A Dire Situation
Disclaimer: Not Mine
Note: So sorry about the massive delay
"Miss Scarlett, what in the world is you going on about?"
Scarlett looked up, tears blurring her vision and a bewildered look upon her face. Mammy didn't know? Relif flooded Scarlett and a smile crept upon her face. She Scarlett could lie her way out of anything, all she needed to do now was come up with a plausible lie, smile sweetly, and Mammy will forget everything that had taken place.
Apparently Mammy saw things differently. "Miss Scarlett, I knows you up to something, don't think you can hide it from me. Yous in mighty hot water I can tell. Don't you think you can lie to ol' Mammy now. I knows you better than anyone. Now stop grinning like a chesire cat and you tells me the truth. And don't bother trying to makes it sound pretty, cos I knows if it involves that Butler character it aint gonna be pretty."
Blowen away by Mammy's brutal honesty and complete conception of the situation, the once strong, hard as nails Miss O'Hara burst into a fresh flood of tears. Mammy's glare refused to soften at this display of emotions however. She had changed modes. She was now a bloodhound, and she wouldn't relent till she knew what it was she wanted to know.

AT BELLE'S
Belle was sitting in her study alone. This was her time to think, and tonight of all nights she certainly had things on her mind. Scarlett O'Hara. The things she had heard about this woman were truely fascinating. Rhett ratteled on about her like a mad-man. He wouldn't stop unless Belle silenced him. His obbsession with her was evident.
However the feelings Scarlett held still puzzeled Belle slightly. She looked positivly petrified when Belle mentioned Rhett. She was perhaps, even more frightened of him discovering their new arrangment than the rest of Atlanta's polite social circle. A thought belle found both puzzling and exciting.
A challenge was something Belle could never resist. And discovering the secret key to Scarletts complicated mind, which Belle was almost certain would contain only the same amount if not less lady-like thoughts than her own, would be a devilishly fun project for the duration of their new found proffesional relationship.
But what excited Belle most was the realisation that in the millisecond in which Scarlett reacted to Rhett's name Belle won the upper hand. Scarleet didn't know it yet. She hadn't seen her own face. But the look of pure tourtuerous feelings that played over her visage at the utterence of 'Rhett' gave Belle power beyond means. Blackmail and deciet were her strong points. But she wouldn't use them just yet. Rhett was in jail after all. Where was the fun in that? She was also genuinly looking forward to working with Scarlett and she couldn't wait to see how she handled letting loose her virginal image, and the clients she would recieve. For Belle wanted to test Scarlett more than anything, she only hoped the poor girl would pass.
Sooner or later things will unfold Belle thought. That she added aloud was something worth waiting for.

Scarlett stammered and spluttered. She knew she had to say something soon. In her head a thousand words were reeling. But nothing escaped her lips. Mammy became more murderous looking as each eternity long moment passed. Scarlett thought of everything she'd loose of Mammy found out. The money for Tara. And something else too. Something she couldn't put her finger on. But whatever it was she didn't wish to loose that either. Plan after brilliant plan formed in Scarlett's head. But then suddnely it cleared. Why should she explain herself. It was like Belle said. The more she tried to explain the guiltier she sounded.
"It was nothing Mammy." she said in a voice so unlike her own. "I was just upset over nothing. Silly really. I suppose it has been coming for a while now."
Scarlett was astounded with herself. Clearly Mammy was too. She stood gobsmacked for a moment.
Scarlett was completely calm. She had no idea what had come over her. It was like she was someone else, someone stronger, more powerful.
Her face was so convincing Mammy dind't know what to think. She wasn't completly assured but still she said.
"Okays Miss Scarlett. I' ll believes you now. But if you wants to tell me yous can.Any time" she added as an after thought.
She plodded out the room leaving Scarlett to her thoughts.
She'd taken Belles advice and she had gotten what she had wanted. It deffinatly was not like Mammy to jump off her case so quickly.But her tone. it was so different. Scarlett couldn't describe what had happened. But now her path was clear.
And tomorrow she would have fittings for beautiful dresses. Things were deffinatly looking up.
