Pledging the Sorority - N.C.U. - Part 1 Alternate Endings

Trisha laughed. “Isn’t she cute!” she said, motioning for the girls to take a seat. “So Laura…how has our first pledge been doing? Has she been able to pick up the basics of being a hypnotist as well as being hypnotized?”

Rayne pushed past Laura before she could answer and looked at Trisha with a smile. “Why don’t I show you…” she said as she moved in front of Carly and dangled a crystal pendant in front of the girl’s eyes. 

“What are you…I’m not really into being hypno - ” Carly protested before being cut off by Rayne. 

“Shhh… “ the redhead said with a smile. “I’m not going to hypnotize you, silly. I just need to demonstrate how well my pendant works. How easily it can dangle in front of your eyes. How gently the light can simply catch the focus…of a lovely young girl who wants to be hypnotized now.  It’s a great little prop. So shiny and sparkly. You can see that now, can’t you Carly?”

The confused sophomore’s eyes darted between Rayne, the pendant, and Trisha. “It..it is quite lovely. I can see …” she started before Rayne cut her off again.

“The sparkles deep inside the crystal. See how easy it is to get drawn into the rainbow of colors…flashing in the sunlight. But do you know what makes this look…even more fascinating, Carly?” Rayne didn’t really wait for, or care about, an answer. “It’s how easily the light can change. How the slightest bit of motion…” Rayne started to swing the pendant…very slowly…very gently. “Allows the colors to just…come to life. To take on an energy all their own. Swinging slowly and easily and sparkling with every motion. So easy to just follow the pendant with your eyes Carly…so easy to follow it…” 

Despite her protests, the young brunette’s eyes were fixated on the pendant that was slowly moving, back and forth, in front of her eyes. Her hand had slipped from the armrest and fallen into her lap with a thud. The motion seemed to startle Carly, but Rayne was there to take advantage of it. “That’s it,” she said as Carly tried to recover from the startle, “sinking more and more easily into the pendant…deeper and deeper. Finding your gaze drifting down…deeper and deeper…sinking…faster and faster.” 

Carly was losing her fight to stay awake. With every swing of the pendant her eyes would droop just a bit more. Soon her head was nodding down as well.  After every swing she would nod just a bit, then recover, then nod, then recover. But each swing took her longer to recover from. And every nod took her deeper, and deeper. Until finally her eyes blinked closed…and never reopened. Her head bobbed up as if she wanted to resist…but then it sank back down. Lower, then lower again…until she slumped to the side, mouth open as her arms lay limp in her lap. Completely unaware of how easily she’d been hypnotized. 

Rayne turned to Trisha. “So, you tell me, do you think I’m getting the hang of the whole hypnotist thing?” 

Trisha just smiled.

Trisha laughed. “Isn’t she cute!” she said, motioning for the girls to take a seat. “So Laura…how has our first pledge been doing? Has she been able to pick up the basics of being a hypnotist as well as being hypnotized?”

Laura smiled deviously at Rayne. “Would you be so kind as to get me a glass of water, please?” she asked, before looking back at Trisha. “Well as you’ve seen, she’s an excellent subject. I’ve used hypnotizing her from time to time as way of teaching her.” 

Rayne shot Laura a glare as she moved past the chair Trisha was sitting in and over to the kitchenette area of the dorm room. Once she was out of Trisha’s view she came to a stop and slowly turned around, winking at Carly as she started to move closer and closer to Trisha. 

“As for being a hypnotist, she’s done really well. She’s managed to pick up a lot of different inductions. And she’s demonstrated them on several of our friends, including Cheyenne, Jackie, and myself.” Laura beamed proudly as she tried not to look at her student, who was slowly creeping up behind Trisha.

“Excellent!” Trisha said with a devious grin on her face. “And what would you say is her strongest area of hypnotism at this point?” 

Laura just smiled. Before Trisha could ask why, Rayne placed her hand on Trisha’s head and pulled it back quickly, but not quick enough to hurt her. At the same time, she said in a commanding, yet tiny voice, “Sleep!” 

Trisha’s entire body shook with surprise, and then all at once went limp in her chair. Her head laid limply against the back of it as Rayne let go of her head. She didn’t so much as flinch once she was out. The only sound she made was a moan that sounded more like a sexual release than a sigh. 

Laura couldn’t help but chuckle as she finally answered Trisha’s question. “Instant inductions seem to be her strong suit…”
