Porcelain Dolls

Melanie POV...

"Hey!" I called out to them. They looked at me and quickly walked over. As they came closer I noticed they were twins.

One of them had a red shirt wearing cat ears and the other was wearing a purple shirt with cat ears. By there feet they had tails also. What the heck is going on here?

"Oh my god are you new here?" The one in the purple said. I nodded, still confused on why they were dressed as cats.

"I'm ally" the one in red said "and this is Chrissy" she said smiling.

"I'm Melanie but um why are you guys dressed like cats?"

"We are the doll masters house cats" they said in unison.

"Doll master? House cats?"

"He didn't explain to you. We are his dolls. We are supposed to do what he says or we die or something." Ally said. Her eyes started watering and looked down. "I don't like being here, I just want to go home."

"Do you know why he took us here? Is there other people?"

"Yes there's more people and I don't know why he is doing this." Chrissy said.

"How long have you guys been here?"

"Two weeks. We tried to leave but there's nothing but hallways and doors and some of them are locked."

"There's barely any windows and if you see any they have bars on them"

"Yeah I seemed to notice that." I said clenching my fist.

I sighed and then I heard someone stomping up the stairs. Me and the twins turned towards the stairs and saw royalty coming up.

They got down on there hands and knees and would meow every few seconds. Every time they would meow there ears and tails would move. That was pretty cool if you ask me.

I looked up to see royalty a few feet away from me.

"Ahh you met my cats. Aren't they lovely" he said gesturing them to come to him. They did and he rubbed their heads. I stood there quietly watching him. How come someone as gorgeous as him do something like this.

"Come with me darling. I have to tell you something." He held his hand out for me but I didn't take it.

"Melanie grab my hand and walk with me." He said sternly. Chrissy and ally looked at me pleading with their eyes for me to listen and I sighed.

I took his hand in mine and he started to lead me downstairs. I looked back towards the twins and they stood up and waved. I gave them a faint smile and continued going down all the steps.

"You must be wondering why they were dressed like that but I think they already told you." I nodded my head in response.

"You will also play dress up from time to time and act in front of me."

"What if I don't."

"For me to know and you to find out."

"You would have fun here. Trust me you will." He stopped and looked into my eyes. "Say you will have fun here".

I let go of his hand and kept quiet. "Say it." He said sternly his voice deepening. I still didn't say anything and he brought his fist up and punched me in the stomach really hard.

I hunched over holding my tummy groaning in pain. Oh god that hurt so much. He grabbed my hair and the bottom of my chin and lifted my face so I was looking at him. "Say it".

"I will have fun here" I choked out holding back my tears. I wanted to cry so bad but I didn't want to. I didn't want to make it seem like I was weak to him. "Good girl" he said and kissed my cheek.

I stood up straight and looked down still holding my tummy. "We will have a play later on today and you are going to be in it. I will give you a part and no there is no script but if you do say the wrong thing there would be consequences."

I nodded. He kissed my cheek once again before tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

"You'll love it here. I promise you would." He smiled and walked away. I looked at my surroundings and I was in the living room. It was huge. It had a fire place and on top of the fire place was a flat screen tv.

The couches were leather and there were three of them with a foot rest. There was a rocking chair along with he furniture. There windows had white curtains that were a little see through. Beside the couches there was a table with cup holders and it had a picture frame.

There was dolls in the picture frame. Pretty ones at that. There were pictures hanging on the wall and some candles. It was pretty nice.

I made my way back upstairs to lay down for a bit. I was looking up at the ceiling when I heard my door open. I looked over and saw the twins.

"What happened? What he say?" They said in unison. I smiled. I always wanted a twin and I like how they said things in unison.

"He said that I'll love it here and that there will be a play later on today." There face saddened.

"I hate doing plays. There kind of dumb, they were fun back in kindergarten" ally said crossing her arms. I giggled at her and she smiled.

"What else did he do to you. I heard you groan." Chrissy said. I stopped smiling and looked back to the ceiling.

"He made me say some things and he punched me in he stomach when I didn't say it." I heard them growl. I looked back over to them and they sat on my bed.

"I'm sorry he did that to you." Chrissy said rubbing my arm. "Get some rest we will wake you when it's time for the play" ally said.

"Thanks" I flipped over to my side and they got up and left shutting the door behind them. What made him want to do this to people? I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
