The Love Slaves

Sorry the Chapter's so short but you should see why at the end of this. Next chapter-non-con!

***********************************************************

For the next two weeks Julies and another worker who had affection for me called Juno fed me and soon I had enough strength to get up and wander around the house and then further although mother or sister was usually with me to make sure I didn’t go to far too soon. When I fed I made sure it wasn’t enough to hamper them, and enough so I didn’t need anymore for a while. I found I could last three days at the most on the energy from them if I was careful-which was good because they had that time to work up the energy to replace it and they also ate more before and after I did, so they had more than their normal amount.

I wanted to reward them but could think of nothing. Then I remembered the pleasure I got from Arthur’s energy and Julius and thought, they are human and I’m becoming a Valori, isn’t that the same as Arthur and I were? What if next time I fed from them I gave a little back? That would surely be a worth while reward for their help.

So I tried it out next time with Julius to see what would happen. He sat quietly as my tube dug into his flesh and I fed. But just before it drew out I narrowed my eyes and willed a little of myself into him through it. I gave a little gasp of pain as I felt it tear from me and slide into him. Julius gasped in surprise and then moaned slightly as it flowed through him and asked quickly “what are you doing mistress?”

“Rewarding you for your help. Don’t worry this is only a sample of it because if I did any more we would link like Arthur and I. ONLY Arthur and I can be linked.”

As I spoke I stopped and it drew the tube out, watching him lay there in the chair for a few seconds, moaning as my life energy melded with his own and flared his pleasure. Then he sat up slowly and stiffly and I stifled a smile when I realized why. But he wasn’t amused and said softly but firmly as he clamped his other hand to the puncture “please don’t do that to Juno mistress.”

“Why not?” I frowned.

“Think about if for a minute mistress. That sort of pleasure would make any man loose control and attack you for more. You would be safer leaving it to you and your love when he comes for you.” When he saw my bottom lip trembling and tears in my eyes he asked in concern “what is it?”

“Oh Jules is he really coming for me? It’s been seven weeks and still no sign or feel of him. Where is he?”

He took my in his arms gently as if afraid he might hurt or break me and spoke softly “of course he is mistress. Think about it for a minute. Doc sent you here where HE thought you’d be safe, right? Arthur didn’t know where he sent you and would have to search who knows how many other worlds-inhabited or not. But he would keep searching until he had found you or realizes where you really are.”

“You think so?” I looked into his eyes to see if he was telling me the truth or just trying to comfort me “really?”
“I know so mistress. Who would want to hurt you like that?”

“Thanks Jules and call me Lisa. I hate it when you call me mistress you know that. You’re like a father to me and it feels weird that you call me that.”

“I must call you that, your mother insists you know.”
“Then call me Lisa when she’s not around, please Jules.”

“Alright” he said after a long pause and I smiled up at him “Thanks Jules, for both-you know. You may go.”

“Yes mistress…Lisa.”

The next day was when they revealed the surprise Julius had mentioned. I was wondering the hallways, thinking of Doc again and the others were clearly worried. The entire day I had been moping about the house, walking so slowly and deep in my thoughts that I was like a ghost haunting the house. They must have decided that they had had enough of it and needed something to pull me out and decided to use what the had been obviously saving for when I was back to normal.

I was gliding past the lounge room door when mother called out to me softly “Lisa would you come in here a minute please?” Rocked out of my ravine I entered the lounge room to find everyone seated around the warm fireplace and looking at me expectantly. I came forward towards them slowly, looking from one solemn face to the other and asked in a confused voice “What? What is it?”

“Sit down, I want to talk to you.” She said this with a repressed smile and a little unsure I did so and asked “what’s this about?”

“Describe Doc to us again” she said calmly, then as I was about to protest she quickly added “I’ll explain in a minute just do as I ask.” I did so after a hesitation and then frowned “why did you want to know again?”

“Is this him?” and a picture was pushed into my hands. I looked down and closely, my eyes widening “It looks like him incredibly. Why, who is this and what’s he got to do with him?”

“This is Donald Anderson of New Orleans. He was a revolutionary new Practitioner who mysteriously disappeared seven years ago. Not a single trace of him has been found in all that time, until now.”

“Donald Anderson, my god mother you found his past! You found out who he was! If he was alive he’d be so happy, I’m so happy!” I threw myself to my feet and my arms around her neck, laughing in pure joy.

“You won’t believe how good it is to hear you laugh again” mother said with a smile as she handed me a thick manila folder “and you won’t believe how much trouble JULIUS had to go to too get this information. But it was worth it.” Julius smiled and nodded when I looked at him and I grabbed him, pulling him to his feet and dancing around the room with him, laughing and crying the whole time “I can tell Shana! I can tell Shana!”

Jules laughed out loud at my excitement but it wiped off when my knees suddenly gave out and he just caught me shy of the floor “I’m alright” I managed softly and he picked me up “I just used too much energy too quickly.”

“I’ll take her back up to bed” he told them and as he turned to go I cried “the folder!” Mother handed it to me and I let Julius take me upstairs to my bed. I sat up for hours and for a full day and night I didn’t leave my room and whenever someone looked in on me they found me there, lamp or curtain open and reading from the folder.

On the second night I was there the worse thing happened. The Toooilan found me and at first I thought it was Arthur but I soon saw who it really was. I awoke that night after falling into an exhausted doze to my new senses telling me something wasn’t right about the room and waking me up quickly. There was a large light in the corner glowing, slowly growing bigger with a figure forming in the center-a familiar figure.

“Arthur?” I questioned softly, hardly daring to hope “is that you? Have you found me and are going to take me home?”

“It is not your Valori pet” came the nasty familiar voice “but someone better.” The laughter caught my memory before the shadowed and fully former figure did. “Noo” I moaned softly in horror and denial “”no, it can’t be!”
