The mysterious woman smiled as she admired the sleeping form of her victim. She was completely mesmerized by how the morning light peeking through the window reflected off the unsuspecting girl's golden blonde locks. She caressed her face in a loving manner, gently brushing away her bangs before placing a sweet kiss upon her forehead.

"Mhm…"

"Oh, she's waking up."

The girl in question opened her eyes and found herself looking up at an unfamiliar ceiling. She tried to get up, but that turned out to be a futile effort as both of her arms and legs were restrained to the bed by some kind of invisible force. She was trapped and there was effectively nothing she could do about it. Instead of needlessly wasting her energy, she opted to ponder her current situation. The last thing she remembered was falling asleep in her own room after saying good night to 'her' dad. So, how did she end up here and more importantly where was here exactly?

"Don't tell me you already forgot? You're in the Witch's House."

Right on cue, someone responded to the blonde's most pressing thoughts. Whatever comfort she found in having her question answered was soon replaced with a feeling of immense fear. "That voice…" With her movement severely limited, all she could do was turn her head and face the one who answered her.

"It's been a while… Ellen…"

Her bright green eyes widened in shock upon hearing her 'name.' "Viola…?"

The mysterious woman silently nodded in response and gazed back at the blonde with a mischievous smile on her face.

Ellen couldn't tell what Viola was thinking at all. She only nodded and smiled back at her. Why was she smiling at her? What did that smile mean? Was it good? Was it bad? She honestly had no idea and that scared her far more than she cared to admit, but in spite of that she did her best to remain composed and not let her captor know that.

On the other hand, Viola was milking this moment for everything it was worth. She was the one in control now and she wasn't scared to let Ellen know it as she positioned herself on top of her body. Straddling her waist, she leaned forward and stared directly into her victim's eyes.

It was only then it occurred to Ellen that maybe Viola was checking 'her' body out. After all, she hadn't seen it for a long time. Ellen had grown into a beautiful young woman of eighteen years. She no longer wore braids, instead opting to grow it out till it reached her waist. In keeping with Viola's style she still wore a white dress with three buttons down the front with a newish pair of brown hunting boots. It was all possible because of that faithful event five years ago.

Back then, Ellen was a sickly child who didn't have any loving parents or friends to call her own. It wasn't until an unsuspecting Viola entered her house and became 'friends' with her out of sympathy for her illness that her plan set into motion. One day, she asked her 'friend' for a favor: to switch bodies for a day. She lied and made sure to render her helpless, so that she could not get her body back. Even when Viola persistently chased after her in a body that was essentially falling apart, she killed her in the cruelest way possible. So why now, when she had everything she could possibly want is she finding herself face to face with the one she stole it from?

However, Viola's presence and the fact that she was being eerily quiet wasn't the only thing that bothered Ellen, it was her appearance as well. In her original body, she used to be a pale-face, sickly seven year old girl. Not to mention the injuries she self-inflicted in order to ensure her former friend would be helpless to stop her. Now, Viola seemed like she not only made a miraculous recovery, but completely transformed herself into an unbelievably attractive woman. Her once golden eyes were now a crimson red, and much like herself, Viola wore her hair the same way having it spill down her shoulders freely and bangs which tended to cover said eyes easily. However, the clothes she was wearing could only be described as lewd. Her outfit consisted of a tank top like bustier with very thin straps and button-like pieces with multiple holes in the center which showed off just enough cleavage to be both sexy and tasteful, a choker with a glowing line and pink line below it, small straps connected to her bikini bottom, almost shoulder length gloves with multiple pink accessories, long boots connecting to the outfit in a similar way a garter belt would, and pink and black thin earrings to complete the look. It was a racy outfit with an intricate design that only the boldest of women would wear. To think that the very sweet and kind girl she met five years ago would be wearing an outfit like this was just unthinkable.

Viola remained pokerfaced as she noted every little reaction Ellen was having to her foreplay. She took pleasure in knowing that she was the one making her feel this way and couldn't help tease her even more. "Do you like what you see?"

After a very long period of silence Ellen was surprised to hear her former friend speak to her. It was weird for her to hear her own voice carry such a strong commanding, but subtle seductive tone. If Viola wasn't hovering so close to her face that she could swear her crimson red eyes looked like lustrous rubies, or how their noses practically rubbed against one another, or each small breath the violet-haired woman took with each gasp of air gently caressed her lips, she wouldn't believe it. However, this was reality and there was no other choice, but for her to believe. She recomposed herself and found her resolve. Between her invisible bonds restraining her and Viola pinning her to the bed, she was at a complete disadvantage. However, even then she wasn't about to let her former friend get anymore satisfaction from her. "What do you want Viola?"

"What makes you think I want something?"

"I betrayed you, I took your father from you, I took your life from you, I took everything from you… you're obviously after revenge." Ellen explained.

"Oh, that." Viola deadpanned. "Well…," She lowered herself into the blonde's ear, her cleavage rubbing against hers as she whispered, "I forgive you."

For the second time today, Ellen's eyes widened in shock. "You forgive me…?"

Viola's facial features softened as she spoke in a more caring manner. "I understand why you did it. You just wanted what you never got the chance to experience. How is my father doing anyway?"

"He's doing just fine. We're still 'a close knit family of two' as you so eloquently put it. I finally found out what it was like to have a parent that loves you, to play outside like a normal girl, and I even made a few friends." The blonde explained.

"I'm glad…"

"Can you cut it out already!? This isn't some happy get together! You kidnapped me and are holding me against my will! Stop acting like we're still friends!" Ellen shouted in frustration as her former friend continued to beat around the bush.

Viola was undeterred by her outburst as she continued to gaze at her. "You know it really hurt when we switched bodies. On top of the disease, you gouged your own eyes out and cut off your own legs beforehand too. Then, when I screamed agony you made it even worse by giving me throat burning medicine which effectively made me lose my voice. You even tricked my father into shooting me. Even so, I still think of you as my best friend."

Ellen narrowed her eyes. "Then release me from this binding spell best friend."

Viola smirked in amusement. "Nice try, but no."

"Then, at least indulge my curiosity." The blonde pleaded.

"My, my… you certainly have a lot of demands for a hostage. Maybe I should take this time to thoroughly teach you how a proper victim should act?" The violet-haired woman mused as she closed the distance between their faces. "Very well, then. Just this once I'll let it slide. What do you want to know?"

"As you said before, I did all of those things to you. I even convinced your father into thinking you were a monster and I saw him shoot you dead. On top of that, my contract with the demon was up. He must've eaten your soul like he did all the others. So how did you survive?"

Viola arched her back and sat up straight as she continued to straddle Ellen's waist. She looked at her with an amused expression before beginning her story. "The truth is I didn't survive. I did indeed die five years ago and the demon you allied with did come and eat my soul. However, did you ever stop and think what a soul was?"

"I just thought of it as cat food that I would feed to him."

Viola couldn't help, but chuckle at her response. "There's more to a human soul than being some demon's lunch. It's a person's essence, their energy, everything that person was. Even after the demon ate me and the only thing I could see was darkness, I still had a strong desire to live so I was able to hang on. I think my will to live was so strong that instead of being absorbed by him; I managed to turn the tables and absorb him instead."

"That's impossible. No mere human could stand up to a demon."

Viola looked at Ellen as if she was a child that didn't know any better. "My dear sweet Ellen, human beings can be far more terrifying creatures than any demon. I would've thought you of all people would know that."

As much as Ellen hated it, she had to admit Viola was right. She committed countless atrocities just so she could find a cure for her illness by giving the demon souls. The only thing the demon did was give her the little push she needed, at the end of the day every single thing she did was done by her hand.

"Once I finished devouring his soul from the inside out, I became something far beyond both human and demon. However, even with this newfound power I needed a body to house my soul. The nearest body was yours and although it was falling apart, with my power I was able to use it as a catalyst to reincarnate myself into this new body you see before you now. After that, I studied all your spell books and practiced my magic daily, I even went so far as to fight other witches in the area and absorb the souls of their demon familiars to add to my power. Before long, I became the strongest witch… maybe even strongest being in existence and it was all in preparation for our reunion today."

After hearing Viola's story, Ellen realized that this was quite possibly the worst case scenario for her. It would've been one thing if her 'friend' was a normal witch, but to hear she had ascended beyond both humans and demons was something she couldn't fathom. It was a demon who originally gave Ellen her powers as a witch to begin with. If Viola had even surpassed that then she didn't stand a chance against her at all. What made it even worse was that she still had no idea what the violet-haired dominatrix wanted from her. If her goal wasn't revenge then for what reason did she have to kidnap and restrain her against the bed in such a manner where their bodies practically pressed into each other?

Viola caressed Ellen's face in a very sensual manner which sent chills up her spine. "The only thing I've ever wanted was you. Ever since I first met you, all I ever thought about was making you mine. I thought if I was nice to you, spent time with you, and we got to know each other better that eventually you'd come to like me in the same way. However…," A mischievous smile played across Viola's lips as she continued to trace her finger down the center of Ellen's body till she tugged at the neckline of her white dress. Not wanting to waste time untying them herself, she used a simple spell instead resulting in the cleavage of her friend becoming more exposed. "…you betrayed my trust and left me to die. Of course I don't blame you for it, but I've decided that the next time I saw you; I would be a little more straightforward with my approach. Since you had your way with me; it's only fair that I get to do the same right? We are friends after all. So, today… we should play some more and take our time getting to know each other even better."

The image Ellen had of the sweet gentle girl who wandered into her house and befriended her had shattered and taking its place was that of the new Viola. The girl who dressed up as a dominatrix, pinned her to the bed, and was eyeing her like a predator would its prey.

Taking advantage of the situation, Viola leaned forward bringing her mouth up to the right side of Ellen's lower neck and sucked on her soft skin.

The new sensation that surged through Ellen's being caused her to involuntarily moan in pleasure.

"You're so cute Ellen." Viola remarked as she sat back upright and saw the results of her work.

The blonde lied there gasping for breath as her face was flush from embarrassment. Being touched like this was an entirely new experience before and until now she had no idea how sensitive her body was to this type of thing.

"To think that we've barely even started and you're already like this, I wonder what kind of cute reaction you'll show me next."

Just as it seemed like Viola was about to have her way with her, she stopped. Ellen stared at the violet-haired super witch who seemed to have a look of disappointment on her face.

"Why did that girl have to come now of all times…?" Viola sighed as she begrudgingly got up from the bed.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm sorry about this Ellen, but it seems an uninvited guest has arrived." Viola snapped her fingers which instantly freed the blonde from her invisible restraints. "In the meantime, you're free to wander around premises. I remodeled the house, making sure to remove all the traps and get rid of any nasty creatures that were lingering around. Anyway, I have to go deal with this."

"Are you sure that's such a good idea? I could try to escape." Ellen taunted as she buttoned her dress back up.

As Viola was about to leave, she stopped at the doorway. There was a smile on her face as she turned to face Ellen almost like she was daring her to try and escape. "You could, but I don't mind. I mean, even if you do manage to escape, I'll just kidnap you and hold you against your will again. It just seems like a waste of time to me, but hey it's your life." With that, Viola disappeared into the darkness of the hallway leaving Ellen to her thoughts.

AN: This was a story idea I had in mind for a while now. I originally planned for this to be a one-shot story, but decided to make it a mini multi-chapter fic instead. I tried to keep Ellen and Viola's personalities in line with game, but at the same time highlight how they've grown over the past five years. For Viola, her personality was pretty vague. The only thing we know about her is she's a kind and caring girl who loves her father. So when I conceptualized how she would be as a witch, she didn't strike me as the type to take revenge. So going along that line of thinking, I toyed around with the idea that she still loves Ellen, but in becoming a 'super witch' her love for her had become twisted. To that end, I was invoked Iris Heart aka 'Sadie' from Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory. This story was inspired by the AveraIllisa's "The New Witch" and Shawn45's "Bond of Trust" and the sequel "Transcendent Trust"
