I closed my eyes and tried to listen to what Inda was showing me. I felt a guard come in and take my tray away and then my attention was drawn to a man on the floor above me. I followed his progress as he went down some stairs into that open area I had already noted and made his way to me. He opened the door and stood still for a bit. My eyes were still closed but I suspected he was staring at me, assessing me. Then he walked to the other chair.
Andi informed me that this was Mr Smith and he was in charge. She also let me know that another vehicle had arrived with more men. She let me know Davina was getting closer but would need to approach cautiously. Inda was communicating with Andi about the locations of guards and Andi was passing on that information, but Davina wouldn't be in a position to do anything for at least a couple of hours.
Mr Smith leaned forwards. I still had my eyes shut, just trying to take in all the information that I was receiving. I sensed some movement from him and then felt this sharp pain as the bastard slapped me. I opened my eyes and stared at him as I seethed in anger.
Chapter 19
“I'm glad I have your attention, Mrs Dione. I need you to be a good girl and cooperate with me. I could tell you that we have Vee in custody and we would do horrible things to her, but she is not in my personal hands and I like to only make threats or more accurately, promises that I can personally ensure are going to happen.”
I got a quick assurance from Andi that Vee was still free. The rush of fear that I initially felt was really unpleasant. What I needed right now was more time. “What do you want?”
“I will come to that. I just want you to know that I am a man of my word. When I say something, I mean it. I don't threaten, I promise. Why am I saying these things? Well, Professor Baldwin clearly states that your abilities are all coming from you. In theory, you should be able to heal people and bring them back to their prime without turning them into women. To my mind, to achieve that all you need is motivation and I am going to provide that.
“I believe that the number of transformations was never increased. At the moment we can only connect eight headsets together and after one two hour session, it is automatically locked out for twenty-four hours, or more accurately twenty-two since the timer starts from activation. Our experts are working on taking away the lockout, that way you can do multiple sets of two hours. However, that is for the future.
“In the meantime, you are going to be working on transforming men into super soldiers. Let me be clearer, you will transform them into male super soldiers. I have carefully chosen seven men who, for one reason or another, would be forced to retire shortly.”
“Why would I?”
“Good. Not, I notice, I can't, but why? As I said all you need is motivation. Now, remember, I don't threaten, I promise. Unfortunately, I am under orders to make it look like you have not been harmed. There are however many things we can do that will leave no visible sign. You are an attractive woman.” He dropped his gaze to give my breasts a good slow looking over. The table was blocking him from seeing further, but he was making a point. “I'm sure it has been too long since you have enjoyed the company of a good man, or maybe I should say, men.”
I had to close my eyes. He probably thought he had scared me. In fact, I was trying to calm down Andi and Inda. Andi kept on sending me these images of electrocuting penises, making them shrivel up and turn black. I almost started laughing, because if anyone tried to rape me they were going to be in for a rude shock. I was just barely able to control myself to keep from bursting out into laughter at the images Andi was sending me. “You say you are a man of your word. Please be specific. Are you offering to take me out on a date?”
“No, you stupid bitch, if you don't succeed, you are going to be raped in every hole, by every man on this site. Then you might try a bit harder the next time. Is that specific enough?”
In one respect this was perfect. They would leave me alone for two hours, which should give enough time for Davina to get set up. I also appreciated having fewer worries about hurting any of the men I would have to go through to escape. My only worry was trying to explain everything to mum and what her reaction would be. “I will try and do my best.” I tried to use a subdued voice, but I am not sure that I pulled it off.
Two guards came back in and with the one in the corner, they carefully unlocked my handcuffed ankles but left my hands still locked, and led me to another room that had eight hospital beds set up with VDR headsets. I recognized mine, it still had Andi written on it. I had taken it with me when I surrendered. I figured if I didn't they might have searched until it was found and then they would have captured Vee and my guards. They got me to lie on the bed and then handcuffed my hands to the side supports and then did the same with my legs. It left me naked, spread-eagled and feeling very vulnerable. Andi flashed me a few more images of penis destruction and I felt a reassuring squeeze from Inda.
Seven men came in. I would guess they were in their forties, but I couldn't guess their ailments. To give me extra motivation, Mr Smith came in and joked with them, telling them, that if I did anything in VDR that they didn't like, I would be here waiting for them, helpless. They arranged themselves and had their headsets on before Mr Smith personally fitted mine. He casually stroked my leg getting pretty high up. I hit resume as quickly as I could.
I woke up in bed alone. I almost felt like crying because Vee wasn't with me. The maids came but were puzzled by Vee's absence. I told them we had seven guests next door that needed careful handling. I suggested the Royal guard and that I needed to speak to mum immediately. Vee's maids rushed off and my maids took me into our bathroom for a wash and change of clothes. They got out my Taigoa clothing, but I told them not today, so they choose my normal day wear.
Soon after I had changed mum arrived with a concerned look upon her face. I couldn't help myself, I rushed into her arms and cried. After I had cried myself out, she guided me to a set of chairs. She was in her Taigoa gear.
“What has happened? Why is Vee not with you? Has anything happened to her?”
“Vee is fine. In my world, I have been captured again.”
“What about your familiars and your guards, could they not protect you?”
“We were surrounded by overwhelming forces, I allowed them to capture me so that Vee and the others could escape. I have been waiting for my guards to arrive at where I am being held before I unleash Andi and Inda. I am here for seven days and then when I return, my guards should be in place. You have to remember I am trying to build an Elven Nation, but it is a slow process, there are still so few of us. They caught us with an unexpected attack and when I tried to flee, they surrounded me.”
“So when you return you will need to fight your way free? What about these humans that you have brought with you.” Mum continued stroking my hair to try and soothe me.
“The enemy. They want me to transform them into Elven men. I don't want to help them at all. I thought we could remove their memories before we return.”
“No. We need to turn them into allies, to help you break free.”
“I don't want them for allies.” I was adamant.
“Why would you not want them for allies? What are you not telling me?”
I sighed. “There have been some threats made if they are not changed. They seemed to be pretty happy with hurting me. I'm not sure I could ever trust them.”
“What threat?” She was already angry and I hadn't even told her yet what they threatened me with. I wasn't sure I should. She reached forwards tenderly to touch my forehead. I thought she was just being nice but she had an ulterior motive. “I ask for truth, by Lagbit's will, I ask for truth.”
“MUM!”
“I could see your reluctance and that worries me. So I cheated. I'm your mother, so sue me. Now, why didn't you want to tell me?”
“Because it would hurt you and make you really angry.”
“What was the threat?”
“Rape, by multiple men in multiple holes.”
> She stood up suddenly. “I'll castrate the lot of them. No, that is not enough. I'll, I'll...” She was practically vibrating with anger.
“Mum.” I stood up and held her. She was stiff and unresponsive initially. “I need your guidance, not your anger.” She needed to take this truth spell off me, I didn't want to say that. I wanted to soothe her, I did not want to argue with her. It seemed to work though. She relaxed into my arms and we hugged again.
“I release you. You are right though, we need cool heads. I may still castrate them, but if I do, it will not be when I am angry. We need a council of war, but first I need to do some research because I have an excellent idea.” She turned to my maids. “Bathe her, give her massages, relax her, pamper her and get her ready for lunch. At lunch, you will need to tell us everything and we will work out what to do.”
Chapter 20
I was worried about what was going to happen to me in seven days time, but not that worried. I had been holding myself back, as well as Andi and Inda. Part of me wanted to express my anger at my treatment and the unfairness of it all. The last time I had been physically attacked I had been pretty helpless. This time was going to be different. I wasn't going to hold back. I think if it had been Vee in danger I wouldn't have been able to relax so I would need to make it up to her when I saw her next.
My maids did an excellent job. The massage they gave me worked wonders. Sometimes you think you are relaxed until someone pokes their fingers into your muscles and you realize that you weren't. They worked slowly, like they had all the time in the world, but also persistently, telling me that they would just keep going until I let go. Eventually, my body had to give in and just relax.
I went to lunch in a very serene frame of mind until I found Geri and Leaf joining us. Lunch normally consisted of Mary, Kayla, Vee and me with mum sometimes available, more commonly joining us for dinner. Besides Geri and Leaf, there was another Elf who I didn't know. She was introduced as Danielle, Head of the Royal Guard.
First, we had a subdued lunch, no one talking about anything of consequence until the last plate was cleared away. Then I was asked to explain my predicament. To do that, I also had to give context. To understand how valuable I was to my world, Earth, you had to understand just how many humans lived on our planet and therefore how many would be injured or ill in some way that I could help. I then had to explain that magic did not work on my world the same way that it did here, but my two familiars did seem to be effective. I couldn't be certain about magic, but, by the fact that my healing spells didn't work, my presumption was that magic didn't work.
So I explained that the majority of those who had already been transformed were either ill or injured in a way that was not repairable on our world, and were already trained as guards. This was because security was my biggest problem. I had found the equivalent to a King who had given me an island in exchange for healing his daughter. But the island was not ready for habitation and the leaders of the land I was presently in declared me their property in order to control me. When I tried to get away, they captured me.
However, the good news was that they were relying on technology rather than manpower to hold me captive and I believed I had a very good chance of escape. When I returned I would have to overcome some men, but I had Andi and Inda with me.
“How many men?” Danielle asked.
“That depends on what happens to the men I brought with me. At present they are in the same room as me on Earth. Besides them, there are six guards on the same floor, one commander who usually is on the floor above me and eight who patrol outside. I am hoping to arrange for my Head Guard, Davina, to attack at the same time, occupying the downstairs eight who are more heavily armed. Then I only have to deal with the seven upstairs.”
“When you say heavily armed, what do you mean by that?”
I had to explain about guns and explosives, but also let them know that my security would also have the same weapons.
Mary wanted to know about the seven men that I had brought with me that were at present under the Royal Guard.
“They are soldiers who are losing their ability to fight due to either illness, injury or age. I believe they are an experiment to see if they can force me to change what I am doing, while at the same time providing them with what they call a super soldier. They demanded that I take them with me and transform them into male elves.”
“And would they give the oaths that I have insisted upon?” Mary asked.
“No. They are relying on the threat of harm to me to persuade you to change your mind.”
“What exactly have they threatened you with?”
I looked around the table. I didn't really want to talk about it, but especially with mum there who already knew, I didn't really have a choice. “They are threatening rape.”
“No!”
“That is not all mother. They are talking about many men at the same time.” Myra said.
“And these men who are here, are they to be a party to it?”
“Yes, the threat was all the men. It will not happen, I am not as defenceless as they seem to think.” I declared. “I do not want to give them what they want. I beg you, do not transform these men into male elves. That will just make my escape harder.”
“Maybe we should transform them into orcs. They would appear strong, only later would they find out that they are stupid.” Danielle suggested.
“They deserve death. To be fair we will confirm with a truth spell whether they would have been willing to be party to your rape and if they answer yes, they shall be hung.” Mary said decisively.
“Grandmother, if they die in this world, it will pull us all back to my world. I need them to suffer no excessive pain or death. I want them punished, as I want all the men involved to receive retribution, but most of all I need to stay here for the full seven days so that Davina is in place to help me.”
Mary frowned.
“I may have a solution,” Mum said and all eyes turned to her. “The spell I am using for the transformation process is a modified copy spell. I had inspiration from Lagbit that allowed me to change a copy spell so that the object being copied, in our case, a person, could choose whether to be copied or not. I wanted the body to change and not the mind and Lagbit informed me that if the person being transformed controlled the process, their mind would remain intact.”
“What are you suggesting?” Mary asked.
“We choose our greatest warriors and copy them onto these men. If I don't use the modified spell, just the straight copy spell, they should have no choice in the matter and their minds should be completely replaced by the warriors we choose. They will die a mind death, not a body death. Tia will have seven warriors beside her when she wakes to help her escape.”
There was a pause while we all digested her plan.
“I like it,” Kayla said quietly.
“For fairness, we do need to check them with a truth spell, but, other than that, it sounds perfect.” Mary agreed.
We would be sentencing these men to real true death. I knew the society I grew up in would suggest that I object to it. I had to be true to myself and these men had been laughing and joking about my naked helplessness. If they were willing to rape me, what else had they done in their lives? No, I had no qualms about killing them, or not enough to object anyway to their deaths.
“When someone is transformed here, they do not immediately change on Earth. It takes about two weeks for their body to match what they should look like. So anyone copied would have the ill and damaged men's bodies.” I said.
“That would still give you seven allies. Maybe it would be better to have druids since the shape of their bodies will not affect their familiars.” Leaf added.
“A mage or two could be a good idea and maybe a healer. If magic works then they will have a huge advantage against people who have none.” Geri argued.
The discussion got a bit heated as they divided up the seven places between them.
“Excuse me.�
� I interrupted them. “This could also be a great opportunity to help me build an Elven Nation. Please consider that when choosing your candidates. Additionally, I would request that Ash is one of the candidates so that she can be with her bonded both here and on Earth. Mum, would you mind being copied so that I could have you on Earth with me, you could also be our designated healer. You could also help develop our Elven culture.”
“Of course, darling.” Mum and I got up and hugged. Mary and Kayla joined us for a group hug. We left Leaf, Geri and Danielle to work out numbers.
“I will go and use a truth spell on our guests and see if we have seven guilty men,” Mum said. “I would suggest you spend your time here training your druid abilities. Even if you are not quite ready, I would suggest attempting the druid ritual for a third familiar, before the end of the week.”
