Take deep breaths.
Inhale.
And then exhale.
That's right. Just like that.
Relax your muscles while you do that.
Starting slowly from your toes, to then your feet, legs and then arriving to your waist.
Your lower body so relaxed that they refuse to move even if you wanted so.
Along with your body, your mind is also releasing all stress and worries.
Again, deep breaths.
Haaah.
Huuuh.
So relaxed. Just follow my voice.
Loosen those muscles.
To your fingertips, to then your shoulders and then arriving to covering your head.
With your entire body now defenseless is also your mind that is now easy to condition.
Foggy and clouded, your mind can only follow the direction of my voice.
*snap*
Now, sink.
The more you listen to my voice the more you sink to the abyss.
Everything fades away other than my voice.
*snap*
Sink under my voice.
Follow my voice.
Nod, little Deva.
Mmm, that's good.
*snap*
There are no longer the worries and stress but only my voice.
There are no longer other people other than me and my voice.
*snap*
My voice rings in your mind as the most pretty and lovely of all.
A bell that you cannot ignore the sound of.
*snap*
My voice wraps around your mind.
*snap*
A helpless butterfly trapped by the intricate webs of the spider.
*snap*
A lovely mouse wrapped by the seductive snake.
*snap*
So pretty. With those blank eyes of yours
Now, let's repeat this a bit few times.
...
Take a deep breaths.
...
*snap*
...
Sink.
...
*snap*
Wake up.
...
A strange sensation. I feel more invigorated as if I actually slept heavily for hours yet at the same time I feel like I just woke up a second after I closed my eyes.
"Oh? Miss Deva, you woke up."
A voice entered my ears and at that I turned my head to the source of it.
"O-oh...Miss Edea...I-I actually..."
"Ahah, you don't have to worry about sleeping during our sessions, in fact it is a sign that it is actually working."
"Really?"
"Yes, since our therapy sessions is to mainly relieve you of your stress and problems. We've been talking about your personal matters, your worries and problems but even talking and venting about those stuff you could just feel some of the weight in your shoulders being lifted and not actually resolve your sources of worries and stress."
"Ah! Now I remember, Miss Edea proposed to use hypnosis as a solution and then I...I actually fell asleep when Miss Edea was still talking. I am really ashamed of that."
"Oh, no no no. If that is what Miss Deva is worried about then you should not and actually sleeping during that time is not something to be negative about. Didn't I tell that it worked? Don't you feel more relaxed and free of the worries that pervades your mind? This is just one of the effects and if we repeat this we might permanently resolve this!"
"Oh...I-I really don't know what to say. I...thank you Miss Edea."
"Oh, dear. You are welcome."
"Y-yes..."
As the two interacted, Edea could see a slight change in how Deva talked and moved around her. Even now her voice is slightly sinking Deva's mind to her control, so the more they talked the more Deva's focus would shift to her and solely to her.
Despite the difference in height where Deva had to lower her head to see Edea's eyes, the two were pleasantly talking with each other and in fact maybe bit more as the two took their time to talk with each other.
"Oh my, it seems that I have to tend for the next one. I apologize Miss Deva but I really have to go."
"O-oh...Then I wait for our next session next week." There was a trace of reclutance but nonetheless Deva managed to hold Edea more than she should.
"W-wait!" Deva hurriedly grabbed Edea's shoulder.
"Mmm?"
"A-ah...If it isn't a problem, may we call each other without honorifics?"
Since Deva couldn't lower her gaze she instead averted her eyes to the left understanding that is was too abrupt.
"Oh! I love to! Just call me Edea from now on and I'll call you Deva! Well then, see you next week!"
As the door closed, Deva stood there stunned as her name being said by Edea was being repeated in her mind. A subtle wave of happiness swept by in her subconscious prompting Deva to crave to talk more with Edea.
As weeks and months passed the two met with each other more and more outside of their sessions. Deva felt more relaxed and less worried everytime she was with Edea, nothing more than developing something for Edea is what Deva thought to herself.
In no time people will notice that the two aren't just two friends hanging out but two lovers and they weren't wrong but the relationship was a bit different to a normal one.
Deva 'willingly' gave control to Edea, it was not to the point where Edea chose what clothes Deva had to wear or anything like that but it was Edea who decided for the two. Deva would always happily oblige to every of Edea's request not because Edea never asked to do anything extreme but because Deva felt happiness and joy in following and completing her requests.
Yet, despite this, Edea would occasionally reinforce her control over Deva with sessions of hypnosis once every week making any attempt to revert Deva to normal almost impossible without Edea's consent.
It was because they were subtle and small changes that no one close to Deva noticed her changes in behavior and sudden interest towards Edea, in fact there was one thing that Edea changed and that was the immense curiosity and interest towards people, yes people, in how they behaved in certain occasions, what they would feel in certain occassions, their different views and other aspects of what makes a person into love and devotion towards her.
There was a time where Edea suspected that Deva deliberately threw herself at her to be hypnotized but after several question she received negative answers but that was if Deva was unaware of Edea's interest towards Deva but either way it would result in Deva becoming hers so Edea wasn't that perplexed.
