"wake up" the man said as he roughly pushed elle awake.

"you got shit to do today so hurry up and eat" he tossed a sandwhich to her and watched as she gingerly unwrapped the sandwhich and took a big bite out of it. Elle hadn't eaten in days so she wasted no time in finishing off the sandwhich

as soon as she was done eating the man led her out of the dingy room and down the stairs, bringing her into the kitchen. waiting for them was a brownskin woman with long black hair and green eyes. she smiled when she saw elle, and elle couldnt help but notice how the pretty woman reminded her of her mother.

"aye ima leave yall to get aquantied, but don't try no slick shit" he said giving the woman a side eye.

"nigga i know what i'm doing so you can leave now. i'll call you when i'm done "

"yeah whatever bitch, just make sure she looks good or thats yo ass" he said as he walked out the door leaving the girls alone.

smiling, the woman turned to elle "whats your name sweetie ?"

"elle" she answered shyly.

"elle, thats such a pretty name for a pretty little girl. My name is tasha" she said smiling

for the first time elle looked around and noticed all the different shampoo bottles hair and stuff lying around the kitchen. " whats this for" she asked shyly

"i'm gonna give you a little makeover sweetie ! when i'm done with you wont even recognize yourself." a look of worry flashed across elle's face.

"don't worry babygirl you're gonna love it, you'll be a brand new elle !" tasha beamed

Tasha led elle over to a small chair and sat her down. she ran her fingers through elle's long brown curls with excitement, visualizing exactly how she wanted her hair to turn out.

two hours later tasha was finally done with elle's hair. After making sure every curl was in the right place, she grabbed a mirror and showed elle her new look. When elle looked at herself in the mirror her jaw dropped. The long curls flowing over her shoulders that were once a dark brown color were now platinum blond.

"well... how do you like it ?" tasha asked elle excitedly

"it's.. um..." elle was at a loss for words. she couldn't believe the girl staring back at herself was really her.The long blond curly hair and her big brown eyes paired with her tiny frame gave her the appearance of a lifesize doll.

Tasha stood back and admired her work while elle continued staring at her hair in the mirror. To say tasha was excited was an understatement. Mac had asked her to make the little girl look like a doll and that's exactly what she did. She hoped he was pleased with elle's appearance because if not, she wouldn't get her money and he'd probably beat her ass for fucking it up.

Tasha took a minute to look over the rest of elle's appearance. she looked down at her grimy clothes and the dirt under her fingernails and shook her head.

"come on babygirl let's get you out of those filthy clothes and clean you up" tasha said, snapping elle out of her daze.

tasha led elle down the hall to a small bathroom. The walls were a dull grey color and the tiles on the floor had turned brown with age. Tasha sat elle down on the toilet while she began running bath water. she clipped elle's hair up so that it wouldnt get wet and then helped her undress.

"okay babygirl i'm gonna give you some privacy because i know you're old enough to bathe yourself but you have to promise me you'll behave while you're in here" tasha said while looking at elle pointedly

"i promise" elle said quietly

pleased with her answer, tasha smiled brightly at elle.

" you hurry up and get cleaned and i'll be right out there" tasha said while pointing to the door.

elle nodded and waited for tasha to close the door, then she began taking off her clothes. When she got in the tub she waisted no time in washing her body. she had to learn the hard way what happens when she takes too long to do what she's been told.

Elle washed up for about ten minutes before she got out of the tub. She wrapped herself up in a towel and then gathered up her dirty clothes from the floor. she opened the door slowly to find tasha standing in front of her.

a look of surprise crossed tasha's face "done already ?"

elle nodded and pulled her towel tighter around her body.

"okay well lets go get you dressed" tasha said while smiling excitedly.

elle was silent as tasha led her down the hall to a bedroom. The only thing in the room was a king sized bed and a small dresser. On the bed was a powder blue dress with short sleeves and frills at the bottom and a clean pair of underwear.

Instead of leaving the room and giving elle her privacy, tasha turned her back to elle and allowed her to get dressed. When she was finished tasha handed elle a pair of white sandals that had bows on the middle of each shoe.

when her shoes were on, tasha unclipped elle's hair and let her long blond curly hair fall over her shoulders and down her back. Tasha added a white headband to elle's hair and stood back to admire her appearance. She looked like the perfect doll.

"Aye where the fuck yall at !" mac screamed from the kitchen

"We're in the back !" tasha yelled while rolling her eyes

a minute later Mac walked through the door and into the room. When he took a moment to examine elle's appearance and then nodded his head in approval.

"You did good ma, good looking out" he said while handing tasha three hundred dollar bills. Tasha snatched her money out his hand eagerly and stuffed it in her bra.

"well i guess i'm done here. Nice meeting you babygirl" she said while smiling at elle. Tasha gave elle a small hug and then headed back to the kitchen to gather up her things.

Mac tilted his head and looked at elle. He liked how innocent the blond hair made her look, it would be perfect for potential customers.

"alright babygirl, i need you to go stand with your back against that wall and smile pretty for me" he said while taking out his camera

elle quickly did as she was told and smiled as big as she could. Mac asked her to do a few more poses while he took pictures of her. When he was done he looked over the pictures he had taken and smiled wickedly. She was definitely going to make him a lot money.
