"Now..." Trisha said as she strategically positioned herself directly in front of the three girls in such a way that all three turned to look up at her. Realization washed across their faces just in time for Trisha to finish her sentence. "It's my turn!"
Before Eve, Laura, or Rayne could respond to Trisha, the older girl raised her hand in front of them and began to move it before their eyes in smooth, delicate motions. She kept her fingers and hand loose which added a random quality to otherwise straightforward pattern it was moving in, left to right and back again. It gave her fingers the appearance of almost fluttering as they passed before the girls' eyes.
The three young women all had their own unique, yet similar, reactions to the situation at hand. Eve, whose knowledge of hypnosis was limited to the suggestions she had been given, watched Trisha's hand with a confident smile, certain that she could resist whatever Trisha had planned for them. Laura, on the other hand, knew exactly what Trisha was up to and was actually curious as to how she would adapt it to work on three subjects. And Rayne...well, Rayne's heart was skipping a beat as her mind raced to find a way out of the situation that wouldn't cause even more embarrassment for her. But regardless of the differences in each of their responses, they shared one thing in common: all three, for their own unique reasons, were following Trisha's hand as it fluttered back and forth before them.
Trisha knew that she had their attention and let her hand continue to flutter around, slowly and easily, back and forth. Having seen several girls hypnotized already that evening, she knew that all three were already in their own unique suggestible states, and that if anyone was going to try and turn the tables, right now at least, it would be Eve. She continued to swing her hand from side to side as she watched the grad assistant out of the corner of her eye, but kept her gaze focused in Rayne's direction.
The moment Trisha's gaze landed on Rayne, the redheaded freshman let out a soft gasp, despite herself. She was so nervous that she barely registered Eve sitting up to make her move.
But Trisha did notice, and she was prepared. As her hand waved across the girls' eyes, swinging gently to the left as it did, she noticed Eve smile deviously. Trisha kept her gaze on Rayne as she swung her hand away from Eve and towards Rayne. Eve saw her chance and made her move. She quickly sat up to pounce on Trisha...but before she could even stand up, Trisha moved her other hand directly in front of Eve's face and snapped her fingers between the brunette's eyes. "Sleep!" she said to Eve while still looking directly at Rayne.
The snap and Trisha's command to sleep took all three girls by surprise, even though it was only directed at Eve. The overconfident brunette hadn't even seen it coming. At first her entire body jerked in surprise, not only from the sound of the snap, but at having Trisha's hand so close to her face. It lasted just long enough for Trisha's command to slide into her mind. As her body began to go limp, Eve let out a soft sigh and a relaxed, almost playful grin formed on her face. Her eyes crossed and rolled up into her head, her body tilting to the side and landing against Laura with a thud before falling back on the couch and slipping away into a deep, hypnotic sleep.
Laura and Rayne, on the other hand, had clearly been affected by the snap and suggestion as well. But the moment Eve's hypnotized body slammed into Laura's shoulder, both girls jumped in surprise and looked over at the brunette as she fell to the couch, deeply asleep. Having been snapped from her dazed state, Rayne's gaze quickly turned back to Trisha, just in time for Trisha's hand to make its way back around to Rayne's direction. So far around, in fact, that it landed squarely on Rayne's forehead as Trisha pushed her head back and whispered the word "Sleep!" in a commanding yet playful tone. Almost as if she were trying to hold back a laugh as she said it.
Rayne let out what could only be described as a high pitched squeak as Trisha pushed her head back. As the young freshman stared blankly up at the ceiling, her body slowly tilted back until she landed against the back of the couch. Her head slowly fell forward as she did, only stopping when it was finally resting against her chest. Oddly enough her eyes never fully closed, instead they just stared ahead, empty and unseeing as she fell deeper into trance.
Laura remained focused on Eve as she fell against her shoulder, but when she heard Trisha say "sleep" a second time she almost expected it to be aimed at her. When she finally tore her attention away from Eve and back to Trisha, she was fully anticipating it to be the last thing she remembered that evening. Instead, she saw Trisha's attention was focused on Rayne. Her confusion only lasted a few moments, until she felt the impact of Rayne hitting the couch and quickly turned to see the young freshman crumpled up beside her, deeply asleep. Laura couldn't help but let out an amused laugh as she turned back to Trisha. "Wow, you got them both in..."
Trisha stopped Laura's train of thought in its tracks as she tapped the curly haired blonde directly in the center of her forehead and uttered one word. "Sleep!"
Laura's reaction was distinctly different from the others. There were no jerks or twitches from her body, instead it came to a complete stop as she stared at Trisha in surprise. It almost seemed as though her mind was still trying to figure out what had happened. But the longer she sat there, completely unmoving, the less focused her eyes became, and the bigger her pupils got.
Trisha laughed as she moved her hand, the middle finger of which was still firmly on Laura's head, and flattened it out to gently close the hypnotized woman's eyes. Laura's facial expression didn't change at all, nor did her posture, she simply sat there with her body angled as if she were still looking at Trisha through closed eyes. The scene sent a shiver down Trisha's spine as she moved her hand along the young woman's face, down to her shoulder as she softly pushed her back against the couch.
Trisha took a moment to savor the scene before her...as she silently bounced up and down in excitement. To the couch on her left, deeply asleep, was Cheyenne, as was Jackie on the couch to her right. Before her were Eve, Laura, and Rayne, all deeply hypnotized, and standing just off to the left between both couches stood Carly, a completely hypnotized statue. As she reveled in the success of her plan, she glanced down at her watch. "Hmm...I have a few minutes to play before I have to get down to business." she said as she composed herself, a devious grin forming on her face. "Everyone in this room currently in a deep, deep state of trance...listen to my voice. I have a few...suggestions...I'd like to give you..."
About half an hour later...
"Three...feeling your body slowly coming back online. Four...stretching out, opening your eyes, and allowing your mind to clear. Aware of your surroundings again and...Five! Wide awake!" Trisha smiled as she looked down at the couch where the newly appointed officers of the hypnosis based sorority...otherwise known as S.L.E.E.P...were seated. "How do you feel?"
Eve, Laura and Rayne all blinked and looked around. Sitting on the couch to their right were Carly, Cheyenne and Jackie. All three girls were seated on the couch with their feet on the floor and their hands in their lap, staring ahead blankly, still clearly hypnotized. "What just happened?" Rayne thought to herself as she took in the scene around her. "We were celebrating our success and then...Trisha!" As the thought came back to her she looked up at Trisha in shock, realizing...remembering...that Trisha had hypnotized them. At least Rayne assumed she had gotten all three of them. She didn't remember seeing Laura go under, but given that she could see her stretching out of the corner of her eye, it seemed as though she had been equally affected.
Laura, meanwhile, was grinning at Trisha. "That was sneaky...good job!"
