The slave

Wednesday’s POV

Enid was afraid, she doesn’t know what is better or what the meaning of feeling fine meant. She only knew she was in pain.

“Mi amore? What flavour would you like?”

I ask my mate as I carried her into the shop. She looked at the abundance of flavours and I could see the way the colours caught her eye.

E: “Enid wants…”

“Yes, mon loup?”

Enid didn’t say anything she simply pointed at the extremely pink Ice cream, it was lychee flavoured.

“Do you think you can finish if I buy you two scoop worth of ice cream?”

E: “Don’t know…”

“That’s alright, whatever you can’t finish we just give it to the vampire. Or would you prefer one scoop?”

E: “One.”

“Get me the cone with one scoop of the lychee-flavoured ice cream.”

I told the waitress and she moved quickly and grabbed what I ask for and hand the ice cream to Enid, while I waited for the rest to finish their order before paying for everything.

Once we finished ordering, we took a seat while Enid sat on my lap. She would take small nibbles and she even offered me some, which I shook my head to.

“Mi amore, the ice cream is about to melt.”

E: “B-but Enid wants to eat slowly.”

“I know but once it melts there’s nothing to eat.”

This time Enid took slightly bigger yet still smaller bites, I smiled and took a napkin and cleaned her mouth.

Once the rest finished their ice cream, I got up bringing Enid with me.

“We shall be going first.”

Everyone else: “Bye.”

B: “I’ll stop by later.”

“I’ll let mother know.”

With that said I carried Enid to the car and place her in the seat before leaving I helped her wear her seatbelt and I then shut the door and got into the driver’s side. I then put the box that held the two kittens onto her lap.

“Hold on tight to the box.”

I say as I stepped on the gas pedal and drove off. I was driving about 120-140km per hour while making sure Enid was fine.

Soon we reach home and I quickly move to pick Enid out of the car while Lurch got Enid’s things out. The kittens were handed to the mother to care for.

“Enid, love, wake up. We are home.”

Enid’s eyes slowly fluttered open and she nuzzled into my sweat glan and I was quick to cover her in my scent.

E: “Enid wants to play…”

“Let us head over to your playroom then, I believe father has installed a water pool for you.”

E: “Water pool?”

“You shall see.”

I carried the girl all the way up to our room and dug through the bags of clothes she had just bought and found a pink swimwear. I handed them to the girl.

“Can you get change without me?”

E: “Mm.”

I step out of the room and waited for her confirmation for me to enter.

E: “Enid changed…”

I heard her muffled voice and when I open the door with my eyes close and I look up to see her covered in pink, I saw the most beautiful omega I had ever seen in my life.

“Cara Mia, you are the beauty, the sun of my life.”

I knew Enid couldn’t understand me but I said it anyway with a small smile on my face. I held my hand out for her and she slowly grabbed on.

I then led her to her playroom which now had a placard on the door saying: Enid’s Playroom. In neon pink, it almost made my eyes roll out the back of my head with its brightness.

I opened the door and there was indeed a water pool- let me correct myself, there was an entirely newly created playground in the middle of the pool, the first playground was a dry element one now Father has made the environment a wet element.

I wonder how much time Lurch spent on this new set of entertainment for it to be done in a few hours.

E: “Miss Wednesday, there’s swing in water.”

There indeed was a swing slightly above the water level.

“Well, go on then, go ahead and play.”

E: “Miss Wednesday no play?”

“No, I dislike getting into the water. Why don’t I get Socrates to play with you?”

E: “Okay.”

I walked over to the telecom and pressed on the one that was Pugsley’s room.

“Pugsley bring Socrates over.”

Releasing the button knowing full well, Pugsley was on his way. I then diverted Enid’s attention to the box that wrote ‘toy’s for pool’.

She ran over to it and open the box to find, rubber ducks, boats and many other toys. She quickly grabbed the rubber duck and the toy boat.

She then ran to the pool and slowly got in, the water level was only up to her belly level when she sat down in the water.

She pushed the boat forward and made different sounds, she had yet to notice that Pugsley was currently talking to me.

Since the water Enid was in was fresh water with no chlorine added in, Socrates happily jumped into the water, as he scuttle in, Socrates heard me call out to him to look out for Enid.

The octopus had shaken his tentacle and swarmed Enid. He swarms around Enid, and while Enid chases the octopus in the pool, she stood up and moved slowly while Socrates.

E: “Miss Wednesday?”

“Yes, Enid, what is it?”

E: “Play?”

“Pugsley shall play with you. Father has called for me. If Pugsley leaves, make sure he lets you know.”

E: “Yes, Miss Wednesday.”

Enid went back to playing with her toys while Socrates climbed into her toy boat. I left the room and headed to my father’s office. I happened across a family portrait and decided to inform Father we should get a new one painted soon.

When I reached my father’s office, I knocked three times to hear my father yell for me to come in. I opened the door knowing full well, father had thrust a sword in my direction and I quickly changed my direction.

“Father, what is it that you needed?”

G: “I needed to talk to you regarding Enid’s adoption papers.”

I dodge another thrust from him before pulling out my daggers and throwing them back at him, we continued our conversation until one of my daggers hit Father’s back.

“Father. I suggest we make a new family painting.”

G: “Hmm, yes that is a good idea.”

“I do suggest we get Enid her own bed or we make mines bigger.”

G: “I’ll get you a bigger bed. I’ll call in the painter as soon as we hear news of brother coming home.”

“Thank you, father. I shall take my leave, its time for Enid’s nap before dinner.”

I walked out and headed to Enid’s game room, I smiled as I walked by the painting I was telling Father about, soon a new member was to be added.

Once I reached the game room, I knocked on the door three times, before opening and letting myself in. I found Enid on the water slide with Socrates sitting on her shoulder as they slide down with their hands up in the air.

E: “Wee!”

“Having fun?”

E: “Miss Wednesday!”

Enid called out as she turn in my direction and I leaned against the door with my arms crossed. She stood up and caught Socrates as he fell off her shoulder.

“It’s time for you nap.”

E: “Play more?”

“No, come now, if you don’t take your nap during dinner you are going to be tired.”

E: “Yes, miss Wednesday.”

Enid got out of the pool and Thing brought her a pink towel. I pulled my gloves on and used the towel to dry her.

Once she was dry I picked her up and brought her to my room, having already ask Thing to set up the bath before bringing Enid’s towel for me. Once Enid finished her bath, I quickly helped her get changed. I put her in a duck onesie for adults and blow-dried her hair.

Once she was completely cleaned and dried, she crawled into bed and I covered her under the blanket.

E: “Poem?”

I almost smiled, she was addicted to having a poem every time she took a nap, but at least she is happy. I wanted to pat her on the head for surviving so long, however, I knew if I try something it might trigger her fear.

I turned off the lights and set up the night light Mother had bought for her. Apparently, Mother says it not only spins but shows stars and a moon too.

“Perfect, are you ready, Enid?”

E: “Mm!”

“May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may a friend be always near. Sweet dreams Enid.”

The word sweet makes me want to vomit.
