Cherished Memories
Farleven
Chapter 2
Sylvia took a moment to enjoy the view from the entrance of the resort. The resort was nestled on the side of a mountain, overlooking a picturesque view of a tree-lined valley that descended into a mist. The scene stirred her memories of her last trip with her friends so long ago. She stood there for countless minutes taking in the warm feelings stirred inside her before pulling herself together and entering the resort.
“Welcome to the Pinnacle Resort, you’re Sylvia, correct?” Asked the clerk as Sylvia strolled in the front door.
“Yes, how did you know?” Slightly stunned that the staff would know her on sight.
“Ms. Verner gave us special instructions to give you our best care. I hope you’re ready to enjoy yourself.” The clerk answered cheerfully, taking Sylvia’s bags.
“I just want to forget about work for a few days and relax.” Sylvia commented.
“Don’t worry, we’re a first class resort and we live to serve. You can be sure your every need will be met while you’re here. If ever you need something, don’t hesitate to call my desk. Also, everything is covered so don’t worry about the bill, Ms. Verner has extended you a full line of credit for your enjoyment. Please follow me and I’ll show you to your room.” Sylvia was stunned at the sheer helpfulness of the staff and Julie’s generosity. Sylvia had never been one to take advantage of others, but she didn’t want to refuse her boss’ gifts. She was quickly coming to anticipate having a good rest here.
The resort was fairly standard fair with pools, spas, and leisure rooms in addition to the staff who were skilled in nearly every art of pampering known to man. By the end of her first day Sylvia was in heaven, scarcely believing just how wonderful it felt to be waited on hand and foot. All the tension of the past several years seemed to slip away under the careful handling of a masseuse. Sylvia didn’t even want to move for hours afterward, she was so relaxed. After that, a fine meal and a long bath awaited her until finally she went to bed, luxuriating in the silk sheets and cloud like mattress.
In the middle of the night, Sylvia was roused by noises in her room. She shot up and found herself being grabbed by both arms. Before she had a chance to cry out she felt the shock of an injection in her right arm and drifted back into unconsciousness.
Sylvia slowly awoke again some time later. She quickly realized that she was strapped to some kind of chair, and that her head seemed encased in some kind of helmet. Sylvia struggled for a moment, though her efforts resulted in little more than a few ruffled sounds and puffs of breath from the effort.
“Hello, Sylvia, I’m glad you finally decided to wake up. I do so hate it when I’m kept waiting.” Replied a gruff voice from beside Sylvia. She tried to turn her head, but found that it too was strapped tightly in place.
“I’m sorry, but we must get started, you’ve delayed me enough already. We’ll have plenty of time for introductions later.” The voice said in response to her movement.
“What are you doing to me?” Sylvia whimpered. She fought down the urge to panic, but it was hard given the circumstances.
“As I said, we’ll have time for that later, besides you’ll understand fully in a few hours better than I can explain now. Please, relax, this can be rather painful if you fight it.” The voice answered.
Sylvia was little relieved by the response, though a strange tingling filled her head before she could form another frightened question. The tingling gave way to another set of stronger shocks coursing through her skull. In another moment, the pain seemed to magnify and Sylvia lost her ability to think straight. Simply, she screamed, locked in the strange horror that was consuming her thoughts as sparks seemed to be jumping inside her head.
The fireworks exploding within her head finally abated an unknown amount of time later. Sylvia simply panted with relief, her throat dry and raspy from her cries. She wondered just what was being done to her, when a strangely handsome man walked up in front of her and began to undo her restraints.
“Hello, Sylvia, how are you feeling?” He asked while he unbuckled the straps that had held her head down.
“What did you do to me?” Sylvia asked as she rubbed her wrists and pulled out of the chair and away from man.
“Simply what you came here for, Sylvia. My name is Jacob by the way.” He answered.
“What are you talking about?” Sylvia asked. She couldn’t imagine that she had somehow requested that she be abducted during the night and partially electrocuted.
“Don’t you remember why you came here?” Jacob asked with a strangely knowing look on her face.
Sylvia answered before she’d even had a chance to consider the question. “Of course, I came here to be turned into a sex toy for my coworkers.”
Sylvia clasped her mouth in shock. She couldn’t believe she’d just said that. “No, that’s not right!”
“Come on, think back to when you checked in here, Sylvia.” Jacob replied to her stunned response.
Sylvia turned inward for a moment to examine her memories. She couldn’t believe her own words, but her mind was betraying her as well. Sylvia remembered checking in and requesting to be turned into a first class office slut slave.
“Why did I do that? I don’t want to become some office whore!” Sylvia balked, afraid more than she could remember. How could she have ever made such a request? She didn’t know what could have possessed her, but she couldn’t deny her own memory.
“I don’t know, Sylvia, I’m just here to help you along, would you like to go back to your room and rest?” Jacob asked politely, opening the door to the room.
“Yeah,” Sylvia sputtered, feeling fatigued suddenly. She didn’t even take notice of anything else around her until she was falling onto her bed. Sylvia barely even had a stray thought before plunging into a fitful sleep.
The next day she found herself accepting a breakfast date with Jacob. She didn’t know what was going on but he was certainly involved. Sylvia didn’t seem to be able to bring herself to leave so at the very least, she wanted to know what was happening. Having a talk with Jacob had the be the fastest way to get to the bottom of things.
“Good morning, Sylvia, how are you doing?” Jacob welcomed as she pulled up a chair beside him. She was dressed in a loose blouse and slacks, and her hair was pulled back in a ponytail. Sylvia hadn’t felt like putting much effort into her appearance this morning, even though she still noticed she was turning heads.
“Okay for a person who seems to have gone crazy.” Sylvia replied. It was the only answer she could come up with for her strange request of the resort staff. It was completely beyond her comprehension that she would do such a thing. Sylvia also was concerned that she couldn’t bring herself to leave, especially given what she was apparently staying for.
“You’re not crazy, just seeing the world differently, it’s part of your treatment.” Jacob commented as he slowly ate his breakfast.
“What treatments? Have you people made me this way?” Sylvia yelled. She certainly didn’t like that idea one bit. She remembered the chair now and the pain in her head. Sylvia realized what that meant an instant later.
“In a sense, but that’s our job. Besides, you understand that you can’t leave the program until your treatments are finished. So, I may as well answer your questions honestly.” Jacob answered calmly, sipping at a glass of orange juice.
“What are you people doing to me?” Sylvia sobbed. Jacob’s detached demeanor was just adding fuel to her inner torment.
“We are helping you to become a perfect office sex slave. In time you won’t even mind. I’ll explain more as your treatments progress. Now it’s time for another treatment.” Jacob said. His plate was empty and he shoved it aside and stood up.
Sylvia blinked and then stood up and walked after him as he headed out of the dining room. Sylvia tried to stop her feet, but she couldn’t help herself, and she soon realized that they were heading back towards the same room she’d been in yesterday. “Why am I following you?”
“One of the first things instilled in you is a compulsion to complete your treatments. That’s why you didn’t pack up and leave even though you wanted to this morning. Until the regimen is complete, you will willingly follow me or another handler to the treatment room.” Jacob explained as they entered the room.
Sylvia quickly sat down in the chair and placed her hands and feet so they could be strapped down again. Jacob strapped her down a moment later and lowered the helmet device back over her head. She didn’t really want to do it, and yet she couldn’t find any willpower to do anything else.
“What does this thing do to me?” Sylvia asked, as her head was strapped in. Her voice was calm despite the raging storm inside her mind. She shouldn’t be helping him like this, and yet she couldn’t make herself move to resist either.
“Simply put, it changes your reality, Sylvia. You’ll understand after a few more treatments.” Jacob replied. He pressed the activator a moment later and cringed as Sylvia let out another blood curdling scream.
