the sister is the assistant who works in the House, just so you're not confused ^^;
Isabella's POV
"Children! Come into the dining room, there's somebody I want to introduce to you!" I call. The children come running in, confused about the (short/tall/average) figure next to me.
"Eh? Mom, who's this?" Ray points at her. I tell him he'll find out soon once everyone has quieted down.
Everyone's taken their seats and I start talking. "Everyone, since Sister Krone moved on from Gracefield, we have a new Sister. This is Sister (Y/N)."
(Y/N) shyly waves at the group of kids. Their eyes are filled with interest as they study her features.
She clears her throat and says, "Uh... hi. I'm (Y/N), but I guess you call me Sister (Y/N)."
Your POV
Saying 'Sister (Y/N) makes me sound like a nun. I just want to become Mom once Isabella can't be...
Suddenly, an orange-haired girl bounds up to me and gives me a hug. "I'm Emma!" She points to a boy with white hair and a cardigan and another boy with black hair covering one of his eyes, "The one with white hair is Norman, and the one with black hair is Ray!"
I smile and pat her head, "It's very nice to meet you, Emma. I hope we become great friends."
My heart sinks as I remember when I signed up to be Sister. Judging by their ages, Ray, Emma, and Norman aren't going to live much longer.
<<<>>>
All of the kids have introduced themselves. It's going to take a while to memorize their names...
A knock on my door is heard. I get up from my desk and open it, seeing Isabella. I let her in and stand awkwardly in the middle of my room.
"Are you enjoying the place so far, (Y/N)?" she asks, walking up to me with a smile and putting her hand on my shoulder.
"Y-yes, I am. The kids are very nice, you have raised them well," I compliment, flustered at how close she was to me.
She says, "Thank you for saying so. You do know that they're not going to be around long, correct?" her persona suddenly turns cold.
"I- well, yes of course I know that. You just need to enjoy the time you have with them before they're shipped off, right?" I smile sadly.
Isabella looks me dead in the eye with a heartless expression and says: "Of course, but you cannot break character. If you mess up, you'll have the same fate as Krone."
My stomach drops as I feel a wave of nausea course through my body. Just as I was starting to like Isabella, she gives me a death threat?!
"O-of course, ma'am. I understand," I try to say as emotionless as possible. Instead, it came out strangled and it sounded like I was going to cry.
Isabella's POV
I seem to have scared (Y/N). A tiny part of me feels bad... she is quite cute. But I can't let that interfere with my priorities.
I smile at her and say, "Don't worry. I have strong faith in you!"
I leave her room and gasp as I see Don standing right in front of me.
"Don, dear, you startled me! Do you need something from Sister (Y/N)?" I ask, putting my hand against my heart.
He smiles, "Yeah, I wanted to give her a 'welcome to the House' gift!" he holds out his hands and shows a drawing of a pig with a yellow flower on its head.
I let him knock on her door and I head back to my office. I know that the kids are going to love (Y/N). She's fairly athletic, smart, and knows how to work with children. Just what I need in a Sister.
I sit down at my desk and start writing down shipment dates for eligible children, suggested by Headquarters.
A few hours later, a gentle knock was heard from the other side of the door.
"Come in," I say. The door creaks open and (Y/N) steps into the room.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you, but I would like to know what the children usually do for outside activities," she says, a little less nervous than when she first arrived.
I smile, "Sure. Usually, they play tag or hide-and-seek. Emma is one of our most athletic children here, and she usually wins."
"Ah. Do I play with them or do I keep watch like you?"
"You can do whichever one you want to do that day. If you're exhausted or injured, you can stay with the kids who don't play out in the woods."
(Y/N) nods and thanks me for the information. I pat her head and tell her to get some sleep since the sun has set hours ago.
"Goodnight, Isabella. I'll see you tomorrow!" she sends me a closed eye smile. I tell her the same and wave.
ayooo sorry this wasn't really romantic but this is what i coughed up :D
