Almost without warning Miss Rogers came over to Effie and clamped her mouth against hers once again, giving her one of her disgusting kisses, her tongue wriggling around inside her mouth.  Effie shuddered at the touch, her disgust only broken by the words that followed.<br/><br/>“<em>Go out there and kneel to your two betters and introduce yourself to them</em>," Miss Rogers said.  For a few seconds Effie thought she had misheard the Deputy Headmistress.  She had been used over the years to being respectful to more senior girls, but kneeling before them!!!  Effie was certain she was not going to do that.<br/><br/>Suspiciously she eyed the two girls, taking in their similar uniforms, although with a twinge of jealously she noted that their skirts were much longer than hers, and at least provided some modesty rather than barely covering the edge of the cheeks.  But with mounting horror she took in the other details – scars from vicious and repeated beatings – and tattoos, similar to the one that she had, but in more intimate places and with disgusting and humiliating words.  She began to become convinced that Miss Rogers was insane.<br/><br/>Then, remembering the ordeal that Gemma had suffered – the stripping, the thrashing with the crop – reluctantly and slowly she sank onto all fours, feeling the skimpy leather skirt slide up to her hips as she did so, and stuttered “I’m Effie”.<br/>
