Emma stood at the doors of the Asylum. Just stood there staring. Memories flooding back to her, painful memories. She needed to do this. She needed to face it, face herself. To grow stronger, to advance her knowledge, there were so many reasons to go through those doors. Her primary reason was for research, or at least that is what she told herself. Her palms were slightly moist, she had already activated the blush, and it would be a shame to waste the vitae. She tugged at her very short plaid skirt, straightened her pigtails, and looked down at herself. Too many buttons. She undid enough so that her breasts were threatening to pop out of her shirt. Maybe she should have gone with the naughty nurse, but decided the seductive school girl was much better.
She opened the door and walked in. The place was amazing, a playground of delights. She wanted to see it all to understand it all. But first she needed to understand more about herself and maybe learn to trust in something again. That was what she really wanted was to trust again. She wanted to experience things like spanking and blindfolds, oh and role-playing she so loved pretending. But first she needed to watch the submissive/Dom interactions. She needed to see how it should be done, not with mind control spells but with real care and trust. She had done all the reading up on it that she could. And now understood what was done to her was wrong on so many levels. But if she was to serve the domain and serve the prince, she needed to move past her past. And reading about it was not working, she needed to see and maybe experience. If she couldn't move past this she wouldn't be any good here, she would fail to settle in as she had done everywhere else. She needed to find herself, as hokey as that sounded. She knew she could kick serious ass. She knew she could control herself. What she didn't know was if she could lose control of herself and still be ok. The last time she lost control she beat 6 men to death, and she wasn't even hungry, just angry.
Anger was no longer a feeling she wanted. She now had courage, she knew she could go on, conquer anything she set her mind too. She also knew her own pride had gotten in her way before. Her pride hurt for a long time after... How could she have allowed herself to submit? to degrade herself? She knew she couldn't fight the magic but what if she had tried? She needed to know if she could work in the domain and keep her pride intact, to serve another yet remain who she was. She wanted equal footing, but that was never possible, or was it?
With great resolve Emma stood in indecision as to which way to go. Theatrics dazzled her as did people suspended above the floor. But how to find the rooms she seeked?
