Melanie and Eternal Dollnation

Jonathan awoke from a loud bang coming from some where in the room. He bolted up right. Head spinning still, but at least he was awake. The last thing he remembered was coming to enormous house that was surrounded by a dense lush forest. It seemed odd to him that such a structure could be built out here on the outskirts of the mist, but he had seem odder things in the last couple months. The room was filled to the brim with dresses hanging off every inch and every corner that could occupy a hanger. The light from the fireplace barely even cut through the heavy dust that hung in the air and floated timelessly. The doors opened casting light into his dimly lit eyes.

“Ah your awake” A women approached “Sorry about the knock on the noggin , I thought might want to run away” she gave a laugh and helped him to his feet. “Not to worry now, your all good, home now , aren’t you”

“I wouldn’t call this home” They stumbled through some adorned hallways filled with seemed like giant statues in cosplay sprawled on white pedestals. Odd outfits and even weirder poses. His feet worked , but his vision still swam in his head. Another door opened and the women pushed him into a large chair at the head of a table. She quickly took the seat next to him. Ironing out her dress as she sat and then turned with a smile that could make the sun shine less. Her dress was impeccably clean and looked like it was straight out of a house on the prairie promotional, but what make it interesting was her make up. Devil red lips with a little bit of glimmer, long black eye lashes and fake rosy cheeks. Even her teeth seemed to glow white with each time she opened her small mouth.

A glass slid in front of him filled with liquid sparkling blue “Please you must be thirsty, being stuffed in that room for so long. I have had a lot of experiences …. “ The words just seemed to blur all together and he rolled his eyes. Alright, its time to get out of here. Quicker then he thought her hand grasped onto his wrist as he tried to stand. “hmmmmm, I don’t think you should be doing that. There are a couple of rules that we need to establish” more dominent women, great “ First, you only speak and move how I want you to, Two you listen to everything I say” Sounded much similar to a situation he had been in along time ago. How was Alina doing? “ Third, are you listening?” He felt his head nod, but to answer, no he was not. “Alright then you know the rules? Alright , run as fast as you can then”

“What?” She pulled him from the chair and tugged his arm forward. He fell down an enormous slide made out of porcelain. He tumbled all the way down ,flip flopping and finally came to the ground with a thud. He looked back up at the women who had just kidnapped and threw him down. She smiled back with a thumbs up. He thought he heard her say good luck, but what ever she had done with him was messing with all of him. The walls around him were high, multicolored and filled with large paintings of people in all different costumes. The floor looked like something out of candy land and even the lights sprayed a swirling light of purple and silver. He walked out into the maze and looked each way. Only two paths, either left or right. An enormous crash came from the slide. A shadow cast upon him and he turned. If one could see their most horrifying nightmare come to life, then this couldn’t, surely be the place. But it was. The giant casting the shadow stood starting down at him. All fabric and plastic forming the giant version of a doll one might find for a child. It’s eyelids opened and its eye screeched into position to finally stare right at him. For the only time in his whole life , a diaper was generously thanked for.

“Holy fuck” The doll bent down to get a better look at him. The mouth was static, but the eyes slid and batted producing a knife against rock sound that rang upon his ears.

“Now! Good luck, choose wisely my dear. You don’t want to choose wrong” The women’s voice echoed through the still mouth. He regretted not listening to her, but he felt that was all part of her fun. The doll straightened back up and he took off running. Each step rumbled the floor and each wall twisted and turned. Should of drank what ever that liquid that was as well. So many mistakes in such a short amount of time, oh and here another one. A dead end welcomed him with a pedestal with some sort of capsule. As he went to dash back and giant hand surrounded and caught him. It squeezed and lifted him towards the capsule.

“What a pretty outfit you have chosen” The doll mused at him. In the capsule there hung a blue train conductors outfit, but instead it looked like one for a toddler. Snap crotch, overalls with baby bottle buttons and the hat had “My Little Conductor” embroidered on it. Jonathan let out a breath which the hand quickly squeezed cutting off his lungs. He tired to gasp for breath, but the arm slowly was squeezing him out. “Let us get everything ready, see you soon!”

When faced with one of your greatest nightmares, you would want some one to brave and stand up to it. Jonathan always thought the same, till its glassy eyes stared through his soul with utter destructive thoughts. He was awake now, but scared to open his eyes at the thought being face to face with that creature again.

“Psst” He ignored it , might be trick “pssssst! I know your awake you idiot” Melanie? He opened his eyes and now knew why his wrists hurt so much. To his right hanging from the same position was Melanie, the queen of the mist. Her bright red lips against her dark bluish black skin smiled at him with seduction. “Thought so”

“What are you doing here?”

“Trying to save you, do you even know what this place is?”He stumbled out of the mist looking for a place to stay for the night, but this creepy place stood before him.

Before he could ask “This is Maria’s place the dol-“ The women named Maria entered the room. She set a handful of clothes on a large textile table along with some knives, scissors and some large sharp looking sewing needles.

“What a splendid day, two for the, count them.” She pointed towards Jonathan “One” Then at Melanie “Two! Now , this little boy has already picked out his outfit, but what about our lovely miss?” Maria took Melanies chin in her hand and pulled it around.

“Can I ask what you are actually going to do to us, ever since I have gotten here, the mind has been a little big foggy and I just can’t put it together. You know, my fate, what may it be?” She turned to Jonathan with that pleasant smile grew to one of sinister.

Maria picked up the scissors and paced back and forth cutting the air in sharp erratic motions. “Dolls are my specialty. They come here, first with the ability to move and speak, but we quickly correct that, yes we do.” She turned to Jonathan snapping the scissors at him “ Then we dress them , pose them and keep them well rested. Of course we must maintain their condition, no one likes and old ragged doll, do they? But you” The scissors traced his chest and down to the top of this pants. “Your special arent you, Your nerves must be continuously snipped and snapped.” Breath, heart beats, time its self stopped for a moment as Jonathan realized what she was saying.

“All those things in the hall ways?” he questioned. Maria looked away from them. Slowly on her heels she turned.

“It takes some time and it is messy. I have gotten very very good. It is sort of a meditate process now, you know like chopping onions or washing dishes” she giggled turning back on her heels and walking toward the door way “Must find some clothes for our new visitor, hang around!” The bad pun made her chuckled even louder as she took her leave. Jonathan turned to Melanie.

“We gotta get out of here”

“Don’t worry sweets, I shall alleviate our stresses today” His own hands went to the cuffs that hung him from a long rod that extended from the ceiling. She could hang at least 20 people here he thought. Again the mad women returned with even more clothes.

She walked up to Melanie and felt up her body from head to toe then step back “So, he said Melanie? What would you like to be?” She thought for a moment then snapped her fingers “Of course, a school girl, we can put your pretty long black hair in some pigtails or a pony tail, wouldn’t that be cute.” Her eyes drifted over to Jonathan waist. “You know your partner over there is already wearing something. Maybe you would like to as well?” For the first time Jonathan saw a bit of fear in Melanie’s face as the thoughts crossed her mind “A diapered school girl, how adorable” The phrase dripped with venom. “I could make you two eternal lovers, caught in dance of endless romance” Melanie’s eyes went to his and he could of swore that she might, even for a moment thought that it could be their fate and she would be okay with it. A sharp intake of breath and a shake of the head was her next response.

“You better watch your self bitch. That is a dangerous proposal” It was a feebly attempt, but it was attempted and laughed off by their captor.

“I’ll do you first then” Her hands went to Melanie’s legs and drew up between them “Small diapers for you sweetie” With that she exited the room once again.

“You have a plan?”

“Fuck off, I am just about- “ Melanie’s hands spring free and she dropped down “-to get it” She reached up next and undid Jonathan cuffs. “You are so lucky I am here, you have no idea the pain I saved you”

Jonathan bowed “I really appreciate it,but we have to do something about this chick, have you seen all the “dolls” she has?” He was hazy when being pulled through the halls, but he could remember the sheer amount of figures they had passed.

“Don’t get your diapers in a bunch, I will take care of Maria, you just get to the front entrance. Go through these doors and there is a stair cases like in that movie Scarface, just take them to the door and your good to go”

Jonathan moved toward the door again thanking her but stopped right before “Wait, Scarface, how the hell do you know about that ?”

He ran for the entrance but remembered that his sword was still somewhere in the manor. He could feel it call for him. It pulled at him. He must of been close to it when they were hanging as he didn’t notice it. Crashing came from down the hallway and he sprinted back to the torture room. It wasn’t inside so he continued to the next door. The pull was gone. Jackpot. The room was filled with clothes, items, weapons and trinkets collected from all her victims. There against the wall it sat. He retrieved it and made his way back to the hall.

“Oh deary, what do we have here?” Maria caught sight of him as she was making her way to all the noise Melanie was causing. She held her smile and her eyes darted up and down him. “You two are in big trouble, yes” she began pulling something from her sleeve “you” the handle fit perfectly in her dainty fingers, the sheers which was stored impossibly in her sleeve was round and had no point. “are.” She swung it in the air a few times to check the balance and then opened her fingers and allowed the blades to separate and then snap together in a silent fluid motion. She approached with even heel to toe steps. First at a slow pace then rapidly building. She herself seemed like a doll with limited range of motion. She swung at him and he ducked and retreated drawing his blade. It hummed in his hands and glowed blue. She came at him again and he parried the best he could. The edges of her sheers were blades and each time it collided with his it slid up and down dangerously close to his head or feet. Maria glided with clockwork motions snapping and slicing all with a large teethy grin on her face. Light laughter escaped her as she stepped back holding the sheers like it was a sabre.

“I find this funny too” Jonathan gave a slight grin “But, all fun must end” he listend for Melanie somewhere.

Maria burst into a fit of laughter. “You are too adorable. My my, I think you might of forgot someone. She has been waiting to see you in your new outfit” Her eyes rose above him and he turned.

“You have to be kidding me” The large doll stood behind him. “dammit, I just can’t get away from you can I?” How did this thing move around so silently? It’s hand moved to grab him like last time, but he dodged under its skirt and took off down the large white marble halls. It followed with a near silent foot steps. Maria’s mary jane heels clicked loud through the halls catching up as he crossed into the main entrance where the stairs resided. Melanie came from the other direction. Covered in blood and clearly having too much fun.

“Hey, I told you to leave”

“You did, couldn’t leave with out this” He wagged the blade in front of her. Her eyes followed it back and forth.

Maria clip clopped into sight with the doll following her “You know Melanie, you sure have made a mess of things” She turned the sheers admiring their reflection “You two, after I take care of you, that kingdom of yours will be my next place to collect. As it looks like I have some dolls to replace. Rest their plastic souls” she started to approach “I was here before you Melanie, and I will be here after you. The magic that runs through this land is much more then your fading mist”

“We will see about that” Melanie pushed past Jonathan.
