Maggie tried to enjoy her day, but as the hour approached for the lottery to be played fear began to envelope her. She could see the fear in the eyes of each adult and it only made her feel worse. She felt especially sorry for those who already had children and she was grateful that she did not have any.
Each adult had to take part in the lottery up to the age of 45 when the Watchers allowed the person to remove their name from the list of participants if they so desired. Maggie could not wait until she reached that age… If she reached that age.
Maggie heard the sounding of the bells which signified that all of the adults should gather in the center of the park. The children continued with their games, playing and enjoying the food that had been provided while the adults gathered for the drawing.
In order to be fair, each person had been given a stone with a number on it. Their name had been assigned to that number and would be until they were able to withdraw from the lottery or until they were chosen. It was their job to take care of the stone and bring it with them each year.
As everyone lined up Maggie rubbed her stone. It was smooth and the numbers on it were coated in pure gold. She remembered a story that her parents had told her about how at one time people used gold to pay for the things they needed. She smiled as she thought about a time when people used a silly rock to buy the things they needed. Gold had no value any longer as it was abundant on the Watchers planet now everyone had everything they needed provided by the Watchers and they were assigned jobs.
“Welcome to the Choosing,” a man stated as he stood on the stage in front of Maggie, “I hope you have enjoyed the festivities of the day and that you continue to do so. As you know, each year we choose one of our own to become servants to our providers, the Watchers.”
The crowd began to cheer and Maggie looked down at the ground. She prayed that she could go home safe that night, but something inside was telling her otherwise.
“This year our lucky winner is number 5842,” the announcer said.
Maggie looked down at her rock and froze. The gold glistened back at her and her breath caught in her throat.
“Number 5842 please make your way to the stage,” the announcer asked as everyone looked around.
Maggie tried to take a step forward, but she could not move. The world spun around her and suddenly everything went black. The next thing that she knew was that she was on stage and everyone around her was cheering. She was being held up by a few of the men in the community and everything was blurred. She could only make out shapes and no details.
“Number 5842,” the announcer said above the cheering crowd, “congratulations.”
Maggie was taken to the back of the stage and sat in a chair. One of the men gave her a glass of water and she could hear the announcer telling everyone to enjoy the rest of their day. As Maggie took a drink of her water, she looked around and realized she was no longer sitting behind the stage, but in a metallic looking room sitting on a hard metal chair. There were others in the room and as her vision began to return to normal she could tell that some looked as confused as she did while others looked happier than they had ever been.
Maggie felt as if she were in a dream and did her best to focus on what was really going on. It was difficult for her to understand that she was no longer on Earth that all of this really was real. A man walked into the room and Maggie could tell that he was a Watcher by the color of his eyes. Unlike humans, Watchers eyes were completely white. They had to iris and no pupil.
He walked around the room looking at all the women and telling several to stand. When he got to Maggie he told her to stand and she did as she was told. Once he had looked at all of the women he told them to follow him. No one dared to argue or ask any questions. They all simply fell into line and followed the Watcher.
Each of them was led to a separate room that contained nothing more than a table. The Watcher left Maggie in the room she had been led to and she began to look around. The room was cold, it was made of mostly metal as was the table. It was dimly lit and made her feel as if she were in a cage.
Maggie passed around the room not sure what she should do, but it was not long before the same Watcher opened the door again. “Remove your clothes,” he said flatly staring at Maggie. She knew that she had no choice and did as she was told. Once all of her clothes had been removed, she placed them on the table only to be surprised by the Watcher picking them up and leaving the room once again.
Maggie shivered as the cold air kissed her skin. She wanted to be home, she wanted more than anything to feel the sunshine. She wanted to wake up from this terrible nightmare. Tears began to roll down Maggie’s cheeks, but she did not have time to focus on the way she was feeling. A small door slid open on the side of the wall and as Maggie peered in she realized what she was looking at. Crawling into the room through the small door was what appeared to be some type of huge spider.
Maggie screamed in fear, she knew this creature was going to kill her. She tried to understand why the Watchers would bring her to their planet only to feed her to this creature. Once the large creature was in the room Maggie realized that what she was looking at was a Watcher in its natural form. It had six legs a large body and a tail that was as wide as her wrist and reminded her of a scorpion, although there was no stinger at the end liquid seeped from the end of the tail.
Maggie pushed herself as far back into the corner as she could. Her heart began to pound as she watched the creature raise up on its legs. Maggie quickly turned her body so that she was facing the wall. She had no way to defend herself from this creature and knew her life would be coming to an end quickly.
The Watcher quickly pounced on Maggie which caused her to slam hard against the wall. She could feel its legs wrapping around her body and it felt as if she had walked into a thorn bush. She looked down and saw spikes coming out of the Watchers legs and sliding into her skin. The creature had placed itself around her hips and had knocked her onto her hands and knees.
Maggie suddenly began to feel the tail of the creature sliding up and down her slit causing her to quickly become wet. It did not matter how scared she was or how much she tried to control her own body, she could not deny the pleasure she felt each time the creature's tail hit her clit. Maggie took a deep breath, trying to calm her body and focus on anything other than the pleasure she was feeling. She tried to focus on how ugly the creature was but it did not work. Her body was reacting to being touched and there was no changing that fact.
The tail slid up her stomach and slipped over her nipple causing it to quickly harden. It felt as if she were being caressed by this monster that was bringing her so much pain and so much pleasure at the same time. She could feel the sweat beading on her forehead and before it dripped into her eyes the creature used its tail to wipe it away.
Maggie began to feel as if she were being cared for by the creature, but when she tried to stand it gripped her hard with its legs causing the spikes to burrow deeper into her flesh. Maggie screamed in pain as she was forced back onto her hands and knees.
The creature resumed sliding its tail over her clit, causing it to swell. Her juices began dripping down her leg and she felt something large pressing against her opening. This time she knew it was not the tail because it was busy teasing her clit. She knew this creature was going to breed her right then. Maggie began to struggle against the Watcher not willing to allow it inside of her body. It was forbidden for humans to have sex unless they were married, this was the law the Watchers had enforced. Maggie had never been married and she had dreamed of the day her husband would make love to her. This was not what she had envisioned and she was not willing to give up without a fight.
Maggie tried to squeeze her muscles tight, refusing the creature entrance, but it seemed to only anger it. Soon it was pumping forcefully against her and forcing its spikes further into her flesh. Maggie realized that she had been holding her breath and when she let it out all of her muscles began to relax as she took another bre
ath the creature was able to penetrate her slightly. She could feel her body stretching around this creature’s shaft as it pulsated inside of her.
The Watcher slowly slid itself all the way inside of Maggie and she was thankful that it took its time. It seemed as if it did not want to hurt her, but she knew that could not be true because of the blood that dripped from the cuts on her legs. Maggie knew this was her fate. She had ‘won’ the lottery and no matter how hard she fought there was nothing she could do. She remembered her mother telling her that the Watchers would dispose of those that they were not satisfied with and Maggie decided to relax and allow the creature to do what it wanted.
She also had to admit that it felt amazing to have this creature inside of her. She was sure that human men did not pulsate as they made love and each time the creature’s shaft swelled and contracted she moaned in pleasure. The creature still working at her clit with its tail began to loosen its grip on her thighs as she began to relax. Once she began to relax it did not take long before she was on the verge of ecstasy. Maggie through her head back as pleasure flooded her body. She could feel her pussy walls tightening against the creature’s shaft as she moaned in pleasure. The creature’s pumping began to quicken and she could feel its hot fluid filling her.
As the creature began to slow its pace it began gently sliding the spikes on its legs out of Maggie’s thighs and placing them back onto the floor. Once all of its legs were on the floor it slid its shaft out of her and Maggie turned to look at the creature. Her eyes immediately went to what had just been inside of her. Glistening with her fluids she could not believe that something that enormous had been inside of her body.
The creature reached forward with its tail and traced the blood that was drying on Maggie’s thighs as if it were apologizing for causing her pain. Maggie looked at the creature and tried to force a forgiving look on her face but she struggled. She could not get past the fact that what was standing before her looked like the most terrifying spider she had ever encountered in her life. As if the creature could read her mind it quickly pulled its tail away from her thigh and walked back toward the door. The door opened as the creature approached it and without looking back the creature was gone.
Maggie sat on the floor the liquid that the creature had filled her with dripping out of her body, and took a deep breath. She prayed silently that it was all a terrible nightmare and that she would wake up soon but she knew she would not.
The large door open and in stepped a Watcher in human form. He looked at Maggie with disgust and told her to stand. Maggie had not up until that point realized how weak she was and how sore the creature had made her body. Its fluids mixed with her own dripped down her legs with small drops of blood from her thighs as she tried to stand. Another Watcher walked into the room, this one did not seem as cold as the first. His eyes were full of compassion.
“I told them it was too much for humans,” he said, looking at the first Watcher. He walked over to Maggie and helped her to her feet. Her legs were weak and she struggled to hold up her own weight. She was thankful for this Watcher even if she knew that underneath he was nothing more than another terrifying creature.
He helped Maggie to a bathroom and told her that she could clean her wounds there. The other Watcher never said a word, but kept his head bowed the entire time. Maggie wondered who this Watcher was that demanded so much respect, but was still so gentle. She looked at him and began to cry. She knew she could not spend the rest of her life like this and she knew that if she did not her life would be very short.
“Leave us,” the gentle Watcher said to the other one.
The Watcher walked out of the room and closed the door. “My name is Ureial,” the Watcher said as he walked to the large tub in the corner of the room and turned the water on. “Why do you cry,” he asked, looking at her confused, “did he not bring you any pleasure?”
Maggie was amazed at how creatures who were known for being so smart could be so stupid. “I suppose he did,” she answered between sobs.
“Do your cuts hurt,” he asked, “I told them not to use the spikes.”
“My legs are sore but they will heal,” Maggie replied, looking down at her thighs.
“Then what is it?”
Maggie could tell that he was genuinely confused and she did not know how to explain to him how she was feeling. There was a part of Maggie that feared angering Ureial but there was another part of her that did not care. A part that hoped that he would just end her life and she would never have to see one of those monsters again.
“Why do you do this,” she asked as she watched him run her a bath. Ureial walked over to her and helped her into the tub. The hot water stung her cuts, but it also helped her muscles to relax.
“What do you mean,” he asked once she had sat down in the water, “why do we bring you here?”
“That,” she began, “and why do you insist on torturing humans for your own pleasure? Why can’t you just leave us on our own planet and let us enjoy our lives?”
“You do understand that if it were not for us, your planet would have fallen apart,” he asked, “we saved your people.” He reached for a wash cloth and began lathering it with soap.
“You saved us so that you could force us to come to your planet, work for you and die in your science experiments,” Maggie asked looking deep into his eyes. He seemed so different from the other Watchers. The other Watchers that Maggie had come into contact with seemed cold and uncaring, but there was something in Urieal’s eyes that told Maggie that he cared.
“Many years ago we came to your planet,” Urieal began to explain, “many of our men fell in love with human females. There were children born, but these children did not live more than a few months. They took the form of humans, but had the intelligence of Watchers. They were stronger than humans and larger as well. These are what you have called giants in your history books.”
Maggie listened to his story, as he spoke, he began washing her body. He was gentle and caring with his touch making sure that he did not cause her any pain.
“We taught humans, many things. Things like how to make medicine, how to build large buildings, we taught them of science and even about astronomy. As more and more of the human women began falling in love with our men, human men became angry. This caused a war between that Watchers and the humans. That was when we left,” Urieal continued, “when we decided to return it was only because there was no way that the human race could survive without us intervening. It is now forbidden for any of the Watchers to go to Earth and mate with women, but we are still attracted to you.”
Maggie could tell by the way Urieal spoke that he was telling the truth. What she did not understand was that none of this was in her history books. It was if the visit from the Watchers had been hidden from all of the generations that came after them.
“We still want to find a way to cross our genes, we want to take on the form of humans in fact, you will find that most of the Watchers will take on that form and not our natural form. More importantly, we want for this new hybrid to have our intelligence, our strength, and we want to get rid of human weaknesses,” Urieal went on with his explanation. He was gently washing Maggie’s thighs and she could tell from the bulge in his pants that he was enjoying bathing her just as much as she was enjoying it.
She had laid back in the tub by then and was relaxing as he pampered her. “There are those of us who were there when we first came to your planet, those of us who know what love for a human is even if it is forbidden. Then there are those like the one you just met, young Watchers who do not understand what love is,” Urieal looked at her gently, “I hope this helps you to understand.”
Maggie’s head was spinning. It had not helped her to understand anything but had only caused her to have more questions for him. “I don’t understand,” she began, but Urieal stopped her. He stood up and offered her his hand. She took it and stood. Urieal helped her out of the tub and began drying her body.
&nbs
p; “I am sure you have a lot of questions, but they will have to wait. You need to eat and then you need to rest. I have some business to attend to then I will check on you,” he said gently. He wrapped Maggie in a soft towel and led her out of the room.
The other Watcher was gone and for that Maggie was thankful. Urieal lead her down the long metallic hallway and after making several turns he opened a large door. When Maggie stepped inside she was amazed by what she saw. There was no more metal, but beautiful dark wooden walls, a large four poster bed sat in the middle of the room and everything seemed to be trimmed in gold.
The room was warm and comforting. On one side of the room was a large table covered in food of every kind. Maggie suddenly realized just how hungry and tired she really was. Urieal walked over to one of the bedside tables and open the draw taking out a small tube he walked back over to Maggie.
He removed her towel and got down on his knees in front of her. Maggie looked down at Urieal afraid that he was in fact just like the other Watchers and was going to take her right then. Instead, he opened the tube and put a bit of the contents on his finger, then rubbed it on her wounds. When he was finished, he stood, “I will talk with the other Watchers and ensure this does not happen to anyone else ever again,” he said with a gentle smile.
Maggie nodded his head as Urieal handed her the tube. He walked to the door and let himself out. Maggie walked over to the table and was glad to see that it had vegetables, meats, fruits, cheeses and even cakes. She ate her fill and drank the ice cold water that was provided in a pitcher. Once she had eaten her fill she walked over to the bed, she was still naked and she wished that Urieal had provided her with something to wear but was not going to complain.
Maggie crawled into the bed and was asleep within minutes. She dreamed of being in the sun back on her own planet with her own people. She was happy and everything was back to normal…
