THE FINISHING SCHOOL
Although you wouldn't believe it now, I used to be an ordinary man in,
well, not exactly ordinary job, I was the chief designer for a small
aircraft manufacturer making niche planes for the bored, but rich
executive. My work was demanding, but well paid, so when I married my
wife, Jessica, I suggested that she needn't carry on working in the
women's wear shop that she joined after leaving school. Not bad for a
couple in their mid to late twenties. We owned our own home, a modest
three bedroom suburban semi-detached, with no mortgage, thanks to my
salary and an inheritance from my parents.
We had only been married a month when my Mother died of a stroke and my
Father followed her within three months. I always will know that he
died of a broken heart, as he idolised Mother, just in the way they
each loved my wife. I remember their happiness on our wedding day,
"You are marrying the sweetest, kindest girl in the world," my Mother
told me. I thought so too at the time.
One Thursday, after about a year of her being my attentive housewife,
Jessie greeted me home with some news.
"Oh, Andrew, I'm so excited, I nearly called you at work." She was
practically bouncing up and down. "I had a registered letter arrive
this morning, from solicitors in South Wales, my aunt, Lady Harvent,
has died, and I'm a beneficiary under the will. I don't think she was
rich, but there must be something because they've ask me to go to their
office."
"I didn't know you were related to the nobility?" I queried with her.
"No, Andrew, not really. It's the last knockings of the line, I think
her father was the Lord and I'm only related by blood to her Mother. My
Father was Aunt Steph's half brother, so my link to the aristocracy is
tenuous at best."
"I wonder what you will get?" I pondered while pouring us both a drink.
"Perhaps we should make this a toast to your Aunt."
"I've rung the lawyers and they have agreed to see us on Saturday, if
we can get down there. I know you're busy at work, but you don't have
to work this weekend, do you?"
Jessie knew that we were in the last stages of bringing out a new
aircraft, and although it was already built and being tested, I had to
be there for checking its performance against design parameters, in
case a little 'tweaking' was needed. Little work was carried out at
weekends so it was agreed that I would try to get off slightly earlier
the next day, so we could drive down and stay overnight.
As we prepared the evening meal together, I pointed out that there was
no way I could stay longer than Sunday as I would be involved with work
pretty heavily until the end of the month, three weeks away. After
that I would have a considerable amount of leave due, as the project
had been my baby for over three years in development, and I hadn't
taken most of the holiday that was due to me all that time.
The next day we were on the road by four o'clock making the tiring
drive from our home city of Bristol to Milford Haven, the almost other
side of Wales. The journey was not made any more pleasant by the
autumn weather, torrential rain being blown by a high wind. It took
over three hours, by the time we stopped for coffees, but we found the
hotel Jessie had booked without much problem. I saw that she could
hardly eat her meal, she was that impatient to find out what she was
going to inherit.
At ten promptly the next morning we were shown in to the office of her
Aunt's solicitor, a Mr. Conliff, an elderly man, who seemed to my wife
to take an exorbitant amount of time to find the file, open it, then
find the right page to read from.
"Lady Harvent's estate is a quite unusual one, Mrs Collins." Was he
deliberately speaking as slow as possible? "It largely consist of
Skeggy Island, which is situated about ten miles off the coast, out
beyond Skomer and Skokholm Islands, and on which is the family seat of
the Harvents.
There were considerable liquid funds, but a large proportion of them
will have to be paid in death duties. I have provisionally agreed
figures with the Revenue, and the residual sum will amount to
approximately six hundred thousand pounds."
At this point we both nearly fell off our chairs.
"But I didn't even know my Aunt," a very shaken Jessie told the lawyer,
"I wasn't told that she had died, and the last time I saw her was when
I was about ten years old."
"I'm sorry about that, Mrs. Collins, but she was quite specific naming
you, although I don't know of any other relative."
"What is on the island?" I asked, I was having slightly less of a
problem making my mind work than my now wealthy wife.
"Ah, well I was going to come to that, I take it that you've never been
there?" He asked.
"I didn't even know it existed," she replied, "I thought she lived in a
fairly modest house on the outskirts of the town here, although I can
remember being told that it had extensive grounds."
"Oh, that is her little bungalow, Mrs. Collins, she keeps her
helicopter there when she is on the mainland and sometimes overnights
there when the weather doesn't permit flying. Helicopter is the only
practical way of getting on or off the island, speaking of which, the
ancestral home there is quite large and I believe it has been extended
during your Aunt's occupation. It's called Castle Harvent, by the
way."
We were going from amazed to downright staggered.
"Just how much is this estate worth?" I had to ask.
"We have provisionally agreed a value of all her assets, with the
Revenue, to a total of a round figure of about eighteen million pounds,
of which a little over five million is to be paid in estate duty. We
managed to get a reduction, in light of the school, which offers
scholarships to many of its pupils."
"School?" My wife was starting to act shell shocked, staring at the
old man and with a rather white face. I must admit that the whole
thing was taking on a surreal aspect.
"Yes, Mrs. Collins, I am given to understand that it is a Finishing
School for Young Ladies, although I confess that I have never actually
been there to see it. Of course I imagine that you will wish to sell
that part of the estate if you don't want to carry it on. However, I
have met the Head Teacher, a Ms. Irene Black, during the course of
probate, and she has assured me that it is profitable, so if you did
wish to have it continue running, the staff are all willing to remain,
subject to your approval, of course."
"I think that I had better see this Island for myself." My wife was
only now starting to assemble her thoughts.
"That was anticipated and a flight has been re-arranged for tomorrow,
it would have been today, but I'm afraid the high wind makes that
impossible. I hope that is all to your satisfaction, Mrs. Collins, and
if so I have a number of papers for you to sign."
We were in his office for another hour or so and when all the
formalities were completed Jessie was the proud possessor of two key
rings, one with a fairly normal five keys, the other with so many that
I lost count. The smaller bunch of keys opened the bungalow which we
went straight over to examine.
It was a pleasant pebble dashed building, built during the inter-war
years, about nineteen thirty. It struck me as quite ordinary, if it
hadn't been set in the centre of about ten acres of grounds, have a
large white 'H' set in a circle, and a wind sock, all about three
hundred yards from the back door. In spite of the rain, it was warm
and cosy, so we de-camped from the hotel, deciding to sleep here to be
ready for tomorrow's helicopter trip. We parked the car in one of a
number of outbuildings, which, as far as I could see, were all empty.
I was worried about getting back to work the next day, so when we were
advised, by the land line phone in the bungalow, that the flight was
delayed until mid-afternoon, we decided that Jessie would go alone to
view her estate, and I would return to Bristol.
When the helicopter did arrive, it turned out to be one big enough for
six or eight passengers, plus pilot and co pilot. A Ms. Jane Green,
introduced herself to my wife as not only the pilot, but the School's
Department Head in charge of Deportment and Presentation. I was a
little miffed at her attitude, only speaking to Jessie, and ignoring
me, but I put it down to perhaps nerves, meeting the new boss for the
first time. I was more pleased with her flying skills on landing and
take off, in spite of still being hit by the occasional gust of wind I
felt she was someone I could trust my wife to.
I waved goodbye and headed back home.
I got a certain amount of ribbing when I got back to my office and told
them about my wife's bizarre inheritance, but it was limited by a rush
redesign of a couple of instrument placements for the new aircraft. I
only had two phone calls from my wife in the twenty days we were apart,
and although I tried to call her back a couple of times, I was told
that she was in another part of the estate so was unavailable.
However, true to my word, on the twenty seventh of the month I was done
with the work, the project was now in the hands of our sales team, and
I could arrange to reunite with Jessie on the island.
I had taken a little time to search for the Harvent family on the
internet, but I learned very little that I didn't already know. The
only exception was about the castle itself. It would seem to be built
on from the original, which was started early in the twelfth century.
The island was limestone and the sea caves in the base were used as a
store by smugglers in the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. The
castle itself was thought to be impregnable to attack.
During the course of the phone conversations I had with her, the first
one expressed some vagueness as to what they actually taught at the
school. The second time we spoke, she had decided that we could keep
the school going and I should book at least the six weeks holiday I was
due, in order to help her get her feet under the table, so to speak.
She did point out that the reason she couldn't phone me often was that
there was only the single radio linked telephone on the island and it
wasn't always possible to make a connection. Of course it was too far
out to pick up a signal with a cell phone.
I tried to make conversation with her the second call, and asked her
what exactly did they teach there and who were the customers. It
seemed that very rich families paid well to send pupils there to be
trained to deal with all the problems in their lives, but that the
discipline was very strict. That didn't really tell me a lot, but no
doubt, as Jessie said, I would find out when I got there. Because of
the uncertainty caused by the death of the owner, they had run down the
pupils, so there were none actually there at the moment Now Jessie had
decided to keep the school open, recruitment of pupils had been
resumed, but the first intake after the break would be small, so only
five would be coming over with me on the next helicopter flight.
Five young ladies didn't seem a lot to me, but if they came from rich
backgrounds perhaps the margin of profit was high.
As arranged, when I arrived, I phoned to confirm and was told that the
flight would be landing in a few minutes, but that I was to wait in the
bungalow with my luggage. There was a lot of this, as I also packed a
case full of things I thought Jessie might need. When the transport
landed, a different woman came to meet me, escort me to my seat and
strap me in. She told me to leave my luggage as it would be loaded by
her colleague when she arrived with the rest of the passengers and it
wasn't long before a minibus with blacked out windows arrived with five
men and one woman. That was the first surprise, five men. Then it
occurred to me that in this day of sex equality, they had to admit men
on the same footing.
It soon became apparent that not only was the woman in charge, but the
men, who were blinking as if they had been in the dark, actually seemed
frightened of her. Jessie had told me that the discipline was strict
in the school, but nobody would talk to me. When I tried to introduce
myself to the pilot and her associate, they simply said that they would
introduce themselves in due course. The man in the next seat stared at
me when I told him my name, and nothing would entice him to reply. It
wasn't long before we took off, and I was left wondering how they
managed to load the luggage so quickly, but I didn't have long to think
about it before Skeggy Island appeared beneath us.
I suppose the entire island was about a mile by a mile and a half, it
comprised several fields, with sheep in one and some cattle in another,
otherwise it was what seemed to be the Castle with various out
buildings, power generating solar panels and wind turbines. Apart from
the Castle, the most outstanding feature were the cliffs, two or three
hundred feet sheer to the sea below, which ran right round the whole
island. I couldn't see anywhere a boat could disembark people, hence I
supposed the necessity for the helicopter.
Once we landed, again a well handled one, the helicopter taxied forward
into what looked like a hanger but it was built into the hill just to
the right of the main building. Once inside the large double doors
closed behind us and artificial lights came on.
Waiting to greet us I recognised Jane Green, the pilot who transported
my wife, and a number of other women but, I was disappointed to note,
they didn't include Jessie.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ms. Eden." A tall blond
haired woman had stepped forward and pointed her hand at the others in
turn. "I am the deputy head here and these are my colleagues: Doctor
Holden, head of our Health Beauty Department; Ms. Green who teaches
Deportment and Presentation; Ms. Cork, Homemaking; and Ms. May and Ms.
June who run our security."
The last two were tall, muscular women, obviously twins or at least
very close sisters. Not that the other women, with the exception of
Ms. Cork, weren't tall. I'm only five feet seven inches, so all of
them towered over me in their heels. What Ms. Cork lacked in height
she made up for in width, let's just say that she looked like she
enjoyed her food.
"We have a few other helpers who you may or may not meet during your
stay here, but they need only be addressed as 'Ma'am', all the ladies
here must be addressed 'Mistress'. You will also be required to
curtsey to any woman here, to show your respect. Slovenly behaviour is
not be tolerated and will be punished harshly, you are here to learn to
behave, present yourself properly, and you will learn, and show you
have learnt. No one fails here, you will leave perfectly behaved or you
won't leave at all. I can assure you that you will want to leave very
badly.
Now, take all your clothes off and make your way quickly through the
door there." She pointed to a green door.
There had obviously been some mistake about me, but I didn't speak out
with my usual confidence. Ms. Eden's talk had unnerved me.
"I'm sorry Mistress, there seems to be a mistake with me, I'm here to
see my wife."
One of the twins advanced on me with a knife. In one movement she
sliced down my clothes from my collar all the way down one trouser leg,
then sliced the other leg. The clothes fell off me then she smacked my
head so hard I was only vaguely aware of falling to the ground where
she pulled off my shoes and socks and slipped my watch from my wrist..
It was the fastest I had ever been undressed but I could only think how
sharp her knife must have been and how close it was to my crown jewels.
"Who told you to speak?" Ms. Eden screamed at me. "Get through that
door."
It wasn't long before all six of us men were in a windowless room
completely tiled floor, walls and ceiling, nothing in there other than
a fire hose. The other twin came in and picked that up. In moments we
were basted by a jet of freezing cold, salty water, knocking anyone off
their feet when aimed straight at an individual. This onslaught lasted
for a few minutes, the other twin wandered in carrying a cardboard box
and started to laugh at us.
When the hose was turned off we stood there shivering with cold.
"That's worked on all of them, look how small they are." The first
twin, who had stripped me commented.
"Just think, June, these things actually thought they were men, why,
their cocks couldn't satisfy any woman. I hope these toys I've brought
in aren't too big for them."
They ordered us to form two lines and they pushed each man's penis into
a tiny curved metal tube that was then fastened from behind his balls
by means of a clamp and padlock. Now, I've always been quite proud of
my size, don't say any man reading this hasn't compared their's, either
at school or gym changing room or somewhere. So I had others to
compare, but after that freezing water, then standing naked, my poor
thing was frightened to show himself. Now there wasn't a choice. I
had to put up with it until the staff found out their mistake.
We were herded out of that room back into the hanger, then through
double doors that took us to a lift large enough for a dozen or more
passengers. I was surprised to find that rather than go up to where I
assumed was the level of the castle living quarters, the lift
descended. I noticed that one of the twins held a magnetic card to the
lift control, so presumably it wouldn't work without.
I also observed that there were four levels on the indicator, we had
come in on the top one and we stopped at the next one down, meaning
that there were two more floors below us. I was quite proud of
collecting information like this, even though I was still wet and cold.
We were then guided down a corridor, away from the lift, and if my
sense of direction was correct, we were headed towards the castle. We
were brought to a halt at about the fifth door along, which was some
sort of anti-room. Here we were given towels and were able to dry
ourselves, and the temperature was also more pleasant.
It was here that the twins opened a cupboard and each armed themselves
with what looked like hand torches, but instead of a bulb fitting there
were two prongs. It didn't take a genius to work out that these were
electronic, shortened versions of cattle prods, I think they're called
stun guns. As if their physical strength and fighting ability wasn't
enough, now they were armed.
One by one we were taken through another door to an inner room. When
my turn came I realised that this was a quasi hospital examination
room, and Dr. Holden was here with two nurses, again they looked as if
they could handle themselves. Here we were weighed, had blood tests
drawn, examined minutely, then measurements of all parts of our bodies
taken. One of the nurses used a marker pen to write the number '3174'
on my right shoulder and left cheek of my butt. Then we were
photographed, full body, front and rear, then face close up.
When this was complete I was passed to one of the nurses who used a
large paint brush to spread a gel all over my body and face, although
she was careful when painting it with a small brush on the underside of
my eyebrows.
Then, naked again, without the towel I was taken to another anti-room
to join the others who were ahead of me. All of us had consecutive
numbers marked on our bodies and wearing the demeaning chastity
devices. One of the twins was in the room with us when one of our
number just muttered under his breath.
"God help us." I was right next to him and I barely heard it, but Ms.
June did and she touched him with her prod. He collapsed screaming,
peeing and defecating on the floor. Sorry, but all I could think of
was that I was glad it wasn't me.
"Perhaps you will all learn not to open your mouths without being
told," she said, and then with a grin: "We're not allowed to mark you
permanently, so we have these devices that manage to go straight to the
pain sensors in your brain and only leave a couple of little burn marks
that heal in a few days. That was on power six of ten, imagine what
ten would do." She laughed.
I didn't believe her about the brain sensors, but it was evident that
the damn things were painful. A rag and bucket were provided to our
unfortunate compatriot so he could clean up the mess he'd made.
Once we were all back together again, we were led back to the lift and
taken down one more floor. The corridor here reminded me of pictures I
had seen of a top security prison, there were reinforced doors down
each side, all with a slotted panel at eye level , no doubt for someone
to be able to inspect the occupant, and a narrow slit just above the
floor. There must have been at least a dozen of these, down each side
of the corridor and, while most of them were blank, a few of them had
numbers slid into a holder on the door. I was not surprised to see one
with 3174 on it, and I was pushed inside and the door closed with two
loud clicks.
"What have you done with my wife?" I shouted. "If you've harmed her I
will find a way to kill you."
I kept shouting until it was obvious that no one was listening. What
on earth had happened to me? Did Jessie know I was here? Must she be
held a prisoner as well? Perhaps the so called 'Head Teacher' Irene
Black was upset by my wife receiving the legacy. One thing was sure, I
wish we'd never heard of Lady Harvent.
I looked round the room, or should I say, cell? It was actually well
appointed, with a comfortable feeling bed, large wardrobe, a chest of
drawers, a vanity, a bedside table and an en suite bathroom. At odds
to all this hospitality were three obvious cameras set in the ceiling,
two in the main room, one in the bathroom, so I was being observed
whatever I did. I was provided with a glass in the bathroom with a
note to say that the cold water was potable, but the hot tap was sea
water and should not be drunk.
At that moment a voice, I think of the Doctor, telling all new arrivals
to shower the gel from their bodies. It was a luxury to step into a
warm shower, but imagine the shock as all my body hair, including my
pubes went down the drain. When I stepped out and dried myself off,
even my eyebrows had been thinned into a very fine arch.
We were then told to look under our pillows, where we would find a
brief summary of what was expected of us. In the folder was just one
printed page:
'WELCOME TO LADY HARVENT'S FINISHING SCHOOL.
Your generous owner has agreed to provide you with the best training a
maid servant can receive.'
Maid servant? It didn't compute in my brain. It continued:
'You will learn how to best serve your Master or Mistress with their
every need, and at the same time be immediately obedient, doing what
they ask without question and without hesitation. You will learn to
present yourself and your work to exacting specifications and be
perfect at all times. If ever you fail you will be returned here for
retraining at this school's expense, that is part of the guarantee we
have given for our training. If that happens you will learn what it
means to be someone who we do not like. If you think that the next few
weeks are difficult, even painful, we will leave to your imagination
how you will be treated if you have failed us.
At the moment you are unworthy of a name so you are just a number.
When your training starts to show some skill, you will be rewarded with
clothes. You will not be told the name your owner has chosen for you
until you have earned it. The same applies to clothes, although you
will start to receive some rather quicker than a name.'
Under this was presumably a section typed for each individual student,
I mean prisoner:
'Number 3174
Lady Harvent requires a docile maid who will look and act the part at
all times. In your case you will remain on the Castle staff and carry
out your duties here. The title of maid to Lady Harvent is
prestigious, so your training will reflect this. She has no wish to be
cruel, but she will not countenance anything other than perfection.'
What the hell does that all mean? Is the old girl not dead and this was
some trick to kidnap us? The distasteful alternative to that, barely
could be imagined. My wife is the new Lady Harvent, surely she
couldn't be?
Without any means of telling the time I was caught by a voice telling
me that I had five minutes to lights out. I got into bed and spent a
fitful night.
Woken up by a voice telling me to get up and attend to my ablutions I
was in the same position. Had the whole night gone by or is this only
half way through? I quickly guessed the former as I had woken with my
usual 'boner' only now my John Thomas had nowhere to expand to and was
extremely painful. I showered and cleaned my teeth, no need to shave I
noticed, and was ready in about twenty minutes.
Soon after that I was collected and joined the silent throng back to
the lift where we returned to the floor above. This time we went
further down the corridor, passed the Doctor's room and on by two more,
until we were shown into a room resembling a school room but with
vanity tables instead of desks. Each desk had our corresponding number
on it. Where the teacher would be, in front on a raised dais, was
another vanity but with large television screens each side. The
teacher turned out to be Jane Green, the pilot of the first helicopter
that brought my wife here, at least I suppose it did, I reflected that
it could have taken her anywhere.
The woman reminded us who she was, and that we were still not allowed
to speak, then introduced her assistant, Ms. Lucy, who it turned out,
started to show us how to put on make up, her face being shown on the
screens. It was explained to us that the make up had been selected
individually for our skin tone, hence the numbered vanity, I could
only think that this was getting crazier by the minute. After each
stage was demonstrated to us we had to follow suit, I didn't manage too
badly for my first attempt, but one of our number, 3171 I think,
managed to spill some of his on the vanity. He was told to stand up
then bend over his chair. Ms. Green zapped him with the same prod that
the twins had used. He jumped and screamed with pain but was told that
he only receive a two powered prod, but that next time he did something
wrong it would be doubled to four.
We were all very careful after that.
The class seemed to go on for hours, as we had to wipe our faces and
repeat each stage at least three times or until it looked good. When
we were finally finished we were told to clean off our faces and were
taken back to our rooms where a meal was waiting. Well I say a meal,
it was just half a hard boiled egg with some salad, and considering we
ate nothing last night, it didn't get rid of the pangs of hunger. I
then got bored in the extreme, there being nothing to do. I managed to
sleep for a while, but most of the time I set my mind as to how I could
escape.
I came to the easy conclusion that for the first few days at least they
would be very careful with us, so it was just a case of gathering
knowledge. Of course my best bet was to somehow get to the helicopter.
I'm not even sure my wife knew that I could fly one. Of course she had
come up with me on occasions, flying my company's plane, but anyone who
knew anything about aircraft, and I was sure they did, would know that
flying a helicopter is entirely different.
Suddenly I was woken from my thoughts by the door opening and the May
twin called me out of the room. I was taken up in the lift just the
one floor, and for one joyous minute I thought my wife had discovered
the mistake and was collecting me. No such luck.
I was returned to the Doctor's room and this time told to get myself up
on the examination table, worryingly he was dressed in operating room
scrubs. I was filled with foreboding as Ms. May strapped me down but
as the Doctor approached with a hypodermic, I took a terrible gamble.
"Does my wife know I'm here?" I looked with what I hoped was a
pleading look in my eyes.
The Twin looked down on me and for a moment I thought she was going to
prod me.
"I will overlook this once," she said, "as I think that it's my great
pleasure to tell you that you're going to spend the rest of your life
in pain and abject despair here. You are no longer married to her, but
our new Lady Harvent has graciously agreed for you to continue
accompanying her, in the position of personal maid, once you've been
trained, of course. You may like to know that you are not to receive
hormone therapy, as Her Ladyship has not yet decided if you will be
allowed occasional bedroom duties, although that's not likely in my
opinion, it's much better to see you mincing around frustrated. But,
remember this, if you fail to comply here, your penis will be removed
and your balls sewn up into your body, you may want sex after that, but
you will be completely unable, ever. Now, the next time you talk out
of turn you'll be zapped with a power of eight out of ten, do you
understand?"
I nodded as the hypodermic went into my arm and the next thing I knew I
was waking up in my room. I was immediately aware of weight and a dull
ache in my chest, and saw that I was wearing a fairly sturdy bra, a
large one, then I realised that I needed it.
Sticking up from my chest were two, to me huge, mounds. As I sat up my
attention was drawn to a typed note on my bedside table:
'CARE TO TAKE AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION
The bra fitted must be worn for twenty four hours a day for the next
four days, only changing carefully into a clean one, while laying down,
every day. After that, for a further three weeks it should only be
taken off for showering and then the breasts must be treated very
gently.
Enjoy your new breasts, you are size 36D.'
Also on the table were a pair of frilly pink panties with another note
telling me that there was a supply of more of these, and two more bras
in my dresser, and that I was responsible for washing out my dirty
undies each night.
All this paled into insignificance compared to what the twin had told
me about Jessie, could it possibly be true? For a start I was fairly
sure she couldn't inherit a title from her aunt, the peerage system was
still pretty antiquated and heavily biased on the masculine side of the
family. Did it matter what she called herself compared with what was
happening to me? I still didn't really know that she wasn't being held
against her will, the same as me, it was still certainly possible. I
knew from experience that she enjoyed a good sex life, and, while I
might not be the greatest lover in the world, I hadn't had any
complaints from my previous sexual encounters. So on balance I thought
it probable that the bitch twin was playing mind games with me, but I
had to prepare myself for the worst.
At that moment a tray with a plate of food was slid under my door. It
was a small portion of lasagne, so I guessed, from the amount I was
being given to eat that I was destined to loose weight. Making me
weaker served my captors in two ways, obviously I would be slimmer and
perhaps more feminine looking, but crucially, as far as I was
concerned, I would loose strength, so if there was any chance of escape
I would be additionally handicapped.
I thought about being observed all the time, but did the cameras have
infra red capacity? If they didn't, could I use the hours of darkness
to exercise? It wouldn't put weight on, in fact I would loose it
quicker, but what body mass I did have would be muscle. I resolved to
try it after lights out that night, I would soon know if they were able
to see me. In spite of my small size for a man, it wasn't many years
ago that I used be very athletic, I even toyed with kick boxing and
judo when I was younger, so I felt it wouldn't be very difficult to
regain at least a little of my former fitness. At the very least there
would be another benefit to a fit body, it would keep my mind active
and positive. It would be very easy to become lethargic and beaten
down emotionally by physical pain, so I set about preparing myself
mentally to quietly rebel, in ways I had read in a book, about soldiers
who were trained to withstand interrogation.
That second night, in spite of the desecration of my body by these
lumps of silicon and the damn thing round my privates, I was feeling,
not exactly more optimistic, but positive that I was doing something
that I had control of, not my captors.
Just before the lights went out, I made up a circuit in my mind to
develop various muscles. The bed was heavy and had horizontal steel
rods in a pattern at both the head and foot, I surreptitiously tried
lifting the foot end, and although it hardly moved, it was much heavier
than I first thought, I felt it would strengthen me if I used it as
weights. I could obviously run on the spot, increasing that ability
must be an advantage and placing my feet under the bed and doing sit
ups would give me better abdominals. I knew that by doing all these
things I had accepted that I would be here a long time, but preparing
myself in this way I knew must be to my advantage.
When I finally got to sleep that night I was exhausted.
The next morning, after suffering my boner again, we were given a
little cereal for breakfast, then taken again to the room on the next
floor up where we had our lesson yesterday, but this time it was to be
fitted with a waist cincher. These pulled our waists in by five inches
and I could hardly breath. As I looked around at the other victims
being dressed in the same way, I noticed that two of them, although
they were wearing very small cupped bras, had no breasts, the others
had obviously received implants the same as me. Further I couldn't see
any bulge in there panties where there chastity device should be. They
still had a penis, but I was pretty certain they'd lost their balls. I
wondered if these poor devils were started on hormone treatment.
After we had all been fitted we were moved on to another room, this was
in the form of a large kitchen with many different workstations so here
we were to learn to cook. I had no problems here as I enjoyed cooking
and often did it to relieve my wife as I knew that to her it was a
chore. Between us we prepared an asparagus soup, the main course of
duck breasts with a plum sauce, four vegetables, and a dessert of cr?me
caramel. All of these things I had cooked before, so it was only a
question of scaling up for about fifteen to twenty people, but after
the plated dishes were sent away, we had to prepare our own lunches of
a very small portion of curry and rice. After that we made up a stew
and placed it in a low oven for us to have as our dinner tonight.
Although the food was sufficient to live on, it was surely designed to
get our weights down, but I still exercised that night.
The next day, after replacing my bra, panties and cincher and eating my
meagre breakfast, I was taken back to the Doctor, where I was strapped
into a reclining chair, similar to a dentist's. Nothing was said to me
about what was going to happen, but soon she was working on my face
with what I quickly realised were tattoo instruments. Either the
Doctor or one or other of the nurses, or sometimes two together were at
it for what seemed like hours. It was only after they had finally
finished that I was shown what they had done in a mirror. My face was
fully made up, eyeliner, greyish purple eye shadow, blushing cheeks and
puffed up, bright red lips. The breast implants I knew could be taken
out, but now they had made a permanent and very obvious change to me.
"Now you will only need to apply a little gloss to your lips and
eyelids each morning," one of the nurses told me.
I silently cried, tears rolling down my face. My life was ruined, even
if I did escape this hell hole. I returned to the belief that my wife
was surely being held against her will, the same as me. I could not
believe that she would have done this to me, then it changed again.
The Doctor wasn't finished. I was turned over, still sobbing, backside
in the air, and they worked another tattoo on my right cheek. When the
straps holding me down were released, I was shown this new one, it
read 'Lady Harvent's slave maid', with a picture of a whip above it. I
became hysterical, I screamed and lashed out at any of them that came
near me, not even feeling it when a nurse zapped me the first time,
then she must have increased the power, because the following time she
touched me a flash of agony hit me, and the next thing I knew I was
back in my cell.
It wasn't the tattoo. What really sent me into despair was that I now
knew for certain that it was my wife, my loving, kind and sweet wife
who was torturing me like this. I lay on my bed thinking of what had
happened and what I could do about it. I believed that if I hadn't
been to a certain extent prepared, the knowledge about my wife would
really have sent me into a deep depression. As it was my emotion
turned to that of blind hatred, but when I started to think of how I
could get revenge, I decided that in this case, the best attack would
be defence. If I was able to convince them that I was in a zombie like
state, there would be very little they could do about it. If I did as
I was told, accepted everything without emotion, their control over me
would seem total, but I could still prepare for when they let their
defences down. It was what I think is called a 'passive/aggressive'
approach. They couldn't fault me for doing wrong, my actions would
seem correct, but somehow those of an automaton, not me, which
hopefully, would really annoy them but at the same time, make them the
impotent party.
They left me alone for the rest of the day and I started to feign being
so depressed that I couldn't eat the meals passed under the door.
However, I did my exercises that night until I collapsed with
exhaustion. They thought that I was broken and I vowed to do nothing
to alter their opinions.
The next day's torture was again under Ms. Green, learning to walk in
shoes with five inch heels. I accepted them with a purposely vacant
look on my face. We had to walk round and round the room, but the day
before had taken its toll on me, because after a couple of hours I
genuinely fainted.
The twins both came to collect me and take me to the doctor. Their
anger was ill disguised, but short of zapping me, upon which I would
have passed out and been beyond hurt, there was nothing they could do.
When the Doctor heard that I hadn't eaten the day before, and now saw
me in an apparently catatonic state, she gave me a blood test, then a
couple of high sugar energy bars, which I ate only when told to, and
then only lethargically, while she examined me. I had to hide that I
was delighted when she declared that I was severely undernourished and
suffering from clinical depression, telling them that she would work
out a new diet for me.
Back in my room that night I had a review of what I had, and could
reasonably expect to achieve. I was already getting stronger, in spite
of my food intake, but it didn't seem likely that I would be able to
escape from these quarters. If I could convince them that I was fit to
serve my wife, things wouldn't change immediately, they would take a
while to believe I was beaten, but once they did, their guard would be
down. So, co-operate as if in a daze and exercise clandestinely. When
my time came, and by God it would eventually if I survived, I was going
to make my torturers pay for this.
The next few weeks (I could only guess, judging by our 'days') passed
with the daily round of lessons which included, but by no means were
limited to in Deportment; sitting, curtseying, carrying things,
walking, and speaking with a breathy, higher pitched voice. In
Homemaking; cooking, nutrition, serving at and laying tables, house
cleaning, sewing and knitting, washing clothes and ironing. In Health
and Beauty; personal and female hygiene, cunnilingus techniques,
hairdressing and cosmetology. Even the slightest infringement was
rewarded with a painful dose from a stun gun in all these lessons. I
assume that because of my attitude, I was largely exempt from most of
these punishments, but all of us thought we were living on a knife
edge, never being allowed to relax.
Our five inch heeled shoes were the only ones we were supposed to wear,
even in our rooms. I guess that was to cause our Achilles tendons the
shrink, so I made sure that my feet were flat on the floor as I
exercised each night. However, each and every day I performed as best
I could like a robot, carrying out all orders promptly but without
showing any emotion.
Our 'uniforms' were gradually developed, according to the wishes of our
owners. The two men who I think were on hormones, were given just
traditional hotel type plain house coats, but when they were undressed
I could see that as their busts grew, their penises shrank. They just
looked like unattractive, dowdy housemaids. The rest of us were given
better quality garments, but while 3171 had long, below the knee
skirts, us others had fetish French Maids' costumes. Mine was cut
especially short, I was told that it was so that my 'slave' tattoo was
always visible. I paid no apparent attention to how I was treated or
clothed.
Ms. Green, in her deportment class was displease with one of my fellow
French maids. She took great delight in giving a particularly
humiliating and painful punishment.
"3173, if you don't pull your shoulders back and stand up straight you
will regret it," she bellowed. Apparently 3173 did not improve
sufficiently, because Ms. Green called for the twins, who carried in a
mechanical device that looked like a long car jack, but with a high
pole where the car would be. At the top of the pole was a 'U' shaped
strip of steel, about two inches wide, and just off the lowest part of
the 'U' was an upright metal phallus. 3173 was stripped and lifted up
to be impaled on the phallus which penetrated his backside by a couple
of inches, and by tying his ankles together, around the pole, he was
immobilised. Green then brought out a voluminous ball gown, placed it
over the frightened victim and zipped it up. An old fashioned muff was
sewn into the front of the dress, at waist level, but when his hands
were placed in it, they were fixed there with hidden handcuffs.
With horror on the faces of the prisoners, but laughter from the staff,
Green pumped up the jack. The pole had an inner part which raised,
first of all impaling him the full depth of the phallus, making him
scream, then lifting the by now hysterical man off the ground. I
realised that it must be crushing his balls with his whole weight
resting on them. He was left like that for the rest of the 'lesson',
his screams turning to pathetic whimpering. Through all this, I had to
maintain my character and show a dull indifference, even while I was
screaming for him inside. No one slouched when walking after that,
especially as we overheard the conversation of the twins:
"That's worked perfectly, June."
"I told you it would, we can make a dozen or so of them and then we can
have a guard of honour using all the pupils that haven't behaved."
They took great delight in watching the faces of their potential
victims.
I was the only one who had tattoos. In a weak moment, while she was
demonstrating something else, Ms. Cork, our cook/teacher, let it slip
that tattooing was rare, as an escaped slave could easily prove
mistreatment. I assumed, from the way she had spoken, that they didn't
think my brain would take in what she'd said, and that in any case, I
was never expected to leave the Island.
For almost all the time during our training we were not allowed to
speak, indeed I would sometimes recite poetry I had learned at school,
back in my room, just to hear the sound of my own voice. As I assumed
that they had microphones, as well as cameras in the room, I felt it
would add to the impression of me having a type of nervous breakdown.
Inspected by the Doctor one day, I heard her say that I was turning
into a sad case, but that my appearance was more 'wiry' than expected,
although she passed no further comment. Thus I was able to continue my
clandestine exercises undetected and at the same time escape many of
the painful punishments inflicted on my fellows. I couldn't help
feeling a little guilty over this, but I knew I had to stick to my
agenda.
One day, I supposed like any other, we had spent an hour in the morning
between the legs of the twins, a couple of nurses and Ms Lucy and Ms
Green. This led most of us, or at least me, to spending a frustrating
time dreaming what might have been. Under those circumstances we were
told that today was a special day for us. We were now trained to our
torturers' satisfaction and we were going to be presented with our
names.
I suppose I had got so used to being called 3174, that I had forgotten
all about this bit of humiliation. While everyone else were sent to
their cells to put on their best uniforms, I was first sent back to the
Doctor. He added something to the tattoo on my buttock, then covered
it with a sticking plaster, needless to say for her benefit I arrived
and left in an apparent daze, indifferent to yet another injury
inflicted on my body.
In my most frilly and ridiculous pink French Maid costume, with pink
stockings and heels, I was taken to join the others. The twins then
escorted us for the first time to enter the lift and descend to the
lowest floor, exiting in a long corridor with no rooms off, but two
barred off passages that smelled of damp and sea. I studied the
position of these carefully for future reference.
The passage led to a stairway, which wound upwards. Again, thinking
knowledge would be my key, I counted them; 129 steps.
At the top an old door opened directly into what I knew was the Castle
and this was confirmed when we were taken into what must have been a
banqueting hall. All our 'tutors' were there, every one of them dressed
in an apparent uniform of white blouses, brown leather jackets with
matching short skirts, brown knee high boots, brown tights, all with
their hair tied back and each carried a riding crop. Their prods were
still on hand though, in holsters attached to their belts.
At the far end of the hall were positioned two large chairs on a dais,
thrones I immediately thought of, with one slightly smaller than the
other. We were led about two thirds of the way towards these chairs,
then ordered to kneel in a line, one behind another, the two dowdy
maids at the front, myself bringing up the rear. The so called deputy
head teacher. Ms. Eden, stood to one side of the chairs.
"Slave Maids, bow before our head, Ms. Black," She announced, and in
walked the woman who ran this hell, who had been described to us as the
Head Teacher of a Ladies Finishing School. She was dressed in the same
outfit as all the others, except that hers was black, and her skirt was
ankle length. She took her place on the marginally smaller of the
chairs.
"Now Slave Maids, it is your great honour to be allowed to kiss the
feet of our illustrious benefactor, Lady Harvent of Skeggy."
In walked my wife.
Although I had almost a hundred percent accepted that she was
responsible for my torture, I suppose I still had a shadow of a hope
that it wasn't true. Now there she was, dressed as all the others, but
her leather outfit was again black, her blouse was gold, and she had on
a miniskirt showing her gold tights.
One by one the men were named. The first dowdy maid was named 'Pansy'
and he, or it might soon be she, had to crawl along the floor to kiss
each of my wife's boots, then crawl away to eventually be taken out
through a door on our right.
The second maid followed suit and was named 'Petunia'.
"Their owner obviously wanted a matching pair of freaks," my wife
commented out loud and to which all the women present laughed.
There followed the first French maid, named 'Christine', the second
'Miranda', then in front of me, 'Fifi', all of them crawling to my wife
and kissing her boots. Then I was the only one left, but all that was
said was "3174".
I crawled forward but realised that, no matter what I felt like calling
her, they thought I was broken, so that was how I had to act. I kissed
her boots, then looked up to her face, trying to look right through her
and show no recognition.
"Ah, my little 3174," she smiled at me, "what have we called you? Oh
yes, I thought Millie the Maid would be most appropriate," With that
she nodded to Ms. Eden who pulled the plaster off of my new tattoo. I
didn't have to look to know the name of 'Millie' had been added. I
looked up blankly but I couldn't help it, tears started to roll down my
cheeks. She thought she knew that I was broken.
"What a sweet little sissy maid you make Millie, I am going to so much
enjoy having you wait on me and especially when you undress me and know
you can't touch." Then: "Bring her to my quarters in fifteen minutes."
I had to crawl out of her presence then and join the others in the next
room, all the while listening to her praise the work of all the
torturers.
After a few minutes, Ms. Eden joined us to give us the final word.
"Only a few short months ago I welcomed you here. Now you are trained,
but if you think this has been hard, let me remind you that if you have
to return for retraining, you will look back on this as a stay in a
holiday camp. I can promise another thing: If that isn't enough, you
wouldn't survive a third visit and your death would be slow and very
painful.
The helicopter will now take you back to your owners, not you Millie,
we have the pleasure of dealing with you permanently."
With that they were led back towards the staircase up which we had
arrived. I was taken back through the now vacated hall, a door at the
top end, leading to a flight of stairs again up to another floor. I
was stopped by her and told to lean over the handrail of the stairwell.
We were joined by the twins.
"We wanted to warn you," Ms. Eden told me, "Lady Harvent wanted you to
know that it matters not if you have a few scars across your backside.
So we are going to give you an idea of what will happen every time her
Ladyship has cause to complain about you."
With that both twins laid into me with their crops, one aiming for the
cheek on their side. Each laded about three blows.
"This time," Eden spoke over my sobs, "Ms. May and Ms. June have
constrained themselves, as we have no wish to sully her Ladyship's
quarters with your filthy blood, they gave you just a few light taps.
Your standard punishment will have them unfettered by such
considerations and thrash you hard for a minimum of twenty four strokes
each. I expect you noticed that these crops are a little narrower than
standard ones. That is so they inflict maximum damage.
You will probably faint before half are done, so we will wake you, then
continue until finished. This will cause you considerable damage which
will necessitate a Doctor's visit, but the next complaint will see you
get double. You already know what will happen to your crown jewels if
there are more complaints or there is a serious breach of discipline.
Understand girl?"
"Yes Mistress." But with all my willpower I kept a dazed expression
and although I was shedding tears I looked blankly at her, the twins
and round the walls.
I was then taken to the end of this corridor, where there was a room
the size of a large cupboard It only had space for a wardrobe, bed and
vanity with drawers, all on one side, and there was just room to walk
on the other side to get through to a toilet and shower. There was no
window.
"This is your room, girl, next to your owner. Everything you need from
your old room has been moved in here." Then she smiled. "I know Ms.
May and Ms. June hope rather hope you will fowl up. They've been
wanting to whip you since you first arrived, expecting special
treatment. Now come along with me to her Ladyship's Chambers, and
hurry, we have the next intake arriving shortly."
"Yes Mistress," I replied but to the wall as much as to her.
We walked about thirty feet back down the corridor, pausing at a door,
she knocked. In moments we heard the invitation to enter a luxuriously
appointed office.
"Your slave, My Lady." I was being introduced to my wife.
"Thank you, Sue, I expect you want to greet the next batch, how many is
it this time?"
"Eighteen so we will need three deliveries."
"We must get that alternative transport sorted out soon, at the rate we
are expanding."
"Yes, I will chase it up and report later."
'Knowledge is the key. Now I know that they expect to use another
method of landing apart from the helicopter, that can only mean a boat
and that means access to the base of the cliffs' I thought to myself.
Eden left so I gave a deep curtsey, but stared round as if in a trance.
"Come here girl, let me see your pretty face. What does it feel like
always to be a man, but look like a stupid slut with that make up?"
"My Lady, I must thank you for saving me the trouble of applying my
make up each day, now I can always look my best as your maid and I have
more time to carry out your wishes, My Lady," I curtsied as I gave my
automatic speech.
"Aren't you frustrated, permanently having your penis in chastity? My
friends here have shown me the pleasures of sex with other beautiful
women, how are you managing now you're deprived?"
"Oh, My Lady, it is for the best, wearing this concentrates my mind on
carrying out your wishes to the very best of my ability." I finished my
mantra with another curtsey but still emotionless.
"We'll find out how good you are at servicing, follow me."
"Yes My Lady," I said, with curtsey. "I am yours to command."
She turned certain that I would follow as a slave would. Through the
adjoining door was an equally luxurious bedroom with a huge four poster
bed, she went over and laid on it, her legs mainly hanging over the
side.
"Take my panties off and relax me, girl."
I knew from my training what this signified, so very gently I lifted
her body sufficiently to draw her panties down her thighs and off over
her boots, noticing that they were soaked as I did so. This would have
been followed by her tights, but I was surprised to see that they were
crotchless and her bald pussy was glistening. It must be worth
mentioning now that all the time we were courting and married, Jessie
didn't even like shaving her armpits, although she did it in the
summer. The idea of defoliating between her legs was so alien to her,
I would have staked my life that she wouldn't have done it. Now I set
to work the way I had been trained, a little different from my old
technique, so I assumed that she would have expected me to do it the
new way, but I was in for another surprise.
"That's not the way you used to do it slave, you used to start by
licking up my thighs and be much more subtle."
"My Lady," I put a sense of panic in my voice, "please don't have me
punished, it is the way I have been taught and I can't remember ever
doing it any other way." I carried on licking and sucking her clit
exactly as I had been taught, although I realised that she preferred it
the way I used to approach in, what I considered, a more sensuous way.
"Can't you remember who I used to be?"
"I'm sorry, My Lady, something is familiar, but I'm told that I was in
trauma for some reason and I have few memories before that, please
forgive me, My Lady, please don't punish me, please, My Lady."
"Oh hell!" she exclaimed. "Who were you before you arrived here?"
"Oh, I'm sorry My Lady, I think I have only been 3174, please don't
punish me My Lady."
"What the hell have they done to you?" She was getting mad. "I was
told that I could play with you, that you would be crazy with lust for
me so I could torment you."
"Please My Lady, I can be crazy with lust for you, I can be whatever
you want me to be. See, I am desperate to lick your pussy, I have been
well trained, please don't have me punished My Lady."
I then made a point of sucking and licking like a demented person, so
much so that she became diverted by my ministrations and shortly had an
orgasm. I was delighted to note that it was obviously quite mild,
after all I knew her well, and I was well aware that my previous
lovemaking, with a slow and gentle build up, was much more satisfying
to her.
She sat up and picked up the bedside telephone.
"Ask Dr. Holden to come up to my quarters please."
She walked back into the office, without restoring her panties and with
me following behind. She sat at her desk looking though a file, and in
default of any other orders I knelt at the side of the desk. After a
short interlude, the Doctor knocked and was bid enter.
"What happened to this girl?" she demanded. "I was told that she would
remember what I had put her through and be resigned that I can now
dominate her, or at the very least be extremely malcontent. Instead of
that I've got an obedient zombie."
"I'm sorry Jessie," The Doctor spoke factually "everything was going
well until we tattooed her with your name. I suspect that up until then
he believed that perhaps you were captured as well. Once he saw the
tattoo he knew that you were responsible. All I can surmise, through
considerable experience of these disorders, was that up to that point
his whole world was wrapped up in his fear that the one he loved was in
danger. That's what kept him going. Then he had the sudden
realisation that this same person was responsible for his torture, and
I can assure you that for him it was all torture. His brain had no
further reason to function and it shut down, he died in the same way as
his perception of you.
As you have yourself pointed out, he is one hundred percent obedient,
so you have the slave you wanted, it's just that the person you knew is
no longer inside. I'm sorry, but when someone deeply in love suffers a
shock such as he has had, there is no way to predict how they will take
it."
I spent my time carefully studying the walls in front of me, only just
able to keep a blank face.
"Isn't there anything you can do to get him back Nina?"
"I'm sorry Jessie, I can't turn the clock back, and as you have
gathered, there is no need to pretend to be formal in front of him. He
is only programmed to take and carry out orders, any other subtleties
of life are meaningless to him."
"Are you certain that he's not acting?"
"I am a cinema fan. If he's acting he would win an Oscar."
At this point I would have liked to make my acceptance speech, but I
felt I should save it until I'm out of this land of perverts.
"One other thing, Jessie. I know that May and June want to beat him,
but you're aware they have these highly sadistic tendencies, that's why
we had to reign them back, even before you took over. They permanently
disabled two of the customers' property so were limited to their prods.
I believe they've asked you to allow them to beat Millie, but I have to
tell you that, because of her mental conditioning, any rule
contravention that Millie makes will be accidental. For that reason
severe punishment of that type may only achieve putting your maid
permanently in a wheelchair or worse. Either outcome could eventuality
be extremely inconvenient to us, so do you think that you could
reconsider?"
"OK Nina, they're bringing in the new intake at the moment but I'll
have a word when they've finished. For the same reason I'd better let
you get back to your job, we're going to be busy for the next few
weeks."
My wife turned to me after the door closed.
"Did you understand what the Doctor was talking about girl?"
"My Lady, I'm terribly sorry, was I supposed to listen? I have been
taught not to pay any attention to my betters talking among themselves.
Please My Lady, don't punish me, I didn't know I was supposed to
listen," Still on my knees, I clasped my hands in supplication and it
seemed to do the trick.
"Alright girl, nothing for you to worry your head about. You haven't
eaten this evening have you?" I answered that I hadn't. "Can you find
your way back to the Great Hall? Good. Go across that to the far side,
out the door, turn left and down the stairs. You'll find the kitchens
down there, tell them I've sent you to get fed and once you're done
come back here and go to your room. There is a bell I will ring if I
need you, so don't waste time, and knock on my door pronto if you hear
the bell. OK?"
For the first time in weeks, perhaps months, I was unescorted and also
in the main building. What I had to do was exactly as I was told. At
some stage I would have an opportunity to reconnoitre the area, but for
now I had to build up their trust in me.
I found the kitchen with no trouble and vacantly explained that Her
Ladyship had sent me to eat. I was provided with better and more food
than I had eaten before, but on the way back disaster struck.
I had just arrived back at the door to the Great Hall, when Ms. May
screamed at me.
"What the hell are you doing, wandering around on your own?"
"Please Mistress, My Lady told me to get something to eat and now I am
on my way back to my room."
"Liar!" Ms June had joined us, they both still carried their crops.
"You were warned what would happen if you did anything wrong."
There were several upright chairs against the wall, and Ms. May pulled
me over one while Ms. June started thrashing me with her riding crop.
My agony was intense. I tried to go through all the mental exercises
that I'd read about, but I felt myself loosing consciousness. If I
wasn't careful I would really have a mental breakdown. I was vaguely
aware of them changing over, when there was a shout from behind us. I
was dropped to the floor and was only half conscious when I registered
that Ms. Eden had stopped my punishment and was explaining to the twins
that the instruction that I could be beaten had been rescinded.
Then when I woke, I was in the Doctor's consulting room, but not the
one in the prisoners' area. I was really in severe pain, I couldn't
stop myself from moaning, but had enough sense to play it in character.
You know the old rule, divide and conquer, the more I could sow
discontent and distrust among my captors, the happier I would be.
"Please don't hurt me more, please no!" I screamed and jumped/fell off
the examination table I had been placed on and crouched hysterically
crying in the corner of the room by the door. It took all my willpower
not to just lie still and try to mitigate my pain, but if I wanted out,
now was the time to convince my captors of my harmlessness.
"I'm not going to hurt you dear," the Doctor was trying to calm me.
"All I want to do is help with the pain."
"No!" I screamed again, and at that point, Ms. Eden came through the
door to see what all the noise was about.
"Nooo! Please I was told to get food. Please don't hit me again. Nooo!"
I scrambled on all fours away from the newcomer and hid in the foot
well of the Doctor's desk. There I was partially surrounded on two
sides by drawers, and the modesty panel on the front of the desk behind
me.
"Get out Sue!" The Doctor shouted at Eden, "Your savages did this, put
them in cages before I give them something that will put them down!"
She really was mad, and Eden beat a hasty retreat.
Aware that I was bleeding freely, but also knowing that it was having
quite an effect on the Doc I rebutted all attempts she made to coax me
out, all the time screaming and shouting. Eventually, as I had hoped,
it drew the attention of my wife, towards whom I acted as if she was
the one who beat me.
"Please, M'Lady, you told me to get food, what did I do wrong M'Lady?"
She was shocked to see that blood was seeping out across the carpet
from under the modesty panel at the front of her desk, and she pointed
it out to the Doc. This was perfect as I knew that she could never
