“A brief warning. You cannot under any circumstances break character during this part of the training without my permission. Doing so will result in a punishment,” Crystal instructed as she undid the restraints and lifted Carley out of the car seat. Unlike the playful voice she was using earlier, she sounded serious this time.
“What if I need to know something or tell you how I’m feeling?” Carley asked.
“A real captured Little wouldn’t be allowed to do that. They’d just have to learn to play along with their caregivers until their conditioning was advanced enough that their requests and concerns passed for those of a small child,” Crystal explained.
“But…” Carley said.
“Uh-uh,” Crystal said as she put her finger to Carley’s mouth. “Do you want a spanking? Because I don’t mind giving one to you.” Carley shook her head. “Good, then, let’s stop pretending to be a grown-up.” Crystal took her finger away.
