The Love Slaves

The next day there was a problem that caused my freedom from the things killing me. The metal membered Toooilan returned. They had decided that since they couldn’t have me they would take Bonnie, despite the fact she wasn’t a virgin like I had been before them.

He had appeared in the lounge room, knocking Jules and Robert away and paralyzed them with mother before grabbing her. He grinned evilly and, thinking he was safe and no one could stop him, he slowly ripped her clothes from her, ignoring her struggles and cries-thrusting her to the floor and climbing on top of her.

Knowing who and what he was and what would happen to her Bonnie tried harder, punching and swearing and letting her full temper and anger out as she tried to fight him off, but she was no match for him.

He was about to enter her by I, sensing his presence from my room, struggled out of the drugged sleep and towards the room, seeing mother, Julius and Robert frozen helplessly with him holding her to the floor. Arms held arms, knees on her legs and backside raised and erect and huge as he prepared to enter her struggling screaming naked form.

For the first time in my life I truly hated someone, hated him and all them for what they did to me and what he was going to try and do to my only sister. “Get away from her!” I snarled at him and he looked up at me and grinned in gloat “and what are you gonna do about it slave? Touch me and I’ll speed up your death.”

“Get away Lisa!” Bonnie cried out in fear from under him “please get away from him, he’ll kill you!” Who was she trying to rescue? I was doomed anyway and I knew it. But maybe I could take this bastard out with me. “GET AWAY FROM HER!” I screamed at him in anger and hate.

“Hah! Try to stop me!” and in one viscous thrust he was in her and Bonnie screamed out in pain and horror.

This made me totally loose it. He had hurt me, used me, raped me and made me pregnant to alien offspring who were slowly killing me but the breaking point was he had DARED to hurt my family, especially my sister. They were all the only thing left in my life that hadn’t been tampered with and now that was gone. With all my remaining strength I screamed in fury and ran towards him, tubes out and ready to take his entire life-force from him before he could stop me.”

But as they buried into him I felt electricity flooding me, too much and to strong. I screamed in agony this time, my body convulsing at the charge and I heard his laugh and words as I slipped away “you don’t really think I didn’t have a security against THAT did you, you fool! Now die!”

Bonnie screamed my name and started to sob, trying to get to me from under him.

The charge stopped and my tubes pulled away, collapsing beside her, body shaking uncontrollably as the last of the charge took me, and then I looked one last time at Bonnie, eyes dull and clouded-dying I though-blood\energy running from my nose and the corner of my mouth and hands twitching.

“Lisa” she sobbed and her hand strained for mine. With what little will I had left I moved mine to hers and linked eyes with her before my strength left me. “LISA! OH GOD, LISA!” was the last thing I heard.

“Ignore her!” the alien laughed “we have no need of her anymore. We can use YOU instead!” he laughed loudly at Bonnie’s horror, fear and tear stained face and rose slightly and entered her again, only harder than before. Still laughing evilly. However his laugh suddenly chocked off to a cry of pain and before he could even start to really move there was a blue flash of light behind him and he collapsed on top of her.

Bonnie saw a large burn mark on his back, between the shoulder blades and felt a trickle down her side. When the figure didn’t move she realized he was dead, able to push him off and look around for the cause, holding herself and shivering in shock.

Crouched on the windowsill and gripping it with one hand and the other just lowering something was Harold Bankers. He rose, placing the weapon he held in his pocket murmured “idiots” and approached Bonnie. His tough and angry expression didn’t change as he pulled her to her feet and then got down beside me on one knee, pulling the gloves off and the sunglasses from his eyes, again revealing those strikingly intense eyes and the small mounds over his veins.

Reaching out he cautiously shook me, asking softly “my Queen?” as he did a few times but I wouldn’t and couldn’t move.

“She’s dead” Bonnie sobbed, huddling deeper into the rug and Roberts’ arms, hiding her nakedness as well as from the horror of what had happened to her. But Harold shook his head “she is not, just withdrawn so far that she appears that way. I have the power and knowledge of how to bring her out though.”

As they watched the mounds on his wrists opened and his own tubes came out again, taking both my hands in his. The tubes coiled around our joined hands like a snake and entered just below my own, his energy entering me and beginning to slowly fill me, healing what had been damaged by the electricity. The first sign of my return to the world was my own tubes sliding out and burying in his arms, our hands now doubly entwined so he couldn’t pull back if he wanted and my human survival instincts started to suck up all that it could get from him, too strong so that even if I knew I could kill him in this way, I wouldn’t be able to stop.

Finally they drew away and he was free to release his own, turning to the others and ignoring their looks of concern as he barely kept his feet under him-obviously weak from all the strength he gave me-and glared at them and said in a thick angry voice “this is all your fault. If you hadn’t of gone to human doctors with her I wouldn’t have had to leave here and organize to get them back. If I was here I could have prevented this ever happening” he looked at Bonnie and said pointively “to BOTH of you.”

“We didn’t know who and you where at the time, we had to do something!”

Harold was about to retort something when there came a sudden beeping from him, low but persistent. He withdrew a strange watch out of his pocket and strapped it to his right wrist above the mound. It was covered in buttons and a small screen with a couple of lights on either side, one flashing on and off insistently. He pressed a button and asked “what is it Compa?”

A computerized female voice came out of the watch, gentle and apologetic “I’m sorry to disturb your conversation with the Earthlings, Harold, but we’re getting a called from central” the female voice sounded awed by this, like they had never been contacted by them before and they were shocked by the honor. Even Harold calmed, swayed towards the couch and sat down abruptly, straightening his back and despite his paleness looked stronger as he sat at attention “put them through Compa.”

The small screen lit up with a face and a voice spoke "This is Josserrrr of the school contacting Hoooowmm. Answer please."

“Hoooowmm here, yes Josseerrrr, what is it?”

Before the boy could speak another face replaced it, a red headed male about early twenties with pale silver eyes filled with fear and deep concern “Hoooowmm, have you found her yet, have you found my Lisa! I felt her agony and fear, what has happened!”

“My lord” Harold slouched in the chair, self consciously running his left hand through his hair a few times as he stuttered “it is indeed a honor to finally talk to you. My father has told me so much about you-he idolized you and your father the previous king. I only hope I can continue to serve you here on Earth, help the humans build a better world so that Valori and Earth can unite in peace and harmony.”

The figure waved his words away, more worried about me “report, how is my Lisa? What happened down there? I thought she was safe with her family!”

“She was at first my lord. It took me longer than expected to locate her families home and get inside, by the time I arrived the Toooilans had also located her and made their move first. Furthermore I was hampered in my attempt to get to her by her own family” he glared up at them for a second before looking back, as if enchanted by the face, eyes wide and obviously his father wasn’t the only one who idolized him. He went on “they had made her pregnant again, with leech babies.”

At the stricken look on the others face he quickly added “The Breaker returned to take her sister, but she was almost killed defending her. However The Breaker’s defense system also killed the fetus’ before they had a chance to poison her. She is unconscious and will need a huge amount of energy but she will live once Doc can remove the dead from inside her.”

The relief on his face was almost pathetic. He conversed with someone they couldn’t see, snapped an order to someone and turned back to them “Doc and I will be there by the next cycle of that planets moon.” Harold nodded and the face disappeared. The light stopped flashing and the computerized female voice spoke again “that’s it, sir.”

“Thanks Compa. Sign out and don’t disturb me unless another message comes in, alright?” Harold said firmly and the watch answered in an affirmative softly before the entire watch shut down. Once it was silent Harold let his arms fall to his side and sighed heavily, head back on the couch with eyes closed, trying to struggle and compose himself again.

After a silent minute or so Robert ventured to ask softly “that was Lisa’s Arthur?” and when Harold nodded without stirring or opening his eyes mother asked cautiously “next cycle of the moon?”

“Tomorrow night” Harold said thickly and the more they all looked at him the weaker and more exhausted he seemed. Mother reacted to it as only a mother would, moving to his side and insisting he go upstairs for some rest. He shook his head though, looking at her intently with “once the Toooilan realize my lord will soon be here to rescue his love and the metal man is dead they will become desperate to get their property back before then. Until tomorrow night I MUST remain awake and alert to protect my Queen. I will last until then.”

“Can you take human energy?” Jules asked him “you could take some of my energy to help you.”
“Some of US” mother said firmly “we all will. By helping you we’re helping Lisa.”

“No” Harold looked at them all, Bonnie starting to shudder and shake in shock in Robert’s concerned arms. He seemed to relent slightly though and added softly “since I’m half human I can gain energy from food. The more I eat the stronger I will become. No meat and nothing artificial, natural food like fresh vegetables, fruit and rices help a lot.”

Of course!” mother nodded eagerly, turning to the others “Jules take Lisa to her room. Robert, can you help Harold up?”

“I can’t leave Bonnie, she’s going into shock.”

Bonnie weakly spoke “I’m alright” as she shuddered with chattering teeth, sinking deeper into her rug and Roberts arms “just relieved Lisa’s alive and he couldn’t get to and use me like they did her.”

Harold rose slightly and headed towards her slowly, speaking gently to her as he approached “let me help you. I can help and heal you-I can make you stronger-a little like the way my Queen did to your friend here” he motioned at Jules before going on “only stronger in spirit.”

Bonnie hesitated then nodded desperately, showing them all just how much the rape had almost broken her completely. THEIR Bonnie would not need help, she was strong enough to handle anything.

Except this.

Harold took one of her hands in his, the tube sliding out again and digging gently into her flesh, gasping in pain as it first entered and then as he closed his eyes and concentrated she shuddered in pleasure and moaned slightly as the healing energy filled her, healing her and numbing the pain in her opening, repairing it for her but working mostly on the emotional damage though.

When he and the tube drew back Bonnie looked at him in awe and gratitude “thank you” she said softly and gently “that was so…I…well I feel so much better now, as if it was some sort of nightmare and I have just awoken. Thank you so much.”

Harold smiled slightly “just doing my job. You’re part of Lisa’s life, her family so part of my responsibility. That’s why I was so angry before, sorry. I failed in my job by not preventing you being hurt as well as my Queen. Great guard and protector of innocents I am.”

“Like you said, it wasn’t your fault!” Bonnie protested in horror of his guilt. However before anyone else could speak Harold’s legs finally gave under him and Robert caught him before he could hit the floor. Bonnie looked at her fiance and spoke gently to him “take him up with Lisa Robert.”

When the man went to protest she gently stroked his cheek with one hand and said softly to him, firmly “I’m fine love. It’s like Harold has opened my eyes at last. All my life I was letting that bastard who calls himself our father affect me when I swore I would never let his lies or actions touch me. He made me afraid of myself, he made me afraid of the touch of the man I loved for fear something inside me would make you like him. Harold opened my eyes, now I know you would never do that. Now I know who and what I really am.”

When Robert went to protest again she said softly, serenely “go.” With a reluctant sign Robert turned away to help the slowly recovering figure up the stairs, with Jules behind with me, they were half way up the stairs when mother called out “wait a minute, what about HIM?”

Harold looked back at the body, shrugged and said weakly “leave it, Doc and my lord will take it with them when they leave.” Mother nodded a little nervously, eying the body with reluctance.
