Live A Little Ch 2
#9 of Cadi, side-stories
The Mother Superior sat there in her office, very much disturbed by Caroline's visit. How could she have just... given in like that? And... all of those things that she was saying about the people... the transhumans of that island being better at following the teachings than the most devoutly avowed people she knew. It was eating at her very badly.
And then there was that cursed card sitting on the desk there. "All are welcome," she scoffed, frowning severely as she stared at it so intently, that you might think she was trying to set it alight with her gaze alone.
It didn't ignite, but rather just sat there. Like a normal business card.
She wrestled with herself over it for a while longer before, in frustration, she snatched it up and walked over to the door. "She's just trying to make a fool of me. I'm going to open the door while holding it and nothing is going to happen. You'll s..." she trailed off as she opened the door and was greeted with a view of... not the sunny city street that she'd seen when Caroline had gone through, but instead the great hall of an ornately decorated alpine lodge.
She closed the door, rubbing her eyes as though they were simply so tired and worn out that she'd been seeing things. She took another deep breath and opened the door again, seeing the chalet once more. As she looked about, she saw many furs lounging about and relaxing around the fireplaces and sitting nooks.
She saw quite a few white-furred rabbits... who looked exceptionally soft. They made their way around the room, tending to the others around it. Employees? Curious that they had so many employees of the same species. She shook her head and closed her eyes for a moment, looking down at the card, reading the slogan on it. "All are welcome."
She swore under her breath and walked through the door, letting it close behind her. As she looked around, seeming rather lost on what to do now that she was here, one of the rabbits came up to her, smiling warmly. "Welcome to the lodge. How can I help you today?" Yes... employees.
The elderly nun sighed and rubbed her forehead. "I... I need to relax," she said, with no particular direction to the statement. Still, the rabbit seemed to understand at once.
She smiled at her, bowing her head respectfully to her. "Understood. Please follow me," she said, starting to walk at a relaxed pace, rather than rushing the woman along.
She looked after the rabbit and thought to herself that there was no way that she was going to just follow this transhuman. And yet... she found her feet carrying her along after the rabbit as she was led down a corridor.
The rabbit stopped in front of one of the doors and opened it, bowing to the nun as she stood beside it, "Please, step inside. This will be your private care room. I can assure you that you will find it most relaxing and rejuvenating."
She looked through the door warily... and it looked to be some kind of a private spa, with a hot spring tub, massage bed... comfortable reclining chair in it... She let out a huff and said, "Thank you," in a less than gracious tone as she walked into the room. The bunny stepped inside after her and closed the door behind them.
"I think that you will enjoy the hot spring first, ma'am. It taps into the natural geothermal water of the mountain, and you will find it very relaxing, as you requested," she said as she went to the cupboards, retrieving a few bath salts and oils, keeping the selection fairly simple. She added them to the water, filling the room with a lovely, calming scent. When she was done, she turned to face the Mother Superior, bowing respectfully to her. "I will leave the room, and allow you to enjoy your bath. When you are ready for me, there are red buttons around the room, which will call me so that I can continue your treatment today."
The woman wanted to scoff... but actually stopped herself before she did. She would have privacy in here... and quiet. The only sound in the room was the bubbling trickle of water into the hot spring, and it was... quite peaceful. "Thank you," she said... much more graciously this time as the rabbit left the room, closing the door behind her.
She was relieved to at least see a handrail present at the pool so that she wouldn't have to worry so much about slipping and falling which... was, honestly, a fairly reasonable concern for her these days. Still, she found the towels and... against her better judgment, undressed herself. She looked down at her body with an air of regret. The years had not been kind to her. Still. Kind or not, she could at least enjoy a nice bath like this, right?
She placed the towel by the edge of the pool before she gripped the handrail and made her way down into the water. As she sank down into it, she couldn't help but make a sound of contented relief, shivering a little as the warmth seeped into her bones... which felt as though they had become strangers to the warmth for entirely too long now.
She felt the aches and pains of age fading away as she soaked in the water. Soon enough, she felt as though she was unable to keep her eyes open. Thankfully, she discovered that there was a pillow on a seat carved into the rock that she could settle into and lay her head on while she took a nap. Just a little one. She closed her eyes and just did her best to let the warmth of the water... provide a bit of relief for her old bones.
Sometime later (she couldn't be certain how long), she woke up and could not help but just... stretch lazily. Mmm... that was good. Whatever it was about the water, and the things that the rabbit had added to it, her body didn't ache at all, as she had grown accustomed to.
She yawned and looked around, stretching out her arms in front of her. When her brain properly registered them, she froze in her place. What had happened to all of the wrinkles and loose skin? The blemishes of age, and the slenderness of her arms? The arms in front of her were... toned... the muscles well defined. The skin was... smooth... showing none of the ravages of age.
Even her hands were... so much younger than they had been. Her mind was connecting dots, and she finally got the cue to look down at the rest of herself. She nearly felt her heart stop as she stared at her body under the water. After a moment of shock, she stood up suddenly, looking down at herself. This wasn't her body! It couldn't be! But... as she looked at it, she came to realize that... yes... it was her body... just... her body from fifty years earlier.
She could feel tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at herself. She really had been quite beautiful at that age, though her strict parents had always taught her to hide her beauty from others. That it was improper to draw attention to yourself in those ways. It was... part of what had set her down the path she'd taken in life. That and other of their... teachings.
She let out a sigh, but even as she did... their old admonitions were like... faded static over an aging radio. The kind that no one made these days anymore. Freed from that... burden, she took a deep breath and examined herself more closely. She really couldn't help but smile as she took in her body. "Oh, to be young again..." she said, and her voice gave her another start. It was... as young as the rest of her body was.
She took several steps, climbing out of the pool without even thinking to use the handrail this time. She didn't need it. Her movements were steady and confident. She walked quickly to a mirror, bracing herself for what she feared she would see. How cruel of a trick would it be for her face to have remained the same, simply because it hadn't been in the water? But... it wasn't the same.
Her hair was long and black... free to hang down her back now that it was freed from her severe bun. Her face had no wrinkles on it at all, and she simply could not help but start crying at the sight of herself. She was... beautiful. She was lost for a long moment, looking at her reflection before she caught sight of a red button within arm's reach. She pressed it, and there was a gentle chiming, rather than the aggressive buzzing that she had expected.
Shortly after, the rabbit came into the room through the door and smiled at the young woman in front of her. There was no surprise in her expression or demeanor at all. She simply smiled and asked, "Did you enjoy your bath?"
She looked incredulously at the rabbit, blinking at her for a moment. "Did I enjoy my bath? Look at me! I'm... I'm young! What... what is going on here?"
The rabbit nodded, "Yes. Our rejuvenating hot springs are very effective. The water, herbs, and oils can do some very amazing things to help people recover and regain their vitality."
She just stared at her for a long moment. "That's... not... normal..." she said in surprise.
The rabbit's brow furrowed a little. "Yes. Unfortunately, that is true in the outside world. However, here at the lodge on Tropico, it is quite a common effect of the hot springs. The magic of the island does quite a lot to care for those who come up here needing care."
She blinked and stared blankly at her. "That is... ahh... okay?" She couldn't pretend that she hadn't known there was magic in this place. Caroline's transformation and the door bringing her here had been proof positive of that fact. She turned to look at herself in the mirror again. "Is it... something that will fade with time?" She looked back at the bunny, a tinge of fear in her eyes.
"Well... yes, in the sense that it does not prevent your body from aging going forward... but... it isn't just... like some cosmetic that will wash away or rub off in a matter of a day or two, revealing the old form underneath it. Your body has, quite simply, been rejuvenated."
She stared at herself in the full-body mirror once more, processing what the rabbit had just said. "So... this is... just how I am now..." she said, not really asking it as a question directed at the rabbit. She considered herself for a moment before she turned to look at the attendant once more. "You said that... once I was done with my bath... we could continue my treatment? Well... I'm done with the bath, I suppose. What is next?"
The rabbit smiled, walking over to stand beside the massage table before she bowed at the young woman. "Next, I will happily give you a massage," she said.
She raised her eyebrows, looking at the table with the ringed headrest. "I've... never actually had a massage before," she said idly. Still, she walked over to it. She was unsure of what to do, so the rabbit, without missing a beat, directed her to lie down on the table, with her face in the ring of the headrest, and her arms at her sides.
She followed the directions and just let out a breath... though she gasped softly when she felt warm massage lotion placed on her back. She couldn't help but laugh at the sound of surprise, smiling as she just lay there and let the rabbit get to work.
Now... if she had thought that the bath was relaxing... she soon found that it was practically nothing compared to the massage. Something about the feel of the rabbit's fingers working into her muscles... her young muscles simply made her brain... slip and drift, losing all sense of focus.
Mmm... what the sisters will think when they see their Mother Superior so relaxed... and so young... but that's not really... right anymore. Mother Superior just... feels like someone else now. Another life. Evelyn... that's the name my parents gave me... but even that sounds so old... Lynn _... yes, I kind of like that. I can be alright being_ Lynn.
Her mind just continued drifting along, and as she relaxed, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she thought, How many of the other sisters could do with treatment here? Damn near all of them, I'd wager... She chuckled so well that it made her nose twitch a little. She wasn't paying attention to what was happening to her body... which was as well because if she'd been aware of it, she might have panicked.
She wasn't aware of the fur growing over her toned body, or the way that her ears had moved to the top of her head, standing out nice and straight while a little cotton tail took shape above her smooth, well-muscled backside. Nor that her legs had filled out a little more, and that her feet had become... longer. Even the muzzle that had grown from the front of her face didn't register for her.
As she lazed about there, she couldn't help but yawn a little. "Mmm... miss... would it be at all... unreasonable to bring other people here? I really think that the other nuns at my convent would do very well with a spa day here..." she said as her mind drifted along.
The rabbit smiled and nodded her head, "Oh, of course. As we say, all are welcome," she said with a giggle, which... Lynn was surprised got a giggle from her as well.
"Well... I'm going to have to bring them here, then. The years haven't been a lot kinder to many of them than they've been to me... and the younger ones... they deserve the chance to live a little, too..."
"That sounds lovely. We have many highly qualified bunnies here to tend to them, just as I am tending to you."
Bunny... yes, that fit her a lot better than 'rabbit'... she thought as she just kind of... let herself doze off.
Lynn didn't fully come back around to herself for a decent while. By the time her brain had really reasserted itself to any kind of conscious thought, she'd already had her mani and pedi, her facial, and everything. When her brain really started ticking over again, she realized that she'd been chatting away about the other nuns while the bunny was working on her hair. She looked at herself in the mirror, seeing the rabbit-like features.
She blinked and just... kind of took it as it was. More what caught her attention was the way the bunny was working some rather... beautiful, deep blue highlights into her hair. "Mmm... never would have thought of going with highlights... but I kind of like them... and... you've made me a bunny... like you?"
The bunny giggled softly, shaking her head. "No... you're not a bunny. You're a hare. Same family, but much more... athletic," she said with a little laugh as Lynn looked down over herself.
"Hmm," Lynn said, looking at herself in the mirror. "I can see that." She just settled back and relaxed as she enjoyed having her hair worked on the way it was. She also recognized with a sense of curiosity that she was also still... completely naked... and found it rather interesting how little that bothered her at the moment. "Is it normal to feel... this alright... being a fur... and just... not worrying bout the fact that I'm completely naked right now?"
The bunny laughed and smiled, nodding her head. "The transformation to fur often comes with a releasing of inhibitions that people carry as emotional baggage as a human," she explained.
"Ah," Lynn replied, thinking about it for a while longer. "That probably also has to do with why I think you are so cute... and... kind of want to know what it would feel like to kiss you," she said, finding that it bothered her significantly less than she felt it should.
The bunny looked down at her and smiled warmly. "Would you really like to kiss me?"
Lynn looked up at her... feeling... entirely too calm at the moment. "Yes. Yes, I would," she said as she stood up and turned to face the bunny. She was taller than she had expected herself to be. But whether that was the transformation or the fact that she wasn't stooped over with age anymore was beside the point. She smiled at the bunny and leaned in, one hand moving to hold her cheek as she kissed her deeply, full on the lips.
She was surprised at how... nice it was. The feel of the bunny's soft lips against hers... the way they tasted of cocoa and mint... yes... this was very nice. She continued kissing her for a good while, not even thinking as one hand moved to stroke the back of her head while the other arm wrapped around her waist, holding her very tenderly as she shared the kiss with her.
It was quite a while before she came up for air, but her breathing was a little quick. She realized that she was holding the bunny the way she was. She was also surprised at how natural it felt for her. She looked into the bunny's eyes, seeing nothing but love and happiness in them. "Mm. I feel like I want to do more than just kiss you... like... I don't want to be the only one naked here..." she said with a playful laugh and a little glint in her eye.
The bunny looked delighted at what she was saying. "Ooh... and what do you want to do with me naked here?" She giggled and smiled, leaning up to give Lynn's lips a little lick as her arms gently held the hare.
The young hare grinned and kissed her bunny again much more fiercely, licking at her lips as she pressed her body tighter against the adorable little ball of fluff. The fluffiness... it was awful... so soft... so welcoming... so... tempting... She couldn't stop herself as her hands moved to remove the bunny's clothes, stripping them away with a fierce hunger.
She broke the kiss so that she could more effectively disrobe her attendant, though she found that her clothes were much easier to remove than she had expected. That brought a smile to the hare's face, as did the beautiful, full curves of the bunny's body... her heavy double-D breasts and her full, round hips... and her backside...
Lynn could not resist reaching around with both hands, grabbing and gripping the bunny's ass roughly, really digging her fingers into the soft flesh. She kneaded it for a moment before one hand released her and swiftly moved to give her a sharp pop, which felt... so good.
Lynn's body was... as the bunny said, more athletic... nicely muscled, and toned. She was rather pleased that her chest had filled out once more to the C-cup that her parents had done their best to hide away from the world with the clothes that she wore, but now... why the fuck not show it off?
The bunny moaned so beautifully as she nuzzled into Lynn's heavy breasts, kissing along them as the hare played with her ass like that. Feeling the bunny's response to her attentions made Lynn feel more certain about what she was doing, and after a moment, she picked the bunny up and turned to set her on the massage table this time... face down with her backside in the air.
After a quick scan of the area, she found a long, slender pillow of a kind which was usually used to put under someone's knees while they were face up on the table... but Lynn took it and slid it under the bunny's hips, leaving her ass even more clearly presented to the hare.
As she looked for things to use on the poor bunny, she realized that there were quite a few... special implements left out in plain view in the room. How had she not noticed them before? She couldn't help but lick her lips slowly as she walked over to the table that they were all laid out on, running her fingers over them. Her fingers settled on the leather handle of a flogger, which she picked up and gave a few experimental swings, finding that she liked the weight of it in her hand.
She walked back over to her bunny before she trailed it lightly over her upturned ass and thighs, getting a very pretty moan from her. "Oh, you like that, don't you? Naughty little thing..." she said. She was still more than capable of projecting the aura of power and authority that she'd learned as the head of the convent, and she... was enjoying using it like this.
She deftly brought the flogger cracking down across the bunny's backside, rather glad that there wasn't a long tail to have to contend with. The sound of joy from the bunny was more than enough to spur her further on, bringing the flogger cracking down across her ass again and again. She watched her bunny's backside bounce and jiggle about, and it... it thrilled her.
She continued to lash the bunny, turning her back, legs, and ass so sweetly pink before she reached over to the table, dropping the flogger on it before she picked up the leather-clad paddle, cracking it across her ass. Oh, the way she sang so sweetly at that was... making Lynn's head swim. Blow after blow with the paddle... and she could see just how badly dripping the little bunny's pussy was between her legs.
Her own thighs were soaked with her arousal, and she couldn't hold back any longer. She tossed the paddle back onto the table and grabbed the last thing she had seen. It was long and flexible... a double-ended dildo to fuck the bunny with. She stood there shakily, her senses flooded with need as she pressed one end up into herself, moaning loudly as it stretched her passage... so wonderfully.
She grabbed hold of the pillow holding the bunny's hips up and tossed it to one side before she rolled the bunny onto her side. She then climbed up onto the massage table, lifting one of the little slut's legs up nice and high so that she could bring herself in between them. She used her free hand to grip the other end of the dildo as she positioned herself, rubbing it against the bunny's sweet little cunt before she drove herself forward with a mighty thrust, driving deep into her body with a moan that echoed throughout the room.
She was lost in the moment of passion and lust, thrusting her hips against the bunny's... her bunny's pussy, using the toy to fuck her. The little sweetheart was singing so prettily for Lynn, it was... making her feel... dizzy... But, rather than fight that sensation, she embraced it, leaning into the frenzy of their mating until she drove her hips down against her sweetheart's crotch, grinding her pussy against the bunny's as she threw her head back and screamed as she came... for the first time in her life.
Her brain went completely blank, giving her the final mental reset that she needed with this spa treatment. She collapsed against the bunny, panting heavily while her mind worked overtime putting itself back together after that mind-blowing orgasm. She'd never known what she was missing.
When she came back to Earth, the bunny was just snuggling so sweetly against her, loving softly on her in a way that made Lynn's heart skip a beat. The hare smiled and wrapped her arms around the bunny, cradling her softly as she let out a soft breath. "I think... I want to keep you..." she said with a soft laugh.
The bunny blushed so sweetly, looking up at Lynn with just the tenderest smile on her face, wordlessly telling her that she would like that, too.
As the tigress stared at the hare, both of them at a total loss for what to say, Nicki came bouncing up beside Lynn, cozying up against her side. Her outfit was just... adorable, and she had a cute little collar around her neck. "Mistress, I think I found another good shop for us to go to," she said.
Lynn blushed a little, and Caroline gave her a big old "is there something you'd like to tell me" grin. Amy and Justin blushed a little, hearing the bunny call the hare mistress, with the collar around her neck.
Lynn let out a big sigh. "Okay. Yes. The lodge did me a world of good," she said in exasperation, even as she wrapped her arm around Nicki, holding her gently. "Nicki, this is Caroline... she used to work for me," she said, smiling and shaking her head.
Caroline beamed at Lynn. "And these are Amy and Justin. They are my pets," she said, giving them a hug that made them blush and hide their faces against her... just... so... adorably. "I'm glad that you had a good time at the lodge, Mother Superior. I've heard wonderful things about it."
The hare winced at the name. "Lynn, please. That... title doesn't feel right anymore."
Caroline smiled and bowed her head. "Understood. New life and all, right?" She looked at her two sweethearts and then at Lynn's. "I think I understand a little better why we... tended to butt heads so often," she said with a soft laugh.
Lynn considered that for a moment before she nodded as well. "I... suppose it does make a new kind of sense now, doesn't it?" She took a deep breath and gave Caroline a genuine smile, holding her hand out to her. "New starts, yes?"
The tigress smiled right back and took Lynn's hand, giving it a nice, firm shake. "New starts," she said with a little chuckle as her eyes drifted to the collar around Nicki's throat. "That's a very nice collar. Where did you find it? I'm... going to need a pair for myself," she said with a little laugh, which Lynn joined in on.
From there, they puttered around some of the shops, Lynn showing Caroline to the leatherworker that she'd gotten the collar from, along with a few other things that were in the bags. Lynn and Nicki helped Caroline pick out a lovely matched pair of collars, which the owner of the shop assured them were quite waterproof. They were very beautiful, with mingling shades of blue and iridescent stones set right where the ring connected.
Amy and Justin nearly burst into tears as Caroline placed the collars around their necks, kissing each of them on the forehead as she did. They embraced her, thanking her as they all just rode out the emotions of the moment.
The five of them continued their shopping well into the afternoon before they found a nice little cafe that even had cushions on offer for pets to sit on at their dominant's side while they ate. There were even little places to set cups and plates on the legs of the table so that they didn't have to fuss with reaching up onto the main tabletop so often.
"It really is a beautiful island... and I see what you were talking about with the... kindness and generosity of the people here," she said, watching a couple with a little girl skipping along with them as they walked down the street, "And I don't think that I'm going to miss the cars in the least."
Caroline smiled and sighed, sipping on her iced coffee. "I know, right? I mean, the recent conflict aside, it's been pretty darn close to an 'earthly paradise' since we got here," she said with a laugh.
"Yes, Nicki was telling me about that. Quite the wild affair, really. Mmm... it's just a pity that the other nuns aren't here to enjoy it, themselves."
"Well? Why not fix that?"
Lynn blinked, looking across the table at Caroline. "What... just... fix it? Like it is that simple?"
Caroline laughed softly, "Well, yes. I mean, aside from getting you to use the card, how... harrowing of a process was it for you?"
The hare considered for a moment, nodding her head as her fingers gently played with Nicki's hair. "No... I suppose it really was quite simple in the end... Goodness, though, they'll be worried about me by now," she said with a laugh. "I've been gone all day!"
Caroline grinned from ear to ear, a twinkle in her eye. "Well, we had best let you go back to set their minds at ease... and while you are there, you can let them know the good news about the... retreat that you've arranged for them."
Lynn laughed and grinned broadly at that. "I think they might suspect something is wrong if I go back like this," she said, smiling wryly at the tigress.
Caroline returned the grin, tapping the side of her nose lightly. "Oh, that won't be a problem at all. Changing appearances the way I did when I came to visit you yesterday is... as easy as cake. It's simply a matter of focus. Thankfully, when you change, you really do still feel like your true self."
Lynn looked very relieved at that, "Oh thank goodness... I'm not sure I would have been able to bear putting on the charade if I went back to feeling... so old again." She sighed and shook her head, "So, the door thing... is that just a matter of focus, too?"
"Exactly. The magic here is quite... intuitive. Mind you, there's an intelligence behind it, which I will explain more about later, but I can promise that it isn't some evil creature. Mercurial, perhaps, but not malicious. He just... really likes stories, and now... we've got an entire island of furs, creating their own stories constantly... and there are only going to be more and more stories to be had here as time goes on."
Lynn looked a little surprised at that but nodded her head. "Curious. I'll certainly want to learn more about it later, but... for the moment..." she said, turning her eyes down to look at Nicki. "Please stay with Caroline and her pets while I go help my other friends come here, too. They... they are really going to need it, themselves," she said with a laugh.
The snow bunny smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, Mistress," she said, kissing Lynn's leg as the hare stood up and stretched.
Right before their eyes, she changed back into the appearance of her elderly nun life. Amy and Justin were quite surprised that this was what she had looked like before coming here, but they didn't fuss. She turned to one side and opened a door into her office, grinning at Caroline one last time. "Wish me luck," she said in her old voice before she stepped through.
