Re: The Revolution
Chapter 4: Rewired
I heard a faint voice. I couldn’t understand it, nor could I recognize it. I felt a gentle touch on the back of my head. Someone was stroking my head. My mind immediately went to my mother being the cause of this action and the source of the voice. I remembered when I was in grade school, I wanted to stay up at night and watch just a little bit more T.V. My mother was against it but granted me the privilege that one night. When I began to feel tired, sitting on that couch in front of the flashing box, I rested my head onto her lap and she would rub my head so gracefully. It made me want to go to sleep, and would have even if I wasn’t tired, just because I knew I would have the most pleasant dreams ever.
“Mmm……Mommy?” I asked, opening my eyes and blinking a few times to clear my view. A faint giggle was let loose, along with an awakening comment.
“I’m sorry to say no, Terri.” I knew that voice. And I remember not knowing who it was earlier. I’ve already played this round of “Match that voice.”
“C-Cynthia?” I asked. I saw a figure in front of me. Its arm was reaching towards me and moving at the same rhythmic pattern as the feeling of the strokes. It was her. I could barely keep my eyes open for more than three seconds. I didn’t know what she did to me, but I wasn’t completely in the most stable state of mind.
“You’re awake. Good. I was getting a little worried. How do you like your seat?”
“My… seat?” What did she mean? It took Cynthia asking me that question for me to realize I was in a chair, and tied up to it in fact. But that’s not what she meant by “seat”. My legs were bare, I could feel it, and my shoes were off. I shifted my waist around to hear a crisp noise, similar to that of foil but much more gentle, both on the ears and the skin. I looked down at my waist to see a white, cushioned garment hugging my body down below. It was all white as snow, except for the rainbow that took up most of the front. It could have also had one on the rear, but I couldn’t see. Hell, there could have been a duck playing a guitar on the back for all I know. The sight of this thing on me snapped me out of my daze more than a gallon of espresso ever would have. “WHAT?! What is this!? Let me go, now!” I struggled as best I could, trying to wiggle my hands behind my back, and my legs tied to the front chair legs through any loose end there could be. When I discovered my limbs were secure, I tried to hop around in my chair. I succeeded in doing so, but there wasn’t much of any sort of result from it. And I knew that fact, I was just too enraged and embarrassed to admit it.
I hopped around in my chair explosively, knocking over several things in doing so. I ended up hopping backwards and leaning my chair back on two of its four legs. I would’ve fallen down on my back if Cynthia hadn’t grabbed the chair by one of the front legs and pulled it down to the ground.
“Calm down. I just want to help.” She began to stroke my head once again and look down at me with a calming smile. I felt oddly at peace. I shook my head to get her hand off and glared at her as hard as I could, not wanting to reveal anything close to enjoyment from her actions.
“Yeah, you said the same thing for stabbing me in the back! Where the hell am I? Why am I tied up? And why the holy mother of god am I in this thing!?” I asked her every question I cared about, staring directly at her and nowhere else in the whole, cramped room. She kept that little smile going, and just looked back as though she wasn’t worried. It was as if she thought she had everything under control, and didn’t even consider the possibility of me calling the cops when this was over.
“It’s okay. You’re in an empty closet. It’s the closet that used to store all the janitor’s supplies, we never left the school.” Despite my barking eyes and obvious mood, Cynthia tried again and again to try and stroke my head. But after two or three of her hand’s repeated journey down my head, I usually shook my head around to get it off, only delaying its continuation. “You’re tied up because you’d probably run away, but I can’t let that happen.”
“Well of course I’d run away! This is insane!”
“If a puppy could talk, it would say the same thing when it gets taken to the vet.” She replied with that same motherly smile. At that time, I really wished her facial expression changed. I would have preferred an angry face at some point. “And you’re wearing this…” She stopped mid-sentence to walk behind me and wrap her arms around me from behind. Her embrace felt so warm and pleasant. Like it was where I was meant to be. I didn’t struggle at all. I felt I should have, but I didn’t see any proper reason to. “….because how do you know whether or not you like it until you try?” She said that in a more direct tone of voice instead of a questioning one. She sounded like my mother when I refused to eat my broccoli.
Cynthia pressed something into my mouth while I was distracted by her words. A little plastic topper piece to a sippie cup. She pressed her hand under my chin to lift up my head at her preferred angle, while holding the cup up to pour a river of warm milk into my mouth. It tasted good, I won’t lie, but I didn’t want to be anymore humiliated than I already was, so I used my tongue to block the opening of the mouth piece. “You were right when you spoke up in class after Mr. Henn’s announcement. It didn’t make sense. None of this makes any sense if you think about it. Diapers wouldn’t improve anything academic directly. And having no distractions from needing to go to the bathroom would only be replaced with the distractions of what you’re feeling downstairs when you do go. I’m surprised that you were the only one to be outraged by this lack of reason to stand up and shout. Really I am. I heard and witnessed several other people mentioning similar things. But you were the only threat to all this.” She kept holding up the cup and my head, so I couldn’t speak. Cynthia must have noticed the milk’s level wasn’t dropping, because she pulled out the cup piece from my lips and unscrewed the entire top off.
“But why would-” was all I said before she took hold of my jaw and gently poured the milk into my mouth. I kept myself from drinking it by using my tongue and blocking my throat hole. But the milk kept rising and rising in my mouth. I knew I couldn’t hold it back forever.
“Why would the school’s teachers vote to enforce the policy? Why would the principal propose this change? Why would the school board allow this? Whatever questions you have, I’m sure I’ll answer them.” My mouth was filled, and she kept tilting that cup. The only way to not drink would to close my throat hole, but I had to breathe. If Cynthia had stopped there, I could’ve just held it in my mouth and breathed through my nose. But she kept adding more, and so bit by bit I began to drink. It tasted so sweet, like it wasn’t just normal warm milk. She must’ve made it special.
“The teachers didn’t enforce the policy. Only one teacher voted for it, and the rest were against it. But Mr. Henn and I counted a prepared ballot box with just enough Yes’s and No’s in it to allow the change while appearing like a good amount of the teachers didn’t want to.” Cynthia tilted the cup a great amount, pouring what was rest in the cup in me. I didn’t have to drink it anymore….but I did. I gulped down the delicious substance was more than ready to accept more. I was hoping she had more. “The principle proposed this change in the school’s dress-code, because our community was too small.” I wasn’t sure what she meant by that. Our town seemed large enough, even for a small one. Cynthia set the cup down on the floor and walked in front of me. Just as I suspected, that smile was still there. “I don’t mean “community” like houses, and schools, and neighbors. I mean a community of US.” Cynthia took hold of her jeans, unbuttoned the top and pulled them down. She was wearing a diaper too. The same kind she put on me, all white with a rainbow on the front. Her pants had dropped to the ground, and once she stepped out of the little puddle of cloth, she sat on my. Why she did so, I’m still not sure.
“In such a small town, it can get lonely being the only one with this interest. I know that once some people try one of these on, they’ll like it. When I found out Principal Henn wore adult diapers due to a bladder problem, I told him a made up story about how I have to wear them too because I don’t have any other choice, and that I come to school and go through life so embarrassed that I don’t know what I’d do if anyone found out I wore them.” Cynthia again began to stroke my head. I didn’t fight it this time though. I wanted to…. But I felt a little bit light-headed, and so I didn’t feel comfortable shaking my head around. It wasn’t the worse thing to feel. And she wasn’t hurting me. “He bought it pretty easily. And wearing them himself, he suddenly felt more embarrassed than usual. When the time was right, I told him about a little plan to make it so we weren’t the minority at this school or in this town. You were right; diapers won’t help any students here. But they won’t hurt any students either. And with diapers being mandatory, no one would be made fun of for them since everyone would wear them. Because, as I hope you know, anyone who violates the school dress-code is suspended.” Something didn’t feel right. I felt so at ease and satisfied. A little too much, actually. “And the School Board? Same reason they’d allow anything: bribery or blackmail. My plan is perfect, Terri. Everyone wins. Principal Henn feels secure, the grades and scores of the school’s students will be about the same, and I’ll get some new friends. There’s bound to be some people my age who would like these too…… Take you for example. Doesn’t this feel soft?” Cynthia pressed a hand down on the rainbow that was bonded to me. The cushioning feel felt so wonderful. My waist felt so enwrapped and my skin so pampered. I couldn’t help but let out a faint gasp of air when a wave of warmth engulfed my lower region. My face felt warm as well, once I realized what I was doing. “See? You’re smiling. And don’t think I can’t feel what you’re doing.” She said in a slightly smug, but still concerning tone. “I guess my special milk relaxed you quite a bit, huh?”
Cynthia’s hand, pushing against the fading rainbow pressed the liquid warmth against my skin. I had no choice but to feel this experience of comforting confinement to the fullest.
“Shut up…” I said as loudly as I could, which was nowhere close to my normal level of volume. Cynthia took her hand away and leaned in close. With her head hovering right next to mine, I thought this was another hug. But as I felt my wrists behind my back loosen, I realized she was letting me go. “Huh?…. What are you-”
“I only wanted you to try it. And now we know.” She got off my lap and untied my ankles. She even let out a hand to help me up. Cynthia may just be the nicest kidnapper in history. I took her hand and pulled myself up, almost falling back down immediately. “Whoa, take it easy. Your body is still a little loosey goosey.” She giggled after commenting about my body’s current state. “Hey… do you remember how I said this used to be a janitor’s closet? It’s not anymore because this room is going to be one of the storage rooms for the “Education-Enhancing-Pads”. I have one here. You can wear it if you want. If you don’t then I’ll give you back your underwear along with your pants. They’re both right outside this door.” Cynthia held up a plain, blue disposable diaper and handed it to me. The sound of the school’s bell going off was the first thing I hear once the pad was in my hand. Cynthia took hold of my shoulders and looked up at me. I didn’t realize until then that she was half a foot shorter than me. “Third period is about to start. You should change yourself before going to class. And don’t worry; I made sure you were excused for your first and second classes.”
Cynthia put on her pants and opened the door, letting in some light to the shadowy little space. She then used her foot to push in my pants and my panties. I remember when I put those on. They were my favorite pair, with those little cartoon storm clouds with cute, pouty faces on them.
“Wait a minute… so you…. Undressed me!? To the bare skin!?” Cynthia giggled awkwardly at my sudden realization.
“I’m sorry, about all of this really. But this was something I felt I had to do.” I should have slapped her across the face. I should have called the police and had her hauled off. But I didn’t do any of that.
“Just get out of here you pervert!” I screamed and pointed out the door. I felt that warm sensation over my face again as I glared once again at the strange girl. Looking at Cynthia, I saw her as a tiny bit upset. She didn’t have that smile that I assumed was everlasting. I looked down at the clean diaper in my hand and back up at what I could of her as the door began to close. “Wait…” She stopped and turned around, widening my view of her by opening the door. “Do you…… have anymore with rainbows on them?” I hated asking that. But I honestly wanted to know. Plus, seeing that annoying smile on Cynthia’s face come back sort of made it worth it, I guess.
“Oh, yeah. I do.” She reached for her backpack that was out of my view and pulled out a folded diaper with that happy rainbow on it. I took it gratefully.
“Thank you…. Don’t forget your cup.” Cynthia looked at me like she was confused, but then realized what I meant and reached down to pick up her pieces of plastic.
“I’ll talk to you later. Hurry up now, we have some work to do when you’re ready.” She left with that comforting smile on her face, and closed the door. Once she was gone, I sat down on the chair with a squish. I looked down at the happy rainbow and grinned, actually looking forward to the rest of the school year for the first time in my life.
