After breakfast, I gave the Cook a huge hug and headed for the pool. The rain made the surface of the water a shattered mirror and the pool looked even less inviting than before. It looked almost evil. I looked up and spotted Ms. Janice at the end of the pool. "Hmm...sweetie...I've got a little test for you. Kinda of how well you do will decide on what happens to Rose." My face must have shown my fear, "Ohhhh.....sweetie.....how delicious."

She pointed to a few scraps of swimwear. I sighed and stripped, feeling the cold right away. The bright yellow swimsuit was tiny. With a click of her fingers she laughed and said, "Ohh, I almost forgot." She walked into the small swim hut and emerged pushing a large TV on a stand. It was placed at the end of the pool. "Now Dido, get in." I slipped into the water and felt the chill hit me right away. I felt like I was wrapped in ice. Holding onto the pool edge like grim death, I waited for the next horrible task.

With a serious look on her face, I watched as Ms. Janice tunred the TV on. The image snapped into focus. I could see Rose, totally nude and spread wide, her soft ass on display to all. I then felt sick as I realised she was in position to be whipped properly. Ms. Janice spoke, "Dido, you can't see it properly on the TV but let me assure you that just behind your sister is a high speed whipping machine. The machine is set to quite a high impact setting and the whip in place is Ms. Nora's heavy silver and black whip. It's really simple....a little test for you." She knelt at the side of the pool. "If you look ever so carefully, you'll note a grey box at each end of the pool. All you have to do is throw the switch on each box and the automatic whip count on the machine will be reduced by 1. So each length you finish will save your sister a stoke."

I swallowed hard, "Ahh..and yes Dido, I know you're not a good swimmer so unlike Ms. Nora I've decided that for every two lengths I'll throw in a bonus length and for every five I'll throw in two. Now Ms. Nora likes a long easy breakfast so you've got quite some time. Don't worry, rest as much as you want. Just don't forget of course that resting time isn't earning you a length."

Ms. Janice leaned in close and said, "Dido, sweetie....if you concentrate princess..you can save Rose lots of pain. So try hard princess...she's really depending on you." With that she stood up and said, "Right then..you'd better start. Don't worry, they'll be a servant around if you get into real trouble. Now move girl."

I set off and the water seemed to drag at me. All I could think about was the machine as Rose's soft ass filled the screen. As I tapped each grey box I felt some relief but after a while I was crying hard and going much slower. I had to stop and hung on to the side sobbing. I had no idea of the time or how long I had left. Eventually, I let go and pushed on a little more. The cold made me felt sick and then light headed. I think may even have giggled a bit now and again when I stopped. Even the rain didn't stop as I tried to swim but Ms. Janice had been clever and made the boxes light up so I could clearly see them. One flashed red until I switched it and then it would go solid green and the other box would flash red.

As I splashed on and on, I couldn't stop crying and then giggling. I wondered how Rose was coping, tied up in that horrible position. I had no idea of the time but I tried ever so hard to keep going even though I had to keep resting. The cold at times seemed to make the water solid. I didn't even think about how long I'd have to keep swimming for.
