A Vampire Saved My Life! GREAT! - But at what cost? ~1~

"Okay, I'll believe you." She smiled and pulled him down to her lips, relishing in the feeling of him close to her.

The next day and night Natasha had been alone, Matic had to tend to all the business, trying to get it all perfect for tonight. So she was left alone to do what she please, which ended up taking her canvas and paint down to the garden and painting the birds, unfortunately it was really hard because they wouldn't stay still. Eventually she gave up and started back to her room, by that time it was late after noon, when she walked into her room she was greeted by too panicky woman, Nancy and Cara.
"Where have you been! You're filthy! We need to get you ready for the coronation!"
"Isn't that at like midnight?"
"Yes, and we have so little time!" Nancy said as she gripped her wrist and pulled her into the wash room, she had a wash cloth in her hand before Natasha even saw her pick it up. Nancy quickly let the water wash over the cloth and then started scrubbing Natasha's skin.
"OW! Would you stop? I can clean my self."
"Fine, but hurry." Nancy let Natasha take the cloth. Natasha looked into the mirror, and cleaned off the paint that always some how got sprinkled all over her. When she finally turned to Nancy and smiled. Nancy just pushed her out of the bathroom. She forced her to a stool and pushed down to sit on it. Instantly Cara attacked her hair with a curling iron and comb. While Nancy rushed to the table and back again with foundation. "Close your eyes." Natasha did as she felt the sponge rub against her skin gently. She felt tired after studying the bird and trying to secretly chase them around. Even just the simple act of closing her eyes threatened to subdue her into sleep. She felt a sudden sharp pinch in her arm. "Don’t you dare fall asleep on me. I have to have you wake to do this." She pinched her again when Natasha didn't answer.
"Okay! I get it!" She felt the sponge on her face again and Natasha tried to forced herself to stay awake.
"Do you want some coffee?" It was Cara that spoke.
"Actually that would be great!"
"Alright, I need the iron to heat up a bit more so I'll go get you one." Cara left the room and minuets later came back with a cart with a coffee maker and flavors on it. "So what would you like?"
"Um. Do you have French vanilla?" The woman set to work and with in seconds she had a big mug of hot French vanilla coffee in her hands. She sipped it as Nancy gave up on her make up and when to do a pedicure on her feet. It felt so good! When she was finished her coffee Nancy started her manicure.
"So I see you got a ring!" Natasha smiled as she looked down at it. "Its beautiful! Cara come look at this!" Cara leaned over and looked at the ring.
"Oh wow! He must really love you to give you a rock like that!"
"It was his mothers."
"Oh, wow. Master Matic gave you his mothers ring?! THE ring?"
"What do you mean? Matic said that his mother gave him the ring to give to the woman he loved." The two maids looked at each other with shocked looks, the quickly turned back to what they were doing.
"Wait, what did you mean, by THE ring?" They didn't answer her. "Nancy, Cara! Tell me!" Cara looked at Nancy.
"She has a right to know."
"But the master should be the one to tell her, not us."
"Tell me what?" Nancy sighed and nodded to Cara to just tell her.
"Well before his mother died, she gave him that ring and told him that it was for the person that he would fall in love with."
"Yea, that’s what he told me."
"However the ring its self is…"
"What?"
"Is her love." Natasha frowned.
"What do you mean?"
"Well no one knows who she really fell in love with, but when he left her and betrayed her she cut out her love and placed it with in that ring." Natasha looked at the ring on her hand.
"So it has her love in it, so what?"
"Don’t you get it? Who ever is wearing the ring can't help but love the person that gave it to them. The feelings that you're feeling might not be your own, they could be the rings." Natasha laughed.
"That’s rediculas! I loved him before he ever put the ring on me, and I still love him the same way! With all my heart. The ring couldn't have added more to my love for him than it already is." Cara shrugged.
"Alright… and well it is just a myth. I'm sure your right. The ring is just a ring."
"Right, and he gave it too me out of respect and love for his mother. Not because he thought he would loose me, or that I didn't love him." The two maids didn't say anything as they continued their work. A few minuets passed then Nancy spoke up.
"I need to wax your legs." Natasha cringed, but nodded. Moments later she had the warm wax spread over her legs.
"SH.IT! OW! FU,cK! HOLY!" Each strip felt like it was pulling off her skin. After four minuets of her consecutive swearing her right leg was finally done. "You can leave the other leg, honest! He likes one leg hairy and one smooth! Please! You really don’t have to!" Natasha squirmed in the chair trying to get up.
"Natasha! Stay still or I'm going to burn you!" Cara said from behind her. Natasha forced herself to stay still.
"It's really not that bad." Nancy said while spreading more of the wax on to her left leg.
"AH! To you maybe!" Nancy just smiled as she smoothed the paper across the wax.
"Ready?" Before Natasha could answer it was pulled off.
"OWW!" The swearing continued as Nancy worked. When she was finally done, the warm wet towel against her legs whipping away any stickiness the wax had left felt like heaven. Nancy ran her hand up her left leg.
"Smooth as butter!"
"Yea, cuz it's my blood! You took all the skin!" Nancy just laughed. As she garbaged the strips and put away the excess wax. Nancy returned with lotion and rubbed her legs down. Then she got up and grabbed clear nail polish. She took Natasha's feet and quickly but neatly did a coat on them, then took her hands and did the same.
"How's the hair coming?"
"Almost done curling it." Cara spoke up from her left side. Nancy grabbed the foundation again.
"Alright, let's get your make up finished." She pressed the sponge to the side of her face and started to blend the makeup. When she was finished with that she pulled out more and more make up till Natasha was completely at a loss to what she was doing to her face. She felt like she had to look like a clown by now. However she stayed silent as the two woman worked. Cara grabbed the bobby pins and felt her hair being pulled half up.
"How's it going ladies?" It was Sarah.
"Good. Were going to need another hour, maybe."
"Another hour!?" Natasha spoke up at Nancy applied blush to her cheeks.
"Well it wouldn't have been another hour if we could have found you!" Natasha watched as Sarah circled her.
"Looks good girls. Well the guests are just starting to arrive."
"What time is it?" Natasha asked, looked up at Sarah, who looked to the far wall where there was a clock.
"10."
"10!?... wow." The time had gone by fast!
"Close your eyes." Nancy spoke and Natasha did as she asked, she felt the brush glide across her eye lids. Then eye liner then more brush.
"Open." Mascara. "Close." The other eye now. "Open." More mascara. Nancy stepped back and looked at the eyes. "Close." More of the brush. "Open." Nancy nodded her satisfaction, then turned to her lips. She applied the lip liner then the lip stick and gloss. "Press." Natasha pressed her lips together. "Open. Wha! Close! You have nasty breath! Go wash your teeth!" Natasha just smiled.
"Can I go Cara?"
"No, just one second." Cara walked over to the mirror in the room and covered it, then walked to the bathroom and covered the large mirror there are well, both with sheets from the bed.
"Now?"
"Go a head, but don’t you dare even try and look at your self. You cant see till were finished.
"Alright." Natasha walked to the bathroom and brushed her teeth then walked out, smiled a toothy smile and sat back down in the chair. Cara started in on the front of her, fixing her bangs then stepped back and smiled.
"Done."
"Alright, dress time." Natasha got up from the chair and turned around to see Nancy had placed all her clothing that she was to wear out on the bed. Natasha smiled as she looked at the dress, but then frowned as she was what was next to it. Way to lacy underwear, as well as a corset.
"I'll wear the dress, and maybe the corset, but no way in h.ell am I wearing those panties." Nancy picked them up and looked at the tiny piece of fabric, frowning.
"What's wrong with them?"
"They're just too…"
"Sex.y?" Natasha nodded.
"Oh come one, its not like any one is going to see them." Natasha looked at the underwear and considered. They really were kindda cute. Natasha smiled as she thought about what Matic would say if he saw her in that. "AH! She smiled! She's wearing them!" Nancy spoke, laughing as she threw them toward her. Both Nancy and Cara turned their back to her.
"Put them on."
"What!"
"Put them on, were not watching."
"No way!"
"Alright, we can help!" Nancy started to turn toward her.
"NO! I'll put them on." Nancy smirked as she turned around again. Natasha cautiously pulled down her pants and panties then put on the skimpy fabric. Surprisingly they were quite comfortable.
"So? How are they?" Cara asked, still not turning around.
"They're good… I guess." The two turned and smiled. Nancy grabbed the corset and started to wrap it around her. Cara undid her bra, and Natasha squealed as she did so, even if the corset was covering her. They did up the corset tighter then they had before as Natasha complained through every tug and pull.
"Alright, all done with the corset. Can you breath?"
"Just barely."
"Good, that’s all you need." Nancy said while smiling and walking over to the bed and picking up the dress. She unzipped it and pulled it over Natasha's head, very gently, making sure she didn't disrupt the hair, or do anything to her make up. The dress glided over her form perfectly. Cara zipped it up smoothly and then both woman stepped back and admired their handy work.
"Beautiful."
"Exquisite!"
"ABSOULUTLY MARVELIOUS!" Sarah spoke up, and Natasha turned slightly, forgetting the woman was still in the room.
"So can I see?" Nancy nodded and Cara pranced over to the full length mirror. She pulled the sheet away and Natasha stepped into view. She literally stopped breathing as she stared at the stunning stranger before her. Her hair was perfectly done up, and her make up made her look like she was glowing. Then the dress made her look like she was supper model.
"Ah! We are missing something, are we not?" Sarah spoke up behind her and Natasha shifted her eye sight away from her to the woman behind her. She pulled something out around her and placed it gently on Natasha's neck. The weight of it surprised her, because it was so big and beautiful that she thought it would weigh a lot more than it did on her shoulders. It was beautiful, and perfect. Matic wasn't going to recognize her.
