Curse of the Russian Doll Part 2) *September 10th, 1918*

*9:55pm*

Danka was looking at the mirror as she observed Kaede's body which was in her control now as she let out a smirk in the process.

"This body is very gorgeous and I love it ever so much but the only way for me to stay in this body is to wait 24 hours but I don't mind the waiting but as for you my little pretty. I hope you enjoy being a doll forever" Danka said as she smiled and gave the doll in which Kaede is trapped in a kiss on the forehead.

"Y-You w-won't g-get…" Kaede thought to herself as she could do nothing but stare at Danka in terror and fear.

"Oh by the way, My kiss is simply to make you unable to move unless someone moves you from the table so I'm afraid there's nothing you can't do" Danka said as she turned towards the bedroom area and walked towards the room before stopping and looking at Kaede once more.

"Sweet Dreams!" Danka said as she waved before shutting the door on Kaede as Danka jumped on the bed and faced towards the ceiling while taking deep breaths in the process.

"The cold air feels quite amazing. It's been such a long time since I felt something like this but anywho that Kaede girl's friends seem to be nice people and I can't wait to feel embraced by them…" Danka quietly said to herself as she observed Kaede's hand which was now under her control as she heard a knock on the door.

"W-Who is it?!" Danka cried out in a startled tone of voice as she jolted up from the bed and turned her direction towards the door.

"It's only me Kaede and is everything okay?" The Peddler said in a slightly concerned voice.

"Um...yeah! I'm fine" Danka said as she hoped that he would just leave her alone.

"Are you sure? I heard laughter and It didn't sound normal to me?" The Peddler pressed on as his words and mere presence became annoying towards Danka.

"I'm fine, I'm just heading to bed right now okay?" Danka answered back in a passive aggressive tone of voice as she layed back down and stared at the ceiling while The Peddler was surprised at the tone of voice that he heard.

"Okay and have a wonderful night" The Peddler said as he walked away from the room and passed the doll as unknown to him it was residing Kaede inside.

"Danka looks pretty cute and Samara sure has good taste in dolls" The Peddler said as he walked towards the room in which he was staying as unknown to him the doll had Kaede trapped inside it.

"Good, he's finally going to bed" Danka whispered to herself as she closed her door and quickly laid down on the bed.

"Tomorrow should be quite eventful!" Danka whispered to herself as she yawed and rested for the rest of the night.

*The next morning*

*September 11th, 1918*

*10:20am*

The morning sun shined on Danka's face as she had risen up from her slumber.

"Midnight! Just gotta wait until midnight before Kaede's body is mine forever!" Danka said to herself as she fully got up from her bed and proceeded to get herself ready for the day by taking a quick shower and freshening herself up.

"Kaede sure has a nice body and it's such a shame as well" Danka said as she looked down at her host's body before grabbing a towel to cover herself up as she heard a knock on the door in which startled her.

"Miss Kaede? Is anything okay?" The Butler asked as Danka turned her direction towards the door.

"Yes. I'm okay" Danka answered back while drying herself up before getting dressed once more.

"Okay and breakfast will be ready quite shortly" The Butler said as he turned around and walked away.

"Time to meet everyone else" Danka said to herself as she left the bathroom and walked past the doll in which Kaede is trapped in as Danka stopped in her tracks and stared at the doll.

"Having fun? Well It's truly a shame that you will be trapped in this body forever!" Danka said as she chuckled before going towards the kitchen area as Kaede who was in the doll's body saw everything.

"I'm trapped! I must find a way to get to Danka before it's too late! Please let me make it in time but how do I even move?" Kaede thought to herself as she could do nothing but stare at the walls of the mansion.

"So Miss Kaede, how are your parents doing eh?" Sir Albert asked as he took a bite from his sausage as he stared at her while unknown to everyone else that it was Danka.

"My parents? OH! Um..they are doing quite well I guess?" Danka answered as The Peddler noticed the sweat on her face.

"Anything okay? You seem quite nervous Kaede" The Peddler asked with a worried look on his face as he took a sip from his cup.

"I-I'm doing g-good! Just a little hot from my shower that's all!" Danka answered in a slightly nervous tone.

"It is quite hot these days so I surely understand her pain" Madam Antoinette said to Sir Albert as the couple chuckled as they heard footsteps coming towards their direction.

"Good Morning my dear daughter and how did you sleep?" Sir Albert asked with a smile as he looked at the doll in which she was holding as well.

"Good Morning everyone and I've slept quite well," Samara answered as she walked over to the table and proceeded to sit down as The Butler gave her breakfast.

"Thank You" Samara said with a smile as she proceeded to eat her meal.

"Hey that's the little Danka doll right? She's cute as a button!" The Peddler asked with a smile as he looked at the doll.

"Danka sure is cute and isn't that right Miss Kaede?" Samara said to her with a smile.

"Why most definitely! I'm sure Danka loves all the praise and love that we're giving her" Danka said with a smile as she stared at the doll while hiding a sneaky smile.

"Just you wait Danka! I will return to my body before you know it!" Kaede thought to herself as everyone else proceeded to talk throughout the morning.

*2:00pm*

Four hours had passed as Danka and The Peddler were taking a walk around the mansion within the garden area.

"So um...can I ask you a question?" Danka asked as the pair was walking across the garden.

"Sure thing Kaede" The Peddler asked with a smile. "Why do you think Ka-I mean I'm a good person?" Danka asked as she checked herself so she won't be exposed while looking down.

"Very good question! And It's because you are light itself and you always vow to protect your friends no matter the odds and even you are risking your life to obtain the Legendary Phoenix Sword so in other words you are very wonderful" The Peddler replied with a smile as his answer shook Danka.

"So Kaede is this saint-like person? I truly want to feel the same warmth that Kaede is feeling so this gives me even more reasons to steal her body" Danka thought to herself as she turned over to The Peddler.

"Thank you so much" Danka finally spoke with a smile as she gave him a side hug in the process.

*11:30pm*

Many hours had passed as Danka was getting ready for her plans to fully come into light.

"Only 30 more minutes before I fully take over this body! I can finally feel love once more!" Danka said to herself with a smile as she walked around the room and saw the moon in the sky.

"So beautiful…" Danka thought to herself as she heard a thud on the door.

"Um...who's there?" Danka asked as she walked across the room towards the door and opened it.

"Strange. nobody is here" Danka said as she looked down and saw the doll right in front of her.

"Well Well! If it isn't Kaede! Well you are almost too late and just under 20 or so minutes I will take over your body and feel true love in my life…" Danka said to herself as she heard a small objection from Kaede.

"What was that?" Danka said with a smile as she walked over towards the doll.

"Danka! Please return me back into my body and I know that you are lonely in a way but please know that Samara loves you so much!" Kaede pleaded to Danka as her words meant nothing to her as Danka turned around.

"You don't understand Kaede. I'm a doll and I know that Samara loves me very much but anything could happen to me and I just don't wanna lose that love so that's why I must have your body so I can experience that love from your friends" Danka explained in a sad tone as she looked down.

"Danka! That's life and always cherish what you have in the present but always remember that Samara loves you so much so please return things to how they were okay?" Kaede said as it seems her words struck Danka.

"You're right. Maybe all I wanted was to be loved by many people and I now understand that Samara and her family truly loved me" Danka said as she began to smile and shed tears as a small light illuminated the room.

"What's going on?" Danka asked as she stared at Kaede who appeared to have returned into her original body.

"Did anyone tell you that you were beautiful?" Kaede said as she blushed at seeing Danka.

"T-Thank you Kaede and I'm sorry for causing you trouble but please cherish your friends as well!" Danka said as she smiled at Kaede.

"I will!" Kaede said with a smile as the light eventually died down before things turned back into normal.

"Glad to be back in my body but I'm sure that Danka will always remember my words" Kaede said with a smile as she hugged the doll as the moon shined brightly on Kaede and the doll.

*September 12th, 1918*

Kaede and the Peddler were at the front door to bid farewell to the family.

"It's been wonderful having the both of you stay at our place and we dearly hope we see you both again" Sir Albert said with a smile.

"He's right and the both of you are always welcome to our home" Madam Antoinette added on as well.

"Thank you so much for everything and Goodbye everyone!" Kaede said in joy as she noticed Samara waving goodbye to Kaede and the Peddler while waving the doll's arm as well.

"Bye Samara! Bye Danka!" Kaede cried out as she waved her arms.

"Goodbye everyone and thank you for everything" The Peddler said as both Kaede and The Peddler bid farewell and began to resume their journey to achieve the Phoenix Sword.
