Part One
Beverly Whalen walked up to the clinic door hesitated for a moment before entering. Dr. Harrah had been quite adamant about this place and its discretion when she gave her the referral, but the last thing she wanted was to be sitting in a waiting room full of year-old fishing and sports magazines, and the bald that would go with them. Heaving with a resigned sigh, she pulled the glass door open and stepped in.
The Fangor Clinic.
Beverly had the obvious thought about vampires, and smiled about as much as the little joke was original. *The Blood Bank opens at two AM...*
The interior was light coral and blue, with white walls. At least it wasn't dark and dingy. It also had one remarkable and pleasantly surprising feature. It was empty.
She walked up to the counter and waited for the receptionist to notice her.
"May I help you?" asked the girl, whose name was Amy, according to her nametag. The nametag was coral and blue, too.
*Coral and blue in a rainbow tattoo,* mused Beverly, as always, thinking of the next song.
"Yes, I was referred by Dr. Harrah's office," she answered, smiling. She tried bravely to hide her embarrassment, but her hands trembled as she signed in. "Beverly Whalen," she prompted.
"Oh, okay, I see it here. 10 o'clock," said the looking down the list in the calendar book. "Do you have an insurance card? I'll need to make a copy," said Amy, when Beverly looked up. She was pleasantly surprised not to get the usual gawking and stuttering request for an autograph.
"Sure... let me find it..." said Beverly as she began to rifle through her purse.
"And I have some forms for you to fill out, this being your first time and all," added Amy, placing a clipboard on the counter.
"Right. Always the way, isn't it," said Beverly in her most I'm-going-to-be-friendly-if-it-kills-me voice.
"Unfortunately, yes it is. Just bring it back when you're done, and someone will call you when the Dr. Fangor is ready for you," said the cheery girl.
Despite her cynical nature, Beverly found the genuine friendliness of the disarming and just the thing to make her feel a bit more at ease. She found a chair near the window and began filling out her personal information and medical history.
When she brought it back to the desk, Amy was busy on the phone. She looked at the sweet with envy. Dark brown curly hair, cut close but attractively... wide set, big hazel eyes that were incredibly striking against the hair... features and a slightly triangular face...
As she returned to her chair, Beverly felt a moment of regret and bitterness sweep through her. She had been beautiful herself, a year ago, although she hadn't ever thought of it that way, until... until she started losing her hair.
Her stylist had noticed it first, and asked what kind of shampoo she was using, and recommended a cleansing rinse.
She'd hardly given it a second thought, but by the time six months had rolled around she was getting worried. Her scalp was clearly visible through her hair no matter what she did. Going to Betsy Harrah, her doctor, she had tried all the latest treatments and techniques. She changed her diet, exercised, and in all respects improved herself... except that she kept losing more and more hair.
And now, after a year, it was so wispy that she generally wore a scarf or hat, and let the wisps imply the hair underneath. It wasn't such a bad look for her, but the tabloids already had her heroically battling cancer.
She'd never thought she was vain, but this was just... so *basic.*
It was killing her soul. It was also threatening to kill her career.
Dr. Harrah had finally had to admit defeat. She was getting nowhere, and Beverly was becoming dangerously despondent. The final result had been a long conversation, and this visit to a new specialist.
"Dr. Fangor has some methods that are unorthodox, but they work when many other things fail. In your case, with no condition or reason to have lost so much hair, I think it's certainly worth a consultation," Dr. Harrah had said. Beverly was at the breaking point, and ready to grasp at any glimmer of hope. It wasn't that she...
"Beverly Whalen."
The sound of her name jerked her out of her thoughts and she nodded, stood, and followed the nurse back to the examination rooms.
----
Weight, blood pressure, temperature. Standard operating procedure. However, the familiarity of the ritual helped make Beverly more comfortable with her surroundings -- she might as well have been coming in about a cold. Once the rites had been performed, the nurse left, and Beverly found herself doing what she always did: she studied the industrial artwork on the walls and sifted through the out- of-date magazines that had once been in the waiting room.
She had just settled into a chair beside the lavatory and started an article about the fall of dot-coms, when there was a knock on the door and Dr. Fangor entered.
Beverly put down her magazine and smiled. Doctor Fangor, far from being a vampire, was an attractive woman in her mid-forties. Her smile beckoned Beverly's in return, and she said, as if she needed to confirm it beyond the name embroidered on her lab coat, "Hello, Ms. Whalen. I'm Dr. Fangor. My friends call me Carmen, and I think we should be friends, so Carmen it is."
"Beverly," she answered, not sure of how to proceed. Regardless, she liked this doctor. Carmen exuded a kind of kindly, gentle warmth, and Beverly felt herself relax.
"I've been reading over the file sent from Dr. Harrah's office. This must be pretty tough on you."
"Well, it's certainly not my favorite lifetime achievement," joked Beverly. She winced as the grit in her voice strangled her attempt at being light. She could almost see the words writhing on the floor, pulled down by the weight of her depression.
Catching the not-so-subtle nuance, Carmen said softly, "It's really okay, Beverly. It's not so rare for women to lose hair as you might think. But culturally, it's like a death sentence, at least in the way we're brought up. 'A woman's hair is her glory.' It's built into every concept we know. It makes sense for you to be distraught. The question is really what you're willing to do about it."
Opening the chart, Carmen looked over several pages. "It looks like you've been through all the standard tests. You seem to be a good candidate for our procedure. Of course, we'd have to run several further tests to be sure, but there actually may be a solution for you." She looked at Beverly expectantly, in the standard "it's time for you to say something" way.
"At this point I'm almost willing to try anything. If you told me you were going to graft my pubic hair to my scalp, I'd probably go along." Beverly's eyes bugged out in embarrassment at the words that popped out of her mouth.
Carmen just smiled, taking it in stride and soothing the situation. "Well, I don't think it will come to that, but let me explain the procedure.
"Your follicles have, for all intents and purposes, died. Maybe they could have been saved, but probably not. It's unlikely that any treatment would have helped prevent your hair loss, not only based on the tests, but because you were given these treatments, and not one of them resulted in halting the ongoing loss of your hair.
"We do a specific kind of hair transplant. We don't use plugs... we use a bio-engineered follicle and hair that is self-sufficient. It isn't like it's a part of you, exactly, but exists in a symbiotic relationship, in the original placement of your original hair. You provide nutrients, at the low levels that killed your own hair follicles, but this follicle is extremely... efficient, for lack of a better word.
"The advantages are steady, predictable growth, increased hair strength, and... you never go gray. You can choose color, density and body, among other things. All in all, it's better than the hair you were born with. I don't mean to sound arrogant," concluded Carmen.
"And the drawbacks?" asked Beverly.
"In less than one-hundredth of one percent of patients, there is a risk of rejection or allergic reaction. That's why we run the compatibility tests. We don't want to go there, so we don't. Also, the mapping of your scalp for proper follicle placement is a tedious procedure in which you are awake, but cannot move. We actually have to immobilize your head. Honestly, it's not pleasant. But to me, it's worth twelve hours of discomfort for a lifetime of perfect, glorious hair."
"It sounds pretty amazing, doctor," said Beverly. "Do you have any pictures I can look at?"
"I can do better. Inspect my scalp. I had the procedure done a year ago. So did my receptionist, Amy."
"Really! Amazing... I noticed her hair when I came in," admitted Beverly. Then whispering slightly, "I notice everyone's hair these days... but I thought you..."
"Perform the procedure? I do set it up, with two assistants. But the actual implantation is done using a laser-guided inser... well, a very complex machine. All I do is prepare you and monitor the process to make sure it goes correctly."
Beverly nodded in understanding.
"Well, I can't make your decision for you. I can give you some information, and you can take it with you. Just call me and we can schedule you within a few days. The entire process takes a little over a month, between testing, mapping, insertion, recovery and observation. Just let me know."
Although she didn't make an appointment, Beverly's mind was made up before she left the office.
----
Beverly had the of all Migraines. When Dr. Fangor -- *Carmen* -- had said twelve hours of discomfort, it was quite the understatement. Twelve hours of hell had been more like it.
A steel ring had been clamped to her head, and the ring inserted into a clamp that held her head completely immobile. They had sedated her, but she'd been awake for most of it... the pain would not allow her to sleep.
And now, with the clamps removed, she had four huge circles and a pressure headache that made her previous migraines feel like minor nuisance in comparison. She was sick, miserable and wanted to die. Literally. Before her head exploded.
After another hour, and within a space of ten minutes, the headache lifted and nearly disappeared.
As if on cue, her agent, Randii, walked in. "Hey, kiddo. You looked like some creature from Planet X when they brought you in. That ring was totally *weird*. How you feelin'?"
"Like twice-baked shit potato pie," said Beverly, her voice hoarse and dry from the ordeal.
"The doctor wants you to stay overnight here. They have the facilities for it. I happen to agree... but I stopped by to tell you that if you need anything, anything at all, just call. I'll only charge half-price."
"Thanks, Randii. Don't worry. I don't *want* to move. Not for another few lifetimes, anyway. See you tomorrow?"
"Sure thing, kiddo." She gently squeezed her client's hand and smiled, and then left the room.
*Agents. Blech,* thought Beverly. She laughed a little, sure in the knowledge that when Randii had mentioned the price, she wasn't kidding. *What a favor.*
She stopped laughing abruptly as a twinge shot through her head. She didn't want the giggles to bring back the wall of pain she'd just escaped.
She wondered what kind of song this would make. Mmph. Song. *Oh, yeah... Coral and blue in a rainbow tattoo... Staining my heart with love...*
----
Carmen looked at the 3-D map of Beverly's scalp, plotting the primary insertion points with a light pen. Hundreds of tiny dots showed on the monitor, tracking her progress. She'd been working for hours.
Setting the light pen aside for a moment, she sighed, happily. *Tedious, but fruitful,* she said to herself. *I'll have to call Dr. Harrah and thank her for this one.*
She shifted in her chair, opening her legs a bit more for the kneeling, latex clad woman before her. "Mmmmm, Amy... you're getting to be *quite* the nasty improviser..."
She felt Amy's fervent response as the pace of her tireless tonguing increased, slathering her with more and more wetness and pleasure. So suggestible. So obedient. *So owned.* She ran her hands through her slave assistant's short, curly hair, sending waves of mind-melting pleasure into the slut's brain, opening her even more to the words of Mistress. *All sex is brain sex...*
"Ohhhh *my*... you are *so* lovely, my little Amy. I *love* the way that you take on any reality I give you. I think it's time for your next assignment...
"You live to eat my dripping cunt. To taste it. To pleasure... mmmm, *yes*... my snatch. Mistress's is your fucking *life*. What you were *born* to. You aren't human. You're a new species... *cunnilingus eternum*.
"There is no past. No future. Only Mistress's delicious cunt and its juices, and your purpose is to make it... *cum*.
"Oh, and my pretty tongue-puppy? Finger my ass... the way you *know* I love it..."
Carmen began moaning as the torrential pleasure began to spread outward from her and asshole and into her pelvis and belly... the heat making her jerk her neck involuntarily and the arches of her feet twitch. *So fucking good...fucking good... yes... licking... fucking...*
She reached over and pressed a key on the keyboard, beginning the simulation on the monitor.
A wave passed through her scalp and into the back of her neck as she watched the spots grow inward to the cerebral cortex of the 3-D image of Beverly Whalen, intersecting and spreading... captivating... *controlling*...
Her orgasm began to wash over her, not from her clit but from the surface of her scalp, through her vision, down her neck and spine and out through every muscle and bone of her body, the pleasure-blood soaking every molecule in overpowering lust, taking the flames higher and higher, until her entire body was joining in her screams of passion...
And then it broke over her, a rainbow of violent passion, showering over and through her, her head slamming against the chair as her slave went on, relentlessly driving her climax into the next moment, and the next, and the next...
The unearthly wail of her impassioned throat lit up the air around her and took her even deeper into desire, sending another thunderbolt of bliss coursing hotly through her oil-soaked naked body. Her nipples sent out streamers of molten fuckheat, like lava from a volcano's core, over her sensitive, ripened breasts. As she lost sight of reality, the room washed away in a burning ocean of flaming tongues and licks...
And in the moment that she came down from her summit, preparing to ascend again, she focused on the image of Amy, and then someone else: her next slave, her next lover, her next thrall... *Beverly... Beverly... Beverly... so sweet... trusting... so ready to be remade...*
----
Beverly woke up to the sun shining through her window and felt the smooth, oiled skin of her scalp. Running her hand over it, she noticed the sensuous feel that had come after the removal of her last remaining natural hair. Looking in the mirror, she thought that if she were a bit bolder, this might be a look for her... but it wasn't something she could just take on.
The circles left by the clamps were already fading. She looked less like some creature from a bad science fiction and more like herself, although the lack of hair gave her eyes a prominence they had not had before. *At least I'm not some lump-a-bump,* she thought. She had to find happy thoughts where she could.
Dr. Fangor knocked and came in. "And how's my most patient this morning?" she asked, smiling broadly.
"Ready to go on, I hope," replied Beverly. "The sooner the better."
"Good. I have some excellent news. Not only have we mapped your pores for re-insertion of the new follicles, but you are anything *but* allergic to the chemicals and the follicles themselves. It's almost like you were made for them, and them for you."
"Ooooo, sounds kinda creepy, Carmen," smiled Beverly.
"Not at all. It's just rare to find this strong a match. If you want, we can perform the procedure as soon as say... tomorrow."
"Great!" said Beverly, her eyes going wide with excitement. "What do we have to do?"
"Well, I have to tell you what to expect, and everything that can go wrong. There will be some initial discomfort, for about thirty days or so, as the follocles bond to their new home. They could be rejected, but the chance of that happening is very slim. So slim, in fact, that you shouldn't have to worry in the slightest. The worst thing will be the itch, during which time you may have to be restrained during sleep..."
Carmen went on and on, describing what was to come. As it went, Beverly found that she was more and more enthusiastic, even more than with her first hopes upon talking to Carmen. She didn't hear one thing that sounded like she should reconsider.
She also couldn't see under Carmen's lab coat, beneath her dress, to the dark stain slowly spreading outward from the doctor's crotch as she talked to and stared at the young, famous, and soon to be owned, singer.
Carmen was on the verge of orgasm without even trying.
*This is going to be simply divine,* she thought, as she watch Beverly's excitement grow... excitement that would soon be about much more than her brand new hair.

Part Two
*i.*
"You're sure about your choice, then?" asked Dr. Fangor, preparing the syringe that would begin the procedure to give Beverly her new hair. "Last chance."
"Absolutely. I like being blonde, but the added wave will be nice. I mean, as long as I have the chance to have what I always wanted, why not take it? Never mind that I sound like a blue-hair at the beauty salon," answered Beverly, rolling her eyes.
"Yes," answered Carmen, "but it's not really the same thing. This is about... well, your life, really. Besides, it will only be about an inch and a half long to begin with, so it will seem much curlier than what you are imagining, at least at first. You'll have to do the work of making it look the way you want."
"You mean I'll be kinky, Carmen?" Beverly shot back, laughing nervously. Carmen laughed with her as she swabbed Beverly's naked butt cheek with alcohol. "Well, that's certainly one way to put it.
"Just relax, now. I'm going to give you a shot of demerol and morphine. It's not enough to put you under, but you'll be pretty much out of it by the time you get to surgery. We don't want to put you completely out until we're ready to start."
Beverly winced slightly as the shot was delivered. "Amy will be here for you in about forty-five minutes," continued Carmen, as she placed the empty syringe in the "used sharps" container. "By that time, you'll likely be having a very good time. You won't have a worry in the world."
"Okay, Frau Fangor!" quipped Beverly.
"Now, now. I *know* you're not feeling it yet. I'll see you in a little bit. By the way, your agent came by to keep you company. Shall I send her in on my way out?"
"Please."
Randii peeked around the corner and then came in. "You look pretty alive this morning, Bev," she said. "Better than I feel. I'm not used to six a.m."
"Neither am I, Randii... just nervous. Even with the fancy machinery, it's supposed to take several hours."
They talked for awhile... the usual banter about what was happening at the studio, album design ideas and scheduling, and then sat in silence for a bit as the tension finally took its toll.
Randii was the one who finally broke it. "You want a prayer or anything?"
"No, of course not. If you want, you can light a..." Beverly felt a wave of... *something*... pass through her. "candle..."
Her head felt rubbery and loose and the clock on the wall *moved* a little. And then the moment was gone. But it left a trace of itself, making Beverly feel a little more distant and silly.
"Umm. First bit of the doping up is happening," said Beverly.
"You okay?"
"Fine." Beverly answered, a little giddy. She giggled. "Fiiiiine. So fine. Like vintage wine. I want some more, Randii, where do I sign? On the dotted line?"
"Hmm. Maybe I'll need to get some of that, girl."
"Oh, I'm not that kind," laughed Beverly, as a newer, stronger wave of bouncy, blissful euphoria swept through her. She shook her head to clear it a bit.
"Wow, Randii. Make a note. Never let Bev near narcotics. I think I like this *toooo* much," she sighed, giving up the fight as the room began to take on an even more rubbery, dream-like quality.
She looked again at the wavy numbers on the wall clock. Only twenty-five minutes had passed. She didn't care. This was too fucking *nice* to care.
Randii was saying something, but Beverly was having a hard time concentrating. The voice was echoing and watery, and so she smiled and said "yes," and "uh huh," when it seemed like she should, and sighed more as she moved further and further away from reality.
She barely even noticed as they put her on the gurney.
She looked at Amy, and made out the girl's words as they entered her ears, flowing slowly into her brain. "Ready for your new 'glory'?" said the smiling, cute, incredible... floating ... alluring... woman.
"Ready, Freddie, easy peasy," she slurred. She was still laughing at herself as Randii watched her leave the room.
Pulling her cell phone from her purse, the agent dialed a number and hit the "send" button. She waited, leaning against the wall, straightening only as the phone was answered. "Dr. Harrah? Randii Jenkins... yes, she's going in now.
"No, she's doing fine. Very happy, in fact.
"Of course. Oh, and Betsy, dear... *Carmen Lesbos Domina*."
Hesitating until she heard the proper response, she continued, "Mistress says to tell you She's *very* pleased."
Randii held the phone away from her ear and winced as cries of orgasmic ecstasy loudly sprang from the small speaker.
"Good girl. Now go. Obey. Serve. Mistress is life."
Randii closed the phone, smiled, and shivered as she ran her hand back through her long, hair. She didn't need to cum. Working the plan for Mistress was more than pleasure, and simple orgasm could no longer measure up. *At least, until Mistress says differently,* she reflected.
----
Beverly watched as the ceiling went by. She couldn't tell if it was the ceiling or a strange wall with lights in it... or if she was leaning or flat. She just let it happen.
She felt everything spin, and heard doors bump open as her head fell sideways. She was so happy. She looked at the funny woman in the black rubber top that was staring at her. Yes. Rubbery. *That's Nancy,* she thought.. She watched as the woman circled her black shiny nipple through the... the... whatever it was, and smiled. Nancy was so happy, too.
She had the funniest thought that nurses shouldn't be wearing black and looking so horny. She felt hands placing things on her chest, and heard the beeping of the heart- thingy, and looked up into lights. There was a woman in a mask. Carmen. The hair said so. *Said so. Said so.*
"Welcome to my parlor, Beverly," said the black-masked Vampire-Lady. "You'll be feeling very sleepy in just a second."
Beverly felt her head falling backward and managed to slur, "Oh, I see what you..."
"*Beverly.*"
"Beverly."
It slowly dawned on her that that voice meant *her*. She felt through her disorientation with her eyes closed and smelled the sanitary chemicals of... *what?*
She opened her eyes and the world spun. She started to sit up. She had to go to the bathroom.
There was something keeping her from moving. She watched the curiously slow realization of where she was break open. *Recovery.* The dull ache over her head enlightened her further and she smelled a light perfume drift through the odors of alcohol and industrial sanitizer. *Someone is holding me down...* she thought, as if it were a brilliant deduction.
"You need to lie still, Beverly," came the voice, speaking to her again.
*No,* thought Beverly, *what I need, is to pee.* But there was no moving, and she didn't have the strength or balance to assert herself. She relented and lay back, swallowing dryness.
"Beverly." The voice was more demanding now.
"Try not to move, sweetie. We're going to take you to your room now. Star treatment, and all that. You did fine. Your hair looks perfect. Do you need anything? Beverly. Do you need us to get you anything?"
Beverly tried to say, "A bathroom," but only managed a muffled sound that was more like a moan.
"Okay, hon. You'll probably fall asleep again, and when you wake up you'll be back in your own room. Just take it easy. Easy..."
The voice faded away as Beverly closed her eyes again.
The room was darkly lit when she opened them a moment later.
"Hello, sleepyhead," said Randii. "Five hours I've been waiting. You'd think I actually care what happens to you."
Beverly smiled, and Randii brought her a cup of water. Taking a drink, she finally felt something of humanity returning. *Water. Fuck anything else. Give me water and I promise I'll be good,* she said inwardly. "Thanks, Randii." She gave her agent a weak smile.
"The procedure lasted over six hours, and they're telling me I can't stay so that you can recoup. I'd hang around in defiance anyway, except they seem to be taking very good care of you. Better than I could."
"It's fine, Randii. I won't be much company tonight, I don't think." Beverly took another, longer drink of water.
"I thought I'd mention that Drew asked after you. Sends his thoughts for a speedy recovery. He says he still misses you."
"Oh, God. Look, it just didn't work. I wish you could see my side of things." *Great, talk to me while I'm down, why dontcha??* she silently added.
"I do see your side, Bev. He's seeing someone, anyway. He asked me not to tell you, the creep. I promised I wouldn't... I'm sorry. This is a bad time. Forgive me?"
"Don't be silly -- nothing to forgive. He's a free agent and so am I, and so is she, I'd guess. He has my blessing, silly as it is... as if he needed it," said Beverly, smiling. Inside, though, it still stung. In fact, it stung to a surprising depth.
She realized suddenly that she had liked Drew's unrequited love for her. *Well, chalk it up to another painful neurosis,* she mused, wincing.
Impulsively, Randii leaned over and kissed Beverly on the forehead. It was a friendly gesture, but it sent a confusing shiver of arousal through Beverly. "I'll tell the creep. Get well, Beverly. I've got the studio booked and we need you back there," joked Randii. "You know..."
"Yeah, I know. If I need anything, you'll only charge half price."
"No... you've moved up to free status. See you around, kiddo."
She watched as Randii left the room and the door closed.
*Now what the fuck is that all about?* she thought, feeling the tingles of pleasure still bouncing around inside her, mixing strangely with the thought of really, truly losing Drew, almost making her like the idea. Before she could think more about it, a wave of dizzy sleepiness washed over her. *Must be the frigging anesthetic,* she thought briefly, before falling into a deep, undisturbed sleep.
----
"Wake up, sleepyhead!" Carmen was smiling at the side of the bed. "No rest for the wicked! It's time to begin your follicle activation. Have some breakfast, and then Amy will wheel you down to the examination room, okay?
"And I guess it's about time you saw the damage." Carmen reached into her lab coat and pulled out a small hand mirror. "Would you like me to stay or go while you take a look?"
"If it's okay, I think I'd like to be alone, Carmen."
"You bet. Just call for me if you need me. I'll be close by for a few more minutes."
Beverly sat, her eyes closed in anticipation and fear, gathering her nerve so that she could sate her curiosity. Steeling herself as best she could, she opened her eyes and picked up the hand mirror that Carmen had left.
A sob escaped her as she looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her. It had only been a year, but her mental picture of herself had gradually changed and there was no getting around the shock of seeing herself look her age again.
Curly and short, her new hair covered her head in an unruly mess. She had forgotten how delightful it was, and she felt like a child, wanting to play with it, bunch it, stroke it, brush it... it captivated her.
The feelings rushed into her faster than she could process them, and she cried, both for joy, and in the release of the depression that was so much a part of her that she hadn't even known it was there.
It was one of the more joyous moments in her recent life.
It was time for breakfast.
----
*ii.*
"Welcome," said Carmen. "This is what we call our 'Frankenstein's Lab'. It's where was do the *real* magic of getting your new hair to grow. Whenever you're ready, climb up into the chair. Take all the time you need."
Beverly looked at the chair as she stepped forward. It was like a dentist's chair, with a quilted leather seat and arm rests, but the headrest had two arching, roundish half-inch glassy tubes, like "antennae" that reached up and forward from behind. Once she sat down, it all made a bit more sense. The "antennae" hinged forward so that they arched over her head and ended just below her eyes. One sat about three inches away from her head, the other a little farther out.
"As I explained before, the hair we've implanted is mostly dormant. The follicles haven't really begun to do their work, so at this point, you could say we've given you little more than an expensive wig," explained Carmen, as she positioned Beverly's head and set several armatures to hold it immobile.
"What we're doing now is bringing them 'to life', if you want to think of it that way. We use electromagnetic fields and a slight irradiation to accelerate that process. You may find that your thoughts are hard to collect, or you may become disoriented, even profoundly so. It's generally not been uncomfortable for anyone, just mildly amusing, or confusing, and it will pass fairly soon after we finish the procedure.
"But after, as the follicles begin to bond as living tissue, you'll experience anything from tingling to a fairly intense itch over the next few weeks. It will peak in just a day, maybe two, but it's probably the most unfortunate part of the process. By the second or third day, it will be easily manageable. We, of course, will do anything we can to make that process more comfortable.
"I know I've told you all this before, but reminding does seem to help. Are you ready, Beverly?"
Beverly took a deep breath and blew it out. "As I'll ever be," she answered. She gripped the armrests involuntarily as a nervous shiver of trepidation passed through her.
"Just relax. Whatever you think or feel, it won't at all," assured Carmen, as she walked behind a windowed, protective wall and turned the lights down.
Beverly tensed a bit more as she felt and heard the hum of the large machines. The little antennae began to slowly move back and forth over her head, crossing in the middle and arcing sideways down nearly to her shoulders.
They began to glow brightly underneath with a kind of blueish tinged light, and the effect reminded her of windshield wipers moving back and forth through her field of vision, smearing blue across it. "How *odd*," she commented.
"That's the EM effect," said Carmen, knowing exactly what the singer was experiencing.
"You mean it's not just bright lights in the dark?"
"No, and it will become more pronounced. Just do your best to hold still."
As if the words had caused it, Beverly saw that the blue "after image" was taking longer and longer to dissipate, as if it were painting translucent watercolor over her vision. The door and other equipment in the room were beginning to look like they had been fingerpainted onto a powder-blue sheet of paper. She realized she was losing her depth perception.
"You're sure this isn't permanent aren't you, Carmen?" Someone was mumbling nonsense. She realized with a vague shock that it was her own voice.
"I'm really afraid I'll have to ask you not to talk, Beverly. Your speech centers are being affected, and logic, too. You might as well relax and enjoy the ride. Don't worry, the effect will fade when we're done, after a time," Carmen reassured.
*After time-a-time-a-time-time-time. Great. Relaxo boraxo.* Beverly watched as her thoughts flew out of her brain and into the pit of her stomach. She felt very full, suddenly. She would have worried about the weirdness of it, except her cognizance was fast becoming more like a distant dream she was watching. She realized with fading awareness the she was totally out of it, and going farther.
Carmen was speaking to her, but she couldn't understand the bluedoctor's bluevoice. She was only... *Blue. Blue my love is blue bayou true blue blue is the color of my true love's hair kablooie ballouuuuu ballouuuuu my bluetiful balloooooon...*
Beverly arched in unexpected pleasure and induced orgasm, her eyes wide and insanely dilated, as the stimulated hair asserted itself, tendrils reaching through the nearly microscopic holes that had been carefully laser drilled through her skull during the surgery. They weren't necessary... but combined with the EM radiation, they took what was nearly a year-long process down to a matter of a few short hours.
Carmen, as always, was quite taken by the slack-jawed, blank face and eyes contrasted against the contorting body of her subject.
She smiled and spoke calm affirmations to the convulsing woman, her covered in a sheen of aroused dew as the monitor before her showed spots of red, slowly swelling and intersecting through the beautiful singers' brain. The changes would seal in, and the mind would adjust within a few days, and Beverly would feel normal again.
It just so happened that what normal *was* would be changed. Very much so. Permanently.
*Seeing it happening is always so much better,* thought Carmen, as she dipped her finger to her wetness and brought the glistening finger up to touch the tip of her pointed tongue.
She shook her head and let the pleasure wash through her... again.
A green light came on beside the monitor. Carmen smiled and leaned over to a microphone, and began to speak the mantra she had long since memorized. Her voice gently flowed from speakers in the structure of the activation chair.
"*My name is Beverly Nicole Whalen. I am twenty-six years old. I work as a singer and songwriter. I am the sole property of Doctor Carmen Agnes Fangor. I am whoever and whatever pleases Her. It is completely natural. It is completely normal. It has always been. Any inconsistencies are simply my inability to remember the true past. It is so simple. I think of Her and know Her and address Her only as Mistress. Her name is holier than I am worthy to speak, without Her permission. Her Life is my life. Her Will is my will. Her Desire is my desire. Her Voice is my guide. Her Pleasure is my highest purpose... Her softest Whisper, my obsession...*"
Beverly only arched her back further and moaned loudly.

*iii.*
"*Hi, this is Randii Jenkins' voice, speaking to you from Messageland, where all good things come to those who leave their name and number at the sound of the A flat.*"
Beverly waited for the beep.
"Randii, where the crap are you? How come you're not returning my calls? I'm still at the Clinic, but will be leaving in a week or so, as soon as... it's okay. I need to talk to you, okay? Thanks. Now *call*, dammit!"
Beverly resisted scratching her head. The itch had pretty much died down, but until today they'd had to keep her restrained from time to time, and constantly sedated. The restraints were for "automatic scratching" in her sleep, and the sedation was to keep the itching from driving her crazy.
But that wasn't the part that worried her.
It was what happened when she would sneak a scratch during the day when no one was looking. At first she thought she must be imagining it, but there was no doubt about it now. The movement of her hair felt like someone was licking her pussy with a vibrating tongue. That was distracting enough, but...
It was also the most intense, pure pleasure she'd ever known.
Unbelievably strong. It was like the difference between a used bicycle and a Rolls Royce. She could feel her clit pulsing inside every molecule of her body... and she was finding that she was getting addicted to it.
She would have mentioned it, except she was afraid if she did, it would get fixed. And that, she decided very quickly, would be a shame. She could just wait a little longer until it got to be a nuisance. Then she would tell them about it.
Tell Mistress about cumming in bed every night just by rubbing her head on her pillow. *Mistress.* The name had come up as a funny joke when they restrained her hands, but now, she was finding she liked it. It just seemed to fit the brilliant woman so well. In fact, she never even thought of her as Carmen anymore. She shook her head and felt a ripple of mind-burning lust move through her. *Mistress.*
That was another weird thing. She kept thinking about Mistress, about Amy, about Randii and even Betsy, her personal physician. It seemed like thinking about them made the hair thing even *stronger.* And the new, foreign passions only excited her more.
She would have to tell someone soon.
But not quite yet. Tomorrow maybe. Or maybe next week.
She smiled, thinking about it, rubbing her hair on her pillow again. *Maybe not at all...*

Amy smiled happily as she pushed Beverly down the hallway to the door that led to the courtyard. A wheelchair wasn't necessary, but it was a nice touch, and a wonderful gift for her charge who had done so well and would be leaving soon.
The door opened and the wind blew through Beverly's growing hair. Amy smiled softly as she heard the heated moan escape the woman's lips, unable to stop the seductive sensation. She had worked very hard to pretend she didn't see what was happening to Beverly over the last two weeks, and she was glad that time was coming to an end.
"Are you okay, Beverly?" she asked, concern coating her voice.
"Ummm yeah... ungh... yeah..." stammered Beverly, obviously aroused beyond her ability to hide it.
Amy reached forward and ran the fingers of one hand back through Beverly's hair. She nearly came herself as the woman's back arched and her passion screamed out in a wordless spasm of impassioned pleasure.
"Mmm, Beverly, it's even more amazing when someone else touches it... just like sex... only better... isn't it."
"God yessssss..." moaned Beverly, her mind shocked blindly into soul-consuming passion by the blast of heat and pleasure that tore through her body in a hurricane of voracious lust.
"This is how you always dreamed it would be. *Isn't it.*"
Beverly stiffened as the conflict rose in her. She was aroused beyond anything she'd ever felt... it was craving like a junkie for heroin... or more... but she knew she'd never wanted... a woman... she'd always wanted the... other sex... other... *what is it called? I've always wanted... oh yes... a WOMAN... not a... uh... oh, fuck...*
She felt the connections in her mind snapping loose, one after the other, as the dominoes fell and laid her mind open, a gorge to be shaped by the waters of... *Mistress... yessss... that's it... Mistress...*
Amy watched Beverly fight. She was honored by such a noble effort, even though it was in vain. The young, mindfucked nurse couldn't help writhing in her clothes herself, knowing the inevitable outcome. This was Mistress's particular delicious torture, this riding of the conflict, like a rogue lover, making even the grinding confusion an instrument of even greater surrender and pleasure.
Finally, Amy stepped in front of Beverly, knelt and held the drooling woman's face in her hands, and looked into the wild, desperate eyes that were, now, so much like her own. "Shhhh Beverly. Obey. Shhhh. Look at me. Look at my eyes. Amy will help. Amy will make it better for you. *Obey*."
Beverly slowly stopped struggling, and stared into the soft eyes of the nymphet kneeling before her. Her wide, dilated eyes were still like that of a wild animal, a look of fear and heated arousal mixing in front of a delicious backdrop of ultimate surrender.
"*Pluribus Lesbos Eternum*, Beverly."
"*Amor Lesbos*," came her whispered response, her face transfigured into elegant, glowing passion, her lips wet with aroused moisture.
Amy watched as Beverly shuddered, and then became still. Sure that the artist would be quiet now, she walked to the intercom beside the door.
She looked upon Beverly lovingly, licking her lips in hot, irristible desire before touching the call button. "Mistress?"
"Yes, sweetcunt?"
"The new slut has awakened."
"Very good. Bring her to Me. I have some new and wonderful things to tell her. And you both have wonderful tales to tell Me with your... *obedient*... tongues."
Amy worked to keep her knees from buckling and her voice from crying out as Mistress's pleasure swept through her, more powerful than even the follicles could provide. It lasted only seconds, but an eternity in Amy's mind.
"Yes, Mistress. sweetcunt obeys."
"And think of a true-name for our new beauty, on your way here."
"Thank You for the honor Mistress! I already have..."
"And it is...?"
"yonigirl."
"Very good, precious one. yonigirl will do nicely."
Walking back to the now catatonic Beverly, Amy said casually, "I know what's happening to you, Beverly. I wish more than anything I could go through it all over again... feeling the realizations unfold, destiny come alive, all of the Will of Mistress suddenly springing into my mind and wiping away the old, useless, *evil* thoughts and beliefs. Purge, my love, purge and be reborn, as we all have been... all will be... within the Perfect Mind of Mistress."
Inside the shell of her body, her flesh container, Beverly was driving herself more into insane, orgasmic, obsessed devotion with every accepted command, and screaming in bottomless anguish with every struggle to retain her past beliefs... a hundred years of instant torture turning her mind into putty, clay to be molded by Mistress, Mistress and Her Touch upon Beverly's hair... bringing her back to the pleasure again... to accept... knowing, perfectly, that there was no other road to travel.
This was her life. This was her Way.
She, Beverly Nicole Whalen, belonged to... and *would* belong to... *Mistress.*
*Forever.*
