Rejected but still desired

Dress up games

Selena POV:

I sat by the window, sipping the tea as I looked out at the trees. This pack was beautiful and maybe Ethan and I could change it for the better but I don't know, I was more on the side of leaving. There was a knock on the door and I got up, cup in my hand as I walked to the door to see who it was but with the pit in my stomach, I already had a feeling.

I opened the door to be greeted by Luna Anna, who was all squeals and happiness to see me. She wanted to rush in and hug me but spotted the tea and smiled, "I'm sorry if I startled you," she apologized and then she held up two powder blue, glossy bags to my face, "I got you some things for your birthday tomorrow!" I smiled as I stepped aside to welcome her in. Her nose sniffed the air and she frowned but in an instant the frown was gone and she was smiling cheerfully again.

I downed my tea, feeling that it would give me strength to be in the same room as this woman and not show the distaste and dislike that I carried for her. She sat down on the bed, swinging the bags down along with her, "are you excited for tomorrow?" She asked, I put down the empty mug and smiled, "overjoyed!" I exclaimed with fake cheerfulness and a hint of sarcasm. "Well, I can't imagine why you wouldn't be," she smiled again but this one seemed more forced because the smile never reached her dark eyes, "is there any news on Raze?" I asked and I watched her body stiffen, "no, we are on guard so you don't need to worry!" Again with a smile, I nodded my head and sat down as she opened the bags and started rifling through.

"How cute is this?" She gushed as she pulled out a white dress and held it up against herself. It was a low cut dress and the material was kind of sheer and thin. "Try it on!" She demanded, making me jump a little. I nodded as I took the dress from her and headed to the bathroom, "what are you doing?" She asked and I paused, looking at her, "what do you mean?" I asked, "we're both girls," she smiled at me like I was supposed to know what that meant and that's when it hit me, she wanted me to undress and dress in front of her, I swallowed, feeling sick as the pit in my stomach grew. "Okay," I said shakily as I started to slowly peel my clothes off, Luna Anna never averted her eyes, she just continued to stare and take in my whole body, making me very uncomfortable. I was completely naked in front of her, except for my panties and my bra, "you should take of those too," she said pointing at my bra. I felt mortified but did what she said. I slowly unclasped my bra and tried to cover my chest, Luna Anna stood up and walked over to me removing my hands. "You shouldn't be ashamed of your body," she smiled, "this is the body of our future Luna and anyway, you will have to shift in front of us at the ceremony tomorrow." Her smile was sinister and her words were cold. I started to feel even more dizzy, there were black spots in my vision but I continued to force myself to put on the dress. Once it was on, she gasped, "my son is going to love you in this!" I turned to look at my reflection in the mirror, the room seemed to be spinning. I couldn't focus on my reflection as it blurred and blended from three to one and back to three, "what's wrong?" Asked Luna Anna standing up, she smiled at me, I tried to focus on her reflection as I felt her cold hands on my bare shoulders. It felt like she was growing talons and my body felt like it was burning up, what was going on? "I don't- I don't feel too good," I managed to say as I stumbled to the bed, Luna Anna's leg appeared and I felt myself falling forward, "oh no! Are you okay!?" Her voice sounded so far away, I reached for the bed, trying to hoist myself up but my arms were heavy. I tried to speak but my tongue seemed to be swollen and my words were lost in weird garble. The black spots were getting larger and larger, "Selena!" Gasped my future mother in law as she leaned over me, smiling, I will call the doctor. I tried to shake my head and tell her it wasn't necessary but the darkness was overwhelming and the heaviness was suffocating.
