maybe not here."

10 times, now 11th the girl changed the doll's position to put her somewhere. The elf princess could feel her head spinning at this point.

Please! Just stop it, kid, or else I'll puke on you!

She was probably begging inside barely sealing her lips from letting it out. In all this, she observed this girl and her room. It was pretty simple with only the basic things and a few plants on the outward window sill. The decor was–well she couldn't even tell if it was there or not but one thing that ticked her.

There were no toys....none at all—I mean the elf princess couldn't see them so if they were hidden she wouldn't know.

"How about h-"

"Lilian!!"

The girl halted, hiding the elf princess behind her, her grip suddenly tightening on the toy out of nervousness.

No! I don't want to die just yet, Andy!! save me!!

"Why are you still up?"

"Oh, I– I was looking for something."

"What? Did you find it? Is it something to be worried about?"

My death is what you should be worried about Human! leave so I can breathe.

Lillian's grip on the toy loosened seeing her mother's mood a bit better today. She smiled– at least she'll be able to sleep well tonight.

"No Mom, it's fine. It must be here somewhere. I'll find it you don't have to worry."

"Alright, just make sure you sleep on time.... Did you have dinner?"

"Yes, Dad made some pasta and we went to the garage sale after."

"Hmm....did you get something then?"

The little smile Lilian had turned into a wide-scale grin as she bouncged with happiness showing her mother the doll.

"I got this! isn't it pretty? Do you like it?"

"Wow!it's beautiful and looks quite fragile too. You should be careful with it Lilian."

of course, I am the elven beauty is something so rare you might never see me again so take a good look. 

the doll boasted in her mind.

"I will,Mom. I was trying to make a bed somewhere for her."

"Hmm, good idea. Now finish finding a spot for her and get to sleep, alright."

"Okay, mom.... Good night."

"Goodnight..."

And she went out. Lilian put the doll on the bed and smiled at her.

"Well, I guess you'll have to share with me tonight, princess. I'll get you your bed tomorrow."

And with that, she climbed in and closed her eyes going straight to sleep. The elf princess sat up after confirming the girl was asleep and looked around. A little fairy lamp lit the room that was almost so empty she felt bad for it. Even as a toy, she could tell the girl was different. The tone her mother used with her and the way her room was–or so to say the way she herself was– the elf princess detected something was wrong. She looked at the sleeping girl cuddling her pillow.

I wonder if this is normal?....i hope you're alright, kid.
