This is my fourth story. It is written assuming the readers have already red all of the prequels, so I advise you to do so if you haven't already. Opinions are very welcome and, as always, all characters are over 18 years of age.
Emily was rather disappointed by how her plan had turned out. Her fraud scheme had been discovered, and thanks to the betrayal of one of her closest associates, she had been apprehended before she was able to flee the country. With the evidence provided against her by the traitor, she had had no chance of avoiding conviction. The only silver lining was that she had managed to enter an alternative rehabilitation program. She knew escaping from an actual penitentiary, even from a low-security one, would be nigh impossible, but she wagered that wherever she would be kept would prove to be an easier challenge. Any attempt at research on what the alternative sentence entailed had proven to be futile, but she had still prepared herself as best she could.
During the trip in the black van, she had tried to count every passing minute in an attempt to estimate where she was being brought but had given up halfway through the trip and had also been unable to estimate her location from what the area surrounding the facility looked like. She had complied with every request made of her and had been quick to realize that the "program" consisted of an attempt to bring the prisoners to a more "malleable" state of mind through forcing them to act out humiliating mannerisms. She highly doubted such a thing could be achieved, at least not with any practical success frequency, but she realized that giving in to their expectations might make an escape more likely, if still not easy.
On the second day of her sentence, she had awoken with her shoulders sore from having them fixed in a spread-out position the whole night. She saw Sophie and Marie get unstrapped from their respective cribs and wheeled off to another room. When her turn came, she allowed the same to be done to herself. She was once again strapped by Isabella in her blue adult-sized stroller and brought once again through the corridor. She started assembling a mental map of the place. The main corridor went in a rectangle around a central area; however, it was not the same corridor she had seen before having her clothes taken away. She hypothesized there was an outer corridor where only the staff was allowed and an inner one where the inmates were kept. It was still technically a correctional facility after all, no matter how unconventional the methods used were.
She was brought to a room with a door already open, and inside she saw Sophie and Mary sitting on a couple of adult-sized highchairs around a rectangular table, their wrists tied to the armrests. Her stroller was unbuckled, and Isabella put her hands under her armpits and pushed upwards, allowing Emily to take a couple of shaky steps into the highchairs without having the plastic spikes under her soles hurt her. She imagined this repeated ritual was meant to instil a sense of dependency from caretakers to their charges. Very well, she thought, she'd give them all the dependency they needed to trust her.
She was not surprised to see the central part of Sophie's (who was sitting right in front of her) pacifier removed and a spoonful of baby formula presented to her. She would have found it odd if such a humiliation was spared to them. She was also unsurprised to see Sophie turning her head to one side to avoid being force-fed the mush and Mary doing much the same. The caretakers started telling them, in a condescending but firm tone, that they would be punished if they didn't eat their breakfast. In that moment, Rebecca was brought into the room and sat on the high chair in much the same way as everybody else, with the singular exception that her booties were also tied to the legs of the chair. However, when one of the caretakers approached her with a jar and a spoon, she slammed her head between the caretaker's eyes, causing them to fall backwards. Isabella, who was walking behind Rebecca in that exact moment, grabbed a syringe from the bag she always carried with her and rapidly but carefully injected it into the back of the girl's neck. Rebecca slumped over the tray of chairs. So much the better, Emily thought. The more recalcitrant her peers were, the more obedient she would look.
When the formula was presented to her, she gulped it down enthusiastically, spoonful after spoonful. She was relieved to notice that it was very obviously not actual baby formula but rather just a mix of ground-up fruit, which she found to be somewhat tasty, if not a little bit too sweet. It was in this moment that she was hit by a pang of pain from her bladder. She knew she would have had to use the diaper at some point and knew that holding it in for long would be met by disapproval from her caretakers, so she decided to let go then and there. In between spoonfuls of mush, she concentrated shortly and told her bladder to let go. It took a while to override her mental barriers against pissing when not sitting on a toilet, but after a few seconds she was squirming in the chair, trying to call attention to her "accident." Isabella was currently concerned with unstrapping unconscious Rebecca from the chair and putting her in her stroller but seemed to take notice of the patterns on Emily's nappy fading. Emily then finished the jar of "formula" and did not resist the reinsertion of the pacifier's nipple into her gag.
Isabella walked up to her and said, "Well, it looks like we have a very well-behaved girl right here. And she even wet herself willingly! Let's get you into a fresh diaper, and, (she lowered her voice), if you keep up this behaviour, there might be a little reward for you at the end of the day." Emily couldn't answer, of course, but she did hope that the mentioned reward would involve her being allowed to see the outside of the facility, so she could get a better idea of how large it was and where it was located. Meanwhile, Sophie and Mary had, one way or the other, been fed the same mush and had already been carted off by the two remaining members of the staff. Emily was now alone in the room with Isabella. She unstrapped her from the highchair and walked up to a wall, whereupon she pressed a button, causing a changing table to slide out of the wall. Emily wondered if there wasn't one concealed in every room. This place was, quite definitely, not sparing expenses to humiliate them. Once again, Isabella placed her hands under Emily's arms and allowed her to awkwardly waddle her way to the changing table. She lay on her back on it, and Isabella snapped her mittens to restraints on her sides. Isabella undid the tape on the diaper and slid it out from under her.
