Incubus (c)1998 By Darkside.
============================
Incubus: 1. A demon believed in folklore to lie upon
sleeping persons, esp to have intercourse with sleeping
women. 2. Something that disturbs greatly, esp a nightmare
or obsession.
1976 Arkansas.
"Oh yes more ,more, more," came the moan from the next
room. He lay in his bed listening to the sounds coming from
his mom's bedroom, his hands over his ears, his nine year
old body shaking in fear.
His mind went back to that fateful day where dad had
walked out after finding out about mom and the man next
door. Since then, this had been the only way to bring enough
money in to live on. Today was Tuesday, Tuesday was when
Mr Burns came around. Mr Burns liked him to join in as
well.
21 Years Later.
He walked down the high street in nonchalant fashion. The
sun shone on this bright September day, forming ever
lengthening shadows on the ground where he walked.
Looking at those shadows he speeded up his walk. The
casual swagger abandoned in order to avoid the twilight.
The twilight was when THEY came. They always came at
twilight.
He'd just finished his shift and was walking home on what he
called 'route b'. This involved avoiding the busy shopping
malls and avoiding the typical late 20th century rat race.
'Route b' was a much more scenic route. Well as scenic as
you could get living in an urban sprawl.
People made him nervous and so he avoided them wherever
he could. He preferred the safety and security of his own
company to that of his fellow man. There was something
about other people that made him on edge, as though there
was something inside them that was evil and was trying to
drag him down to hell.
The light was beginning to fade quickly now. He had to get
home soon or else face up to THEM again. He quickened
his pace into a slow run, he must get home no matter the
cost.
As he ran past well kept gardens he knew that he would be
too late. He could feel the oppression in his mind, the voices
that demanded things of him, tried to make him obey their
will, they would soon start. He must hurry.
In the dying embers of the day a last glow of sunshine broke
thru the clouded sky and bathed him in light. He stood
transfixed as salvation came upon him. The voice inside his
head was smooth but powerful. It said "You are my chosen one.
The world has become evil and I have chosen you to stop it."
He fell on his knees in awe. "What should I do?" he called.
"Women are the cause. Since they tempted Adam so long
ago they now tempt mankind. It was a woman's hand that
caused man's downfall. You must stop temptation again
before the end of all things."
The sunlight left and the day drew to a close. Breathless
from his revelation he ran the remainder of the way home.
His encounter had driven THEM away. He now saw things
clearly, he knew what his mission was to be.
When he got home he managed to find his old family bible
and he opened it and read Genesis chapter 3. The voice was
right. The woman did do it, the woman was the serpent. So
the world could see the truth he now knew the woman must
become the serpent again. That was his new role, his
destiny.
Fourteen months later.
He stood astride her, his foot placed firmly on the small of
her back. She was whimpering softly, unable to speak
properly. Her slender body pressing deep into the ground.
The wood silent apart from the buzz of the crickets.
"Don't worry. Soon you will be back where you belong" he
said.
Her only reply was to struggle some more.
"Now for your atonement," he said as he brought the axe
down in a smooth practiced motion.
-------------------------------------------------------
Detective Scott Harris took the call. He'd only just gotten to
bed after a pretty shitty day. He'd just managed to creep into
bed and get warmed up when his pager went off. Struggling
not to wake up his wife, who was still asleep, he managed to
get to it and switch it off.
Bleary eyed he walked to the phone and rang the station.
"Wass up," he said sleepily.
"Sorry to wake you but we found another one," the voice
replied somberly.
"Fuck!, where?"
"In Cranwell woods. Nobody saw anybody do anything. The
MO's just like the rest. I sure hope we get this bastard
soon."
"OK I'll be right there."
Dressing in a hurry was not in Scott's nature but ten years of
working in homicide had taught him one thing about getting
dressed in the middle of the night. Rule 1, always check
your zipper. He did so and slipped silently out of the house.
The small patch of woodland known to the locals as
Cranwell woods was about 10 miles out of town, and it
would take Scott about 20 minutes to get there. As he drove
past deserted streets he thought about the case, his case. "I
hope to God I catch this bastard soon," he thought.
In an attempt to clear his mind he switched on the radio.
Carmina Burana O Fortuna was just ending and the news
started. "And the hot news tonight is that Robert Abbey has been
appointed the defending attorney in the Dr Elizabeth Bexley
trial. As you are no dou."
Scott flicked the radio off in disgust. Firstly he was fed up
with the media always going on about the Bexley trial all
day, every day. But what really got in his craw was that the
officer in charge of the case had it so easy. Rich heiress,
pissed off at being jilted, blows her ex-fiancee's wife's head
off in front of hundreds of witnesses at an airport. Simple
open and shut case. Not like this one at all.
The blue and red flashing lights casting distorted shadows
thru the trees told him he was at the place. Paramedics were
still on site, but their movements told him they were too late.
He drew up beside a squad car and got out.
After he flashed his badge at the officer guarding the site he
met his partner, Tina. The tears in her brown eyes told him
his worst fears were true.
"Is it?" he asked.
"Yep, Take a look if you want. I gotta get outta here," she
said softly.
"Forensics been down here?"
"Yeah. As usual they found squat, just the usual. Andrew's
still here though."
"Fine I'll go talk to him," and Scott walked off.
"Hi Doc," Scott said to Andrew.
Andrew was crouched down, his flashlight sweeping the
ground for any missed evidence. "Uh Hi," Andrew replied.
"Can I take a look?" Scott asked.
"Sure, we've taken all the photos we need for the moment.
We just need to do the front."
"Why don't you come too and tell me what you've found?"
Scott asked.
"Okay I was headed back that way anyway."
Scott and Andrew threaded their way thru damp, thick
bushes and ferns until they reached the point. Scott's
flashlight beam fell on the place and he nearly threw up in
disgust. Only ten years of this kinda shit stopped him.
The shape resembled a young woman, laying face down.
Her arms were missing and her body was clothed in what
looked like a fake snake skin swimsuit . Her legs had been
bound together using thick adhesive tape and obviously
placed inside a roughly sewn PVC tail, which were covered
again with brown and black snake scales. Blood was still
seeping out of the bloody sockets where her arms had been
and a large bruise was starting to form on the small of her
back.
The head was shaven all over and a snake-skin hood was
lying close by.
"Did you take that off?" Scott asked pointing at the hood.
"Yeah, we needed to see if it was the same as all the rest."
"Can we turn her over?" Scott asked.
"Sure, I was about to do that. We'd better get some
photographers over here first," Andrew replied.
"I'll go get them" Scott said, still feeling sick from the sight
he'd just witnessed.
A few minutes later Scott returned and turned the body
over. The feeling of nausea returned as he looked at the face
of the dead girl. The girl's eyes, still open, showed great pain
and fear. Blood was seeping from her mouth. She must've
been about 25.
The photographers did their grisly work with their usual
efficiency and this allowed Scott to get a closer look. Her
mouth was bloated as though something was inside. He
reached down to open her mouth, knowing what he would
find, but he needed to confirm it.
"Better put these on first," Andrew said, handing Scott a pair
of translucent latex gloves.
"Thanks," Scott said, and put the gloves on.
Scott reached into the woman's mouth and found a golf ball
sized rubber ball inside. It had obviously been used to stop
her screams.
"Pass me the flashlight would'ja," Scott asked.
Andrew gave it to him and bent down to look over Scott's
shoulder. Scott switched the beam on and looked into the
woman's mouth. He heard a "fucking hell," from Andrew but
what he saw inside came as no surprise. Parts of her tongue
had been cut away to make it much thinner than usual. A
long section had also been removed from the middle of the
tongue giving it a fork shape.
"This wound is quite old, maybe a few days. Look how it'd
started to heal," Andrew said.
"I want this mother-fucker, I want him bad," Scott said
bitterly.
"Yeah I know," Andrew replied. He'd seen many corpses in
his time but these ones were the worst.
A shout went up from a way back, "Hey get over here, I
found something." Scott and Andrew stood up and ran to
where the sound came from.
A young, fresh faced officer was busily throwing up whilst
his more experienced partner stood there holding the
flashlight on the ground.
Scott looked down at two severed arms, laying side by side
on the ground. The grass was dark where blood had poured
from the open wounds.
"Looks like she was trying to squirm her way to the road
when she died," Andrew said.
"What's your initial thoughts? "Scott asked Andrew.
"Too early to give a proper analysis but I'd say she was
brought here already bound and gagged and then held to the
ground with his foot on the small of her back. Judging by
ragged wounds and exposed bone I say that he then
proceeded to hack off each arm with a large implement such
as an axe. Notice several smaller wounds around each
shoulder, all at different angles. I'd say he had to have
several goes in order to sever each arm. He then clears off
and leaves her to die from blood loss," Andrew said.
"How long would this take?" Scott asked. He already sort of
knew the answer but he wanted a second opinion.
"About 5-10 minutes depending on size, fitness etc. I guess
she's been dead about 3-4 hours judging by the bruises and
amount of blood around. I'll know more when we get her
back."
"So she crawled about 100-150 yards in that time. I guess
we should be able to see the blood trail," Scott said.
"Yep. Scott, you look beat. Why don't you go home and leave
the rest to us."
"OK let me know what you find out," and Scott walked
away.
The radio on the way back was still on about the Bexley trial
so it stayed silent for the rest of the journey. By the time he
got home it was 4am, and unable to sleep he poured himself
a large brandy to try and keep the nightmares at bay.
He awoke with a headache some 5 hours later with the
smell of freshly cooked bacon in his nostrils. His wife,
Rebecca, was calling to him, "Hunny breakfast."
"OK dear, now coming" he called.
Slowly getting up he walked into his kitchen and sat down in
front of his favorite breakfast. His face must have betrayed
something as his wife asked, "Another one huh?"
Scott paused for a few moments and then said, "Yeah, this
one was the worst yet. Sorry but I want to leave my work
where it belongs. You're my last outpost of sanity in an
insane, perverse world. When I get thru that door we're in
sitcom mode. We may have ups and downs but there's
always a happy ending and a little moral lesson at the end."
"Hey, I know, now eat up," and she bent down and kissed
him on the cheek.
Scott felt his cock swell, She's still got it he thought.
A few minutes and a prolonged kiss later Scott was on his
way to the station. So far the precinct had done a good job
of covering things up but he didn't know how much longer it
would last. This latest murder put more pressure on him to
lift the press restrictions.
His team was waiting for him as he walked into the briefing
room. For many of them this was their first homicide case
and certainly their first serial rapist. He looked across at their
faces and was amazed at how quickly they had lost their
innocence. When they'd first been assigned to this case they
were all keen and raring to go. Their heads full of Cagney
and Lacy, Perry Mason and Dirty Harry. As soon as they
saw that first dismembered corpse nearly a year ago those
illusions about working in homicide were shattered. Now all
that remained was grim determination.
The chattering ceased as Scott cleared his throat.
"Thanks for coming, Ladies and Gentlemen. I'm sure you all
know what happened last night."
"For those who don't know what the hell I'm going on about
and have been drafted in after last nights events, I'm going to
outline the known facts. After I've done that you may ask
any questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer
them."
The was a small pause as Scott allowed his audience to
settle. He put the first of his slides on the OHP and switched
it on. He was about to speak and the bulb blew. "Fuck," he
swore.
"Never mind I'll continue without it," he said, and pushed the
non-functioning OHP away.
"The first attack occurred nearly a year ago. If you look in
your notes you can see the pictures of that first victim.
Notice how her tongue has been mutilated to form a fork
shape and how her legs have been bound as though to form
a snake's tail. Now the coroner says she was still alive and
conscious when her arms were amputated. We later found
out her name was Vickie Farrell and she was a waitress at
the local Taco Bell. She went missing on her way home
from her late shift and her worried parents called us the next
day."
The new members of his team's faces were pale and drawn
as they took in the horrific picture in front of them.
"You will notice that the killer tries, in each case, to make his
victim become serpent like. Our psycho-analysts and
profilers can give no firm motive behind the attacks, only
that they are carried out with much care. Their explanations
range from a person with a snake fetish to some kind of
snake woman hater. Frankly they haven't a clue what makes
this guy think."
Another pause to let his words sink in and then Scott started
again.
"There have been nine further attacks over the last 10
months, each one exactly the same. We've looked for a
pattern for the attacks but can find none. There also appears
to be no regular time pattern either. There was a four month
break between the first and second killings for example. The
geographic regions are different but all based in this State
and each victim had no connection to the others. One thing
has been noticed is that each victim was noticeably more
attractive than the last. It's as though our killer is working
his way up the beauty stakes."
"The Coroner's reports each say the same thing and I
suspect last night's will show the same. As I may have
mentioned before the victim's arms are removed just prior to
death by some kind of axe, probably one used for
woodcutting . Their heads are shaved sometime before this
and judging by the stubble growth, shaved every day. We
think the tongue is mutilated between five and eight days
before death and judging from bruising around the legs and
remains of the arms they are bound with wire and adhesive
tape. The victim is also gagged using a device similar in size
to a golf ball. Bruising around the mouth indicates that this
is in place most of the time.
The victims' genitals show signs of bruising indicating
multiple rape during their captivity. Unfortunately their
vaginas have been cleaned before the killing so we have no
semen samples from which to work. For such a violent
death there are surprisingly few signs of struggle and we
have no idea of the killer's method for preventing it. Bruising
on the back shows us that the victims have been held down
by a foot but the size and type of footwear used varies each
time or we could not determine more detail from the
bruising."
Scott paused allowing time for the note makers to catch up.
"Naturally we have focused on the places where the
clothing, gags and axes can be obtained but in each case no
one person has purchased all of items used. We've checked
warehouses and factories for robberies and missing stock
but once again drawn a blank."
"We have contacted the FBI and they are carrying out their
own investigation, liasing with us when required. However
they are no nearer than we are to finding the killer. They did
a physiological profile of the killer as well as the
aforementioned psychological one but all it told us was that
he is a white male, from 5'5 to 6 foot. Maybe overweight. In
other words fuck all."
"You can find more detailed reports of all the above in your
notes. Now questions."
A hand went up. A young cop probably just transferred to
homicide. She looked shocked at the horrific detail she'd just
been shown.
"Sir, could you tell us if you have worked out why the killer
is going for increasing beautiful women?"
"We have some theories on that. The one I go with is that he
sees a woman as an unattainable thing. The more beautiful
the more out of reach she is. Once he has conquered one
level of beauty he moves onto the next," Scott said.
"Why haven't we gone public with this?" another cop asked.
"Good question. We had Stephanie Lane snooping around a
while ago but she agreed to keep it under wraps when we
explained our reasoning. In fact the entire media have
agreed to a complete news black out."
"Which is?" another cop asked.
"I was coming onto that. Firstly, imagine the panic if this got
out, fear would ripple thru the whole community. Secondly,
there's the copycat factor, the last thing we want is for some
nutcase to start copying what he reads. Third, we need to
keep the killer in the dark. The less he knows the more likely
he is to make a mistake. Stephanie Lane saw the wisdom in
this and has got broad agreement from all her press
colleagues. The timing of this Bexley trial circus works for
us as well. While everyone's wondering why Dr Bexley did it
we can get on with proper police work."
There was a knock at the door. "Yes," Scott called.
In walked Andrew holding a sheet of paper. "Scuse me. We
got an ID on the girl last night," he said.
"Who was she?"
"Her name was Jennifer Lynn, aged 22. Her flat mate got
worried when she didn't turn up after her audition last week.
However she didn't report it as she thought Jennifer had
found a partner for the week. Apparently it wasn't unheard
of for her to go missing for a week and then just turn up
again."
"OK people you heard that, Colin and Chris I want you to
check on Jennifer Lynn's flat mate. The rest of you go back
and check on all the details we have. The new boys here can
go and read up for a couplea days. We'll meet here again
Thursday to catch up. Dismissed," Scott said.
His team filed out silently, the chatter before the meeting
extinguished by the seriousness of the job ahead.
Tina filtered her way thru the door and went to speak to
Scott and Andrew.
"Hi," she said.
"Hi, got anything?"
"Nope, just a hunch though," she said.
"I'm listening," Scott said.
"Hey talk to you later, I gotta go. I've got to confirm a DNA
test on Dr Elizabeth Bexley, in town," Andrew said.
"Not you too," Scott said. Another casualty of that damn
case.
"Fraid so," Andrew replied.
"See ya," Tina said and Andrew walked out.
"What's this hunch?"
"Well I got thinking. He's moved on to actresses now, it's
only a small step toward models. I think his next victim will
be a model," Tina said.
"You maybe right. We went thru this a while back but he
threw the scent by killing a waitress and a hairdresser. Since
it now looks like it's beauty he's going for rather than
occupation I want you to put the word out to all the
agency's around here. Be discrete," Scott said.
"Hey, it's me, remember," Tina said and walked out.
-------------------------------------------------------
In another part of town He awoke. The glow of blessing had
not yet departed from last night. Only another two to go and
the evil of the world would be broken, the serpent's head
crushed as foretold in Genesis. Once he had removed the
twelve evil disciples then the world could finally be free...
Still feeling triumphant he got up and had a shower to wash
away all traces of the night before. After rinsing the shower
thoroughly he dried him self and put his work overalls on.
The end times were drawing near and already he could feel
the voice of salvation telling him to hurry.
The day was spent dreaming about how he could extract the
eleventh evil disciple from her lair without being detected.
At the moment he had no idea of what she looked like only
that she would cause more temptation than the last.
-------------------------------------------------------
In the meantime after collecting his case file, Scott drove to
meet Tina at the Role Modeling agency. He chose an old,
battered U2 tape and set it to play. "Maybe Tina's got
something with this model thing," Scott thought as he pulled
into the agency's parking lot.
He walked into the agency and was met by a cute
receptionist. After showing his badge she told him where
Tina was talking to one of the directors. "Up two flights of
stairs and on the right," he'd been told. A brisk jog up the
stairs led him to the right door.
"Come in," a voice called as he knocked on the directors
door.
Scott opened the door to see a middle-aged woman,
wearing a pastel trouser suit. She got up and offered her
hand. "Allison Williams," she said.
Scott shook her hand and replied "Detective Scott Harris.
Has Detective Cox here filled you in?"
"She has, But frankly I want to know why you didn't put the
word out earlier," she said crossly.
"OK let me explain," Scott said as he sat down next to Tina.
"Go ahead."
"You were frank with me, so I'll be frank with you. The
more people who know about this guy the more likely he is
to rumble us. We need him complacent so he's less likely to
be careful. We have, over the last few months increased our
surveillance on all agencies in the area but we had to cut
back due to other commitments. So far he hasn't touched a
model but we think he may try. We would like you to tell all
your girls to be careful. Don't travel alone and always keep
car and house doors securely locked. Y'know the usual stuff.
What we don't want you to do is to tell them why. Just that
the police are running a campaign on women's safety," Scott
said.
"Sure. I'll do that," Allison replied casually.
"What has Detective Cox told you so far?" Scott asked
Allison.
"Basically, that you have a serial killer/rapist on the loose
who has killed 10 women and that you think he may go after
a model next. Detective, all my girls know the dangers of
being a model and in public view. They all know the drill,"
Allison replied.
Scott was getting angry at this woman's attitude, the 'not my
problem type'. He needed to get his message across. He
reached in his file and pulled out the photo's of Jennifer
Lynn. "So did Jennifer Lynn here," he said as he put the
photo's in front of Allison's face.
Allison went pale and rushed out of the room.
"Nice one boss. She's been giving me this 'not my problem'
bullshit for the last half hour," Tina said with a grin.
A few minutes later Allison walked back into the room, her
face flushed red and eyes watery. She'd obviously just
thrown up. "Sorry," she managed to say.
"I had to show you what we're dealing with. Your girls are
in very real danger. How many of your models still here?"
"Umm, we have 10 left, the others are all on assignment."
"I take it you'll make sure all of them take extra special
precautions," Tina said.
"Of course officer, Now if you'll excuse me I have much to
organize. Thank you for your warnings and good-bye".
Allison stood up and offered her hand to both Scott and
Tina.
"Thanks for your time," Scott said, shaking Allison's hand
again. Tina got up and did the same and they both went out
of Allison's office.
"Stuck up cow," Tina commented.
"Suppose. I wonder how the rest of them are doing," Scott
replied vaguely.
"Hey how 'bout some lunch, I found this real good bagel
place just off," Tina started.
"Nah, we better get back. I've got a heap of paperwork to
do before we do anything else."
-------------------------------------------------------
He waited patiently in his dimly lit room for his goods to
arrive. It had been two weeks since he had dealt his last
blow to the evil one. He was being just as careful as before.
He only had two more to go. His only concern was that he
didn't yet know who were the last two disciples he had to
deal with were. Still he had been shown the way so many
times before, he had faith. It wasn't the next one he was
worried about, it was the Queen of evil, the last and most
tempting disciple. If she were to escape then great harm
would befall many innocent people.
The next day he picked up his goods from the drop off
points, excited by the blow he was about to deal. All he had
to do now was wait and plan. By now the agents of evil
must have been alerted and trying to prevent him from
carrying out the good work. He had to try something
different for surely the remainder of the disciples would be
on the look out for him.
After his shift he decided to drive around the busy streets,
tying to see if he could find the eleventh one. He was just
on his way back when he saw her. She was tall ,about 5'10
with short black hair. Her slim but curvaceous figure was
causing men to turn and look at her as she walked by. He
stopped the car and watched her from the safety of his car.
The lady drew a few wolf-whistles from passing workmen.
She turned and smiled at them.
His anger grew, this must be her. Unable to stop herself she
was trying to tempt all those men and so corrupt their souls.
He started up the car and casually followed her to the
apartment block where she lived. Now she was identified he
could work on her removal.
-------------------------------------------------------
Carolyn Dawson unlocked her door and went inside her
apartment. After closing the door behind her she flopped
down on the worn sofa, just glad to be back from work.
She felt herself breathing heavily as though she had been
running from something and she was on edge but there was
no reason for it. She almost jumped when she heard a
movement behind her but breathed a sigh of relief when
Jonesy, her ginger cat jumped on her lap.
"Hey, don't do that you'll give me a heart attack," she said to
the cat softly.
Jonesy responded by purring loudly and Carolyn started to
stroke his smooth fur.
Since James left, Jonesy was her constant companion. Her
mother had found him wandering in some woods, near a
cave a year or so ago and had offered him to her as a gift.
Although reluctant to take him in, she soon fell in love with
him and now she was his loyal servant.
Reaching over to the coffee table and picking up the remote
she switched on the TV. She already knew what the
headlines were going to be, besides she'd had another
depressing day. After flicking past several channels she
finally settled on a cartoon channel showing Scooby Doo.
Fred was just about to unmask the haunted clown when the
phone rang. Muttering to herself she picked up the phone
and answered "Hi Carolyn here."
"Hi it's me," a female voice replied.
"Hey Joyce. We only left school a while ago. What can I do
for you?" Carolyn said.
"Listen I've got two tickets for Cats, fancy coming. Y'know
girls night out."
Carolyn squealed with delight "You bet. What do I owe
you?"
"Zip, best friends treat."
"Joyce come on let me," Carolyn started.
"No way. After all you did for me when we were in college."
"Not that old line again. You must've paid me back a dozen
times."
"OK make it thirteen. See you tomorrow," Joyce said and
hung up.
"One day she'll let me pay for something," Carolyn said and
went back to watching Scooby Doo.
An hour later and cartooned out she decided to get a
shower, before making dinner. She thought back to her walk
back to her apartment. The reaction of the workmen pleased
her and she felt flattered in a small way. Her co-workers had
always said she should have gone into modeling but she was
too modest. People told her that she was stunning, but she
didn't believe them. James was just the same.
James had broken her heart nearly nine months ago now.
They had met at the super-market when, in one of her
clumsy modes she had knocked several tins of cat food off
the shelf and rolling onto the floor. He had stooped down to
help her and their eyes met. Her face red still with
embarrassment she'd agreed to his dinner request and they'd
started dating.
They first slept together on their third date and James
satisfied her in every way. Things started to go wrong when
he started to try and take over her life. He insisted she cut
her hair in this way, dress in such and such way and in other
words be his dream girl. He had explained that she was so
beautiful she had to be shown off to the world and he was so
proud to be her boyfriend.
After six months she felt as though she was being stifled, as
though the life was being squeezed out of her. So much to
her chagrin and regret she said good-bye. Now she was
paying the price as she was desperately lonely. Jonesy was
her only male companion. Joyce visited of course but work
and other commitments made that an increasingly rare
occurrence.
She went to bed about 10, she had 4th grade first thing in
the morning and they could be such horrors.
-------------------------------------------------------
His plan was quickly formulated and he was ready to move
the next day. As a bit of light relief he turned his old TV set
on. Usually he read or prayed but something inside made
him switch the TV set on.
A young blonde haired woman was reporting some fashion
article. He was nearly asleep when suddenly his attention
was snapped back into reality.
"And the latest news in the fashion world is that Rachel
Martin is back in town after a three week rest. The 25 year
old ultra-model has allegedly purchased an island in the
Indian Ocean and is now said by her agent, Marcel to be
raring to go.
As you all maybe aware Rachel (who has been called the
most perfect woman who's ever lived) stunned Paris fashion
week a few months back with her awesome beauty."
His eyes were wide now. This Rachel Martin must be the
Queen, the final and most evil of the disciples. He stared at
the image on screen and looked at her perfect curves, blonde
hair, blue/gray eyes and unearthly beautiful face.
He offered thanks that the Queen had been so easily
identified. However, getting to her would be a different
matter. The enemy would give her the protection her status
in the kingdom of darkness deserved. He would have to be
even more cunning to defeat her.
His mind wandered back to the task in hand. Before Rachel
Martin there would come the black haired one. He went to
bed early. He had much work to do the next day.
-------------------------------------------------------
Carolyn woke early the next day. Try as she might her body
refused to get up, fatigue and stress taking their toll. She
swung her legs over the bed, neatly missing Jonesy who had
kept guard all night.
After having a quick shower Carolyn emptied her last tin of
Cat food into Jonesy's bowl. Remember to get some more on
the way back she reminded herself.
The door bell rang and Carolyn looked through the spy hole.
"What's the mailman doing here this early?" she asked her
self.
She opened the door and saw that the man was much
shorter than she was, maybe about 5'6. Judging by the size
of his stomach it had been years since he'd done any
exercise. The most striking thing about him was his eyes,
they were almost sky blue in color. His face was showing
signs of excitement, as though he was about to fulfill a life's
ambition.
"Sign Here Please," his voice was deep and seductive and
Carolyn suddenly felt strange. She could not help but stare
into those blue eyes. They seemed to bore into her very soul
and she felt as though she would do anything for the owner
of those eyes.
The man looked happy and said "Write a note to say you are
going away for a few days to think about your life." He
handed her a pen and paper, which she took.
Strangely Carolyn felt herself writing
"Dear Mom
The teaching job is really getting me down, I need
some time to think. See you soon
Carolyn
P.S. Look after Jonesy for me."
She then went inside and placed the note on the kitchen
table and then quite unable to break the spell she was under
she went out side again, closing the door behind her.
"Now You will wait 10 minutes and walk to your car and
drive to this place. There we will meet again," the mailman
said.
The mailman went away and left her on the doorstep.
Unable to resist his voice and the look of power in his eyes
she stared at her watch until exactly 10 minutes had past.
Without a look or thought she got into her car and set off to
where the mailman had instructed her to go.
-------------------------------------------------------
Carolyn woke up and found her self in a dimly lit room.
What was that in her mouth, it felt like some kind of ball had
been placed in her mouth. She tried to reach up and take it
out but found that her arms were tied behind her back.
She tried to scream but all that came out was a
"UMMNMMM"
Her next attempt was to stand but her legs had been bound
with what looked like wire and adhesive tape. She managed
to partially get up but then froze when she heard footsteps.
In the dim shadows of the room she saw the outline of
the mailman. She tried to scream louder but failed utterly.
"So evil one you're awake," he said softly.
Carolyn's eyes widened in disbelief.
"There's no use in acting surprised. I know who you are,
You are the Queen's handmaiden, a dark servant. The enemy
must be lax if they let me take you so easily."
More urgent screams from Carolyn stopped the mailman in
mid-flow.
"They all try to act innocent, as though I've made some
mistake. But I know different. How many men have fallen
under your spell?, how many souls have you corrupted?, ten,
twenty, a thousand."
Carolyn flopped down again in terror. Who was this man?
and what did he want?. A feeling of mortal terror spread
over her.
"When the world sees you for what you really are then they
will turn from their dark ways. From a serpent you came and
to a serpent you will return."
The mailman walked from his gloomy corner. Carolyn fainted
as she caught sight of a long knife glinting in the darkness.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Duty sergeant, phoned Scott just as he was going out to
meet yet another modeling agency director.
"Hi Bob what's up?" Scott asked.
"I just gotta call from the St. Nicholas school for Girls, one
of their teachers, a Ms Carolyn Dawson didn't show up for
work today."
"So, maybe she's too ill to talk," Scott said
"Perhaps, but apparently she was very dedicated, hadn't
missed a single day in nearly two years. Maybe you'd better
take a look. Here's her address."
Scott wrote down the apartment's address and name of the
landlord. "OK I'm passing that way anyway I'll have a
looksee, thanks."
He called to Tina who was about to raid the coffee machine
and soon they were on their way.
"You think it's a false lead?" Tina queried.
"Maybe. Everyone at the station is jumpy after last week,"
Scott said, trying to look for the turning and drive at the
same time.
"I think you just missed it, it was back there!" Tina pointed
out.
"Shit," Scott drove further on until he could turn round.
He pulled up outside the apartment block and asked a
resident where the landlord was.
Some minutes later an overweight man, wearing a blue
overall and dodgers cap walked out from the side of the
building.
"Yeah, you want me," he grunted.
"Detectives Harris and Cox. We'd like to see if a Ms
Carolyn Dawson is OK. Her school reported her missing
today," Scott said flashing his badge.
"Sure, follow me."
After a short trip in a rickety elevator they were outside her
apartment. Scott knocked on the door.
"Ms Dawson, this is the police. Are you OK?"
Listening carefully Scott thought he heard a scratching
sound and immediately signaled to Tina to be on the look
out. Tina couched alongside the door, her firearm drawn.
"Give me the keys," Scott asked the landlord, who quickly
hand them to him.
"Ready," Scott nodded to Tina, who gave a quick nod back.
As silently as he could Scott unlocked the door and with his
foot pushed it in. A rush of color swept past his feet, as
what looked like a ginger cat shot out of the room.
Tina breathed a sigh of relief and called "Carolyn, you OK?"
Scott walked inside, weapon drawn and noticed a hastily
written note on the nearby table. Picking it up and reading
he commented "I guess that solves that one, she wants to be
alone for a while and asks her mom to look after her cat for
her."
"Thank God," Tina said softly.
"OK, False alarm. Thanks," Scott said, handing the landlord
the keys back again.
The landlord locked the door and went off. A little
disappointed that he'd missed out on some 'action'.
"I guess we drop in on Ms Hartman of the Spectrum
Agency next then," Tina queried Scott.
"Yep."
Eventually the elevator came and soon they were in the car.
Some rain had just started and was creating dribbles of
water down the windshield. Suddenly the radio crackled into
life and Tina answered. After a brief conversation which
finished with her saying "We're on it," Tina then explained to
Scott what she had just been told.
"County Police just found a car in some woods some 50
miles from here. The license plate matches that registered to
our missing Carolyn Dawson. The car's been locked with the
key and there's no sign of struggle. What do you reckon?"
"I think our psycho's just got another victim. But this time
we may be in time. Listen I'll go door to door here, see if
anyone saw anything. Meet you back in say an hour?"
"I hope your wrong about this one," Tina said.
Carolyn pushed herself back into the wall, as though she
could somehow go through it like a ghost. The mailman came
closer with the knife and stared at her with those unearthly
blue eyes. Carolyn stopped struggling and let him come
closer.
Cut by cut he sliced off part of her hair leaving a short crop
behind. Carolyn relaxed. All she had to do was sit still and
everything would be all right.
An hour later Scott and Tina met up again at the foyer. The
rain had slowed and the sun was starting to shine. Tina
looked excited as she saw Scott walking towards her.
"Get anything?" he questioned.
"Yep. An elderly lady living at number 243 saw Carolyn
getting into her car at about 7:30. Apparently she makes a
hobby of watching people from her window. Bored I guess."
"Was anyone with Carolyn?"
"Nope. But the strange thing is that she wasn't carrying any
bags with her. She just walked up to the car and got in,
oblivious to the world around her."
"Hmm Anything else?"
"Yep the lady remembers seeing the mailman walk in the
building. She thought it strange because it wasn't her usual
mailman and that he was a hour or so earlier than normal."
Scott looked excited. "She get a look at him?"
"Not really apart from that he was quite short about 5'6 and
overweight. He was wearing an official uniform and left
about 10 minutes before Carolyn."
"Right. At last a break. I'll phone this through and we'll get
down to the post office and see who matches that
description."
Some hours later the lead that had looked so hopeful had
died. The only people matching that description had
watertight alibis and the post office confirmed that the usual
mailman was due at the usual time of 8:40.
The only witness had been picked up and in spite of the
latest in digital identikit imaging she could not produce a
consistent likeness.
Scott sat at his desk, his head in his hands. If he didn't find
Carolyn Dawson soon then, well that would be it.
Tina walked over to him and tried to cheer him up but quite
frankly he wasn't in the mood.
"I really thought we had something. Unless we can get a
clear picture of him then we've nothing to go on. In four
maybe five days it'll all be over. Victim number 11," Scott
said bitterly.
In all the months that they had been working the case Tina
hadn't seen Scott like this. Sure he got depressed whenever
another body turned up, they all did. But this was the first
time she'd actually seen him defeated.
"Hey it's not over yet. Four or Five days is loads of time.
Lets see what turns up at her car," Tina said.
"I already know. They found nothing, no footprints leading
away from the car. Nobody saw her get into another car.
The only thing they found was her scarf laying on the back
seat. She just vanished."
"Come on Scott get a grip. We'll get the bastard," Tina
replied. In some ways however she agreed with him, it was
looking hopeless.
-------------------------------------------------------
Carolyn sat perfectly still while the mailman finished shaving
her head. Locks of her black hair surrounded her, but
somehow she didn't seem to mind.
Her spirits fell when the mailman went away. Suddenly her
mind became clear and terror returned. Shivering with fear
she tried to call out for help again but her gag held firm. Her
head felt cold and light and in a sudden flash back she
remembered the mailman shaving her head. Another muted
scream met this image and she tried to struggle once more
but to no avail.
The mailman walks in, his shadowy form creating
threatening shapes on the floor. Carolyn freezes in horror as
he transfixes her with his blue eyes. The mailman cuts the
bonds on her legs and Carloyn willingly spreads them wide.
The mailman slowly unbuttons his jeans, exposing his erect
dick. Carolyn smiles, her gaze still locked onto his blue eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------
David Hawkins woke up screaming, the images in his head
still burning themselves in his brain. A man, a small man
standing over a terrified but strangely submissive, shaven
headed woman. The man kneels down, about to thrust his
erect dick into her pussy. A name screams out into his mind,
Carolyn, then a flash of light and the vision had gone.
David was used to using his 'gift' to help those in need but
never had a vision come to him so vividly and unprompted.
Still shaking he stumbled into the kitchen and poured himself
a glass of water.
Brushing back his longish, brown hair he decided to tell the
police. Even if it meant his ridicule they must be informed.
Somehow his instincts were crying out that this was no
nightmare, it was either premonition or an actual event.
He quickly dressed and decided that he could avoid a
shave for another day. He started to panic when he couldn't find his
car keys. Scrabbling around the house, the feeling of dread
rising up inside him spurred him to look harder. Eventually he
found them in a hidden fold of his leather jacket and he was
soon on his way.
-------------------------------------------------------
The mailman withdraws from Carolyn, the cum still slowly
dripping from his dick and her cunt. Carolyn passed out a
while back and he decides to take advantage. Strange, he
expected the Queen's handmaiden to put up more of a fight.
Still nothing can come against the power of right.
He slowly moves to the back of the room and picks up a
one-piece swimming costume . It's brown snake skin pattern
glistening in the dim light. He picks up some cotton-balls,
opens a small brown bottle and daubs the contents onto the
cotton.
He walks over to the slowly recovering Carolyn and presses
the chloroform soaked cotton over her mouth. There is a
brief struggle and she lies still.
Laying the costume to one side he proceeds to remove the
rest of her sweat and semen stained clothing. Putting the
costume on her was more difficult than he expected. After
he has put the costume on her, examined it for wrinkles he
goes off to find his super-bond 3 adhesive.
Looking back at the sleeping woman a surge of lust rushes
thru him. Her very comely form outlined almost to
perfection by the tight fitting costume. The swell of breast
and curve of thigh makes him aroused again. Forcing himself
to concentrate he picks up three tubes of super-glue and
walks back to the sleeping woman.
Using a thin section of balsa wood as a spatula he squeezes
the glue onto it and proceeds to place it under the costume,
smoothing it out as he goes. Soon all three tubes are used
and the snake-skin costume is firmly bonded to Carolyn's
skin. Only a small flap around her vagina is left free.
-------------------------------------------------------
"It's true I tell you," David Hawkins was shouting at the duty
officer.
"Yeah right, look piss off before I charge you," was the reply.
"Listen I saw a woman. Carolyn I think her name was. She's
in great danger. I can help. For fucks sake she could be dead
by now," David screamed.
Scott walked in after a fruitless search to hear the last
comment.
"Could you repeat that," he asked.
"As I've been trying to tell fuck-wit here. I had a dream,
vision whatever this morning. I saw a small man, about to
rape a young, bald woman. I heard the name Carolyn. Look
you may not believe me but I've never been more certain of
anything. She's in terrible danger," David said, the
exasperation showing in his face and voice.
"Hey come with me and we'll talk," Scott said. It seemed
strange, almost impossible but could this be the breakthrough.
Turning to the duty officer Scott said "Bob, can you give
Tina a call I'll be in room 5."
"Thanks" David said and followed Scott into the interview
room and sat down on a chair.
"Coffee?" Scott asked.
"Please."
"Look I'll wait until my partner gets here but don't worry
we'll sort it," Scott said.
Carolyn wakes up with a splitting headache. Her vision is
blurry but slowly comes back into focus. She tries to
struggle again but her hands are firmly tied. She tries to
scream but her mouth is gagged. Something feels odd,
different. She looks down to see that her clothes are gone
and have been replaced by a snake skin swimsuit. "Strange
how it seems to hug my body," she thinks. The room is silent
and still. From outside she can just hear the manic tweeting
of several canaries.
Tina arrived in the interview room a few minutes after Scott
had returned with the coffee. "What's up," she asks, taking a
spare chair next to Scott.
"Now David start from the beginning," Scott asks.
"OK. I am would you would call a psychic. I have this gift, I
don't know what else to call it. Ever since the age of
fourteen I've been able to sense danger for those close to me
or those with a connection to me. Everybody's had
some kind of experience like it. You know the feeling."
"No?" said Tina incredulously.
"Yes you have. That feeling when you KNOW something
has happened to a close friend before you're told. Well I
have the same ability only much stronger. I can see what is
happening to them. Usually it's just shadows and voices and
only when I touch something of theirs but today was very
different."
"How so?" Scott asked.
"I was at home, when the vision struck me. Full
Technicolor, Dolby stereo. I just had to get here and tell
somebody."
"Have you heard about the murder a few nights ago," Tina
asked.
"No. Why what has that to do with this? Was the victim this
Carolyn?"
"No she wasn't. Detective Cox, myself and several others
are investigating a series of horrific murders. We believe that
a woman called Carolyn Dawson has been taken and is next
on the killers list. If we show you a photofit can you identify
the woman you saw," Scott said, still skeptical but hey
anything to help.
"Maybe. I didn't get a good look at her," David replied,
relieved that somebody was starting to take him seriously.
Tina reached into her bag and pulled out a file. Opening it
slowly she pulled out a series of photos. She showed them
to David one at a time until David pointed at one and said
"Her."
"You sure?" Scott asked.
"Yeah, she didn't have the black hair but the face is the
same."
Scott and Tina looked at each other.
"What? Did I screw up?" David asked.
"The photo you just pointed out was that of Carolyn
Dawson. What do you need and what do you want us to do?"
Scott said.
David visibly relaxed "Do have anything of hers I can use?.
The aura of a person 'rubs off' on personal possessions. I can
tune into this residual aura and use it to link up with the
person. The more recently used the better."
"Hey Scott, how about her scarf?"
"A scarf belonging to Carolyn Dawson was found in her
abandoned car," Scott explained.
"That'll do fine. Now hurry we may not have much time,"
David said.
Tina got up, adjusted her skirt and went out the door. She
returned a few minutes later with the scarf, still in it's
evidence bag. "Here we go," she said handing it to David.
"Can I take it out of this?. I need actual physical contact
for this to work well."
"Yeah but don't tell anyone," Tina said with a conspiratorial
air.
Scott removes the bag and gently strokes the material.
Closing his eyes he concentrates on Carolyn. Urging his
mind to make contact with hers. Beads of sweat start to
appear on his forehead.
-------------------------------------------------------
In her prison Carolyn feels tired, fatigue and pain taking
their toll. In her minds eye she sees a door surrounded by a
glowing white light. The door is closed, mentally she
reaches out her hand to turn the handle.
-------------------------------------------------------
In the interview room David is shaking. He sees a door
surrounded by white light. She is close, he can feel her, feel
her burning desire to escape.
-------------------------------------------------------
In her mind Carolyn turns the handle, her mind screaming to
escape, to run from her private hell.
-------------------------------------------------------
David is sweating now. He sees the door open and Carolyn
is there, dressed in a flowing white dress, like a wedding
gown. Her face shows the strain of being captured, her eyes
wide with fear.
"Don't worry I'm here to help," David feels himself saying to
Carolyn and stepped through the door.
"Who are you, why are you here?, what do you want?"
Carolyn demands.
"My name is David. I'm here with the police to try and find
you. Please help me," David's voice says.
"I want to get out of here, quickly he's coming," Carolyn is
starting to panic.
"Can you tell me where you are?" David asks.
"No time, I must escape. The Mailman, The mailman is
here," Carolyn screams and pushes past David.
David whirls around to try and come after her but Carolyn
has shut the door behind her. David pulls the door but it is
firmly locked. "Hey wait," he calls but Carolyn is long gone.
Scott and Tina can only stare as David's body falls to the
floor and starts to convulse. Scott rushes out to call for help,
whilst Tina stays put to ensure David doesn't hurt himself.
In the meantime Carolyn's body starts to shake and
convulse, her mouth starting to fill with spittle and blood.
The mailman sits and watches her, It's just a trick by the
enemy he figures.
By the time the paramedics arrive David's Grand Mal has
stopped. Tina is holding him steady whispering comforts
into his ear.
David's eyes show fear and confusion. "Mailman, Oh God
the Mailman, no please," David is screaming over and over.
"David it's OK. You're fine," Tina said softly.
"We'll need to take him into hospital to get him checked
out," one paramedic was saying.
"OK Go. Can we ride with him?" Scott asks.
"Sure," the paramedic says as he begins to strap the still
shaking David into the gurney. David is then lifted out and
wheeled into the waiting ambulance. Scott and Tina jump in
the back and the ambulance rushes off, sirens blaring.
"How is he?" Tina asks one of the paramedics.
"He should be fine. We just need to take an ECG and run a
few tests but he should be fine. See he's coming round now."
-------------------------------------------------------
David's eyes open, clarity returning once more. He stares
around him and asks "Where am I?". He suddenly looks
shocked and confused.
"Shh. You had some kind of episode. I know you're feeling
strange but David did you see anything, anything that can
help us find her?" Tina asks softly.
"David?, who's David?"
"He's still out of it," Scott said slowly.
"Wait a minute. I don't sound like this, what's going on?"
David's face was starting to show panic.
-------------------------------------------------------
With the door shut behind him David had no choice but to
go forward. He opens his eyes and sees a dimly lit room. At
one end sits a small, overweight man. David tries to speak
but all that comes out is a high pitched "HMMMPH."
David's body feels strange, he looks down and cries out
even louder when he sees two firm breasts, covered by what
looks to be a swimming costume on his chest. Looking
closer he sees that the chest isn't his. It's slender well
muscled curves lead down to two long, shapely legs. His
eyes fixate downwards and focus on the distinct lack of a
dick. Mentally he screams and tries to find the door in his
mind again but all he sees is blackness.
The mailman starts to speak "Now handmaiden, rest over
with," the mailman stares into David's face with piercing blue
eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------
Back in the ambulance Scott and Tina continue the
questioning.
"What do you mean, who's David. You are," Scott says
"My name's Carolyn Dawson. What have you done with my
voice," David's body demands.
" We've done nothing. Listen David you're still confused
from the fit. We have to know did you see anything?"
"I've no idea who David is. Wait a minute the man in my
dream he was called David. He said he was here to help me.
I ran past him, away from the mailman," David's face was
looking scared. Scott and Tina exchanged confused glances.
"Shh rest now," Tina said.
"Wait show me a mirror," David demanded.
Tina fished out a small make up mirror from her bag and
allowed David to look into it.
Carolyn was confused. Why where these people calling her
David?, Why did her voice sound so deep, where was she.
She looked into the mirror the woman was holding and saw
an unshaven face of a man with longish brown hair. The
deep brown eyes widened and a loud scream erupts from the
mouth.
-------------------------------------------------------
The man approaching David looks confused. He cocks his
head to one side, then shakes it and leaves the room. David's
head is now clear and he tries to formulate some clear
thoughts. Before he can do so the man returns with a strong
smelling cloth. David tries to resist but is soon overwhelmed
by the fumes.
-------------------------------------------------------
Caroyln's panic attack ends with the paramedics injecting her
with some Valium. Scott and Tina watch as the Valium
takes effect. Carolyn's breathing relaxes and soon she is resting.
"Now we're in for it," Tina says.
"What do think all that was about?" Scott asks Tina
"How the hell do I know? What I do know is that the
Captain will be really pissed off."
"Not if David can provide us with some info."
The ambulance rushed into ER. As soon as she arrived Carolyn was
taken to a nearby bed. The Valium had made her sleepy.
"Mailman, Mailman," was all she could say.
"How is he Doc?" Scott asked.
"He should be fine. The Valium should be wearing off soon.
He was only given a small dose, enough to relax the muscles
and stop any more potential episodes."
"Can we speak to him?. It's a matter of urgency," Tina asks
the doctor.
"Sure. No idea if he'll be coherent enough but you can try."
"Tina, I've got a better idea. He keeps talking about the
mailman so why don't you cross reference the rough
description with postal worker records. Maybe we can come
up with something. I'll stay here and try and talk to him,"
Scott suggested.
"Good idea! I'll give you a call if I find anything," Tina said.
"I'm sorry you'll have to switch off any cell phones. Plays
havoc with all the equipment. I'm sure you can use the one
in the hallway if required," the Doctor said.
"Will do," with that Tina left the hospital.
Carolyn's eyes were open now, the effect of the sedative's
wearing off. Scott sat down next to him and asked "Hey you
gave us quite a scare back there."
"Where am I?" Carolyn asked.
"In Hospital you had some kind of fit, but the Doc says
you'll be just fine."
"I, I was in a dark room, Then I dreamt I was a man called
David," Carolyn said, still woozy from the effects of the
Valium.
"You are a man called David. Listen a woman's life depends
on what you know. When you held her scarf did you see
anything?"
"My head! I'm so confused. I remember being taken from
my car A few days ago. We stopped someplace, I was
blindfolded I couldn't see where I was going," Carolyn said,
ignoring for the moment the very masculine tone her voice
was making.
"Did you notice, see anything else?" Scott asked.
"I remember that the journey took about two hours. I
noticed the time on his watch when my blindfold was taken
off. I awoke in some kind of dark room. A cellar I think, I
can see a small crack of light from the doors above me."
"What else, David? This is good," Scott's spirit's lifted. At
last they were getting somewhere. Strange how he's
speaking as though he's Carolyn though Scott thought. Still
play along.
"Did you see the man, The mailman?"
"Yes, just, just before he raped me," Carolyn stalled at this
point, the fear returning.
"Hey it's OK," Scott said.
"I'll be fine. He was small about 5'6 , overweight with the
most blue eyes I've ever seen. When I looked into them I
just lost myself. I couldn't help but obey."
Scott just finished taking notes "Anything else?"
"Yeah just before I came here I heard the sound of birds,
canaries I think."
"Hey David, get some rest I think we can take it from here."
Exhausted Carolyn felt her eyes get heavier. This strange
dream will end soon she thought as she felt herself begin to
float away.
"Why don't you let him sleep now," the Doctor said to Scott.
"OK. Why did he talk as though he was the one actually
being kidnapped?" Scott asked.
"It sometimes happens, after a Grand Mal or episode the
patient is often confused as to their identity or whereabouts.
Don't worry it'll wear off tomorrow."
"Thanks Doc," Scott said and left the building to get back to
the station.
Back at base he met Tina who had just returned with some
more information. She looked triumphant "Got the bastard,"
She said and hugged Scott hard.
"How, Who, Where?" Scott blurted.
"His name is Martin Phillips. He works in distribution at the
central post office. He matches the description given to us
by that old lady. He took unpaid vacation a week or so
back, claimed he had family problems."
"Have you any photo's. David's just given me a detailed
description. Let's see if it matches," Scott said excitedly and
passed his notes to Tina.
"Let's see 5'6 check, blue eyes check and overweight. How
about we check him out," Tina suggested.
"Did we get anymore on him?. I've got the rest of the team
on that now. Do you want to pay him a visit?" Tina said.
"Let's do it," Scott said firmly. At last!
-------------------------------------------------------
David slowly came around, his eyes slowly adjusting to the
darkness. He hurt all over especially in his crotch. Slowly his
vision cleared. He tried to rub his eyes but his hands were
still tied. Looking down he saw the unfamiliar shape of a
woman's body. He felt a warm, wet feeling in his cunt and
shuddered. Slowly dripping down his shapely legs was
someone's cum. Fear caused him to shiver, he'd been raped.
In spite of himself he started to cry, softly at first and then
louder. He tried to call out but the gag was still in place.
-------------------------------------------------------
In a darkened room he lay on his bed, relaxing after teaching
the handmaiden a lesson. He'd washed himself down
afterwards, as he always did. He had deliberately not
