"They led me through the dark and quiet house to the conservatory in the back. Inside was a million dollar indoor swimming pool with the fines tiles, wood, and art work. When I arrived it was almost too dark to see but my senses told me that there were others there. The lights came up slowly and I was shocked to see that the pool was ringed by sixteen girls in the same robes."
She drank half of her glass of wine in one pull and set it down on the side of the tub. "They were all standing an equal distance from each other and facing away from the water. There were four girls on each side and their heals were right up to the edge of the bull-nose concrete coping that touched the black water."
"I was led to a chair at the end of the pool that had the little cabana and the other three girls came in. There were twenty of them all dead silent and dressed exactly the same. Their faces and hair was exposed but the stern expressions on their faces made them all look very similar."
She lay back in the water so that her hair was wet and her naked legs were now intertwined with mine. She looked up at the distant ceiling and smiled.
"I suppose you think this is pretty whacky don't you?" She asked.
"Noooo" I assured her. "I am on pins and needles. I want to find out if you had to take off your little negligee and put on a blue robe ... or stand there naked among the other girls."
"Oh, I wish it was that easy. The lead girl told me that I was being considered for a secret society that would change my life. I was going to be given a little information at a time and based upon my answers and my own free will; I would either go to the next step or be rejected."
She told me that I had to be 100% clear that I was not obligated to stay or to do ANYTHING that I didn't want to. I said that I understood. Then she told me that every thing I was going to hear was secret whether or not I was accepted. I told her that I understood that as well.
The first thing she said was this; you are in the midst of the coven of the blue witches. We are a two hundred year old society mad up only of women. No man may join but men may know about us if one of us chooses to tell him.
We wear blue to signify our reverence of water. We wear only the single robe to show that we are ready to be immersed in water at any time. And finally we must pass a series of 'tests' that involve our beloved water in order to become worthy to be in the coven.
She went on, "Are you willing to learn more or are you unable to accept our offer of lifetime membership."
I told her that I was willing to learn more. I was a member of the swim team, an avid snorkeler, and just plain loved the water so this had a great deal of fascination for me.
She looked up at me lying there, "do you like this story?" Yes I did.
The first thing she told me was to remove my clothes. I did that without hesitation since I assumed they were going to throw me in the pool. They did not do that.
She asked how I felt. I told her 'fine'
Next she told me to pick any girl there and walk over and put my hand on her shoulder. I randomly picked a girl that I didn't know and touched her. The girl nodded and unbuttoned her robe and let it drop to the pools edge. Unsurprisingly she was naked under the robe.
Then she told me to put my hand in the water. I bent over exposing my goodies to the girls behind me and did. The water was nice and warm.
She asked me. Would I like to swim in the sacred waters? I told her that I would. She told me to not do so at this time yet.
