Jack pretended to still be asleep when the group of men enter the room. They stood watching her for a moment before speaking to one another.
"She will be the perfect Queen. The King will be so pleased with her. she turned out so well," one of the men said.
The three men continued to watch her breifly, then without so much as a word to her, they left. Jack had heard the words the men had spoken but they didn't sound right. She was to be a queen? Like this? This huge? And what of the stage two thing? What was that?
As she contemplated her fate, the door opened and a very handsome man entered the room. He strode to the bed and looked down at Jack.
"Well, young lady, you've certainly gotten yourself into quite the mess now."
"Who are you?"
"I am the royal physician, Doctor Blake," said the Doctor through his smile. "I used to be Jill, before you killed us all, Jack!"
"You are a man....."
"And you, my dear, are a woman. Actually, you are the future Queen."
"I've heard that, already, but I don't understand. How could they force feed me like that? Why? I'm huge! And what of this stage two that I heard about?"
"Oh, you heard about that? Well, the next stage is to break both of your ankles so you cannot walk at all. That way, you will always be ready for the King, when he wants you."
"But when they heal, will they break them again?"
"No need. They will be cast as to not heal straight. You will never walk again. The only place for your feet will be against the back of the King as he enters you, again and again and again and....."
"I get the point. What kind of weirdo is the King that he wants his queen like this?"
"Oh, this was designed just for you. When the king figured out who you are, he insisted that you be prepared this way."
"What did I ever do to the King?"
"For one thing, you killed him."
"You mean, no, the King is...."
