Hypnobuse

Broken Spell

Hello Miss Walters....what can I do for you?"

"Im calling because I sent you a text"

"Yes Im sorry.......Ive not had chance to read it yet....can you tell me now"

"Sure.......the homework I set you regarding the book"

"Yes....King Arthur"

"Have you begun to read it........have you got up to 'Excalibur'?"

I paused.....why was that word so familiar.....I am sure it had some meaning but I couldn't for the life of me think what it was.

"Yes miss I have read the book.......Ive not read that chapter yet"

"oh ok.....we need to meet for another tuition...maybe later today?"

"Sounds like a good idea........can I text you later to confirm?"

"Of course you can Rose"

"Thanks Miss Walters.......If the truth be told its been a hectic day....something unusual happened today"

"What was that then Rose?"

"Louise is back in town.....she came to see me"

"Ok.....Isnt that likely to complicate things?"

"I don't know....I hope not"

"Ok thanks Rose.....I will await your text"

I turned to Geraldine.

"The Fucking spell has been broken....I used the code word on her and it didn't work......apparently Louise has been to see Rose and if they have interacted at all then its all been for nothing"

"So what now?"

"We got to stage three of the plan?"

"Stage three.....whats that then?"

"I wanted Rose to become a willing participant and come to me....then she would be mine......the next time the three of us together then I will have to take her by force"

"Does this mean more of the drug is needed?"

"I have plenty but a full dosage will have to be administered?"

"But that could kill her"

"Yes it could, but I am not losing the opportunity to be with her....I crave her body, mind and soul...The three of us can be so good together".

I shook away the feeling that I had with Louise and waited for Ailsa to arrive....to be honest I was still a little bit wary of her and only hoped that she was not planning to make a scene.....just as I reached the end of my thought there was a sharp rap on the door and I went across to open it.

"Hello Ailsa.....do come in"

I led her over to the couch.

"Care for a drink?"

"No Im fine"

"Ok....you have something to tell me.....I apologise for appearing a bit defensive but I wouldnt normally agree to let you in what with everything that has gone on.....however, Im thinking this is important"

"It is.......what your going to hear might sound strange but its quite genuine....and it also has the backing of the police"

"Ok Ailsa...talk"

"Firstly it was established by the police that there was a thread from a pair of gloves found in your scratches...they came from cotton gloves.....Denise Walters wears gloves because she has a compulsive hygiene allergy but when questioned she said that only nylon gloves are what she wears, cotton irritates her skin"

"Ailsa can we cut to the chase"

"Denise lied about the gloves and a warrant to search her premises was made but her house had been cleaned out....she disappeared"

"Well I just spoke to her on the phone"

"That might work to our advantage but I will tell you the other thing first"

"Ok go ahead...I promise not to interrupt anymore"

"I went to see a friend who is a hypnotherapist about your scratches...because you don't know how they got there....its possible that someone controlled you through a form of hypnosis...my friend can hypnotise you and find out how this was all done"

"And the police are ok with this?"

"Yes they are"

"Well it would be nice to know where they came from....ok lets do it...but when?"

"I need to speak to the polytechnic and find out when the lab would be free"

"Polytechnic.....you cant let Margaret know about this"

"I know Rose......this will be done behind closed doors"
