Chapter 5: Sacrifices

Day 6: Sea Caves

Walter

I was turning away when I saw movement and my pistol was in my hand and I stared in shock at the person laying on the wet dock. She was naked, her slim back to me and I walked over to her as I heard the rattle of chains. Kneeling beside the woman, I noticed several items about her. One, her face and body had been painted with some type of ink. Two, her hands were bound together with chain manacles with another chain which was only two feet long, was attached to her left ankle. Three, she was soaking wet. She flinched when I touched her hand and tried to pull away from me.

"I won't hurt you," I said as I gripped her hand and pulled the pins out. All the manacles dropped to the dock. She looked up at me in surprise as I picked her up. Turning, I noticed she was shivering as I carried her down the hallway to my quarters. I wasn't sure if it was fear or cold. I pushed the door open to the workroom, passed through the entryway, and was in my living room. I set her down on the couch, and pulled the blanket I kept there around her shivering shoulders.

Katia

I watched God remove the bindings around my hands, and I started to faint in happiness that he had chosen me. I was sad for Nakita who was going to go to the Sea God for she feared the water. But it would bring our people hope for good harvests for the next five seasons. I was cold; but when he picked me up and carried me, I cuddled into him, and sighed. We traveled down the passageway and entered God's home and he placed me on a strange log. It was soft and then he wrapped a skin around me that I have never felt the likes of, and I knew I was with a good God.

When he spoke to me, I felt his strength in his voice. I smiled up at him, then my mind comprehended what he was saying, and I kissed him.

Walter

I knelt there in shock as this beautiful girl kissed me. I slid my arms around her. Her firm breasts pressed into my chest and ran my fingers over her back. We separated.

"Wow! What's your name?" I asked.

"Katia, my Lord Azimath. I'm your sacrifice, but surely you knew that my Lord. Just like you know Nakita is the Sea God's Ocenanis sacrifice. I just hope Nakita gets over her fear of the water when he takes her," she said.

"How did you get on my dock? Why are you in the chains? Who is Nakita and who will take her?" I asked.

"Surely you jest Lord Azimath. You chose me when you willed the binding to break, and brought me to where you found me with your divine light," she replied.

Dread washed through my soul as I realized they were meant as sacrifices. "Where were you sacrificed?" I asked.

"On the island. Just like you have ordained," she said.

"Stay here, don't touch anything," I ordered as I ran for the garage. Bursting into the room I shouted for Mike, "MIKE GET OVER HERE!" as I grabbed the six-man zodiac and the large air tank.

Mike came over from where he was stocking the shelves, and asked, "What's up?"

"Grab the paddles, and the engine, and follow me," I said as I carried the Zodiac to the dock. I knelt and plugged the tank in and released the straps on the boat. Turning the air on, I filled the boat as Mike came out with the engine. We dropped the boat into the water and I climbed in. Mike handed me the engine and I set it in its mount. Pulling the cord I started the engine as Mike jumped in and we pushed off the dock.

"What's going on?" Mike asked once again.

"Something I hope isn't so, I said as I steered around the Japanese cruiser.

"Watch the island," I said as I steered towards it.

I watched for rocks as we circled the island. We came around the back side, when Mike shouted out.

Mike

I was watching the island as we neared it like Walter had asked. I was staring at the shore and noticed a few places we could actually land. We darted to the back side, and I saw movement in the water.

'Is that a head? Yes, ' I thought as I looked to Walter, and shouted, "There! Someone is chained to the rocks."

"Go get her Mike, you're a better swimmer then I," he said.

I yanked my shirt off and dove out of the boat. I started swimming towards the person. I slipped between the rocks and reversed my body as a wave picked me up and I my feet slammed into the rock wall. I grasped the edge and felt my work gloves dig into the wind blown rock. Blinking the water from my eyes, I looked for the person I had seen and saw a pair of hands sticking out of the water about a foot away. The wave fell away and I saw a girl looking at me in fear.

'My God. Who could do something like this, ' I thought as I swam over to her. I pulled her hands up, and over the hook that was in the wall and she wrapped them around my neck.

I tried to pull her with me, but she couldn't move so I pushed her against the wall and shouted over the boom of the waves, "Hang on."

Nakita

I watched the God Ocenanis unbind my arms from above and I wrapped them around his neck in fear. I had always been afraid of the water. Why I didn't know but I hoped he would protect me.

I nodded my head and grasped the hook and held on when he told me to. Then he was gone, but I felt his hands sliding down my body to my feet and then I was free as he released me.

He surfaced and I grabbed him in my arms once more and I started weeping in fear.

Mike

I turned the girl around, and gripped her in a rescue move I had learned years ago. I waited for the next wave and when it came, I kicked off as it receded and we started swimming out to the boat. Kicking with my feet, we swam the two hundred feet to the boat. Walter was there, waiting, as I lifted the coughing girl up out of the water. I climbed in, and Walter turned the boat to shore as I turned to the girl and was about to say something but froze as she was kneeing in front of me.

"Lord Ocenanis, I, your humble slave and sacrifice offer myself to you to do with as you see fit," Nakita said as her wet red hair hid her face.

"What?" I asked as I looked at Walter who just grinned at me.

"Mike, meet Nakita. Your new wife," Walter said as he started grinning at me.

"My what?" I asked.

Walter

"Your new wife. You should see mine. She is gorgeous. In fact I think they are sisters," I said as I steered the boat back to shore.

"She can't be my new wife. I don't know her," Mike replied.

"Mike, its either she becomes your wife, or she goes back to where we found her after she returns home, and after what they did to her, I wouldn't wish that on anyone," I said as I beached the boat by the dock.

"You're right," Mike replied and picked the girl up and carried her to the caves.

I watched Mike walk away, and I pulled the motor and laid it on the dock. Grabbing the boat I dragged it inside the cave and went back for the motor. Leaving both there, I shut the main door and went back into my living area.

Katia was sitting where I left her. Walking over to her, I held my hand out.

She offered her hand with shaky fingers and I gently pulled her to her feet. Kissing her on her lips, I led her to the bathroom. Going in, I saw a strange bottle sitting on the counter and I picked it up. Taped to it was a note.

Walter,

This will remove the ink and her body hair. Be careful with the hair on her head, as its permanent. Remember she will be your first wife here, so treat them all well.

Good luck, and Goodbye

Rala.

'Goodbye? What was Rala playing at, ' I wondered as I looked at the girl. I noticed she was beautiful; in fact, she kind of looked like Gail when she was fifteen or so. I silently added to my thoughts as I peeled the paper off and dropped it in the garbage can.

Taking the bottle with us, I turned the water on in the shower and she scrambled away from me with her eyes in fear.

Turning, I said, "It's ok. It won't hurt you."

She dropped to her knees and extended her arms above her head and started bowing to me.

"Oh Great Azimath. Please just destroy your servant. Don't suffer the water on me again," she begged.

Going to her I grabbed her tiny hands and pulled her to her feet. "Katia, I am not a God. I am a man. My name is Walter. This is a shower and it's used to bathe in. Now come, let's get that ink off you," I said as I stripped out of my clothes. I pulled the startled girl into the shower with me and started washing her body. Her long hair I wrapped up in a towel, so that the special soap wouldn't get on it. I started applying the creamy soap to her body. As I scrubbed her, the ink dissolved and flowed down into the drain. I was very careful on her forehead because of her eyebrows. I didn't want to remove her fine red hairs there so I used a cloth and coated the area and then wiped it away.

Katia

I watched as Azimath ... no, Walter, as he wanted me to call him ... washed the sacred ink off me. His fingers slid over my body and I felt a strange feeling inside my belly. What it was, I didn't know, but it was heavenly. "Master, that feels wonderful," I gasped out and started shivering.

He grinned at me and leaned down and my eyes flew open wide as he licked my breasts.

"I am not your master, I am now your husband," he said.

With a smile on my face, I kissed him all over his as I mumbled, "Thank you," repeatedly.

Walter

I put the special soap down, and grabbed a bottle of shampoo and started washing her hair. Her long flaming red hair hung to her ass as I gently washed it. She started moaning as my nails scrubbed her scalp clean. It took ten minutes to do her hair, and then we stepped out and I grabbed a towel and started drying her. Grabbing a small stool, I had her sit on it as I picked up the dryer and a brush. She jumped when I turned the dry on, but I got her sitting again and I started brushing her hair out.

Mike

I carried the soaking wet girl right into my quarters and to my bathroom. Turning to the Jacuzzi tub, I spun the water on and let it fill. I set her in the tub and grabbed the bottle that was on the counter and read the note.

Mike

This will remove the ink and her body hair. Be careful with the hair on her head, as its permanent. Remember she will be your first wife here, so treat them all well.

Good luck and Goodbye

Rala.

Pulling my clothes off, I got in the tub behind her and wrapped my arms around her. Running the warm water over her body, I said, "Getting warmer?"

"Yes, Lord Ocenanis. Quite warm," Nakita said with a sigh and leaned back into me as her shivering subsided.

"Who?" I asked.

"You my lord. You are the God Ocenanis. You came and brought me to your sea home. I will be your willing slave and do as you command my lord," Nakita replied as she leaned forward and looked back over her shoulder at me.

"No, I am not a god. I am a man. My birth name is Mike. I wish you would call me that. And yes this is my home, and I hope you would call it your home as well and consent to be my first wife," I said as I reached out and touched her chin with trembling fingers and looked into the sea green eyes.

"I don't understand. Only a God could have come to me, removed my bindings and command the ocean to carry me with you to your magic cart," Nakita replied as she turned around placing a leg on each side of me.

"No, I just have training to swim in the ocean. I can teach you the training too. As to freeing you, that was easy. You could have freed yourself as well if you had tried, but I understand you are afraid of water," seeing the look come back in her eyes, he answered her unanswered question, "No I didn't read your mind, I saw you were afraid in the water and again here in the bathroom."

"Oh," she said and slid closer to me and asked, "What is this master? Do you desire me?"

I groaned as she gripped my cock and started rubbing it between her legs. I started kissing her neck, but the salt water that had dried on her body turned me off so I grabbed the soap and started washing her. Once I had her clean, I grabbed a face cloth, coated it in the liquid and started washing her body. The ink came right off, and when I ran it between her legs, her pubic hair fell off as well. I had all front done but her face and I set the cloth aside. Washing my hands off, I took her long hair and grabbed a towel. Rolling the mass of wet red hair up into the towel, I had her hold it above her head while I did her back and legs. They were soon smooth as silk and I took the sprayer and washed it off after I pulled the plug.

Taking the cloth I carefully did her face, and chin, and down to her neck. She was so cute I couldn't help but not kiss her and I did. The cream even took the black lines they had used to highlight her mouth off as well. I had her close her eyes, and using just a finger, I wiped her eyelid off. I left her long lashes.

"Damn, you're so sexy," I said.

"What is sexy?" Nakita asked with a confused look on her face.

"You are... " Seeing the confused look I gave her the definition of sexy. "It means you are arousing or I am aroused with sexual desire for you," I said.

"Oh you want me?" she asked as her eyes went wide.

"Yes!" I said and the next second she had her legs wrapped around my waist and her arms around my neck. We started kissing as I carried her to the shower part of the bathroom and turned the water on to wash her hair. It took three shampoos to get her thick mass of hair washed and then I did myself with her helping. She kept grabbing my improved dick like it was her personal play toy.

"Just wait until I get you into bed young lady," I told her as I squeezed her ass.

"I can't wait. I have been wanting to become a woman for three years, ever since I had my bleed. Now I will become a woman, and with that a goddess as I mate with a god," she said as I helped her out of the shower and dried her off.

"As I told you before, I am not a god. Just a man," I replied as I swept her off her feet and carried her into my bedroom.

Day 6 Sea Caves

Later that evening

Walter

I was standing at the stove cracking eggs into a bowl when Katia came out of the bedroom. She had put the robe on that I had laid out for her. She saw what I was doing and rushed over and tried to take over from me.

"Master, you shouldn't do women's work. Let me," Katia stated.

"No. This is something I enjoy doing. Now you sit right here," I said and picked her up and set her on the stool. Kissing her lips, I went back to beating my eggs.

"But..."

"No buts! You don't know what I'm making, so you cannot make it," I said interrupting her.

She sighed and nodded her head and watched me intently.

"Okay, Master. I watch and learn," she replied.

I had two of the nonstick omelet pans on the stove, and opened flat. They were heating with a pat of butter in the pans. In the bowls around me, I had my ingredients that she was sniffing. I watched her snitch a piece of ham, and I just smiled at her. I poured some of the egg into both sides of the pan, and let it start cooking as I added the other ingredients.

"Master what are you making? It smells good!" she said.

"It's called a western omelet. You cook the eggs in this pan or a round pan. When the bottom is finished cooking but not brown or burning, you add the ingredients and let them cook some more. Now with me using an omelet pan, what I do is fold the lid and the top layer will or should drop down onto the other half," I said as I added the cheese and then closed the other half.

"I see, and what is this?" she asked.

"That is a spatula. You use it to help slide food out of the pans," I said as I checked her omelet and opened the pans.

Taking a plate, I slid the omelet onto it, and then added some hash browns and toast I had already made. Shutting the burners off, I carried the plates to the table. I set them down, and then filled two glasses with milk. I went to the fridge, and grabbed some apple jelly, and some silverware from a drawer. Turning, I helped her sit down. We sat down at the table just as the door opened.

Katia screamed in happiness as she saw her sister come in. "Nakita!" she screamed.

I watched as she ran to her and started hugging her as I went to the stove and started making two more omelets. While they were cooking, I placed two metal lids over the food while I cooked Mike's and Nakita omelet. Mike walked over and I handed him a cup of coffee.

"Married life agrees with you," I said jokingly.

"You, too," Mike agreed and grabbed a slice of ham from the package.

"Yeah, for some reason, it feels like a hole has been filled in my heart," I said as I checked the food and grabbed two plates.

I slid the omelets onto the plates and added the hash browns while Mike buttered the toast that had just popped up. Handing him his plates, I grabbed some milk and silverware and carried them to the table. The girls were still hugging each other and chatting away.

"Ladies, food is ready," I said and they didn't acknowledge me so I tried again, "Nakita! Katia! Food!"

Both turned and walked over to us. Nakita kissed Mike and sat down while Katia started kissing me as if she hadn't seen me in years.

"Thank you for saving her, master," she said between each kiss.

"It was Mike who saved your sister, not I," I replied as I helped her sit down.

We started eating and Mike and I explained to our wives that we were brought here to help their people. I told them that we had brought information, equipment, and tools to help them grow food crops, and to build houses and raise animals.

"You mean like the yellow men that came many moons ago?" Nakita looked at us in horror.

"Nakita what is wrong? You're scared," Mike asked.

"Many years ago, yellow men came from the sea. They set up several villages and were very mean. They killed a lot of the people before they were wiped out by the gods. Spotted death took them," Katia added.

"Spotted death?" I said as I looked at Mike.

"Small pox, if the yellow ones are the Japanese crew. Then they could have brought it from Earth and infected anyone they contacted or something in the ship could have infected them after they had been here a while," Mike replied.

"Shit. We don't have a vaccine if we come in contact. Yes, I am inoculated and so are you, but what about the girls? What about other groups of natives?" I said.

"I don't know, Walter, and it scares the hell out of me," he said.

"We will have to be very careful. I wish..."

The girls screamed as a box appeared on the table. We calmed them down, and then I picked up the cardboard box that rattled when I brought it to me. On the top was a folded piece of paper.

Walter,

This box contains a cure for Measles, Mumps, Small Pox, Chicken Pox, and several others of your diseases. The box contains twenty bottles, and each bottle contains 1000 pills. Give each person you meet one pill, and only one pill. When they take it, a mole like scar will appear on their left and right forearm. Make sure you and Mike take one as well.

Good luck,

Rala

Opening the box, I pulled one of the bottles out and shook out four tablets. I handed the girls one, and Mike as I explained what they were.

"These will prevent us from ever getting the disease. Rala says just one will protect us for the rest of our life."

"Cool," Mike said and popped the pill into his mouth and took a drink of his milk.

The girls did the same, and I followed. Then I closed the cap on the bottle. We went back to eating our food.

"Let's go sit outside, and enjoy the sunset."

"Sounds good to me," Mike said and we quickly loaded the dishwasher and put the leftovers away.

Walking to the door, I picked up my BAR. Mike went to his quarters. He came back with his rifle, and a small cooler with some bottles of beer in it. We went outside and I walked around and lit the four fifty-five gallon barrels that we had filled with drift and scrap wood. I went into the garage and came back with two more chairs and placed them beside us. Mike set the cooler down, and went back inside to get the 'boom box'.

I opened beers for each of us, and sat down in the chair as Mike turned the box on and Enya came blasting out. We listened to Shepherd Moons as the sun slowly set to the west. Mike and I drank our beer, the girls didn't care for it but they took a couple of sips before handing them back to us.

We drank the beers, and turned off the boom box. I reached over and pulled Katia onto my lap. I glanced over at Mike and saw he had done the same. I started kissing Katia's neck and she giggled as I held her.

I stopped when I heard something in the distance. I picked Katia up and set her on her feet as I picked up my BAR. Walking to the edge of the firelight, I looked down the road and I almost shit myself as I saw what looked like a saber tooth tiger jump up on a rock, and then jump up higher on a ledge, on the canyon wall.

"It's a long tooth, we must get in cave before it catches our scent," Katia said with worry in her voice as she grabbed my arm.

I shook her hands off and raised the big rifle. I followed the cat and realized it was coming right towards us. I fired one round. I couldn't believe I had missed. But I was still tracking the cat, and fired the same time as Mike. Both rounds hit the cat in the chest. It tumbled down from where it was going to jump up on another ledge and lay still. I looked around as the girls stood in the doorway shivering.

I smiled and said, "It's dead. I will get rid of the body."

"NO!" both girls screamed and said, "we need blades."

I pulled my knife and handed it to Katia while Mike handed his to Nakita and they took off for the corpse. Between the two of them, they skinned the cat, cut the paws off and then defanged it in twenty minutes. Nakita ran into the garage and grabbed a small plastic bucket and came back as her sister cracked the skull and scooped the brains into it.

"What are they doing?" I asked.

"No idea," Mike started to say and then watched as Nakita shoved her shorts down and squatted over the bucket and peed.

"That's gross," I said.

"Yeah it is, but they must have a reason to do it," he replied as Katia peed in it as well and then she reached in and started squishing it together.

"Ewww!" I said.

"Must be done. Cures the hide and makes it usable," Katia said as she closed her robe.

Shaking our heads, we went into the garage. We got a wheelbarrow, and came out to them. Mike and I then loaded the cat and rolled it down to a tidal pool we had found with lots of blue crabs in it. We dumped the body in, and it splashed down into the water.

"Good eating in a few weeks," Mike said.

We came back to the cave entrance, and Katia walked out and said, "We need wood to make a stretching rack."

"I've got some," I said and went to one of the pallets from the barrels we had brought. Taking a hammer, I broke it apart and then took it to the table saw and ripped them into one-inch thick strips that were five feet long. I nailed them into a wooden frame and handed it to the girls with a roll of heavy-duty fishing line.

I showed the girls how to unroll the string and to use a hammer and nail to make holes in the edge of the skin and they went to work stretching the skin and then they stopped as they finished. We stood the skin against the wall and went back outside.

Mike came back, rolling up a hose and hung it on the wall.

"Took care of the blood, one visitor is enough," he said as he watched the girls working with the paws. They had skinned them, and extracted the claws and Katia was sitting there looking around. She picked up one of the nails and tried drilling a hole in the bone.

Taking the claw from her, I said, "Follow me."

I led her over to the drill press, selected a small drill bit and put it in the chuck. Picking up some goggles, I handed them to Katia and put some on as well.

"Always wear these when you use this. You understand?" I asked as I turned the drill on when she nodded her head.

Placing the tooth in mounting clamp, I slid it forward where Katia had been scraping a hole. I lowered the bit and drilled a hole clean through the claw. I shut the power down, and released the claw and handed it to her. She smiled and pushed me out of the way and quickly drilled another hole going the other direction so they crossed.

She was so excited she ran to Nakita and pulled her to the drill and showed her what to do. They quickly did all the claws and then the teeth.

I stopped her before she did the same to the long teeth. I had a plan for them. Taking them to the saw I sliced them horizontally with the bandsaw, so they were split in half, lengthwise. Going to a box of blades, I found two that were identical, and were about sixteen inches long.

Back at the drill, I changed the bit to a metal-drilling bit and quickly drilled a quarter inch wide hole in both blade bars. Taking a black marker, I held them to the tooth and marked where the hole and the blade should be. Using the drill I drilled the holes for the blade and then started using the table saw to cut grooves a sixteenth of an inch deep on each handle and four inches long for the blade bar.

With the grooves cut, I picked up a chisel and small hammer and tapped the remnants away until I had the grove ready to check the fit. With both blades ready, I picked up some Rhino glue and put some in each groove and along the handles. I put the blades together and said, "Mike hand me a one inch screw and a nut."

Mike handed me the items from their bins and I put them in the holes and screwed them together. Setting both down to dry, I said, "That's enough for now. Tomorrow I will put leather handles on them."

"I am going to bring the stuff in," Mike said.

"Ok," I replied as I worked.

"You're very clever Master Walter," Nakita said as she examined the new knives.

"Yes you will be greatly respected when you meet some of the people. Long tooth's are greatly prized, but rarely taken because they are so deadly," Katia added.

"I can see why they are dangerous. These are a good fourteen inches long," I said.

I cleaned up my mess and put everything away. I kissed Katia while Nikita walked out to Mike. I was kissing Katia's neck when the air was shattered by gunfire.

I grabbed my rifle, and ran for the door.
