When we pull up you know it's a shut down.

Clementine P.O.V

So you are not in fact related?

"Oh my gosh...NO!!!" I huff out for the millionth time. They just keep asking the same thing over and over.

"Our trial ended an hour ago with no punishment surprisingly. Well at least for me. Ronnie unfortunately got community service for 2 weeks which I can't be shocked about.

'He did commit a crime and I was his acompliss.'

We're still sat in the empty thrown room with just us three in it given they wanted to torture me away from lurking eyes.

Ronnie was taken by another female guard to get aquanted to his new job. He's not complaining either given the fact this guard was his type.

But I mean I'll be damned if she bats an eye to my little Ron bun.

"I suggest you lower your tone when speaking to us or anyone for that matter Clementine." The black haired woman spoke in an annoyed tone. She looks at me with disbelief until her wife rubs her arm affectionately.

'Ew, lovey dovey stuff." I let out causing the red haired one to let out a chuckle.

"Is he your brother? I mean you're too young to be out by yourself committing such a crime with a stranger, Surely he's some father figure to you?"

Blinking up at them I give a look of disbelief.

What?!

"Bahaha what?!"

"I am in fact not a child for your information; I'm 19 thank you very much."

There seemed to be a long pause after my words and caused the black haired woman to stare intently at me.

"Right....." She spoke.

Glaring at her we stood in a long silence before her wife motioned with her hand and urges me to follow them out the large throne room to a section I've never been in before.

Lining the walls were small minimalistic furniture and large pictures with people sitting in them.

'Maybe the royal family' I hum to myself.

"So will I know you're names or am I supposed to keep mentioning you by the color of your hair I huff out."

I mean did they just expect me to guess their names.

If so then they'd be miss rude and nice and she devil; I'm sure you can guess which is which.

"Apologies, I would have assumed my wife would have introduced us while I was busy taking care of your.....let's just say accomplice."

You may call me Queen Elvira and you will address my wife as Queen Valentina." The black head known as Elvira spoke out in an irritated voice.

"Sounds more like evil to me you witch." I whisper out yet judging by their faces it wasn't so much of a whisper after all.

"What did you just say to me you litt-". Elwitch said out but not finishing her sentence before her wife grabs her and whispers something into her ear.

Whatever was said seemed to ease her attitude more. Yes ATTITUDE! How dare she act that way as Queen.

I took this time to look around seeing as we stopped in a small area in the house that led to three rooms but what caught my eye the most was the room to my right.

While they continue calming she devil down I take this as my opportunity to sneak into the massive room.

"Wow." Is all I can say in disbelief.

The room was any childs or adults dream!!!
It was littered with toys of all ranges; cars, dolls, game systems, and baby blocks?

There was even a slide!

It wasn't huge but I mean, who has a frickin slide in their house.

To my right there were stuffed animals sat on a day bed in the window. I mean this room was the size of an theater.

I notice a foam pit under a small little jungle gym as well.

But nothing was as impressive as the slide sat in the middle, unfortunately I couldn't find stairs to lead to the top so I do the most rational thing.

I start to climb from the bottom of the slide.
Plus why have stairs when you can do this!?

I begin climbing up the slide only slipping a little but I regain my grip and continue up when the rudest thing happens.

Valentina's pov

Never in my 32 years have I met a child to piss my wife off this greatly. I'm not even sure she's pissed off because of her, maybe a little but not entirely.

"Elvira love, calm down for me please. What's troubling you so much that you're letting something so small get to you?

As I wait for an answer I start small back rubs hoping to ease her tension, which seemed to work.

"I don't know, I'm sorry." She tells me in a soft voice that I oh so adore.

"I'm just in shock still I guess. I mean you seen them? Besides their height, I wouldn't think anyone of them were above 18. I mean the boy maybe, but her ? She looks sickly for anyone of her age. There's just no way she's 19."

Nodding I agree in her statement, she did have a fair point. Anyone who seen Clementine would never ever bet on her being what? 19?.

"Maybe she just doesn't want to get in trouble since how serious it is with homeless children on the streets. I mean she's probably no older than 15. The boy could have made her follow him around so she feels the need to cover him up?!" I admit to her causing a soft hum before she lets out a small chuckle.

I frown pulling back looking at her in confusion.

"What?"

"Nothing....mhm behind you." she tells me before chuckling again; looking in confusion I still nod and do what she says only to gasp slightly.?

Turning back I stare at her in shock before slapping her arm ready to scold her for thinking this was a laughing matter until she motions me to the room next to us.

Widening my eyes I go towards the room ready to take her out the room but Elvira softly grabs me holding me in her arms.

"Let her be." She tells me in amusement watching the small girl go through the toys and games scattered around; we really need to clean that room up.

"But th-"

"Sh it's okay, she's fine. She isn't doing anything bad.... well except now." She laughs out speaking too soon.

"And to think you were gonna scare her away a few minutes ago." I mutter before going to stop her from climbing the entire slide.

'My goodness what did I get myself into.'
