Innocent Guilt
To Hurt is to Become
Chapter 2 Day 2
Bill was alone. The room was void of everything and everyone. Suddenly a spotlight from above shined directly in Bills eyes.”Who's there?” Bill asked.
“You've been a very bad boy Mister Edwards. You've hurt, lied, and cheated.”A voice said.
“I'm a American citizen! If you don't let release me there will be trouble. I know my rights!” Bill screamed back.
“You had your rights, but you abused them. You were very bad to your daughter. You were very bad.” The voice repeated.
“Who is this and where am I?” Bill asked while trying to scan the room, but each time he moved the light seemed to follow him.
“I am that which you fear most.” The voice said changing imagines and faces of those that Bill knew.”I am the girl you hurt. I am the mother. I am the father. I am you!” The face zoomed in closer and merged into that of Bills face. The rest of the imagine became clearer as the lights slowly deemed away. The imagine had on the same grey pants that Bill had worn to work everyday. The shirt was the same as well.
“It's impossible. None of this can be real.” Bill stated trying to keep touch with reality
“I'm as real as you are. I see, I hear, and I touch. How then can I not be real?”The twin imagine of Bill replied back.
Bill didn't want to believe any of this. His idea of reality was being challenged. Who he was had been altered to suit a deranged version of himself.”Why are you doing this to me. What have I done to you?”
“Daddy's mean. Daddy's mean.” The words were repeated over and over again. The imagine of himself morphed from that of a man to that of his daughter. The clothes that the man was wearing also changed as well. The pants and shirt merged together forming a full length dress. At the top was a peter pan collar. The sleeves were long and at the end had lace sewn into it. In the middle was 4 pictures of ballet dances. Each moving in different stages of the same step and pattern. At the waist of the dress was a slash that tied together into a big bow. It was the same as the one Bill's daughter had worn on her 2nd birthday. However the imagine was wrong. It wasn't a 2 year old Chrissy, but a 5 year old with the same pouty face that had been seen on Chrissy just a few hours ago. “You lied to me and missed everything important. I hate you.” The imagine of Chrissy screamed.
“Your not real. None of this is real.” Bill said trying to keep a hold of reality. The sweat was dripping from everywhere now. He closed his eyes and screamed, ” I wish it would all go away. Just go away.” When Bill opened his eyes the imagines had all gone away. However things were different. He felt different. A mirror slowly appeared in front of him. As the mirror came into view so did the imagine that now looked back at him. His reflection now wore the same dress that the imagine of him had morphed into. Quickly he grabbed reached and tried to grab his genital area. He felt around, but it wasn't there. Whatever had caused this strange transformation had also caused him to loose his manhood.”Noooooooo this can not be real,” he screamed.
“Oh it's all real honey and you look absolute darling.” The voices were back. This time it was that of his wife Cindy “Now little girls such as yourself shouldn't fill around down there. It looks like we are going to have to find a solution to keep you hands from reaching in on.” Then Bill felt it. His clothes were the same, but something was growing around him. The panties were turning into a disposable diaper. The thickness of the padding pushed his legs apart and he fell down with a loud bang. He cried from the fall. Oh God how embarrassed he was. As if it wasn't bad enough already the second change started to take place. His hands disappeared into strange gloves which looked similar to that of mittens. He tried removing them, but he couldn't.” There now, that should do it. My little one shouldn't have any problems now.” The voice spoke.
“Stop this, I'm not a girl or baby. I'm Bill Edwards. I have a wife and child. I am currently working as physiologist trying to help solve problems with The Senators daughter.” Bill Tried to keep his sanity, but at this point is was gone. The chaos had destroyed what had been left of a normal aspect on life.
“Isn't that cute. She thinks that she is a man.” The second voice had repaired It was the same imagine of Bill as before.” This should help solve the problem of her sprouting lies.” The other imagine of Bill forced a Pacifier into the new Bills face.
He tried to refuse, but they were all to powerful for him. When he tried to speak and protest. All that came out of his now Pacifier mouth was muffled sounds. Cindy slowly reached down to pick Bill up. “Well I think we won't have to worry about producing that baby anymore.” She said. “Chrissy, oh Chrissy where are you. Come see your new baby sister.”
Right on que a imagine of Chrissy appeared. She ran over to where her Mommy and Bill was.”Can I hold her mommy?” Chrissy asked.
“Yes you can. In fact I think she wants to see you.” Cindy replied.
Bill was mortified. Here he he was being passed by his wife over to his own daughter. 'Why had all these events started to happen? Just make the nightmare end ' Bill thought.
“Oops” Chrissy said. That was when Bill noticed and felt that he was falling. The floor was quickly coming up to his face. Inch by Inch he came closer to hitting the ground then it happen.
Bill and Cindy's room
Bill sudden sprung up with sweat dripping from his face. The covers had lifted up with him causing Cindy to become aware of the sudden movement.”What's the matter?”
'It was just a very bad dream. That's all.' Bill was so lost in his thoughts of the nightmare that he hadn't heard or noticed Cindy reaching her arms around him.
It startled him. “Your scare me when you look like that. What happen to you that got you so worked up?” She asked.
“It's nothing. Just a bad dream.” Bill got up. Left the bed and walked out of the room and to the bathroom were the medicine cabinet wast. He then opened the door and grabbed two Alka-seltzer. Then he headed to the kitchen. In the Den Chrissy had already been awake watching tv. She didn't even notice his movement as he walked past her. Arriving in the kitchen he poured a glass of water and placed the two alka-seltzer into it. The anti-acids quickly dissolved into bubbles which Bill then drunk it down without even removing the glass from his lips. After he finished He then sit the cup down and headed back for the bedroom. As he passed the den he called out to his daughter,” Morning pumpkin. There's a whole backyard out there to play in. Why don't you go out and have some fun.”
“Awe, but daddy pikachu just got hurt. I can't leave now till I make sure he is ok.” She pouted.
“Pika what? The tv show will be on when you come back.” Bill replied.
“But it isn't the tv. It's my pet. Jenny, Sara, and Susan all had to reset theirs because it died, but mine hasn't. I have to make sure he is better before I can do anything else.” Chrissy responded.
“Al right then, just remember to mind your mother if she ask you to do something while I'm at work.” Bill walked over and then gave her a hug. Then went off to the bedroom.
Back in Bill's and Cindy's bedroom
“Honey, maybe you shouldn't go to work.” Cindy said.
“I have to go otherwise the client I have might cause some trouble for me. Besides it was just a bad dream.” Bill Re insured her.
“Is it really that important that you go? Wouldn't you rather stay home with a wife who cares about you and child who needs her father here.” Cindy responded.
“I would if I could. The lord knows I love you both. It's just that my job is my job.” Bill said.
“Just don't forget that you promised that little girl of yours ice cream. You better not forget.” Cindy.
“Me forget? There's no way that I could. You know me I made a promise.” Bill responded.
“Thats what I was afraid of.” Cindy mumbled under her breath.
“Did you say something ?” Bill asked.
“No. Just go get dressed for work otherwise you will be late.” Cindy responded. She leaned over and then gave him a hug.
It didn't take Bill that long to take a shower, take care of his normal grooming, and head out.”I'm leaving.” He shouted from the front door.
“Bye.” Both his wife and daughter responded in unionism.
The Senators home
Bill made it to the Senators home where he was meet by a big Iron gate. It stood at least 15 feet tall and covered nearly half the property. To the side of the road was a intercom system. It was about 5 feet away from the front entrance. Bill pushed the button and waited for a response.”The Williams Residents. Please state your name and business.” A guard responded.
“This is Bill Edwards. The Senator called my office in search of help for his daughter.” It took the guard a few minutes to check his records to see if Bill was telling the truth. When all things seemed in order he then gave the ok by opening the gate. Bill was amazed by all that surrounded him. In front of him was a large number of huge fountains that extended all the way up to the house. Next to the fountain was a row of flowers that seemed to contain every color of the rainbow. The real shocker was the size of the house. From a far it looked average, but when driving underneath the huge greek columns it reminded you of what the Gods of the old might have seen.
A butler greeted him.”Do come in sir. The master of the house has been waiting for you. I shall have someone park your car for you.” He spoke in one of those british accents that you would expect to find in a rich persons home. The butler then escorted Bill into the master den of the house where Mr. Williams was waiting.
“My dear sir. I see you have made it here safe and sound, might I add your right on time.” Senator Williams spoke while holding a gold stop watch in his hand.
“Sir, I believe that you called about your doctor. If it is al right with you I would rather get down to business.” Bill spoke with authority.
“Yes, yes I agree. I like a man who knows how to take charge and get right on the ball of things.” Senator Williams responded.
“May I ask which room of the house is your daughters?” Bill asked.
“My daughters room is the 3rd room on the left of the main floor. It is almost as big as my room.”
“Will you take me there so I can see what is happening and how she is responding in her natural surrounds.?” Bill asked.
“Certainly, that is why you came here.” The Senator responded. Bill was then escorted by the Senator to his daughters room. They passed through 3 large hallways on there way to the room, each one as stunning as the one before it. Finally, reaching his daughters room The Senator opened the door.
Bill was in shock. In the middle of a huge room there was a cage. The cage was 10f x 10f. What was even more shocking was that a human being was actually in the cage. A beautiful girl of her late teens was sleeping.”Mr. Williams the first thing wrong I see here is caging your daughter. How do you expect her to get better if you have her trapped in a cage? It's inhuman.”
“Now don't you go judging me young man. After I had removed the diapers from her she went crazy. It was as if my daughter had been posed by a crazed beast. She attacked two of my servants and then came after me before my body guards stopped her.”
After hearing the Senator speak he knew this was going to be harder case then he had thought it would be. “Can you get her out of the cage so that I might speak to her?” Bill asked the Senator.
“Are you for sure you want to take the risk?”The Senator questioned.
“Yes, I'm perfectly safe. Just leave everything to me. I would like to be alone with her so that I can get a better response from her. “Bill responded.
The cage was then opened and Senator Williams helped out his daughter. “This is Mr. Edwards honey. He's here to help you. Now be a good girl while daddy goes off for a bit.” He spoke to her as a adult would speak to a small child.
“Ok daddy.”Sarah said. Mr. Williams then left the room.
“Hello and what's your name sweat heart.” Bill asked.
“My name's Sarah.” Sarah replied.
“And can Sarah tell me how old she is?”
Sarah held up two fingers and replied,”Two.”
“That's a mighty young age, but it seems to me little Sarah is a good girl.” Bill said while patting Sarah on the head. She blushed in response.” Would little Sarah like to play a game with me?” Bill asked.
“What type of game?”
“A game of pretend. Lets say that Sarah was a teenager. What type of things would Sarah do?”
“No like this game.” Sarah crawled away from Bill to the corner and curled up in a fetal position.
“Why does Sarah no like to pretend to be big?”
“Because other kids mean. They make fun of Sarah because daddy never show up to Sarah stuff. They say Sarah is bad and caused mommy to yell at daddy.” Sarah cried.
Bill was starting to get a picture of why Sarah had mentally regressed. The hard part was going to be breaking it The Senator. Part of him was even afraid that he might be causing the same problems to his own daughter. It gave him great pain which caused a even greater headache. That was when he suddenly noticed that the room was changing. Everything went blank except for him and Sarah. “They love to hate, cheat , steal, and even brand you as something that your aren't. When they make a mistake it turns out to be your fault.” Sarah spoke.
“Why do you say that Sara?” Bill asked
“Parents who hurt shall become that which is hurt themselves. It's the only way they will see the pain they cause upon the masses of small children who can not defend themselves.” Sarah repeated before disappearing into the void. Laughing noises soon could be heard everywhere. Bill tried to cover his ears with his hands, but it was to much for him. The loud noise soon caused him to pass out from pain.
Senator Williams Guest Bedroom
“Make sure you keep a warm blanket on him. You over there keep that Ivy stabled. Keep a eye on that heart rate.” A nurse instructed her crew.
“What happen? Who are you? And where am I.” Bill questioned.
Bill tried to get up, but that was when the restraints from the stretcher hit him. “Try to lay still Mr. Edwards. You had a rough fall there.” She then pulled out a flash light and shined it into his eyes.” I would like to see if you can follow the light without moving your head.” After two successful swipes she then gave the ok.” Your vital signs seem to be coming back and your temperature is reading normal. Have you ever had spells like these before Mr. Edwards?'
“No. This is the first.” Bill Replied.
“Chances are that this is only a one time thing. I would however suggest that you take it easy and rest for the next few days. No sudden movements and take a few days off from work.” The nurse instructed.
“I can not. I promised I would help The Senator with his family problem. I still need to type up my report and give it to him so he can understand what is happening with his
daughter.” Bill replied.
“It's ok. We have everything we need on tape.” Senator Williams said trying to comfort Bill. That was the first time Bill had even noticed that Mr. Williams was near by.
“Tape?” Bill asked.
“Yes tape. Security cameras are posted in every room of the house. It's how we knew that you had fainted. Not to mention the screaming that Sarah was making. Now you get some rest and when your up and ready we will finish up our business with my daughter.”
“Do you have anyone that can come pick you up?” The nurse asked Bill.
“My car is just out front I was planning to drive home after I left.” Bill replied.
“It is to risky to chance. The stress from the driving could cause a relapse that could not only endanger you but innocent drivers on the road.”
“I will take care of it. I'll have one of my drivers drop him off at his home.” Senator Williams said.
“But what about my car?” Bill asked.
“That is a easy solution to. I'll drive the car to your house and then have my driver drive me back.” Senator Williams replied.
With all the arrangements made and Bill stable the nurse released him from the restrained. Bill then was free to go.
The Edwards Family Home
Cindy had been worried when she received the call that Bill had fainted. Parts of her had regretted not putting up a bigger fight to keep him home. When she heard the door start to turn she quickly went to it.” Bill is that you?” She asked.
“Yes it's me you crazy girl. Who else would have a key to open the door.” Bill replied. Before Bill could take one step in the door Cindy threw her arms over him. She hugged and squished him like there was no tomorrow.
“Don't mean to interrupt, but I best be going now.”
“It's perfectly ok. Forgive the rudeness and lose of manners. Senator Williams this is my wife Cindy.” Bill said.
“It's a pleasure to meet you and thank you for taking such good care of my husband. I hope he didn't trouble you.” Cindy said while being introduced to the Senator.
“Not at all. The pleasure was all mine. As far as your husband he is welcome at my house anytime. Your a lucky man Edwards.”
Cindy blushed at the remark, but Bill replied,” Yes I am and I wouldn't trade it for the world.”
With that The Senator was off. Bill and Cindy entered the house where Bill was greeted by another surprise that nearly toppled him over. It was Chrissy. She had been waiting on the bottom of the stairs which at first sight of her daddy she had jumped out, grabbed hold of him and embraced him in a big hug.” Mommy said that you were hurt.” Her child like innocents filled Bill's heat. Here just the other day his little girl was upset at him. Now she was only concerned that her daddy was safe and would always be with her.
“I'm ok sweetheart. Really I am. Don't you worry your pretty little head off. Now here's a thought. How about I take my two lovely Angels out for some ice cream and for a special little girl I know we shall get the biggest ice cream sunday she's ever had.” Bill said.
“With real cherry's and strawberry's?” Chrissy asked.
“You bet.” Bill replied.
Without a moments waste Chrissy ran up the stairs and back to her room. All thoughts were on that big sunday ice cream she was about to get and nothing else. Cindy however was less pleased with the idea that Bill had just suggested. “Isn't it a bad idea to drive somewhere in your current position?” Cindy asked.
“Well yes, but I wasn't planning to do the driving.” Bill rapidly started kissing Cindy.
“But,” She tried to interrupt the kissing.
“shhh, no words.” Bill replied. Cindy didn't reject the kissing this time. The two lovers just embraced each other and stayed that way.
“Ewww mommy and daddy making funny faces together.”Chrissy had returned. Just as usual her timing was right on the spot. She had changed into a short summer dress. It had a picture of a princess waving a magical wand on it. Below the picture was wording that read Daddy''s little princess.
“Daddy and Mommy were just kissing. Its something boys and girls do when they are in love. Even you will do it someday.” Cindy explained to her daughter.
“Thats icky. Boys be mean and have cooties.” Chrissy responded.
“Now if only we could keep that imagine of boys in her head when she's 16.” Bill joked.
“Oh you. I guess if we are going to head off and get ice cream We best be going.” Cindy said taking control of everything. That evening everything went smoothly. Bill enjoyed a lovely time with his wife and daughter. Chrissy was happy with him to which made the even a better success. Today had been a very good day and Bill didn't want anything to change it for the world.
