Wives's Tale - Part 2

Wive's Tale - Part 2

I wake up to the caress of the sun's morning rays. The world is largely silent, so at first I think I'm hearing things. But as I focused my attention I realized I could hear what sounds like shouting coming from somewhere else. With a copious amount of effort, I pull myself out of the bed and stand.

It takes more energy than I'd like to admit, and far too long, but I managed to shuffle to the door. As I tentatively pull it open I realize, this will be the first time I've seen the outside of this room. I mean sure, that's technically not true but I was in far too much of a panic to take note of anything last time due to Charlotte and her goons... Charlotte, I wonder how she's doing. I can't imagine why I'm thinking of her, so I shake the thoughts from my head.

I peek my head out and check to see no one around. I guess I'm not a prisoner. I follow the sounds of shouting and I slowly hear things like, "...monstrous bitch!" and "I won't tell you again..." but it's muffled. As I make my way through the upstairs hallway I take note of how barren it is. I suppose there's little need for aesthetics in a hospital, but this is strange. I don't even see any other staff.

I make my way downstairs, following the shouts as they increase in intensity. Words are flying, and people are clearly pissed. As I reach a wooden door, I have just a moment to myself to contemplate whether this is a good idea or not. But against my better judgment, and with significant effort, I push the door open.

As I slide in between the doors to stand in the large, dome-like room within, I notice a set of five eyes on me. I feel extremely self conscious, like a child whose been caught doing something bad. My eyes dart around and I see Nina and her yellow hair, standing in the middle of four women I don't know. Well, I recognize Mimi, but I can hardly say I "know" her.

"My Lord..." each murmur in turn. I see that Nina's head is bowed, and though she tries to hide it, the tears are obvious. At the sight of the girls surrounding Nina, my vision flashes with anger. I immediately want to rip them to pieces, and if the pounding inside my head is any indication, Rei would indulge me; though I can't understand why. That thought alone terrifies me and causes my anger to abate. Nonetheless it's obvious enough to tell what's been going on.

It takes effort, but I march towards them, prepared to reprimand them when suddenly a woman I do not recognize speaks up, "Ah. My Lord. I'm sorry you've happened upon this. But I swear upon your honor that it is not what it looks like, not wholly. Jealousy is simply ugly, but common," she says while looking towards the others. She's definitely the oldest of the group, easily mid-twenties. Her hair is a beautiful white and in a single long braid that nearly touches the floor. Her eyes are a blue that would not be entirely out of place in my world. "Pray, if only for me, forgive them and their quarrel," she says, gesturing to the others.

Her eyes are soft but stern, like a mothers. She's wearing clothes that match the other girls in the room, besides Nina and myself. She's in a robe that is draped over her simply, and it reaches down to her ankles. The robe is a deep green and carries a symbol on the front in red, of what appears to be a man receiving a piece of fruit from another. Her voice carries a sensual charm to it that comes from deep inside, just behind her sternum- a sternum hidden behind an awfully large pair of breasts.

"Why the hell is that something I'm noticing?" I mentally berate myself for being weird- weird all morning. This woman, and her assets, comes complete in a package deal of about five ten. She's definitely the second tallest woman I've seen here, beaten only by Charlotte who's easily over six foot.

"I am Rosaline Vitrious, my Lord," she says while giving me a half bow.

"She's beautiful enough to justify the name," I think; when suddenly Mimi speaks up.
