With her stepmom

Alice came home and entered her room and froze as she found her stepmom sitting on the bed holding something in her hand. “M-margaret?”

“Alice,” Margaret said as she gazed at her stepdaughter standing awkwardly in the doorway. “Don’t be shy come on in.”

Alice had a wary look but did as Margaret asked. Whatever it was it couldn’t be good. “Is something wrong?” She asked.

Margaret’s back straightened. “I have rules in this house Alice. Rules I expect to be obeyed,” she said.

Alice wasn’t sure where Margaret was leading to. Margaret held up what she was holding and Alice’s eyes widened as she saw what Margaret had in her hand.
