Chapter 7 : After Midnight
Kianna's ears were pointed straight upwards in excitement as she looked back and forth between her sister and Anton. Seeing that neither of them were going to make a move she quickly began to get impatient.
"Mm!" she mumbled as she started to sway back and forth "Mmph!"
Kianna stopped her movements and went completely still as Anton shifted his gaze to her. Finding herself under his scrutiny, the dark elf stared back at him for a moment before nervously leaning herself back.
"Mm!" she whined as she looked from him to the pitcher of water and then at her sister "Hm!"
Fiona remained completely still as her sister continued to moan frantically beside her.
Twisting herself at the waist, Kianna turned to fully face Anton and mimicked her sister by laying her ears back submissively and hunching her head down on her shoulders.
"Hm!" she moaned as her eyes became pleading "Hmm!"
Anton looked back and forth between the two surrendered dark elves that had now become almost mirror images of each other. With a soft sigh he turned to the pitcher and began to fill the second glass with water.
Actually seeing the water being poured made all the difference in Fiona, and her eyes immediately began to quickly dart back and forth between the glass and Anton. Seeing him still unmoving she followed her sister's lead and began to quietly whimper.
Kianna went silent and turned to look at her sister as she noticed that she was calling out herself.
"Finally!" mumbled Anton "I was starting to think you were going to make poor Kianna do all the work for you!"
Fiona ignored the remark as she stared at the glass of water and continued to whimper softly.
Anton made a show of cracking his knuckles as he stood up and walked towards the two dark elves.
Suddenly unsure, the dark elves both cringed away from him as he knelt down and sat at eye level with them.
"Hm, well isn't this nice and convenient!" teased Anton as he looked from Fiona to Kianna "Tame one, and she goes off and tames the other one for you!"
Kianna blinked before looking down at the floor and mumbling sheepishly.
Fiona's eyes became glaring as she made a low menacing sound in the back of her throat.
"Hm, isn't that what this means?" asked Anton as he waved a finger back and forth between the dark elves and indicated their still flattened ears "Isn't this your way of saying that you don't want to fight anymore? And that you're ready to behave yourselves?"
Both of the dark elves went quiet. After a moment of stillness Kianna shrugged by raising a single shoulder and then letting it fall.
"I'm going to take that as a "yes" then" said Anton as he shifted his gaze to Fiona.
Fiona's glare intensified as they both stared into each others eyes.
"...You're a stubborn one. And that's the only reason you've suffered as much as you have" said Anton as he watched the dark elf's eyes tightened "You know what you need to do next"
Fiona's ears began to quiver slightly as she fought to keep them where they were. After a few more moments of glaring she gave in, cast her eyes downwards and nodded while groaning defiantly as she did so.
"Good" said Anton as he reached out and took hold of her sybian.
The startled dark elf bucked her hips and pulled away from him as Anton pushed her back and slid her across the floor before maneuvering her back to where she was originally. He then picked up the little wired control box and turned it over in his hand as he made a show of examining it. Out of the corner of his eye he watched as Kianna stared directly at the little box.
"No good deed will ever go unpunished Kianna" said Anton as he turned to the dark elf and gave her a soft grin "But you already know that... Don't you?"
Kianna's eyes went wide as she hunkered down and whimpered fearfully.
"We'll get to that in a little while though..." said Anton as he shifted his gaze back to Fiona "First things first..."
Fiona's rage was still clear on her face as she continued to glare angrily at him.
Without a word Anton reached out with his left hand and took hold of her head-harness before roughly pulling her head upwards until her whole body became taunt.
Fiona grunted in surprise as her body was suddenly stretched tight. She flinched but kept one of her eyes open as Anton moved his free hand to her face and began to unclasp her face plate. Once the plate was free of the leather straps, he peeled it away from her face while pulling the gag out of her mouth.
Anton did this in one quick motion as he felt this dark elf had not earned the gentler touch he had given her sister.
Setting the gag to the side, he took note that it had been just as badly ravaged as Kianna's. Which of course meant that Fiona had teeth that were just as capable of causing damage as her sister did. Unlike her meeker sister however, this dark elf seemed far more likely to use her natural weapons, and as such she warranted a higher level of caution.
"Better watch the fingers..." mumbled Anton to himself as he turned back to the dark elf.
Fiona immediately began to take several deep breaths through her parched mouth. She tried flexing her jaw but just like her sister it was too painful of a process for her to accomplish. Her tongue was so dry that it was literally stuck to the floor of her mouth and she let out a tiny yelp as she painfully peeled it up. Moving her newly freed tongue back and forth in her mouth, she glanced at the glass of water sitting on the table across from her and then looked at Anton with expectation in her eyes.
Anton's face became stoic as he stared back at her.
"Who is your Master now Fiona?" he asked calmly.
Fiona clamped her eyes shut and tried to clench her jaw as her face became marred with her agitation.
"Y-you!" she croaked angrily though her opened mouth.
Anton closed his eyes with a sigh and shook his head.
