~ The Alice's Mirror ~

Interlude 4

When Alice  regains consciousness,  she finds she is laying down in a clinic room. The lily on the bedside table smells very nice. Near the window, D. is here, sat down and reading the book she gave him. Did she give it to him? She does not remember doing that.

- I... Hello ?

- You comes back to life at last !

- Why am I doing here ?

( Click on the table to see the book )

- After I opened the champagne bottle, as you gently ordered me, I waited for you. As you didn't come back I took the liberty of climbing up. And I found you in the bathroom, unconscious, 

- I didn't succeed  in resuscitating you so I phoned a friend of me. She manages this clinic. You were left unconscious for two whole days.  By the way, I would like to thank you for the book. It's a very nice edition of Justine.

- I'm sorry... But I didn't remember anything.

That's nothing. Besides, here comes my friend, the Doctor A. She is going to explain everything.

( Click on the doctor and on Alice to two closer plans )

Alice thinks that the doctor A. is a very beautiful woman. She guesses that A. and D. had be in love. Perhaps they are still in love ? The doctor and D. are chatting together in front of the venetian blinds. Alice notices that the doctor is half-naked under the white coat. She just wears opened tights. No pants under her white coat !

- Well you were a great worry to us !

A. turns around while D. slips away. She sits down on the bed. Alice can smell the doctor's scent. A heady and sensual perfume. And Alice can not help blushing, can not help looking away when the coat comes undone, revealing the woman's naked womb. Alice is trembling while A. is speaking in a mellifluous voice, while she passes a gentle finger on the bare thigh revealed by the slitted nightdress.

- When he took you here, I thought that you have been rapped. Savagely.

Alice stammers a "I remenber nothing"

- I could think that he did it but I know him only too well. The appearances were deceptive for him. It's the reason he took you here. I know he talks about games to you. He tells me. He is my Master. He is a strict but fair Master. He takes only what the submissive agrees to give. When he rappes me, he just takes his slave. I am his slave. But he tells me that you don't like these sort of games. Isn't it ?

- I... No... er... Yes...

- You are very beautiful, do you know that ? I am a bit jealous of these pretty doe eyes. Mmmm ?... Well. Yes there were marks. But they disappear  in less than one hour. I examined you carefully during that ... catalepsy. Nothing. No physiological symptoms. The scanner did show nothing in your brain. You are in perfect health. But... I'll let you go and tomorrow you'll come to my practice. I'll hypnotize you.

- at 10 tomorrow morning. Here my  visiting card.

Alice answers with a timid yes.

Alice is disturbed. She is both eased because this woman is gone and disappointed. She would like that A. continues to caress her, that the light touches becomes more precise, that...

Alice is thinking "I am mad" She feels out of sorts and warm where varnished nails did not flit about.

The day after, Alice goes to the doctor A. office. She compliments Alice on her beauty and her dress. Alice thanks her, blushing. Then A. explains what she is going to do, how she is going to hypnotize her.

A. asks Alice for changing her clothes behind the screen and tells her she can find a more comfortable dress.

Alice, undressing her, thinks that the clothe is perhaps more comfortable but really short!

- Well. Lie down on the couch. Take it easy. And stare at the pencil.

Alice obeys. The pencil move slowly and her eyes begin to close...

- Sleep now. You are quiet. You are secure. You can sleep without fear.

The doctor's voice is gentle but deep as a cello sonata.

Now Alice is sleeping.

- When I'll touch your leg, you'll answer my questions.

A. caresses the Alice's thigh with her pencil.

- What was you doing in the bathroom while D. was waiting for you ?

The Alice's voice is a bit mechanical when she answers.

- I needed to have a pee and...change my panties.

- Why ?

- D. kissed me and he makes me... wet.

- Then what did you do ?

- I found the mirror. And it sucks me up.

- The mirror ? It does suck you up ! Explain me.

So Alice tells all. The subway, the two men. What they did, what they forced her to do. the dogs. Also she speaks about the other man, the one in the dream inside the dream.

Alice brings back the dream and the other dreams. Until A. wakes her up.

- You aren't the cause of all that things. I thinks it's not a medical problem. I thinks it's something like an enchantment, a black magic ritual. I gets some books at home. I'll read them this evening. May you bring me the mirror tomorrow. At the same hour ?

It's late when Alice comes back home. She has a light dinner with some fruits. She is thinking about this day, about the examination at the doctor's office.

She thinks it is time to search the mirror and she goes up to her bedroom, to the bathroom.

She finds the mirror behind the toilet.

The back has really many ornamentations. "Yes it can be opened." She exams closely the surface, finds the little clasp...

The mirror opens out showing the metallic, soft, dark surface.

Suddenly the mirror is lit up...
