The day still had a lot to happen, in the rooms the plan to try to find the girls by the hidden places of Luna Nova was still happening, meanwhile in the hiding place, things were getting kind of stuck, until Ford decided to call Cavendish, going to the cell, to get the Scottish lass, sitting there trying to invent some way to communicate with Amanda and Akko, without them getting shocked, but things were still very complicated, in those first hours there was nothing to do.
With Margaret the platinum haired one was trying to look at some way to think of a plan to escape, looking around Ford's waist, some weak point, but she had nothing, other than the keys, which she was soon thinking of an idea, since she had been temporarily released, albeit wearing a shock collar, until they get kind of close to where the creature was.
" Look at Diana up close, Diana... She looked beautiful with the application of her threads, little by little we'll be able to bring her more the life and her body from before, and right now we're going to make a point of doing that " Benson said.
" What are you going to do to me? It's not enough what we've been going through," said the Scottish woman.
" I'm just going to collect some of your blood, you have the Cavendish genetics I need for the reconstruction of my Diana, even more being a coincidence having that name, your mothers named that because of her didn't they? I have to admit you have good taste, but we all know here that the real one here is her, you're just a Cavendish of the wrong lineage," the Englishwoman said, half arranging her chair and already calling the current Cavendish to sit down.
" And so why do you still use my blood if I am of the wrong bloodline? " Said Diana arching an eyebrow.
" Because in spite of everything you have a trace of the original Diana there " said Margaret, already preparing the needle.
" the original Diana we know is not her and neither am I, they had two others before her, why don't you go after the first Diana Cavendish from the 17th century then? Or the second one from the 18th century? " Said the girl who was being poked in the arm starting to have the blood being drawn.
" They are still from the original lineage, in which case my Diana has all the good stuff from the other Dianas, still from the Cavendish family history," Ford said.
" Diana II dated a Du Nord too, would she have the dirty lineage? I'm a Du Nord descendant, we're all a mix, there's no such thing as an original Diana, just say it, you're only obsessed with my dead great-great-grandmother and want to bring her back to life for your never-realised love," said the blue-eyed one, gradually irritating the green-eyed one.
" You really are insufferable aren't you girl, you're lucky you're at that stage of removing your genetics, now let's see the results here " Benson said taking out the needle with the vials full of Diana's blood.
With that blood, it was being applied to the creature from Luna Nova, that transfusion was happening with that thing kind of unconscious, tied to a chair, with the current Diana looking at everything, kind of feeling sorry for herself.
" Here, eat some, you can't get weak, this will be just one of the many blood transfusions we will do with Diana, until she gets her body all reconstructed and who knows also create a conscience " Said Benson giving a tray full of food to Cavendish.
" For a cruel person you can treat well, but what about my friends? Don't they deserve food too? They are also obliged to help you," said the Scottish lassie, starting to eat.
" They don't matter that much, they will eat whatever they have, in your case you do, besides being the intelligent one of the group, you are also a Cavendish, which will help a lot in the reconstruction of my Diana " said the Englishwoman all amazed looking at the creature.
Diana started eating that plate that was very generous, it was a bowl of beans, that also had potatoes and some meat, the food really wasn't little, the amount given was generous, even more for a hungry girl after having had the blood removed. The creature was getting some better features, the appearance was a little less scary, this time the pale skin, white and cracked, full of apparent wounds, was getting only pale, with the wounds closing as if it was magic, still the "Diana" was still very scary.
" You could give her a less bestial treatment, have you ever stopped to think? If you intend to reconstitute Diana why did you make her live like an animal " Diana said after eating.
" That's where you come in, do you really think I'm going to leave her with the other two? You are smart, the other two are stupid, you are the only one that Diana will not tear alive, so it is your obligation from now on to train her, hope to your friends that they find the words, and free them or else they can suffer a lot here " said Margaret.
" What? But that... You're cruel, Margaret. What if Diana hurts me? Have you ever stopped to think? " Cavendish said.
" She won't, because she was very well trained for that, she doesn't attack any Cavendish, she has your blood above all, just don't do anything foolish, I guarantee you a good housing and everything else, you are the only one of class of the three, so you should know how to educate, do that and you won't suffer," Ford said being very cruel.
The Scottish lass didn't have much choice, so she ended up in a more luxurious room of that dungeon, being locked up, with Diana, who was still wearing some torn cloths, still quite dirty from the interaction, as the Cavendish was getting terrified of being in that environment, even more with the scary snores that the monster was making while she was sleeping.
In the dungeon cell, the transference of the prisoner was being announced, and there were Akko and Amanda trying to talk to each other.
[Margareth: I have news for you two, your colleague Diana, will no longer be with you, she has been transferred to another function, now it is your obligation to find the first word, come on hein, Noctu Orfei Aude Fraetor, try to remember that and use that staff properly, or else you will pay].
" What have you done with Diana! " Akko said half"angrily.
[Margareth: Your friend... Or rather, your girlfriend, since I know your feelings for her, I was neither blind nor deaf, but well, she went to take care of my little creature, if she escapes alive from this care, then it is a sign that she is doing a great job].
" If she dies I swear I'll kill you " said the furious Atsuko.
[Margaret: I don't want her to die so little, she is too precious a slave to die, but don't worry, Diana is no stranger to another Cavendish, they are of the same blood, now take your lunch and in two hours I want to see you speak the first word, or else you will suffer torture].
The two sort of looked at each other with fear, a little bit scared, then they were having the food thrown on the floor that in the case was just some pieces of meat thrown on the floor that they had to be picking up from there and eat with their hands, by hunger they didn't care about being food that was thrown on the floor, they just wanted to satisfy their hunger, at least Ford wasn't so bad at that.
The minutes passed and soon the creature was waking up in the other room of the dungeon, in the middle of all that luxury, still scared a little Diana that was seeing the creature with the eyes even if blue, they were with dark circles under the eyes, which they observed well in the eyes also blue of Cavendish, that was swallowing the saliva, being very afraid of what the monster was doing.
" Please don't kill me... " Said the Scottish lass the closer the 'experience' got to her.
The thing came very close, to the point that the platinum haired girl was already with her eyes closed, and then she ended up in a very strange way receiving a hug, not an attack in specific, but a genuine and affectionate hug, where she opened her eyes relieved, losing her fear.
Until the creature finally lets go of the hug, looking deep into Diana's eyes, kind of sketching an expression of curiosity.
" You must be as scared as I am, aren't you? I don't even know what to do, how am I going to raise a creature like you," said the Scottish lassie with her hand on her chin.
The creature was kind of walking around the place on all fours, trying to sniff around, strange to the new place, but very curious, Cavendish was kind of relieved not to be suffering at the hands of what could tear her apart like it did with one of the girls from Luna Nova.
" Can you speak through signs? Can you understand me? Knock once for no and twice for yes " Said the blue"eyed one trying to communicate with the experiment and the creature knocked twice.
With that was what already opened a range of possibilities, since the one with platinum hair then was starting to try to look for some pen or paper, that way she could get a better communication, managing even to find such object, she was also noticing how the creature had no chain or collar, it could be the girls' chance.
" (I can use this thing to get us out of here, it can attack Margareth for us, we can try to escape from here and then everything will be fine, what a poor creature, to have such a cruel fate like that, it has become a mere science experiment, some human beings are really monsters, she is not a monster, but Margareth).
" Do you like Margareth? " Diana asks on the spot and receives only a single beat.
" Does she do you wrong? " She asks again receiving two beats.
" Can you write? " And with that he got two strikes as well.
Diana shows the notebook to the creature, who takes the pen, but writing was not something she knew for sure, but drawing was, she started to go drawing what was Margareth with an X over it, showing how she didn't like it, then she drew Diana and was with a circle around it.
" I can teach you to write more, but first how about a bath and also changing these clothes? You don't deserve to wear cloths like that " Diana said and she noticed the creature nodding in agreement.
She walked with that thing to the bathroom, where the creature took off its shirt all torn and full of blood, getting into the bathtub, being possible to notice in the naked body of that thing that was very thin, it was in a very deplorable condition, the thin arms, the ribs showing up, what Diana was even getting felt, she was soon going to try to get out, but she was held by the creature.
" Would you like me to come in too? " The Scottish woman asks and gets a nod from the creature.
Even ashamed Cavendish gave in and went into the bathtub helping to wash the creature that was kind of joking a little, even feeling happier there with the presence of someone who was being friendly to her, what Margareth was not liking at all, to the point of appearing on the microphone.
[Margaret: What do you think you are doing? I instruct you to make her create manners and etiquette, like a normal person, not to behave like a child, I heard her say she doesn't like me, you are doing everything wrong, prepare to be punished].
" Margareth! I'm getting Diana's trust, I want to build something here! How do you want her to be... Whatever you say if you want to make a robot, my great"great"grandmother wasn't like that! Look at her body! That girl doesn't eat right! She's skeletal! You want Diana, but you do nothing for her, is that love? " said Diana.
[Margaret: Quiet! I will come and get you in this room and bring you the punishment, you crossed the line!]
At this time Margaret activates the shock of the collar that causes the creature to jump out of the bathtub so as not to get shocked while Diana went on suffering a little, until everything passes and with that the experiment sort of seeing that the shock passed, holds the Cavendish in her arms, taking her to the outside.
" No need, I'm fine, now come with me, we'll give you a much nicer outfit " Said Diana who was leading the creature through the dungeon place, trying to find a wardrobe and through there she found some clothes.
Diana put on trousers and a t"shirt, and the creature put on a dress and then was taken to a place that looked like a kitchen, where from there she was devouring the things that came in front of her.
" Take it easy Diana... You'll end up destroying everything, I'll prepare something for you " Said the Scottish lass with a smile on her face and went to the one that calmed the monster.
It was where Diana went from there to start making pancakes, while Margaret had not yet gone to the room of the two, she was taking advantage of the moment to give a better experience to the creature, heating the food, also adding some meat, which this time was not human at least, which was giving a very nice appearance with the ground meat pancakes with cheese and ham that were made.
" Look I'm not such a good cook, but you can eat as much as you like, they're all yours " said Diana handing the plate to the creature who took it in her hand, and then took it away in fear.
" So look " Diana said showing with a fork and knife and then blowing the food.
The creature was having a quick reasoning, trying to catch the food with the fork, even if everything was destroyed, it was loving to eat each piece, Diana was observing that with a smile on her face, conquering little by little the trust of that experiment, and with that she was even thinking of some way to communicate with it better, but everything ended when Margaret appeared in the room of the dungeon where the two were.
" You, come with me, you stay still! You behave yourself! I'll take her," Margareth said, going to take Diana by the arm but immediately felt the creature's hand stopping her.
" She doesn't want you to take it from her, Margareth do you want to win Diana over as you still act like a selfish lass? " Cavendish said.
" Get out of the way you freak, thank me you're alive! Be obedient and go to your corner, or I'll lock you in the rat dungeon again! " Said Ford intimidating the creature that understood very well what was said releasing Benson's arm.
" Why are you like this Margareth? Diana only wanted a friend, she only needs affection, she is not your pet, she is a person, can you imagine how much she went through all those years of suffering? What kind of human being are you? " said Diana.
" I am the human being who is intelligent that brought a human being back to life, now, come with me, you will learn now that you will have to be an obedient girl " Said the brown haired one taking Diana by the arm.
The two walked to where what looked like Margareth's place was, since the luxury was quite evident and then she was closing the door, Diana was kind of getting confused for being there, not knowing what was going to happen, but then she noticed when she saw Ford's dressing gown coming down, trying to take a few steps back.
" Don't try to escape or the pain will be worse, now you will know what it is to have your dignity attacked, not only that, but I make a point of letting your colleagues see everything " said Ford who soon pressed a button on the control where a screen was showing everything from the two girls' cell.
" Help me! Help me! Get out of here! I won't give in even if you electrocute me to death! " Diana said trying to run from there, where she was then given a few shocks.
The girls were watching in horror, even more Akko, seeing that Diana was about to be attacked like that and there was nothing she could do, just watch that act through the screen, trying by all means to get rid of the chains, but also forcing magic, which would end up electrocuting her as well.
" Akko! Don't push too hard, you'll die! " Amanda said.
" I don't care! I want to save Diana! " Said Atsuko who kept trying, kept trying, but ended up just passing out from the intensity of the shocks.
" Shit... That fucking Margaret is going to rape Diana... Akko is passed out and I'm here like a useless helpless prisoner helpless to do anything... Why did I have to be so stupid as to listen to what that fake Nelson had to say, I should have trusted Chariot and Croix more, now this horrible scene... We have to get out of here," Amanda complained, getting a bit crestfallen.
Things were becoming very tense, since Margaret was stealing more of Diana's personal space, who was trying to escape and avoid the attacks, even using a little magic, but nothing worked out, things were still the same, Margaret's terror was very evident.
The creature of Luna Nova, in the end was just a person who had been created by means of magic, very distant from what once was the original Diana III, since she had no conscience, just being a creature with fears, who starved and had to survive, based on the fear and imposition that was made by Margaret Ford and her cruelties.
See you, creature witches...
