Chapter 10:
Titania looked up as the lock clicked, and the door swung open. It was the woman again.
"Come on love, it's time to get you all prettied up."
Titania was confused as to the occasion but she obeyed. She still remembered what the bad man had said. She walked over to the dresser and let the woman wash her. She watched as the woman picked up the red dress, and she obediently raised her arms so that the woman could pull the dress over her head. She waited patiently while the woman found all the paints in the drawer, and made her face up perfectly and she stood still when the lady tied a ribbon into her hair.
"There." The woman said, satisfied. "You have the face of an angel, my love."
Titania did not say anything, afraid that her tears would spill if she opened her mouth. The woman must have noticed because her face softened and she put her arms around the frightened girl.
"There now pet, don't be afraid. You will be safe here, I promise. Just do as the Master says. Come now love, my name is Ruth, but you can call me Hen, everyone here does. If you need anything, you let me know, all right Sweet? I'm here to take care of you." Titania nodded, and Ruth pulled her into a hug.
"I must go now my love, but I will bring you your dinner later on. Be brave now." Ruth touched Titania's face lightly, picked up her skirts and quickly scuttled out of the room. Titania stood still, and looked at herself in the mirror.
