A NEW DAWN CONTINUES When she reached the top of the winding stone stairs, Mary paused before the great Iron bound wooden door. “It really is a gilded prison, complete with dungeon doors” she thought. Mary knocked, waited, knocked twice more, and finally tried the great iron latch. She was surprised when she found it unlocked. Just inside to the right of the doorway, Alice lay curled up in a fetal ball. A single-hand pressing up against the great mirror. Mary bent down and after taking her pulse, attempted to unroll her. “I must go back, I need to go back, I will just die if I do not go back, please let me go back” Alice’s whispering voice went on and on. “Wake up Lady Alice” It is time for you to get dressed and down for breakfast” Mary yelled. Trying to break into her train of thought. “You have just had a bad dream. It is seven A.M., time to get ready to go down to your beloved horses” At the word “horses”, Alice’s head came up and her eyes focused on Mary. “Mary, you are still here. Did they search for me? Run down and tell my mother I have returned” she said softly. “What are you talking about? You have not been missed because you have not gone anywhere. We have just returned from London only yesterday. Maybe you are suffering from the affects of the car crash you were involved in. Should I have Terrisa call your physician? Alice rolled over and sat upright. Mary looked into half focused eyes set in a sad face. She looked just like a drug addict suffering through withdrawal. “Mary, what date is it?” she inquired. “Monday June twenty-fourth Mistress Alice” Mary replied. “What Year?” Alice went on. “ 2001, the same year it was when you went to bed last night. The same year when you came back from London yesterday, and the same year you arrived here after your mother inherited these estates” Mary, feigning anger, answered. “I know you are to be treated like some pampered little Princess. But you are really pissing me off with all this tomfoolery. It is time for even you to get up. I thought we were friends” Mary pretending to be angry replied. A very puzzled Alice looked up into Mary’s face. “ I have not been gone a whole year?” Mary knew it was not the time for Alice to face the reality of the mirror. She had to stabilize her mind first. “You silly girl, you have just had a bad dream. “Alice Through the Looking Glass “ is a story by Lewis Carroll, not your reality” Mary said, holding Alice’s face in her hands. Mary then assisted Alice into the shower stall and turned on the shower. Looked at her best friend, reduced to a bedraggled little creature huddled against the shower wall. And decided she needed something her professor’s had never taught her. But undecided whether to apply love or pain to get her through this day. Mary then decided her role in Alice’s life had to change. Her friendship had to grow into love. And Alice needed physical loving right now. Mary stipped off and joined Alice in the stall, and started rubbing soap all over her best friends smaller body. Alice gradually responded to Mary’s touch. Her arms slowly came up and held Mary close. Then she began rubbing her body against Mary’s. The new feelings gradually spreading through Mary’s body confused her. Alice hands appeared to know how to please another female and Mary’s hands emulated hers. They both forgot the why and were as their minds concentrated on the needs of their bodies here and now. Alice moved from patient to teacher as the two graduated from friends to lovers. Hands explored, lips caressed and kissed. Tongs probed deep. And older, but relatively inexperienced Mary quickly learned the pleasure spots only female’s share with other females. Both bodies slid down into the tub. The younger, smaller, but greatly more experienced Alice on top as their tongs explored each other’s sex. Alice’s mind gradually swam up from the depths of despair towards the glimmer of light provided by Mary’s lovemaking. Her mind gradually took over the automatic actions of her sex slave training. Alice realized whom and why she was being made love to. And determined to ensure her new lover reached the heights of pleasure first. Mary moaned and wrapped her arms around Alice. Alice’s body shuddered and went flaccid. Mary had never achieved this level with a boy. They then both gradually stood their trembling bodies upright. And celebrated the new level of their friendship by kissing each other full on the lips. They then proceeded to wash each other down. “Thank you for bringing me back around Mary. I do know it was your first time with another girl, and I will always love you for it. We will be best friends for the rest of our lives. After drying each other off and Alice assisted Mary to put her French Maid outfit back on. “I know you do not want to hear it but somehow I feel odd wearing clothes,” Alice said. But Mary helped Alice dress in the familiar blue jean pants and jacket. Plunking the “found cap" on her newly bound hair. As they walked down, Alice turned to Mary and said. “We should still keep our friendship secret. At least until I feel more secure here” “No problem Alice. I am sure Terrisa still objects to mere staff chumming with the owners” Mary and Alice parted ways at the head of the stairs. Mary said she had better return to her duties and went off down the main hallway. Alice just stopped in the kitchen long enough to grab a still hot muffin and headed down to the stables. Terrisa stood on the rooftop observatory watching as her charge walked down through the formal garden towards the Equestrian center. She saw Alice’s two guards following parallel paths, but staying out of her site. “You have done very well Mary. I will mention your exceptional service to the commonwealth committee. Anything specific to report?’ Terrisa said, keeping her eyes on Alice until she disappeared inside. “No Castillian. I just gradually talked her around. All that education the commonwealth paid for has started to pay off “ “Good. Chat her up again at dinner tonight, and report how she is coping. You may resume your household duties” Terrisa ordered. |
