Diagnosed - part 2

[PART  2]

There was no doubt about it. She was in charge of her older sister, but it had been a mistake. Surely there was a way to modify the papers, but she'd have to wait for her mother to come back home. She was a disaster with that whole "official documents" thing.  She'd already screwed up once, and she didn't want to make another mistake.

"You have to fix this shit!" Erin screamed hysterically from the table top "There's no way i'm going to be owned by you!". She had thought many times of who should have been her caretaker, and she had run all her friends in her mind, but she had seen how they treated shrinkies, and she didn't think she would trust them now that she was one of them. Her only options would be family members, and her mother was the only viable solution. Never in her life she would have entrusted her well-being to Rachel. "You hear me?" she screamed again, since her sister didn't give any sign of acknowledgement, she was still reading the pamphlet "Move your ass and do some phone calls! DO YOU HEAR ME!" She used her angriest tone, and she did provoke an effect in Rachel, although not what she expected. "SHUT UP! I'M TRYING TO FOCUS HERE!" Rachel was panicking, so the tone of her voice was particularly loud. 

She didn't expect what happened next. She was ready to say she was sorry, but she saw the expression in Erin's eyes. For the first time, her big sister was afraid of her. And she had all the rights to be. She could be easily kept in the palm of her hand. A wicked thought ran through her mind. What if she didn't want to sign her ownership to their mom? What if she kept her? Too bad the woman would never allow it. 

At the same time, Erin was experiencing the same range of thoughts, but unfortunately for her, she was on the opposite side. For the first time, she impacted with the realization that her words wouldn't have Rachel react the way she'd always had. Now that she was a fraction of her size, it was just a matter of time before the girl would notice how easy would be for her to overpower her. "D-Don't you use that tone with me you stupid cow!" She tried to regain composture, but the uncertainty in her words had been too noticeable. "Or what?" Rachel thought, but she kept it to herself. "Sorry" she muttered, but something had already changed. "Good." Erin said out loud. "Now help me back to my room, let's wait for mom to come home and fix this mess you made".

Their mom did come back, indeed, but things had unfolded differently from how they both had pictured them. There was a briefly emotional moment; the woman wasn't ready to see her daughter like that; they weren't supposed to deliver her for about two more days, or she would have made sure to be at home to wait for her. She had cried for a while, knowing that things had changed forever, but when she heard that Rachel had signed the ownership papers, she surprised both her children saying "Good. I was actually going to ask if you wanted to in the first place". Both girls had their mouths agape, they literally couldn't believe what the woman had just said. "You can't be serious mom!" Erin protested from inside her cage, while Rachel simply didn't say anything. "You know, it could be a big proof of responsibility for Rachel" Donna said, like she was speaking of adopting a dog. "What do you think?" she asked her youngest.

Rachel had reclutanlty accepted, while Erin's opinion hadn't even been taken into consideration. The younger sister had moved into her bigger, better lighted room. Erin had always forbad her to take over her room even though she didn't live there anymore, but now she would not be using it for good. "Look at it this way" Rachel had said. "You get to live in here too!". It was true, but she lived in a room that was much more a cage than anything else. 

For about a week, things went business as usual despite the older sister's new size. Erin would boss Rachel around, having her serve her meals and generally tend to her every need. The younger girl wasn't happy about her role, but she thought it was the least she could do to compensate for her poor sister's condition. Despite her best efforts, Erin's manners never changed. She would keep mistreating her in order to satisfy her whims like the spoiled brat she'd always been. 

Then one afternoon everything changed. It all started with the courier who came to recollect the makeshift room where Erin was. This caught both girls by surprise, they had both forgotten that they were supposed to return the cage, and Rachel asked the guy if there was a way she could hold it for some time more. To her and Erin's dismay, it was impossible. She was supposed to communicate it to the hospital at least 4 days earlier, and even then, there would have been a very high fee to pay. Erin was furious. That place had all the comfort she needed. There was even a tiny shower! She had refused to leave her makeshift room by any means necessary, and Rachel didn't know what to do. The courier was getting impatient, so she decided to take matters in her own hands quite literally, and picked up her angry sister. "Listen, don't make a scene, ok?" She went to the door with Erin in her hand who kept kicking and screaming, and the cage in the other, since she could handle it like a suitcase. She gave the guy the cage, and was about to close the door, when the courier said "I'll need the hospital gown, too". Rachel and Erin looked at each other, and noticed that the courier was looking. He was probably looking forward to see Erin naked, but there was no way that was happening. "Excuse me" Rachel closed the door. "Stop! STOP!" Erin shouted as her sister's oversized fingers daunted through her hospital gown. "Oh come on don't be a brat" Rachel scoffed. She easily stripped Erin down, and put her in her back pocket, so she would be out of the courier's sight. The naked girl kept protesting, but Rachel handed the man the dress, and slammed the door. "Unbelievable" she said out loud, thinking of how unprofessional it was for somebody like that to linger forward to look at a naked tiny, no matter how beautiful she was.

When Rachel fished her sister's tiny frame from her pocket, she saw how furious she was. "What's with the pout?" she asked, actually surprised. She had protected her from that pervert, yet the girl was mad at her. It turned out that Erin hated being naked, and hated her for putting her "so close to her fat ass". And now she was screaming that it was all her fault that she didn't have a home where to sleep. That was the last straw. Without saying a word, Rachel stormed to her room and put her on her desk. "There. stay here while i go to the store and get you a new one." She put on a fresh pair of socks, her sneakers, and left without saying a word.

Erin sat there, naked on her sister's desk. The only way she could tell the time was the digital watch on her old bedstand. More than two hours had passed, and while she was initally sorry for how she'd treated Rachel, over the course of the afternoon she became angrier and angrier at her. She hoped her mom would come home to see the state Erin had left her in, but her hopes were unfulfilled. Rachel came back more than two hours later. She heard her stomping through the house and when she entered her room she had a big gift box in her hands. It wasn't enough. She yelled at her for leaving her like that for so long. She was lucky it wasn't cold or she would have frozen to death. 

Rachel simply ignored her, and presented her gift. "Ta-dah" she said. "I even had it packed for you". Erin calmed down. Rachel had actually gone all the way to the store just for her, so she stopped yelling, actually feeling a bit guilty about it too. "Although i think you're a bit too small for the unpacking" Rachel snickered. She removed her shoes, and after sitting on her bed, she started unwrapping the box. Erin's expression changed again when she realized what Rachel had bought her. It was a hamster cage. "You stupid bitch!" She yelled. She was furious. "Do you really think i'll live  in there? Fuck you, this is not funny!". 

But it was funny for Rachel. She simply put the cage on the table where Erin's old "room" had been, and left. When their mom came back home, she went to say hi to her older daughter, and snickered when she saw what Rachel had bought for her. "Oh, you" she laughed, much to Erin's dismay. She had hoped that at least their mom would say something for her, but she had become so distant since when she'd shrunken. "Why is she naked?" She had asked Rachel. "They collected her silly gown too" the girl answered, and apparently it was enough to satisfy the woman's curiosity.

After dinner, Rachel prepared for bed. Erin wasn't angry anymore. She was naked like an animal, and afraid she would really have to spend the night inside the hamster cage. Why was her sister being so cruel to her? "Rach, please" She said, whimpering as the girl slipped on her pijama. "It's getting cold. Where will i sleep?". Rachel gave her a cold look. "Oh, so now it's -please- right?" She stepped closer to the cage. She grabbed her sister in her hand, and with the other one she slipped off one of her yellow socks. "I think this will keep you warm for the night" she said as she put both things into the cage, then locked it from outside. Erin couldn't believe how she was treated. She begged to be let out, but her prayer fell to dead ears. Rachel read for a while, then she turned off the light and fell asleep despite her cries for help. 

It was getting cold. Erin never thought she would actually consider using the dirty sock as a blanket, but she eventually did. She couldn't believe what she was doing. She lifted the opening, and put her body inside. It was disgusting, but it was a matter of survival. Crying, she fell asleep.

"Wakey wakey" Rachel woke her up. It was past noon. "See? It wasn't so bad, was it?" She mocked her, while she was still groggy from the night she'd passed in the dirty sock. "I'm out for the day, need anything from the big scary world?" Erin didn't know what to say. Rachel spoke to her like she wasn't forcing her to live like a pet. "Rach..." she muttered. "Please i need something better" she was basically begging "I can't live in a cage". Rachel gave her a stern look. "Listen, do you have any idea how much a mini home costs? This was all i could afford right now. Plus, i think it suits you better! You have no idea how cute you look in there". Erin was distraught. She didn't even mention the fact that her "bed" was an used sock, since she thought it would be useless right now. "So, unless there's nothing else..." Erin noticed that her hair was tucked in a braid, which meant that she was leaving for volleyball practice. It meant that she would have more than two hours to spend on her own. "There is something" She said. "Can i have my phone? So i can watch some netflix or something". Rachel considered it for a second. "Sure. I'll get it for you. But you'll do something for me tonight, ok?" Erin didn't have much choice. She blindly agreed to the terms, and Rachel put her old smartphone in the cage with her. "Bye" she said as she grabbed her duffle bag and left. It took Erin at least twenty minutes to figure out a way to unlock her screen, and when she managed, she realized that her battery was below 30%. "Great" she thought. She watched a few episodes for the time that she had, and for the rest of the day she waited for Rachel to return home.

"Aaw" Rachel said as she entered her room and saw her phone with the black screen  "You were waiting for me!" It was true, but it wasn't because she wanted to. She didn't have any alternatives. She wanted to yell at her, but she knew it'd only make things worse. She bit her tongue, and just waited. "Damn, i'm starving" Rachel said. "I'll grab something to eat, then we'll watch some TV, ok?" As if she had a choice. Erin silently nodded. "Oh, and you'll rub my feet". Erin froze. She was going to protest, but before she could say anything, Rachel stopped her as soon as she saw her expression. "You agreed to do something for me, remember?" she said as she tapped her head with her index finger. "I was going to ask you to rub my back, but you're too small for that. So, well'have to settle for my feet". She saw the defeat in her sister's eyes and added "Don't worry, i did take a shower" She left Erin alone, with the anticipation of what was going to come.

When she came back, she unceremoniously dropped Erin on her bed, and started choosing a movie. It was clear that Erin had no choice in the matter. When she was satisfied, she took off her socks, and put her close to her bare feet. It was true, she had showered. But mixed to the soap, Erin could clearly distinguish the same smell that she'd spent that night with. "Go on" Rachel encouraged her. She was disgusted, but she was starting to be afraid of Rachel. Battling the voice inside her head that told her to refuse, she put her hands on the bottom of Rachel's bare foot, and started kneading. From her perspective she couldn't see it, but Rachel had the biggest smile she'd ever had on her face.
