The Fourth Daughter

Chapter 7

Elvira began to develop a headache, she couldn’t decide if it was from hitting her head or the incessant awing and cooing from the lady, probably both, hopefully she wasn't going to develop a concussion she internally grumbled to herself.

After her injury was attended to by her now apparent "sister" and "mother". She has not been given any reprieve from the attention being given from questioning how she was feeling to finishing the bath and afterwards being lathered with the sunscreen lotion again to then be dressed on the cushiony bed into the clothes she chose earlier along with the despised diaper and mittens.

Realizing the futility of resisting with the added presence of the eldest daughter flurrying around the room leaving Elvira no choice but to comply.

Met with darkness of the fabric pulled over Elvira's head to meet the light framing the figure of the now annoyingly familiar sight of Lady Dimitrescu who smiled at the sight of Elvira "There you are darling," leaning down to gently press a kiss to the now bandaged temple of the girl.

"Mother," Bela was standing by, slightly suprising Elvira who was mainly focused on Lady Dimitrescu "I have finished putting everything away just like you asked," stated rather proudly with a lacing undertone of expectancy.

"Thank you Bela, you did a good job,"

Bela beamed at the praise.

"Now my dears," Lady Dimitrescu continued on as she scooped up Elvira from the bed "I need to speak to your sisters about their expected behavior before they enter this room," Elvira did not like where this was going.

"I trust in you to look after your baby sister while I'm away momentarily," Lady Dimitrescu turned her attention scanning her eldest daughter's face.

"Of course Mother," Bela replied in a serious tone.

"While I'm away, please do brush the little ones hair, it's in a terrible need of attention," the lady chuckled as she brushed loose strands of hair out of Elvira's face, she then handed a now pouting girl to Bela.

"Yes Mother," Bela smiled, adjusting her hold on Elvira as she slightly bowed.

"Mommy will be back soon," Lady Dimitrescu reassured the nervous looking Elvira, she felt guilty leaving the girl even momentarily.

However the lady's face held affection looking back at the two, the corners of her eyes crinkling as her lips quirked up leaving a sort of syrupy expression at the sight of her eldest and youngest daughter together.

She turned to exit, the heavy door clicked shut leaving the room in silence.

Much to Elvira's relief she was set on the cushiony couch instead of Bela’s lap who also seated herself on the couch with a vintage looking hairbrush and some other objects Elvira couldn’t identify.

This allowed Elvira to finally get a good look at Bela, the first time the girl has even met Bela or the other sisters was not the greatest of circumstances a few days ago with the whole sacrifice and all covered in blood thing.

So not the best first impression, but today Bela’s appearance didn't involve the dark hood obstructing any
