What sort of club was it - what clothes would they be given to wear - why did it all have to be a secret?  But above all she was put out by the threat of being locked in her room - treated as if she were a 10, and not a grown up 16 year old.<br/><br/>Ellie snapped out of her thoughts as Aunt Paulette spoke directly to her, ordering her to come to the master bedroom, as the twins were dismissed.  Almost as Ellie thought of protesting, the word "<em><strong>Now</strong></em>" cut through the air like a cold knife.  Ellie's mother had warned her to be cautious of crossing her aunt - and the tone and authority of voice implied that any argument would be futile.<br/><br/>Meekly, Ellie stood and followed her aunt to the bedroom, closing the door behind her as instructed.<br/><br/>She stood before Aunt Paulette trembling slightly, her head still bowed towards the floor.
