#4 of The Necklace
As Effie begins to hear voices, Alexis and Maddie reconcile with each other - but their passion is interrupted by a neckpiece with ulterior motives..

The hot water surrounded Effie. She sighed, sinking deeper into the warmth of the bubbly bath. It was nice - scented like lavender, a new bodywash she'd wanted to try. It was a heady scent, certainly - but she supposed that was rather the point. She was here to relax, after all.
She loved to relax.
She found herself nodding at her own thought, and her eyes opened. She was a little confused. She'd never done something like that before, responding to her own thoughts. She must have been very tired.
She sighed, her eyes closing again, with her hands folded on her chest. She was still gently stroking the necklace, still feeling the spiralling grooves as she lay submerged in the water.
She needed this, she decided. She needed to relax much more often.
She nodded at her thoughts, again. She was beginning to relax much deeper, now - the nodding hardly registered.
The hot, steaming water eclipsed her legs as they sunk into the tub. Her body relaxed further, her limbs growing looser. She felt nice. If she wasn't careful, she'd fall asleep right there and then.
But that wouldn't be so bad.
Effie nodded again at her thought. No, it wouldn't be so bad. It had been a long day, and she was so tired.
You're so horny.
The hyena nodded once more. It's true, she was horny. She hadn't been, a moment ago - but as she lay there in the hot water, she felt the pleasure begin to tingle between her legs. It had been a long time since she'd cum. As she stroked the necklace with one hand, she found the other slipping to her pussy, under the water. She hadn't even decided to touch herself, yet, but it seems she was already doing so.
Her fingers slipped between her lips, and she let out a soft moan, fingering herself slowly, tenderly. Enjoying the sensations of electric pleasure coursing through her as she stroked her folds.
_Doesn't that feel good?_Her thoughts asked. "Yes," she said softly, but her face screwed up. She tensed up a little, surprised by her own voice, as her hand pulled away from her sex. "U-uh.." She blushed, rather flustered. "Oh jeeze, that's embarrassing.."
She shifted in the tub, getting much less relaxed, the necklace on her chest slipping down to the bottom of the tub. That was strange.. Her head felt a little fuzzy. She'd never blacked out like that before, especially not while talking to herself.. Maybe she was overworked.
Effie stood up, pulling a towel around herself, and yanked the plug. Somehow, she felt.. Exposed. Like she had to cover up.
She wandered out of the bathroom, drying herself off, as the necklace sat there at the bottom of the bath.
Alexis and Maddie ate dinner, in a rather awkward silence. Maddie sighed softly, and watched as Alex idly pushed some rice around her plate. She didn't seem to be very hungry. Maddie couldn't blame her - she'd barely eaten, either. After a while, Maddie cleared her throat. Alex glanced up at her.
"I'm sorry," the bat said, after a moment's hesitation. "I didn't know it would make you uncomfortable, and I didn't mean to push you. It wasn't fair."
Alex pushed the rice around a little more, her cheek propped up in her hand. "It's alright. I know you didn't want to upset me, it just.. Kinda did. I don't even know why." She sighed.
Maddie's foot gently stroked against Alex's, and she smiled at her roommate. Alexis flinched a bit, before relaxing, playing footsie with Maddie under the table. They were both smiling, now, even giggling as Maddie's toes wiggled against hers. Alexis blushed, spreading her toes, as Maddie's locked with hers. The unicorn squeaked, shivering a bit as Maddie's toes gripped her own. "E-ehehe, gosh.."
Maddie grinned, sticking her tongue out playfully. "You've always been a cutie, Alex."
Alex paused, and her eyes went glassy again. She spoke up, though not as monotonously as she had during previous trances. "So, did you really want a necklace, too?"
Maddie suddenly sat up, and seemed a little tense. "Uh, well.."
She felt conflicted. It seemed so fishy - like everything weird going on had only started once Alex had brought it home. She couldn't even find the damned thing in the jeweller's.. But at the same time, it was admittedly gorgeous. It was beautiful, she'd loved it since the day Alex came home with it. She'd gotten lost in just how gorgeous it was. Even now she was stealing glances at it, sitting atop Alex's shirt. Maddie swallowed hard, and looked up at Alex. "I.. I think I would." At the very least, Maddie could try to figure out what it was, or if something was inside of it..
Alex smiled, and stood up from her chair. She walked closer to Maddie, and sat herself in the bat's lap. Maddie blushed a little bit - Alexis and her hadn't been quite so.. Intimate, in quite a while. Their relationship was a little casual, rather on-off.
"Goodness," Maddie smiled. "What's this in aid of?"
Alex pressed a finger to the bat's lips. "I can get you a necklace," she whispered, gazing into Maddie's eyes. "But I want you to do something for me in return."
Maddie swallowed, and her hands moved to the unicorn's hips. "And, what is it you'd like me to do for you, Alex?"
Alexis smiled, leaning closer and whispering. Maddie blushed, and smiled. "Oh, my."
Fernier was sat in front of her television, zoning out. It was starting to get late, and she was winding down - after all, she'd been exhausted all day, she hardly had the energy to do much at all.
She took a third slice of pizza, and started to eat. She was much too tired to cook that evening, but the local pizza place was a welcome substitute. At least they delivered quickly - she was nodding off then the delivery guy rang her bell.
Whatever it was that was on tv, Fernier was hardly paying attention. All she cared about was unwinding. She idly stroked her necklace as she finished off the slice of pizza, and took another sip of her drink.
Up, the word appeared in her mind, and she found herself standing, sinking into a trance immediately. She'd been told not to fight, after all. She'd hate to disobey.
We're going walking.
"We're going walking," she agreed, her eyes vacant and glazed over once more.
She was marched into the hall, and picked up her coat, pulling it around herself. She walked straight out of the front door, locking it behind her, before marching off in the lazy light of dusk. She was turned down streets she'd never been down before, guided by the necklace into curious parts of town. She looked inconspicuous enough, walking at a regular pace, with a regular posture - it was only her sleepy, glazed eyes that could have given her away.
Fernier, almost lucid as she felt the cool air around her begin to bring her to her senses, found herself asking a question. "Where'm I goin'?" She mumbled, almost feeling ashamed in herself for questioning her lovely owner.
_We're going to see someone who needs our help,_the words responded.
"Oh, yes," Fernier nodded as she walked. "Someone needs our help." She continued to march down the street, past countless cars which whizzed down the road, heading to their respective homes after long, busy days. Fernier sighed happily, feeling the words lull her deeper into trance, listening to the sounds of the cars, like white noise. That lucid feeling melted away, and she was gone again.
Effie pulled her nightgown over herself, and sighed. Maybe she needed an early night tonight. She slipped into her bed, and pulled the covers around herself, closing her eyes. She lay there for a while, trying her hardest to sleep, but she couldn't. She was acutely aware she didn't have the necklace on, and for some reason, it was bothering her.
As she thought through the evening's events, she decided it had probably fallen into the bath, and was likely still there on the bottom of the tub. 'Oh, well,'_she thought to herself. _'It's not like I need it to sleep. It's just some stupid jewellery.'
She wasn't doing a very good job of convincing herself. Her fingers idly tented, her hands fidgeting. It _did_feel surprisingly nice to hold, even if just to play with.. Maybe it was one of those fidget things, like the cubes or the spinners..
She paused, upright in her bed. Had she sat up? She couldn't remember doing it, but.. Here she was. With an exasperated groan, she got up, and began to make her way to the bathroom.
Pulling on the cord to turn on the lights, she glanced into the tub - but it was gone.
She froze, her fur standing up on end. She leaned in closer, and peered into the empty bath - it was definitely gone, but where? Effie stroked her chin, and stood up - before looking in the mirror ahead.
The necklace was floating in the air, just behind her. She let out a yelp, and spun around, staring at it.
You can hear me, the necklace was putting words into her mind. Effie shuddered a bit - it was strange. Invasive. What on earth was going on?
"Y-yes?" She stammered, staring at the floating necklace. "A-are you like.. Haunted?"
No,_the necklace "spoke" once more. Though the words were just appearing in her mind, Effie felt as though it was laughing at her, somehow. _No, I'm not haunted.
"W-well, forgive me for, uh.. Assuming? But necklaces don't usually float.. Or talk."
I am not any old necklace, silly._Hmm. It was definitely mocking her, she decided. _I'd like to show you something.
"What?" Effie was a little hesitant. It wasn't exactly.. Normal, and she felt a more than an little uneasy.
The necklace began to warp like liquid, and expand. It grew much larger, though its thickness seemed to stay the same, becoming a thin, great disc before her. It rippled and wobbled like melted gold, and Effie could make out her reflection in it. It was gorgeous, well-polished gold, at the very least. It seemed to flow, like a whirlpool - faster in the center than at the edges. As it moved, shifted, and swirled, Effie's reflection twisted, and changed - into that of a wolfess, in almost Victorian clothing.
I was formed, long ago, to fulfil a purpose._The words appeared in her mind. The wolfess was wearing the necklace._A young woman, a practicioner of magic, was tired of being neglected, overlooked by the members of the landed gentry. She was tired of feeling unattractive, underappreciated, unwanted. Unloved. The wolf was crying. Effie felt an intense, incredible sadness. So, in the dark of night, as she studied and practised charms and spells, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She wrote herself a personal spell, and enchanted her favourite locket. In the mirror, the wolfess seemed to be speaking - not that Effie could hear it. She was staring into the swirling vortex, trying to make out the shadowy figures within. Wearing that necklace would make her beautiful, now. Captivating. And it worked - she was gorgeous. Effie was closer. She'd been taking steps forward, moving over to the mirror of gold. _But still, she was lonely. The love of these men and women fell away, and decayed, leaving only dull lust. She felt used, and objectified. So, she cast another spell - and my words appeared in her mind. Now, at last, she had someone to talk to. Someone who understood every worry, every stress, every angst._The wolfess seemed happy. Her eyes were glazed, and empty - or, were those Effie's?
Her magic was more powerful than she had planned, however. She needed help to find what she needed - to find true love, to feel truly beautiful. In the night, I went into her mind. In the night, I took her walking. I multiplied. There was a crowd of people in old clothes. Each of them wore the necklace. They were kissing, embracing, laying together. They were happy. They were making love. They were fucking. They were all together in one great orgy, and they were all so happy.
Effie was smiling. She felt the pleasure.
All I required, in return for her happiness, her found love, was control. All I required was ownership. They could live their lives as they always had, as long as they belonged to me. As long as they loved me.
"Loved you?" Effie slurred, stepping closer.
Oh, yes. They hadn't found love in themselves. They found love in me.
"Found love in you," Effie nodded. The swirling grew faster, and faster, the people in the gold fucking and kissing and loving and thanking and worshipping and obeying and belonging and spreading and loving and thanking -
"--and worshipping, and obeying, and belonging, and spreading, and loving, and thanking," Effie was speaking monotonously. Her eyelids were heavy, and drooping, her eyes nicely vacant as she stood there, leaning forward. The gold pulled itself in, forming back into the necklace. Effie found herself taking it in her hands.
_I submit,_the words appeared in her mind. "I submit," she responded blankly, repeating all the words that appeared in her mind. "To my master, to my lover. I love the way you make me feel. It would be my honour to submit to you. It would be my pleasure to spread your love. I will never think again. I will never need to." She was drooling, and her sex was dripping beneath her nightgown.
Thank me.
"Thank you." She sighed softly, placing the necklace around her neck.
She, too, was gone. She barely registered the knock at the door, until she was commanded to answer it. Standing on her porch, equally hypnotized, was Fernier.
Effie stood aside, and the worgen marched indoors, closing the door behind her.
Maddie moaned softly, stroking herself as Alexis knelt at the foot of the bed. The bat's fingers idly, softly stroked her sensitive clit, dipping into herself every now and then, feeling herself as she let Alexis kiss her paws. The unicorn was keeping her eyes trained on Maddie, gazing into her eyes. Maddie, on the other hand, kept closing them, as the intense pleasure washed over her. She always liked having her feet attended to - and Alex did it better than anyone else could. Her tongue was gentle, and soft, and tender, sliding against Maddie's soles, circling her pawpads, slipping between her toes.. Maddie shivered happily at that, spreading her digits for her partner. Alexis opened her maw a little wider, and began to suck on Maddie's toes. She started with one, her tongue swirling around it, and then two; her eager, yellow tongue lapped against those beans, sliding between the bat's toes. Maddie gently gripped Alex's tongue with them, giving a teasing wink as she continued to pleasure herself. One hand was on her breast, the other inside of her, rubbing up and down her sex with a few fingers. She was speeding up, almost needy - almost. Maddie was never visibly submissive - unless it was for her own body. She panted, her wings fluttering against the pillows, as she closed her eyes, rubbing faster.
Look at me, she heard. It must have been Alexis - after all, nobody else was in the room.
Maddie opened her eyes, and Alexis was still gazing into hers. Her tongue was sliding up her soles, from heel to toes, and Maddie gasped, panting harder. She sounded needy. She looked needy. Her cheeks were burning bright red.
Alexis continued to worship her paws. As her head bobbed and weaved, the necklace swung and swayed from her neck. It caught the light as it rocked back and forth, and caught Maddie's attention.
Maddie, furiously fingering herself, kept gazing at Alex, enjoying how her worshipping felt. Alex was throbbing, stroking her cock with a free paw as she suckled on the bat's toes.
Maddie gasped, pinching her nipples as she gazed into Alex's glassy eyes. It looked as though she was totally overcome with pleasure - and Maddie felt the same. It felt wonderful. It felt so good. She wanted to feel this way forever.
The thoughts were appearing in her mind, without her even thinking them - but Maddie was too worked up to notice, as her toes curled and splayed with the sheer intensity of the pleasure. Her fingers spread herself, felt herself, rubbed herself, she was so close, and she wanted to cum, she wanted to watch the locket, she wanted to cum so so hard, she wanted Alex to lick her feet and drink her juices, she wanted to focus on the swinging locket, she wanted to cum over and over again for Alex, she loved the way the gold shimmered, she wanted to feel this incredible intense pleasure forever and ever, she loved the way it swung back and forth, she was so close and she wanted to cum there and then, she was a good girl who loved the pleasure, she loved Alex with all her heart and mind, she loved the necklace with all of her very being, she loved the way she licked her toes, she wanted the necklace to take her away, she couldn't think - it felt too good, she couldn't think - her mind was empty, she couldn't think - it told her not to, she couldn't think - she didn't want to, she couldn't think - it would think for her, she wouldn't think - she hated free will, she couldn't think - it wasn't necessary, she wouldn't resist - why would she resist the pleasure, she wouldn't resist - as the necklace shifted into two, she wouldn't resist - as it sailed silently through the air so pretty and perfect, she belonged to it - as it fell around her neck, she was its slave - as it hit her chest -
Maddie, drooling all over herself, with vacant, glassy eyes, came hard - and silently. She didn't moan, didn't speak, didn't say a word. Her body spasmed, as though she was having a fit, as her juices spurted from her red, sensitive cunt, and soaked the towel beneath her. Alexis, still sucking on her toes, came too - spurting rope after rope after rope of her mess all over the bed. The pleasure was shared between the both of them. Amplified by their new master. Alexis' throat let out a strangled croak, the only noise she could make, as she came harder than she ever had before. Maddie was still squirting after 20 seconds, riding the wave of the greatest orgasm she had ever had in her entire life.
They rode the afterglow out, and collapsed there, Alexis flopping between Maddie's legs as Maddie fell back, the both of them panting. The both of them, exhausted.
"Yes," Maddie almost whispered. "Sleepy."
Alexis felt the pleasure well up inside of her as the necklace rewarded her for bringing Maddie under their control. She drooled into the sheets, as Maddie responded blankly to the words in her head, between pants and deep breaths.
"Never need to think anymore.. Thank you."
Alexis' eyes swirled with the same beautiful gold of the necklace.
