After I stalked out of my own room, I locked the doors behind me, ensuring she wouldn't wander. I didnt trust her, not after she tried to run like that. What as she thinking? Did she still not believe what I said or was she just trying to prove me wrong? I walked quickly down the hall and into another wing of the palace, where the other girls resided in their huge posh rooms, each suited towards their tastes. I spoiled them, giving them whatever they desired.
I came to the lavender curtains that marked Azura's rooms and pushed them aside. She was sitting in her dressing gown of baby pink, her hair slightly damp from a recent bathing. She was seated beside one of the large windows in the window seat I had conjoured for her, reclining against the pastel cushions. Upon seeing me, she lept up from her perch and squealed, fairling jumping into my arms.
"Oh Master, Master~" she purred and I remembered suddenly the note she had slipped me...that I had not read.
"Hush now dear, I am here to ask a favor. I need to borrow a dress...for Renee." I said, feeling embarassed. She frowned slightly.
"What happened to the one she was wearing?" She seemed at once like the dissaproving mother scolding her naughy son.
"Relax, pet. She...ah. Well." I raked my hand through my hair nervously. "She tried to run. I had just told her there was no going back to the mortal realm and she darted. She must have gotten caught in the rose bushes and tore it up. All I know is when I finally found her...well Lura found her...the dress was half gone."
Azura seemed worried now, and her eyes swelled with concern. "Oh the poor thing!" She exclaimed, and dashed down a tiny hall to another curtained doorway. She fumbled around a few minutes within then re-emerged with a soft light sleeping gown and a warm fluffy robe to match.
"We might as well get her to bed. Poor thing is so tired and confused. I saw it in her eyes before, how lost she looked-" She muttered as she also scooped up a pair of soft pink slippers from her own collection by the door.
"She's in my room. I lent her one of my robes and sat her on my bed. I locked the door so she wouldn't try anything." I explained as we left her rooms and walked back towards mine.
"Well no wonder she's so frightened. The way you treat her...like a prisoner. If she feels so afraid let her run, let her wear herself out. She'll have to find out for herself she cannot return to her realm." Azura said calmly, as we came to my doors.
"Yes I shall." I nodded and opened the doors. "Ah, you'd better go in first..." I said, awkwardly. "I think she's hating me right now."
Azura nodded, as if anyone in Renee's situation might hate me. She slipped inside and I after her, sitting in the corner of the front most room while she went to Renee in my bedroom. She came back out almost immediatly.
She tutted and sighed. "She's passed out...too much excitement and rich food and the nectar got to her. I'll see if I can change her but there's no moving her...you'll have to sleep elsewhere tonight..." She said silkily, looking at me through her lashes before drifting back into the bedroom. I felt my desire stire within me but I held myself. A few long painful moments later she re-emerged.
"Alight. Wow, she's really light. Like a butterfly." She said dreamily. Azura herself was all wonderful curves. Curves I loved to grasp to me and hold tight.
I got up and she took my hand and giggled. "Come Master, we can go back to my room and...relax." she said in her sulty voice. I waited until we were safely in her rooms before I swung her into my arms and carried her into her bedroom, dropping her roughly on her bed as she laughed. I rolled on top of her and buried my face in her hair as she stroked my head.
