"I don't want to talk about it", Christina began, tears filling up in her eyes.
"Why? Am I touching something sensitive?" Ryan wondered, moving a few steps back from the slowing sobbing woman.
"Well, I suppose you'll find out sooner or later. Have a seat", she offered the boy, pointing to the bench near a local bus stop. "You see, Ryan, before I was shrunk down and turned into a figurine, some things happened to me.."
"What things?"
"Well..I was once married. When I was 17, I fell in love with a much older man named Christopher. We were extremely happy together and got married in only a few months. Of course, my parents weren't thrilled by this, and I was forced out of my home and had to go live with my new husband at his apartment.
One day, though, I came back from the store and found him dead. He was lying in a pool of blood, and even the police couldn't identify what or how he died. A couple of months afterwards I had to move out of the apartment because I didn't make enough money at my part-time job as a waitress to support myself, so I went back home to my parents. They refused to let me come home, saying that it was my decision to leave the house and move out to live with a man almost twice my age. I was so upset by them telling me this I could barely control my body. I felt like dying right then and there.
So, that very night I tried just doing that. I went up to the highest building in this town and tried to jump off, but found myself saved at the very last minute by this strange old man. He kind of looked like the guy from that shop you bought me from, Ryan. After that my memory is foggy, but I believe I was experimented on and shrunk down to the size of a doll. I tried to escape, but then he did something to me...something that froze me in place and paralyzed my body. Before that he told me,
'Won't my customers be happy to see a nice girl like you!'
Before that, though, I also saw four other girls in that lab, who were also previously shrunk and placed in cages like lab rats. They told me that they, as well as myself, were to be part of a line of dolls, ones that would bring joy and happiness to those who bought us. One girl overheard that we'd be use as sex toys, another as small-sized strippers for horny men. However, it seemed out fate changed along the way, and you bought us all from that shop.
...I still have bad memories of that place. Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up ..."
Christina found herself tugging on Ryan's shirt, covering her crying face in his left sleeve.
"Christina, it's okay now", Ryan comforted the girl, rubbing his right hand on her head. "I'll protect you and those other girls from now on."
"I want to know why he did this to me and those other girls! Was it because he knew I was going to die and he wanted to experiment on me before I could kill myself?! Is there more to me than I think? I really want to know..."
Christina, her face blood red from crying, then stood up once more and looked at Ryan, a sad frown still cemented on her face.
"Ryan...please help me. Help Amy, Berry, Dara, Emelia, and myself from this horrible fate. I want to be a normal girl again! I don't want to be a doll or a figurine!"
Ryan then stood up as well and proceeded up to Christina's face, startling the woman as he placed his lips on her own. She was nothing short of shocked by this.
"What was that!?" she fumed.
"Consider that my acknowledgement of your request. I promise that I'll save you and the other girls!"
"Thank you", Christina replied, not nearly as upset anymore.
