I have on just a diaper and a satin diaper cover that has ruffles around the leg openings, waist band, and four across my bottom. I have on some very soft matching booties and matching ribbons make my pony tails. I am starting to feel very antsy. I have an ache in my soul I cannot define and need to be alone. I take a white crocheted spread from the bed. I wrap myself loosely in it and open the nursery door when Nana isnt looking and is busy. I know baby shouldnt go anywhere without someone to watch over her, but I needed to be alone. I quietly close the nursery door and walk down the hall towards the gardens. Many people from multitudes of worlds fill the halls and all greet me and bow or curtsy as I pass. I hear, My Lady until I want to scream! I must be alone!
I find the door and wander into the Garden of the Moon. I sit in one of the gazebos. Here it is quiet and very peaceful. I sit and look out over the pond and watch the fishes swim and play below me. I can see my cute face reflecting in the water. I feel so lonely I start to cry softly. I see the large tear drops as they hit the water from time to time and make little rings. It has been a whole week. I havent been able to even catch a glimpse of Larry, much less get close enough to him to say anything. I want so much to talk to him.
I remember the lovers wish here in the Garden of the Moon. I whisper wistfully to the Moon, Oh to be Larry Turners girlfriend. To at least have him speak to me. Or just a small glimpse … maybe?
A microscopic surveillance comm picked up her wish. This is one of the seeming magical things built into the Garden of the Moon. The entity that monitors these comms is known as The Master Controller. It is not known how it can do and arrange the things it does. This electronic secret of the garden has long been forgotten. To all the youth and old alike. It is a delightful bit of magic. One of the many Mystiques of a Mysterious Garden.
Master Controller knows the young Emperess voice. This is priority.
I hear a noise behind me. I turn around and see three of the scrubbiest men I think I could imagine. They had nasty weapons. All pointed at me. I am scared, to say the least. They start to laugh and giggle to each other. I hear them saying the word rape.
They start telling me what they intend to do to me. I dont understand a lot of the sexual stuff they say. I truly expect not to survive much longer. I close my eyes for just a second. There are noises in front of me. Gagging and thumps. I quickly open them again.
I see Larry with one man in a headlock with a very nasty gun stuck in his face. I see the two others in a fetal position on the ground, gasping and groaning pitifully. I see five others of the security team there with very nasty weapons drawn and pointed at the men on the ground.
I see the look in Larrys eyes. I am afraid for the men.
When Larry speaks, there is an icy chill correctness in his voice, With all due respect , sir, you should know it is very rude to speak to an Imperial Baby like that and use such language.
It would have been funny, except Larry cocked his weapon then and continued, Please understand also, I will kill you as soon as look at you. I suggest you lower your weapon. Doesnt really matter if you do. It would be more fun though if you didnt.
