Betty cleared her throat and then did what she had to do to protect herself and Barsork. “Barsork abducted me too,” she blurted before she had time to consider anything else. Kristin looked at her hesitantly her face shifting slightly. “Alright, I’m listening,” she said.
Betty started pacing slowly back and forth, something she used to do when studying for an exam. This time the exam could affect the lives of herself and the man she loved.
“Barsork stalked me on Earth and claims to have fallen in love with me. When he abducted me, it was without his brother’s consent and now Carzon is sending hunters after us.
“I don’t really love Barsork, but I have to play along because he’s the only protection I have against getting sold. I know it’s wrong, but I was so scared I didn’t know what else to do. Now that I have found you, I want to get away from him.”
Kristin’s face softened and she placed a slender finger on Betty’s shoulder. “I’m sorry I doubted you, Betty. It must be terrible to be so close to him just to stay alive. We have all one things that we wish we would not have had to do. We will help you.”
At first, Betty felt relieved that her story had been believed, but then she realized that she may have inadvertently placed Barsork in more danger.
Kristin kissed Betty on the cheek. “Don’t worry, we will keep you safe. I will need to share this information with Elena though. She is the smartest when it comes to the hunters. She will know what is best. Please allow us time to talk and then we will tell you what we have decided.”
Betty nodded, grateful that she would not be forced to retell her story of partial lies for the time being. Kristin walked Betty back to the small shelter and left her there alone while she went to talk to Elena and the other girls.
After a while, Betty couldn’t stand the suspense anymore and snuck out to go listen in on what was being said about her, and Barsork. Laying low in the grass she shimmied forward hiding behind one of the closer shelters. She could just barely make out the conversation. It sounded like Elena.
“How do we know her story is true? She could be working with him to bring us back. Just because she looks human doesn’t mean she is. We’ve been fooled by that before.”
Kristin’s high voice answered, “I don’t know, Elena. If she is telling the truth than we have to help her. We can’t leave her in the middle of a war between those two brothers over who gets to have her.”
Elena seemed to think things over and Betty held her breath. “I don’t like taking such a risk when we’ve come so far, but if she is telling the truth she could be a useful ally. When is the next check-in?”
Betty didn’t know what a check in was and she shimmied a tad closer. “Two days from now. Do you think we can wait that long?” Kristin asked.
“I don’t know. But I think we need a backup plan. I don’t like Barsork knowing how to get to us. He could bring the hunters at any time. If he really is being chased then we need to take him out before he can take us out.
“I think it’s time we make a deal with the hunters. Then when Barsork is out of the picture we can figure out whether to risk helping Betty. For now, let’s keep this to ourselves though. If she is with him, we don’t want her tipping him off.”
Betty had heard enough and didn’t want to risk getting caught so she slowly crawled away from the clearing and made her way back to the small hut. When Kristin came in a little later, Betty pretended to be surprised and grateful that they were going to let her stay. She kept the knowledge of their plans to herself.
She needed to figure out a plan that would keep everyone alive and safe, but first she had to buy time. Barsork was in the most immediate danger, and Betty knew what the hunters would do if they found him.
“I want to help!” Betty said out loud. “I know a way to tip off the hunters without risking exposure.”
Just then Elena stepped into the tent. “So, Betty. How exactly do you plan on talking to a hunter without getting caught? Unless, of course, you are already working with them.”
Betty shook her head back and forth. “No, look Barsork has many friends on this planet and a lot of power. In the space we share he has a phase scanner. It lets me change into anything I want. I can disguise myself.”
“That’s true. The first time I saw her she looked like an alien,” Kristin blurted trying to come to her friend’s defense.
Elena grunted. “Go on.”
“Well, Barsork is going to the trading station today to find a ship and he won’t be back for a long time. I can sneak out and use the phase scanner and then go tell the hunters where Barsork will be. This way, the hunter won’t know I am human, and you won’t be exposed.”
Elena seemed to be thinking things over slowly. At last she spoke. “How do we know you won’t simply run to Barsork and turn us in? Why don’t you simply give us directions and we can go use this Phase scanner?”
Betty thought quickly. “It’s too dangerous. If Barsork comes back early and catches you, he will kill you on the spot. But if he comes back and finds me he will think he has me back and will be happy. I can get close to him without suspicion. Please trust me.”
Elena sighed and pressed the tips of her fingers to the side of her head. At last she nodded her head somewhat reluctantly. “Alright, Betty. We will give you this chance to redeem yourself. If this works we will owe you a great debt.”
Elena kissed Betty on her cheeks. “I will send Kristin to lead you out of our hideout. You have six hours. If you are not back by then, we will have to assume the worst.”
Betty returned the kisses and smiled. “I will be back, you have my word.” She turned quickly and left the hut and then stood at the door listening.
“Follow her, Kristin. I want to know everywhere she goes, and everything she does, and make sure to take her out the main entrance where she came in. I don’t want her to know about the secret exit just yet.”
Betty stepped away from the door and pretended to be deep in examination of a purple and gold flower growing on a tree. When Kristin came out, the two headed off toward the exit and Betty put her mind to figuring out how to get rid of Kristin.
A short while later, they came upon the strange entrance and Betty could clearly see the backside of the fruit stand. Kristin put her hands on Betty’s arm. “I just want you to know that I believe you,” Kristin said softly. “I know Elena can be harsh sometimes, but it’s only because she cares so much.”
Betty nodded. “I understand. Thank you for believing me, Kristin.”
Kristin suddenly took a step forward pressing herself tightly to Betty’s body. Kristin’s small perky breast pushed against Betty’s larger breast and Betty froze uncertain as to what was happening. At first she thought that Kristin might be trying to tell her something secret.
Kristin leaned forward some more and the suddenly Betty was being kissed. Kristin’s tongue pushed against Betty teeth and she was so surprised she didn’t know what to do. She felt Kristin’s hand slide down her pants and Betty pulled away.
Kristin looked heartbroken for a moment and then her face flushed and she began apologizing. “I’m sorry. I just, I thought that maybe you, you’re so pretty and I…”
Kristin trailed off unable to complete her sentences as she fumbled for an explanation. Betty grabbed Kristin’s hands gently. “It’s okay, Kristin. I’m not angry, just surprised. I’m sorry if I led you to believe that I liked women in that way.”
Kristin flushed an even brighter shade of red. “I should have asked,” she mumbled.
Betty chuckled. “I think that there’s someone a little closer to you who is interested,” she said winking at Kristin. Betty really did like these women and she didn’t want to see any more harm come to them. She hoped she was able to keep everyone safe.
Kristin’s eyes grew big and round. “Really, who?” she asked curiously. Betty smiled. “Elena, you fool. Can’t you see the way she looks at you and how she cares about what you think?”
Kristin smi
led. “Elena, huh.”
Betty laughed again and then kissed Kristin softly on the lips as a friend. She wanted to assure Kristin that there were no hard feelings. “I’d better get going, I only have six hours.”
Kristin smiled and scanned the area before opening the way for Betty to step through. “I’ll be waiting here when you get back,” Kristin said even though Betty knew that she had instructions to follow.
Betty stepped out into the market and began making her way through the crowd looking for a way to get rid of Kristin who was trailing not far behind. She also had to get back to the hideout before being spotted by one of the hunters since she wasn’t in disguise.
When she turned the corner she bumped right into a muscular wall and felt herself grabbed forcefully from behind. Her breath caught in her throat as she struggled to get away.
Chapter Sixteen
Betty
When Betty looked up she felt relief flood over her. “Barsork, you scared me.”
“Sorry,” he whispered. “I have to get you out of here, there’s a hunter trailing you.”
Betty tried not to look around as Barsork held her to him closely. “One of the girls is following me too,” she whispered. “We need to get rid of her, but I don’t want anything to happen to her.”
Barsork nodded. “Come on, I found a back way to the hideout. We should be able to lose both tails on the way.”
Before Betty could utter another word, Barsork was pulling her along at an incredibly fast pace. At times she wasn’t even sure her feet were touching the ground they were moving so quickly.
A few times she was able to twist her head to glance behind, but if anyone were still following she couldn’t see them. Finally, Betty recognized the shimmering sounds of the waterfall that she and Barsork had visited on their first day.
How they had come out on this side from the market she wasn’t sure, but Barsork seemed to know exactly what he was doing.
“I hope you’re ready to get wet. We’ve got to swim under the waterfall.”
Betty looked at him apprehensively, but had no time to protest as he literally dragged her under the water. She barely had enough time to take a breath.
Under the water, he led her below the flowing stream of water and when she came up behind she was surprised to find that they were in a large hollowed out cave. Barsork carefully helped to pull her up out of the water and then pushed a small rock on the side of the cave. Betty heard a soft click and raised her head questioningly.
Barsork shrugged. “Part of my work here was creating hideouts. I know some by heart, and some I know by reputation. Others I can usually figure out with enough time. This one I built myself though.
“The waterfall entrance was a safety net I put in that only opens from one side. To trigger it, you have to swim a particular pattern under the fall itself. Even if someone suspected a secret entrance, which would be highly unlikely, they would never figure out how to get in. No one can see us, no one can hear us, and no one can find us.”
Betty, still wet from the swim threw herself into his strong arms and kissed him passionately. She hadn’t wanted to admit how much she had missed him, but now that they were alone she couldn’t resist. Barsork pulled her clothes off with fierce need as she undid his pants and slid them down.
His strong hands grabbed her by her bottom and lifted her up, placing her down on his massively erect penis. Betty wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist as he slid into her with a loud groan. For the first time since they had been together, Betty knew that he was taking what he needed from her, and she was happy to give it. She slid over him harder and harder pulling his cock deep inside her until she felt his massive balls pressing against her pussy.
Her fingers clawed down his back, leaving deep gashes in his tattooed blue skin. The pain seemed to entice him even more and he turned pressing her against the side cave wall and burying his shaft in her with a mighty and ferocious howl.
Betty had never seen him this way and for some reason even though she felt that she should be afraid, she felt almost intoxicated by him. She had never seen him need something so badly. The look in his eyes was of lust and desire in a way she had never seen before.
Suddenly she understood the driving force behind his intensity, the real reason that he felt the need to explode in her with such heat and violence. As he pounded her so hard, she felt the breath rushing from her lungs, Betty reached her hand up to his shoulder and began tenderly touching him. Her lips touched his neck where she could feel his raised tendons.
She trailed soft kisses around him and whispered soothingly in his ear, “I love you, Barsork. Everything is ok.” Her words seemed to reach a deep place in him and he blinked several times as if unsure of his actions. She felt him begin to pull away as if in shame and she pressed herself further down on him.
“Don’t you dare!” she said seriously. “I’m here with you right now and I want you to take me. Fill your desires with me, Barsork.”
His face took on a look of torment and then with a loud piercing wail he began thrusting in her again with such force that she was sure she would split in two. She clung to him, her nails digging into his flesh, her teeth biting into his shoulder as she screamed against him. She felt herself spew her liquid juices over his steel rod and her legs gripped him harder.
Always before they had made love, passionate love to be sure, but this was something else entirely. This was animalistic, raw, fierce, and undeniable need. His throat made low growling sounds as his hands latterly thrust her down around his stiffness.
Her own screams filled the cavern with echoing sounds of pleasure, pain, and abandon. Over and over she covered his cock with slick juices and each time he howled and expanded further inside her.
The whole experience may have lasted hours, or merely seconds because time seemed to stand still in the breath of their fire for each other. When Barsork released himself into her it was as if someone had popped the cork of a champagne bottle inside her.
The amount of his seed that flooded into her was a stream of such pressure and speed that she could trace the flow of his semen as it trailed through her body in wave upon wave, as his thick manhood continued to pump load upon load.
“Barsork,” she cried against his shoulder. For some reason she could not express she was suddenly overcome with emotions and her body shook uncontrollably with her sobs. Even as he comforted her, she could still feel him releasing himself into her. There seemed to be no end in sight for how much he had. She never wanted him to let go.
“My Betty, my Betty,” he whispered against her as his cock expelled the last remnants of himself.
She held tightly to him as she sobbed feeling that she was saying goodbye. “Barsork, you have to get out of here,” she said at last. “I lied and told them you had abducted me and they are going to turn you in to the hunters.”
Barsork rubbed her hair and held her tightly. “Shhh,” he whispered against her. “Everything is going to be okay, my love. I will not let you be harmed.”
Betty raised her head to look him in the eyes and then smacked him. “You big oaf, haven’t you been listening? I turned you in. I lied to save myself, they will be coming for you, not me.”
Barsork set her down on the cave floor gently his eyes holding a hint of fierceness.
“Betty, you did what you had to do and I hold no malice for you in that. Do you feel you should be punished in some way, is that it? I seduced you, and abducted you, Betty.
“I stole you from your home and your family, and your friends and I put you in danger. That I did it to try to save you from a darker fate does not matter. That I did it because I love you does not matter. The fact is, that if I had not come into your life, you would never have been in this trouble to begin with.”
Betty felt herself overcome with emotions that she could not identify and could not control. With a howl of fury she lunged at him and began pounding her fists against his muscled chest. Tears
flowed down her eyes as she banged on him, but still he continued.
“Those women in there are right to hate me, Betty. You would be right to hate me. There is no amends I can make that will ever erase the pain suffered by my own actions. I do not care what my fate holds for me, for it is a deserved fate. I care only that you are safe and well and whole.”
Betty lunged at him again, her nails digging at his flesh as she screamed in rage and wailed her fist against him. “You stupid fool!” she screamed. “Your fate matters to me! You talk as though leaving me means nothing to you. You make me love you! You make me need you! You make me feel safe! And then you throw it all away like it was trash. Is that what I am to you, Barsork?”
He grabbed her fist in his hands having not even flinched as she raged against him. Now he pulled her tight and held her as she shook with angry tears of love, and sadness.
“My Betty, I will never leave you while I have breath in me. You must know that. But I know now what I must do to right the wrongs done at my hand. Your love has shown me the way and I must not turn aside from the path or never again could I look you in the eyes.
“You asked me once if I knew the ways those girls were treated and I said no. In part that was the truth, but in part it was a lie. I know my brother, Carzon. I know how black his heart is.
“I did not want to see because he is my brother, because he is my flesh, because he is my king. I helped him to save myself, and because I feared him. These women are but a few, Betty. It was you who showed me what strength is and you who showed me how to fight.
“I must stop Carzon from harming any more women. This is the only way. I must claim the right of contest as I once said that I would if his words and deeds proved false.”
Chapter Seventeen
Betty
Betty shuddered at the sound of his words. “Barsork I know I said I wanted you to help, but I did not mean by going against your brother. I would die if anything happened to you.
