The Purification

"Now that it's only the two of us," started Katarina with an unsettling look in her eyes, "it is the perfect time to go through your purification."

"I'm clean, thank you." shrugged Lauren, showing little interest.

"You don't understand. It doesn't matter how clean one is. The ritual purifies your spiritual energy. Soul, aura, chakra, chi. Whatever you want to believe in."

Lauren took her gaze off the cartoon reruns and faced Katarina. "What would this accomplish exactly?"

"It would prepare you for the week and the more complicated rituals ahead of us."

More complicated rituals? That didn't sound too encouraging. Getting rid of these curses was shaping up to be a real battle. "And what would this purification ritual entail?"

"Easy. You douse yourself in wine. Then I perform the ritual. After that, you can take a shower. Or get even dirtier. Doesn't matter anymore. It will last for the week."

"What? Who the heck comes up with these rituals?!"

"I told you, these are ancient. People were not as shy as you, princess. And they used whatever they could find in abundance. And wine is better to douse yourself in than pee, yes?" reasoned Katarina.

"This is insane!"

"It doesn't hurt and has been working for centuries. I don't see what more you could hope for." Her words mirrored contempt towards the rich woman.

Lauren just groaned. She did have a point. These preparations were disgusting - mostly because she had been living like a princess all her life - but they didn't cause her any harm. And she was doing these for a reason. A good reason. Some morons would subject themselves to stuff like these in television, just for fame or money.

"How would this actually work?" she asked after thinking it through.

"No rocket science, really. You go into the bathroom, undress, stand in the tub and pour a bottle of wine over your head. I perform the purification ritual. It's easy, really. Any moron could get it right. After that, you'll be right under the showerhead to clean yourself." explained Katarina, enjoying Lauren's shocked expression. "I can even provide you with a bar of soap. Free of charge."

"Undress?"

"Yes. How else would you purify yourself? Fully dressed? Please." she scoffed.

Lauren bit her lower lip. It made sense to do this in the tub, but this ritual would put her completely naked self right in front of Katarina, her worst enemy. Even if she only used to be her worst enemy and was being kind of decent lately, it was hardly any more comforting. She would rather not expose herself anymore than was necessary. But was this necessary?

Upon seeing Lauren's ****, Katarina continued. "In case you haven't noticed, the bathroom lacks a door, and this place is not gonna get any less crowded than now." she motioned around herself in the empty room.

"Can you do the ritual with closed eyes?" asked Lauren in a weak voice.

"I... I'll have to touch you..." replied Katarina, a bit taken aback by the silly question. "But I... I should be able to perform it with my eyes closed, if it makes you more comfortable."

"It doesn't, but that's how it's going to be." said Lauren, looking Katarina in the eye. "Understand?"

"Yes. Jeez..." rolled her eyes Katarina. "You better start undressing then, princess. I'll go fetch the wine."

Lauren was already quite underdressed as it was. She had already gotten rid of her heels, bra and panties for various reasons, and her blazer was on the back of a chair from earlier. She carefully stepped out of her skirt and was soon standing in the mouldy bathroom in nothing but a loose silken shirt that came down just enough to cover her privates.

Katarina returned and placed a bottle on the edge of the tub. "Here it is."

"That is not wine." pointed Lauren at the bottle. "It's vinegar."

"Wine, vinegar. Essentially the same. It makes little difference the way we are going to use it." shrugged Katarina. "And we are fresh out of wine."

Well, from the way they lived, Lauren could definitely believe that last part. But she was more concerned about herself. "And the ritual?"

"Aunty said vinegar is just as effective. I'm not making up the rules." she tried to convince her, fingers crossed behind her back.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. I've even heard some beauty tips saying vinegar's good for the skin. But I have written 'wine' on the shopping list, in case you want to wait for the Sisters to return. I just thought you would prefer getting this over with while they were gone and..."

"I... Yes. Vinegar's just fine..."

"Splendid." smiled Katarina, flashing her perfect white teeth. "Better hurry, then."

"Out!" pointed Lauren at the door.

"Going. Jeez..." said Katarina, leaving the bathroom and leaning on the wall outside. "But I'd hurry. The place they went to is not that far away." she added from outside. "And that shopping list is not that long."

Lauren almost ripped the buttons off her shirt, she was in such a hurry to remove it. If she was to be naked for the ritual, she'd rather only one spiteful Sister saw her instead of three. Wanting in a place to hang it, she dropped the expensive article on the floor, as she stepped into the tub. She picked up the bottle and sniffed it. It was vinegar, all right.

"Should I just pour it all on my head or what?" yelled Lauren out of the bathroom.

"Yes. Make sure to close your eyes and mouth. It doesn't have to cover or get into every crevice of your little body... tee-hee." tittered Katarina from outside the bathroom.

Lauren raised the bottle over her head and started slowly pouring the liquid on herself. Apart from the smell, it wasn't as unpleasant as she had expected. Just as she had started, she heard a loud rumble coming from her tummy. She could feel the tremors throughout her entire body. Uh-oh. The milk... she thought. "We... We should probably hurry!" she groaned, clutching her stomach with her free hand. She felt time was not on her side.

"That's the idea! I'm waiting on you!" said Katarina inching closer to peak into the bathroom. "Better keep your eyes closed, princess. It is gonna burn like hell otherwise."

And she did, rewarding Katarina with the sight of her former victim in all her naked glory. Lauren, the rich, successful and sexy businesswoman, standing in a tub completely bare ass naked, her body covered in vinegar. One hand over her head, the other gently stroking her tummy. Katarina, like the rest of school, had seen the poor girl enough times in the alltogether to know for a fact that apart from a few wisps of thin hair over her tiny slit, Lauren hadn't changed much over the years. And she had already been hilariously underdeveloped back then. Like puberty had never hit her. That, combined with her haughty personality had just been begging to be messed with. And not much had changed in regard of her personality either. But considering her age, it was even funnier now. Her limbs were thin, skinny even, and her hips were narrow, like a preschooler's. Saying she lacked curves was an understatement. As for her breasts, 'tiny tits' would have been a huge compliment in her case. She was seriously flat. Her flat tummy stuck out further than her boobies. She remembered Dori's words about why even bother covering them up, and she thought exactly the same. Poor woman could walk around town topless and nobody would realize she was a 'mature lady'. No wonder she lacked the confidence to lose her virginity. Or to ever visit a beach. Her skin was pale as snow. Almost pink. Katarina assumed she must have been the first person to lay eyes on her bare form in the last couple of years.

"I... I think it's done." said Lauren, feeling the bottle emptying in her hand.

"Good. Now, stand still and let me do the rest." smiled Katarina as she entered the bathroom. She snapped a few pictures with her phone. It was such a funny sight that she needed something to remember it by.

Lauren instinctively covered her nipples with an arm and wedged a hand between her legs upon hearing Katarina enter. "Are your eyes closed now?"

"Of course." lied Katarina, knowing full well Lauren would not risk getting vinegar in her eyes just to check on her.

"I can see if you are lying." bluffed Lauren, trying to sound confident. It was her last line of defense. A meek lie in a shaky voice.

No, you can't, smiled Katarina. "I know...". She stepped over to the tub and moved a hand closer to Lauren. Slowly, like she was blindly searching for her. "I'm going to touch you. Don't freak out." Her hand reached Lauren's waist and pinched.

"Eeek!" she yelped, almost jumping out of her skin.

"Sorry." said Katarina as her hand slowly slid upwards on Lauren's torso. "Are you still ticklish?"

"No!"

She gave her another pinch a bit higher and the response was similar. Sure not... she snickered. When she reached her arm in front of her chest, she pretended to be surprised. "Are you covering up? Really?"

"No... I was just... scratching my arm..." said Lauren awkwardly before lowering her arms. Little did she know she was baring everything to the woman in front of her.

"I gotta draw a few symbols, then I'll start." she smiled, taking in every inch of her victim in front of her. "Try not to frolic." She moved her index finger around Lauren's chest and stomach to 'draw' her symbols. She didn't really have to pretend, as she doubted Lauren would recognise any of them. Her finger just playfully danced on the squirming woman's body, gently brushing over her tiny nipples every once in a while. It amazed her how the little nubs hardened from just that. Poor girl must have never had them played with. She assumed she could probably make her climax from nipple play alone, but that was not really her intention. She snapped a few more pictures from up close, then placed her hand on Lauren's left tit and started speaking indistinctively.

"Why there?" whined Lauren, trembling under Katarina's touch.

"Because that's where the heart is." replied Katarina with a sneer.

Lauren just groaned. She could feel her nipple eagerly poking into Katarina's soft palm. Traitor... But more importantly, she felt another rumble from her tummy. There was a battle going on in her stomach, and her body was losing it. "I need to use the bathroom..." she groaned.

Katarina heard it but kept on chanting, slipping a "soon" inbetween two verses. Lauren only hoped that soon would be coming real soon.

"Hurry! Need to go! Badly!" she whined a minute later.

Katarina ignored her pleas and continued chanting. She slowly slid her palm from Lauren's chest down towards her flat tummy. Lauren couldn't tell whether the pressure she applied was her malice or actually part of the purification ritual, but it was definitely not making her any more comfortable.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" she pleaded. Her little asscheeks flexed as she was straining to keep in what was preparing to be the worst case of diarrhea she had ever had.

After one final push, Katarina stepped back. "Done." she announced, a wicked grin on her face.

That was all Lauren had been waiting for. She practically slapped Katarina aside as she pounced blindly onto the toilet, mere second before a loud and wet explosion. She was extremely close to crapping herself in front of Katarina while standing completely naked in a bathtub. It was damn hard to endure the ritual as it was, let alone if that had happened. She would have literally died of embarrassment. She still just might.

Soon, Lauren felt a wet cloth on her face, as Katarina had wiped the area around her eyes clean of the vinegar. As clean as she could, anyway. "Better?"

"Yes... Thank you..." she panted, gripping the sides of the toilet. The pure satisfaction of being able to do her business into the toilet even made her forget about her state of undress.

When she opened her eyes, she could see Katarina washing her hands and the cloth in the kitchen sink. In the kitchen! Or course she could see the kitchen. The toilet was situated right in front of the bathroom entrance, and there was no door to offer any privacy. She could see the entire little room. More troubling, the entire room could see her sitting on the toilet, naked as the day she was born. She just hoped she could stand up soon, before the Sisters returned.

Alas, not soon enough...
