Headmistress Help!

Chapter 7

Sighing and reading over her list, Elisabeth gave a firm nod of her head as she accepted that the base rules she had would have to suffice. Getting up and glancing at the clock, she was highly surprised to see that nearly an hour and a half had passed since she had laid Eleanor down to sleep, which meant that dinner would be ready very soon. Walking to her bedroom, she pushed open the door and sat down beside a sleeping Eleanor. Watching the platinum haired girl sleep peacefully made Elisabeth smile, and she reached over and gently brushed some stray hair out of Eleanor's face. "Sweetie," she called gently, starting to softly wake Eleanor up. The girl stretched a little before curling back up. "Eleanor," Elisabeth used a gentle sing song like voice, repeatedly calling for Eleanor to wake up whilst she shook her gently every now and then. Eleanor's eyes slowly opened and she stumbled to sit up, before her bottom lip dropped and she started to cry heavily. "Oh I know," Elisabeth hushed as she pulled her into her arms. 

"M-meanie," Eleanor whimpered and hiccuped against her sleepily.

"I know, I'm ever so mean," Elisabeth agreed softly, rubbing Eleanor's back. The little girl eventually calmed down and then snuggled closer

"Sowwys," she coughed against the head mistresses throat.

"For what?"

"You no meanie. Is just tired," She rubbed at her eyes and sniffled.

"It's okay," Elisabeth gently ran her fingers through Eleanor's hair and rocked her slowly. "Take your time to wake up, little one."

"I is wake," Eleanor yawned and nuzzled in closer. Elisabeth simply hummed in response and continued to play with her hair.

"Dinner will be ready soon, little one," Elisabeth commented quietly and Eleanor clung to her tightly.

"So I has to be big?" She questioned and Elisabeth nodded her head.

"If you can be, but before that, I have some rules that you will need to follow, alright?" In response Eleanor nodded and Elisabeth handed her the sheet of paper.

Rules;

• Always call me Mummy. When other people are around, call me Ma'am.


• Do not back chat.


• Go to bed when you are told. 


• Eat at least two well sized meals a day.


• Shower once a day.


• Do not fight your transitions.


• If you need me, come and get me. 


• Do not be bratty.


Elisabeth watched quietly. She hadn't included any sexual rules, because she wasn't entirely sure if this would be platonic or not. Eleanor read them over a couple times and nodded. "I think I can remember these," she said quietly. Elisabeth noted the change in her voice and slowly moved away, knowing how when she was big she didn't like to be touched. Eleanor looked up at her. "Why are you helping me?"

"Because if I remember rightly, you said to me that we could help each other. Now I know exactly what it is that's going on, I can help you better," she said calmly.

"I.. erm..." Eleanor looked at one rule in particular. 'If you need me, come and get me'. She hated imposing, and she looked up at the headmistress who didn't seem to be pressing her for anything.
