Hello everyone!
So here is the next chapter of MVMM! There has been a good amount of talk about certain stories being stolen lately and I honestly almost didn't post this because of this. I haven't seen any of my stories stolen yet but the thought of it scares me a bit. Hopefully if anyone sees that happen they will tell me but I'm being watchful now. I really hope it doesn't happen to me but I'm sure that's what other people have hoped as well. I'm going to keep looking out for it but for now I'll continue posting. I'm really passionate about my stories and really want to share them with people but I would prefer that I get the credit and not someone else.
I hope you all enjoy this! Don't forget to comment and vote! Also, I'm trying to decide between Karen's chapter and Serenity's chapter next. Who do you guys want? Let me know!

Madam Vixen's Mad Mansion: Chapter Three- Individual Cases: Serenity Knowls
Serenity skipped down the hallway towards the kitchen as food was being set out for breakfast. She saw some sushi and gleefully put a bunch of it on her plate. She then went into the dining room to sit down and eat.
Tala was already in there and practically ignored Serenity except for a small nod. Serenity sat down a few seats away from her and next to Asia, who smiled happily at her as she eat what Serenity was pretty sure was rabbit meat. Vixen was at the end of the table, sipping her tea that she drank every morning and reading yet another book on psychology. Serenity served herself a plate of fruits and vegetables before starting to eat.
The room slowly started to fill with everyone else. Vixen had everyone on a pretty tight schedule so everyone had to get up a bit early to eat breakfast and most of the people in the mansion had to eat breakfast or they would crash halfway through the day.
Chloe came in shortly after Serenity and sat down at the other end of the table. Alex walked in groggily and sat across from Asia on the empty side of the table. Anna seemed to wonder in a few minutes later, her nose in a book about the science of some TV show Serenity had never heard of called Doctor Who. She sat down next to Alex and then turned to Vixen to talk to her about the schedule for today.
Karen came through the door a few moments later before turning and dragging a very embarrassed looking Ella into the room. She dragged her and sat next to Alex, making Ella sit on her other side. Alex glanced over before seeming to wake up a bit and her eyes went wide. Serenity wondered why Alex was giving them that look and why Ella looked so embarrassed. After a moment she finally got it and her eyes went wide too.
"Ella. Karen. I would like to talk to you after breakfast." Vixen told them before going back to eating. Ella seemed to blush more but kept looking down at her food. It was quiet for a few minutes before Francine walked in and sat between Asia and Tala. She sat there eating her steak for a moment, seeming to be half asleep, before she looked around the still quiet room. She looked over at Ella and Karen, staring at them blankly for a moment before she finally seemed to wake up.
"Holy shit! You two fucked!" She exclaimed before she started to laugh. Ella blushed beet red and Karen just rolled her eyes and ignored her.
"That is none of your business Francine." Vixen pointed out, looking at the demon sternly. Francine rolled her eyes and went back to eating. Serenity watched them all curiously for a moment before finishing her food and standing up.
"Don't forget you have a session today at one." Vixen reminded her as she passed her on the way to the kitchen. Serenity nodded and then dropped off her dishes in the sink before skipping up to her room. Her room was on the third floor and on the farthest side from the library. She picked it out because it had a small balcony with a perfect view of the ocean. She walked out onto the balcony now and sighed happily at the view of the green-blue water.
Now. What to do today?
She asked herself as she thought about it and tied her hair up in pigtails with blue ribbon she had grabbed to match her Classic Lolita dress she was wearing today. It was a smooth navy colored satin material that flowed beautifully and had buttons going from her chest to the high collared neck. There was a little black ribbon tied around the collar with a bow in front and the sleeves were short puffed sleeves. She wore a petticoat under her skirt, which reached just below her knees and she wore white knee highs and black Mary Janes on her feet.
She stood there for a few minutes before looking down at the garden below, realizing just how high up this balcony was and starting to panic a bit. She backed up quickly and suddenly ran straight into someone, squealing.
"Dear gods. Even your squeals are musical child." Alex said as seemed to appear in the room. Serenity blushed slightly when she looked up at Karen's face.
"S-Sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." She said, blushing a bit brighter.
"It's okay little one." Karen grinned back, her hands on Serenity's waist. She helped her stand up fully before letting go.
"Any plans for the day?" Alex asked as she sat down on a chair in a way that showed the high status she once had.
"I was just trying to think of something actually." Serenity shrugged.
"We could try on some more of the clothes in the closet." Karen suggested.
"We could explore the gardens." Alex stated as she looked at her nails.
"We haven't really done that yet." Karen noted. Serenity looked towards the gardens outside the balcony. It looked rather beautiful, but at the same time full of danger.
There could be snakes and spiders out there...
She thought to herself a little fearfully.
"Sweetheart, you are afraid of your own shadow and really need to just let yourself have a bit of fun." Karen interrupted her thoughts.
"I'll come with," Asia said as she came into the room as well. Serenity smiled at her, feeling a bit safer, before sighing.
"Okay. I guess that could be fun." She finally agreed.
"Alright! Let's go!" Karen smiled as she jumped up and headed for the door.
"Let me go get my parasol," Alex said as she stood up and adjusted her skirt. She was suddenly gone and back again faster than most can track and they all headed out of Serenity's room and down to the first floor. When they got to the back door, Serenity hesitated.
"It's okay honey. I'm here." Asia reassured her. Serenity smiled back and stepped out slowly, Asia right behind her. Alex and Karen were already a bit ahead and stopped to look back at them as they caught up.
"Where should we go first? The maze? The field?" Karen asked as they continued to walk.
"The rose garden," Alex stated, already heading that way. Serenity smiled in agreement as they turned and followed her.
I should have worn my Sweet Lolita with the pink and blue roses on it!
Serenity thought as they approached the garden. It was filled with every color and breed of rose imaginable and Serenity was amazed by them. She slowly started to move down the rows of rose bushes, smelling all the different types and giggling as the flowers tickled her nose. Asia followed her and Karen and Alex went off on their own to explore. Serenity noticed that Alex looked very peaceful here and wondered if she had something like this around her mansion when she was a lady.
Serenity screamed as suddenly there was a bee in her face, scaring her out of her thoughts. Asia grabbed her and forced her to stay still even though she wanted to bolt back into the safety of her room.
"Calm down sweetie and hold still. You're scaring it." She spoke calmly to Serenity and for a moment Serenity wondered if she was sane.
"It's scaring me!" she cried back, cowering into Asia. Asia smiled and stuck out a finger, the bee landing on it after a moment.
"You have nothing to be afraid of sweetie. It's just looking for a bit of nectar."
Serenity held her breath as she waited for the bee to sting her friend but it simply crawled around a bit on her finger before flying off, back to the flowers. Serenity sighed in relief before looking up at Asia.
"I wish I was as brave as you."
"You are braver than you think sweetie. You just haven't realized it yet."Asia smiled at her and they continued on their way.
They explored the gardens for a few hours after that, looking through the different flowers, sitting on some of the benches to watch some of the birds. Asia pointed out all the ones she knew and Serenity sang with them, after checking that there were no men around of course. Karen and Alex explored the gardens as well and they looked like they were enjoying themselves. Alex disappeared for awhile but reappeared out of the maze a little while later.
"It wasn't all that hard to solve really," she told them with a shrug before continuing to the rest of the garden.
"We should probably go get something for lunch before your appointment," Asia noted. Serenity sighed before nodding. They got up and headed inside to the lunch buffet. It was open from eleven to two so any of them could eat at any time and wasn't a communal meal. Serenity grabbed some more sushi, this time with salmon, and turned to sit down with Asia. Anna was already there, always eating at the same exact time it seemed.
"Good afternoon," she greeted as Serenity sat across from her.
"To you as well," Asia said politely before smiling at Serenity and starting to eat. Serenity repeated the greeting before pouring herself some tea and enjoying her lunch.
Anna excused herself a few minutes later and Tala came in after that, looking as if she just did an intense dance workout. Asia finished before Serenity and smiled as she stood up.
"I'm going to go. I'll talk to you after your appointment, okay?"
Serenity nodded and then finished up eating. She put her plate in the kitchen before slowly heading towards Vixen's office. She ran her hand along the wall and suddenly wished she had brought her teddy bear.
Maybe I have enough time to go get it...
She thought, stopping at the door and looking down the hall. She looked at the door and swallowed before turning to leave. She bit her lip as Vixen came around the corner suddenly.
I guess there's no getting out of it now...
"Hello Serenity. You're just in time." Vixen smiled before opening the door and letting her in. Serenity walk in a few steps before stopping as Vixen came in and set a few books on her desk.
"Okay. Where would you like to sit for this?"
"In my room," came out of Serenity's mouth before she could stop it. Vixen paused for a moment before nodding.
