Victoria, and her past is catching up to her

Damien stood, awkwardly adjusting himself so that the erection Nymeera was coaxing out of him didn't prove too uncomfortable. Nymeera sat up as he stood, smiling idly at him. "Bored already?" she teased, watching as the television showed Suki purchasing her new chess set. Damien was glad the Hotel seemed to give the girls things to do outside of trying to please him sexually. As fun as sex was, if it was the only thing you did, it'd get pretty old pretty fast.

"Well I'm not really one for television," Damien said with a shrug, folding his arms and gesturing for Nymeera to get up. "I prefer books to tv, but I'm not the type of person who can sit in his room all day either."

"No you prefer sitting in your classroom all day," Nymeera teased, gliding up and out of the bed so elegantly that Damien was sure magic had to be involved. He started to fix the covers of the bed, smoothing out the wrinkles they'd caused, and ignoring the look Nymeera was giving him. "You know you have servants for that..."

"Your little foxes? I think I'd prefer my bed without the purple hair in it thanks," Damien said with a grin.

"Some purple hair can be nice to find in your bed... Not who I meant though," Nymeera's smile widened, her deep brown eyes glittering mischievously behind her glasses. Damien tried not to notice how beautiful she looked while she was scheming. "You recall I mentioned 'chores' the Contestants could perform to earn BP? I have a list posted of tasks they can perform for you. Cleaning your room, cooking your meals, eating with you...cleaning you," Nymeera's grin turned seductive and Damien felt his cock throb. Damn this younger man's libido... "And a nice healthy bonus if done in...uniform. It's good that you're self sufficient, women like that in a man, but you're cheating them out of BP if you do everything yourself. Think of the economy..."

"You want them to be my servants?" Damien questioned, looking over the room he would be sleeping in the next 30...well 'days' didn't seem to be an appropriate measure of time anymore. "Here I thought the goal was to make them into sex slaves."

"A girl can be two things," Nymeera giggled with a wink, Damien just frowned at her. He wasn't really interested in servants, he told himself he wasn't really interested in sex slaves either but a primal part of his brain subconsciously seemed to favor the idea because his erection just throbbed painfully in his pants. Biology was tough to fight... "But the real goal is for them to develop bonds with you. They can't do that if they avoid you except when necessary. I'm just 'helpfully' pushing them in the right direction."

"You're a regular cupid," Damien said dryly, finishing up the bed and heading out the door. He wanted to explore around himself, especially now that he'd gotten to see some of the resort through the girls' eyes, and if Nymeera was going to be forcing them all together, meeting and talking to them like actual human beings might help curb some of her more **** tendencies.

He didn't see Nymeera's wicked grin behind him as he left, nor did he see her touch the remote, pressing the button marked 'Victoria.'

Victoria was feeling conflicted...more so than usual. The dark presence in her head, "Call me Vicky. I'm not just thoughts anymore, I'm basically you, just more free," was eager to talk, and difficult to ignore. "You can't ignore me forever, you'll have to talk to me Victoria. You KNOW I won't just go away..." Victoria clutched at her crucifix and the dark thoughts receded momentarily, allowing her to quell the rising dread welling up in her heart. The current cause of her conflict was Crystal, and how she'd somehow pushed the other girl to tears moments ago. She didn't disagree with anything she'd said, and she wasn't going to apologize for defending her faith, but she also didn't intend on hurting Crystal, and didn't really understand how she did it.

"I wouldn't worry about her too much," Gabriella said from behind, sliding her tongue along the straw of her sparkling water suggestively. "I don't know Crystal's story, but she's tough. Tougher than any of us if I had to make a bet." Gabriella offered a small smile, but Victoria could tell her heart wasn't in it. Her first thought was manipulation, there were plenty of women in prison who seemed eager to be your friend at first, just to take advantage of you later.

"Let's offer her a Personal Lesson? We can make that little oral fixation she has apply to us as well as the Master." Victoria squeezed her eyes shut as a wave of pleasure washed over her, the temptation to give in, do as her dark self urged, tantalized her. The image of Gabriella, on her knees, that sharp tongue put to use between her former Coach's legs made her tremble... Maybe it was a mistake to team up with anyone... Maybe she should isolate herself? Try to minimize contact with everyone? "But then how do you win? You want that wish don't you?" She did...fuck she did...

Crystal came back from the restroom looking like her old self, which meant a cold frown on her beautiful pale features and an icy stare directed at Victoria. Victoria felt her back stiffening, she'd meant to apologize, but Crystal got her hackles up. In prison showing weakness meant becoming a doormat to be stepped on and abused, and Victoria couldn't break that habit.

"So, what have we decided?" Crystal snipped, reapproaching the two. Victoria found her jaw clenching, was she just not going to talk about what just happened?

"We haven't decided on anything yet," Gabriella said neutrally, "We were just hoping you were okay." Crystal sniffed derisively.

"You're going to need to get better at lying," she said, "Because you're not fooling me into thinking you actual care."

"What is your problem?" Victoria cut in, no longer interested in apologizing to her former squad member. "You're acting like a bitch, and don't you dare tell me it's the Transformation, it may have been a decade ago but I remember you. Always sniping at others, keeping to yourself, you never liked listening to instructions, or advice! The only one who seemed to be able to get you to do anything was Summer, and even then it wasn't like you did anything enthusiastically. You acted like you were so much better than everyone else, above cheerleading as a whole."

"I was."

"Excuse me?" Victoria blinked, taken aback by Crystal's answer, and the cold way she said it. Gabriella was looking very uncomfortable and resigned herself to staying out of it.

"I WAS better. I WAS above it. I was right. The only reason I did the stupid cheerleading thing was because Summer was nervous about being among a group of strangers and wanted me there to look after her. I never wanted to be there, and you're right, I did think I was above it all, and years later I passed the bar, became a lawyer, a good lawyer! I helped people, a made people whole when their relationships broke to pieces. I saved children from being pushed into the system, I brokered terms to protect young women from retributive husbands. I was smart, I was effective, and I didn't need any team spirit, or can do attitude nonsense I got from you to do so. We're not your students anymore Victoria, we grew up, we made something of ourselves. Don't you dare lecture me like you know me. At least none of us spent the past decade behind bars." Victoria felt physically struck at that, shame burning inside of her as her gaze slid away from Crystal's icy stare.

"Fucking bitch."

"Maybe it was a mistake to think I could work with anyone else," Victoria said softly, clenching her fist and ignoring the voice in her mind.

"Whoa hang on!" Gabriella said suddenly, standing up and putting her smaller, slimmer form between the toned Victoria and curvy Crystal. "Let's not forget who the real enemy is here. Getting this out is good, we don't want festering negativity between us, but Nymeera is the one who put this all together."

"Nymeera didn't make all our mistakes..." Victoria said softly, her faded green eyes looking downcast.

"Look, I'm not gonna stand here and say I'm comfortable with your past. I'm not, and it's hard for me to be around you..." Gabriella said, at least getting Victoria to look at her, though a pang of guilt flooded her body, followed instantly by a flush of arousal. "She says that now. What if we were to introduce her to some of our talents? I'm sure she'd be singing a much different tune. Just relax Gabby...we won't hurt you." If this was her pep talk it wasn't starting off well... "But for better or worse we're in this together. Nymeera wants us fighting and competing, because when she messes with us, she knows we won't help one another if we're at each other's throats, but cheerleaders are a team. We support each other, and prevent each other from falling. Despite everything, you taught us that. You told us the path to victory was as a team, and you said we could trust you on that because..." Victoria smiled, feeling lighter than she had for a long time.

"Because my name is 'victory.' I'm surprised you remembered that," Victoria said honestly, remembering why she made the little firecracker team Captain in the first place.

"It was way too silly not to remember," Gabriella grinned, turning to Crystal. "I can work with her, can't you?"

"Like I said before, I'll do whatever I have to...for Summer. One way or another she's making it out of this. She's a good person, maybe the best, and I owe her more than I can possibly repay. Help me help Summer, and I'll be your ally, but hurt her and I won't hesitate to cut you down." Crystal said it with a cold certainty, as though she'd already prepared herself to do exactly that.

"Summer...such a sweet girl. She's just my type though... Maybe a Personal Lesson would help her? Oh yes, there are so many lessons that could help a sweet girl like Summer."

Victoria shivered in a way that had nothing to do with the temperature.

"Well, that's an alliance if I ever heard one," Gabriella said, forcing a smile. "First thing's first...let's help each other get some new clothes. These are...not exactly casual clothes." Victoria looked down at herself...

Gabby was not wrong...

"Well I don't have any BP," Victoria said with a shrug. "So go on without me for now. Think I'm gonna check out my room..." Gabriella looked to Crystal for a moment, then back to Victoria.

"We could buy you some clothes...just to help you out," she offered, though she hesitated slightly...still, the offer was very kind. Crystal raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything to object.

"Thank you, but no," Victoria said regretfully. "If the clothes aren't expensive that would probably be fine, but honestly I don't mind being in this uniform right now. Actually it's kind of nice," Victoria smirked, "Reminds me of better times...though those better times weren't nearly so drafty..."

"Yeah, you told us about some of your own cheerleader days, usually when dealing with our fighting. Sorry about that by the way," Gabriella said with a bashful smile, "I know Syn and I got into it more than once."

"You were young," Victoria said with a smile of her own, "I'm glad you were so passionate about everything. It's why I made you Captain, you don't do things half way and you don't let anyone half commit. Not Syn...and not you," Victoria said turning toward Crystal.

"If you're thinking she's going to keep me in line this time don't worry. I don't plan on coasting through this while waiting for something better. I understand the stakes, and if you think I'm lazy you haven't seen me when I'm passionate about something."

"Well I look forward to seeing it."

"I look forward to seeing her 'passion' too."

Victoria sighed and left the group, what she needed to focus on right now wasn't clothes anyway, she needed to find a way to deal with this dark urge inside her.

"Like I said, call me Vicky." The fact that it kept trying to talk to her was just unnerving... "Rude! I'm not an 'it' I'm you, just a personified version of your sexiest desires. I know everything you know, and some things you don't..." Victoria blinked at that, how would a personified version of her dark thoughts know things she didn't? "Heh, interested in talking to me now? When the Transformation hit, I formed from your thoughts, using those fetishes as the base of my personality, but your memories and personality still helped shape that base. I don't like losing, just as much as you don't. I remember our time with all our students, especially our time with those particular students..." Victoria shivered again, wandering back toward the hotel at the center of the campus. What she would do to make it so none of that happened... She'd play this messed up game, at the least. "And Nymeera put in something else. I know how to switch control between us."

Victoria stopped moving so abruptly her skirt fluttered. "How?!" she demanded, not caring that she looked like a crazy person, shouting at the air.

"There we go. You're speaking to me. Good girl. I'd be happy to share the information with you too...but I think you'll just try to do everything you can to stop me from...stretching my legs, so to speak. If you were willing to allow me to come out though...I'd be willing to share." Victoria considered lying, telling her that she'd be able to come out every now and again...but considering that this 'persona' was literally inside her head, Victoria just didn't think that would work. "Pity. Well, if you ever find yourself dying to know...now you know the price." Victoria doubted that was the only way to find out. Surely there was something else that she could do to figure it out, or have someone tell her. At the absolute least Nymeera would know. "Yes, Nymeera. I'm sure she'd be happy to tell you...though I wonder what her price would be?" Honestly Victoria didn't want to know... "Holy shit! Is that Suki?"

Suki was dressed to kill in a small camisole that drew attention to her huge, and now hypnotic, tits, as well as tight little daisy dukes that hugged her curvy bottom like a second skin. She was also wearing something very...interesting underneath because Victoria could see the straps extremely easily. Immediately the hot campus air seemed stifling and even Victoria's skimpy cheer costume didn't feel breezy enough... Victoria didn't even notice the small group of purple foxes following the gorgeous girl around like some kind of Korean fertility goddess at first.

"Ah...are you um, heading to the room too?" Suki asked shyly, not looking at Victoria's face.

"All well and good, we're not looking at her face either! And I thought those things were seductive before! Yes, let's get back to the room. We have soooo much catching up to do..."

"I was but...I can wait if you like," Victoria said, trying very hard not to get sucked into Suki's cleavage.

"Oh, no it's fine. I..." Suki took a deep breath, which was REALLY not helping Victoria's gaze remain respectful. She could already feel herself losing a bit of control...feeling floaty...relaxed. Oh fuck...when was the last time she actually relaxed? "I suppose we have to speak to each other eventually. Let's go back together and...talk." Victoria seized her crucifix like a drowning woman clutching a life preserver in a storm that threatened to sweep her under. Was this really going to happen now? RIGHT now? Was she ready for this?

"Whoa...those tits are something else. Gotta watch out for them...or not watch..."

"I...I'm sorry," Victoria started, mentally laughing at herself. How could a mere apology possibly make up for what she'd done? She used her authority as Suki's coach to lure her into her office, alone, manipulated the girl into having sex without understanding what was happening, and then... Victoria's fingers rubbed her crucifix anxiously. She'd repented for her sins, sought forgiveness from God...but she hadn't been able to seek forgiveness from Suki, not that she deserved it.

"Oh! No, I meant...let's not do this here. Can we go to our room and then talk?" Suki asked, looking around nervously. God her body was so attractive, just as young and curvy as all those years ago thanks to Nymeera's magic. Victoria could feel the temptation to sin rise up within her, only this time it had a voice.

"Yes, take her back to the room and fuck her... She's so hot, so innocent. She's exactly our type. Exactly YOUR type. We've been denying ourselves for so long...don't we deserve a reward for being so good?"

"O-okay," Victoria said, her heart racing at the thought of being alone with Suki, her fingernails digging into the metal crucifix. She was weak, but the metal was strong, it grounded her, made her remember that doing evil wasn't a reward for being good. Being good was the reward...

The two of them walked together back to the mansion, Suki's foxes, for some reason, carried her purchases for her which consisted of clothes and a chess set, naturally. Victoria spent the walk back to the mansion trying to calm herself down, as well as quiet the voice in her head. Usually clutching her crucifix helped quell the dark desires within her, but when Suki was so close by it was far less effective. That shouldn't happen, God should help strengthen her no matter what. Was she truly so lowly and depraved that even God's symbol wilted before her sinful lusts? No...such a thought was ludicrous, she was the problem, she didn't want God's protection when the object of her desires was so close by. She was disgusting.

"Oh, hello there."

Victoria jumped a little as Damien of all people appeared at the entrance of the hotel to greet them. She'd been so focused on her own internal thoughts, as well as her eyes roaming to Suki's incredible body, that she missed him entirely. Damien offered them a terse smile, and Victoria noted his gaze dipping to Suki's chest, taking in its expansive bounty. She smirked a little, Damien was the only one immune to the hypnotic allure of her chest, and yet it still managed to draw his attention.

"Hello Master," Suki said with a smile, her lips parting slightly and her eyes fluttering as she stood a little straighter, hands clasped in front, tits up and out and so...so eye catching... Did her thighs press together? It was hard to tell when her boobs were so...big. Victoria ripped her gaze away to focus on Damien instead, trying to ignore Suki, and ignore the mocking laughter echoing in her mind...

"You uh...don't have to do that," Damien said sounding amused, though he didn't deny himself the view Victoria noted. "That's an interesting look, not one I'd peg you for usually. Nymeera's clothes shop really that bad?"

"Oh I just...thought the outfit looked good on me. I wanted to buy it." Suki's eyes seemed a little glassy for a moment to Victoria, but then again the girl never really seemed to be 'all there.' She always looked like she was thinking about some far out concept and simply forgot to pay attention to the things here on Earth. It was an attractive look on her for sure...

"Are you doing alright?" Victoria couldn't help but feel a pang of hurt shoot through her as Damien's gaze flicked to her when he said that. Suki just smiled and nodded, oblivious to the implication, but Victoria knew what he was REALLY asking... Trapped in some sick game by an all powerful being intent on turning them into sex slaves, and she was considered the greater danger for Suki... Well, she couldn't exactly blame him, the last time she and Suki spoke, she'd manipulated the naive girl into eating her out in what was likely her very first sexual experience. Victoria was a predator, and she'd already devoured Suki once...

"More like SHE devoured YOU. Come on...you remember how diligent her tongue was don't you? You can't tell yourself she didn't like it. That she didn't want it... We just provided the environment where she could be allowed to finally do something she didn't even know she'd always wanted. Don't you remember how hard you came on her inexperienced tongue?" Victoria shivered as, against her will, she remembered exactly that. Suki hadn't been particularly gifted, but for some reason that just made it feel so much better...

"Damien..." Victoria said in greeting, crossing her arms and trying to look uninterested in the gorgeous bombshell beside her.

"Victoria. Pleasure to see you again despite the...circumstances." Did he just check out her legs? Victoria's body was definitely younger and...tighter than before, but when standing next to Suki...well she wasn't going to let herself get swept up in the look like some lovestruck teenager. It did feel nice to be looked at again though, especially after 10 years removed from society. And men.

"Really? You and I weren't exactly close when we were teaching together at Franklin. Honestly I don't think I could've picked you out of a line up if you held a gun to my head." Victoria probably shouldn't be so cold, but she was feeling a little jilted by Damien's attitude towards her, and he wasn't exactly her type to begin with...

"Too confident in himself, and worldly despite his apparent age. Much more our type to have those young, cocky boys who thought they'd teach us what a 'real' man was like. Heh heh heh..." Victoria suddenly blushed, a feeling of deep guilt welling up inside her. That was right, HER type wasn't exactly laudable. Just... "Young. Dumb. Full of cum..." ...that.

"You okay?" Victoria blinked as Damien's voice suddenly softened, her faded green eyes looked up into his dark brown ones and were surprised to find something that looked like genuine concern nestled inside them. Suki was looking over at her too, curious but unwilling to intrude into the conversation...at least as much as her dynamite body would allow for.

"What do you mean?"

"Well it's just...you've been holding onto your crucifix really tightly this entire time, and just now you looked... I apologize if I'm off base. I haven't had to read emotions in awhile."

"You're not off base..." Victoria said, taking a deep breath and releasing her crucifix, letting the necklace fall against her chest like the weight of her sins. She felt her head bowing under that weight, but couldn't muster the strength to fight it. She was such a weak woman... "Suki and I were about to have a long overdue talk and I'm...not exactly thrilled about it. You're an Ethics Professor...what do you think my punishment should be?" Damien frowned a bit at that, and stood very still, looking down at Victoria like a parent overlooking a misbehaving child...which was insane as she was the only one here who was a match for him in age...but damn he was tall now...

"I don't really know the details of what happened," he said diplomatically, responding with a shrug. Victoria rolled her eyes, what a coward's way out of answering the question. She deserved whips, chains, to be locked up and punished. She deserved hellfire.

"Do you really need to?" Victoria shot back, her tone tense and angry. "I assaulted her, used my position as a teacher to coerce her into sex. Are the details really important at that point?" Victoria asked venomously.

"Of course they are," Damien replied, keeping his tone calm and neutral, like a personal lecture. "It's clear to me that what you did was wrong, and if we were talking about this 10 years ago I wouldn't have hesitated to say some punishment was in order...but a decade is a long time, and you've clearly been punishing yourself for all that time, not to mention the incarceration itself. After all that the question isn't whether or not you deserve to be punished for your actions, that's already occurred, the question is whether or not you deserve MORE punishment, and for that the details are what is important. It's easy for me, or anyone, to sit back without knowing and just judge you as a bad person, but I don't know what's in your head, or how you've changed in the past 10 years. I don't know what caused you to do what you did or how likely it is that you'll do it again, or even if punishing you further would help deter that. I just don't know...but what I do know, is that when Suki looks at you, she looks uncomfortable and nervous, but she doesn't look scared. She doesn't look at you like a victim looks at her assailant." Victoria's eyes shot open at that and she swung around to look at Suki, beautiful, gorgeous Suki...who was looking at her with those big wide eyes full of...concern? For her?

"You aren't scared?"

"I'm not scared of you Coach Kelley..." Suki said, looking away demurely. "But you did break my trust, and I don't know if I can ever get that back...I'm not smart enough to know when people are deceiving me, and with you I don't know if I ever will see you as someone who isn't trying to get me to do...things with them. I...I wish I wasn't like this, unable to tell when people are lying to me...but I am, and that means I have to trust people, and if I can't trust someone then how could they ever earn that trust back? It's impossible for me to tell whether you're being trustworthy or not, so it's impossible to earn back my trust once it's gone." That made Victoria's heart ache a little... Suki wanted to be able to trust her again, or at least it sounded like she did, but she clearly wasn't able to. Her MCI made it practically impossible for her to notice when someone was being ungenuine with her. She was such a sweet girl she just chose to trust everyone anyway, but once that trust was broken it was like dyeing hair for a blind woman. You could tell her all you wanted that the hair was back to normal, that trust had been restored, but since she couldn't see it, she could never truly know for sure.

"I'm sorry..." Victoria felt her face getting hot, tears beginning to form in her eyes. Her crucifix was so heavy, her sins forcing her to her knees, her forehead pressed against the ground... She resisted the pull, stayed on her feet, but that's where she felt she belonged. Crying on hands and knees, pleading Suki for forgiveness that she didn't deserve. She had never told her she was sorry before...had been locked away before she could. She really needed this.

"Do you two want a neutral third party to sit in?" Damien offered softly, taking a step back to put himself a bit more removed from the group, unconsciously giving the two of them more of a spotlight. Victoria almost smirked, her new 'Master' had some pretty good emotional intelligence. Almost as good as hers maybe, though her emotional intelligence was developed by predating on young men and women...a sword to cut through their defenses and leave them **** to her manipulations. His was...a shield, no a blanket, wrapping around someone to protect them, keep them warm and safe. Why couldn't she have turned out like that?

"Because that's no fucking fun."

"I think we'll be okay. Thank you sir." Suki's eyelids fluttered again and she smiled, her gaze sliding down Damien's body experimentally, head cocking slightly to the side as though considering something... Victoria wanted to tell her that she should really stop using those subservient phrases around Damien. His Transformation was going to be wrecking havoc on her right before their important talk!

"But if she's horny enough there'll be a better chance for make up sex."

"Shut up!" Victoria shouted loudly, not wanting to think that it was even possible her sinful dark urges would someone turn what was supposed to be a moment of reconciliation into yet another in a long line of fuck ups that Victoria had made in her life! She then noticed Damien and Suki looking at her awkwardly and she winced, hiding her eyes from them. Ignoring this other side of herself was proving to be quite the hassle... "Sorry. Not you..."

"Well, if you need me you can call me," Damien said taking out a Ny-Phone (Master Edition) that Nymeera gave him earlier. Victoria looked in her own phone and, sure enough, there was a contacts list with Damien's number, listed as 'Master' of course, as well as the numbers of all the other girls. Well, at least that was convenient.

"Thank you. I promise I'll do my best to be good a good sexual partner when it comes time for that," Suki said, sounding oddly determined. Damien coughed, and blushed, not quite knowing what to do with THAT. Victoria couldn't really blame him.

"We uh...you know...that's just an optional thing..." Suki blinked in her adorable confused way she did when she didn't understand something.

"But if I want to win I should be having sex with you right? Like a lot? Isn't that best?"

"I...you...well...that's just...uh..." Victoria smiled widely. For all his calm, cool and collected nature, Damien was broken completely from just a few sentences by Suki. "I think that you shouldn't do anything you don't want to..." he concluded lamely after clearing his throat. "Make sure you two air things out fully, get it all on the table...and good luck. Even if you don't resolve everything right away, it's best to start processing everything as soon as you can. It might not be possible to resolve everything, but resolve what you can, and you can deal with the rest later." Victoria smiled sadly, she'd need a lot more than luck, but she was resolved to do as Damien said and air things out completely. No sense in spending time together not knowing where they stood...

After leaving Damien they entered the hotel, then the elevator, and finally a lush hotel room, unlocked by their phones, decorated with what looked to be local flora and soft carpeting. It was a warm yellow color with purple floral wallpaper along the sides. There was a window allowing them to see out, over the campus and space enough on the couch for two people to sit comfortably in front of a modestly large television. Suki immediately picked out a spot for her chess set, atop a low glass coffee table near the couch. Victoria moved toward the bedroom, peeking in on the queen sized bed, yep single, and potted plant that would be her sleeping quarters...for tonight at least. There were even three chocolates on the bed.

"Well, I can tell you this at least. As far as being locked up somewhere, this place is only the second worst I've ever experienced..."

"Really?" Suki gasped with wide eyes that told Victoria the joke went right over her head.

"Uh, I meant of the two prisoners I've been to this one is much better..."

"Oh...I don't think I get understand," Suki frowned, looking at Victoria as though she were a particularly difficult chess puzzle. Though honestly Suki was pretty good at those...

"Nevermind... Oh, and don't eat the chocolates."

"Huh? Why not?" Suki asked, helping the foxes take her clothes into the bedroom and selecting a closet for herself. Victoria noted that there were only two...apparently Bottom Bitch didn't get a space for her clothes either.

"I don't trust Nymeera," she said, thinking about her Date Nite **** nauseously.

"Oh come on! You KNOW she's gotta have something fun in those chocolates. It's what you would do..." It's what the PAST Victoria would do. Victoria now was...better now... Well she was trying to be, and this was a good next step for her.

"I'll ask Dana what she thinks..." Suki said, looking the chocolates over like she really wanted to eat one, but thankfully held back. Honestly Victoria wanted to toss the plants out the window too, and check the bathroom for shampoo and soap and 'conditioner.' Honestly what couldn't Nymeera influence? The very AIR could be designed to turn them into sex starved sluts!

"Say what you will about her, Nymeera's got commitment..." That was not helpful!

"So..." Suki sat on the bed, looking at Victoria with a serious expression. Fuck no, not on the bed...please? Suki frowned a bit, and Victoria thought for a moment she must've made a face that Suki picked up on, which would be fairly surprising, but her gaze instead turned toward the foxes pooling around her on the bed, at her feet. "Um...I'm trying to have a serious conversation...could you all please...leave?" Suki asked the foxes, not sure what else to do. Honestly Victoria wasn't going to be much help either, but luckily the foxes seemed to understand, heading toward the door with big, sad looks on their cute little faces... Victoria looked away, she was NOT going to be taken in by the dumb animals! What did they want her to do? Take them on as pets? Who would even think of such a dumb thing to do?!

"Can we talk about this...somewhere else?" Victoria asked once the foxes had left, using their long, magical tails to shut the door behind them.

"Huh? I thought you were okay talking back in the room? Didn't we say that earlier?" Now Victoria was feeling bad because Suki was looking even more nervous...even more confused...even more...more...

"****..." Victoria was getting horny...

"No, it's fine just...not on the bed. Please?" she asked, trying to contain herself, her hand rising up to grab at her crucifix...it didn't seem to help, if anything her darker side just grew stronger. Fuck...fuck! Was she going to end up **** Suki? Her hand tightened on her crucifix, and the phone tucked neatly into the back of her skirt felt a bit heavier. Should she call Damien?

"Do you really just see me as some sex conquest?" Suki asked, her suddenly firm tone and hardened gaze snapping Victoria out of it. She blinked, suddenly that nervous, soft, **** girl was gone and the woman sitting in front of her looked...powerful.

"I..."

"Back then...when you called me into your office to discuss my performance on the team, I was really nervous. I wanted to make you proud of me, I wanted to live up to your expectations..." Victoria knew that, it was what she used to get Suki to do what she wanted. Undress... Lick... "When you told me do take off my uniform I really did think you just wanted to inspect my body for sprains and aches..." It had been so easy, normally there was a pretense of sex when Victoria got to that point, but with Suki she just trusted and obeyed her Coach, and it made Victoria's head swim...she drowned herself in lust, in sin, and from that point onward there was no turning back. She KNEW that she was going to have sex with Suki...no matter what.

"I'm sorry..." Victoria wished she was crying, wished she was on her knees, nose running, red faced, ugly crying. It was how she ought to be feeling, it was how she WANTED to be feeling...and yet, still, there was that part of her that still found that moment to be the hottest thing that had ever happened to her.

"And it will be again..."

"That was my first sexual experience..." Suki said, and Victoria felt the guilt hit her like a truck. She'd always suspected strongly, but had never known for sure... The fact that lust was tinged inside the feeling of debasement just meant Victoria wasn't fit to be saved. That was why the crucifix wasn't working right now, why her dark side felt so powerful in this moment... She didn't deserve to be saved. "It was nice..."

"What?"

"What?"

"...what?" Suki blinked, confused, but Victoria was the one who was actually floored. BOTH of her! Of all the things Suki was going to say, all the possible ways to go about having this talk, Victoria wouldn't have guessed she'd ever say those three words in that order if you gave her unlimited guesses over a million years! "Don't misunderstand. What you did was wrong, and bad, and I can't trust you...but I didn't figure those things out until afterward. In the moment... Well I was confused as to why it felt so good when you touched me, but I didn't want it to stop. I know now that you were using my sexual inexperience against me, like an expert sticking to book moves against a beginner who hadn't studied the opening. It still felt nice, and you were my Coach, I figured there wasn't any reason I shouldn't feel like that with you... Then you started to take off your own clothes, and even I knew that the offer to compare your body to mine was a shaky rationalization at best...but it felt good, and my hands seemed to make you happy... When you suggested I use my tongue I just...I just sorta...went with it..." Suki blushed bright red remembering the moment. Victoria's mouth was about to catch flies, listening to Suki play all this back from her own perspective was...hot, but it shouldn't be. She needed to be punished for this! What the hell was going on?

"I shouldn't have done it though... I was your teacher, your coach... I took advantage of you..."

"Fuck you shut up! We can leverage this! We can use this! SHE LIKED IT YOU BITCH!" Victoria set her jaw firmly. That isn't what Suki was saying, and her other self knew it.

"Yes, you're right, you shouldn't have and it was wrong of you." Suki's gaze hardened and she stared straight at Victoria, unblinking. For once, Victoria found herself not at all tempted by the valley of cleavage before her... Okay so maybe 'not at all' was a bit of an exaggeration. "When you were arrested, I was confused... I didn't know why you'd been arrested and asked several of my friends to explain it to me. When they described what you did I was more confused than ever... I told them that you did that to me, and it didn't feel bad at all..." Suki's face fell, her eyes went completely downcast. "Suddenly everything changed for me... My life was upended completely. I was a victim, your victim, and I didn't even know it." Suki's eyes were watering and Victoria's lust finally started to wane... She might've been depraved and unworthy of salvation, but she didn't like seeing her pupil cry...it hurt, and her own eyes were starting to redden...

"I'm sorry..." she choked out, swallowing hard.

"I had to go to counseling sessions, special counseling for people like me with mental impairment. They explained what happened and why it was wrong, helped me understand that I was taken advantage of, predated upon by someone I trusted... Used... I...it felt bad to lose that trust in someone I respected..." Fuck...Victoria was openly crying now.

"I'm sor-"

"But I never saw that moment...the things we did as bad... The situation was bad, the using me was bad, the breaking my trust was bad...but the sex was... It was nice... It actually kinda helped me explore sex a bit on my own. Sex was something I never really knew about, never really understood before. I still don't know much about it, not like you, not like someone like Syn...but that experience awoke me to a whole new world I never knew truly existed for...someone like me. That doesn't make what you did okay, it wasn't okay, and I'm within my rights to continue withholding trust from you...my counselors told me that...but they also said it was okay to take that experience and make something good out of it...and I did. I made myself grow. So don't... Don't you dare think of me as some victim who hasn't changed! For 10 years that's all people have ever seen me as..." Suki was crying now, her face somehow still managing to look beautiful even when adorned with tears... Absently Victoria was reminded of Suki's All Eyes on Me Transformation and knew now that ugly crying was impossible for the Korean smokeshow, but somehow Victoria imagined that she'd look just as good even without it...

"I'm..." Victoria trailed off as her own tears clogged up her eyes and nose. Suki may no longer be capable of ugly crying but she sure was... She wanted to apologize over and over again, but that wasn't what would help Suki the most right now. Damien was right, they needed to get everything out in the open. Suki might never be able to trust her again, but she deserved to know how deep Victoria's depravity went. Victoria owed her an explanation at the least... "I'm disgusting..." Victoria said, sniffling. "E-even now I...I'm aroused by hearing about what I did to you... Hearing that you...enjoyed it, even if it was wrong. My dark side is constantly telling me to do it again, telling me to have sex with you, take advantage of you...to use everything you've told me against you and make you..."

"But that isn't you-"

"Yes it is!" Victoria shouted, cutting off Suki suddenly before gasping, covering her mouth with her hands. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay..." Suki sniffed, drying her eyes, and still looking as pristine as ever, unlike Victoria. It was so fitting...Suki looked pure and gorgeous, an angel that could never be tarnished...and Victoria was a complete mess, her ugly outside only expressing the vile darkness she kept in her heart.

"I mean that...it IS me... Even though Nymeera's tampering made it...conscious, those are still my thoughts, my desires. I still enjoy younger men and women who are inexperienced. I'm turned on by a power gap between me and my victim... I've always been this way, always been aroused by students who didn't know better. When I called you to my office I knew exactly what I was doing, I'd done it before... I isolate my victims, put them in an uncomfortable situation where the more comfortable thing to do is just follow the authority figure, myself, and then I take advantage of them sexually. I'm not a pedophile, I don't get aroused by the bodies of children...but I might as well be. Mental children are still children... I deserve to go to hell for what I am... I want to go to hell for who I am..." Suki frowned, her mind trying to comprehend everything Victoria was saying. Victoria just sank down to the floor, a puddle of self loathing and dark desires mixing together until all she could be was depressed. She felt someone touch her hand...

"I told you I'm not a victim anymore...and I'm not a mental child. That's very insulting!" Suki looked very serious, holding Victoria's hand tightly. "I can't really understand what you're saying about yourself, I'm not smart enough...but I don't think you're as bad as you think you are..." Victoria laughed at that.

"You have no idea how bad I am... If you could see inside my head, listen to the dark voice in my thoughts, you'd never want to touch me again. You'd want to wash that hand of yours..."

"What are the thoughts saying now?"

"Tell her we feel absolutely awful about everything we've done. We want to make it up to her and we'd like to be given the opportunity to show that we've changed too."

"It's just trying to get me to manipulate you into sleeping with me again."

"Fuck you Victoria! You want her just as badly as I do!" Victoria couldn't argue with that...

"Well I'm not going to do that," Suki said firmly, "But I don't understand how those thoughts could still be you, if they're trying to manipulate me, and all you've done is warn me against them. Are you trying to manipulate me right now?"

"No! I mean... I'm not but...but you can't know that..."

"No, I can't, but I feel like I've gotten to know you a bit better, and that's a good thing." Suki tugged on Victoria's hand, urging her to stand up. The former cheer coach didn't want to stand, she didn't want to rise...she didn't deserve it, but Suki was insistent, and Victoria eventually had to give in, letting her legs start to tense, losing their weak, jelly-like apathy as her toned muscles started to work again, restoring power and poise to Victoria as she stood and rose to her full height. She even felt a little lighter... "So, did we get everything out in the open?" Victoria smiled subtly...

"Yeah...I think we did."

"Good Girls."

Victoria and Suki gasped as their vision suddenly went white for a brief moment. Pure bliss flooded Victoria's body and her legs, which had only JUST regained their normal strength, suddenly felt weak again. It was insane but she could HEAR Damien's voice in her ear, and suddenly she was feeling better than she had in...a long time. Dopamine washed the nasty feelings out of her brain and she felt a little light headed as a result.

"Fuuuuuck..." Vicky purred inside her head.

"Mmm wow...what was that?" Suki asked with a big, dopey smile on her face.

"Damien's Transformation," Victoria said, with a big dopey smile of her own. "Apparently telling us to air everything out was an instruction, and we just followed it. Didn't know he could call us good girls without actually being in the room though..."

"Oh yeah... Kinda want to follow more instructions now..." Victoria and Suki both devolved into giggles, and hugged each other, their bodies were already so close and they were both feeling so good.

"Mmm..." Victoria sighed, feeling Suki's soft, sensual body against her firm, toned form, her hand slipping along Suki's back softly, almost experimentally. She was kinda horny now, and it would be a shame not to be able to use this opportunity to... Victoria suddenly released Suki, and sprang away from her like she'd caught fire! "I'm so sorry! I..." Victoria trailed off, leaving Suki blinking in complete confusion.

"Um...it's alright. Don't worry about it...why don't we do something to get your mind off of it?" Suki smiled suddenly in a way that Victoria would've sworn was predatory if she hadn't known the girl. "I just got a new chess set, and I'm looking for someone to help me break it in. You play right?"

"I..." Well, if Victoria was being honest playing chess with Suki was probably one of the best ways to spend time with the girl without wanting to fuck her. Victoria was turned on when there was a power gap in her favor, and during a game of chess that power gap was not going to be in her favor... "Fuck it, why not?"

"Yay!" Suki exclaimed happily, like a little girl told she could get two desserts for dinner.

"Think she's ever played strip chess before?"

Victoria and Suki headed out to the main room of the hotel and gathered around the coffee table where Suki's chess set had already been set up by her fox fans...and Victoria realized suddenly that this game was going to be a lot harder to play than she originally thought. The coffee table was low to the ground, so whenever Suki bent forward to play a move...her massive, hypnotic cleavage was on complete display.

"Your turn..." Suki said impatiently as Victoria struggled to pull her zoned out brain back into her head. Well, at least she didn't feel like Suki's superior anymore...

"Hello my lovely viewers... Yes I mean you. Did you think I couldn't break the fourth wall? Darlings I assure you, by the end of this season that is the least of what I'll be breaking. It's almost time for the first day, well the prelude day, to end, and that means that if you want to send any fan mail to your favorites, or perhaps some hate mail if you so desire, now is the time. I'll be setting up a whole page just for you to gush about your favorites, and not so favorites. There's just a few rules...

Rule #1: No spoilers. I'll be reading EVERYTHING you write, and making sure none of it is going to give one Contestant an unfair advantage over the others. I can redact parts of fan mail or, if it is too maliciously spoilery...

Nymeera snaps her fingers, an a large garbage bin appears beside her. She winks.

Rule #2: Be sure to designate exactly who the fan mail is going to before writing your message. Anyone who doesn't clearly designate the recipient will have their fan mail instead go to me! I know no one here thinks of me as a vain woman...but sometimes a girl just needs a little recognition.

Rule #3: No **** threats, racial slurs, homophobia, or intolerance of any kind to any of my Contestants or the Master. If you're going to write hate mail, try to make it constructive, and if you're going to write hate mail to me...

Nymeera grins evilly as the garbage bin beside her suddenly catches fire, a plume of flame erupting out towards the sky.

"Try to make it...scintillating."
