Pushing the boundaries
For the first time in months, Albert felt relaxed and happy. On one hand, his relationship with Myriam was all that he had expected it to be, he felt loved, he loved her, and they were still best friends. Additionally, spring had finally arrived and he was revitalized because he could go back to do outdoor activities, even if it was something as stupid as studying in the sun. He felt much more confident with his subjects that term, not that his exams did go terribly on the previous one, but they could have been better. And, finally, something that he was really proud of, he was getting to control more his dreams. He did even try if he could study during his dreams and then remember it, as to be able to rest during the study period but study at the same time. When he discovered he could he felt as if he had hit the jackpot, Robert was jealous and told him that he was cheating, but Albert thought that he would be studying nonetheless so it was worth it. By then he was using his newly discovered capacity to read the book her grandmother gave him two days a week. The other days he liked to explore around and leave small marks that he would go check the following day. Once, he poured water on a sleeping guy's bed after he had made fun of Robert, the following day half the dorm went on about how that guy had wet the bed.
With the help of the book he soon understood how to increase his control over his dreams, and after some weeks he no longer needed to focus on anything to dream about what he wanted. He discovered that he didn't need to be close to where he wanted to go to dream about it. He started visiting her grandmother to get more answers. The first time he visited Lara she asked him about his dream. It had been embarrassing to tell her, but he had felt better afterwards. During each of his visits, she tried to teach something else and they started planning a way to show Marla that she wouldn't be able to do whatever she wanted with him, that he was the one who had the power.
One Friday he went to sleep early, he was ready to experiment his real power. He knew that Marla would be throwing a party at her place so she would be completely awake to experiment what happened when people messed with him. Also, he still didn't understand how did she get inside his dream and control it, it was something that you were not supposed to be able to do. His sabotage started pretty early when he mixed up the drinks and the food of the catering making everything inedible. Most of the people went to her parties because they could drink and eat for free, so if she didn't have it most of the party would be ruined. He also tampered with the electrical system so it wouldn't stand all the lighting and the sound equipment. People started arriving at Marla's house around ten, she played the gracious host, as usual, and invited them to eat and drink, while she started talking to a senior guy she had invited with other reasons in mind. When people started complaining that there was something wrong with the food she felt mildly annoyed, decided to hire a new catering company for the following party, and she took some of her own groceries to feed her guests. More and more people arrived and everything seemed to go according to her plan. Suddenly, however, the power went off, leaving the party without music and without lights. She sent the DJ to check out, but he couldn't do anything about it, and people started to flock away from her house. She tried to retain them, but no one wanted to stay now that the party was over. Marla became completely mad, although she still managed to convince Larry, the boy she had been talking to, to stay, and she took him over the other part of her house into her room.
Albert looked at everything, grinning at everything that happened, waiting for the next part of his plan.
-This doesn't usually happen.- Marla was telling Larry.- I promise you that my parties are the best in town.
-Don't worry babe, this way we can spend more time together.- he said kissing her neck.
Marla smiled and made him sit on the bed.
-Wait a minute, I'm going to change.
She entered into a walk-in closet and Larry started undressing immediately in expectation to what was going to happen. Then he stared nervously at the red room. Albert knew that room already, it hadn't changed a bit since the day he was forced in. He thought about doing a bit of “remodeling” but he didn't want to let Marla know that he was around yet, so he kept watching how the action was unfolding.
Marla came out of the walk-in closet wearing a red lingerie set against her white skin. She did look stunning, Albert had to admit it, but he still remembered how she had played with him, and it hurt. Larry looked as if he wouldn't stand what he was seeing much more, so Marla got closer to him and started licking all his body.
-Enough, let me get it inside you.- Larry told her.
She got up and finished undressing in eagerness, then she lay on the bed and made Larry approach her slowly. Albert could see that she was completely turned on and waiting for Larry to make love to her, then he decided to act. He opened the door of the balcony while locking the bedroom door and closing the lights at the same time. He heard how Marla got out the bed to turn on the light to the disappointed moan of her lover.
-Babe, come back, you can't leave me like this.
Then, Albert turned on the TV on a static channel. Marla tried to turn it off, but she couldn't.
-Babe?- called out Larry a bit weirded out.-What's happening?- he asked while starting searching for his clothes to leave.
-Hush! Stay in bed!- she said while unplugging the TV and closing the window.
Marla felt something brushing her cheek and a chill went down her spine.
-Hello, Marla.- Albert whispered in her left ear.
-How dare you do this to me?- she asked.
-The question is, how did you dare doing that to me?- he murmured in her right ear.
In the meantime, Larry had gotten completely dressed and was staring at her thinking that she was crazy.
-Who are you talking too?- he asked scared.
-Get out!- Marla told him remembering that he was there.
He flew to the door and fought to get it open, finally Albert took compassion on him and let him out before closing it again. Marla looked around looking for something to cover her nakedness.
-Now you're shy and modest?- asked Albert mockingly.
-You're going to pay for this!- Marla menaced him.
-How?- he turned the air conditioning on at the lowest temperature.
Then, he felt how she was fighting mentally against him.
-I know what you're trying to do... and I'm having none of it.
He pushed her mental barriers until she lost consciousness.
-Now, who has the power?- he asked to himself while seeing her lying naked on the floor.
