Demon of my Demons

Seven: Baths and Dresses

I'm sitting on a wooden bench that Zakary has in his plank home. It's against the wall by the front door. The three demons and the angel are sitting around the table in wooden chairs. Jessamyn is siting next to me and is looking somewhat calmer. Probably the fact that there's an angel here. Zakary home is bigger than what I've ever been in, and I felt a bit of jealousy surfacing. I just push it back down, as it doesn't matter now. The guys are whispering about something, and it's making me a bit angry how they aren't including us. We are traveling with them, so we have the right to know what the hell their talking about. I mean yeah we with them against our will sort of, but still we have the right to know.

They all turn towards us suddenly when I'm about to say something to them. I raise an eyebrow as Zakary stands up and comes over to me. I stare at him and give him a once over, he has blond hair that's swept to the side and baby blue eyes. He's wearing a long sleeved button down shirt with black breeches, and with black leather suspenders and he's wearing brown leather boots. He then crouch down in front of me so he's looking at my injured foot, and I tried to move it when he touches it.

"I just want to look at it." He tells me.

"Why? What's in it for me?" I snap.

"You'll be able to walk again." He tells me seriously.

That shut me up. Zakary gives me a smirk as he slowly unwraps my bloody bandage, and I wince as it comes off my foot. His eyes widen as he sees my injured foot, before quickly looking back at Sirius.

"You really did a good job at ripping her foot open Sirius." He says to Sirius irritated.

"She started it!" Sirius growls.

"Hm." Zakary says before turning back to me. "This might pinch and tingle a bit, but you will be healed though." He tells me honestly.

I nod as he places his hand over my wound, and I wince a bit as I felt a warm sensation on my foot. I peek down at my foot to see that his hand and my foot is glowing a warm yellow, and he's right I felt a slight pinch and tingles over my foot. As soon as it started, it stops and I felt the pain has gone away.

"Better?" Zakary asks as he removes his hand from my foot.

I move my foot around before standing up feeling relief that I feel no pain. I glance up at Zakary and give him a small smile. Thank goodness I can walk on my own now! I thought relief. I hated being carried, and now I'm free to walk on my own like a normal person.

"Better. Thank you." I say genuine.

"Good. Now I need a favor from you." Zakary tells me with a smirk.

"What's this favor your talking about?" I ask him skeptically.

"I need you and your friend here to dress up for a party that's happening tonight. Xena is going to be there, well more like hiding in the back room. You two will need to dress up, more you than anyone." Zakary explains to me.

"A party?" I ask shock.

I've never been to a party before, it's only for the rich as they have the money. How does he expect me to dress up when I have no other clothing to wear? Is he stupid or something? Are they trying to mock me? I thought annoyed. I'm poor and have nothin else to wear, so I think they are mocking me! They are making fun of the poor girl who had nothing to her name.

"There's a bath upstairs for you and some soap. There's a cloth that you can dry yourself off with, and I'll bring you the new outfit you will be wearing. I'll leave it outside of the bathroom." Zakary explains to me.

I blink at him and he just gives me a smile like there is nothing wrong with what he just said. I think he's implying I'm dirty, and I know I probably am considering I don't bathe often. We always had trouble getting the ingredients for making our own soap.
