Chapter Four: A Babysitter
After the first day of mourning, they went back home and slept. Just like a normal routine. Of course what they will see the next day will be pretty fun…
It's six o'clock in the morning when Hera woke up to the scent of lemon tea.
"Urgh…who in the hell's making tea in six a.m.?" Hera asked rolling off of her bed.
Running down the stairs, she went straight to the kitchen to yell her lungs out to whoever's making the lemon tea.
"Who- …" she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw the orange haired man.
"Oh, good morning Miss Asker, I am rather glad to see you awake." He said smiling.
Giving him a quick glare, she went back to her room and dialed 911.
"Hello?...Yeah., there's a guy in my house…no, he's not stealing or anything…no, he didn't kill anyone but he's in my house and acting as if he lives there….I don't think he lives here….I've lived here for a lot of years….What? I'm sorry but….Bitch, hung up on me!" Hera said, glaring at the phone.
Hearing knocks on the door; she opened it and saw the orange haired man holding a basket out to her.
"Miss Asker, I found these on the floor. I thought you might want it back." He said, handing her the basking, flowing with fabric and sewing materials.
"Errr…I don't think this is mine…maybe it's Tanya's, I'll give it to her later…"Hera said, plopping down the basket on her bed.
"Very well, I will just wake Miss and Sir Wells." He said, going up the stairs.
Groaning, Hera went out to the kitchen again and took out a bowl, a spoon some random cereals and milk. Mixing them together, she went to the living room and started eating while watching T.V.
Finally finishing, she just dumped the bowl in the sink and went back to her room. Locking it carefully, she took out from under her bed a sewing kit. Taking a mannequin out from her closet, she began draping the red velvet on it and pinning some parts down into the mannequin. Sitting down cross-legged on the floor, she cut a long strip of the gold silk and wrapped it around the mannequin's waist. As she began sewing, she heard loud knocks on her door. Letting out a silent scream, she carefully hid the mannequin behind the curtains and opened the door.
"What?!" she yelled out into the empty hallway.
"Miss Asker, please refrain from yelling here. Now please do go to the dining hall." The orange-haired man said to Hera with a slight tsk.
Muttering curses under her breath, she went to the dining room, to see Tim sitting at one of the counter chairs with a cranky looking Tanya in her wheelchair right beside him.
"Yo, what's up?" Hera asked, swinging up the chair near Tim.
"Dad got Tanya new caretakers." Tim whispered, "Tanya doesn't like it every time dad does that remember?"
"Yeah, I remember." Hera said, smirking at the memory of her adoptive sister not cooperating with her caretakers.
When the orange haired man entered he brought along a raven haired man with him. Stepping forward he smiled and looked at each of them in the eye.
"Hello and good morning Miss and Sir Wells and Miss Asker." He said "I am Baron Humbert von Gikkingen, one of your caretakers." He said with a slight bow. "And this…" he gestured to the raven haired man "is Toto Martins. Your second caretaker"
Just as he finished introducing Toto, a loud snort escaped from Hera and a slight chuckle from Tim. Tanya on the other hand just cocked her head to one side of her head before going to him. Taking out a pad of paper, she scribbled something and handed it to him, taking it he smiled when he saw what was written there, it says:
"Toto? Like Dorothy's puppy from the Wonderful Wizard of OZ?"
Toto handed the page back with a picture of a dog sketched on it.
"Yes Miss Tanya, like that dog from the book." He said with a gentle smile.
Beaming at him, Tanya shook his hand and went back next to her brother.
"Now since the two of you will be staying here for some time, I will be watching after Miss Wells but do not worry there will still be freedom for all of you. I hope we can become quite bearable with one another."
"Yeaahhh…after waking me up with the smell of tea? I don't think so." Hera said, getting up from her chair and walking out of the dining room.
"Miss Asker, you must know that I am just your caretaker…not your maid." Baron's voice, stopped Hera.
Spinning around to face him, she gave him a cold look before walking to the sink where her breakfast things are and put them in the dishwasher. Banging the door shut, she walked of grumbling and cursing under her breath. Baron just shook his head and went out to the garden and sat on one of the chairs, closing his eyes he thought he heard a distinctive voice call for him.
"Baron?"
He ignored it.
"Baron!"
He tensed at first but once again, chose to ignore it.
"Baron Humbert von Gikkingen, will you listen to me?!"
Opening his eyes, he looked for the source of the voice. Looking down, he saw a rabbit figurine scowling at him.
"What took you so long?" she asked standing on her hind legs and crossing her arms.
"I'm sorry, but I believe we have never met before." He said, getting out of the chair and peering at the rabbit closely.
"Oh, no worries about that…listen…I've got horribly terrible news..." the rabbit said, going closer to Baron. "The porcelain doll…she's burning and destroying the creations." It finished.
Baron's eyes widened, shaking his head he looked at the rabbit, a fierce look on his face.
"Tell the other creations, warn them. I'm going to have to sort this out myself." He said, standing up.
The rabbit nodded and hopped off immediately, to where some creations are. Baron looked back, and saw nothing. When he entered the mansion, he saw Toto sitting down on the couch sketching something.
"Toto…we might have to leave for a while." Baron said, sitting next to his friend.
"What? Why?" Toto asked, looking surprised at what Baron said.
"The doll is back." Baron muttered
"I thought she was gone…" Toto thought, out loud.
"So did I. until I received the news."
Sighing, Toto stood up and combed through his dark hair before letting out an exasperated sigh, *I thought we got rid of her already* he thought.
"Why don't we stay her for some time until we make a decision as to what we will have to do." Baron suggested.
"Alright." Toto said, going out of the room.
A.N. Yay! Speaking parts for the Baron and Toto! If you guys are wondering on where Muta is, he's in the house…somewhere….*giggle* So what do you guys think of this chapter anyway?
