Turning tables

Feeling the sudden influx of Laura's memories was like diving headfirst into an icy lake – it was shocking, overwhelming, and for a moment Juliette thought she might drown in them. She could feel Laura's triumph when she first wore Lasse, her twisted delight in wearing him a second time, and the arousal when she pleasured herself in his body.

Among all these memories, one stood out like a bolt of lightning in the darkness - Laura's plan to skin Juliette if things became too risky. She gasped, clutching at the heart within Laura's skin. A pang of betrayal shot through her, followed by a swell of righteous anger.

"So, this was your plan, Laura?" she whispered to the empty room. Her voice sounded odd to her ears, soft and feminine in a way hers never was. "You would have done this to me?"

Her initial shock was swiftly replaced by a sense of relief. She was glad she took this step before Laura could. She was also relieved to know the power dynamics of this strange transformation. With the acquired memories, she knew that she could control Laura now, just as Laura had controlled Lasse, and intended to control her.

She could feel Laura's consciousness still lurking somewhere in the back of her mind. But she knew what to do. As Laura did with Lasse, she quashed that consciousness, watching it fade until it was nothing but a vague whisper at the back of her mind. Now she was the only one in control.

Determination washed over her, chasing away the lingering shock and betrayal. "I'll do what I need to survive," she murmured, clenching her fists. "I won't become anyone's puppet." She had no intention of becoming the mindless **** Laura had intended her to be.

As Juliette fully embraced her new identity, she felt a sense of satisfaction. Laura's plans had backfired. In her attempt to control her, Laura had instead given her the power to control Laura.

The excitement was palpable, yet Juliette knew she needed to remain cautious. She now knew of Laura's dark side, the one she hid so well from others. This was a side of Laura that Juliette had never imagined existed, and it both frightened and intrigued her.

A new day awaited Juliette, full of possibilities and challenges. As she moved to the mirror, a vision of Laura stared back at her. It was a chilling sight, yet it brought a smile to her face. It was her turn to be in control, to lead the narrative. "Let's see how you like being worn, Laura," she said, a grim smile playing on her lips.
