Chapter 3: The Mistress of Pain and her Secret Lair

The next afternoon John called a meeting of the band in the studio, he seemed extra happy about something.

The concert the night before had been a—well the words 'complete success'—just doesn't start to cover what the night had been.

However, by the end of the concert all the Anderson household, even the adults that were not on stage working, were pretty tired out. When they finally got home, everyone went straight to bed for once and ended up sleeping in late.

Now, as all the kids entered the studio, they still had sleepy looks, as well as inquisitive ones on their faces.

"I know you're all a bit tired still," John began, "God knows I am, look at this cock of mine, it hasn't sprung to life all day," he looked at the girls and smiling said, "and just being in the same room with those incredible naked bodies of yours is usually enough to have it at full size. Anyway though, since we start school tomorrow, I wanted to figure out by the end of today what should be done with this." He pulled out what appeared to be a bank passbook from under the computer keyboard.

"What is it," Lana asked.

"It's a bank book," Hannah said in an 'isn't that obvious' tone, "the real question is whose is it?"

"It belongs to Triplet X Love Times 2," John said, "and it holds $20,000.00."

"You're kidding," Ana said, "I thought that Jennifer girl was just pulling our legs, I mean, she didn't mention anything more about it."

"Probably because her first mention of it left you three so freaked out," Ron said smiling.

"Well, she gave this to me after we finished our last set," John said, "I decided to let you all get a good night's sleep before mentioning it."

"So what should we do with it?" Don asked.

"Well, we can split it evenly among all of us and everyone does what they want," Ron suggested.

"No," Ana said strongly, "this is the bands money and we should use it solely for the band!"

"What," Lana said, "like for new instruments and costumes?"

"Our instruments are already brand new," Don said, "and as for your costumes, NEVER change them."

"Personally," John said, "I agree with Ana, that this is the bands money and it should be used exclusively for the band, which is why I had a bit of a suggestion myself."

"And that is—" Lana said dubiously.

"Well, we'll all be sixteen by the end of this month," John said, "old enough to have driver's licenses..."

"You want us to buy a vehicle for the band," Ana said with a smile.

"I like that idea," Ron said, "but 20,000 dollars won't get us much of van and any vehicle for the band should definitely be a large van, at least."

"But if we all agree, we can talk to Mom and Dad; let them know we have the down-payment and ask them to put up the rest as our birthday and if necessary even our Christmas gifts this year. You decide," John said.

"If Mom and Dad agree to put up the rest on a good van," Lana said, "I'm in!"

"But it has to be a new van," Ana said, "nothing used."

"And we have to agree to have equal use of it when not in use for the band!" Don added strongly.

"Let's do it," Ron said.

"Well, my master's vote is my vote!" Hannah said, "So I guess it's unanimous."

"Great," John said, "We can talk to Mom and Dad at dinner tonight."

"Wow," Ana said as the girls walked back to their room. "The Triplet X Love Times 2 tour van, do you think there's a chance Mom and Dad will agree to it?"

"Well," Lana said, "John had some pretty convincing arguments ready. I think the one about the school being so far away and that with our own van we wouldn't need to wait for anyone else to drive us there will probably win it for us in the end."

As they entered the room Hannah said, "Oh, I forgot, I was going to get a cup of coffee. Anyone want anything?"

Lana grabbed Ana and pulling her on the bed said, "What I want to drink is right here," and she buried her head in Ana's cunt.

Hannah rolled her eyes a second and stepped out.

As she walked down the hall toward the stairs, she noticed a light on the ceiling start to blink. "Oh come on," Hannah (the electronics genius) thought, "we haven't been in this house 3 weeks, well 5 if you count the 2 weeks the boys were here before us, still, the lights can't be dying already."

Hannah looked closely at the ceiling and realized that she hadn't really taken a notice of it until now. "I never noticed how beautiful those hall lamps really are, and those chandeliers are exquisite!"

As she studied the two chandeliers, her eyes drifted to the almost blank space on the ceiling between them, she especially caught sight of the ugly metal round hook that seemed so out of place, "Maybe someone had a large plant hanging from there once," Hannah thought at first.

Hannah wasn't sure why this caught her attention so much, but she figured it was because its location was so mathematically disproportionate to the rest of the items on the ceiling. Sometimes being a mathematician could be a curse.

She walked over to it and kept looking up at the ceiling, there was something wrong here; Hannah didn't know how she could have failed to see it before.

Hannah looked around the hall for something long and with a curved end, spotting the umbrella stand, she saw several umbrellas but thought, "They won't work". Hannah then noticed a metal cane among them and thought, "But that might be strong enough."

Grabbing the cane, she walked over and stood right under the circular hook, stretching, she tried to hook it with the end of the cane. After a few failed tries, she finally hooked it and thought, "Well, now let's see if my hunch is right." Hannah pulled down, it required a bit of force, but she finally smiled as she brought the ceiling down with her, or rather the trap door on the ceiling which had stairs on the other side. She took the cane out of the hook and returned it to the umbrella stand.

"I knew it!" Hannah thought excitedly, "an attic room." She ran up the stairs and instantly found a light switch and turned on the lights.

Once the lights were on, she quickly found a rope that was used to manually raise the stairs back up and re-seal the ceiling below. Doing that, she thought, "now let's take a good look at this room."

Hannah was standing in a very large room, and at first glance, she thought there was nothing in it, but then, she realized that there were several large covers throughout the entire room, and there was obviously furniture under them.

Hannah slowly began to fold the dust covers, making sure not to spread, what appeared to be, a decades worth of dust on the protected furniture below.

"Wow!" Hannah thought as she looked around the blood red room she was in. Everything from the curtains on the windowless wall, to the bed sheets of the incredibly large circular bed in the center of the room was a very provocative and almost erotic red.

In front of the bed was an old, old fashioned, TV with an old VCR on top and several video cassettes. They were apparently home movies and they all began with the words "The Mistress of Pain and" in the handwritten title.

Wondering if this ancient equipment could still work (it seemed very well preserved) Hannah hit the on button of the TV and it powered on. Nothing however could be seen except for snow. Hannah then hit the power button of the VCR, and noticing that there was already a tape in it, hit the play button.

A whip cracked as a picture focused on a woman dressed in thin red leather and a mask saying, "You suck my pussy! Suck it 'til I cum!"

Hannah noticed that the Mistress' costume had holes where the tits, pussy and ass coverings would normally be, these areas were therefore all exposed. In fact, Hannah suddenly realized, her whole back is, Hannah hadn't noticed before because she was wearing a cape.
