~~~~~~~~READ~~~~~~
A knock on the door abruptly woke Sabrina up from her nap.
A head popped in, followed by, "Miss Sabrina? May I come in?"
Oh, that must be Cordelia. "Erm," she straightened her rugged outfit and sat up in her bed, "yes, yes you may."
Cordelia strode into the room carrying a gray dress over her arms. "The lunch begins soon, and" Cordelia eyed her up and down, from her sweaty hair, to her smelly feet, "you haven't taken a shower yet!"
Before Sabrina could get a word out, she was being ushered into the shower and being stripped of her clothing. Cordelia turned on the shower to freezing and quickly shut the shower curtain. She heard a little "hurry up" before the sound of the water overwhelmed her.
She scrubbed her fingers into her drenched hair and squirted shampoo over her reeking body. Shutting off the cold water, she poked her head to ask for a towel. Oh, look, it was already there. Sabrina grabbed the soft blue towel and wrapped it around her head. She used a longer white towel to wrap around her damp body.
Stepping out, she dried herself and put on undergarments. With the blue towel still on her head, and her body clothed in a bra and tight shorts, she walked into the bedroom where Cordelia stood impatiently. Sure, this made her a bit uncomfortable, but come on, Cordelia had just seen her nude. How much more awkward could it get?
Glancing up from the dress, Cordelia hurried over to Sabrina. "Miss, will you please put this on?" She handed Sabrina the long gray dress.
Nodding, Sabrina slipped the dress over her head and turned towards the mirror. The dress was very tight in the chest and waist area, and then flowed out the remaining way. "Uh, Cordelia, I don't think this dress is allowing me to breathe," she gave a slight cough for emphasis.
Sighing, Cordelia shook her head. "I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do. King Puck has ordered that all the girls wear this dress."
"And the boys?"
This is when Cordelia's face turned a deep burgundy color. "The boys don't have a dress code, they may wear whatever they please."
What? This was not fair at all. Who did Puck think he was? Oh was she going to show him! "Do you agree with it?"
"Not at all. But I can't do anything, I'm nothing more than a maid."
"Oh," Sabrina let out a long breath and pursed her lips. "I'm sorry."
Frowning, Cordelia made her way to the door. "No need to be sorry," she said, and left without another word.
Poor Cordelia. She was a human just like everyone else. This was complete and total injustice towards females, and towards maids. Sabrina had to do something about it. Maybe Mustardseed would understand?
Sabrina let down her hair from the towel and let it hand damp across her back. No makeup, no hairdo, just her and a gray dress. Just in spite, she chose to wear gray flats instead of the high heels set out for her.
She went out the door with her head held high and walked into the Dining Area. The long table was already full. Boys dressed in different clothes on the left side of the table, and girls all dressed in tight gray dresses on the right. Puck sat at one end of the table and Mustardseed sat at the other end.
All the seats were full expect one next to Mustardseed, so she made her way towards the empty chair. She felt all eyes on her, and her face began to burn.
It felt like forever before she finally sat down in her seat.
"Okay, now that everyone is here," Puck began, glancing her way, "we may eat."
The occupants began to eat, some stuffing their faces, and others trying hard to eat politely. Sabrina noticed Puck paying careful attention to everyone's eating manners, most likely judging who would go home soon. So to make sure she stayed, she sat up straight and lay the napkin on her lap. Gingerly picking up the spoon, she scooped up some warm soup and gulped it down.
Wow that was good. She continued on to the chicken, and then finished it off with her drink. Eventually, she deemed it the right time to talk to Mustardseed.
Leaning over to whisper in his ear, she spoke, "Did Puck force us to wear these dresses?"
She caught Mustardseed shudder at her breath on his skin before he responded. "Yes, he says it's because he wants the girls to not stand out, but I think he just wants to check you all out."
Sabrina peeked at Puck, and found him sending a death stare right back.
"You had nothing to do with it?" she asked him, making sure not to let herself lean in too far.
"No. But… I'm not complaining," he said, sending a look at Sabrina's chest.
She promptly pretended to be cold, and wrapped her arms to cover her chest. "Pervert," she whispered, narrowing her eyes.
Mustardseed widened his eyes as if he hadn't realised he had been staring. "Oh! I'm sincerely sorry, I hadn't noticed…"
Well, at least he hadn't seemed too into it. Okay, good. She tore her eyes away and took a sip of her drink. A hand was soon placed onto her upper thigh. She stiffened at the touch and her eyes darted around. She soon found Mustardseed with his arm under the table, and realised it was his hand. Her face flushed and she wondered if anyone else had noticed. What should she do? Was this a normal friendly touch, or should she be concerned?
A few moments later, Mustardseed moved his hand off her leg and intertwined his fingers with her own under the table.
Once again, she froze and her face grew even hotter.
He squeezed her hand slightly and scooted his leg to touch her own. Okay, things were getting a bit too close.
She muttered an excuse under her breath and stood up from the table. Quickly, she took large steps outside. Sabrina opened a closet and turned off the light so she couldn't see her own hand.
What. The. Heck. Just. Happened.
Wait… had Mustardseed also been the guard? Oh gosh! He had kissed her! Her hand flew up to her lips. This was all happening to fast, what was going on?
The door cracked open and a figure walked in to the closet, closing the door behind themselves.
"Who are you-"
A pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist and a pair of lips were placed onto hers. She struggled against the grasp and managed to flick the light on.
The figure was shown. It was Puck.
She broke away and gasped. "What the heck?"
Puck widened his eyes and pulled away. "Sabrina turn off that-"
Sabrina burst with anger and she growled. "You little- arg!"
She kicked him between the legs and stormed off into her room. Shutting the door with as much force as she could muster, she flung herself onto the bed. What was happening?
(A/N) Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Omg guys 20 reviews in just three chapters? You guys are amazing :o
Another squeeeeeeeee! THE CONFUSION! Honestly, I thought it was about time Sabrina hit one of them. Who better than the stupid annoying King Puck? Leave in a review if you think she should talk to Puck or Mustardseed in the next chapter :)
