"Rachel, Rachel let down your hair." Sure... but what else did she let down? Thanks again to kendo for his editing services. Enjoy. Red
The day seemed bright and cheerful when Hetta heard the voice that was whispering behind her ear. "She touched it," the statement was made straight and simple.
Hetta turned toward the voice and smirked to Daniel, her best friend in fairy land. "Was there any doubt?" she asked rolling her eyes.
"No. . . but don't you ever want to muck it up?" he asked, a hint of mischief in his eyes.
"Muck it up? The happily ever afters? Muck those up? Are you insane?" she laughed, then added, "of course, often. But you know I can't, if I do I'll have to live my own fairy tale and who wants that?"
Daniel grinned, and shrugged his shoulders. "I would be your hero Hetta." He smiled at his beautiful friend, thoughts of rescuing her ran through his mind. "You'd be grateful, and reward me justly," he winked.
Hetta laughed, her voice melodious to Daniel's ears. "Back to work my lovely friend." She kissed his cheek and descended to where the sleeping woman now rested on a bed of rose petals and lilac blossoms. Daniel sighed and imagined his own happily ever after with the notorious Hetta.
She grinned over her silly friend's statement and went to check on Aurora Ann, the young woman who she'd given a gift to as a child and who now slept because she touched the needle of a spinning wheel. Hetta did think for a moment, how fun it could be to take this particular fairy tale fantasy and twist it so nothing was the same, but alas. . . did she have it in her, was she naughty enough. With a sigh, she turned from Aurora Ann leaving her to sleep the required number of years until her Prince Charming would come and win the right to kiss the beautiful creature and wake her up, so they could live happily ever after too.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Hetta pulled out a book of names and thumbed through them. She looked up to Ann, knew she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon and Hetta disappeared only to reappear within the tower of another lovely lass. She quietly watched from a high spot on a shelf, secluded by the books that hid her now shrunken form.

"Rachel, Rachel let down your hair," the voice called up from the ground below.
Rachel felt the force of the command and she moved to the tower window; she peered down. Her soft green eyes rested on the woman below her. She fought the magic that controlled her every movement; in the end, she did as she always did. Her hair was lifted from the floor as well as her shoulders, and it cascaded down the side of the tower. The pull on her scalp was excruciating as Melinda made her way up the long blonde tresses; Rachel withstood it knowing there was no other choice.
Melinda reached the top and hooked her legs over the sill, then climbed inside the tower with Rachel. "Hello my pet, have you missed me?" She pulled the long tresses of Rachel's hair and brought her prisoner's lips to hers. Melinda crushed their mouths together, drank deep the flavor of Rachel's lips and pushed her tongue inside the warm cavern. She licked the sides of Rachel's inner cheeks, and felt the familiar longing in her stomach and sex, "You have missed me my pet."
She released Rachel and squeezed her right breast before leaving the tower room, and making her way down the steps to work on several magic spells and potions. Rachel ran her hand over her mouth, cleansed the taste of Melinda from her lips. She wanted nothing to do with the kiss of her Mistress. She'd been raised by Melinda and she knew no other life thang the one she lived in the tower. She was never allowed outside, so her only view of the world was the one from her window.
Rachel was given access to the library that was on one of the tower levels as well as the kitchen and bathing rooms. She was not allowed to enter Melinda's spell room, and Melinda long ago turned her bedroom into a punishing room, once Rachel turned eighteen. It was then that the tolerable bad dream that was Rachel's life changed into the real confusing nightmare that now consumed her nights.
On her eighteenth birthday Rachel was awakened with the invasion of her sex. The tearing of her virgin barrier was swift and painful as Melinda repeatedly rammed a thick rod in and out of Rachel's body. When Rachel looked into her captor's eyes she knew that Melinda waited for this day, more than any other in her life. In the beginning fear shot through Rachel and every day was a struggle for her not to end her life. Now Melinda slept in Rachel's bed and Rachel was often awoken in various states of arousal. Some days her body and mind would enjoy the ministrations, but other days, days when she wanted out, days when she wanted to feel the earth beneath her feet, Rachel fought with all her mind not to enjoy the touches of her Mistress.
A noise interrupted Rachel's thoughts and she glanced out her window. Her eyes grew huge in her face as she stared down at a figure on horseback that emerged from the forest. A trickle of fear for the man ran through her. Rachel recalled what happened the last time someone ventured close to the tower. She shivered as she ran her eyes over the unmarked grave where the young woman's body now lay.
"Hello there," the voice from the ground called to her.
She blinked rapidly and spun around making sure Melinda was nowhere near. "Go away," she told the man when she realized all was clear.
"But I just got here," he smiled.
Rachel rolled her eyes. "You must leave at once," she hissed down to him.
"I wish to climb up and meet you."
"You can't. Now go!"
"Rachel, Rachel, let down your hair," the man spoke the words he'd heard earlier. He watched in wonder as the beautiful blonde temptress gathered up her hair and sent it cascading down the tower wall. He grinned wide and was soon tossing his legs over the side of the tower window and looking at a green eyed lovely. "A pleasure to meet you," he said. Sweeping a bow he took her hand from her side, placed a wet kiss upon her wrist, and winked at the blushing minx.
"How did you know to say those words?" Rachel asked pulling her hand back from the man's grasp.
"I have been watching this place for several weeks now," the man nodded toward the forest. "I tracked my sister here, but never beyond this point, so I have been waiting for something to happen to bring someone to this window. There is no other point of entry."
Rachel sat down on the stool near the window and the gentleman sat on its sill. "No, no other entry exists or at least I have not found it. I've been here since I was a small child, and I have explored every nook and cranny that exists in this place."
Rachel wondered if the woman who was buried just a few yards from the tower base was the man's sister. She prayed it was not, but she felt deep down it was, and she longed to confess the sins of her Mistress. Nevertheless, she remained quiet.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
She swept a few stray golden locks from her face and bit her bottom lip. "I'm her prisoner. I have been forever, and I am here only to serve her." Rachel felt the shame in her words. Sometimes she wondered if she was innocent in everything that was done to her. She chose to do things sometimes. Refusing the advances in the past led Melinda to use magic, forcing her to do as she wished. She hated having no control over her body so she willingly learned to accept the attentions of her Mistress.
"I will help you leave," he told her, pulling a dagger from his waist. "I'll take you from her."
"She is a powerful witch," Rachel said. She turned toward the door of her room. "Hurry. She is coming," she cried out. The sound of footsteps reached the man's ears as soon as Rachel spoke the words.
"I'll find a way," he grabbed Rachel and kissed her quickly, then climbed down the rope of hair she tossed out the window. The sting in her scalp was nothing to the powerful bite of emotions that his simple kiss caused her.
"Your name Sir?" Rachel whispered down.
