Chapter 7
On the Pain of Death
Once Gloria had restrained Jared once more, she made her way over to me. She took a seat next to me and laid my head on her shoulder as she rubbed my back, telling me. "Everything is going to be alright as long as you do what I tell you to do when I tell you to do it." She handed me a glass and told me to drink it. "It might be a little bitter. Because I have crushed up the pills, you can use them to do what you need to do. To show me that you are still able to prove that you really like having sex with me, and not some boy or a man like your Dad or Mr. Vincent."
She was right. It was bitter and quite disgusting. It even had a foul smell I couldn't place. I nearly vomited all backup. I knew the moment I tasted it wasn't the crushed-up sex pills; it was something far worse as she forced it down my throat. My stomach turned and cramped and knew I must have drunk something poisonous for the effects to be taken on so quickly. How long I had I did not know.
She said once I had drunk the foul concoctions. "But for now, you are going to have to do most of it on your own as you bathe me as I bathe you. I know it's hard because you are not in the mood after being with your brother, and it has been a very long and trying day. And I am sorry, but we all have to get through this. I am not going to tell you when I am testing you. You will know it when it comes.
"If you need to pee now's a good time to do it, not that it will matter when I began the portion of the test because it does sometimes happen. And I won't judge if you do and if you do so here in the bathtub it's only urine, and won't hurt us if we swim in it. Just don't drink the water. Once I have completed the test. I will drain the tub, and we will begin again for the last and final test. Providing you live long enough, and you don't make me stop so I can remove Jared before we continue, giving you one last chance to save yourself.
"You only get the one-second chance because this test is crucial proving to me you haven't been tainted and you're a smart boy. You can figure out what that means. If not, you'll know soon enough. If you fail, then it's over; I will take Jared out of the room. All you will feel is a sharp poke from the tranquilizer. And then the test will be judged if you can continue, and you deserve that second chance to prove yourself because of it. It is very painful that you have been a victim, not a sexual predator.
I want to remind you once again, and I believe you are already aware, that there are hidden cameras in this room. These cameras have been designed with the specific goal of empowering the people I represent to make informed decisions about whether or not they should share the information they are seeking. I must acknowledge that you have successfully passed the previous tests thus far. If they decide, you deserve that chance. I will wait until you wake up and we will let you prove yourself. That you deserve to live, and we will continue where we left off.
Until you prove yourself or I kill you. Your adoptive parents will watch until I give the signal that you either passed the test or you have failed. You won't know until you are walking out of this room or if I have killed you. Now do not hold back. Now is the time to give me everything you have got. I want you to fight, I want you to live, and I want you to show these people that you are willing to do whatever it takes to win."
Gloria had me stand on the seat I was sitting on and held the pee jar so I could do so. She didn't help me this time other than keeping me balanced. Once I had, she had me stand in the middle of the tub and remain there until she began to bathe me. I could hear Jared crying through his gag and told him again I loved him, and I was going to do whatever it took to prove myself, so he and I could get the hell out of this room. To think I liked houses with these tub rooms. Now I doubted I would ever like them again, or anytime soon anyway.
Gloria surprised me as she came around me, handing me a sponge and a bar of soap to use. Asking me to show her my wrists so she could re-bandage them. I felt her take off the gauze that had come loose and put some more ointment on them; she told me she was now going to put two bracelets on me to prevent doing any more harm to my wrists.
She had me feel them, finding they were made of leather and something soft and furry on the inside. Telling me if I do everything she says, we all will be walking out of here, providing I pass this next test. I felt the bracelets tightening as she asked if they were too tight. I nodded, and she loosed them a little until they were just bothersome, but snug, because of the gauze she had put on me.
At first, it surprised me as I felt something inside of the space in my mind and in my very soul, as if I was being filled with light and warmth. It took me a while to figure out what it was as I latched onto it. Once I realized what I was feeling, I nearly lost my balance and sobbed, causing Gloria to ask if I needed a minute. I said.
"You are really going to kill me if I fail … or if even if I don't, because I know too much?"
She placed her hands on my face and said. "I really don't want to, but yes. You know what will happen if I don't. So, it is very important that you keep fighting, you keep doing what I ask, and when I tell you to do something you do it no matter what … you do it. Once you have proven yourself and have obeyed. The tests will be done, and we will all walk out of here as promised. Do you understand how important it is you do what I ask? Are you willing to fight and not hold back? Or are we finished?"
I asked. "You didn't answer the question or if even if I don't fail, you are still going to kill me, because I know too much?"
Although she didn't provide an answer to the question, that was the only thing I needed clarification on. The silence emanating from her spoke volumes, making it clear that there was no escape from our impending demise unless help arrived in a timely manner.
Instead, she repeated back her question? "Are you willing to fight and not hold back? Or are we finished?" Which said, without a doubt, we were all going to die.
She waited for me to answer; I said. "I will fight, and I will obey as promised."
She put her arms around me and kissed me and said. "Good, then let's be done with it." I didn't have to turn my head, nor did I need my eyes to see Jeff. However, it seemed funny seeing him fully clothed as he took a seat in the tub. I questioned if ghosts or spirits get wet. He flickered for a moment, letting me know he was still with me, and smiled at me as once more took his place, but now he was naked just like the rest of us.
He said. "Much better don't you think? I wanted you to know that I loved you and wasn't going to distract you by sitting in a tub of water fully clothed. Which would be stupid when I needed you to be focused on her and not me, considering she holds your life in her hands. Now show her you want her like you have all those girls I have seen you with. Making me wish I didn't do what I did because of the pressure I was under and because a girl dumped me after we had sex together and we had been dating for over a year."
He waited for my reaction not knowing he had been with a girl before. Yet again, I never really asked. He said. "Kid'o, I have been with several, not as many as you have, but enough to know what to do with one. I didn't want you to think about sex until you were ready for it. Now she is waiting for you."
I watched him flicker as if he had never been there in the first place, but I felt him near me, feeling that one part of me that had been empty and cold for so long being filled with such warmth and such love. It boosted my spirits and refilled my strength, taking away the tiredness I was feeling and the sickness I was feeling in my stomach, and the wooziness in my head.
He whispered in my mind what I needed to do to get my engine running again. I asked him if he could show me the room to give me an idea of what she had planned.
He said. "Kid'o, don't think about it. It will only make it so you can't do what you need to do and fail the test. I am not that eager to have you join me. If I can prevent it, I will. That's why I am here to help you until help arrives. Now, remember she likes it rough. Give her a good slap on the butt to show her you are ready."
I did better than that as I came around her. In a swift motion, I drew her nearer to me, encircling her in the safety of my arms, and then proceeded to passionately kiss her, fueled by the need to eliminate any threat she posed before she could strike me. Then surprised her as I slapped her butt and moved my hand down to her sweet spot. I stimulated her, while Jeff helped by placing an image in my mind of one of my mermaids.
If he hadn't, there would be no way I could perform what I needed to do without wanting to kill her with my bare hands or wanting her to even touch me. Needing a wire brush to scrub me clean after touching such a monster like my father and Crawford. When I released her from the kiss, I took her lips with me and bit them hard enough to draw blood. She growled at me. "So you want to play?"
I answered with a loud roar and said. "I promised you something more once we are in the tub," doing my best not to sound angry, as it boiled hot inside of me.
I wasn't worried about Jared or anyone watching us. Because if they had, they would have seen me have sex with Mrs. Vincent and all day with Gloria, and besides Jared has seen me enough times having sex with Mom and our sisters. I had nothing to be ashamed of, and Jeff had just confirmed it. By telling me how proud he was of me. I made my next move as I was more than aroused as I picked her up and slowly and made it to the side of the tub. Almost tripping over Jared's feet, which gave me a sign of where he was.
I made a mental note to stay to my right. I cringed, feeling the metal rings at the bottom of the tub as I stubbed my toe and did my best to ignore the pain as I quickly set her on the edge of the tub. I felt her move something as it made a metallic ring as it rolled. I did my best to ignore it and stood her on top of the tub and leaned in and quickly found her breasts, using them as the center of the map of her body.
I did everything I did the last time me and her were in the tub at the first of my tests. Except for this time, I was a little rougher as I bit her harder as well as took my time showing her I really like having sex with girls. She screamed repeatedly as I roared with anger and hunger. Knowing if I lived through this that Shawn and Arthur were going to pay, and I was going to expose them all for what they had done to me, without cause or reason.
I was angered by how many times I had to prove that I wasn't tainted; I didn't, or had I been victimized. When I have proven time and time again that I hadn't been. I wasn't worried about passing that part of the test because I knew she wouldn't find anything.
I was more worried that she'd kill me anyway just to save herself and her family, realizing that part was a lie angering me even more. Having Jeff here really didn't make it any easier. Knowing he was here said I was about to die. Not that I hadn't missed him, because I have. I listened to Jeff as he told me when she was getting bored and what I needed to do to fix it so she couldn't think I wasn't doing my best. The moment I did what Jeff told me to do she answered with a resounding. "Yes! Yes! That's what I am talking about!"
I could only imagine what we looked like as I moved around the tub as we rolled back and forth from one spot to the other, changing positions as I showed her that she really turned me on as I inserted myself inside her, going deeper with each thrust, regardless of if it was the front or the back. I would force her to climax over and over, as I waited when I needed a small break. I was nearly spent by the time she surprised me. Placing my arms at the side of her hips as I drove myself deeper inside her.
I roared as she screamed, feeling her climax and me at the same time, and I was going for a new record as she placed my hands on each side of her hips, and I brought her to me as I pleasured her sweet spot. I was about to flip her over for the fifth time until I was unable to move my hands or arms, feeling her slide out from under me.
I felt her body shiver as she panted harder than she had ever before. She said, gasping for breath to give her a moment to grab us each a cold soda. I said. "Hurry back my cupcake, I am not done with you yet." I waited for her to say something, but she didn't as she kept panting. Jeff said I had done well, and felt him taking the tiredness away and filling me with such love and admiration. The moment she came back she slid back underneath me, and I gave me a chance to swallow almost a whole can of soda as she held it to my lips.
I heard her put the can aside, and she allowed me to put me back inside of her once we had resumed the position. She waited until I was about to climax and reached around me, placing her arms around me, yet she didn't make full contact as I felt her arms sliding at my sides and until she slipped between my legs. I jerked when I felt my ankles being slapped with another set of bracelets and a slight pull as my feet were nearly touching the sides of the tub where the steps were.
She came up out of the water, and I could hear her breathing hard, as if she had been underwater for too long. I asked. "So, I am assuming the tests have begun?"
She says. "Yes, but you began the test once I bathed you. This is just the next phase of it where we find out without a doubt if you have been tainted, or have been victimized. You live as if you have just been victimized. You die if you have been tainted. There is a difference. Tainted means you will enjoy what I am going to do, and your body will tell me that you are.
"If you have been victimized it well tell me the opposite, telling me you do not enjoy it. I am sorry about this, I really am. I will not shame you, nor should you feel ashamed if you scream out in pain or lose your bodily functions. I am going to insert a fake penis inside of you. If you live, no one will judge you for how you handled the pain, providing if you have just been victimized as your younger brothers have, and other boys you are now aware of.
"In time, your body will heal, and you will only feel pain if someone tries to victimize you again, but it won't be as bad, and the pain will subside quickly. As you know, it is different for women vs. men. Because women were meant to be shown this kind of pleasure and men are not regardless of age.
"And again, I am sorry, but if you live, you will truly understand what your brothers and many of the boys you know have gone through as being a victim. The problem you are going to face is if you are no longer the victim and have become the person who victimizes. If you are thinking what I know you're thinking, the answer is yes. Jared has been asked and has been prepared so you will be given the chance to see what it feels like and compare to men vs. women.
"I cannot tell you the outcome if you disobey, which could lead to your death for disobeying me, just as it could if you don't. It all depends on the outcome of these two tests and what you have proven today. Pass or fail. Live or Die. Right now, you are under my control. You can do nothing to prevent me from finding out which class you are in, and your body will determine that during this portion of the test.
"You cannot stop me from killing you. If you try, it will mean a slow and painful death. As I said, I do not have a choice. I am held hostage, as you are. You know the stakes we are both facing if we both fail, or we both win. I would prefer that we both win, again I am sorry." Again, I knew it was a lie. She had no intention of me walking out of here alive. It has been stated that by all the strange extra pills and foul-smelling drinks, she has been slowly poisoning me. I felt like my entire guts were turning and twisting inside of me as nearly vomited, but couldn't because the gag kept choking me every time my stomach heaved.
I questioned how long I had when asked Jeff as looked at me, stating that I'd be fine as he placed his hands on my head and then frowned as he said I had hours, maybe a day maybe two. But he had already made contact with a few friends of his and they were now en route to me.
