Little Queens: Six the Musical

Chapter 6

Trigger Warnings: Nothing...Just Some Panicked Thoughts I guess. If I miss any, please let me know.

Jane hesitantly knocked on the door of the other dressing room. She hoped that Kat wouldn't be the one to open the door. Of course, she would be thrilled if the youngest queen would regress down. They would never force her to, of course, but Kat would probably be the most hesitant one to do it either way. She would probably be confused as to why Anne was holding her hand, too.

The door opened and Cathy stood there. She was wearing a sports bra and jeans. She looked confused.

"Kat's on Live. What's up?"

"We just gotta let this little one hang out with us for a little while," Jane replied in the same hushed tone Cathy was using. She motioned to Anne with her head.

Cathy's eyes widened and a grin grew on her face. "Little one?"

Anne gave a shy little wave at Cathy. She had resorted to half hiding behind Jane, although it didn't work very well.

Cathy looked like she was about to die from cuteness overload. She gently took Anne's hand and pulled her inside the room. She was careful to avoid the corner of the room where Kat was. She didn't want the live stream to see them.

Jane came in after them. She went over by Kat. She then noticed that Anna was also hanging around the live stream, occasionally popping in and out.

"Look! The elusive Jane Seymour appears from hibernation!" Kat laughed, directing the phone in her direction.

Jane humored the younger girl and took Anna's place. Their laughter was, unintentionally, enough to drown out Cathy, Anna, and Anne in the other corner of the room.

The three of them were on the floor. Cathy and Anna were entertaining Anne with a few toy race cars they had found somewhere outside. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Cathy took on a big sister sort of role, making sure that Anne wasn't trying to eat the cars and that Anna wasn't destroying anything.

Soon, Catherine came into the dressing room. She was changed out of her costume and she had her hair down. She went over by the three girls on the floor.

"Oh, dang. Did I miss playtime?" She asked the three of them.

Even from across the room, Kat's head had perked up. She flinched and Jane had noticed.

"Kat, are you alright?" She asked softly, well aware that they were still live streaming.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. We should probably be wrapping this thing up though, shouldn't we?"

"Of course, if you want to."

They soon finished the live, due to Kat basically just saying goodbye and turning it off. Some people had begun to comment on Kat's sudden change of behavior. They weren't able to hear the other girls though, so they had no context as to why. And neither did Jane.

"Katherine, are you alright, love?" Jane asked once again.

She nodded and lied. "I'm alright. Just needed to run to the bathroom, to be honest."

Jane looked at her unconvinced but nodded. "Okay, if you say so. I'm going to go get the others so we can go home."

Kat did go to the bathroom as she said she would. She looked at herself in the mirror, shaking her head. The tears had unintentionally filled her eyes.

Playtime...

She was going to be sick.

<><><><><>~<><><><><>~<><><>

The car ride home was awkward. Jane and Catherine sat in the front like normal, with Catherine driving. Cathy and Anne sat in the middle seat. Kat and Anna sat in the back seat.

Kat was completely quiet and still the entire time. She watched in utter confusion as her beheaded cousin was asleep next to Cathy. Cathy was running her hand through Anne's hair. The second queen's thumb was in her mouth, though. Why would Anne be doing that? Only babies did that...right?

Kat really wanted to ask what the hell was going on. But she knew better than to. Asking questions got you hurt. Being silent and doing what you're told made you stay alive. Stay alive, hah, look where that got you last time. It got you beheaded.

And she especially couldn't now. Not after she heard about playtime...How could she have been so stupid? Of course, this place was too good to be true. They were just waiting until her walls came down. Then they would play with her. She didn't want to be played with anymore. Playtime was supposed to be over...

"Kat. Kat. Kat. Kat. Kat. Kat." Anne was snapping her fingers in front of Kat's face, trying to get her attention.

"Oh, what?" She looked up at her cousin.

"Just wanted to let you know that we're back and home. You've kinda been staring off into space for a while. We've been waiting for you."

"S-Sorry. I didn't mean to, I'm coming."

They've been waiting for me...Oh god. No, she wouldn't let it happen again. She would get out of that house as soon as she could, no matter what the punishment was.
