Chapter 6: Escape to Witch Mountain

July 12th - July 23rd, 1988

As we reached the base of the mountain, Nathan complained, “But why would you want to help her? She has done some very bad things to me and...”

I groaned, “For the last time, Nathan. I did it to help myself as much as her. Shit, I’m hungry. Hey, how did you guys know I was up there, anyway?”

Gordon said with a grin, “When your link thing broke with Nathan, he came running to us saying he thought you died or something. When we couldn’t find you, we went to Grandfather and found out you were up there with Lea.”

Jonas added, “Grandfather wouldn’t let us go up there until after our shift.”

Gordon teased, “Not that Nathan got much done in his shift.”

“I worried very much,” Nathan admitted without looking at me. “I do not wish to find another partner.”

“Sssshhhiiit,” I said before hooking my arm around his neck and saying, “Same here, amigo. Mucho gracias for trying to come to my rescue.”

Nathan gave me an embarrassed glance before smiling and saying, “Next time, I shall not be so forgiving.”

I let him go and gave him a friendly shove he immediately returned. I shoved him again, knocking him into Jonas, who shoved him back towards me. After three or four more shoves, Nathan got tired of being the pinball and took off running. We chased him around the town until he surrendered, then he let us carry him above our heads like a trophy all the way to the slut house.

We split up to go to our rooms, and the reception I received from Nana and Sakura when I went into mine almost made me forget how hungry I was.

“I missed you sooo much, master,” Sakura said, hugging me while Nana went to prepare dinner.

I lifted her up and carried her to the bed, then carefully laid her down on her back and crawled up to her face.

“Sakura, I want you to do me a big favor. Something that probably goes against everything you’ve been taught to believe but would mean a lot to me.”

“What is it, master?” she asked innocently.

“I would really like you to call me Joey instead of master when we’re alone or when Nana is with us. Do you think you can do that for me?”

Her face paled, and for a moment, I thought she was going to cry when her lower lip started quivering and her eyes filled up with tears. But my concerned and loving expression made her realize I wasn’t rejecting her, and then what I was truly asking her must have suddenly sunk in.

When I saw the acceptance in her eyes, I smiled, then received the biggest hug I could ever imagine from a girl barely fourteen.

“I love you, Ja-Ja-Joey,” she said experimentally, soft enough that only I could hear.

“I love you too, Sakura,” I said with emotion.

She relaxed her hug and gently pushed me up so she could see my face. When she saw the wetness around my eyes, she smiled before her own eyes formed more tears which I gently wiped away.

I knew from the expression she wore that she was about to try and kiss me, and sure enough, she suddenly started rising up to do so, but then stopped and laid back down.

“What’s wrong, Sakura?” I said, confused. “Did I do something wrong?”

“No, ma ... Ja-Joey,” she said nervously. “You didn’t say I could.”

“Sakura, look me in the eyes and do what you want from what you feel. I don’t have to give you permission. You’ll know it if I don’t want something, okay?”

Her eyes were looking deeply into mine the moment I spoke it, then when I saw her still hesitating, I simply moved forward and kissed her myself.

It took a couple of kisses before she let herself act freely, letting go of her little slave girl self and embracing the young woman instincts we had worked so hard to control.

I was too hungry to do anything beyond kissing, and after we had our fill of that, I got up and checked on dinner while Sakura stayed on the bed with a fresh lover’s glow.

Shit, I was hungry. I had two servings of everything, then was so full I just laid down next to Sakura on the bed and relaxed instead of helping Nana clean up the mess.

I was surprised when I realized I had dozed off, for I had practically slept the whole day already. Sakura was curled up against me asleep, but Nana was wide awake watching us from the foot of the bed.

“I’m sorry for waking you, master, but you said you wished to shower before going to bed,” she said after a moment.

“I guess I did, didn’t I,” I said, knowing I hadn’t that day, but many days in the past.

I carefully got out of bed without waking Sakura, then followed Nana to the bathroom, stripping my shirt and shorts off as I went.

I helped Nana remove her T-shirt and panties that I had made the girls’ official outfit during the day, then surprised her in an embrace just as she turned to turn on the water.

“You know what?” I asked tenderly.

“No, master, I do not,” she said openly pleased.

“I think you’re just a bit jealous of Sakura,” I said after a light kiss on the lips.

“Yes, master, I am.”

I hesitated from the shock of her frankness but then gave her a generous kiss before letting her go and turning the water on myself.

“Master?” she said uncertainly when I didn’t resume the embrace we had been in right away.

“What is it, Nana? Tell me what you want. What you want and not what you think I want,” I said firmly standing before her without letting us touch.

She opened her mouth but couldn’t quite find the words.

I reached out and caressed the face that resembled my beloved Suzi’s but finding in my heart that everything about Nana was just the opposite from Suzi on the inside.

Without needing to say anything, we simply got into the shower and washed each other lovingly before I fucked her cunt like the sex slave she was. Nana didn’t want things like the privilege of calling me Joey or initiating the kiss first. Benjamin made her desire nothing but pleasing her master in every way and had felt she had been failing to do that from seeing all attention I had been giving Sakura that day and in the past.

As Nana finished sucking my seed out of my shaft, I finished exploring her mind, finding nothing about the three years she had spent with Benjamin, no trace whatsoever in fact. There wasn’t a hole in her memories, for according to them she had been my slave for that period of time. I was really impressed. Not only did Nana speak perfect English that before she only knew a few words of, but her memories of her enslavement and training were just as I would have probably have done it if I had really been doing it back then.

So from that moment on, I stopped comparing her to Suzi and accepted Nana as what she was. She was my servant, my sex toy, my slave, and I would use her as I sought fit knowing she would only be unhappy if I didn’t.

As she was drying me off, I explained to her that I had no intention of enslaving Sakura, something which I hadn’t really realized myself until I spoke the words.

Nana accepted my wishes and promised not to be troubled over what I did with Sakura anymore, then to prove she meant it, she insisted she sleep on the couch that night which I didn’t allow.

Sakura was awake when we returned to the bed, then as I cuddled with her and Nana both, I tried to rationalize how I felt.

Lea’s words, “ ... he needs you to live your life as best as you know how,” kept popping into my head, and it troubled me thinking I was doing what I thought Tim would want instead of what I wanted myself.

But then Sakura lips attached themselves to my left nipple as she laid on top of me part ways, and it just seemed to hit me that I was doing what I wanted. I just hadn’t allowed myself to do it until now.

Watching Sakura make oral love to my chest brought my true feelings for her out again, and the concept that her feelings for me would be used to make her into someone’s toy gripped my heart and started squeeze.

My exact thoughts were, I can’t let that happen to her. I just can’t let my little girl be enslaved. We have to get away from here. We have to leave this God-forsaken place. Shit, what about Nathan? I can’t just leave him without trying to explain. Shit, what a fucking mess.

At that point, Sakura climbed on top of me, and after a few deep and passionate kisses, she looked me in the eyes as she prepared to mount me.

When I didn’t object, she worked my girth into her young cunt, and I could tell she was pleased that it didn’t hurt a bit this time.

While Sakura rested a moment with her eyes closed, I looked over at Nana and saw she was for the most part content after already getting hers in the shower. I reached over to her right breast and gave it a healthy tweak, sending waves of pleasure through her body with my magic fingers doing their thing.

Sakura was momentarily distracted by Nana’s gasps and wiggles but quickly returned her attention to her own pleasure from feeling my dick pulse within her stuffed cunt. I loved the way her mouth formed an O whenever she pushed herself back down onto my cock in her slow but steady humps. She lasted a lot longer than she had in the past, probably from building better muscles in the legs from her previous fuckings.

I really was enjoying her tight cunt fucking me like that and was kind of glad that she had to stop and rest a few times just so my urge to cum would go down. She tried her best at bringing herself and me to orgasm, but after four tries, she gave up and just sucked my chest some more while squeezing her pussy muscles around my dick to keep me hard.

Finally, in a surge of frustration, she said, “Could you fuck me master?”

I hesitated a moment before realizing calling me master had just been a slip of the tongue, then rolled us over and started the humping motion.

I went as slow as I could for as long as I could, but when I experimented in going faster, she came, hard. When she didn’t object to me continuing, I fucked her a little faster and ended up having her orgasm twice more before spurting my load onto her chest and collapsing on top of her.

I rolled us over when she wiggled uncomfortably, then laid there a while basking in the moment before realizing she had fallen asleep.

I spent most of the night thinking how I could get the three of us out of there without getting caught, and also trying to figure out how to break it to Nathan without him somehow giving us away. I dozed off a few times, and at one point Sakura rolled off me without waking me, for when I did awaken, I found her lying between Nana and me with one leg still entwined with mine.

I’ll always remember watching them sleep beside me while the sun began lightening the room. I would lose myself in my thoughts, but every few minutes, I would take another look at how far the shadows had moved across their naked bodies. Once, Sakura awoke while I was studying her, but went back to sleep after giving me a hug.

Nana awoke at her regularly scheduled time, giving me a smile from finding Sakura’s arms still around me. She dutifully got up and got dressed before preparing breakfast, then was patiently waiting for me to finish eating for our morning shower and fuck.

Sakura was clinging to me the entire morning, insisting she join us in the shower and promising she only wanted to watch. Nana was a bit upset about this until she saw I was delighted that Sakura was speaking her mind, then simply accepted it as the way it was going to be.

Nana and I went through our normal routine, then we both washed Sakura before getting out. I was being dried off by the pair of them when Sakura suddenly sighed and quit, then when I asked what was wrong, she admitted she had hoped to watch me fuck her in the ass.

I saw right through her. Despite everything we had been doing the past twelve or so hours, Sakura was still driven by the desire to complete her training. She hoped I would take her other cherry soon, but couldn’t bear to ask me after all the loving we had been doing.

After trying to talk her out of it, I loosened her up as much as I could before putting it in, then ended up blocking the pain when she couldn’t stand it very long.

Sakura was all too pleased to go with me to walk around the town. What I actually was doing was looking for a way out that wouldn’t be detected, but it became pretty clear to me our only hope was walking out the front entrance.

We stopped by the pit and chatted a while, Gordon and Jonas having joined Nathan in a gang bang with Hye and were getting cleaned up when we arrived.

I was really starting to feel guilty about planning to leave without him, but seeing how well Nathan was getting on with our peers reinforced my guess that he’d want to stay. This was his home, the only home he’s known for years, and now that he fit in and made peace with the rest, I couldn’t imagine him leaving it just to go with me.

And to be honest, taking him with me would jeopardize our chances of getting away. While I could be gone for a day or two without being missed, they would be searching for Nathan before lunchtime if he didn’t show up at the pit one day, and the first person they’d want to talk to would be me.

It took me until that Thursday to work out all the details for our escape, yet I still had no idea how to break it to Nathan and just decided to get it over with.

I waited until I figured Nathan would be getting ready for bed, figuring if anything went wrong and he tried to stop me, I could put him to sleep and then have that night and part of the next day before anyone would start looking for us.

Nathan was already in bed, enjoying his sister’s mouth on his cock when I knocked.

“What is wrong, amigo?” he asked when he saw the stress on my face. “Has Sakura...”

“She’s fine. In fact, she better than fine. That’s why ... Shit, Nathan,” I sighed, sitting down on the bed beside him. “I want you to know that you’re the best partner I could ever have, and I’ve had more fun with you than I’ve had in a long time.”

“Si, I feel the same way,” Nathan grunted. “You have given me so much, amigo. I could never begin to repay you.”

“Shit, you gave me just as much as I gave you. At least you had voice before I came along. We helped each other equally you know?”

“I still feel mucho gratitude for you picking me to be your partner,” he said honestly.

“Well, the others were being jerks to me just like they were to you, they just weren’t being as obvious about it. You were the only choice, amigo. I’d make the same choice again.”

“I’m am very happy to hear that. For the past few days, I felt as if you were upset with me. You seem very tense when around me. Why is this?”

“Shit. You’re right. It’s because I ... Shit, I don’t know how else to say it, but to say it.”

“Then say it,” he said, getting a bit tense himself.

I looked him in the eyes and said, “I’m leaving. I’m taking Nana and Sakura back to the states with me, but I couldn’t go without telling you.”

“When?” he said softly after the color returned to his face.

“Tonight,” I simply said, now avoiding his eyes.

“Do you know what would happen to you if Grandfather catches you?”

“Yes, I know. I’d probably forget my name and everything else.”

“May I ask why you want to leave?”

“There’s lots of reasons, I guess. But one of the biggest is to get Sakura away from here so she can grow up like a normal person and not as a slave. I can’t bear thinking of her becoming something like Nana.”

“I will get my things,” Nathan sighed. “I trust you have a plan on getting us outside?”

“Huh? I do, but ... What do you mean you’re getting your things? You’re not really going to leave with me, are you?”

“I cannot let my best amigo wander around my country and get caught watching a sunrise,” he said matter of fact like.

He got out his pack from our two-week excursion and started selecting clothes to take.

When I was too shocked to reply, he turned around and said, “And without you to protect my secrets, I would also not know my name by the end of the week.”

“Shit,” I finally said, realizing my mistake. “I’m sorry, Nathan. I didn’t think about them finding out you knew before I left. But what if I...”

He walked over to me, put his hands on my shoulders, looked me square in the eyes and said, “You wish to leave, then I wish to leave. You wish to stay, then I wish to stay. I owe Grandfather nothing now that you have shown me what I can do. He did not give me the one thing I desired, and that was respect. You did. Now the others respect me, and yes, I will miss them and the pit, but we are partners. We shall have these other things no matter where we go together.”

All I could do was smile and nod, but when he released my shoulders to go finish packing, I was overwhelmed by my feelings and grabbed him and hugged him.

At first he resisted, but he relaxed a moment later and gingerly returned the hug. I probably would have done anything he asked of me right then. That’s how touched I was by his ... loyalty? I guess that’s what it seemed to me at the time. Now I believe he didn’t wish to lose the power the share link gave him as much as any feelings of loyalty he had towards me.

I was surprised when he considered aloud whether or not to take his sister with him, but I insisted he should otherwise he may never see her again.

Two hours later, the five of us were outside waiting for a guard with a dog to move on before we tried to slip through the front gate.

While we waited, Nathan nudged me and said telepathically, <Promise me this one thing before I risk all I am for your sense of honor.>

<What’s that?> I thought back to him while concentrating on the situation at hand.

<If when we get to your homeland you make up with your girlfriend, you suggest to her we have a ... double penetration?>

That got my full attention, but when I saw the wicked smile on his face, I had to muffle my chuckle so the dog wouldn’t hear.

Just as I finished giving Nathan a friendly punch for making me laugh, the guard left his post to go pee. That was exactly the break I was waiting for.

While the guard was pissing down into a drainage ditch and the dog was waiting its turn to do the same, we snuck past the first checkpoint and were out of sight by the time they were done.

The next obstacle was an electronic alarm that was very similar to the one my parents had installed after recovering from Steven’s brainwashing. I had the door to the maintenance access crawlway open in less than a minute, then spent nearly a half an hour having cussing fits while trying to unbolt another access door whose bolts had been welded shut.

I almost called the whole thing off at that point, but luckily Nathan spotted another one further down the spider web filled crawlway, and after three tries, it opened up into another crawlway branching away from the one we were in.

Unfortunately, it was a bit muddy, but there was another access door that while it didn’t lead out to the same place, it at least opened for us and we were closer to getting away than before.

You see, the crawlways were within the fortified wall, and while there was no way to get out that way, it did provide us with needed cover to get past a lot of security. I had to scout around in the dark a little to figure out where we were, then we carefully made our way to the last door between us and the main entrance.

It took me a little longer to open that door, for the lock on it was a lot more complicated and I wasn’t all that experienced in lock picking. At least the alarm was as easy as the first one, and after ten minutes of sweating it, I had the door open.

As we walked down the tunnel-like entrance, Nathan slapped me on the back and grinned at me for he knew as well as I that there were no guards or other detection devices beyond lookouts watching the entrance, and I was already taking care of the lookouts at that time.

But then just as Nathan reached the end of the passage, he froze. I nearly bumped into him before noticing and was about to make a joke of it when I saw his face was blank.

I knew that expression all too well and was in the middle of saying, “Oh Shit,” when two figures stepped around the corner ahead of us. I felt a familiar tingling before I imagine my face went blank as well.

The next thing I knew, I was lying on a bed without a stitch of clothes and sore cock. My brain felt sluggish, and I had this strange taste in my mouth, but I managed to say “fuck-n-shit-to-hell” a few times before sitting up and taking in my cell.

Cell ... Shit. So it wasn’t a cell, but just because there weren’t any bars on the windows didn’t make it any less of a prison. I was actually back in my room, alone.

Not surprisingly, the link with Nathan was gone, and I couldn’t seem to feel him or anyone out with the little telepathic ability I had. I felt strangely calm about all this, and oddly enough, I decided to take a shower after noticing the little bit of dried mud still clinging to my shins.

I knew I had spent an unknown amount of time being fucked by a twin, and that the next time I saw one, it would be just before I forgot everything I ever knew. Normally this would have scared me shitless, but the twin apparently had done something to make me stay calm and relaxed like I felt then.

I even packed my stuff up and made the bed thinking it would be impolite to leave the suite like that. I also was tempted to get dressed, but I knew that would be a waste of time. I would only have to take it off again for my reprogramming fuck.

When everything I could think of doing was done, I simply sat on the bed and waited. My mind wandered a bit, and I began wondering what happened to Nathan and what would happen to him and his sister.

The more I dwelled on this, the less ... patience I had, and by the time I heard someone coming down the hall, I had torn my room up and was again sitting patiently on the bed once more.

When the door opened, I immediately asked, “What’s going to happen to Nathan?”

Kain didn’t mask his surprise but didn’t bother answering it either. He had a pair of twins right behind him, and only motioned I should follow him which I did after feeling a warning from their empathic touch.

I felt ... humiliated as I followed them naked to the palace, Peter and a couple of the girl voices watching from a safe distance, seeing I was in serious shit and was about to get my punishment. If they hadn’t already known, then they did now.

When we reached Gladius’s office, I was really getting concerned when Nathan wasn’t there.

“Where’s Nathan? What are you going to do to him? He doesn’t deserve...”

“Silence, slave!” Gladius snapped. “Your betrayal should be the only thing on your mind. Nathan’s loyalty to you was expected after seeing the bond between you two from before. Your fates have always been linked.”

“You bastard. You knew I’d try to leave, didn’t you!”

“You overestimate me, boy. I gave you what you believed you have always wanted, a chance to use your abilities to their fullest, then gave you a home and a challenging position to apply your skills to. And what do you do to repay me? You betray me by attempting to steal one of the most promising girls I’ve seen in years along with abandoning your post and that of your partner’s. You’re not worth my time to tell you this.”

I was about to argue this with him when the thought suddenly occurred to me he must want something from me to bother interrogating me like this.

I looked him in the eye and said, “What do you want from me? You can’t tell me you enjoy watching me squirm.”

He blinked a moment, then said, “Very good. I do want something from you, but I also do enjoy watching you squirm. So let’s see if you can work that out on your own.”

“Fuck you,” I spat. “You want something from me, the least you can do is tell me what it is.”

“Girls?”

I felt that tingle again, then the next thing I knew, I was home, holding a chain in my right hand, staring at...

“Mom?” I gasped as she raised her bloody head up to look at me.

“Why, Joey, WHY?!” she sobbed before I automatically raised the chain up and began beating her with it again.

As my horror and frantic panic overtook me, I felt that tingle again then found myself right back in Gladius’s office.

He waited for me to collect myself, then saw the rage boiling in my eyes when I realized it hadn’t really happened.

“Unless you wish to experience more family get-togethers, I suggest you watch your tongue and start ‘squirming,’” Kain said from behind me.

“Shit,” I gasped, realizing for the first time how powerful his twins were.

“Alright,” I relented. “What would you want from me. Well, I do have a nice body, but then you’re not into gay shit like that. So you don’t want me for my body. If you wanted me for my share link, you would have enslaved me or something to get that, so that can’t be it. But then what can’t you get from me if you enslaved me that you can get this way? Fuck if I know. Unless...

“Holy shit! That’s it, isn’t it! You want my thought encryption! You know if you enslave me, it isn’t worth horse shit because you can’t get past my failsafe in time! HAHAHA!”

“Girls?” Gladius said.

“No WAIT!” I cried. “I wasn’t laughing at you, I was laughing at me! Tim made me put that in so if I got enslaved and he later freed me, I wouldn’t have to redo it all. I later hated him for it, but ... Shit. So what do I get in return?”

“Get for it?” Kain snorted. “What makes you think...”

“Kain,” Gladius warned before saying to me, “You’re in no position to bargain. Either you provide me with the information, or you experience personally torturing every family member you have, starting with your little nephew you care so much about.”

“Tommy?” I whimpered, feeling trapped and very vulnerable, which was exactly what they intended for me to feel.

I agreed, and as I explained the inner workings of what had to be my most prized accomplishment up to that time, I felt truly beaten and felt even the anger and rage I had always counted on to draw strength from in the worst situations leave me.

When Gladius was satisfied he could master my innovation, I went with Kain back to his lab without argument. Nathan was there, his face as blank as they come, and for a moment, I grieved for my friend when he didn’t respond to my saying his name.

“Kain,” I said after laying down beside Nathan with a traitorous hardon. “Who will I be afterward?”

“He’ll be here in a moment,” he said before signaling to the twins who escorted us to move into position.

I was nearly going out of my mind with panic and desire by the time another pair of twins came in with the two male voices who taught the children.

“Nathan, you’re with that one again,” Kain said in Spanish to one of them, pointing at my Nathan.

“Lucas, your soon to be acolyte would like to meet you before he becomes you.”

Lucas grinned wickedly at me, then in Spanish said, “You’re going love being me, kid. I just love the kiddies.”

I just closed my eyes and waited for it all to end, not feeling any emotion besides the dread of an imminent death.

I don’t remember the exact moment the twin began her humping, I just suddenly found myself recalling the memory of Joy fucking me at our camp reunion.

Memories, I had lots of memories. Fun ones, happy ones, tender ones, all the things I did that I was proud of or had a blast doing went first. Tim was in a lot of them, but so was Suzi and for the most part, the ones I dwelled on were primarily about Suzi instead of him.

I had a sense that I was never going to see these memories again, so I was very careful to relish in them while I had the chance. My birthdays, my Christmases, my eighth-grade graduation ... The thrill of driving for the first time alone, and that faithful day I lost my virginity with Suzi on the sofa at school.

Girls I had enslaved, guys I had played sports with, friends from preschool and on ... People’s faces, places I visited, toys I had outgrown and tossed. All these things seemed to whiz through my mind, and pretty soon, my life’s positive aspects were gone.

Then came my betrayal, my plans and plots to enslave Tim to enjoy the things I wanted and he denied. Then his betrayal, his rat, Sarah’s releasing it, my tantrums and my purposely re-experiencing the hatred and anger Steven had given me for him just to make me stronger so I could resist the pull I felt towards him. These things were painful to experience a second time through, but not as painful as the things I did for Steven. Enslaving Suzi ... Watching her as they gave her the drug and her spirit slowly drained away ... Helping Steven break her in. Oh God, that hurt. It was probably the hardest thing I had to endure in my life.

There was no emotion, just pain as I relived these moments of my life. Then when even these were gone, the pain remained.

I was re-experiencing some of my dullest moments of my life, followed by a few odds and ends like embarrassing moments and times I wished I could fly. There was a brief period of nothing, yet I was actively searching my memory for any last fragments, then I suddenly was back in the cave with Lea.
