Holly Chooses Her Master

"You did what?!" Holly asked her sister again in disbelief "What were you even thinking?"

"He's been really cool about it so far" Maisie tried to reassure her "I mean, he kind of looked like he wanted to do something to me, but he didn't. I have this under control. If I didn't tell someone I trust, then I could have ended up being controlled by someone I don't. Do you know how much that thought has terrified me ever since I found out about this stupid curse?"

"I get that, but you have put everyone in danger now" Holly scolded her sister "Me, Mel, Ellie, Kylie. Trust me, he is not going to be able to keep this kind of information to himself. Now your friend knows about our curse, other guys will too. And the rest of us are going to get claimed by God knows who"

"You just need to tell someone like I did Holly, you have guy friends. There must be at least one you can trust. Or maybe one of your superiors at work? They would get into all kinds of trouble if anything happened between you and them"

"You are so unbelievably naive" Holly told her sister in an exasperated tone.

"Maybe, but sitting around hoping nothing happens with this curse until it does seems like the more stupid plan" Maisie responded "Look at Aunt Carly's situation"

Holly sighed.

"Fine, you made your decision, I'll just have to adjust accordingly" she told her sibling "But if he does anything untoward to you with this power. Anything at all. You tell me right away, okay?"

"Of course. I love you Hol"

"Love you too Maise"

After putting the phone down, Holly sat on her bed and contemplated the situation she now found herself in.

She could hardly blame Maisie for doing what she had done. That one friend had always been so in awe of her sister that there was a genuine chance he might do what he was told and disregard her curse. On the other hand, she worried it could go the other way and he might start acting out on all the secret desires he so obviously held towards Maisie.

But the more pressing issue for Holly was how to deal with her own situation. She had hoped to go through her whole life never having to explain her curse to anyone. Or at the very least wait until she was married to someone she completely trusted to share her secret with. She was far too smart and pragmatic to leave this to chance now though. She knew that if she didn't choose her master, fate would choose one for her. And that choice felt imminent if she didn't act.

But who did she trust not to take advantage when given total power over her? She had male buddies for sure, but nobody like Maisie's friend. As much as she didn't like to think about it, she was aware that most, if not all of them, wanted to fuck her. Not because they were creeps or bad people, just because they were men, and most men wanted to fuck her. That wasn't even something they could control. She could tell a gay guy, but she didn't much fancy being turned into a boy for them. Or maybe she could confide in an older guy, a trusted mentor from her work or academic life, both of which she had been thriving in until this spanner had been thrown into the works. But who was to say they would behave any better than a younger man when they were given complete power to do whatever they wanted to her.

There were no good options here, but if Holly wanted to have any control over her own fate she needed to tell someone about her curse today. It really did feel that urgent.
