A Killer's Apprentice

The food was delicious again, and when they were done she set up her own cart that she had forgotten and she put the remaining meat from the deergoose on it and she put the poison paste into a jar. She called for Alxina to get in the cart and she began to haul it down to Ba Sing Se, where Alxina would gain her own claws, and where she could get rid of some things.

The Tailor pushed the cart past Alxina's old home without knowing, it was the path that she always took. Outside of the place was Alxina's sister, on the streets. No one to look after her. The continued to walk on by when she saw Alxina playing with her stick figures. She looked scrawny, and not healthy. The Tailor stopped, she had a plan. "Child, you are so small. Why not come with us like I offered originally, we will feed you."

The Tailor helped her into the cart and then she had continued to push the cart forwards. After a while, they were in front of a door. I want you two to follow me and for you to stay close, this place is full of human traffickers. They kidnap children like you and then they sell them for adult reasons." She went on in until she found an area selling and purchasing meat. She sold the deergoose for enough gold to purchase Nami some clothes. She then went on over and she sold the poison to a man that she was on good terms with, "So, you found a soft spot and you got yourself some kids, eh?" He asked. "Aye, they are lovely. It makes me want to have one of my own!" After that she left and she pulled her daughter and the new child along with her. The new child would be fattened like a pig then slaughtered. A year's worth of fattening would make her ample size for Alxina's anniversary for coming to live with her. After getting to the hut, she went inside and she told Nami to wait at the table for her meal. In an hour, she had finished cooking the rest of the two men. She served it all to Nami and then she went outside to tell Alxina that her claws were coming tomorrow instead of today. She explained her plan on what she was going to do to her sister. She then asked her to come with her as she went hunting for someone else. After a while, they returned with their own meal and they ate after she had cooked it. Giving extra large servings to Nami for obvious reasons.

Despite how frightened Nami was, she still ate voraciously. When Alxina left to take a nap, the Tailor told her to have pleasant dreams and then she saw that Nami was frightened. "Pray tell child, why are you frightened so?" "You killed my family." "That may be, but I gave pity on you and I spared you that day. I saw you starving on the streets and I gave you pity again. You will be here, and you be fed. You have a roof over your head now, and food everyday. You will have a better life here. Just you wait and see." At that she lead the frightened child to a bed. "You will sleep here. Once you get some meat on your bones so that you can fit into the clothes that you are wearing right now, you can decide whether or not to stay."

Alxina woke again and yawned, two hours later. Through the window, she could see that it was near twilight, and she looked about for her sister. She didn't have to search long, though, as she saw Nami sitting in a corner with Alxina's twig dolls, having them move about with slow movements and whispering to herself. Alxina then saw her mother, who was taking measurements of a corner of the room.

"Whatcha doing, Momma?" Alxina asked curiously. "She's not your mother, Alxina. You killed Ma, remember?" Nami mumbled, her quiet voice full of loathing. Alxina looked to glare at her, then tossed her hair over her shoulder, her face quite pompous and haughty. "Well, Momma?" She demanded, turning back to her mother, as if she hadn't heard a word of what Nami had said.

"I'm measuring the room required for a bed for Nami, right?" She saw Nami nod her head yes, "Now, we need to make her feel as welcome as possible." She got back to measuring, after a few minutes, she had the correct measurements. "I am going out for a while, I'm getting the bed. Be nice to Nami, and Nami, be nice to Alxina." With that, she grabbed her cart and she went off to the black market to get Nami a bed. After a few hours, she returned to the hit with a proper bed. She put the bed in and she looked at the girls, "Do you two think that it's time for dinner?"

OOC: I'll let you decide if Alxina got into a fight or anything. Perhaps she talked her sister into seeing the goodness that the Tailor is, by letting her into her home and feeding her?

"Alright, you can come with me Alxina. Nami, I want you to stay here, you are far to delicate to do this with us." After saying that, the Tailor went outside and she unloaded the bed from her cart. She then told Alxina to close her eyes and to hold out her hands. When she did so she put a box with her own claws in her hand and then she told her to open her eyes. After seeing her reaction, the Tailor smiled and hugged her, helping her to put on her new claws. She showed her how to attach the needle like claws since they could be fired at people. She then showed her how they fired and how to reload. She told her very sternly that these were the only claws that she had, and that she should never loose them. Then they went hunting. After a while, they found a large, beefy man walking the roads alone. They killed him and they brought his body home. Careful not to show Nami what it was that they were actually eating, the Tailor hacked up the man outside and she cooked what they needed, a little more than what they needed actually. They ate, Nami more than the rest of them of course. When it was done, the Tailor went outside to get the bed and she put it where Nami would be sleeping. Soon, she would be fitting back into her clothes, and soon she would be deciding what to do about staying or leaving. But the Tailor was clever, she remembered what Nami's clothes looked like and she bought larger versions of them, just so that she would have longer to fatten and be with them longer.

"The city is filled with close to a million people, my child. They never notice, and if they do then we go to a new city. But I have been here for many years, and they haven't noticed yet. Now go play." After supper, everyone felt tired, as such they all slept.


Time skip: Two weeks

The Tailor looked over at Nami, the girl was wearing the larger clothes and looked like the trick was working. The combination of keeping her sedimentary and feeding her a lot was taking it's toll. It also appeared that she was happy and content to sit around all day and only move when it was time for dinner. The larger clothes were baggy on her chubby body and the Tailor would get things for her and the like when she asked. It was time to prepare supper and Nami's appetite had grown in the last two weeks. As such, she started hunting animals again just so that they would have enough to feed her and still have enough man for her and Alxina to eat. She went over to where she kept the salted meats and she began to cook. Once dinner was ready, she set out the food and she watched as the Airbender turned glutton began to chow down on the food at ever increasing rates. Once the food was done, she took Alxina outside for some target practice.

The Tailor watched as Alxina shot down a deergoose for her sister's super, "Good job Alxina! Well done!" She put the deergoose onto the cart and she went home to prepare it for dinner. After the usual hour, the food was ready. After serving those extra large helpings to Nami, the Tailor said, "You know, you haven't been playing with your sister in a while. Why don't you two play some more?" At which Nami responded, "Because I never knew that eating and sleeping and lazing about could make one feel so happy and content!" "Now now, you can still laze about, but that doesn't mean that you have to stop playing with her. You can lie on the floor and play with her twig dolls with her, or perhaps help her build a doll house. Just do something with her. But be sure to remain lazing about as much as possible." "But-" "No but's. Depending on how Alxina tells me that you've been playing with her, while still not moving mind you, I will increase you food portions." "Fine." See, over the past two weeks Nami had come to see food as a reward, and something to entice herself with, a true glutton. Her hunger knows no bounds.

The Tailor looked at Alxina and smiled, "But of course, my child. I will buy you a doll. After all, you have enough coin for it, and I will also get your sister one if she wants one.""Mmmf--Not mmmf--interested." Nami said while stuffing her face greedily. The Tailor looked at her and shrugged, she had been playing with Alxina and as she had stated, she gave her more and more food for how well she had been playing. "Let's go tomorrow, how does that sound?" The Tailor took another look at Nami, her larger clothes were nearly fitting on her. In maybe a week she would have the option of staying or leaving. But by looking at the food she was eating and at how much she was eating, she would say yes.

The Tailor watched as Alxina didn't finish her dinner and how she had given the rest of it to Nami, the girl had basically inhaled the remains of her sister's dinner. She hadn't even finished her first part of seven meal course, for Alxina had told her that she was playing with her really well. One by one the courses went, and the dishes pil3ed higher and higher. Until finally, "BUUURP!!!" Nami let out one massive belch that shook the hut that they were in. The Tailor hoped that it didn't wake Alxina. She sent the glutton to bed and she then started working on cleaning the dishes. After several hours, the dishes were cleaned and she finally fell asleep. Only to have to wake up early and fix a very large breakfast for Nami.

The Tailor woke up to the smells of something delicious. She went to the kitchen to find that little Alxina had decided to cook breakfast for them. She went up to her quietly and she said, "Morning child, my that smells wonderful! But that isn't enough to feed Nami. We need more than this." The Tailor went over to grab another pot, she put it on the stove next to where Alxina was cooking and she told her to triple the amount in it. "It's not that you didn't do a good job, it's that you did too little of a good job," she explained. Once all of the food was done, the Tailor went over to Nami and she woke her up. Nami got up and she ate her breakfast, and she ate, and ate, and ate, and ate. The Tailor had some of the meal that Alxina had made and she told her what she thought about it. It was delicious! Once Nami had finished eating and had gone off to sleep again, the two of them left for town to get the doll that Alxina wanted. The Tailor was sure to bring some extra gold with her if Alxina didn't have enough. They went to the market that they had gone to when they had first found Nami, "So, which doll do you want?"

The Tailor saw the price, and fortunately enough, she had enough for the doll on her own. They bought the doll and they went home. As it turned out, the doll was fully movable. Able to move it's fingers, legs, and arms. The Tailor bought what looked like Kyoshi fan's that were just the right size for the doll. When they got home, she showed the fans to Alxina and she told her to have fun playing with it while she cooked. After three very long hours, lunch was done. And just like at breakfast, Nami ate, and ate, and ate, and ate.

Once lunch was done she looked over and she saw that Nami was undoing her belt, letting her stuffed belly ooze out onto her lap. "Remember what I said to you? Once you can fit into your old clothes again, you are to decide whether or not to stay here. Tell me Nami, will you stay here with us?" Nami looked at her and she responded, "Of course! Here I get food, and lot's of it! As well as no responsibility!""Alright then, now that you have officially decided to stay with us, you need to get some rest. Dinner will be ready in a few hours, and I don't want to see you up and about. For a celebration, how's about a twelve course dinner?" Nami's mouth visibly watered at the thought of that, "And each course will be twice as big as you normal courses. What do you say? You will have to eat all of it.""Oh spirit's yes! Yes! Yes! That is one of the best idea's ever!""I am glad that you think so, now go lay down and rest."

After four hours of slaving away, the very special dinner was served. All twelve courses were ready and perfect. The Tailor went to go get Alxina for dinner, once she had what she wanted, the Tailor ate for herself. Then she awoke Nami. Nami went to the table and she began to eat. She ate and she ate and she ate. She was eating ravenously, as though she hadn't eaten in years. After an hour or so, the first course was done. Nami was sitting there, licking the plates clean. One could hardly call her human after watching her eat that first course alone. And so this continued, well into the next day. Once all of the food was eaten, Nam laid there, stuffed. Unable to move. The Tailor somehow managed to roll her to her bed. She would be extremely large after this, let alone the whole eleven months after this.

The Tailor yawned when Alxina came in and asked her what her name was. The Tailor stopped moving, she had never thought of it before, what was her name? She never had a need for one. "My name? I never had one. Hmm... I guess I'll have to come up with one for myself. My name is Eona. Yes, that shall be my name, Eona. What do you think of it?" Without waiting for an answer she went back to doing the dishes. After some time, all of the dishes were done and clean. Then it was time to cook for Nami, the gluttonous girl was eating away everything. Good thing they had stocked up on food last time they had went hunting.

Time skip, three months:

Three months had gone by, nothing much had changed. The hut was much larger though. See, over the past three months, the Tailor, or should I say Eona, had been selling all of the excess skins from all of the animals needed to feed Nami's bottomless stomach. She had been making a lot of money, and with the money she had expanded her small hut into a cabin and she had purchased more stoves so that she could cook more for the glutton. The glutton, Nami had grown as well. She could still walk, but not without breaking a sweat. She was apparently oblivious to the increase in weight as she blamed her clothes for shrinking in the wash whenever she bursts out of them. Her latest clothes looked like they were beginning to strain. After this meal, or rather during, her clothes would tear at the seams and buttons would pop.

As for what Eona was doing, she was cooking for Nami. She expected Alxina to be out hunting, the little girl had seemed to change over the months. She couldn't put her finger on it, but the change was still there. Once the food was done she set up the table and she called Nami. Then she came, the floor shook as she walked. She sat down and the chair creaked, she ate.
