Guilty x Creatures Ch. 08

Fiona's eyes tightened further as Anton looked away from her and took another short sip from his mug.

"...I have no reason, or intention to lie to either one of you. There is nothing for me to gain by lying to you. And if I'm being completely honest, I find lying to be distasteful and I simply prefer not to do it at all... Its something that just makes everything too easy... That being said though, I'm under no obligation to tell you the truth. And my doing so is a complete courtesy to you. And one that I expect you to return" explained Anton as he looked back and forth between the dark elves "When you ask me a question, I will tell you the truth. If you ask a question that I don't have an answer for, then that is what I will tell you; I don't have an answer for this question. I will not lie to you. And you can trust me when I say that. ...Whether you do so or not, is your own decision of course. I just want you to know that you can. And in exchange, I want the same from both of you. When I ask either of you a question I'm going to trust that you are telling the truth as well. If I ask you a question that you feel you can't or don't want to answer, then I'm fine with that as an answer. I would rather hear that you can't, or don't want to answer the question, than to be lied to... I feel this is fair, and I hope that you both agree"

The dark elves looked at one another and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, good" nodded Anton as he set his mug down and rose from his seat.

Kianna kept her ears laid flat as Anton came around the side of the table and took hold of her chin. She stayed still and didn't resist as he lifted her chin up to unclasp the face-plate from her head-harness and gently pull her gag free of her mouth. She flexed her jaw a bit and licked her lips as she watched Anton set the gag down to the side of her on the tabletop.

"Thank you!" she whispered as she felt him step around behind her and move towards her sister "...Master"

Anton stopped in between the two dark elves and turned back to look at Kianna.

"You're welcome" he said with a grin.

Fiona immediately began to glare at her sister while Kianna lowered her head sheepishly and stared at the heavy damage her teeth had done to the rubber gag.

Despite the irritation in her eyes, Fiona offered no resistance as Anton lifted her chin and unclasped her face-plate as well. Unlike the previous time, Anton remained gentle as he slowly removed the gag from her mouth.

Fiona shifted her newly freed jaw back and forth a bit before glancing up at Anton.

"...Thanks" she mumbled under her breath as she looked away from both him and her sister.

"Hm" nodded Anton as he set the gag down on the table "It's a start"

Fiona clenched her teeth in annoyance as she turned her head just enough to give Anton's back a sideways glare while he made his way back to his seat.

"Oh! I nearly forgot!" exclaimed Anton as he stopped midway around the table. Turning on his heel he quickly made his way over to the door at the far end of the kitchen.

The dark elves both twisted in their seats and turned their heads to follow him as he went.

"Molly!" called Anton as he opened the door and stuck his head outside "Come here girl!"

The frantic jingling of dog tags marked the arrival of a happy looking pomeranian that bounced into the house and immediately began to jump up on her hind legs and yip for Anton's attention.

"Molly!" cried both of the dark elves at the same time.

The fluffy little dog turned to them and dropped down to all fours as she folded her ears back aggressively and began to bark as menacingly as she could. The thick hairs on the back of her neck stood up in warning as the little dog took a protective stance in front of Anton.

"What the Hell!?" cried Fiona as her own ears pointed themselves straight back behind her head "You little traitor!"

"She knows who's in charge now!" laughed Anton as he bent down and began to pet the little dog.

Molly rolled onto her back and made happy sounding growling noises as she got her belly rubbed. She flipped back over instantly and followed Anton as he stood up.

Still chuckling, Anton crossed over to the counter-top and picked up a large mixing bowl and a plate of food before continuing on his way back to the table.

The dark elves both became completely fixated on what he was carrying as he came around to his chair and set everything down next to the laptop.

Anton sat down with a sigh and pulled the plate to his side. The plate held a few sausage links and a piece of toast with a fried egg on top. There was also a small cup of syrup for dipping. The large bowl had a spoon sitting in it and was filled with a sweet smelling porridge that was lightly steaming.

Molly jumped up into his lap and laid down as he took his seat. She raised her head up and started wagging her tail as Anton scratched her behind the ears.

Both of the dark elves were glaring at the little dog who had clearly chosen her new master.

"Would you like to trade places with her?" asked Anton as he smiled at Kianna.

"Yeah, kinda..." mumbled Kianna, after a moment her eyes went wide and her ears pointed themselves straight upwards as an embarrassed blush spread across her face "I, I mean!"

"Are you serious..." grumbled Fiona as she looked away and shook her head in frustration "You stupid bitch..."

"Shut up Fiona!" growled Kianna through her teeth.

Anton chuckled as he took a sip from his mug.

Fuming, the two dark elves now had their ears pointed straight back as they stared each other down. Though initially focused on each other, their attention immediately shifted over to Anton as he lifted a sausage link off of his plate.

Anton tore off a tiny chunk of the sausage link and offered it to Molly. The little dog grunted happily and licked it out of his fingers before settling down again.

Both Fiona and Kianna had pointed their ears straight upwards as they followed the sausage link with their eyes. Noticing this, Anton began to toy with them by slowly moving the sausage link back and forth as well as up and down.

"...Maybe we should get to the food first" he mumbled as he watched Fiona hungrily lick her lips "Conversation does usually flow better with a full belly..."

As if on cue, Kianna's stomach growled loud enough to be heard from across the table. She grimaced in pain as she stared longingly at the sausage link and began to drool.

"Hey, hey!" said Anton as he snapped his fingers at her "I'm not giving you any sausage so quick that!"

"Why not!" cried Fiona as a trail of spittle ran down her chin as well.

"Because neither of you have eaten anything in over 2 days. And some greasy sausage is not going to do your systems any favors right now" explained Anton as he set the sausage link down "Bread and heavy grains will be too hard on you as well. I've made this for you, it'll help you get back to normal"

Anton indicated the bowl of porridge and both of the dark elves craned their necks upwards in an attempt to better see the bowls contents.

"...This is bullshit!" muttered Fiona as she glared at the bowl "We have to watch you eat a feast and all we get is some slimy gruel!"

Anton went to speak but was stopped short as Kianna answered before him.

"Seriously! You're gonna complain right now!" chastised Kianna as she shook her head "You do realize that we could still be sitting in a cage and starving right now! Right!?"

"I'd almost rather do that than sit here and smell his food while we eat gruel!" muttered Fiona as she looked away and glared at nothing.

"You couldn't even eat that stuff if he gave it to you!" exclaimed Kianna as she looked over at Anton's plate "He just said it'll make you sick!"

"And you believe that, why!?" mocked Fiona as she rolled her eyes "He's just tying to torture us... Stop being stupid..."

"No, he's not Fiona" sighed Kianna as she looked away from her sister and shook her head.

"...What makes you so sure about that?" asked Anton as he watched Kianna blink and turn towards him "It's a reasonable theory. How do you know she's not on to something?"

"You, because you just said..." began Kianna, her demeanor becoming sheepish as she found herself being put on the spot "You just said we'd get sick!"

"I did, and you will" nodded Anton "But I'd like to know why you believe that?"

"...Cause, I, ...trust you" explained Kianna as she dropped her eyes to the table "...I guess"

"I see" nodded Anton as he lifted his mug to his face "Good!"

All three went silent for a moment as Anton took another sip of his coffee.

"...Alright then" said Anton as he set his mug back down and tapped the dog in his lap on the head "Molly, up!"

The little dog became alert and leaped down from his lap an instant before Anton rose from his seat.

Kianna cringed back in uncertainty as Anton came around the side of the table and stood beside her. The nervous dark elf went wide eyed and pulled back as far as her chain would allow as Anton swung his arm out in front of her and pointed down at the table.

"You will stay right here at the table until our conversation is over" declared Anton as he tapped at the table-top with his index finger "Is that clear?"

"I, y-yes!" stammered Kianna as she blinked in surprise.

"Good" said Anton as he grinned at her "Now c'mere, and hold still"

Kianna was startled but didn't resist as Anton took hold of her head-harness and pulled her in closer to himself.

"W-what are you doing!?" she cried as Anton's hands began to move about around her face.

"Hm, I'm trusting you" explained Anton as he began to unbuckle her head-harness.

Kianna froze and let herself be pulled back and forth as Anton slipped the leather straps away from her head. She did nothing as Anton dropped the head-harness on the table next to her gag and began to run his fingers through her hair in an effort to straighten it back out.

"...Why?" she whispered as Anton unclipped the chain from her shoulder-harness.

"Because trust only works when it goes both ways" explained Anton as he took hold of her shoulders and spun her around in her chair before beginning to unfasten the box-tie style armbinder that held her hands and arms folded in place behind her back "And besides, how else are you going to eat?"

Kianna pointed her ears straight up and bit her lower lip in anticipation as she held herself as still as she could.

Fiona remained motionless and watched out of the corner of her eye as her sisters armbinder was detached from her shoulder-harness and her limbs came one step closer to being set free.

"...Alright, here we go" mumbled Anton as he unbuckled the last straps that held the armbinder in place. He then carefully slipped the leather binder down and off before tossing it onto the table with the gag.

Kianna winced and groaned as Anton helped her shift her arms forward and lay them out on the table.

"Give it a second or two before you try to move anything other than your fingers" said Anton as he watched Kianna tentatively flex her hands.

The dark elf nodded absently as she became completely focused on moving her newly freed fingers.

"...What about me?" asked Fiona as she continued to watch her sister out of the corner of her eye.

Anton looked down at her and cocked his eyebrow.

"You'll get your arms back when you earn them" he said as he turned away from her and made his way back towards his seat.

Kianna chuckled as her sister glared down at the table and grit her teeth.

"Let's get things moving along" said Anton as he stopped around the side of the table and grabbed the two water bottles "Here, can you hand one of these to your sister please"

Anton placed the water bottles in front of Kianna and the gleeful dark elf took hold of them in both of her hands. Pulling one to herself, she slid the other one across the table and planted it in front of Fiona. Both of the dark elves immediately began to take long sips through the straws and shivered as the cool water seeped into their bodies.

"Take it easy with those" mumbled Anton as he took his seat and reached out to catch Molly as she jumped up into his lap.

Kianna watched him rub the little dogs ears for a moment before her eyes shifted to the bowl sitting across from her and just out of her reach. Pulling her arms in to her chest and tucking her closed fists in under her chin she flattened her ears back behind her head as she hunched in on herself.

"Uh, please, Master!" she whined pitifully as she let her eyes become wide and pleading "Can I please have some food! I'm really, really hungry!"

"Oh you've gotta be kidding me!" muttered Fiona as she looked away and shook her head in frustration.

Kianna remained completely still as Anton chuckled and shook his head as well.

"Oh, well now! How about this! Does my little dark elf really think that if she acts cute enough she can already play me!?" exclaimed Anton as he rested his folded arms on the table and leaned towards Kianna "Cheeky little thing now aren't you!?"

"...No, I'm not acting!" grumbled Kianna as she dropped her eyes to the table in embarrassment and shook her head softly "I'm serious! I really am hungry!"

"Hm, right! Well just so you know!" said Anton as he slid the bowl across the table and placed it right in front of her "That kind of act isn't going to work every time!"

"Thank you!" cried Kianna as she grabbed the bowl and pulled it in close to herself.

The dark elf had a questioning expression on her face as she paused to look down into the bowl. Leaning in close, she sniffed once at the yellow colored porridge-like gruel. Her eyes instantly went wide as her nose was filled with the sweet aroma and grabbing the spoon sitting in the bowl, she immediately began to devour the porridge.

"...You better not choke yourself Kianna" mumbled Anton as he watched her inhale her food without pause.

Fiona was clearly intrigued as she leaned towards her sister and lightly sniffed at the air.

"...Is it good?" she asked as she reached the end of her chain.

"Mm hm!" mumbled Kianna around a mouthful of the porridge.

"I wanna try it!" muttered Fiona as her ears pointed themselves straight upwards "Let me have some!"

Kianna shook her head as she swallowed.

"No" she said in a flat tone as she quickly ate another bite.

Fiona blinked in surprise and then glared at her sister.

"C'mon! You're not gonna eat all of it!" she exclaimed as she tugged on her chain "Let me have some too!"

Kianna swallowed the mouthful she was eating before turning to her sister.

"No!" she said again as she narrowed her eyes in annoyance "You can't use a spoon, and I'm not letting you put your face in my food!"

"...Are you serious!?" exclaimed Fiona as she pointed her ears straight back "Just feed me some then!"

"Why should I?" declared Kianna as she ate another bite.

"Why!? Cause I'm your sister dammit! You can't just let me starve!" cried Fiona as she glared angrily "C'mon! Just help me out! Please!"

"Humph! The last time I helped you! You left me to get punished for it!" growled Kianna as she turned away from her "...And besides! You're the only reason we're even in this mess!"

"...Oh no! No, no, don't try that Kianna!" snarled Fiona as she pulled against her chain "Do not be that bitch right now!"

Kianna's ears went from a relaxed state to pointed straight back in an instant as she dropped the spoon in the bowl of porridge and exploded out of her chair in a rage. Stumbling forward on her still recovering legs she caught herself by planting her palm on the table in front of Fiona and grabbing the headrest of her sisters chair. Snarling through her teeth she forced her sister to cringe as far back as her chain would allow as she got within inches of her face.

"I just spent the last 2 days tied up, starving, and with my cunt trapped in a living Hell! My poor pussy is still vibrating!" growled Kianna as she loomed over her sister and slowly moved her face in closer and closer "And it's all your fault! It was all because of you! You, and your stupid fucking plans!"

Fiona's shock was clear on her face as she stared slack-jawed up at her sister. She swallowed a lump in her throat and hunched down even further as Kianna's irises began to glow with an angry red light.

"And now you want me to help you! When the last time I did you abandoned me!" cried Kianna "Give me one good reason! One good reason! Why I should ever help a stupid, selfish, stubborn little bitch like you! Ever again!?"

Too afraid to even breathe, Fiona remained completely frozen as she cowered beneath her sister's fury.

"Well!?" snapped Kianna "Do you have a good reason, or not!?"

"No!" whimpered Fiona as she lowered her ears and cringed into her shoulders "I, I'm sorry!"

Kianna's glowing eyes tightened as she stared down at her sister. With a tired sigh she closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Yeah!" she muttered as she turned away "Yeah you are Fiona!"

Using the table for support Kianna made her way back to her chair and took her seat before going back to her food.

Fiona kept her ears lowered and stayed silent as she eased herself back up to a sitting position. Glancing at Anton, she found him about to take another sip from his mug. He immediately indicated he wasn't going to get involved by raising his eyebrows and looking down into his drink. Hunching her shoulders the chastised dark elf looked down at the table in front of her.

"...This isn't, ...I never wanted this Kianna!" whispered Fiona as her eyes began to grow misty and her voice began to crack "I never wanted you to...! Please, don't hate me! Please! I'm sorry!"

Kianna slowed her pace as she ate in silence. After awhile she glanced at her sister and found the miserable looking dark elf with her head hanging over the table and her entire being seemingly on the verge of collapse. Her heart melting at the sight, she let out a heavy sigh which caused Fiona to flinch in surprise.

"Master" said Kianna as she turned to Anton "Am I gonna be punished again if I help her?"

Fiona's face took on a sickly grimace as she waited for the answer.

"Of course not!" declared Anton as he gave Kianna a pointed look "You weren't punished because you helped her! You were punished because you disobeyed me, and you know that!"

Fiona exhaled in relief and wore a broad smile as she turned to Kianna. Her glee quickly disappeared however as she looked up at the stoic face of her sister.

"...I'm a stupid bitch" whispered Fiona after a moment of silence "And I'm really, really sorry!"

Kianna's expression remained unchanged as she merely stared at her.

"Please!" begged Fiona as she pouted her lower lip and used her puppy dog eyes "I'm really hungry!"

Kianna rolled her eyes and sighed heavily as she lifted a spoon of food to her sisters face.

Fiona moaned in bliss as she frantically chomped down on the spoon and savored the mouthful of food.

"Hmm!" she moaned as Kianna prepared another spoonful for her "That's so good!"

"It really is..." mused Kianna as she looked down into the bowl of porridge "What is this?"

"It's a mixed fruit blend with some Pedialyte and a bit of Grits thrown in. So basically its sort of like a hearty applesauce that has been packed full of electrolytes" explained Anton "It'll rehydrate you as well as give you plenty of carbs and sugars to help jump-start your systems. By the way, there is another bowl of it sitting on the counter over there so there's no reason for you to be stingy with it"

"There is!" exclaimed Kianna as she looked back at the counter and immediately spied the second bowl waiting there.

"Mmph!" grunted Fiona as Kianna yanked the spoon out of her mouth.

"Here!" exclaimed Kianna as she plopped the half eaten bowl down in front of her "You can eat from this one like the bitch you are!"
