Salem's New Daughter Part 3 (Patreon)

“What the heck are you talking about?” Jaune asked as she stood up. “My name is Jaune Arc and she is not my sister!” 

“Now, now, there is no need to yell,” said the woman in black as she motioned Jaune to sit down. “I am just telling her you’re new name and you shouldn’t get mad at your sister.” 

“Mother it’s pointless to use such a weakling to become the Summer Maiden,” said Cinder as she scowled at Jaune. We should just continue with the plan of having me collect the rest of the maiden powers.”

“I’m sorry Cinder, but the Summer Maiden was always supposed to be her. Your sister is the perfect person to inherit that power, but you are right, she is too weak. In order for you to become the perfect summer maiden she needs to be reeducated.”

“Do my words not reach either of you?” Jaune was annoyed of looking at Cinder’s smug face and all that she wanted to do was attack her again, but she could tell that the woman in black was not someone that she could deal with. “I am Jaune Arc, leader of team JNPR and I am no one’s daughter!”

“It would seem that a traditional method of reeducation will not be possible at this point, perhaps we need to go through with Watts’ plan from here. Raising a rebellious teenager is more than what I want to do. I’m so glad that you were obedient my dear Cinder.” “Mother you praise me too much.”

“That’s it, if you two won’t take me seriously then I don’t have anymore reason to stay here. I would rather face the Grimm than stay here.” Jaune grabbed her sword and was abut to walk to the door, however before she could even turn around she felt the pain of a sharp needle enter her neck. 

Almost immediately after it was taken out she started to feel dizzy. “What have you done to me?” Jaune stumbled to the down and her sword feel out of her hand. “My dear daughter, I wish that you would be more cooperative with me and your big sister, but it would seem that you need to learn what it means to be a family with us before we can even make any promise. Don’t worry in time you will forget about your friends and even that silly girl that your sister had to put down.”

“I’ll never give in.” Jaune’s eyes had begun to feel heavy and she knew that any second she would pass out. “We’ll just see about that, in due time you will recognize me as your mother.” With that Jaune finally passed out knowing that her future would be bleak.

When Jaune finally woke up she found herself in the same bed that she had woken up in before. The only difference this time was that it would appear that she wasn’t alone. Standing at the door was a tall and buff middle aged man. He had short brown hair and a beard. He was also wearing an olive green coat and black pants and a t-shirt. He looked tired but at the same time you could tell from his eyes that he was alert. 

“So, you’re finally awake?” he said without moving a muscle. “Who are you?” Jaune didn’t know how many people were in this castle, but she had to assume that they were all her enemies. 

“The name’s Hazel and you must be Joan.” “The name’s Jaune!” “No need to get angry kid, I can assure you that if you fight me I won’t hold back. I do not desire conflict unless I see no other options.”

“I have to go.” Jaune got out of the bed and went to look for her sword, unfortunately this time it was nowhere to be found along with her armor. “Where’s my stuff?” Hazel didn’t seem to care all to much for Jaune and didn’t even bother to respond to her question. 

“I asked where is my stuff?” she asked again as she got up in his face. “Back away, the reeducation will begin shortly. “What are you…” Before Jaune could finish her sentence Hazel stepped away from the door right before it began to open up slowly. Jaune thought that this might be her chance to escape, but she was wrong.

When the door was fully opened she saw what opened it. Floating there in an ominous manor was what looked to be a jellyfish Grimm. As Jaune backed away she tripped on the rug and fell to the ground. The jellyfish Grimm then slowly began to float towards her. She tried to crawl away, but she soon realized that one of its tentacles had grabbed onto her leg and stopped her from moving.

“Please help!” Jaune begged Hazel for help, but he just stood there and did nothing. Another tentacle wrapped itself on Jaune’s other leg and at this point Jaune had started to fear for her life. “Please I don’t want to die, not here, not like this.”

Hazel had made his way to the door. “Don’t worry, it’s not here to kill you, in sense it’s here to reset you.” Hazel had begun to close the door and Jaune was freaking out. “What do you mean reset?” “You’ll see,” said Hazel as the door completely shut leaving Jaune alone with the jellyfish Grimm.

By the time Hazel left Jaune’s arms and legs were immobilized the remaining tentacles made their way to Jaune’s head. Jaune couldn’t help herself from crying as the tentacles then dug themselves into Jaunes head causing immense pain to surge through her body! 

“Jaune wanted to scream out in pain, but she found that there was no sound that could escape her mouth. She could no longer move any part of her body and she was no longer able to resist. Then out of nowhere images started to appear in her mind. 

At first she thought that they were just random memories of her childhood with her sisters, but she soon realized that she didn’t remember anything that the image was showing her. She could see scenes of herself playing around with a black haired girl and she herself was also aa female at this time.

Jaune didn’t know what this meant, was this fake or was this a surpassed memory? Eventually Jaune lost track of time and she was shown memory after memory, none of which she even remembered. It was as if this Grimm was trying to force feed her new memories. 

Jaune didn’t know when the jellyfish Grimm left, but when she opened her eyes she was once again laying down in the same bed. She felt someone stroking her head and found that it was the same woman in black from before.

“Did my child sleep well?” she asked with a soothing voice. “Get away from me you monster,” said Jaune as she slapped the woman’s hand away. “It’s okay, you must be in a state of shock after going through that.” “You’re the one that put me through that pain in the first place!” 

“I know, you must be angry, but as your mother I know what is best for you. You need to trust me and your big sister, we only want to help.” “You’ll never be my mother and she’ll never be my sister. You think that by giving me fake memories that I’ll give in and forget about my friends, well you’re wrong!”

“I promise you that you’ll eventually understand the truth, but until you recognize me as your mother and Cinder as your sister the pain will not stop. I do hope that you give in soon, but I also hope that you hold out as long as possible. My daughter should be strong enough to at least resist the reeducation for at least three to five times.”

“You’ll never break me,” Jaune said as the woman in black headed to the door. “That’s good, it’s more fun to see the strong break than the weak give in.”
