The Awful Truth

Not long after Maisie had shut herself in the bathroom there was a banging on the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Em" a distraught sounding Jessie called out from the other side of the door.

Maisie opened it, let her daughter in and immediately drew her into a tight hug before pulling away and placing a finger to her lips to indicate that the ensuing conversation should remain private.

"I'm sorry Em, that was definitely not okay. I honestly don't know what came over me. It was like I lost my freaking mind for a moment or two!" Jessie apologised profusely.

"He was commanding you" Emily whispered.

"What?"

"Craig is your master, right? He was giving you commands. Jessie strip, Jessie suck her tit, Jessie finger her pussy, ignore her if she objects. He must have given you an overriding command in the past not to notice or remember any of the other stuff he makes you do through the curse"

Jessie's mouth and eyes widened in horror as her face turned white as a ghost.

"But...." she paused as she tried to take this in "How would you even know the curse was real?"

"Because I triggered mine too. I told someone I trusted just after my eighteenth birthday, but it turned out I got it wrong and he used it to **** me. That's why I had to leave England" Well, at least some of that was true, and the rest of it was some pretty decent ad libbing, all things considered "I figured out Craig was your master at dinner the other day when Kelly mentioned the curse right in front of him and nothing happened. Plus he seemed to already know about it, he was only surprised your other relatives were affected too"

"Shit, this is bad. This is really bad" Jessie realised "That explains why I suddenly fell in love with him out of the blue. It never felt completely right. Damn it! So what the fuck do I do now?"

"We have to play it cool" Emily advised her "If he susses out I'm onto him, or you that know what he's doing, he could command you to forget all of this, to hate me and not believe a word I say. He also has the knowledge now to expose your cousins to his friends if he wants to"

"Oh my God, I've fucked this for everyone!" Jessie stressed "I should have listened to my Dad. He knew this would happen!"

"No, trust me. It's going to be fine. You are so fucking smart Jessie. Way more than I am. You will know exactly what to say and how to play this. For tonight, we head back to yours. He's probably had his fun for this evening anyway, and we can start to figure this out together. Regarding your cousins, I think we probably have to tell them about..."

There was another knock on the door, abruptly ending the conversation.

"Can I come in girls?"

Jessie looked across at Emily, who nodded, before she responded.

"Sure, babe"

Craig was rubbing the back of his head nervously and looking sheepish as he entered. Maisie couldn't really see this guy as a monster, just a horny teenager given more power than he was able to control.

"Is everything cool?" he asked.

"Sure" Jessie smiled as Emily also nodded.

"Look, Em, I'm sorry things got a bit crazy there. That was all my fault" he half admitted "The two of you together like that was just so hot and I kind of got carried away. But some of what I said definitely wasn't cool"

"No, it's fine I understand" Emily reassured him "I think I've decided that kind of thing isn't for me. But you have to try everything once, right?"

"Sure" Craig smiled with relief "Thanks Em. You are fucking awesome, you know that?"

"I think Em and I are going to get dressed and head back to mine" Jessie explained "We'll just take it easy for the rest of the evening and sleep off the wine"

"Yeah, of course" Craig nodded "I guess you could use an early night before your first day at college here, huh Em?"

Oh shit. Maisie had almost forgotten about that. On top of everything else she was having to deal with at the moment, now she had to go back to fucking school.
