Good morning Karina part 2

"-Good morning Karina. I see from your screams that you woke up from the chloroform a while ago. Excuse my delay in coming down, as I was having breakfast and I couldn't hear you from the dining room... Oh, I suppose you must be hungry too. What can I offer you?

That had caught Karina quite off guard. Of course, she was glad and reassured that the person who had come down the basement stairs wasn't a psychopath with a hockey mask, but what had just happened seemed so surreal to her that she could only manage to say one word:

- What?

- I said that you can hardly be heard from upstairs, these walls are very thick, so I'm sorry if I made you wait. I didn't know how long the chloroform would last... I suppose you're hungry, would you like something for breakfast?

- I... um... Ma'am, why did you do this to me and what are you going to do to me? -Karina managed to ask, still scared, but much less so than a few minutes ago.-

- Actually, I'm a doctor... And since you invited yourself into my house, don't you think you owe me some answers, Karina?

- How do you know my name?

- More questions... Your driver's license. I like to know the names of my new toys before I start playing with them, and now it's my turn to ask...

- What did you mean by "toys"? -Karina asked again, quite uneasy once more.-

The strange grandma frowned in disapproval and approached the box with determined steps. Karina prepared for the worst, but all she could do was protest and try to struggle unsuccessfully, almost completely immobilized as she was. The woman grabbed Karina's right foot by the toes, and after forcing her to bend them backwards, she began tickling her with her long nails.

-NO NO NOAHAHAHAHAHA STOP! STOHOHOHOP!

-Listen, Karina. -The woman said with a calm voice, not losing concentration on what she was doing- Given the circumstances of how you ended up in this situation, I'd like to ask you a few questions, to which I'd like you to respond immediately. Do you understand?

-YES! YEEES! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

-Good, once I have my answers, and not before, if you wish, you can get yours. Do you understand?

-YES! UNDERSTOOD! PLEASE STOP AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

-I want to make it clear right now that, contrary to what may seem, I'm not crazy, and I don't intend to keep you here indefinitely against your will, or hurt you... Once I have my answers, if you ask me, I promise you'll be released, on terms that, I assure you, will be more than reasonable. -By now, the tickling had subsided enough to be more of a persistent annoyance than the strong reprimand it started as- Do you understand?

-YES YES YES! Understood!

-Good. -The Doctor said, stopping tickling Karina and leaning on the box just behind her, where she could feel her presence, but couldn't see her, something she didn't like at all.- Now, I want you to tell me what you intended to do last night by sneaking into my house.

Karina told her everything, from how she had picked the house to rob, to the plan she had devised to enter and be able to do it without being seen, or what she planned to do with the stolen items. As Karina gave out details, the old woman was able to extract new information based on that, such as the fact that she had already robbed two other houses, as there were certain nuances in her story that seemed to indicate such, which was confirmed after another round of tickling, this time on her left foot. When the interrogation was over, Karina asked her captor to fulfill her promise and release her.

-Oh, wow, then you don't feel like staying to play?

-Doctor... You said that if I answered your questions, you would let me go.

-Of course. -The woman said as she seemed to step away from the box and manipulate something at the back of the basement- If that's your wish, I'll go upstairs right away and call the police to take you awa...

-NOOOO...! YOU SAID YOU WOULD LET ME GO!

-Yes, in very reasonable terms... –At that moment the woman walked past Karina, carrying what looked like a tripod with a camera, and carefully placing it in front of her, with the camera recording-

-What? ARE YOU RECORDING EVERYTHING? Why?

-Well, dear, if someone breaks into my home in the middle of the night to rob me, and then that person admits that crime, and two others... It's very reasonable that I leave that person, just like I told you I would, but in the hands of the authorities. Or am I wrong? -Karina remained silent. As much as she disliked it, the woman was actually right- Alright, I have a broken front door, with pry marks, which I have in my possession, in which your fingerprints are present, and your confession recorded on video, along with the confession of two other crimes... I'm not an expert in the law, but I'd say that constitutes a lot of evidence for you to spend several years in jail if that's what you want...

-How could I want to go to jail? -Karina managed to reply, on the verge of tears-

-Yes, with that cute face, the rest of the inmates will be fighting over you... But if you prefer, you could stay with me for a few hours, playing a series of... games, that I have planned, which for me would compensate for the material damages you have caused, and the scare you gave me tonight, and in this way, everything that happened will be our little secret, of which the police would not have to find out. You decide.

-I... - The choice for Karina was to spend a few hours in the hands of that woman, or a few years in the hands of the penal system, and at that moment she was doubting which possibility was more horrible, but at least, she believed, one of the two choices implied the possibility of ending that day sleeping in her own bed, and the other implied not doing so for a very, very long time- ... And if I stay, how long would it be and what would I have to do?

-Hmmmm... I think eight hours, a workday, would be an adequate number of hours... Regarding your task, you simply have to stay still there, while I tickle you...

-WHAT?! But, how do you expect me to endure eight hours of tickling?

-I didn't say they had to be continuous, you can ask me for a break whenever you want, and we'll take as much time as we need to complete the eight hours. However, if you prefer, at any time you can back out, I'll call the police to take you out of there, and they'll swap the box for some handcuffs... Noticeably more comfortable for traveling to places like the police station, courts or jail.

-Okay! Okay, deal, Doctor!

-Mistress.

-What?

-If you agree to become my toy, I prefer you to refer to me as Mistress. -Karina started to blush- So... Deal?

-Deal... Mistress.

-Great! How exciting! It's been a while since I had a new toy, you'll see how much fun we're going to have... Especially me... But before that, I suppose you'd like to have breakfast, right?"
