Elsa's eyebrows scrunched up in confusion at Anna's irritated expression until she turned to see how things looked in Anna's perspective...not good.
Elsa sighed and turned to her sister.
X
Abrielle had shifted and began circling the redhead taking in her scent concluding that this female was somehow related to Elsa.
Abrielle was taken back by the fact that she felt no fear or nervousness resonating off of the girl unlike most who first encountered her. Even Elsa when they first met showed fear.
Abrielle continued her investigation.
X
Anna glanced down at Abrielle who was curiously probbing her body and scent for information about herself.
Anna didn't mind, not when she had a big sister to chew out.
"Anna I know this looks bad especially on my part bu-" Elsa started but was instantly interrupted by her sister.
"This doesn't look bad Elsa this is bad. Even though I don't know her I won't tolerate you using this Feral as if she is your personal toy of entertainment." Although the accusation was accurate it still hurt and it was evident on Elsa's face, at this sight Anna softened.
"Look Elsa I didn't mean it like that and I know she is a Feral and all but there has be some type of line drawn of what is acceptable and what isn't." Anna explained.
Elsa looked vulnerable as she wrapped her arms around her torso as if she need physically contact at that moment and could only receive it from herself.
"Anna I wasn't doing what you thought I was doing. It only looked that way. I'm not going to use Abrielle in the wrong way if that is what you think.. I just... I don't know I'm looking for something that...maybe...maybe I'm not meant to have." Elsa turned around facing the curtain drawn window.
Anna walked towards her sister while Abrielle decided to sit haunches and wait.
Anna hugged the blonde from behind and kissed her shoulder. "Hey it's alright. I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions instead of asking you...how's it been Elsa?" she asked quietly.
"Bad." Elsa knew there was no point in lying. "Not as bad as it's been before but I'll manage."
"I could take a few more days off to be with you if you'd like." Elsa heard her offer but shook her head no. She couldn't jeopardize her baby sister's education because of her pathetic problems.
"No no I'll be okay."they separated when Anna finally turned her attention towards Abrielle.
"So you're the one that made my sister fuss so much." she chuckled.
Abrielle couldn't hold back a yawn that escaped.
"Well I wouldn't say fuss.." Elsa trailed off but stopped when Anna have her a disbelieving look.
"Anna Dronning nice to meet you." Abrielle gasped inwardly as Anna offered her hand in a polite but friendly greeting.
She liked the feeling that was crawling its way to her chest. The feeling of being treated as an equal.
Abrielle put her large fluffy paw in Anna's grasp as the redhead shook it.
"Welp come on you two." Anna called exiting out the door.
Abrielle waited respectivly for her master to go through the door first then followed behind.
She halted as they headed down the hall. The scent of many Ferals assaulted her nose.
Abrielle closed her eyes trying to calm her mind but when she opened them she was in a dream like version of the colosseum.
She looked around and saw the young fawn running to figures. One was a woman who opened her arms and the other was a buck who nuzzled him affectionately. That is where he belonged.
A tiger came and began stalking the trio. Anger filled Abrielle. How dare he!?
The fur on her back began raising as her claws sharpened themselves unto the ground.
"Abrielle?" Her vision cleared and it was only Elsa who was looking at her concerned. "It's okay Abrielle no one is going to hurt you here...I promise."
Abrielle shifted getting better control over herself.
They walked passed one of the living rooms exiting a sliding glass back door to a large, deep, wooden brown deck. Abrielle took notice of the vast green meadows that lay before them. It was impressive that Elsa possessed so much territory.
She walked to the wooden railing when a flash of white and brown zoomed by.
A beautiful white stallion raced with a lumpy, less gracefull reindeer. The speed differences were noticeable but the reindeer still was able to keep up somewhat.
Abrielle nearly jumped out of skin hissing when she felt tiny arms wrap around her waist.
She looked down to notice a goofy but cute looking boy hugging her.
It was an awkward position due to the heights of the two Ferals. The little boy's attempt to hug her from behind pressed his cheek against her...other cheek.
He finally looked up and she saw the warmest brown eyes that relaxed her nerves. "Sup, the name's Olaf. I dig hugs." his crinkly voice matched his buck-toothed smile.
X
"Abrielle." Elsa shivered at the timbre smooth voice that came from Abrielle's face.
Her friends looked both intriuged and a little frightened by the exchange.
X
A teen with brown hair and a handsom face was the first to crowd her. "Oh my God I am offically your biggest fan."he fawned if his eyes got any bigger Elsa could have sworn he'd turn into an anime cartoon.
"I worship you and your fighting style." He bowed slightly only making Abrielle lean away giving Elsa a questioning eyebrow.
Rapunzel answered instead. " I'm Rapunzel. This is my boyfriend dash stalker Eugene. You can just ignore him...we all do."
Abrielle nodded towards her. "Noted." She then noticed a boy with green hair narrowing his eyes at her sizing her up.
Her natural reaction was to size him up as well. This caused him to peep back behind Rapunzel's leg.
"The cautious yet oh so charming chemeloen is Pascal." Anna introduced.
"And that beautiful stallion out there is Maximus my Feral." Eugene chimed with a hint of pride then added. "And the frumpy looking mop, Sven, belongs to that other frumpy looking mop." Abrielle looked to the huge bulbus blonde who got up from his chair and shook her unoffered hand. Shaking hands would take some getting used to.
"Hi, Kristoff aka frumpy looking mop." Anna giggled when a large strikingly handsom man brought a tray with drinks.
"Good man Marshmellow." Eugene cheered making the man growl dangerously, only Anna and Olaf could call him that. This put Abrielle on alert. She postered herself aggressivly towards him.
She and this "Marshmallow" made eye contact both now growling.
Abrielle shifted causing the newly met group to back up all except Anna who was grabbed by the collar by Kristoff. She hissed pulling her ears up along with her head and tail.
It was a dominate posture she kept hissing loudly making as much noise as was possible.
X
This wasn't good.
Sven and Max came over stepping up onto the deck, angling themselves protectivly in front of their Masters and friends.
Elsa knew she would have to intervene before someone was hurt.
"Marcello! Abrielle! Enough!" she commanded using an authoritative voice. Marcello immediately listened to his master Abrielle not so much. She was still targeting the man.
"Abrielle...stop it." Elsa voice went low in warning.
Abrielle still ignored her master. Elsa noticed how her pupils were mere slits now.
X
When Abrielle blinked she was back in the colosseum at the other end of the ring was "Marshmallow" backing down.
She was relying on instinct and aggression that was beaten into her since she could walk.
She remebered the hot night she was brought by Hades as a cub.
Small, wobbly, her vision just starting to come to. All she knew was that she was away from the warm comforting scent and smooth skin and fur of which she concluded belonged to her mother.
The first thing she saw was the colosseum then hell began.
X
Abrielle ignored the awful pain in her arm and pounced then was upon a newly shifted white bear.
Marcello could have used his size but he was lack the training, prescion, and skills all of which Abrielle nearly mastered.
She continually bit at his shoulders until she managed to get the bear on his back.
Abrielle growled letting him know she was in charge.
X
Rapunzel rushed to her bag and pulled out the teaser like device her mother gave her but she never needed nor used.
It had a different level of how powerful a shock it gave off.
She snuck over and handed it to Elsa.
Elsa looked down and hesitated to use it. But for her beloved friend she knew she had to.
She turned the volume up and aimed for Abrielle. Then pulled the trigger button.
X
The shock.
Abrielle recongnized it all too well when she wouldn't behave her handlers and trainers used it.
Her senses came back to her and she jumped off of Mercello. The shock continued and she wondered why then looked to Elsa...oh.
She saw the fear in all their eyes... Except Anna's who showed concern and worry.
It was the fear in Elsa's eyes that reminded her of what she was...a monster. A killer who's thirst and bloodlust could never be hydrated.
Elsa wanted her out that's why she wasn't stopping.
Abrielle's view became hazed then dark.
X
Elsa stood above the now shifted girl wondering what she had done.
"Marc you okay?" she asked the bear who stumbled up but shook off his attack and nodded.
Then she turned to her sister who had a "I told you so look". "You guys just carry on I'll be right back." She went to lift Abrielle but then remembered she skipped to many gym days. She signaled to Marcello to help her but he hesitated then complied.
Anna followed her sister who took Abrielle up to her room.
"Elsa I warned you!" the redhead hissed. "Anna not now." Elsa waved her off.
"No now. Elsa you have keep a secure hold on her."
Elsa sighed and sat on her bed. "And how do you suppose I do that?" Elsa's voice became agitated.
"Put a control collar on her." Elsa shook her head.
"You were the one who said I shouldn't treat her this way that I should respect her."
"That was before I knew she would attack without reason. Elsa we have a family to protect and I think keeping Abrielle around without her having restraint is a risk to everyone's safety." Anna pleaded. "Look Elsa I'm not blaming her or anything because it's what she was raised to do but she's had a hard life Els."
As much as Elsa didn't want to admit it she knew Anna was right.
Anna and Marcello went back to their friends.
Elsa sighed looking at Abrielle's unconscious form.
Elsa turned to call out for her maid but then jumped when she noticed a fox sitting beside her with a little mouse atop its head.
When they both shifted.
Cinderella was sitting on Hans' lap.
Elsa raised an eyebrow at their percarious position but her maid just shrugged.
"I'm going to need you to make dinner tonight. I may or may not be able to attend."
Hans looked to Abrielle with pity. He knew what she did and knew she had to be punished hence the way they were raised. Cinderella nodded then left the room with Hans on her trail like a love sick puppy.
Elsa sighed again and looked Abrielle. Even in her sleep she looked troubled.
Elsa went to the back garden shed to retrieve an old control collar. When she returned, Elsa was surpised to see Abrielle awake sitting on the edge of the bed waiting patiently.
"Umm hi.."Elsa greeted lamely the hand holding the control collar going limp by her side.
"Hello Master." it was a formal greeting.
Elsa set the remote to the collar on the stand next to the door and aproached slowly standing before Abrielle. The Feral offered her neck to the old collar.
Elsa regretfully put it on. "Abrielle I'm sorry but I have to do this."
"I should and am the one who is sorry master. I beg for your forgiveness. I disobeyed you today and I'm ashamed." dispite the robotic tone of the apology Abrielle truly did sound ashamed.
X
Abrielle felt so stupid and lowly.
Usually she felt pride and smug when she deffied her master but now she felt shameful.
Not even four hours ago had she promised to obey Elsa and do right by her.
Abrielle knew there would be consequences. So she offered her neck, wanted even to wear the collar.
Then Elsa had the nerve to apologize, as if Abrielle's insolence was her own. She wasn't even going to use the collar.
Abrielle had to make Elsa know that this was her fault and her's alone.
After a thick silence Abrielle needed to be alone in order to create a self purgatory for herself.
"May I be excused Master?" Elsa nodded and Abrielle bowed then left through the door but not before she sneakily snatched the remote. While she was making her way down the hallway she heard laughter coming from downstairs, a foreign longing came over her to go downstairs but she shook it off. Strange.
Abrielle entered her now dark room equally dark thoughts entered her head as she remembered life at the colosseum.
In her mind punishment was nessecary..required. A sweat broke out. The Feral suddenly became aware of every drop sliding against her skin. They felt like needles.
Pangs filled her gut. Her mindset already programmed her body to prepare for pain. But it never came making her uncomfortable.
She sat in the corner and switched on her new accessory. A low hum began to drone out from her ears.
She looked at the remote and felt the buttons. She set the level. Masochism filled her mind fueled by a want for justice.
Wrong doings should never go unpunished.
Even her own.
X
Elsa sighed then went to her study. If she was going to have Abrielle live in her household then she needed to know more about her.
Elsa sat on the dark red lather couch, turned on her pad and went on the internet.
She researched Abrielle's fights and shows.
Abrielle had an agression problem which needed to be solved fast. The girl always felt the need to display dominance, be the biggest and most violent less she die.
Elsa ran her hands over her face. This would be a hard problem to fix.
After a half hour of research Elsa closed off her pad and exited the study.
Dinner should be ready and she wanted Abrielle to attend. Orginally she was going to have dinner brought to the leopard but that wouldn't help Abrielle's behavioral problem.
Elsa went to the Abrielle's room and knocked. When no answer was received Elsa opened the door.
Abrielle was sitting up against the wall body stiffened and shaking as if she had chills.
Elsa gasped and rushed to her side. The Feral was clutching the remote in a shivering vice grip.
When Elsa touched her Abrielle jumped a little.
"Shh shh. It's alright. It's just me okay." Elsa whispered.
Based on her own experience Elsa knew Abrielle was suffering. She had gone through this as well just differently.
Abrielle's eyes widened as Elsa slowly pulled her head towards her shoulder.
Abrielle inhaled coconuts again from her master's scent. It soothed her.
They stayed like that for a couple of minuets until Elsa managed to remove the remote from Abrielle's clutched hand. Elsa tucked it in her pocket.
They first went to the study where Elsa had put the remote in a locked cabinet. Afterwards she led Abrielle out of the studt to the stairway. The blonde received a aprehensive look from the girl and returned it with a determined gaze. Abrielle may not have had confidence in herself but Elsa did.
She and Abrielle finally made it downstairs to the dinning room.
Anna along with her friends eyed the retired Bestiarius eerily especially Marcello who pulled his little brother Olaf closer to him.
Abrielle monitored every move she made to make sure she didn't frighten anyone.
Elsa sat at the head with Abrielle on her left so she was faceing Anna.
Conversation started again easing the tension in the air.
Cinderella made Abrielle's plate and gave it to her. Roast pork, patatoes and seered asparegus with gravy.
Turned out Hans was quiet the chief and he couldn't help but show off his skills to the maid.
"Thank you." the Feral sounded softly. The gratitude made the mouse smile and pinch Abrielle's cheek just the way she knew she liked.
Elsa smiled at the exchange and ate her dinner.
"Oh Abrielle, for dessert we're having sundeas. Please tell me you've had a sundea before." Elsa attempted to add the very reserved girl into the conversation.
"No master I haven't." her voice remained soft unthreatning.
A clash of silverware caught everyone's attention.
"You've never had a sundae?!" Olaf exclaimed with disbelief.
"Olaf don't shout." Anna warned.
When time came for dessert Elsa watched Abrielle's reaction closely.
She bit into the confection and moaned lightly at the creamy taste. Elsa smiled glad she could wittness Abrielle's first experience.
Dinner ended and when everyone sat in the lounge to play games Abrielle shifted and practically crawled upstairs. Elsa frowned and followed after her.
X
When Abrielle entered her room Hans once again was nowhere to be found. She sighed sadly accepting her only companion.
Loneliness.
Closing the door with her paw she jumped onto the bed curling up to go to sleep.
She shifted when a knock was heard.
Abrielle got up and opened the barrier to see her master Elsa standing nervously.
"I uh.. Well I wanted...you." Abrielle found Elsa's stammering to be adorable. She found herself endearing the woman.
"Yes master?" She called a little less robotic.
Elsa finally straightend herslf and cleared her throat.
"I want you to accompany me tonight in my room."
X
Elsa's chest collasped in itself when she finally stated the command.
Abrielle blinked then nodded coming out of the doorway.
Elsa led her to her room closing the door.
Abrielle looked around then to her master for the next command.
"Umm. Just wait right here." Elsa went into her closet and changed into dark blue silk pajamas. She came out to see Abrielle in the exact same spot she left her in. Elsa chuckled at this.
Noticing Abrielle was still in her day clothes Elsa said. "Well uh I guess you could barrow something of mine to sleep in." the blonde retrieved a t-shirt and shorts handed them to Abrielle then turned around while she changed.
The temptation to turn around and peep without consequence hung over Elsa yet she remained vigilant.
When she did turn around Abrielle looked alot more casual then Elsa had ever seen her. Elsa's eyes roamed over Abrielle's legs and thighs making her lock her lips. They looked more beautiful than sculpted pillars of a Roman temple. Maybe sharing a bed wasn't a good idea.
Elsa resolved herself. She could control her urges..maybe.
"Well time for sleeping." Elsa went to her large bed and got comfortable while Abrielle found a nice chair to rest in.
"Ahem." Abrielle looked up at the noise and saw Elsa waving her over. Abrielle approached slowly not used to the situation she found herself in.
She sat on the edge making Elsa groan quietly.
"Abrielle..up here." she instructed pulling back the blanket. Abrielle took a breath and crawled up to the head of the bed getting under the duvet. Elsa sighed glad those Roman beauties were now covered. She then turned off the lights except for the one on her nightstand. she put on glasses and began reading. Abrielle lay facing her loving the way the glasses made her master look.
Elsa knew she was staring but didn't mind.
Suddenly she jolted softly at the feeling of something within her being filled.
Normally when she did her pre bed reading the silnce in the room made her feel emptiness on the inside but with the sounds of Abrielle's breathing both the silence and emptiness felt as if they were being filled.
Elsa smiled looking down at Abrielle who looked back up at her with curious eyes. The Feral looked captivating at that moment.
Elsa could get used to this.
