A Visitor

"You are my master now, Diego. I love you. Chase will never come between us again"

Diego had never had his mother resume her sitting position so she now knelt in front him him, her eyes adoring and trusting. His feelings were jumbled. He seemed to have broken Chase's hold on her but he wasn't sure this was the outcome he'd wanted. He'd just wanted her free. He didn't want her to have a new master. Right?

He tried to review what he'd learned in that YouTube video; the one that had given him a deep knowledge of a special form of hypnosis. The warm pulsing lights of the video and the soothing voice had made it easy to pick up what he needed. It had made him feel like he could do anything. And, today, he had accomplished most of his goal. Valeria was free, or at least free from Chase. She seemed willing to do anything he asked. Now it was time for some planning. Now it was time for Chase to pay.

"Stand" He commanded her.

Valeria rose gracefully to her feet, her eyes still locked on his. Her cheeks were flushed and her pupils were dilated. Diego thought she even seemed to be breathing more rapidly.

"Valeria, when I say the word 'Wake' you will wake from your trance. You will feel refreshed and free. You will be aware of all that has happened to you in the last few days but you feel no distress. You will only feel righteous anger. You be in complete control of yourself. And, you will help me plan our next move"

"Wake"

Valeria's gaze was on Diego's lips as he spoke. She blinked three times at his command and her posture shifted. She raised her hands above her head and stretched.

"Wow. Thank you Diego. You saved me" *She moved closer to him, licking her lips* "You are such a good son."

Diego took a step back, nervously. "Welcome back Valeria, er, Mom. Now we have to..."

"You can call me Valeria if you want honey. I don't mind. It's sort of intimate isn't it?"

"Uh, I think I'll stick to Mom for now" He frowned. She seemed different. She'd always been warm with him but now there was a fire in her eyes.

She shrugged and stretched again, as if showing off her body. "Ok, Diego. Whatever you want. So now, what are we going to do to give that asshole some payback?"

DING-DONG

Diego and Valeria both jumped when the doorbell rang. Diego made a "stay here" motion to Valeria and went to the window.

"It's Chase's mother!" He exclaimed.

Valeria's eyes widened. "Kendra. Oh my god. Kendra. That's right..."

Diego turned from the window. "What? What?"

"Chase has her too. He turned her into his maid and... who knows what else?"

Diego's jaw clenched. Another victim of his sociopath bully.

"Why don't you answer the door Mom? I need to consult something on the internet real quick"
