==== Chapter Six: To be a Monster ====
== The Cave ==
The next morning, Lisa and Johanna wake up together. Lisa is glowing with happiness. The two of them lie in bed, holding hands, and savor the warm sunlight that streams through the window, casting a gentle glow over Johanna's bed.
Lisa breaks the peaceful silence. "I've always been afraid. My whole life. I was scared of the other children, terrified of intimacy, afraid that my fiancé would leave me, and anxious about so many other things."
She pauses for a moment, her voice trembling slightly. "I was constantly living in fear that someone would harm me if I didn't do what they wanted."
A single tear escapes, sliding down her cheek. "But now, the fear is gone. Now, I feel free. I survived, and everything is okay."
Johanna gently kisses her on the forehead. "What will you do now?"
Lisa remains silent for a while, lost in thought. Finally, she responds, "I think I'll try to win my fiancé back."
"That sounds lovely. Let me know if you need any help--I'm here for you," Johanna offers warmly.
"Thank you," Lisa replies, her voice soft with gratitude. "But first, I need to recover. And I want you to know that I'll always be devoted to you. If you ever need anything, I'm at your service."
Johanna waves her hand dismissively. "You don't have to do that anymore."
"But I want to," Lisa insists. "You don't have to take me up on it, but the offer stands."
Johanna points to Lisa's feet. "Do they still hurt?"
"Oh, just a little. I just can't walk," Lisa says, chuckling.
Michael then enters the room, wrapping his arms around both women in a comforting embrace. Lisa struggles to stand, her body still weak. Michael gently examines her hands, feet, and the other visible injuries, his expression soft and free of any judgment or anger.
"Come on, let's get a doctor to take a look at your wounds," he says, his voice calm and reassuring.
With tender care, he lifts Lisa into his arms and carries her out of the room.
Later, Michael returns to Johanna. His face is filled with pride as he says, "I knew you would succeed with Lisa. I'm so proud of you."
Johanna exhales in relief. "I'm glad it brought her some peace. There were moments when I really worried that I might accidentally kill her. But now, I think I can trust myself a little more. Do you think I went too far? The session with Lisa was pretty brutal."
Michael shakes his head and gently kisses her on the forehead.
After a brief pause, he continues, "I believe you're ready now."
"Ready for what?"
"It's time for you to get to know yourself."
"What do you mean by that?"
But Michael doesn't elaborate. He simply says, "Come with me."
He leads her to the basement of the villa.
"Are we going back to the Roman Bath?" Johanna asks, her curiosity piqued.
"So many questions. No, not this time. There's a place even deeper. The bath was built over a natural cave, beneath the villa."
Johanna's eyes light up mischievously. "Oh my God, do you have your own Batcave? How cool is that? Are we going to take the Batmobile for a spin?"
She tugs playfully at his arm. "Please, please, let's drive the Batmobile!"
Michael grins.
They pass the entrance to the ancient bath. Michael instructs Johanna to leave her clothes there. Once she has undressed, he takes an old lantern from a small cupboard, lights it, and hands it to her. Then, he unlocks a heavy fireproof door.
"From here on, you have to venture into the
Batcave
alone. This is something you must face by yourself."
He nudges Johanna towards the door, but she hesitates, pushing back.
"Wait, hold on! What's waiting for me in there? What am I supposed to do?"
"That's the point--to discover what you will do. Now go!"
He gently pushes Johanna through the door and closes it behind her, locking her in. Great, Johanna thinks, this isn't creepy at all. I should definitely save my progress here. You could slip and die just on these stairs. And who knows what kind of chthonic creatures are waiting for me down there, and I didn't even bring any chocolate bars to appease them.
She begins to descend the staircase. It leads into a natural cave, partially enhanced and straightened with stone walls. The steps are partly carved from the rock itself, partly made from large stone blocks. The construction style is unlike anything she's ever seen--the massive stone blocks fit together perfectly, with razor-thin seams and no mortar. Carefully, she continues down the slightly damp steps.
The staircase takes her deep underground, much deeper than she would have thought possible. The air is filled with the scent of moss. When she finally reaches the bottom, the lantern reveals a vast stalactite cave. Beside the base of the stairs is an underground lake. The lantern's light isn't strong enough to reveal the bottom, leaving the water in an inky darkness.
Most of the cave remains in its natural state, but a section near the stairs has been artificially constructed. The floor is flat and made from the same massive stone blocks. Above it is a dome supported by columns. It probably once displayed a relief or mosaic, but only a few fragments remain. In the center of the floor is a large, carved basalt block, its base leads into the ground. The sides are covered in reliefs depicting non-human creatures in various acts of copulation.
Johanna sets down the lantern. Its light isn't very strong, and the cave around her fades into darkness. She sits on the basalt block, looking around. Surprisingly, the block is pleasantly warm. What exactly is she supposed to do here? The place is impressive, but why exactly is she here?
Suddenly, Johanna notices a shadow moving. She hears footsteps. Breathing. Someone or something is here with her. She knows she should be afraid, but the fear doesn't come. Odd. Well, then.
She lies back on the large basalt block. The stone feels pleasantly warm, its hardness somehow comforting, almost invitingly comfortable. She reflects on the past weeks, her hands wandering to her breasts, caressing them. Her hand then slides down to her slit, slowly massaging the moisture there.
She senses something climbing onto the block, at first intangible like a wisp of smoke wafting over her. She continues to rub her slit, moaning softly. For a moment, her eyes are closed. She knows someone is kneeling between her legs, leaning over her. She hears a voice, a familiar female voice, "I see you've started without me. That's not very polite. Are we being a naughty girl?"
She opens her eyes to see herself. Another Johanna. They lock eyes, both with radiant green eyes. Or is this Johanna, and she herself is something else?
This other Johanna has small, twisted horns on her head. Cute. And pointed ears. Also cute. Her eyes have vertical pupils, like a cat's.
The other Johanna crawls over her, lithe like a lover, their breasts touching, sending a gentle electric shock between them, an indescribable sensation. She grins, and Johanna is startled. A predator's smile, with long canines and sharp teeth.
She presses her predatory mouth onto Johanna's and kisses her. Johanna can't help but kiss back. The feeling is incredible, sweet and soft, she melts into this kiss, could continue for an eternity. Johanna's hands gently run through Johanna's hair, scratching her scalp affectionately. Their breasts rub softly against each other. She whispers, „You are so beautiful."
Johanna kisses her breasts, her tongue playing with the nipples, eliciting a moan of pleasure from her lips.
"Yes, ah, keep going."
Johanna breathes into her ear, kisses her neck. Then she opens her predatory mouth wide, her long tongue licking over her lips. She presses her sharp canines against Johanna's neck, teasing with the threat of a bite. Johanna moans louder. She kisses her breasts again, her tongue trailing down her stomach. Then, with deliberate slowness, she sinks her long, pointed teeth into her neck. The pain is minimal, yet exquisitely pleasurable.
Her body arches, pushing into an almost unnatural arch. She's on the brink of climax from the sensation alone. She feels the blood slowly trickling out. For a moment, she wants to surrender to the sweet, delicious pain, to lose herself completely in this bloody bite. But then she grabs Johanna by the horns and flips her onto her back, straddling her. Johanna licks her blood-stained lips.
"Enjoy this moment with me," she says.
Her hand reaches for Johanna's pussy, fingers delving into the dripping wet slit. They start to pleasure each other, hands working in tandem, rubbing each other's clits gently. They kiss again, the taste of blood mingling with their passion.
One slides fingers into the other's love canal, reciprocated in kind. They gaze into each other's eyes, admiring the beautiful face, those radiant green eyes, that perfect body, as they finger each other, lost in mutual ecstasy.
Johanna withdraws her fingers from the slit, crawling down her body. She licks every inch of her skin. The pointed teeth flash a grin at her, then she begins to lap at her pussy. Johanna arches her back into a bow. She feels an orgasm approaching.
"Let it happen. You will enjoy it, surrender to it."
She opens her predatory mouth once more, lowering her sharp teeth into Johanna's vulva. An overwhelming wave of pleasure courses through her. Johanna is on the verge of giving in, but once again, she gathers her resolve.
She throws the other Johanna onto her back again, positioning herself between her legs, propping up her upper body, and staring intensely into her eyes, "I will show you who's in charge here.
