Blindfolded

The next morning Marcie found Susan shaking in her sleep.

"I'm sorry mommy, I'll be a good girl" Susan said, "please don't h... I'll be good girl, mommy"

Marcie shook Susan awake. Susan cried into Marcie's boobs.

"I'm sorry for being such a stupid cow"

Marcie just rubbed Susan's back.

"Its okay, did you have another nightmare?"

Susan nodded. After a few moments, Susan sudden spoke.

"Okay, we gotta meet with the Shadow Council"

--

Susan brought Marcie and Gina along with her to meet with the Shadow Council. At first they met with some guys at the car park. Some of the guys were Leader, Troy among them, others were Tyrants. The girls were blindfolded.

"Please, hold my hand" said Susan to Marcie.

Marcie obeyed Susan. The girls were moved into what they could only guess was a van. Later they were taken out and led into a room where they were tied to chairs. Marcie could hear Susan whimper.

"Its alright, Susan" she said, "everything's gonna be okay"

"Why do you even care?" asked Gina, "she's the reason we're in this mess"

"Gina, I always tried to make sure you were never too traumatised by my commands" said Marcie, "but I guess I didn't... I made a lot of mistakes. Also, judging from her repeatedly calling me mommy, I think she's trying to use me as a mother figure"

"What?" asked Susan.

"You keep crying into my boobs" said Marcie, "is your mom dead or something wrong with your relationship with her"

"Its because Susan wants to fuck her mom" said Gina.

"What?!" said Susan.

"Its why she was so willingly to tell the Leaders that my own ''incest' was what you are blackmailing me with"

"That wasn't why" said Susan, "they thought you were a pedophile, the only excuses I could think of was fucking your mother or bestiality. You have to believe me"

"Well, I do now that you're used your command on me" said Gina.

"And well, you've both met my mom" said Susan.

"Oh yeah, she slapped you and stripped you in front of us" said Gina, "it was funny"

Gina laughed until Susan told her to stop.

"You couldn't even let me have that" Gina complained.

"Oh yeah, I didn't realise she was your mom" said Marcie, "at the time I thought she was Gina's mom"

"What?!" said Gina.

"She had the exact same mannerisms, looked like an older version of you and even called me a stupid cow" said Marcie, "and I'm pretty sure I heard one of the teachers call her Gina. Obviously, I worked out that wasn't the case when I met your mom but by then I'd forgotten all about the incident"

"Yes, my mom's name is also Gina" said Susan, "my sisters and I, she treated us as more like lackeys than actual children"

"So basically you were raised by an older version of Gina?" said Marcie, "explains a lot"

"When I met Gina, the one who's not my mom, she reminded me so much of her that it scared me and I just had to follow her" said Susan.

"Oh come!" said Gina, "how was I supposed to know you had mommy issues?"

"Would you have treated me any differently if you did? Tell me the truth" said Susan.

"No, I wouldn't have cared" Gina said.

"So are you surprised I wanted revenge?" asked Susan.

"You're not exactly much better" said Marcie, "the instant you had power, you abused it"

"It was not abuse!" shouted Susan, "victims have a right to punish their oppressors. I could have flayed her alive and there would be nothing wrong with it as long as no innocents were hurt"

"You know what I think?" said Marcie, "I think you've projected some of the issues with your mother onto her"

"How could I not?" said Susan, "the two are so much alike"

"I understand your mother was just bully but Gina's wasn't much better" said Marcie, "her mother neglects her. I thought she lived like a queen but her room is actually really spartan and she gives her no allowance whatsoever"

"How does that compare?" asked Susan, "my mom called me a stupid cow, stripped me, humiliated me and beat me with her belt"

"This isn't a contest" said Marcie, "both of you had terrible parents, it doesn't matter who was worse. And another thing, Susan, you would be a terrible ruler"

"I would be a great ruler"

"No, because you are so desperate for affection and praise" said Marcie, "maybe its because you didn't get enough when you were little, I don't know, but its the reason you took my 'betrayal' so harsh and why Marel thinking you betrayed her pushed you over the edge. You're so desperate to feel loved that you'll follow anyone who shows you the slightest bit of kindness"

Susan sat there silently.

"Susan?" said Marcie.

"You're right" said Susan.

Thank god, maybe Susan can be persuaded to abandon her plans to take over the school.

"But because I control both of you, I can just get those things from you" said Susan, "making other girls your slaves is the best therapy ever"

Suddenly, the blindfolds came off and the girls saw seven boys sat in front of them.

"How long were you here?" asked Marcie.

"The whole time" said the one in the middle, "from the moment you saw 'its alright, Susan, everything's gonna be okay'. And we are the Shadow Council"

Time for a Cursed Punishment secret. Did you know that in high school Gina's mom was Susan's mom's lackey?
