Mother and daughter Kelly and Angie Roberts looked similar to each other in size, but wildly different in dress, hair style and tastes, etc.

 

Angie came in from college early that day, feeling tired and unwell. Unknown to Kelly, however, Angie was wearing one of Samoto's bracelets, and was under its control....

 

Kelly, in trying to help Angie, touched the bracelet. The booby trap triggered, and both mother and daughter settled down to sleep on the sofa in the lounge. As they did, the bracelet sent a message back to the college....

 

Moving quickly, Shan and Sarah made bodysuits for the two women. One was a perfect copy of Kelly, the other a perfect copy of Angie. They then set off from Samoto to get the women ready...

 

Shan undressed Angie, as Sarah undressed Kelly, then both girls had all their hair removed and were ‘silenced’.

 

Angie was then sealed into Kelly’s bodysuit, and vice-versa.

 

Kelly was then dressed in Angie’s school uniform, and Angie was dressed in Kelly’s dress. The two were then chained up, tightly, and hooded. All the hoods allowed each woman to do was see the other woman’s eyes, as every other part of their head except their ears was covered, making them completely dumb.

 

Both women were then fastened into matching semi-transparent capes, with locking fasteners.

 

Lastly, thick metal collars were fastened round their necks, to weigh them down and slow them down.

 

The women were then sat back onto the sofa, and Shan and Sarah left, making sure that the webcams built into the collars were working.

 

Kelly was the first to awaken. What the hell....

 

She suddenly jerked upright. She was wearing chains! Also, why was she wearing her daughter’s school uniform? The weight of the collar also shocked her, and she sagged back down on the sofa. She tried pulling open the cape, but the fasteners were firmly locked. She tried to cry out, but nothing happened.

 

Looking along the sofa, she suddenly realised she had company.

 

A woman, wearing what looked like her dress, was chained up in a similar way at the other end. She looked unconscious, and just as helpless as her.

 

Suddenly, she realised who it was......

 

Desperately, she started sliding across the sofa. As she got close, however, a circuit in their collars triggered. Both Kelly, and the unconscious Angie, received a powerful electric shock.

 

The shock caused Kelly to bounce back down the sofa, and the shocks stopped.

 

Tearfully, Kelly tried again to get to Angie. The same happened and, this time, the shocks woke Angie, who started crying and struggling.


Angie then turned, and saw Kelly. She tried to get close, and both got shocked again.

 

An hour later, both women were still sitting on the opposite ends of the sofa, helpless. They had worked out that the collars kept them apart, and the chains and capes stopped them from doing anything else.

 

They were both pulling at their outfits, trying to get free, when Shan entered the room, and sat between them.

 

“Ladies, please”, she said, “stop fidgeting. I’ll unchain you in a minute, but not before you hear what I’ve got to say. The chains will be taken off, but the collars stay on. Any attempt to remove either of them will set off a small explosive charge in both of them, and you will both die. Any attempt to get closer to each other than about one meter gives both a strong electric shock.”

 

“Anyway, let’s get you both ready.”

 

Sarah came in, and she and Shan removed Angie’s cape, and unchained her. Then, as Kelly looked on, they removed her hood....

 

Her own face stared back at her! Wearing her own clothes! How?

 

“There you go, Kelly. All done. Get us a cup of tea, love?”

 

Angie looked down at herself, then hobbled over to the nearest mirror as fast as her weakened legs could carry her. She moaned, in disbelief and horror, and frantically started pulling at her head, trying to get the hood off.


As she was doing this, Shan and Sarah were getting Kelly ‘ready’.


“There you are, Angie. Now you can go back to school. They’ve been told all about your illness...”


The two women moaned and wailed as they stared at each other.


Shan tossed ‘Angie’ her school bag.


“Hurry up, you’re late for class”, she said. “They’re expecting you.”


Sobbing, Kelly stumbled down the stairs, left the house, and headed for Angie’s school. She had realised that she daren’t do anything else, both because of her daughter and the fact that the collar could be triggered at any time.


Reaching the school, she stumbled through the door. One of Angie’s friends immediately helped her, and steered her to her desk in one of the classrooms.


“Hi, Ange, nice to have you back”, the girl said. “We all heard about the accident.....”


The girl broke off, embarrassed. The school had all been told that Angie had been in a car crash. Her head and neck had been damaged, making her mute and hard of hearing. The collar she wore was to support her head after the neck damage, and she was prone to memory lapses.


Kelly, still with tears in her eyes, sat through the classes like a good girl. As she did, however, she found herself gaining interest, and starting to enjoy herself. If it wasn’t for the situation she was in, she thought, this might actually be fun....


Lunchtime involved liquids only for Kelly, through a straw, due to her ‘injuries’. Some of her friends tried to talk to her about the accident, but she begged off, using her notebook to tell them that she’d rather not think about it.


Back at home Angie, as Kelly, was being made to get on with the housework. Shan had dressed her in a splashproof dress, with an apron on top, and had her cleaning the house.
