Chapter 6
Frank looked up from his plate as he heard the door to the dining room creak open. He made eye contact with his butler and swiftly nodded his head, signalling for him to proceed.
Riff Raff, seemingly alone, made a jerking movement with his hand and began to walk towards the table. It was only after a few strides that Frank was able to see the sopping girl – woman – who shyly walked behind.
"And what have we here?" Frank demanded as he rose from his chair and made his way to meet Riff Raff at the end of the long table.
"This is miss…" Riff Raff trailed off as he realized that he had never asked her name.
"Ah, my name is Sophie sir, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier." The girl replied timidly.
Throughout this exchange Frank had taken his chance to take in the figure before him and he was…well…quite enthused with what he saw.
She was small and thin, thinner that either Columbia or Magenta – not that he particularly cared for extremely thin girls but it would be different. She was sinfully cute, round cheeks, plump pink lips, bright blue eyes, small, buttoned nose... Oh how he would enjoy making her up…. Her figure was clearly developed regardless of her attempting to cover it up…a shame really… oh what wonderful clothes she would wear… but he would see her true self soon, not this ugly charade she chose to dress herself as. But best off all, she screamed purity, innocence…she had to be taken. She would be taken, he assured it.
"Enchanté," Frank said as he bent down to kiss her small, cold hand, "and what brings you here so late Sophie?"
Upon kissing her hand Frank was treated with the delicious sight of her cheeks flaring a soft pink coupled with her biting her lower lip and averting her eyes to the floor. He groaned under his breath…she would be fun.
"Oh well my car broke down and I-I was hoping that I m-might be able to use your phone…if it wouldn't be too much of an inconvenience…" Sophie stuttered, keeping her eyes directed downwards.
"Ah well my dear, and whom would you be phoning this late?" he asked in a slightly mocking tone.
"Well I…" she froze thinking, "I-I don't have anyone to phone now that I think of it…" and, unexpectedly, she fell to the ground and began to cry.
Frank-n-Furter was baffled and slightly disgusted by her display of emotion. Now why would she be crying? Yet, ever the gentleman, he helped her up – goodness she was light – and brought her to a chair at the table while simultaneously hushing her sobs.
"I-I-I'm so s-sorry about this, g-goodness I'm such a burden and a horrible guest. M-my day has j-just been so terrible…I have nowhere to stay, I have nowhere to work, and I h-have no one to g-go to!" She stuttered, ending her speech with a feminine sob.
By this point both Magenta and Columbia had left the room bored and slightly annoyed by the new girl. Riff Raff had tried to follow suit but a scathing glance from his master told him he was to stay there.
"Ah my dear now why don't you just tell me all your troubles?" Frank insisted as he pulled up a chair next to her.
"I don't wish to bore you…" Sophie began but the look in her host's eyes told her that she should obey his wish…and so she did.
Little did she know that the start of this conversation would lead her life in a most unexpected direction.
