Chapter 4: Trust Your Instincts

Those hypnosis files just seem to become more and more effective with each listen. After falling asleep to that new one from the mysterious email, I woke up feeling like a brand new person! It was amazing and I felt so relaxed that I took a while to turn off my morning alarm. As I tried to get up while laying in bed, I reminded myself that today I've got class around mid-morning, and I've finished the homework so I've got nothing to worry about! I just gotta get up though...

My second alarm rang, I set it 15 minutes after the first one as a backup, I turned that off and got out of bed finally. Though as I took a few steps towards the door, I saw that my desk chair wasn't pushed in all the way. I usually always push chairs in, close containers, and lock doors, with the exception of leaving my bedroom door unlocked. I'm just the type of person who keeps track of things and will always notice when something's off...

I knew that last night I fell asleep to that hypnosis file from the mysterious email sender. But now I remember that I forgot to lay in bed and I fell asleep at my desk! I don't recall getting up and tucking myself in bed during or after the file, and my parents couldn't have done it without waking me, in fact they'd just ask why I'm listening to hypnosis in the first place...

I'm glad to be alive and still here in my room, but how? Did someone actually come in here and move me to the bed?!… Either I can't trust my memory during trance, or the file instructed me to lay down? Regardless, I'm absolutely certain that I did not get up from that chair on my own. There's too much unexplained details surrounding this predicament, but I won't be late for class, so I didn't spend any longer theorizing. I really needed to clear my head so I didn't eat at home, I just went to a fast food restaurant to get something quickly.

As I waited in line, I stared at the menu, trying to make a quick decision. I could get my usual, or try something different. My curiosity of how I fell asleep on the chair but woke in the bed still lingered. And I was snapped out of it by the lady asking me what I wanted to order, it was too late to make any new decisions so I went with my usual.

I waited on the side with my receipt, as they were working on other customer's orders. Someone opened the door and I turned around to see who it was. It was a rather tall man with hair that was spiked up into a point, wearing a black suit and tie. He walked straight towards the pickup area right next to me, and he called a number to one of the employees. Must've been a pickup order that he placed ahead of time. The employee went to get the food, and I noticed the man pulled out a silver pocket watch from his suit pocket to check the time.

That pocket watch was very beautiful, made of what appears to be real silver and the light gently sparkled off it's surface. The chain attached to it swung from side to side and it slowly stopped moving. I didn't even realize how long I was staring at it, until the man seemed to notice and then he smiled at me…

The employee brought him his order and he grabbed it, thanking the employee. Then put his silver pocket watch back into his pocket, then walked out.

Upon seeing the pocket watch I subtly remembered that hypnotists swing pocket watches to trance their subjects, often depicted in suits as well... There weren't any hypnosis shows in town that I knew of, and the odds of him actually being one are slim. Less likely would he be affiliated with the hypnosis I found, that stuff's probably somewhere else entirely...

My order was now ready and I began eating on a table near the window, I usually sit near windows to observe who walks in and out. I noticed something new on the lamp poles, it was a poster for a concert for a musician with the name "Meister Jake". In the back of my mind it had a striking resemblance to the guy named "Master Jay" that Rex told me about. Though as similar as it sounds, it's obviously a different person…

After I finished, I headed off to college for my mid-morning class. The campus was a nice place, generally safe too. If an incident occurs, they notify everyone with a description of the event. So this is a place where I can let my guard down a little more and stop worrying about everything else. My class went well, luckily there weren't any assignments for today, so it gave me more free time to spend on whatever I wanted! After I left, I decided to walk around town for a bit.

Little did I know, there was some Medieval Costume Event going on, some games and lots of people in costumes walking all over the area. Having nothing else to do I went over to check it out. And I came across this group of people, they seemed friendly. There was one guy and three girls, he had curly brown hair and some chin stubble, and the girls had blonde, brunette, and black hair. The blonde girl went up to me.

"Hey you look like you're new to the Medieval Fest! We just dress up and pretend it's the Middle Ages, haha I'm the Phoenix of the Mountain!" She said cheerfully.

The guy began to speak as well. "And I'm the Great Man of Mystery! I like Pokemon and stuff, how about you?"

"Ahah yeah I got a few pokemon games!..." I replied.

"I'm a real demon." The girl with long, straight black hair said plainly.

"Haha, good one!" I said, making finger guns.

"That wasn't a joke." She replied.

It sounded like she was telling the truth. "O-oh?.. Sorry…?" I didn't know what else to say.

After a short moment of silence, the blonde girl in the phoenix costume invited me to hang with them for a while. So I did, we went to the booths and there were a few games we played together. I just met these people but we got along as if we were already close friends. Eventually we all went to a donut shop and got a dozen crullers to share together.

"Hehehe you beat that water balloon game like a champ, dude!" Said the blonde girl.

"Well I'm not the Great Man of Mystery for nothing!" He replied.

The three of them were chatting together while the black haired girl didn't say much. I engaged in their conversations, but I couldn't stop looking at the spiral shape of the donuts. It was obvious I couldn't get hypnosis off my mind. I sat there deep in thought until the brunette asked if something was wrong, to which I said nothing.

These people offered to exchange numbers with me so we could continue hanging out, and of course I did. It was really fun and I'd enjoy seeing them again. So we got each other's contacts, texted to make sure the numbers were correct, then we all split. I went back home, the sky wasn't dark yet, but it would be in a few hours. Since I had no homework I hopped onto the computer and decided to ask Rex about the hypnosis files, and even about the email.

"Yo Rex, I kinda downloaded some free hypnosis and got an email with a link for another that I also downloaded. What do you think about this situation?…" I typed and sent in the chat.

Rex replied after a few minutes "Free Hypnosis?... Do you know the person's name?"

"I don't know, there's no name anywhere but there's an email address..." I continued to explain more of the situation on and on. After a minute of the chat bubbles going on and off, Rex sent a reply.

"Ohhh, yeah I think you're fine. Just sounds like an honest email from the creator saying thank you, but yeah that's a weird way to go about it..."

Having Rex's opinion of the matter helped calm me, I guess it's nothing to worry about and the coincidences didn't mean anything. We ended our conversation and I decided that I'd download another free hypnosis recording. It hasn't done any harm yet so why should I worry when the person said them self that they appreciate it?

As I was scrolling down the long list, I saw one that intrigued me. It was an erotic hypnosis file, but since I didn't know anything about it, I looked it up first. The internet said it can help you achieve the most intense orgasms of your life and it can be better than the real thing. I decided that I'd try it out, besides, what've I got to lose? I began the download.

I clicked play and went to lie down on my bed this time, and I wanted to be as relaxed as possible for this in particular. It started out with that same voice and the induction dropped me just as easily as the last time. The voice began whispering suggestions of pleasure and his snaps instigated the strongest sensations I've ever felt in my life, it all kept building and building to no end. I know the recording was about 30 minutes long but it's easy to lose track of time during a file. He finally began a countdown that would lead to orgasm after I've been waiting and waiting for it.

I tried to keep my voice down but any attempt to resist just plunged me deeper. I couldn't even remember if my parents were home or not, hopefully they'd be asleep by now. Hell, I couldn't even recall if I had closed my door and windows, but I honestly didn't care. Everything about it felt so good that even if I had to explain myself later it'd still be worth that brief moment of embarrassment.

Once it finished, I was numb with pleasure and I loved it more than anything else in the world. His tone softened and started drifting me off to sleep. Counting down again from 10 to 1, and I couldn't remember anything else after that. I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of having my thoughts completely gone and I just couldn't get enough of it. I fell asleep.
