sister in training, part 2

No shrinking yet, but i promise it's coming

Part 2

Jade froze. The way Fawn had used that sentence left very little to imagination. 

"W-what about it?" She said, in her least convincing tone. She was aware of how guilty she sounded, but she had been taken off-guard by Fawn's straightforward question.

"You know... I was wondering how it's like to be there. It must be one hell of a place if you have enough money to spend" She was definitely onto her.

"I don't get your point" Jade knew she had to regain control over the situation, but right now she was panicking

"Look, why don't you sit here and we have a little talk? Sister to sister." She pointed at the spot in front of the sofa. "By the way, you look a bit dumb standing there with the peas thawing in your hands". Jade moved mechanically. The threat was implicit but extremely real. She sat on the spot in front of her little sister, waiting to know what she had to say. Without saying a word, Fawn extended her injured leg in front of her, her face grimacing with the expression of the spoiled brat that she was. Without even thinking, Jade put the bag of frozen peas over Fawn's bruise.

"Ow, be careful! You don't want to get on my angry side" She said, enjoying every bit of power she was experiencing. "Sorry" Jade answered, regretting it the second after the word had left her mouth.

"It's ok, I'm a forgiving god" Fawn laughed at her own joke. "Anyway, let's not get around it anymore. As you already guessed, i know what happened in Thailand." Jade had already caught the hint, but hearing Fawn saying this opened a hole of angst in her chest. "I mean, i don't know know. I guess that's just something you and whoever was there know. I just happened to see your bank statements." She interrupted her monologue for a second, wiggling her leg. Jade interpreted it as a "Please hold it" kind of unspoken sign, and grabbed it under the ankle with her idle hand. The smug grin on Fawn's face confirmed her idea. "Anyway" she said again "As i said, I am a forgiving god. So i won't tell mom and dad." Jade smiled. "Thank you! I honestly thought that you wanted to rat me out for a second!" She was sincerely hoping that that would settle it. In the desperation of the moment, she had taken the slightest hint of salvation for the solution. "Yeah, yeah. But it's gonna cost you". Jade was already low on money, but spending something to keep her sister's mouth shut was more than worth the shame to admitting she had wasted all of her college funds to her parents.

"It's ok. How much?" She hoped she wouldn't shoot too high. 

"What? I'm offended! I don't want any money from you! Just your unconditional love." Jade knew she wouldn't get off that easily, so she got ahead and said "...And...?"

"Don't be sassy." Fawn scolded her "But since you insist, i also want  you to do whatever i tell you for a month!" She was practically asking her to be her slave. Well not asking. Telling would have been more correct.  But that was definitely too much. "A month? Let's make that a week" Jade knew how demanding Fawn could get, so the perspective of slaving away for a month was less than appalling.

"Ooooh, I'm sorry. Did you get the impression that you had a saying in this?  Let's make it two months instead!" Fawn was acting way too cocky now, but it was true. She had absolutely zero leverage. "Or, you know... I can always call mom right now and tell her everything". She  pointed at her phone. "No, no, it's ok. Two months". The sound that came out of Fawn's mouth was so acute it hurt Jade's ears. It was the sound of a girl who obtains exactly what she wants. 

"Great, now enough of this thing, go get my flipflops, i want to take a shower." Fawn pulled her leg out of Jade's grip. 

"But you're supposed to keep the ice for at least ten more minutes" Despite everything that was happening, Jade was actually worried about her ankle. "Oh, but you know how granma used to say? A little kiss, and the booboo goes away!" She got her foot close to Jade's face, bent so its upper part was in front of her mouth. "I'm not kissing your damn foot!" Jade pushed it aside with her hand. She started to stand up, as if anything that they'd just talked about meant nothing. "You know, you're not starting off that good" Fawn stopped her using only her words. "You need to make a good impression on your first day, you know?" She put her foot in front of her sister's face for the second time "So get on with it, and be grateful it's not my butt that's aching!". 

Jade needed an extreme effort to do what she had been requested, but she managed to put her head forward and touch her sister's ankle with her lips for half a second, which seemed to make her happy enough.

"Good, now fetch me my flipflops!" Red with embarassment, and without saying a word, Jade stood up, and went to do what she had been requested. She couldn't believe that she was in for two months of this shit. On her way to Fawn's bedroom, her mind raced to what she could have possibly done wrong. She had no idea of how she could have been discovered, or how Fawn had managed to read her bank statements, but for now, her only choice was to acquiesce to her demands. 

It took her five good minutes to find Fawn's sandals in the mess of her room, and on her way back she realized that she had interrupted her own shower in the first place. She decided she wouldn't even talk about it, since she already knew what the answer would be. No way Fawn would let her finish her shower before her in this particular moment.

"Here!" she threw Fawn's flipflops close to her feet.
"Do you expect your queen to put on her shoes all by herself?" Fawn said playfully. Without even protesting, but with a very visible pout, Jade bent over and took a flipflop in her hand. She then grabbed Fawn's ankle, and angrily put the sandal on her foot. She didn't need to look at her sister's face to know that she was smiling ear to ear. While she was putting on the other one, Fawn said to her "I know I said queen, but for some reason i like princess more. I think it suits me better. From now on, that's what you have to call me." Jade didn't respond. She was fuming with impotent rage. Fawn stood up, her leg apparently not bothering her at all. And even though she was at least half a foot shorter than Jade, she felt like she was towering over her. "Now go get your hair dry. I am a merciful princess and I don't want my subjects to catch a cold!" Fawn said, waving her hand in the direction of Jade's bedroom, in a  mock of the regal movements of a cartoonish queen. "After that you'll dry mine. And i want a massage." She paused, waiting for a response. "Is that clear?" Jade forced her words out of her mouth "Yes." Apparently, it was not enough. "Yes what?" Fawn was implicitly inviting her to say somethig. "Yes, princess" Jade said. Giggling, Fawn disappeared towards her bathroom, and the only other noise that Jade could hear was the sound of her flipflops slapping against her bare heels.
