All Chapters of THE VICTIMS: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I didn't move an inch while Aida put one ensemble after another in front of me, trying to determine which would appeal most to Lord Lothaire's sense of style.In the end, I found myself wearing a deep crimson silk shirt that appeared to be missing several buttons at the top, causing it to flop open and expose my breasts, a black lace bra with matching underwear, the most uncomfortable black leather pants man has ever created, and a pair of the most uncomfortable black leather pants man has ever created.In addition, she wore a wide silver belt, shiny black high-heeled boots that caused pain in my ankles and calves and black leather cuff bracelets that encompassed most of my forearms.Next came the earrings. Aida used a little cannon quite similar to the one that Lord Lothaire had used to set my tag to pierce my ears because I had never had that done before.When I looked in the mirror at the end product, I couldn't believe I was looking at myself. I couldn't believe it.The naive youn

Aida showed me the way to the elevator and pressed the button that would take me to the highest floor.As it moved closer to whatever new version of Hell Lord Lothaire had in mind, I began to experience some strange sensations.The dazzling lights over my head gradually transitioned from pure white to a kaleidoscope of hues as they continued to alter.As I held out my hand, I observed the droplets of color as they spread across my skin and moved up my arm toward my shoulder.When the colors got to my throat, I started to taste each one individually. There was a lovely banana, in addition to green apple, blueberry, and cherry.Next to her, Aida said, "Liberty, are you experiencing any symptoms of illness?"When I turned my head, I could just make out the woman's outline through the blur of colors moving over my field of view."I'm alright," I exhaled, even though I was approaching my destination. I felt really calm.I had to squint to see that she didn't truly believe what I was saying

I couldn't help but chuckle as I leaned into Aida for support since my legs felt like they were turning into rubber.I said, "Were you aware that colors have strange tastes?"Although Aida did not respond to my question, she did give me a goofy grin.While watching a butterfly flit over her head, I told her, "I mean it; colors taste strange."When the elevator doors opened, I spotted my new acquaintance Lara standing on the opposite side, with a substantial man supporting her arm.I cried, "Lara!" before collapsing into her arms and giving her a bear hug. "I missed you!"The man looked at us and said, "Oh crap." Lara, what did you gift her for her birthday?I couldn't help but chuckle as I grabbed Lara by the hands and pulled them until the other person let go of her. "She gave me a hug, stupid," I said.We were grinning and laughing as we went around in circles together, which caused the folks around us to look at us as though we were completely nuts.I wanted to share my finding wit

When I came in the middle of the night, I felt like I had spent the previous night sucking on a pair of old sweat socks.I had to brush dry gunk out of my eyelashes before they would open, and when a bolt of lightning flew through my brain, I immediately wished I had kept them closed. I had to rub dried gunk out of my eyelashes before they would open.A woman's voice could be heard above me saying, "Good evening."I cautiously opened my eyes, hoping that it wouldn't hurt as much as it had the last time, and as I glanced up, I saw Aida staring down at me with concern in her eyes."How are you doing?" she inquired. "I'm OK."The only sound that came out of my mouth as I turned away and buried my face in my pillow was an audible "ugh."I could feel the edge of the bed sink as I listened to her sigh, and she said, "Yeah." "It appears that Lara gave you one of the special tablets she manufactures," you said."Here," she said, handing over a cup, "sip this."I could see, through the cloud o

Aida comforted me with kind words as she held me tight and waited for me to cry myself to exhaustion.After finally weeping myself to oblivion, she wiped the tears away from my eyes soothingly."Are you done?"Are you ready?" she said, stroking her palm down the length of my back. "If I don't get you ready, we'll be late."As Aida rapidly reapplied my makeup and restyled my hair, all I did was nod and sit still in the chair.She assisted me in putting on an outfit identical to the one I had been wearing the night before. The only difference was that the arm cuffs she put on me this evening cinched securely closed and had little silver loops down three of the sides.As she watched from a distance, she gave a downcast nod of approval.She reattached the leash to my collar and walked me back into the waiting room. As we went through the door, I had a momentary loss of balance."Aren't we going in?" I inquired while craning my neck to get a better view of the door behind me.Over her sho
