The end of Nancy's Journal. Nancy returns to the Professor's house at Monica's request.
There is a rather graphic moment here, so please take that into account before continuing. Also, if you haven't read the first ten chapters nothing here will make any sense. Thanks to the folks who have stuck with this for better or worse.

1. Knock knock
I managed to smile when the door swung open and I saw Monica, but the smile disappeared when I looked at her face. Her left eye was swollen and purple, and she looked like I felt.
"What happened to your face?" I asked Monica as she let me in after first giving a look around the front of the house.
Monica held her finger up to her lips and motioned me to follow her. We went up to her bedroom, where she closed the door behind us. Back where it all started, I thought to myself as I looked around the room, trying to find the camera location.
"I disconnected it," Monica said as she grabbed me and hugged me, kissing me like there was no tomorrow.
I felt her tears trickle onto my cheek as she kissed me, and I broke away terrified.
"What's wrong?" I pleaded with her, as it looked like she was on the verge of melting down right in front of my eyes.
"I'm so very sorry... sorry!" Monica cried, and broke down in my arms.
I held her in my arms until she managed to gain control of herself, and then sat down with her on the bed.
"Nancy, you have to listen to me and promise to do what I tell you," she said sternly.
"No," I said bluntly. "For one thing, you are really freaking me out, and two, I'm done taking orders around here."
"Good" Monica said. "That's what I want you to do. Leave here and never come back, no matter what."
"Okay, then tell me what's been going on here, and what happened to your eye."
"I'm going to tell you everything Nancy", she said softly. "You are going to hate me after I do, but not as much as I hate myself already.
2. Monica speaks
"First of all, right about now I'm supposed to be talking you into coming over here again tonight," Monica said. "He's fully expecting me to be able to do that."
"He actually thinks that?"
"Yes, if I asked you to, he knows you would," Monica said.
I looked at Monica and realized that the Professor was probably right, the asshole.
"Why does he want me over here tonight so badly?"
"It doesn't matter, you aren't going to come over. Especially when I explain everything to you."
"Well, I'm listening."
"I have to explain everything to you, right from the very beginning," Monica said as she put her moist and trembling hand onto mine. "That includes my part in this whole mess. How we managed to seduce you right from the start."
"Well, I know how that happened," I told her. "It just seems like a whole lot of trouble to go through to blackmail someone into doing all these weird things, just so a kinky old fart can masturbate in the back of the room."
"You think you understand, but I wish that was all there was to it," Monica said. "You weren't the first, and if it's up to Richard you won't be the last. You'll be my last though," Monica sniffed while grabbing more tissues. "I just can't do this anymore, no matter what he ..."
"I'm not the first girl he's done this to?"
"No, there have been several others, like Annie for instance, but you were the easiest to lure into it," Monica said. "He sets out to find the most naive girls he could find. Girls who were loners, or with few friends. Girls with no confidence or self-esteem."
"That's me," I admitted glumly. "Why not find girls that have done all the things you have me do already? I'm probably the last virgin in town, and I'm not close to being good looking."
"You are pretty, Nancy" Monica snapped. "That was part of what made it all so easy. You were a cute girl who looked in the mirror and saw only flaws, while everybody else looks at you much differently. Problem is, you put up this wall between you and the rest of the world, so nobody gets close enough to tell you."
"Okay, so you got me."
"It was Richard's job to entice you into coming over here, and after that it was up to me. I could sense your curiosity, and your loneliness, but that doesn't always add up to someone willing to let it continue. Once we saw the way you looked at me that first night, the rest was easy."
"So you watched the tape of me checking you out, and you left that book of those pictures out where I could see them?" I guessed.
"Right. We expected you to look, but when we saw you doing what you did, well, that allowed him to set you up. When you came that third time and saw yourself on film, and didn't walk out the door, that was it."
"I didn't have much choice, as you might recall" I reminded Monica. "Those copies of your little home movies going out to everyone I knew was a little incentive to cooperate."
"Blank tapes" Monica said. "No way Richard would ever attract attention to this operation of his by doing that. "All he did was use a private detective to find out things about you, and get the names and addresses of relatives and the others."
"So if I walked out that night and never came back, that would have been the end of it?"
"Yes. Most have."
"Most?" I asked. "How the hell many people have you done this to?"
"Who's counting?" Monica said. "Most leave. Sometimes the way it gets set up doesn't make it a tough choice for the girls. Many have been a little more world-wise than you. A couple have stayed like you have, but none of them has ever been as great as you."
"What's so frigging great about me?"
"You're fresh and natural" Monica said. "You just can't find girls to act as innocent as you do. You're totally refreshing, and just what a whole lot of people are looking for these days."
"What, you mean these people that you've had me playing your perverted games with around here every week? All this for them?"
"Do you have any idea who you are?" Monica asked me.
"I'm a homely nineteen year old girl with a ripped up asshole who's been getting blackmailed for months by a perverted professor" I spat out. "How close am I?"
"You're a multi-million dollar cash machine Nancy" Monica said. "You're the fantasy of tens of thousands of men and more than a few women."
"Oh yeah, I'm America's Sweetheart alright!"
Monica took my hand and brought me over to a computer station in the corner of the room, turning on the light and switched on the computer. I stared at the screen until the desktop appeared.
"Google yourself" Monica said. "Google... Yahoo... whatever you prefer."
"Fine" I said and typed in Nancy Porter.
"No" Monica said coldly. "Try again. Type in Molly."
"What?" I asked in confusion, spinning around to face Monica.
"M-O-L-L-Y" Monica said as the tears rolled down her face.
I was shaking as I typed what she asked.

That was the first thing I remember reading, and my eyes went to the first listing, and clicked.
Hi! My name is Molly!
There were other listings, but I clicked on the top one. The computer hesitated for a second, and then the screen exploded with a splash of color. A goofy looking girl, wearing a stupid plaid skirt and a plain blouse, looking petrified. In the background, a blackboard with Molly written in juvenile handwriting.
Hi! My name is Molly!
I'm young and innocent, and I have a lot to learn. The best thing is that YOU can watch me while I get lessons from people like YOU!
On the bottom of the screen, a warning saying you must be an adult to enter.
"Go ahead" Monica said still sobbing.
My hand was shaking so bad I had trouble controlling the mouse. Monica put her hand over mine and clicked the enter button.
There I was again, only now I was naked. Thankfully it was all blurry in the private parts below my neck, but I had no idea what I was doing on this website. I sat shaking my head in a daze, not comprehending any of this. Monica clicked on top of the screen and typed something in a box labeled 'members', which brought up a menu of some kind.
"What is all of this, Monica?" I askedwhile my head continued to spin. "I don't understand."
