Chapter 4: Medizinfrau
00000
As I stared into his crimson eyes, I knew he was quite startled and perturbed. I grinned as I watched his eyes roam Blue-Eyes' naked body, and I giggled when his brows knitted together.
I would surely get punished later for rebelling against his orders, but secretly I was very proud of my defiance against my master. He deserved it for being so mean to me all the time, but I truly did it for my own gain: a pretty blonde-haired and blue-eyed doll. Who wouldn't want one?
I stared at the back of my pet's head as my hands continued to braid his platinum locks. A small smile still graced my lips from the grin I gave Meanie-Head, and I wondered what he was thinking at the moment. Probably the many torturing methods he would use on me for defying his orders. Ah, well. At least I had a little fun beforehand.
A long, dreadful silence settled on us like a toxic mist, and the only sound that was heard was the movement of my hands and the slow, steady breathing of my pet and master. It was so quiet that my heartbeat drummed in my ears; it was as if I could hear every last vessel being pumped full of scarlet rivers. I let out a giggle just to break the awkward silence. The small noise seemed to bellow across the bizarre room, and I let my pet lean back into my chest as I hugged him tight, for I realized I may not be able to keep him now. His warmth made me giddy inside, and I kissed the area just underneath his ear. I got no response from him.
I was still smiling, but I was scared on the inside. Oh, what would Master do to me? I was starting to think that Blue-Eyes wasn't worth all the pain to come, and confused at how I could change my judgment so quickly on him.
My lips stayed parted as cold breath was released from my mouth. My master let out a small, almost inaudible growl, and I hugged my pet closer to me as I frowned. I thought of things to say, but my mind was completely blank, and my dark lips made no noise.
I stared up at my master and recognized the look of hatred in his eyes, along with something else that I couldn't recognize. He was blinking a lot, and I felt as if his mind was blank as well. I don't blame him, though; my mind would probably be blank too if I were in his position.
"Pet…"
A shiver went up my spine as his cold, deep, and malicious voice entered my ears. He was dangerously calm, and that scared me even more.
"…yes?" I meekly answered, knowing full well that my small reply wasn't truly needed.
"What…by the Goddesses…do you think you're doing?"
I remained silent and began rubbing my pet's arms as I stared at my master's eccentric and gaudy boots. Once again, I knew an answer wasn't needed. He didn't expect one, either, and all that was said after that was a loud, mean growl that emitted from Meanie-Head's throat.
I started rocking with my pet and stared at the dirt at my side, I was positively terrified, and he knew it.
However, I was quite surprised at what he had decided. And even more surprised at his relinquished kindness.

I have thought of flaws, flaws for everything that I know of. Snow, the pure white wolfos that belongs to my master, does, indeed, have a single black hair. Ruhe, a rare, albino zora that also belongs to my master, has a disease where he can't breathe underwater. Fancy that. And a fairy queen that I caught many a year ago is starting to look old. I hate old, withering things. I might sell her later. Ah, designs on the most expensive of tapestries are flawed, pillows most definitely do NOT stay soft, no matter what Master says, and-oh…Yes…Pets do, indeed, need to be fed and taken care of in order to survive. Thus the word "bothersome" comes to mind. And that's exactly what Blue-Eyes is being.
It's been three weeks since Master had found me and Blue-Eyes in that morbid, dank room, (nearly a month!) and it was still quite difficult to get my doll to eat or drink. I merely shoved things down his throat, and at first I didn't really care, but now he was starting to sweat a lot, and his skin started breaking out. I was inquired to see what I should do about him, since something so valuable shouldn't be lost for a stupid reason. I asked Master, but he hadn't said anything, and neither did Ruhe. He lived up to his name. I didn't want to resort to asking all the lower demons and monsters that lived towards the bottom of the castle, but it ended up happening anyway. They decided to send out a slave and escort to retrieve food from Kokariko village just for my request, since food from the castle wasn't really fit for humans. Well, at least not for Blue-Eyes' standards, lowly slaves merely got stale bread and a glass of warm water. When the slave and escort finally got back I was handed some food for my pet, and was told to find Medizinfrau. Apparently she resided in one of the old, forgotten dungeons that are falling apart.
She turned out to be an ancient, maniacal, voodoo-alchemical, necromancy-witch that's obsessed with pale things with red eyes; isn't that lovely? I can't imagine her meeting Ruhe. He'd be too shy to do anything, and she'd probably have her way with him. The dungeon she had became to live in had a wide assortment of skulls, jars, plants, feathers, idols, and ah yes, many, many dead and stuffed bodies of albino beings, be them with pink eyes or blue. Tables were filled with ancient books, alembics, mortars and pestles, and alchemical ingredients. Strange looking things were in pots over in a corner.
At first I waited, looking around for her, but then had to call her by name in order to find her. I didn't want to go poking around, as I might get lost in all her rubbish. Once I called her by name, she popped up from behind a massive stack of books.
"Ah-Ah! Don't call me that! By Vincente! Yes, lookat'chu, lookat'chu! Such beauty! And the resemblance! Ah-Ah!" She suddenly broke into dance, circling around and around with a strange, almost toothless smile on her wrinkled face. Her eyes immediately came to me every time she turned around, and her gaze unnerved me. Her long, scraggily black dress brushed against the musty old floor, and the various bones and beads tied about her body clanked together at her movement. She was squat, about to my waist, and looked like she had been on the planet since the beginning of time, but she was so full of energy. Her long, white hair was everywhere, and was so scraggily and tangled that I wondered if something was living in it.
She suddenly, and quite awkwardly, stopped her eccentric dance as she picked up her dress and waddled over to me. She reached bony hands to my face, but didn't quite attain her goal, even with the 3-inch fingernails (more like claws) that she had. I leaned back slightly, but didn't step backwards. Her eyes became wild as she grabbed my silken shirt and bent me over to her eye level.
"You comesth to helpesth something precious to you, yes? Why you come to me? Others could help you, yes! Why? Why me? Vincente, you're gorgeous! Such pretty red eyes! And so pale…" she began rubbing my skin with leathery hands, and I jolted away from her touch. By the Goddesses, she was worse than me! (And that's saying quite a lot).
She looked quite crazy, and I thought that she had been in the dungeon for too long. Fresh air and a little more light than what a candle could offer would do her some good. She stared at me for a long time, and I felt as if I should leave.
"No, no! Don't leave! Stay…stay, please, Vincente, please!"
"My name…my name isn't Vincente, Medizinfrau." I stuttered. She was a mind reader. A very, very rare trait indeed.
"What? Well of course not!"
She let out a long, hoarse laugh, and I thought something would jump out of her throat by the sound of it.
"And neither is my name Medizinfrau. Stupid bastards. "Medicine woman"…Pah! Call me…Oh, dear, I believe I've forgotten my name, Vincente!"
"I'm not Vincente…" I repeated again. I felt, once more, as if I should just leave, but her mind-reading ability had quirked my interest. It had been many millennia since one could read minds. I wonder if Master knew about this oddity that lived in his old dungeon?
"No, no! He doesn't know, and he doesn't NEED to know! Tell him and I will have you for my dinner! Yes…yes…and you would taste sooo good, with such skin as yours. And your eyes! So crunchy! Mm! Vincente, Vincente! Red-Eyes, Red-Eyes…!"
I let out a nervous cough as she began muttering and bustling about her small and cramped home. At first I thought she was looking for a knife that she could come at me with, but I was proved wrong when she brought out a giant, clear, pink-tinted mortar and pestle. She cackled evilly as she added (what seemed) random ingredients in and meshed them all together. She began chanting a spell in a language I had never heard, and I watched, fascinated, as small sparks emitted from the mortar. She kept cackling, even as I backed away towards the door. Her hair frayed up in a huge afro, and her long, black nails scratched at the table as she stared down in the massive mortar.
The door shut behind me, and I stared, wide-eyed, at the cracked stairs that I should be running up, but somehow couldn't.
Medizinfrau was most definitely a strange woman.
And it was only until I had gotten back up to my room that I realized I had left the bread and meat in the room of Medizinfrau. However, I wasn't going back, and there wasn't anything that would force me to go back to that…that…mind reading, peculiar, alchemical, smart and insane woman. Ohh…I bet those books have secrets that no other would know of. Medizinfrau must have gone through so much, seen so much, DONE so much! She could tell me…Tell me things I've always wanted to know, and more so afterwards!
Goddesses damn it; I believe she's put a charm on me.
