Alessa's breathing became quick and shallow as she took a step back. "N-no..." she whispered, "Please... I-I'll b-be better." She was starting to see things in a warped way. She couldn't see Mrs. Potter or Margaret anymore, or the room. Her surroundings appeared to look like her old house. Alessa's chest felt tight as the wolf was morphing into her mother right before her eyes. At this point she was shaking and huddling herself into a corner.

[-Blufox]

Ms. Robinson knew it was best not to confide Alessa in a corner, so she bent down next to her instead.
"It's okay, Alessa." She said kindly. "I just want to brush your hair. It's very knotted."

[Boomer]

Alessa's eyes were filled with fear. Even Ms. Robinson's voice didn't sound the same to her. It took everything Alessa had to not use her telekinesis. 'No, you can't use your power... Mother will be angry...' she told herself. Alessa tried to hide her arms and face. If she were to do something wrong, Alessa would be beaten. Most of the time her mother didn't use any objects, but if she did have something in her paws, it was always a brush. Alessa could almost hear the crack! of the brush against her arms and feel the welts and bruises forming. "I-I'm sorry... I'm sorry!" winced Alessa, hoping that her apologizes would make her "mother" leave her alone.

Ms. Robinson looked at Ms. Potter, whose face told her that Alessa associated the brush as a bad thing. The wolf bent down and placed the brush on the floor.
“Please, Alessa.” She said in a soothing voice. “The brush isn’t so bad. How about you touch it?”

[Boomer]

Alessa pulled her knees close to her chest. She couldn't bring herself to touch the brush, even knowing that she'd have control over it. "N-no..." she whimpered, "I..." Alessa moved herself towards the bookshelf and bumping into Margaret as a result. This innocent jolt snapped Alessa out of her delusion. She timidly looked to Margaret before looking around the room. Everything seemed to be in place; the room hadn't been destroyed by her telekinesis. Alessa sighed in relief, then slumped against the bookshelf. She was glad that she didn't use her power. "W-what happened?" she asked, a bit confused. Alessa looked to Margaret, wondering if she knew what happened.

[-Blufox]

Margaret looked at her with a confused look, not making eye contact again. She was still huddled in the corner but she was now hugging her bunny.
"M-ms. R-robinson wanted to b-brush your hair." She stammered timidly.
Why was she afraid of the brush? She thought.

[Boomer]

Alessa flicked her tail nervously as Margaret explained what happened. She looked to the adults, quivering slightly. She wouldn't hurt them and now she knew there wasn't any way around it. Alessa forced herself to stand as she clutched onto Scarlett. She slowly approached them as she looked down at her feet. "I-I'm sorry..." she whispered, "I-I w-won't f-fight it anymore." Alessa then sat at Ms. Robinson's feet.

[-Blufox]

Margaret watched as Ms. Robinson took the wooden brush in her hand and brushed Alessa's knotted hair. She took a section of it and held it with her other paw so it wouldn't hurt so much.
"Let me know if you feel any pain." Ms. Robinson said. Now her tone seemed a lot nicer than the one from before.

[Boomer]

Alessa kept herself from squirming away. She looked over to Margaret, looking rather pitiful. As a knot was snagged, Alessa yelped in pain. She scooted away while still clinging onto Scarlett. "T-that really hurt." she winced, lowering her ears some. The girl had to keep telling herself to not use her telekinesis; she wanted to fling the brush across the room and hide, but she knew she couldn't.

[-Blufox]

Ms. Robinson followed her with a relaxed look in her eyes.
"Let me try this." She said, and pinched the hair with her free paw. She continued to brush her hair. "Better?" She asked.
