When Sue opened the door to Kristy's room the next morning, she was shocked at the sight that greeted her. Kristy was sprawled on the bed, hair in disarray, covered in cum, her body shivering uncontrollably. Her skin has a grey tinge to it and her eyes were glazed & puffy.
"What's happened?" Sue demanded.
Kristy wearily raised her head to look at her Mistress.
"I'm sorry Mistress," she said. "Mistress A took me to her club last night and ever since we returned, I haven't been able to sleep. She gave me something that prevents my body from relaxing & the slightest movement is enough to make my body react."
"I see," Sue said sharply. "Stay here, I'll return for you later."
She turned sharply on her heel and strode swiftly & angrily out of the room. She was sure that this was not what David had intended when he had handed Kristy over to his aunt last night! Reaching his room, she rapped sharply on the door, entering when he invited her in. There were red spots of anger on her cheeks as she turned to face him.
"We have a problem!" she stated baldly. "You aunt has almost ruined Kristy!"
"Explain please," David said.
Sue proceeded to describe the state that she had found Kristy in, emphasising the complete physical exhaustion that was so apparent.
"This was not what I agreed to!" David said angrily. "Wait here."
He strode out of the room and down the hallway into the adjoining wing. Sue waited impatiently for him to return but it was almost 30 minutes later when she heard his footsteps striding down the hallway. As he entered the room, she noticed he was carrying a glass vial in his hand. Showing it to Sue, David explained that his aunt had confessed she had slipped an extra dose of Denicum into the water that Kristy had drunk on her return from the club. It had been her intention to use the girl again later that night but she had fallen asleep. As Sue opened her mouth to angrily protest this callousness, David held up his hand to forestall her.
"I have already expressed my severe disapproval to my aunt," he said. "I have also advised her that instead of handing over Kristy's training to her, I would prefer that she leave the island."
Once again Sue opened her mouth to speak, but David again motioned her to silence.
"Can you promise me that from now on you will keep in mind that you are a Mistress and that you will not soften your attitude towards Kristy during training sessions?"
Sue opened her mouth to quickly agree and then paused. She had already fallen into the trap of identifying too closely with Kristy and she knew that to do so again would mar the chances of Kristy becoming everything that she showed the potential of being. Her eyes turned thoughtful & David nodded to himself, pleased that Sue was not responding instinctively, but rather was making a calm & considered decision. Finally she raised her eyes to his & nodded.
"I can promise you that I will not soften again," she told David. "We have come so far already and Kristy has so much potential now that we have broken through those vile walls she's kept around herself. I won't risk ruining that by becoming an ineffective Mistress!"
"Well said, my Darling," David said approvingly, wrapping his arm around her shoulder & pulling her into a warm embrace. "Now we must undo the damage my aunt has caused! I'm really at a loss to understand her behaviour last night. She has never before overstepped what is acceptable severity when it comes to training!"
Sue's eyes hardened. "That is no justification for what she has done to Kristy!" she exclaimed.
"I agree," David said, "which is why I have asked her to leave the island. However, I insisted that she hand over the antidote to Denicum immediately and she has done so. Please now go to Kristy & administer the antidote. While you do that I will see that a hot bath is run for her with some soporific essential oils. Get her to the bathroom & cleaned up, then take her back to her room. We will let her sleep this morning to recover the energy she has lost."
Sue nodded, then paused. "David, I think we may have to do more than just let her sleep," she said. "Do you think you could ask your personal nurse to insert a saline drip. Kristy is badly dehydrated & I don't want to risk her becoming seriously ill from her ordeal."
David put his finger under Sue's chin & tilted her head up so her eyes met his. He dropped a light kiss on her lips.
"This is just one of the many reasons why I want to marry you," he said. "You have the steadiness of character and foresight to anticipate potential problems. Go & see to Kristy, I'll arrange for the nurse to come by."
Master & Mistress moved out of the room, descending the stairs together before going their separate ways. David to the study to call the nurse, Sue to the kitchen where she poured a glass of cool, fresh water & mixed the antidote into it. She then returned to Kristy's room where the woman was once again slumped across her bed.
"Sit up!" Sue commanded in a stern voice.
Slowly & wearily, Kristy struggled to obey & finally managed to get herself into a sitting position.
