Part XVI - 7: Escape to Witch Mountain

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 and shit 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 apparently the twin 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 partners. 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 lets 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... 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 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 traderous hardon. "Who will I be afterwards?"

"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 gonna love being me, kid. I just love the kiddies. They're always a good fuck."

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 that second time 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. Suzi was in a lot of them, and so was Tim, but 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 eight 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... Peoples faces, places I visited, toys I had outgrown and tossed. All these things seemed 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 get my revenge on 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, if that didn't 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 suddenly I was back in the cave with Lea...

"... Has anyone told you that you look a lot like your father when he was your age?"

"YOU LEAVE my FUCKING FAMILY out of this, or I'll!... I'll... Oh god... What are you doing to me?"

"Why I'm going to fry your brain with pleasure, Joey... Don't you want me to do that?"

"Don't you?"

"Don't you?"

"Don't you?... "

Lea's face... seemed to hover before my eyes for a long time, so long that my vision blurred until I no longer could make it out.

Then I saw movement, and another voice... somewhat familiar to me... saying something I didn't understand.

At first I assumed Lea had moved closer for the red headed blur seemed larger, her features slightly more defined than before. But as the voice continued to speak, I struggled to focus my eyes while comprehending her words, then found myself becoming angry.

The voice, the female voice was talking about mom and dad... And Sarah... And Tommy... Something about... No... No, not again... They couldn't be... Not Tommy. Please not Tommy... NO! NOT TOMMY! YOU HEAR! I WON'T LET YOU! I WON'T FUCKING LET YOU ENSLAVE THEM! NOT YOU! NOT ANYONE! NEVER AGAIN!"

My eyes focused on my tormentor, and at first I thought Lea had grown up in front of my eyes, but then my memory clicked and I recognized the face of who I knew to be Lea's mother.

Zoe continued to build my anger and my rage to the point I was throthing with emotion, violently spasming as she drove me beyond the bounds of sanity and kept going further and further with the promises of Tim telling me what I could and could not feel, think, even breathe...

At that point the force pulling out these memories stopped, but it was already too late. I don't know what else Zoe said to anger me even more, perhaps she could have said anything at that point and I would have just gotten angrier no matter what. All I know is at some point my anger reached a breaking point, and like a balloon I released it all, flooding the others sharing that virtual space with my insane rage and anger to kill anyone I could get my hands on.

As it all flooded out of me and into the three beings I felt within my reach, the memory of Zoe ended with my vision blurred with a growing redness. When my emotional balloon had deflated from its expulsion of all my anger and rage, everything went blood red, then faded to a fluffy white.

"Joey?" a young familiar voice said. "It's your turn."

I found myself staring at a white puffy cloud in a bright blue summer sky, and after a moment I recalled what I was doing and said, "A turtle on its back doing the back stroke."

"A turtle?"

"That's what I see. Not it, huh?"

"No... Are you sure brothers see the same thing in clouds?"

"Sure I'm sure. Come on. The more we practice, the more like brothers we will be."

"All right," he sighed. "But... We're not really brothers, so maybe... "

"Yes we are!" I said with a lot of emotion. "You're my brother. We're always together, aren't we?"

"Yeah, but... I mean, what if my mom has to take that job in New Jersey. I'd have to go with her, and then... "

"Shut up! Shut up shut up!" I said, fighting my tears. "You're not going to move, you hear! I'll die if... You can't leave me. Don't leave me?"

"I won't," he said with emotion. "I left Teddy, but I won't leave you. I swear to God I won't. We'll always be together, okay?... We'll even have a house together with our wives and all our kids."

"Yeah... " I said, feeling better thinking about that. "Yeah, our kids could play together, and they could all be brothers and sisters like we are... "

"Who do you want to marry? I think I'd marry Toni."

"That's only because she has the same initials as you."

"So? I think that'd be cool."

"Well I'd want someone who... who... who can think on their feet like I can."

"Yeah? Like who?"

"Let me see... Well, Benji is always talking in class, but always gives a good excuse when she gets caught."

"Yeah, but I bet she'll be a woof woof when she gets older with that name," he snickered. "What about that new girl, Suzi? She's already figured Rhonda out and told her to 'jump off one of her daddy's airplanes without a parachute.'"

"Heheh, I bet Rhonda loved that. But Cindy said she was asking who you were. I think she likes you."

"So? We're brothers, right? If she likes me, she likes you."

"Well, I guess... It's your turn, and we got a new cloud above us so... "

I waited for his answer for a lot longer than I should have, then realized the white bulb shaped cloud I was staring at wasn't a cloud, but real light bulb.

I was still a bit dazed when my attention was drawn to the sounds of several people breathing, one of them right into my ear.

I snapped to my senses when I recognized the feel of the twin's body, then carefully rolled her off me and looked around.

All four twins were out cold, just like the three males they were...

"Nathan," I gasped as I scrambled to roll the matching twin from on top of him.

The gasp that followed was orders of magnitude greater, the shock I received when looking at Nathan's face almost caused me to faint right there on the spot.

Before me laid the same dark haired young man I had met a month and a half ago, the same person I had shared my biggest and darkest fantasies with and had grown to trust during our adventures of enslaving and raping the countryside.

But this face... was known to me from before that time. I had loved and hated it, I had kissed and despised it, and now I couldn't believe my eyes that it was the one and the same.

I reached out and touch it, then felt light headed and laid down beside him to think.
