“Devin, pl—” she gasped and Devin pushed her back under again. He held her under and she fought him. He pulled her out of the water just as she felt the blackness overtake her.
He dragged her to the bank and shoved her down onto the rocks and mud. Her hands sank into the mud as she coughed up water. Her wet hair was plastered against her face and body. She trembled from cold and terror.
“Get up,” he snarled, pulling her up by her hair.
Her legs shook so badly, she fell back down. Devin pulled her up again with a growl and pulled her forward by her hair. She struggled to her feet and then he dragged her back up the embankment.
“Walk.”
She wrapped her arms around her shaking body and limped slowly through the trees back to the field. He pushed her when she didn’t go as fast as he liked.
Anna was still soaking when they arrived back at the pavilion. Devin took her into the bedroom and pulled out a pair of leather cuffs.
“Since I can’t trust you to stay where you need to be....” He put the cuffs on her wrists and attached them to one of the support poles. “I will make sure you stay in place.” When he was satisfied that she was secure, he instructed Ian to keep watch. “Don’t give her anything. No blanket or food.”
Anna leaned her head against the pole and tears rolled down her cheeks. She was back where she began, but now was cold, wet and bruised. She curled up in a ball around the pole as best she could and closed her eyes. She told herself she’d been in worse situations, but those had merely been worse physically. The pain in her heart was what she couldn’t bear. She dug her nails into the palms of her hands.
Alex! she cried out in her heart. Alex please! I need you.
The thought of him warmed her heart and she clung desperately to the knowledge that she would see him in a few days. A few days and all would be right with the world. She could survive a few more days. Then Alex would make Devin pay for what he’d done. There was no doubt of that.
She focused her thoughts on Alex’s return as she fell into exhausted sleep.
Chapter Fifty-Four
Anna felt her cuffs loosen and she was picked up and put on the bed. Had Devin’s anger subsided? She opened her eyes and found her looking into the golden eyes of Kaveh.
“I heard you tried to run away, Daughter. That was not a good idea.”
Anna grimaced as he stretched out her cold, stiff legs. He pulled her dress off and put the blanket on her.
“I’ll be back in a little bit when you’re warm. Your cold body isn’t something I want to fuck. I prefer warm flesh.”
She watched him walk away and then lay down and stared out at the evening sky. Just a few more days.
When he returned a while later, the sun had set and men had begun gathering in front of the Eagle. She saw many of the politicians she’d seen at the last Gathering.
Braziers were set up in various places throughout the field. For warmth, Anna guessed. The evening was rather cool.
Kaveh closed the side of the pavilion and pulled her blanket off. He sat next to her and stroked her hip. “Much better.” He looked at her sternly. “Don't scream or I will hit you.”
Anna’s eyes widened and she nodded as he turned her over and brought her hips up. “I like fucking from behind. I can get so much deeper.”
Anna shivered as she felt him invading her body. Oh, God, he was right. She groaned and buried her face in the pillow to muffle her cries.
This couldn’t be good for the baby, she thought. Her stomach cramped as Kaveh’s cock penetrated deep into her body.
He let out a low groan as she tightened around him. Tears flowed down her cheeks from the pain. He thrust hard and she bit the pillow to keep from screaming. It felt like he would never finish, but she felt him throb inside her and moan, and then pulled out of her. She held the pillow to her chest and rolled to her side in a ball. Her stomach still cramped.
He reached around her and put his hand on her belly and looked satisfied. “Ian will bring you up when it’s time,” he said, standing and dressing in a white silk tunic and pants.
Anna winced in pain as she looked up at him.
“Don’t worry. It won’t hurt for very much longer.” He gave her a stern look. “Don’t run away. I will find you if you do. And it won't be pretty if you make me go chasing after you.”
Anna nodded and he strode away.
Maggie came into the pavilion a while later and helped her clean up. She brushed her hair and washed her face. She cleaned up Anna’s cuts and then dressed her in another white dress, similar to the one she wore earlier, but there was a slit up the side on this one.
When Maggie said that Anna was presentable, Anna went to the other part of the pavilion to watch what was going on.
*****
She could hear Devin speaking, but from where she was sitting the words sounded garbled. A smoky haze hung over the gathering and the men sat on the grass with their attention locked on Devin. They smiled and nodded when he paused and a few times they applauded. The Elders, wearing their white robes, sat behind Devin on their thrones.
Anna could see the dark-skinned senator that had hurt her in Washington DC. He was sitting front and center in the crowd with an older, white-haired man next to him. Anna remembered something about an election. Was he president now?
Anna could see Jamie sitting to the side of the platform with her normal pleasant, vacant look. The girls from the Manors were naked and sitting along the edge of the men. Everyone seemed to have a slightly glazed look in their eyes.
“What’s with the smoke?” she whispered to Maggie.
“Some sort of airborne drug. It relaxes the men and helps them have a good time. It also helps them with their sex drive.”
“Oh.”
Anna could make out words now and then. Economics. Depression. Socialism. At the end of his speech, the men cheered and applauded loudly.
Kaveh went up on stage and talked about how much the country would achieve with Devin leading the way. “Of course, with any great work like this, there always must be a sacrifice.”
Ian appeared next to Anna and motioned for her to get up. He walked her to the side of the platform where Devin was waiting. She saw Jamie on the platform, standing quietly near a table.
Ian took her arm and guided her onto the platform. Devin saw her standing nearby and gave her a wicked smile.
“Ian....” Anna began.
“Quiet,” he hissed.
Anna bit her lip.
Devin went over to Jamie. “Jamie, my love,” he cradled her cheek and she gazed up at him with adoring eyes. “You are willing to do anything for me, aren’t you?”
“Yes, Master,” she replied.
Devin smiled. “Then free yourself from the bonds of slavery.” He motioned to a pole on the side of the platform and then walked her over. He had her stand next to the pole and then attached chains to her nipple rings, belly ring and pussy ring. “Tear the rings from your body.”
Anna’s mouth opened in shock and she gasped as Jamie began backing away from the pole, her rings pulling away from her body. The chains were short enough that she could push herself away with the pole, which she did once the chains were taut.
Anna could hear her moaning, almost in pleasure. The men below watched with hungry eyes. Jamie stepped back and her pussy lip stretched and then the ring was ripped from her body. She cried out in ecstasy and the men cheered. Next came her belly ring and the men cheered again. Blood ran down her leg and belly as she stepped further back. Her breasts extended straight out and, with a final scream, her nipple rings came loose. The men shouted in approval. Anna could see some of them stroking themselves and it made her feel sick.
Jamie stood panting and Devin went to her and kissed her forehead. He raised his hand and the men quieted.
“I am no longer your Master, darling. Will you still do anything for me?”
“Yes. I will.”
“What will you do for me?”
&
nbsp; “Whatever you want me to do.” She looked up at him with adoring eyes. Blood dripped from her breasts now as well.
Devin motioned to a table at the back of the stage. Several knives and other sharp objects lay on it. “Hurt yourself,” Devin said in a low voice.
Jamie walked to the table and looked at it. She selected one of the knives and turned back to Devin and looked at him.
Devin smiled. “Will you cut off your nipples for me?”
Jamie beamed at him and looked down at her breasts. She pulled at one bloody nipple and swiped the knife under it. Her breast fell back into place and her nipple stayed. The men cheered. Devin motioned for her to throw it in a stone brazier in front of him. She did the same with the other nipple and tossed it into the fire.
Anna looked at the ground, trying not to throw up. Maybe it was good that Devin hadn’t fed her all day, although she was beginning to get dizzy from not eating.
Devin looked out at the men. “What else shall she do for me?” he asked with a grin.
Shouts came from the crowd and Devin laughed. He sat Jamie on the table with her feet next to her thighs, exposing her pussy to the men. “Won’t you carve off your pussy for me? But leave the clit.”
Jamie beamed again and Anna was thankful that she couldn’t see exactly what the girl was doing. But the men could and cheered and shouted encouragement. Anna saw her hand Devin pieces of skin, which he threw into the fire.
Bile rose in Anna’s throat and she slipped to her knees. Her legs wouldn’t support her anymore and she stared at the ground. She and Devin had spent time with this girl. Why was he making her do these terrible things?
A few minutes later, she heard Jamie moaning and looked up to see Devin behind her with his hands between her legs. Jamie was leaning against him and moving in such a way that he had to be rubbing her clit to make her come. Jamie screamed a minute later. One of her massive orgasm screams. Anna knew them well. It happened when pain and pleasure mixed.
Anna saw a knife flash in the light. Devin moved the knife upwards and Jamie grunted.
“Thank you for your clit, darling.” Devin threw something into the fire. He looked at the men. “Shall she do more?”
The men cheered again. Why were they so bloodthirsty?
Devin handed Jamie the knife again and she proceeded to slice off one breast and then the other. Devin put them both in the fire as well.
He helped Jamie lie down on the table with her legs spread. Anna caught a glimpse of a bloodied hole between her legs before she looked away again.
“Shall I fuck you darling?”
“Please,” Jamie moaned.
“What shall I fuck you with?”
She didn’t answer and Anna looked up. Jamie was pointing to something on the table.
“This?” Devin picked up a long piece of metal. It had four sides and a sharp point. It began about two inches around and at the other end was about six inches around before tapering down into a handle. It was about three feet long.
“No,” Anna whispered. He was going to kill her.
Jamie nodded and beamed at Devin. “Please. Please fuck me with that.”
Devin smiled slightly and held up the strange sword for the men to see. They shouted and cheered. Devin ran his finger along one razor sharp edge and lifted it up to show the crowd, a line of blood seeping from a cut. The men cheered harder.
Anna saw him position it at the entrance to Jamie’s bloody pussy and press it inside her. She cried out in pain, but begged for more. Anna watched in horrified fascination as Devin slowly fucked her with it. First just a few inches and then more. Jamie begged for more and more and Devin, with each thrust, went deeper and deeper into her body. Blood dripped into a bowl on the ground. Jamie let out an ecstatic scream as Devin pressed in at least a foot of the metal pole. More blood dripped down.
Jamie continued to beg. It had to be in her stomach now and she was still begging.
“More!” she cried, moving her hips as if she was fucking a man.
Devin’s eyes were wide with excitement as he pushed half of the pole inside her. Jamie coughed and blood came out of her mouth. Still she begged for more.
“Will you give yourself to me completely Jamie?”
“Yes!” she cried out.
Devin pulled back and drove the whole thing into Jamie’s body. She gave one last horrifying scream and then was still. Three feet of sharp metal shoved into her body through her pussy. The area was silent for a moment and then cheers erupted from the seated men. Devin turned the pole a few times and then pulled it out. Blood flowed freely into the bowl, splattering onto the bottom of his white robe.
He sank to his knees and lapped at the blood coming from her body, and then motioned to Ian who dragged Anna to her feet. She resisted and Ian picked her up and placed her in front of Jamie’s body. Devin grabbed her hair.
“Drink her lifeblood. After all, you helped me get her to this point.”
Anna shook her head and Devin forced Anna’s head down.
“Lick,” he commanded.
Anna extended her tongue and took a tiny lick.
“More,” Devin growled.
She dragged her tongue along the bloody flesh and then Devin released her.
Ian took her back to the side of the platform where she sank to her knees, tears rolling down her cheeks. Poor Jamie.
“Let all who want to be bound to me, come and taste her lifeblood,” Devin announced.
Devin picked up the full bowl as the president made his way up to the platform and men lined up behind him. Devin took the bowl and handed it to each of the Elders to drink, and then the Sons.
Anna couldn’t watch anymore and stared at the floor, trying to think of anything except where she was. But the taste of blood lingered in her mouth and nothing else would come to mind.
Eventually the men took their seats once more and Devin stepped to the center of the stage.
“A willing sacrifice is sweet. But an unwilling sacrifice is even sweeter.” Devin nodded to Ian, who pulled Anna to her feet.
She pulled away from Ian as he dragged her to a second table and sat her on it. Concerned murmurs from the men filled the area.
“Oh, I’m not going to kill her,” Devin said with a smile. “She’s too valuable.”
The men laughed.
Anna trembled as Devin walked towards her. She shook her head and tried to back away, but Ian held her in place. Kaveh, Val and Sohrab, the Immortals, walked to her side and Ian released her. Anna made to escape, but the Immortals grabbed her and held her on the table. Val held her arms, Sohrab held her hips. Kaveh stood next to Devin.
Devin lifted her dress and stroked her belly. “Behold this little bump. Inside her belly is an Immortal baby. This is the sacrifice I seek.”
Anna screamed. “No!”
She lashed out at Devin, kicking and screaming. Kaveh had to come and stand on the other side of her to hold her down so she couldn’t move anymore.
She stared at Devin and pleaded with him with her eyes. “Please, Devin,” she begged. “Don't do this.”
His eyes narrowed and his nostrils flared. “How dare you address me by my name, slave,” he growled.
Anna’s lips parted in surprise. She hadn’t even realized she’d done it. “I’m sorry, Master,” she whimpered.
“The child’s purpose is to be a sacrifice to me, Mistress. You cannot stop it.”
Devin nodded to Kaveh and Sohrab and they opened her legs. She kicked furtively as they tightened their grip on her limbs. Val pushed her elbows behind her back, making her sit up slightly.
Devin reached toward her and she screamed and fought, but to no avail.
“No!” she begged as Devin began working his hand inside her.
She whimpered as she felt his hand move further in. She looked up at the sky and screamed Alex’s name as Devin increased the pain and pressure.
Devin pulled his hand out and Anna wailed as she saw the bloody mass in Devin’s hand. He he
ld it up for all to see, and then dropped it into a bowl on the brazier. It sputtered and he watched it for a few minutes before picking up the bowl and bringing it to his mouth.
Anna gagged and one of the Immortals put his hand on her head. The urge to vomit disappeared, but the nausea remained.
Devin turned to her with the bowl in hand and an evil grin on his face. Her eyes widened as someone grabbed her hair from behind and her jaw was forced open.
She shook her head and tried to scream, but Devin tipped the bowl to her mouth and a hot liquid poured in. A large hand covered her mouth to prevent her from spitting it out.
“Swallow, Daughter, and I will release you.”
She shook her head and watched in horror as Devin tipped the bowl to his mouth again.
His eyes narrowed. “Swallow, Mistress.”
It was a command. As his bound slave, she could not disobey. She swallowed and nearly threw up.
Devin returned to Anna and knelt between her legs to lap up the rest of what he desired from her body.
Anna slumped back onto the table and sobbed. “Alex,” she whispered, grief consuming her.
When Devin finished, the Immortals released her. She went limp; her fight was gone. Tears ran silently down the side of her face and into her hair
“Heal her,” Devin said to Kaveh. “She needs to be punished.”
Kaveh walked over to Anna and began the work of restoring her body to its pre-pregnancy state.
Devin smiled in satisfaction. “And now, gentlemen,” he said to the men in the grass. “Enjoy the rest of your evening.”
Men started grabbing at the surrounding girls and their squeals and screams echoed against the grunts of the men. It was a massive orgy, made violent by the drugs in the air.
Devin came to stand by Anna. She looked up at him, defeated. He yanked her up onto her feet and turned her around so her chest rested on the table. He rammed his cock into her pussy and fucked her hard.
Anna stared at the table and let Devin do as he pleased. She didn’t feel anything. When Devin was done, he removed her necklace and shoved her out into the mass of men.
