Lauren Realizes Something is Wrong

"I don't think I should be in here." Lauren mumbled. Her head was pounding.

"What was that, dear?" The older woman called out. She was drawing a box from...from...somewhere. Lauren looked around the shop. The segment they were in was entirely made from old wood and had bits of hay strewn about the floor to go with the farmyard decor. This definitely didn't fit here.

What was worse was the eyes. All of the mannequins around her. Lauren didn't know why. She hadn't seen any movement. But, it almost looked like their eyes were watching her.

"I don't think I should be in here." Lauren said louder. Before, the old woman could react Lauren burst ahead of her, sprinting as well as fast as she could towards the exits. Lauren had done track in high school. There was no way the old woman would be able to catch up to her.

She shoved leather harnessed outfits and clothes racks out of her way. She ducked and weaved through the isles. There was no way the store could be as big it seemed. But, every time she turned, it was just another room with more strange outfits. How was the store this big? From the outside it didn't seem like some kind of Wall-Mart sized department store?

A flash hit her mind. Lauren sunk to her knees screaming. She wanted it out of her head. The mannequins were beckoning to her. This place. it was...it was hungry. It wanted her. Lauren cradled her head. Why wouldn't the pain stop? Why wouldn't the pain stop? Please, she just wanted the pain to-

Lauren blinked twice.

Where was she? She was on the floor. She looked around. It was the changing room hallway. Of course, she had come here to try on the costume. For obvious reasons, the changing rooms were decorated to look like stalls from a barnyard. That made sense.

Lauren heard a clicking of boots. She looked up.

There was a blond woman standing in front of her that she had never seen before in her life. She had closely cropped blond hair, an expensive riding jacket that was perfectly fitted and tight riding pants. From Lauren's position she was staring right at her crotch. Lauren blushed. She'd always liked girls, at least a little bit, but she'd never acted on that thought before.

"Madeline said I'd find you here." The woman was carrying a box. It had Lauren's outfit in it. "I'm going to help you change. Putting on an outfit like this can be challenging."

Lauren smiled and returned to her feet. Well, that was nice of her!
