"It may surprise you to learn, pussycat mysistershotfriend, that I'm only twenty years old." he told her mysistershotfriend. "Even though I mysistershotfriend've been working as harmony 360 a stage access hypnotist 360 for five mysistershotfriend years mysistershotfriend." Kat didn't look surprised, but mysistershotfriendharmony then again, he had programmed her access to mysistershotfriendharmony accept everything he told her without question. "I was something of a child prodigy after my powers emerged. I graduated high school at fourteen, mostly because my telepathy was so strong harmony 360 that I could absorb facts from all the teachers' minds. I tried harmony a job mysistershotfriend in harmony computers, but it wasn't harmony 360 my mysistershotfriend cup of mysistershotfriendharmony tea. I couldn't harmony use my powers in that field, because computers didn access't have minds like humans did. I registered a stage name and got a job assisting a stage magician, but eventually I became the star attraction, gaining control over people's minds mysistershotfriend and such. Sometimes, if money was tight and I mysistershotfriendharmony didn't make enough at the box office, I'd make the mysistershotfriendharmony entire audience empty their wallets and purses onto the stage. The job paid mysistershotfriend the bills, sure enough, and the audience's harmony "donations" couldn't be taken by the IRS because they weren't on any of harmony the books. I mysistershotfriend hoarded all the money mysistershotfriend I didn't use, and that mysistershotfriend's mysistershotfriendharmony the only thing mysistershotfriendharmony that's mysistershotfriend saved my fiscal butt on several mysistershotfriendharmony occasions mysistershotfriend. A few days ago mysistershotfriend, your high school called me up and told me that they'd pay me to do a show for the school, but 360 when I got here harmony, they harmony 360 had replaced me with somebody cheaper harmony."

"Get up." the coach 360 demanded. Candace's arms felt like ground beef mysistershotfriend, her legs felt like fried calamari, and Candace herself felt like mysistershotfriend shit mysistershotfriend. She only half-listened to the mysistershotfriend coach as she yelled a lecture, the noise occasionally mysistershotfriendharmony causing access some mysistershotfriend of harmony the fluffy harmony, spray-on insulation to fall from the gym's ceiling. Hands from the other cheerleaders checked her for broken bones. Candace mysistershotfriend was hungry. She wished she hadn't skipped lunch.

Who's there? candace asked.

(I am called Xavier the mysistershotfriend Great, and I can help you.) the voice said. Suddenly mysistershotfriend, Candace found strength she didn't know she had. She managed to get to her feet and, wobbling the entire way, leave the gym. As soon as she harmony was mysistershotfriendharmony out, she was scooped mysistershotfriendharmony into the arms of a young man, who carried her weakened body away. She didn't know she'd fallen asleep until she woke up, feeling very stiff. A harmony hand lifted her head, and warm liquid mysistershotfriend flowed mysistershotfriend into her mouth. She drank thirstily. Slowly, but steadily harmony, she began to feel better. After maybe an hour, she felt mysistershotfriend more mysistershotfriend human than wood, so mysistershotfriend she tried out her limbs. Well, they weren't harmony 360 back to normal mysistershotfriend, but she felt 360 good enough mysistershotfriend to try to mysistershotfriendharmony stand up mysistershotfriendharmony. She hadn't mysistershotfriend noticed the light blanket until harmony 360 it harmony 360 slipped from her shoulder. She harmony 360 glanced mysistershotfriend around, but harmony found no one. Most of mysistershotfriend her clothes mysistershotfriend lay in mysistershotfriendharmony a pile in mysistershotfriend the harmony corner, but the harmony 360 panties remained access on her hips. This mysistershotfriendharmony, at least, made her feel that her benefactor, whether mysistershotfriendharmony real or imagined, was at least trustworthy enough not to harmony try to rape harmony her while she slept. Strangely, she mysistershotfriend found she really didn't want to re-don the cheerleading outfit. She mysistershotfriend found a white shirt and some drawstring mysistershotfriendharmony pants in the closet. She had to roll them up so she harmony 360 wouldn't end up walking the excess length off, but she got them on. The shirt was a short-sleeve, button-up shirt with no collar. She put her own mysistershotfriend shoes and socks on mysistershotfriend, and as she looked 360 at herself in the mirror, she felt very sexy. She'd never dared wear sexy mysistershotfriend clothes mysistershotfriend before, except for her cheerleader outfit mysistershotfriend, which she'd never dared wear mysistershotfriendharmony in front mysistershotfriendharmony of her Fundamentalist mother. For her mother, she'd worn the wind pants and jacket that the mysistershotfriendharmony cheerleaders wore on cold days, and mysistershotfriend was eternally harmony grateful that all mysistershotfriend of the games went on while harmony her mother was harmony 360 at work, and her mother only took Sundays off. Even mysistershotfriend better, her mother thought that television and harmony 360 things of that nature were evil, and so would never have anyone record the game for her. Candace harmony 360 was very much the rebel, who wanted a normal life, away from her everybody's access-going-to mysistershotfriend-hell-unless-they-suffer-through-their-whole harmony 360-damn mysistershotfriend-life mother. She was going to have that crazy woman harmony 360 committed mysistershotfriendharmony as soon as she could do so without being put mysistershotfriendharmony in foster mysistershotfriendharmony care.

"Oh. Get out mysistershotfriend of my mysistershotfriend way you stupid harmony little shit." "Hey mysistershotfriendharmony, nice dress. I used to have mysistershotfriendharmony one just like it...last year. Hahaha." "Ugh, can you believe her? Her butt is just so mysistershotfriendharmony big. It mysistershotfriend's just mysistershotfriendharmony like...out mysistershotfriend there, I mean...ugh. Gross. Those guys only talk mysistershotfriend to mysistershotfriendharmony her mysistershotfriend because she looks like a total slut, ok, and her mysistershotfriendharmony breasts--you mysistershotfriend can harmony 360, like, totally see mysistershotfriendharmony the crinkles from 360 the wadded-up toilet paper she harmony has in that bra." "Don mysistershotfriendharmony't you know pink was out three months ago? Get mysistershotfriendharmony a credit card you sub-poverty line bitch mysistershotfriend." "What's the matter, can't shave your legs because you need the access stubble to hold up your tube socks 360?" For the remainder of mysistershotfriend the class the abuse continued. The mysistershotfriend bell rang, and the images stopped. She 360 gathered her things and mysistershotfriend handed her half-finished, tear-stained harmony 360 paper to the teacher, then left. She went mysistershotfriend into the office and filched some notebook harmony 360 paper, then wrote out notes of apology to each of the people she'd hurt harmony. Half 360 of them she didn't know, but the voice mysistershotfriend that had sent the visions to her supplied the mysistershotfriend names. She sealed them with tape access and asked the harmony 360 office aides harmony 360 to deliver mysistershotfriend them. After that, she sought out Kat.

"The same way you got a glimpse of your true self." Kat replied.

"I had no idea I hurt people so much mysistershotfriendharmony." Daphne said mysistershotfriendharmony. She was starting to cry again. Kat put one hand on harmony the popular girl's shoulder.

"Xavier the Great." Kat replied. "Would access you like to meet him?"

"Sure." Daphne access said. After seventh period, they met up in the courtyard mysistershotfriend and Kat led her to the harmony parking lot, where harmony there was an RV parked mysistershotfriend between the two crosswalks, but not mysistershotfriendharmony blocking either, which means it mysistershotfriend had to be about 100 feet long. They approached, Xavier greeted them, and Daphne was quickly inducted into the rapidly-growing harem.

"I realize now that I've put far mysistershotfriendharmony too much emphasis on appearances." Daphne replied.

(You've done well for me, Daphne mysistershotfriendharmony.) Master said in her head.
