Chapter 28: Rising Star

Dawn was angry. So when she saw me approaching, she turned all her anger towards me and let loose. Catherine and Liz had told her about the family’s open attitude concerning the girl’s exploration of their sexuality. They had told her about the icebreakers, and even told her about the group hand job.

But instead of awareness and enlightenment, Dawn had recoiled in anger, fighting tooth and nail against any change. I suspected that the whole day’s events had overwhelmed her. I scanned her to see if there were any residual damages from this morning. She was angry all right. I suspected that a lot of her anger was rooted in her emotionally barren sex life. I also decided that Dawn was jealous. I mused on this as I sifted through the huge emotional garbage dump in her mind.

“Dawn needs to take out the trash,” I thought to myself with a grin.

Dawn noticed my grin, which pissed her off even more, so now she turned up the flame of her righteous indignation on me and really let loose. I attempted to respond once, but she cut me off and continued her ranting. By now, her daughters, Randi, and Nicky had joined us. I was content to let her go on until she ran out of steam.

“Maybe this will help her to get rid of the garbage,” I thought.

But when she turned her wrath on Catherine, well, that was too much. It was time to put a stop to this!

“Dawn. STOP!”I said firmly as I stepped between them.

“Don’t you speak to me! I’m taking my daughters and getting out of this place!” Dawn yelled at me.

I remembered the Old One showing me a way to emotionally stimulate the nerves surrounding the primary motor cortex where it connects with the basal ganglia, until the subject could no longer move their voluntary muscles. I had looked at it, but not tried it yet.

I tried it now on Dawn. Instantly, she quit ranting in mid-rant. Control of the tongue and the thumb takes up the most space in the primary motor cortex and are usually the first signs that you’ve squeezed it enough. Evidentially, I had, because Dawn reacted almost immediately as she suddenly became quiet, and then began to crumble.

I caught her and eased her down to the couch, instructing Nicky and Randi to sit on either side of her to hold her upright. I did a deep scan, partly to see the effects of what I’d done, but more to confirm the real reason for the ranting. After scanning her, I turned to address Mary.

“Honored One, I must ask you a hard question. Does the Waharahi have the authority to replace the chief of the village, if he deems her inadequate?”

“I do not know if it has ever come up. But no true Omugi would ever deny the gods anything within their power to grant.”

“Am I Waharahi? Am I a god?” I asked her.

“Oh yes, Waharahi, you are our hope for salvation.”

“Is Rising Star your daughter?”

“Right now, I am embarrassed to say yes,” Mary said, looking at Dawn with disappointment.

“Do you have others?”

“None living,” she said sadly.

“Then I, Waharahi, appoint you the new Chief of the Omugi. As your eldest daughter, I claim Rising Star as my tribute. I will take her now. You should probably tell her goodbye, for she may not survive to return. I will also take Morning Star, and Evening Star, for I will not break up a family.”

Everyone begin speaking at once. I wasn’t in the mood to listen, at the moment.

“SILENCE!” I roared. “Do you wish to challenge the Waharahi?” I asked Eve, menacingly.

“No, Waharahi,” she replied meekly.

I just looked at Rose.

“No, Waharahi,” she replied meekly.

I then looked directly into Dawn’s eyes. They were filled with fear.

“Do you wish to challenge the Waharahi?” I thought to her, allowing everyone to hear my thoughts. She was silent for a long moment. You could feel the discomfort in everyone in the room as we waited, but especially in Eve.

“No, Waharahi,” Dawn finally thought with resignation.

“I am about to release my hold on you. When I do, you will then crawl on your hands and knees and beg my Honored Grandmother for her forgiveness. If she does not forgive you, your punishment will be three times worse,” I warned her as I released her.

After checking that all her parts were working, Dawn slid to the floor, and crawled meekly over to Catherine. There she proceeded to beg in heartfelt misery. I’ll hand it to her. She was as exuberant in her apology as she had been in her offensive tirade.

Catherine sat stoically for a few moments, letting her beg. Then placing her hand on Dawn’s cheek, she said, “Remember, dear, he really is much older and wiser than he appears. And...” she paused, briefly, “that you brought this on yourself.”

“I guess Dawn deserved that little dig at the end for attacking Catherine,” I thought to myself.

“Come!” I commanded as I turned to leave. As Dawn made to stand, and without turning around, I said loudly, “How dare you walk like a Waharahi! On your knees! Now!” I commanded. Then continued down the hall.

I felt a strange sensation coming from someone. Quickly, I scanned the room without turning around. It was Sarah and she was quivering. This whole thing had caused her pussy to become moist as she watched the scene with Dawn unfold. I filed that fact away for later.

“Grace, would you find Eve and Rose suitable quarters for tonight, please?” I thought to her.

“Yes, Waharahi,” she giggled.

I entered the room and motioned her to the bed. I took the only chair and turned it facing her as she now sat on the floor beside the bed. I just looked at her and waited. I had already read her.

Finally, the silence became too much.

“What are you going to do to me?” she asked me.

“What CAN I do to you?” I countered.

“Anything you want, I guess,” she said.

“Let me know when you are sure,” I told her as I sat quietly, waiting. It looked like I was in for a wait as Dawn stubbornly refused to say anything else.

“Grace, I’ve had an idea. Could you bring Rose and Eve to my room in five minutes?” I thought to her. Grace said she would, so I remained silent as I continued to wait on Dawn to make her decision. Finally, the silence got to her.

“You are Waharahi. You may do as you please,” Dawn said. Then taking a breath she added, “Only, I beg you, please don’t hurt my daughters!”

“Good!” I said. “Now that we have that settled, you and I are going to talk, and then you are free to go, and I will rescind my order to your mother, and you will be Chief of the Omugi again.”

Dawn was bewildered. “I don’t understand. You are Waharahi. You could take me and I cannot stop you.”

I remained silent, watching her.

“Have I displeased you so much?” Dawn finally asked. “I know I am not young like my daughters, but I do know how to please a man. Am I too old and ugly for you?”

“Quite the contrary,” I replied. “As a woman, I find you desirable. But as a mother and Chief of the Omugi, I find you lacking!” I said.

“Oh!” she said quietly. That one had stung, but she realized the truth of it as well.

Taking a deep breath, I exhaled and spoke to her very gently. “Dawn, for the next few minutes, I’d like you to be a mother. Later, we will discuss your charms as a woman.”

“Ah ... if you say so, sir,” she replied, still bewildered at my change in demeanor.

The knock on the door came on cue and Grace entered leading Rose and Eve. Seeing their mother sitting on the bed, unharmed, surprised them and they rushed to her side. Since there were no other chairs, Grace knelt by my side.

“Rose,” I said. “Tell your mother what we did in here after dinner, please.”

“Why, we talked, Mother. The Waharahi explained much and taught us many things!” Rose explained.

Dawn just looked at her daughters, and then at me. I could see the surprise in her eyes.
