New ending for the Story of O- Forlorn and heartbroken, after Sir Stephen gave his assent for O to kill herself, she decided to commit suicide in Germany, far from France. She sells everything she has and buys a train ticket- and a complete set of the lingerie she was forbidden to wear by Sir Stephen. On the train she experiments with crossing her legs, but finds it too uncomfortable with the irons that run through her labia. Suddenly both angry and still depressed, she flings herself from the train. O is found later that day by a blacksmith passing by on his way home from a neighboring town. She is unconcious but alive, so he lifts her into is truck and takes her to his shop, where he also lives. He noticed the chain when he picked her up, and, horrified, thinks she must have been a victim of forced slavery. He decides to remove the chain with a large file he used regularly in his work.

O awakens mid-removal, but is so conditioned to submit to anything that she lays there dully while the blacksmith, embarrassed but determined, finishes the job. Afterwards, he gets her some fresh juice and milk and sets her in his bed to sleep, alone and dressed. O has odd dreams, and when she awakens a second time able to move her legs against one another she finds she cannot stop doing so. O knows a little German, and when the blacksmith asks her name she tells him.

Ophelia recuperates at the blacksmith's home for the rest of the week, at the end of which he tells her he has found her a job and place to stay. Curious, she agrees to his unknown plan and is soon moved into a house with a slightly older couple. They run a small family farm and have their hands full raising to rambunctious three-year-old twin boys. The language difference makes questions difficult, and Ophelia helps wrangle the boys and do housework.

Two months later she is much stronger, and although she appreciates kids she realizes that is not the life for her. Ophelia requests apprenticeship with the blacksmith. Astonished, he refuses her at first, saying the work is too heavy and hard. This makes Ophelia laugh to herself, he has no idea what she has been through, hard heavy work is what she craves. He finally gives in. Ophelia works with the blacksmith for two years, transforming her body into one of hard smooth muscle. As capable as she is, the blacksmith decides he needs a male helper. They understand each other well by now, and Ophelia has told him of her previous career as a fashion photographer.

Gift of a new camera in hand, a different Ophelia returns to France. Part two coming soon!
