Charlotte loved keeping up with campus gossip. Word got round very quickly when something out of the ordinary was afoot. But the latest rumour - that the year-abroad exchange student in second year maths could hypnotise people with just her eyes, seemed farcical.
Her friend Rachel had sent her a video she had seen online of a supposed âinductionâ during a hockey team social last week. It showed a guy knelt down taking his shirt off in front of a girl with a large crowd behind them. You couldnât see her face, but you could see the guyâs vacant expression quite clearly - his eyes blank and mouth wide agape. His body started to gently spin clockwise before he collapsed in a heap on the floor. Apparently, according to video description, everyone in the crowd in the background woke up the next morning in that room, semi-clothed and none of them could remember a thing. Then, apparently, later that week, the mixed A-team got disqualified from their match due to some of their team attempting to strip on the pitch.
âThis was not anything out of the ordinary for the hockey team,â Charlotte thought, it was not unusual for sports societies to get blackout drunk at even the most vanilla social occasion. But taking off their shirts on mass in the middle of a match? That was a new low.
However, there was a small part of Charlotte that was very intrigued in the video. Ever since completing a research project on clinical hypnotherapy at college, she had developed a certain interest in the subject. She wouldnât admit it to anyone, but she longed to be hypnotised for real. Late at night she would watch clips from tv shows and movies of hypnosis scenes - all very fake and scripted with poor acting a lot of the time (from both hypnotist and hypnotisee) Sadly from her research, she knew that this type of supposed âmind controlâ through fantastical and otherworldly powers was simply not real, however much she yearned for it to be the case. In the case of this supposed hypnotist online, Charlotte knew it to be fake.
Besides, Charlotte had bigger problems. For starters, she was running late to her orchestra societyâs houseparty. She would be meeting her two friends Lauren and Rachel there.
Shortly after she arrived, she received a text from Rachel
âWhere are you? I need to talk to you nowâ
They met at the bottom of the stairs
âRachel, whatâs the matter? Whereâs Heather?â
âSheâs here. Iâve found her, the hypnotist girl! Sheâs called Iris. Sheâs upstairs in one of the bedrooms and sheâs been hypnotising everyone. Heather volunteered first - Charlotte youâve never seen anything like it beforeâ
Charlotte felt uneasy. She couldnât believe what she was hearing. Was her friend ok?
âWeâve got to go try it Charlotte. Follow meâ
ââŚwaitâ Charlotte called. But it was hopeless, Rachel was already halfway up the stairs. âRachel are you sure this is a good idea. Iâm not getting dragged into anything weird, ok?â
Charlotte didnât want to let on to Rachel that she knew a lot about hypnosis already, what a hypnotist could make someone do and -
âŚNo, Charlotte thought, itâs not real. Heather must be drunk. Weâll pick her up and go home
Charlotte chased after Rachel, who burst through one of the bedroom doors
âOh, hello thereâ a voice called.
Charlotte peered through the doorway to find the girl from the video. Iris. She was sat cross legged on someoneâs bed, around her on the floor laid the sleeping bodies of her fellow students, lying next to their discarded shirts and jumpers. Though Charlotte was (mostly) straight, she couldnât help but admire her beauty. She had a tomboy-ish vibe to her, wearing rough jeans, a petite jacket, golden curly locks of hair and her eyes- Charlotte almost froze in place just from a quick glance at them. The blue shade looked as deep as the sea, as Charlotte felt herself staring straight into them, sinking and -
âHey, uhh you ok there?â Rachel called
Charlotte blinked, then turned her head away from Iris. âYeah, Iâm fine Rachelâ She noticed her friend Heather, lying on the floor, her chest moving up and down in a slow somber rhythm, her closed eyelids flickering. She was very deeply asleep
âI thought I saw you in the crowd but you left - thought you might have been too scaredâ Iris said to Rachel.
âNot at allâ Rachel replied, âI just went to bring my friend up so we can be hypnotised together!
Charlotte protested ââŚWhat! Rachel, I never agreed to do thisâ She was getting a bit flustered
âI think we should turn around and leave. These people looked drugged.â
Secretly of course, Charlotte was very intrigued.
She went over to Heather â...Hey, wake up. Weâre leaving â
âShe wonât hear youâ said Iris. âNot until Iâve woken her up. It took a while but she did fall under trance eventually. She was the first to volunteer, after all. She was so keen, and I wouldnât want to let her downâ
Rachel was getting very excited âIris, please please hypnotise me! Then you can work on my friend over hereâ
âOf course. Kneel down in front of meâ
Rachel obeyed. She looked up and met Irisâ gaze while Charlotte watched on in fear and growing curiosity. She walked round the back of the bed to avoid Irisâ eyes directly, and also so she could see the change in Rachel more closely. Rachel had a massive grin on her face, and at one point burst into a fit of giggles.
ââŚsorry! This is just too exciting. Iâll behave myself⌠promiseâ stuttered Rachel. She turned her full attention back to Iris
âShhh. Quieten your mind. Just keep looking deeper into my eyesâ
Slowly, Rachelâs smile and laugh disappeared from her face, as if she was being drained of her usual spirited energy. Her eyes grew glassy and wide. Her shoulders relaxed. Her mouth remained slightly open as she made unbroken eye contact with Iris. It felt strange for Charlotte to see her friend acting like this. She looked down at Heather, blissfully sleeping.
Rachel began to sway gently round and round in circles.
âYour shirt Rachel is feeling very itchy. The feeling builds the longer you look into my eyesâ
âYesâ Rachel muttered quietly, âMy shirt is itchyâ.
She tugged slightly at the fabric
âTake off your shirt for meâ
Slowly, Rachelâs hands moved over her body and pulled her t-shirt off before dropping it onto the floor in front of her - leaving her kneeling in just her denim jeans and silky black bra
Charlotte couldnât help but look at Rachelâs body - she had never seen her friend shirtless before. And in this state, all blank and mindless, she was very attractive.
âGood girl. Youâll be joining your friend soonâ
Iris reached down and held Rachelâs chin up with a single finger âwhy did you decide to come back to me?â
âI need to know- what it feels likeâ
âAnd are you deeply hypnotised right now?
Rachelâs eyes were fluttering, trying to keep focused on Irisâ gaze ââŚyesâ
And in an instant Rachelâs eyes flickered close, and fell backwards onto the floor. She had the faintest smile as she laid there on the carpet, her eyelids flickering much like Heatherâs and everyone elseâs in the room
Iris giggled âyour friend was really easy to hypnotise. Perhaps the easiest in a while. She seemed to really want to be controlledâ
She turned her head round to face Charlotte, which caught her off guard. She still tried to avert her eyes from looking directly at Iris, but not before catching the faintest glimpse, now glowing a bit stronger than before.
âThatâs great, a nice little party trick, but I think itâs time for us to go now. If you could help me wake up my friends here weâll be out of your wayâ
Deep down though, Charlotte was slightly turned on looking at her friends on the floor. The idea of being induced to sleep sounded strangely sensual.
I could be next, she thought. I can join them
âA party trick, eh? Donât you want to have a go too? Thereâs no need to be hasty there, you havenât even told me your name.â
âMy name is Charlotte. But as I said Iâm not stayingâ
âCharlotte, thatâs a lovely name. Canât help but notice Charlotte that youâve been avoiding looking me in the eye all evening. Thatâs a bit rude isnât itâ
âAre you scared of them?â
âDonât you want to take a little peek?â
Charlotte did indeed want to take a peek. She had been captivated by them from the first time she opened the door
ââŚI⌠alright then. A peek wonât hurt anyoneâ
âCharlotte, we both know you are about to fall very deep into hypnosis. Are you alright with me taking control of your mind? To let me have my fun with youâ
Charlotte shivered slightly. Sheâd actually like that very much.
She meekly nodded her head
Charlotte looked straight into Irisâ eyes. She couldnât hold back any longer. Deep, deep blue, with endless depth and contour. As she continued to stare, she noticed that Irisâ eyes had begun to glow, softly and subtly, and streaks of green, yellow and blue had begun to spiral out of her pupils. They looked beautiful, as did Iris herself.
She didnât even realise that she had instinctively followed Irisâ command to kneel down and was now on the floor right beside where Rachel was lying. In fact it was getting hard to think about anything else other than the beauty of Irisâ eyes - glowing warmly and spiralling further into Charlotteâs mind
âYou seem really shy Charlotte. Are you afraid of being hypnotised? Afraid of giving up control? Thatâs ok. Try to see how long you can resist my power. See how long your mental defences protect you for. Or donât, itâs up to you. Youâll fall eventually.â
âI need to⌠resistâ Charlotteâs brow furrowed as she tried to look away from Iris, to think about anything else but her eyes. But she started to wonder why she would ever want to look away? Her cheeks went bright red
âSo you still choose to resist. To deny what you truly want. Try to get up, Charlotteâ
Charlotte tried to move her legs, but as try as she might, it was like she was locked, frozen in place. All she could manage was a feeble squirm.
âWhat⌠are you doing to me.â
âDo you wish to continue?â
Charlotte gaspedâŚ. ââŚ.yes! Please!â
Iris laughed softly âLooks like youâre getting very hot there Charlotte. Very hot and flustered. Thatâs ok, just take your shirt off I donât mindâ
Charlotte didnât need to be asked twice, she was already sweating heavily. Her hands moved by themselves unbuttoning her shirt, the shirt falling loosely off her arms and onto the floor behind her. Her hands then fell loosely in her lap as her entire body let go of all tension
Charlotte felt a chill flow through her body. The air in the room was cool, the window was open and felt so good on her skin.
âCharlotte my dear, you were meant to try to resist my suggestions. Before that, you wanted to leave and take your friends with you, remember? Or did you just tell yourself that? And besides, you canât leave now, youâre half nakedâ
âIâm⌠naked?â Charlotte was normally shy of her body, but right now she couldnât quite process where she was or that Iris could see her in her bra
âYes you are Charlotte. But thereâs nothing to worry about. Iâm just teasing youâ
Swirling and spiraling, Charlotte felt her body swaying in a clockwise motion, locked into the soft pulsations of Irisâ spirally eyes. Every rotation of her body felt like a whirlpool dragging her down into inevitable sleep.
âSee how easily I can control your mindâ
Charlotte heard her own voice, somewhere far above her, reply ââŚYesâ
âSee how easily you are hypnotised - even more so than your friendsâ
âAnd you love this feeling, donât you? Youâve secretly been longing for this ever since you arrived, havenât you?â
Charlotte felt a sudden chill and her thighs squeezed slightly together
âShhh, itâs ok to admit it. You love this feelingâ
Her admission sent Charlotte even deeper into her trance-like state, as if the last line of defence to her mind had been compromised. All Charlotte could see now was a blue light, glowing brighter and fiercer than ever and the spiral which captured her entire vision. All she could hear was Irisâ voice. Each turn of the spiral combined with each rotation of her body sent her spiralling ten times further down into her subconscious. Ten times deeper into the whirlpool. Ten times further into mindless bliss.
âHow much do you want to fall deeply asleep right now?â
ââŚpleaseâ Charlotte mouthed, unable to quite get her voice to speak more than just a whisper. Her mouth stayed open, slack.
âI⌠need⌠to be hypnotised⌠like Rachel and Heatherâ
âBut you said hypnosis wasnât realâ
âHypnotise me, Irisâ Charlotte couldnât be aware of it now but she was getting very wet - a long trail of saliva was dripping from her mouth into her lap
âShhhâŚâ whispered Iris âCharlotte you were hypnotised from the moment you knelt down in front of me. And as agreed, this is just my reward nowâ
Charlotte was very far gone now. She could barely hold onto the meaning of the words Iris was saying, but she kept listening for those words she craved. Sleep Now. To be able to join her friends on the floor. Mentally, she was already there.
âTell me how much pleasure you feel being controlledâ
Charlotteâs eyes were battling to stay open, to stay staring straight into the blue light.
ââŚuhhhâ She couldnât speak. Pleasure was building all throughout her body
