The Training of Camille - Session 2

Camille didn't know what was on my mind. She wasn't going to know unless she proved herself to be THE ONE. All she knew is that in a few days time she was going to act in a movie, that she was going to play two roles, that of twin sistes, one who is killed by Mr Psycho and the other who gets involved in the investigation, falling in love with a lawyer/painter played by me. We had already rehearsed one kiss.

The rod kept falling on Camille's back, the same way it fell on MaRe's a while back, perhaps a bit harder. When I took MaRe into the playroom I didn't know if she would go for what I was planning, but I had a very strong suspicion that she was going to do it. I wasn't going to hang her from the beam across the room like I did with Margot. I was going to just tie her wrists together. There was a mattres on the floor, which we used with Margot when she had to fall to the ground during our rehearsals. I laid MaRe on the matress and tied her wrists, she started to breath heavily, her mouth and eyes closed. It was a dream come true for her.

I was nearing the end of the first part of this session. I was taking my time, enjoying it, taking advantage of a situation that I created and that she entered into of her own free will. I believed then that she suspected that I was enjoying it a bit too much but she never gave me any inkling of that possible thinking, not during that session. She was letting herself go, letting her situation take over, just as I taught my actors to do.

After a few more strokes with the cane or rod, I decided she was ready for the next part, the one I liked the best, the one I was hoping would grow into her. I was going to free one wrist and turn her around to face me. I was going to stretch her arm to the side, open her arms in cross like position. Just like I did with Margot when she was on top of me that night in Hungary, while listening to the rock opera perform "I Don't Know How To Love Him".
