A тαℓє as σℓ∂ as тιмє (Gray)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Bella blinked. The word 'crybaby' dragged her out of her slum and evoked a spark of anger. "I'm not a crybaby," she said.

[Grayzers]

"Then don't act like one dear." The wardrobe seemed to smile.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Bella pulled herself together and glared at the wardrobe. Then she picked up a fork and began to eat the meal he'd brought her... which at that point had gone cold.

[Grayzers]

"If you need clothes, feel free to look through these." The wardrobe said, the doors opening up. There was a gorgeous set of female clothes. They looked old style but they were made of the finest materials. Especially the ball gowns and casual dresses.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Bella gasped softly despite herself. They were beautiful, probably the most beautiful she'd ever seen. She'd never had much of an occasion to wear dresses.

[Grayzers]

The wardrobe stayed open, "feel free to have a look darling."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Bella rose slowly and walked over to the wardrobe. She ran her fingers over the silk of one of the gowns, a blue one.

[Grayzers]

The wardrobe remained silent for a few moments. "You'd look dashing in blue dear."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Bella let out a slow breath. "I can't accept these..." she said. "I can't."

[Grayzers]

"You can and you will dear. Unless you wanna stay in this nasty dirty clothes you have on and smell like garbage for the remainder of your stay." She said. "I know I don't wanna smell garbage."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Bella sighed and pulled the blue dress of the hanger. She walked to her bed and glanced at the wardrobe. "I don't suppose... can you, uh, no look?"

[Grayzers]

The wardrobe closed its feminine eyes, as well as the doors.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Bella hurriedly undressed and slipped into the gown. When she was done, she said, "Okay. You can look now."

[Grayzers]

The eyes reopened, and seemed to fill with joy. "Ive never seen a more beautiful girl. You look lovely in that dress darling."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Bella's face turned hot and she glanced away. "I've never worn something like this," she said.

[Grayzers]

"Dear, you should more often. Much better than those other clothes."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"I haven't had much occasion to wear fancy clothes," Bella murmured.

[Grayzers]

"Well, you will for now." She said happily.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

A discomfort laced with fear settled back over her. "For how long?"

[Grayzers]

"I don't know dear. I cannot read the masters mind."
