It was a cold, dark space with nothing to be heard or seen. It was only a deep and almost


    empty space there Ellen were floating. She felt like she had been there for an eternity, which


    were hard to prove true or false.


    Pictures of her death cause flashed through her mind, causing her to once again curl up like a little ball.


    ” I’m sorry, I’m really sorry”, she mumbled silent to herself and tried to curl up so it wouldn’t be anything of her left.


    It had all started when she had taken a "magical pill ,as the person wished to call it, by one of the


    customers of her father. The pill would help Ellen get the courage to live her own desires out and to


    caught the one she was holding close to her heart.


    She truly believed that it was true and took the pill and waited while searching up some good advices on


    the internet of how she would catch her beloved father, this could have been the chance that she had


    waited for.


    When the pill kicked in her memory became weaker until only fragments remained, but to be honest


    the pill really did help her live her desires out. All in a disturbing matter that Ellen never had wished


    for.


    The first fragment she had was from inside her fathers "working room". It was a dark filled room, with a


    lot of cans. Ellen had never been in there before and wished to be impressed of how her father''s working room looked like, but it seems like her body and mind was separated from her thoughts.


    Without knowing the reasons, she was... Angry?


    She looked at a small bottle in her hands, it gave her a strange feeling of satisfaction. That was


    something she had wished for, something that she liked.


    Ellen covered her eyes, she really didn′t wished to see it all happen again. It had really been an


    unforgiving act she committed, without any chance to be forgiven by anyone.


    Ellen couldn′t see anything but could hear her little sister talking with her, she seemed to be upset by


    something. After something in the dark was slammed to the floor Ellen regained her vision.


    Laying at the floor was her little sister Alice with her face twisted in pain after hitting the clinker clothed


    floor. Ellen herself was sitting on top of her and smiled, " It′s hard to believe that something so obscure


    as you have tried to seduce our poor father".


    Ellen wished it all to stop, this was not the desire she had wished for when taking the pill. She had only


    wished to gain courage enough to tell her father about her true feeling for him. Not to hurt that weak


    and dirty playing little "princess".


    Alice was mumbled something in pain that Ellen couldn′t hear. Ellen''s body was no longer the kind girl


    she used to be and answered her sister with one across the face.


    "Don′t try to act weak as usually, it isn′t working at me. You can trick and gain sympathy and love from


    father, but it really won′t work on me. I am not as stupid as everyone else"!


    She wanted to stop this madness but she seemed to be a mere marionette for her own desires or what


    ever what was driven her.


    Sure Alice had always used the fact that she was weak to gain sympathy and to charm others, but she


    really didn′t deserve this treatment. If that even was true since she had been weak since birth and


    needed some extra care.


    Things were really about to go down when Ellen all of sudden picked out the bottle she somehow had


    gained in her father''s workroom and downed the content before throwing the bottle to the other side


    of the room and grabbed her sister''s trout in a firm grip. Forcefully she made Alice drink some of the liquid


    while swallowing the last herself. Ellen did feel disgusted that she act like that and at the same time


    terrified since she knows deep inside that it was something bad with the liquor. Alice looked at her,


    teared up by her strange behaviour. Only to be meet by a smile and some more beating.


    Ellen opened up her eyes and looked at the roof, it had only been a dream. It really didn′t happened


    again. She wasn′t in that strange void again, she really wasn’t there.


    She rose in the bed and let out a heavy yawn. It had been at least 3 years since that happened and


    she did die. Almost bringing Alice with her, almost bringing that little "princess" with her if it shouldn''t


    been because her father had called the ambulance. Then being charmed by her and waiting by


    her side, letting Ellen die and sent to that void all alone.


    It sure had been a horrific act by Ellen and she knew she never would be forgiven for it, but it was hard


    to believe that she deserved to both be locked up in the void for what had felt like eternities and to die


    without anyone by her side. Forced to remember her terrible act over and over again until she finally


    was saved and revived by her father.


    With a heavy sigh she walked out of the bed and straight to the window. The view outside the window


    was like it had been taken from a history book about the Victorian age. Old two-floored houses with


    pointy roofs and big windows, filled with so-called "upper-class" people that always looked disliking at


    their house. Ellen dropped another heavy sight and walked over to the wardrobe that she and her sister


    shared, picking out a red dress that clearly wasn′t made for someone with her body. She looked at


    herself in the mirror at the other side of the room and saw the same usually disappointing person as


    always. A not good looking, flat girl that almost reminded of a rectangular box. A truly disappointing


    view in comparing with her, now, time glass formed little sister. Not even her shoulder long hair was


    worth to compare with Alice''s silk like white hair that reached halfway her back.


    Ellen dropped yet another heavy sigh and dressed up in her sister''s dress.


    It had really been 3 years since she died, 3 painful years she had spent in that void before being revived.


    During that time the years had passed for her father and sister. They had both become older and got the


    time to die once, of which Ellen found it hard to believe that they died. Even harder to believe was that


    they now were "living" in the afterlife.


    Both her father and sister were spending their morning in the kitchen, Alice was preparing breakfast


    while her father waited at the table for it to be done.


    "Good morning Jack" she happily greeted her father, trying to ignore Alice.


    Her father that was a thin build man looked back at her, "good morning Ellen".


    He had scolded her harshly so Ellen had been worried that he had revived her so he could kill her with


    his own two hands. Ellen suspected that she had been saved by telling him that she was acting weird


    because of the pill she had taken, she wasn′t forgiven but it seemed a little calmer then at first.


    Just by fluke in the confronting about what had happened that evening Ellen opened her mouth a little


    to wide and exposed her love for him.


    Ellen took a place in beside him around the table. Jack had that day told her that they wasn′t bound by


    the rules they once had followed, so if she could show herself worthy. She maybe could have a chance


    get closer to him. But then she at least had to start by calling him his name and not father, if she did that


    they could make up the fact that she was adopted. Which could make it possible for her to get her wish


    through.


    "Good morning Ellen", Alice suddenly interrupted while serving Jack a cup of coffee.


    Her now well develop body irritated Ellen, she had become a beautiful woman with all her bodyfat


    placed around her chest. Not to mention that Ellen always had an advance since she always had been


    older then her, but not even that was true anymore.


    "Good morning" Ellen answered in a monotone voice. She really couldn′t trust Alice, who know, she


    could still be trying to steal poor Jack from her.


    Soon Alice served the breakfast and everyone enjoyed it during silence. It was one thing that hadn′t


    change since before she died, all the time everyone was gathered around the table it was silent so you


    almost could cut it to pieces. Jack had never told any of the girl why he wanted it like that, but he had


    made it clear that he wanted it to be like that.


    " I would like to exterminate your artificial parts when I come back home", Jack declared


    before finishing of his last coffee. Ellen first looked dumb fooled at him as if he was joking, before it


    became clear. She wasn′t used to the fact that he had been forced to give her an artificial heart and


    lungs.


    "Oki", Ellen answered with plain happiness.


    The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.It was something that had to be done to make sure that she would stay alive with him.


    During the day Ellen didn′t had to do anything special but making sure that she kept training her


    body. It mainly seemed to be because the body of hers had been weakened during the time she


    was dead, however that now could have happened.


    A thought suddenly struck her. If she had died in the other world, wouldn′t that mean that her body


    had been buried there to. Which would make it very complicated for her father to get his hands on


    her body in this world. Right?


    Ellen stopped and looked at the plain, one colour wall paper, as if it holds the answer away from her.


    It was all very strange but maybe she could ask him about it when he examined her. If he now


    wanted to tell her. Of course she wouldn′t pressure him for an answer, but it would be nice to know


    how that possible could have happened.


    " Would you like some tea Ellen"? Alice asked her when she passed the kitchen.


    Ellen glared at her and nodded slowly. She sure didn′t like the fact that Alice would make something


    for her, but this far she needed the help she could get.


    If they had warmed up the water at a cooker, she could easily have done it herself. Even if they had


    used a stove, she could have made it herself. Or anything that would have been typical for the Victorian


    era.


    But instead of using any of those this world had invented a strange gear that gave of heat of while spinning.


    Of which Ellen still didn′t understood either how it worked or how to use.


    Something similar was used in Jack''s working room there she had woken up, but there the strange gear


    gave of a light instead.


    The noise from that kind of gear had been bothering her during the whole time inside the room, almost


    driven her mad.


    Ellen let out a light sigh and took a place around the table while Alice prepared the cup of tea for her.


    She couldn′t help but to look at Alice from time to time, her body looked even more perverted then


    when she almost had killed her. She had always had a strange charm to make others fall for her, but


    with a body like that she could and had probably spend every and second night with a guy.


    That is really a perverted little "princess" for everyone.


    Of course she couldn’t help to feel a little bad for her. As Ellen had understood it, so had poor, poor Jack


    been arrested after it all. He was the one that had been suspected for Ellen’s deed.


    Alice had been moved into a foster home, there she had lived until the day she took her own life. But


    she felt guiltier about that Jack had been judged for it and forced to live a hard life in jail before even he took his own life. She could almost see in front of her how he had to fight for survival every single day.


    Fighting for a so simple thing as being alive.


    “Here’s your tea Ellen”, Alice said and gave her a cup. Interrupting Ellen thoughts.


    Ellen gave a simple thank and took the cup of tea. It did bother her that Alice was so calm around her,


    especially since what had happened that night. Ellen had tried to kill her own sister, yet Alice had thrown herself at Ellen and hugged her tight when they finally met again. It was if she holds no grudge


    against her, or that maybe was what she wanted Ellen to believe.


    That little “princess” could easily wait until Ellen dropped her guard and then take out her revenge.


    Either by almost killing her or even worse, snatch Jack way from her. It could only be a matter of time


    before she acted out her plans and took her revenge on the monster like culprit.


    Since Ellen didn’t want to let her guard down and only sat silent around the table, sipping her tea Alice


    began to ask about Ellen’s training was going. Slowly she got a normal conversation started about how


    life now was going and about the world they now were living in. The part that interested Ellen most was


    that Jack even claimed that Alice was adopted. Apparently it seemed like it was disgraceful to have


    children without a marriage. So therefor it was better to claim that they were adopted, which would


    mean that less people would threw an evil eye at poor Jack. Ellen couldn’t help but to wonder if that


    meant it still would be okay for her and Jack to fall in love, without everyone would give him a hard time.


    She could only hope and trust Jack’s word.


    The conversation lasted longer than their tea and until it was time for Alice to get out and buy food so


    she could make the dinner, just in time for when their father arrived back home. She even asked Ellen if


    she wanted to follow but Ellen quickly declined. Not because she was afraid that Alice would act out any


    plan, but instead because she still felt uncomfortable with this new world. A new world would mean new people, lot of new rules and norms. It was all new and she would need to learn it, at least if she


    wished to fit in. So it was better for her to stay inside instead of doing anything wrong.


    Ellen looked out at Alice when she left for her errand. That princess sure was lucky to have living in this


    world long enough to not be worry about looking like an idiot if she did anything wrong. Not that


    the shameless “princess” would have any problem if she did something wrong and look like an idiot.


    Ellen laid on a metal clothed table in Jack’s working room. Her upper body was nude and most probably


    a horrific view for even Jack to see, but it was necessary when he examined her artificial parts. They


    seemed to be well hidden behind a lid in Ellen back, or that was at least what she thought. It wasn’t that


    it would be impossible for her to look herself with the help of a mirror, but she rather didn’t want to see


    it herself. After all she was still hesitating if she still was really a human with parts like that.


    So far it seems like everything work”, Jack said in a plain voice.


    Of course it worked, it was after all him that had done it. Ellen let out a small sigh, he was a great person


    so he needed to hesitate a little less at himself.


    “Have you apologised to little Alice yet?” He asked while Ellen felt how he clearly thumped at her heart


    with a finger. It was a like all her blood vibrated in her veins, easy said a very uncomfortable feeling.


    “Not yet”, Ellen answered weakly. She really didn’t wanted to hear that question since it was like the


    perverted “princess” already had Jack in her iron grips. Which easily could mean that she already was on


    the way of stealing him away from Ellen.


    Jack dropped a disappointed sigh and tapped his finger at her heart more frequently. “You have to


    apologise to her, don’t forget how much suffering you caused her”.


    She knows that she had caused both Alice and him a lot suffering, but yet she didn’t want to apologise to her. Or rather, Ellen was both drowning in guilt of what she had done that evening and she didn’t have the courage to even talk about that time. So it was a really small chance that there ever would be


    an apologise, but that wasn’t anything Jack needed to know.


    Ellen felt guilty to lie Jack right into the face when she said she would apologise to Alice. It was all out of


    necessarily, this wasn’t a situation she wanted to be in for any longer. Only the singel fact that Jack


    seemed to be angry was more than enough, that or also involved that night only made it even worse.


    Jack didn’t spare any nagging and went on for another couple of minutes before he finally stop, closing


    up the lid at her back before leaving the room for his library.


    Ellen looked frustrated after Jack when he left the room. He could have spent some more time with her


    instead of hurry of to the library. And that extra time could have been without nagging her about


    apologising to Alice.


    Except from the frustration of the nagging, Ellen got the same feeling as when she had woken up a bit


    from Alice that night. By some reason she had taken distance from Alice and then fainted. A voice she


    know well could be heard. Following the voice, she could see Jack beside Alice, even though it all was


    very blurry she knew clear that it was him.


    Feeling weak she did her best to talk, “Father, can you please call an ambulance”.


    Jack looked terrified at her before he picked up his cell phone to make the call. He never once left Alice.


    “Father, I don’t feel well. Do you think i will survive?”. Jack looked serious at her and finally talked with


    her, “I am sure you will survive. You are a very strong girl after all”.


    Ellen had felt betrayed by both him and her own little sister. Couldn’t Alice let their father be with Ellen


    during a time like that, and couldn’t he have tried a little harder to break free from her charm.


    Ellen let out a heavy sigh, did Alice already control father with her charm or was it someone other that


    controlled her poor, poor beloved one. Who ever it was, Ellen had to find a way to snatch him back.


    The faster the better.
