Full of it.

Chapter 6

Eloise felt the blood run from her face, she looked around frantically for something, anything to offer her a chance to avoid the situation. Eloise mentally admonished herself for drinking the water, for pouring fuel to the inevitable fire.

Eloise kept alternating between sitting on the floor and kneeling in hopes of finding a position that negated her bladder's urge to release. With little success she could feel the urge to go growing, and her urge to break the rules grew in tandem.

Eloise lifting up the front of her t-shirt to reveal the still pristine nappy, she knew there was no way out of it. She lifted herself off the floor and assumed a squat before focussing on her urge to pee.

"I can do this." She muttered under her breath pushing herself to undo her lifetime of toilet training. She worried that if she pushed too hard she would end up with more than just a wet nappy.
After a moment of concentration and pure will, a drop trickled out of her and into the awaiting nappy, another drop followed swiftly behind the first. The two drops were all that was needed to open the gates of her bladder, the fluid flowed into the nappy soaking into the material causing the nappy to swell and sag.
Eloise looked down and under her shirt, the white padding had swollen and turned from pure white to a yellow tinge. Curious, she poked and prodded the nappy feeling and listening to the change in the nappy.
Feeling a sense of accomplishment, Eloise returned to the desk and sat down causing her nappy to squish against her, the sensation of which sent new, confusing emotions through her body.

Without any further concern for her soggy situation, she resumed her colouring while embracing the warmth and feel of the nappy.

Within moments of her resuming the task, she was once again interrupted by the door opening, and a person entering the room without the courtesy that Miss Suzie had shown.

"Well, well, well. Looks like you've finally been put in your place little Eloise." The person loudly proclaimed causing Eloise to jump at the volume. She quickly looked up and shuffled back to see Mark, one of the 'obnoxious asshats' who occupied the desk next to her old workstation.

He was sporting a grin from ear to ear as he spoke, the redness in his face led Eloise to believe that he had been either laughing or crying and she confidently assumed that it wasn't from crying.

"Mark." She said coldly, not wanting him to stick around, although she couldn't do anything about his presence.

"You just made me very happy Ellie. You wet your nappy like a good girl and scored me a case of beer." He praised her, reaching forward, ruffling her hair and messing up the neat manner it had been in.

A tainted feeling came over Eloise, she felt like she had been used as a sport for betting purposes... not as a 'community project' like John had insinuated.
Tears began to well up in her eyes, Mark realised and was about to start a new cycle of teasing until he was stopped by the door bursting open.

John stood there, his face murderous with rage as he walked right up to Mark.
"Your marching orders Mark. The lawyers will be in touch regarding your unlicensed gambling on our premesis, now get out." John spat in a controlled manner, staring Mark in the eyes and holding out a white envelope.

Mark speechless lost the colour in his face, looking now like he had seen a ghost. He looked down at the envelope in front of him and hesitantly took it from John's hands. John stood to the side allowing Mark to exit the room.

As he rounded the corner Eloise saw Miss Suzie through her tear-stained vision, closing the nursery door behind him leaving just her and John in the nursery.

An awkward silence filled the room.

John quickly knelt down next to Eloise, embracing her without question or hesitation and catching her off guard.

His warmth. The fast beating of his heart, barely audible through his shirt.

"I'm sorry little Ellie. Today was supposed to go a lot smoother, but hopefully now that I have established the consequences of treating you badly, the others will be more in tune with your new role." John apologised.

Eloise didn't speak a word in reply, still feeling dirty and used. Instead she nestled further into John's chest, wrapping her arms around him.

"How about you have a break, I can see you've been doing some colouring. So why don't you have a nap and I'll get Miss Suzie to bring you in some snacks later." John said, seeming more chirpy than when he first walked in.

Eloise looked up at John as he mentioned a nap, "Where will I take this nap?" She asked curiously.

John chuckled and simple nodded his head in the direct of the large crib sitting against the wall next to him.

"Come on El, crawl in and I'll get you settled." John ushered her, watching her awkwardly crawl over to crib and climb up onto the mattress. Before she could even sit down, John had the side of the crib raised and locked into position. The side was high enough that even he wouldn't be able to climb out unassisted, Eloise turned around and looked at him with a playful sense of hurt.

"How rude. Locking me away so no one else will get to me. I never thought you'd be so controlling." She joked.

John looked at her with a smirk and walked over to the dresser near the tunnel Eloise entered the room through. He opened a drawer and retrieved something out of it before walking back to Eloise in her crib.

"Open up." John simply said, striking as soon as she opened her mouth.

Eloise closed her eyes and opened her mouth, instantly surprised to feel something rubbery enter her mouth. Instinctively she bit down finding that she couldn't completely close her mouth, she opened her mouth and could see John holding something plastic and pastel yellow, up against her mouth.

"Dummies don't get removed from your mouth until someone takes it out for you. Now sleepy time." John teased before walking out of the room. As he closed the door the lights dimmed down and some subtle nursery style music began playing through some speakers built into the ceiling.

As Eloise rolled over to attempt a daytime nap, she realised that there was some light eminating from the one way glass, which bordered the office area. With the light came shadows, shadows of figures standing by the glass, watching her.

She knew that facing the window would only make her more paranoid, Eloise closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh. A sigh that carried her mind from her body and off to the land of dreams.
