| MELODY - LOST FROM HOME [ part 14 ] I opened my eyes, I must have fallen asleep in the classroom, lucky the girls weren't here or I'd really be laughed at. My mouth was dry, I reached for the water jug on my desk, poured out a glass and drank it down, there was an odd taste in my mouth, something I hadn't noticed before, where had I tasted that before . . . Then I knew what it was! A check on my arms showed that I had a few small punctures there, which I didn't have before! I went through the probabilities. 1. While the girls were at the gym and target shooting, I had been drugged and examined. 2. Since I've been returned, either they're examining the results 0r they have more plans for me! 3. They've returned me here, to make me think nothing's changed - so they still have plans for me!! So with that piece of knowledge locked away I decided to carry on with my work, but when I looked at my watch and saw the time, half-past six! I had 'lost' six hours - work would have to stop, I hope the principle wouldn't mind! I picked up my stuff and went to the admin office, the women had all gone home, but there was an envelope there with my name on it, this I took with me and walked back to my lodgings. When I arrived the smell of a meal assaulted my nose, I entered the room to find Pauline seated at the table doing her homework, what surprised me was that with her was Jessica, as I was so quiet the two hadn't heard me arrive, I could hear the girls talking. "Pauline," Jessica was looking at her friend, "have you done number 8?" when Pauline said yes Jessica asked, "So what's the answer?" "I can't tell you that!" said Pauline, "That's not right; you're supposed to do it yourself. I'm not allowed to help you like that!" "And so you shouldn't." I said making both girls jump, I turned to Jessica, "You should be able to work out the answer on your own!" she looked down and nodded, I looked at the work she'd done, mentally marking them, when I got to her current sum I could see where she was going wrong. I sat beside her and showed her the mistake she'd made, and then I let her carry on with the sum. In the meantime Pauline had brought in a hot meal and placed it at the table for me, I looked at it and asked her who had cooked it? "Well we did!" She replied, pointing to Jessica and herself, "We thought you might need one, after working so late." Which I thought was nice of them and so I thanked them both. As I was eating and watching the girls as they continued their homework, I realised something, 'they knew I was working late! And that I would be hungry! Did this mean that Pauline was part of this thing? Or was I just being paranoid? I'd have to find out later. When I'd finished eating and the girls their homework, I waited for Jessica to go home, except she didn't. What she did do was to stand with Pauline in front of me, as if waiting for an order, I looked at them both without speaking, and then finally Pauline broke the silence. "My master." Jessica gave her a sharp look, which 'Slave number 1' ignored, "This supplicant," She indicated Jessica, "Wants you to honour her with the gift of your body." I looked at Jessica, "Are you sure about this?" I asked her, she looked down at her feet and nodded, I couldn't accept this, "Jessica! You have full control over whatever you want to do, if you feel frightened or unhappy about anything just speak up!" She swallowed and then looked at me, tears glistening in her eyes, "I'm sorry Mr. Purple, I really thought I wanted to go ahead with this," She said, "I've heard other girls saying how painful it was, I don't really want to do it!" I pulled her towards me and sat her on my lap, I could see that Pauline wanted to speak out, but I stopped her with a shake of my head. I held Jessica in my arms, just as I had done on the first day, and spoke softly to her, "These girls you listened to, did they say how they were feeling when it happened?" I could feel her nod her head, "They were worried about it as well." I nodded, "They were scared about it and so they tensed up, their partner was so intent on having their fun they didn't take the time to allow their partner to relax, and so making them even more frightened and tense, and so making it much harder to break through the hymen." I smiled down at her, "So do you understand what I'm saying?" I asked her. She thought for a moment, and said in a calm voice, "Because they were scared it really hurt them and they were scared because they were frightened that it would hurt?" she sounded astounded at her answer. I nodded, "Exactly! So all you have to do is to find somebody you know and trust, somebody who will be kind and gentle with you, and then you should have no problems." I told her. I could feel that she was starting to calm down, now she knew I wasn't going to do anything to her. She looked up from her perch and said, "But Mr. Purple, I don't know anyone like that." At which Pauline sniggered, making Jessica look at her. "You idiot Jessica," said Pauline, in her normal voice, "You're sitting on the best person to do it. Mr. Purple knows how to make a girl feel at ease, ask him to do it, go on, before you chicken out!" Jessica drew in a sharp breath, thinking about her friend's words, but then I stepped in. "Jessica, whilst it's true I would try to be kind and loving for you, I don't want you to rush into this. I suggest you go home and talk this through with your mother. Tell her your fears, you'll find she may have had the same problems, okay?" She nodded and then looked at Pauline, "You won't tell on me, will you?" She asked, Pauline started to get a satisfied look on her face. "Well..." she started to say, but again I ruined her day. "No she won't!" I stated bluntly, "Anything that happens or does not happen here stays here, and if I hear of any tales then I'll take steps to find out who started them, and then I'll punish the person concerned." I was looking straight at Pauline as I spoke, I could see her eyes dropping down to the floor. Jessica smiled at me, "Thank you again, Mr. Purple." She said, "I'll go and ask mummy." She jumped off my lap and grabbed her bag and coat. I don't think she really wanted to have sex with me, at least not just yet anyway. She said a hurried goodbye and literally ran out of the room, Pauline watched her go, her mouth was open. "Master, I don't believe that!" she exclaimed, "You let a prime young piece like that get away, just as I'd almost got her ready!" I smiled at her, "Pauline do you think I'm after new blood at the moment?" She dropped her eyes; she knew that she'd overstepped her mark. "I'm sorry master, but I thought you'd want some variety in you choice, and Jessica did say she wanted to see what a man really felt like, I didn't know she'd chicken out at the last moment." Pauline started to sound superior to Jessica at this; SHE hadn't chickened out but has stayed the course. "Pauline!" I said, "Remember that I gave you permission to stay with me, you can return to the orphanage if you want!" I said this in an even voice, no malice showing. The effect was amazing, she fell onto her knees, "Please master," Slave number 1 was back, "This slave is sorry for her outburst, but she's read in books that masters desire more than a willing servant, and you did seem to notice Jessica. This slave is ready for her punishment." And she remained on her knees; head bowed awaiting her master's orders. "I should spank you for your impudence and not allow pain slut to take over." I told her, "not because you decided what girl I would prefer, but for concealing the truth from me." At her puzzled look I carried on, "You were aware that I would be late home, this was on a day when I had no classes! You knew what time I would arrive; I know this because the meal was ready just as I arrived! Now slave tell me: Who do you obey?" Her face blank Pauline, or rather slave, answered, "I obey only you master." Her voice was neutral. I countered with, "But there is a part of you who doesn't, isn't there?" I was sure about this, as I knew Pain Slut could keep herself separate from the other identities, so it was perfectly possible for another personality to exist without her knowledge. "Master." Pauline (Slave) was saying, "This slave is not aware of any such commands. If I displease you may I get Felicity to control this miserable body?" I gave my assent, immediately her posture altered, still looking down but with a different attitude. "Master, I don't understand your questioning, Pauline received a message that you would be in late and to ensure that a meal was ready for you!" Well this sounded plausible, and would fit in, I suppose I was being paranoid about this, it wasn't really Pauline's fault at all, she was just the messenger. But there was still a nagging doubt in my mind. So I persisted. "When did the message come from?" I asked Felicity looked confused, "I don't know master, Pauline suddenly knew you would be would be late. I can recall a message but I do not remember hearing or seeing anything, but a message was received!" She seemed quiet distressed by this and she wasn't faking that. "Felicity, if there was another personality within you, one that was able to monitor everything but concealed herself from all of you, would you know?" I asked. Felicity started to answer, but then she stood up, shaking her head, the attitude was pure adult. "How the hell did you find me out?" She asked, this was someone completely new, I decided to play the host. "Do sit down, Miss?" I asked, she accepted and responded with, "Kathy, as you worked out I'm a monitoring personality designed to watch over you and to report to my handler on any aspects of you." I smiled; here was my answer and hopefully source of solutions. "Kathy, you made the mistake of giving a message directly to Pauline, you should have written a note for her. The only way Felicity wouldn't remember a message is if she'd been bypassed, and since the only way is by a hidden personality, the answer had to be someone like you. Logical?" I tried not to sound smug. She smiled; "If this was my original body, I'd slug you!" was the unexpected response. This intrigued me, "Your original body?" I asked, "But who are you?" I added. "I don't remember my real name, I'm just a reconstructed memory of a person, my name was edited out in the machine, I mean I'm based on a real living person, but I'm just a copy planted in Pauline's mind to ensure that she's okay, plus I'm supposed to keep a discreet eye on you, but now that you've discovered me I suppose I'd better work on getting wiped." She sounded so matter of fact about this. I didn't like this, "Hey now, hold on." I said, "Do you want to get wiped out?" I asked her, she shook her head. "Not really, I mean I know I'm not real and so nothing would be lost, but I'm not looking forward to it!" She certainly sounded concerned for an non-existent being. "I didn't say you had to, did I?" I asked her, she shook her head, "and they'd only assign another girl to watch me wouldn't they?" She nodded in agreement. "So I suppose the only thing to do is to carry on as if nothing has happened, don't you agree?" she looked up. "Yes I do, thank you master, I won't let you down," and then she realised what she had said, "Damn you, you've done it to me haven't you? You've mad me one of yours, you didn't even have to lift a finger and I'm still ready to obey you. I'd better let Felicity have this body back, remember your question, 'if there was another personality would she know about it?'" Her body slumped back into Felicity's stance. "...cause I would know master, I'm the co-ordinator for this body, and so I'd have to know everyone in here!" I nodded in agreement; she hadn't even noticed the lapse in the time. "Okay Felicity, as you are so sure, I'll have to accept your word, I'm not really angry, just concerned. Why don't you return the body to Pauline." She nodded and then Pauline's stance returned, I pulled the young girl to me, I could tell she was starting to cry. "Don't worry Pauline, you were only doing what you thought was right for me, but you will have to think about how others really feel before dragging them into this." I tried to comfort her, but she didn't reply. I decided that I needed an early night so I held onto her as I got up, she lifted her head to look at me as I carried her into the bedroom, she didn't move as I lowered her onto the bed, she did watch me as I undressed. Standing before her, I gave her a smile, which she shyly returned. "Now my young slave, what is it you want me to do?" I asked her she lowered her eyes and then looked up at me. "Show me that you've forgiven me, master," She said lying back and opening her arms to me. Which was something I was perfectly happy to do. |
