Training begins...
Emma awoke an hour or so later, she felt as though a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
Her wrists were freed, but she was still naked underneath the robe. She needed to empty her bladder and had no idea what to do, or where to go.
She coughed gently and her mother entered the comfortable salon a moment later.
'Time to go dear. It's the beginning of your education and you will learn a great deal about yourself in the next few days. You won't see me until the weekend, but I will be staying here until Sir James arrives.'
Emma stood up and followed her mother. They walked along a long corridor, which ended at a carpeted wooden staircase. They descended several levels and the wood became stone.
The walls were made of rough stone now and at the bottom of the steps, Emma and her mother stopped in front of a heavy wooden door.
Emma's mother rapped on this door and it was opened by a large, semi-naked man, who bowed his head to Emma's mother.
'Please follow me' the man spoke quietly and walked ahead. Emma noticed that he was wearing an anal plug, rather like those that James had presented to her in Corfu.
The corridor reminded Emma of photographs of prisons, with many metal doors and all were closed.
The last door was open and inside Emma saw a narrow bed and on the wall, a flat screen television.
'This is your cell, Emma. You will sleep here and study and experience your training. You will leave to eat and to shower and clean yourself inside. You will be naked at all times and do whatever is asked of you without complaint. If you resist, you will be punished.'
Emma glanced at her mother, who kissed her on the cheek.
'I'll see you in a week and I hope you will gain much from this experience.'
Emma entered the tiny cell and sat on the bed.
The man reappeared in the doorway and asked Emma if she'd like to visit the bathroom and Emma nodded.
'Please take off your robe and follow me.'
The man took hold of Emma's wrists and joined them together, attaching a leash to the connector and walked in front of Emma, leading her like an animal.
In the large, modern bathroom, the man freed Emma's wrists again and she emptied her bladder.
There was a bidet, which Emma used and an unfamiliar hot-air blower, which Emma was instructed how to use to dry her body.
Emma cleaned her teeth, with the toothbrush that was handed to her by the man and then he asked her to follow him again.
She held out her wrists and he reattached the leash to them.
Inside the tiny cell, Emma noticed that the bed had a chain attached to the frame. The man hooked the catch into the ring on her collar and she was now truly confined.
There was a pile of books next to the bed and the man, who told Emma that his name was Adrian, advised her to read them.
Adrian left the cell and closed the door, locking it with much jangling of keys.
Emma stood up and tried to see how far she could move. The chain attached to her neck collar was just long enough for Emma to stand and walk two steps. Emma sat back on the bed again and then the television screen flickered into life.
