Struggling would soon be futile. There was no escape. Even thoughts of escape would soon be gone. Eventually, all thoughts would be gone.

And this time, it would be real.

Squirming in her now all-too-familiar changeling cocoon with only her face sticking out, Junebug could feel her whole body and face flush with nervous excitement. It was really happening! Cicada was going to hypnotize her! Make her stare into their eyes, feeling helpless and weak yet deep down wanting this. Take away her resistance, her mind, her will to resist. Make her think and feel and believe and do everything they said-

"Junebug? Junebug! Are you okay?"

"Huh?" Junebug blinked and realized that the changeling that would be hypnotizing her, the powerful, 'evil' changeling, was frowning, gently touching her face while shaking slightly.

"You zoned out and wouldn't respond! And you started thrashing around! Don't worry... I'm here..."

"N-no, I... I'm fine! I was just... thinking about something else!"

Cicada watched Junebug get even more flushed, her pale yellow coat practically turning red-orange. Their expression became neutral... then their mouth curled into a grin and their eyes narrowed - almost a leer.

"Something else, hmmm? I think I know exactly what you were thinking about.”

And Junebug thought she couldn't blush any deeper. "I... I just..."

"Shhhh.... good girl." That was enough to quiet her, minus a tiny squeak. "If you really want me to hypnotize you, you need to relax more. Now... do you remember what we talked about?"

The squirming slowed, then stopped. "Um... yeah. Safety stuff. I'm not going to be y-your... mindless slave.." She muttered under her breath about it being a hot fantasy, then spoke up again - "and you won't make me do stuff that would... not be right."

Cicada's grin widened. "I won't make you my mindless slave today" they teased, "though maybe someday I'll play with you in a way that is similar... if you'd like that." A squeak confirmed it. "Anyways, it isn't that I won't make you do 'stuff that would not be right' - though I never would anyways - I actually cannot do that. I'm not going to enthrall you with magic... overwrite your mind with my commands... completely and forever dominating you... oops... getting you worked up again, sorry~"

They were not sorry.

Once Junebug stopped squirming again, Cicada continued. "I will hypnotize you, however. Or attempt to. If you don't actually want it, it won't happen, and if no part of you wants anything I tell you, that won't happen either. Understand?"

"Yeah, yeah. But... what if I 'don't' want something, but want to want it?"

Cicada circles their 'prey' like a hungry shark. "Then deep down, you already did want it, didn't you, pet?"

"P-pet? I mean... I suppose you're right." She tried to turn her head to follow, but could not. She could only follow Cicada with her eyes.

"That's right... good girl... but maybe I shouldn't be teasing you so much. I think we are almost ready to begin."

The way Junebug reacted to being teased combined with her only being able to move her eyes gave Cicada a wicked idea. They left for only a moment - despite complaints by their captive - and returned with a mirror set up across from Junebug.

"What's that for," she asked, curiosity overruling frustration and desire just for the moment.

"It is so you can watch how blank and mindless you become, cutie." Cicada's teasing words were smooth and sweet, sending shivers down Junebug's spine.

But there was another reason for the mirror. The changeling around in front of their captive, wiggling their plot back and forth. They let their tail swish from side to side, while watching Junebug's flustered, enraptured look in the mirror.

"Hmmm… you can't keep your eyes off my beautiful butt," Cicada teased. "Nothing new there~"

Junebug giggled but could not deny that as her eyes traced the motion of their rear. "Veerry funny. If this is how you plan on hypnotizing me - "

"Then it is totally working, right? I already have your full attention. This might not be like your old fantasies of mind control - I bet you are imagining them all now - but I am sure you are getting new ones. I am not yet hypnotizing you, with my sexy sway. My perfect plot is just picking on you, not trancing you. But you must admit… sinking to my butt would be fun if that was how I did it~"

"Y-yes… I mean no! I mean… you… meanie!" That damned plot, making my confusion and arousal grow. If Cicada doesn't start hypnotizing me soon…

"Meanie? Teasing you about sinking deep into my spell, and hypnotizing you with my beautiful perfect ass as your eyes follow my sway is not mean. After all, I am just saying what you know you want, yes?"

Junebug sighed out a lazy, lusty "yeah…" Her hazy mind knew it was true. That… is what I want… wait… could that… really work?

"That's right… imagining dropping into hypnosis from my ass while also daydreaming about other hypnotic fantasies you might have. Like the swinging of a pendulum back… and forth… just like my tail, yes?"

"...yes…" Back and forth… it is like a… pendulum…

"Staring and following, while thinking about not thinking, maybe a spell slowly draining your mind and will. You could practically feel it if you imagined that, yes?"

"...yeess…" Slack-jawed, heavy-lidded, blank-eyed Junebug absorbed those words, relaxing more and more despite - or perhaps aided by - her lust.

"So focused on my words and voice, my ass and tail, your desires and fantasies, that you may simply-"

Cicada suddenly was facing Junebug, clapping their hooves together in front of her. "-zone out."

"Huh? What? What's happening?" Junebug blinked a few times and tried to get her focus back to the 'waking world.'

"I said you seemed to have started to zone out. You with me?"

"O-of course I'm with you," she snapped, eyes glancing away, unable to look Cicada in theirs. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"I was just-"

"No, you're right, Your Majesty. I'm sorry."

"I understand. It must have been frustrating with me teasing you so much. I forgive you. Anyways…" They trailed off expectantly.

Junebug squirmed within her cocoon. "Are you still going to hypnotize me, Your Majesty?"

Was that the flash of a smile on the changeling's face? No, it was the start of a sad sigh. "My dear Junebug… I'm sorry… I already tried to hypnotize you when I was teasing you. I thought my butt could actually do the trick."

"Seriously? You thought - you tried - you…. I can't be hypnotized that easily, Your Majesty!" She huffed and tried to turn her head away, but the encasement did not allow her to.

"You're right, I apologize… let's try again tomorrow if you are still up to it?"

"I am, Your Majesty. We both messed up today but tomorrow…"

"Okay. Follow me and we'll go get ice cream." Cicada began to wander away, leaving the struggling Junebug behind.

"Wait! Don't! I can't leave!"

Cicada turned around, a grin slowly forming. "Oh, why not?"

"You know why, Your Majesty!" Her struggling and wiggling and red-tinged frustration grew.

"Whatever could you mean?" Cicada's evil grin also grew.

"I'm still trapped in your… your… pod thing!"

"Are you suuuure?"

"Yes Your Majesty, do you think I'm an idiot?"

"No… no… I don't think you're an idiot… I think you're under my spell. You have been hypnotized after all!"

"No I wasn't!"

Cicada headed back to the helpless mare, and walked behind them. "Then I must have really special powers to do this!"

Junebug suddenly cried out. Somepony just slapped her ass! But that's impossible! I'm covered in a-

Her thought was interrupted by another slap to the ass. She let out a whining moan. She tried stifling it by biting her lip, but to no avail.

"What was that Junebug," Cicada teased. "I couldn't quite understand you."

"I don't know much about magic, Your Majesty, but that spell-"

Cicada had circled back around. "What spell are you referring to," they asked, looking her in the eyes.

"You… you know…" Junebug's eyes dart to the side. "The one that… felt like you were.. um… sp…"

"Spanking you? That was no spell." Cicada trailed their hoof down her chest - through the cocoon. "I really did it."

Junebug shivered at the feeling, eyes wide and breaths faster and heavier. "H-how?"

"Sshhh…. You'll figure it out… but for now…" Their mouth drew closer to hers, and their hoof kept traveling further down her body. "You can just enjoy my power over you."

"But Your Majes-mmmff!" Her words were interrupted with a sudden, deep kiss, and transformed into a moan as Cicada - somehow - reached through the cocoon to tease and play with her dripping cunt. The pod was no obstacle for their hoof, but for Junebug, it was completely solid. She quivered and writhed in torturous pleasure.

Cicada had her right where they wanted and would not let go until her folds were soaked and her body and mind melted from orgasm. And by her moans she is feeding them, and her bucking into her hoof, she must have been getting close.

Their tongues danced together as Cicada pressed her body through the cocoon and against Junebug's own trembling figure. They could sense it. They broke the kiss and whispered into her ear. "Figure it out yet?"

"Fi…figure what," she whimpered. "That I'm weak and horny for you, You…r M…m…majesty?"

"No… how I'm doing this."

"I… d-don't care… I… just need… need to…"

"Yes… so needy.. but… here's the secret… there is no cocoon."

"Wh… I don't… wait-"

But Cicada did not wait. They bit down on Junebug's neck, causing her whole body to spasm. Her hips shake even more as she floods their pleasuring hoof. Her mouth finally free, her moans could now escape loudly into the room.

"Good pet." Cicada's words triggered something in Junebug. As her climax faded, so too did the cocoon - as if it were never there. Suddenly Junebug felt so soft and fuzzy-headed, but at the same time, some memories came flooding back.

Being freed from the cocoon but not from Cicada's words.

Being told she was still in the cocoon.

Being told that calling them 'Your Majesty' was so easy… so natural… so automatic…

Being told to forget she was told.

"Thank youu… Cicada… it really worrrked…"

"You're very welcome. Now… lick my hoof clean." They lifted their soaked hoof up to her muzzle.

"Suure… sounds yummy…" She lazily yet eagerly grabs their messy front leg with hers and starts licking.

"Did you like being hypnotized?"

While slurping their hoof, she nodded slowly but exaggerated.

"Are you happy you are no longer hypnotized?"

"I… wish I… still.. waasss…" she admitted between licks.

Cicada easily pulls away, gliding their hoof across Junebug's entrance to wet their hoof once more. They lifted it to be licked once more. "You would like to be hypnotized?

"Mhm…!"

"Good news, you are still hypnotized!"

"Yaaay…!" She dreamily washes the hoof with her tongue, looking spaced out. "You're the bessst!"

"Even if I told you to… awaken?"

The fog lifted from Junebug's mind. She blinked once… then twice more… and again… before shaking the cobwebs from her head. Her blush from the beginning returned with a vengeance. "You! You made me… then… I can't believe you did that to me! That you made me do that! I -"

Suddenly, one again, Junebug was tightly trapped. Not by a cocoon or hypnosis, but by Cicada. "Oh no oh no I'm so sorry I did not mean to hurt you I thought you wanted this I'm sorry!"

"Wh-whoa! No… I… I did want this. It was… it was amazing! Intense but amazing! I'm… not mad. Just shocked. I did not… could not…" She squeezes back tightly. "Thank you so much…"

"Oh… oh… okay. Anytime, my Junebug."

"...how about tomorrow?"
