Shower, food, and...

You're exhausted and you feel disgusting, so as suggested you take a luxurious shower and change into a comfortable shirtdress. As promised, you find a full breakfast laid out for you on an ornate table in the corner of your room, which you eat gladly as you flip through the channels of the massive tv across from the bed.

You're still shell-shocked by the events of this morning, but you can't help but feel that this place is amazing.

You eat and watch a film while you unpack the very few things you had a chance to bring with you, then sprawl on the bed and try hard to distract yourself from how depressing the reason you're here is.

It works for a while, except...

You're tingling. You can feel it, a sparkling sensation deep in your belly and further somehow, like butterflies. You feel weird, slowly finding yourself on edge as your body revolts.

Before you get a chance to panic, you hear a soft knock on the door and Lydia comes in. She takes one look at you, flushed as you are all of a sudden and sprawled out on the bed, and nods to herself.

She shuts the door behind her and advances until she's standing at the foot of the bed. You're keyed up, the tingling upping a notch as you watch her move towards you, and you finally ask what you've really been meaning to ask since this morning.

"You know what's happening to me, don't you?"

"Yes." Lydia nods, then looks you straight in the eyes. "The question is now - do you want me to tell you, or would you rather i show you?"
