Luke’s HAARP Time Warp: Part 3
Marion readies her attack.
Based on a post by somethin fishy,
in 15 parts. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.
Chapter 11.
The next morning the three of them all woke at about the same time. Luke was
amazed that he had slept in and Cecilia was amazed that she had woken up early
and was so rested. Watching Marion trying to walk, Cecilia fell off the bed she
was laughing so hard. To rub salt into Marion’s wounds, Luke was chuckling a
bit as well and all Marion could do was blush. She was too sore, at the moment,
to do anything else. They all took turns with the chamber pot and after Marion
and Luke had washed each other up a bit; got dressed and went to get something
to eat.
In the dining area Luke was greeted like a mighty warrior; while Marion was
getting jealous looks from every woman in the room. Everyone had heard them and
every woman wanted to be her or have a man like she did. This actually cheered
Marion up quite well. She actually was enjoying the looks that she was getting;
after all it just proved that she had something that none of them could even
dream of. The innkeeper meanwhile had given the lovebirds free food. This
annoyed Luke but he yielded after the innkeeper explained that she was not only
very happy for them, but their love making had lured extra people in for supper
the night before. It had actually been standing room only and the only fighting
had been when someone else made too much noise. She had made more money off
Luke and Marion’s love making then she had made in the previous month. Marion’s
reaction to this got laughs from everyone in the room because she flushed the
deepest red that anyone had ever seen.
Cecilia had also noticed that she had been getting some jealous looks; but
hers were equally from men and women. It didn’t take her long to figure out
that they were jealous of her front row, well bed seat, to last night’s
entertainment. Of course, it didn’t hurt that all three of them smelled like
hot sex. Eventually they got done eating breakfast and returned to their room
to pack up. Within an hour they were on the road to York. The three of them
traveled quickly for Cecilia had given up on killing Marion on the road. Now
she figured that she would use Marion to keep Luke around. Of course, that
didn’t mean that Marion could be free; oh no. The first thing that Cecilia
planed on doing when she got home was to trump up some charges against Marion
to have her thrown in the dungeon. With Marion still alive, Cecilia could use
her to force Luke’s cooperation.
While traveling, Luke had noticed the change in Cecilia’s behavior. At first,
he had hoped that she might be starting to change, but a couple of comments,
that she made, put this theory to rest; after all how often do leopards change
their spots. Marion though, was overjoyed at her sister’s change in demeanor
for she had always wanted a loving sister growing up and now, apparently, she
had one. As they rode Cecilia and Marion talked and joked as if they were the
best of friends. Luke started to just ignore them and instead focused on
keeping a look out for traps.
The rest of their trip back to Cecilia and Marion’s land was uneventful.
Cecilia’s charm though, wasn’t fooling Luke and he began to mentally prepare
himself to do whatever he had to do, including abandoning Marion, in order to
keep his knowledge from getting into the wrong hands. As they passed back into
their family lands, the ladies immediately noticed a change. A blind person
could have seen it. Houses were burnt and the people that lived in the area
were starting to show signs of starvation. It was so bad that even Luke felt
sickened by the sights.
Cecilia and Marion were pale as ghost as they threw up everything in their
stomachs. Eventually, Marion found one of the people that she trusted. It was
an older woman, Lucy, who had lost her husband years before. Lucy had been
Marion’s nanny, back when Marion was younger and they had retained a close
friendship. When Marion first saw Lucy, Marion actually had to look very hard
to make sure for Lucy had changed so much since Marion had last seen her, and
that was just a week before Marion had left for London.
“Lucy what happened?”
“It was Richard. As soon as the three of you left for London, he moved in
and took over. The guards that remained loyal are rumored to be in Richard’s
dungeon; that is if they have not been killed by torture yet. Where is your
father anyway?” Lucy was so depressed and dirty that it broke Marion’s heart,
for she loved this woman. Lucy was the mother that Marion had never known.
“Father was killed in an ambush. John, Cecilia’s fiancé was killed too. The
ambush was led by none other than William.” Lucy hissed at hearing this.
“I am so sorry, Marion. Now the big question, who is the giant behind you?”
“Oh sorry. Lucy this is Luke. Luke this is Lucy. She took care of me when I
was younger. Lucy, Luke is the stranger that rescued Cecilia and me from the
ambush. He killed William with his bare hands and he has been keeping us safe
ever since. Also, we have fallen in love.”
“Oh really.”
“What, I am not allowed to fall in love?” Lucy smiled at this. Marion had
always had a bit of fire in her soul.
“Back to serious issues Marion, you three need to get out of here before you
are discovered. Word has it that Richard has put a bounty on your and Cecilia’s
heads.”
“Not to fear Lucy, the only head that is going to be collected will be
Richard’s” growled Luke.
Lucy now felt a spike of fear go through her. She had never heard a human
sound like this. This Luke sounded much more like a wild animal. More to her
surprise, the look on Marion’s face had hardened as well. Obviously these two
knew something that Lucy didn’t.
“Lucy, I need all the information and rumors that you have on this Richard
bastard.” Said Luke.
Over the next hour the woman told Luke everything that she knew about
Richard. Richard was an older Earl that lived next to their land and had been
eyeing Marion’s family land for years. Richard was one of those who get
everything that he wanted, mostly because he was very quick to resort to very
dirty and underhand tactics to get them. In the thirty years since Richard had
gained his Earldom, he had tripled his land holdings. In the process, he had
killed off whole villages and had put such a tax burden on the peasants living
on his land that many of them were in a constant state of half starvation. This
is what he had started doing in Cecilia and Marion’s lands, but here he taxed
the peasants at such a high rate that many of them would be dead by the end of
the year.
If a peasant couldn’t pay the tax then one of several things might happen to
them: they might be tortured, killed, if there were good looking women in the
family then they would be taken to serve Richard or his men, young boys would
be taken to be turned into soldiers. To put it simply, Richard viewed everyone
below him as an expendable plaything and everyone including the king was below
him, in his mind. By now, Cecilia had realized that she would have to put a
hold on getting revenge on Marion. There was no way that Cecilia would live
long enough to make up the charges against Marion, never mind pump Luke for
information.
Luke listened carefully to everything that the women told him and asked
pointed questions if he thought that they might have missed something. Finally,
Luke asked Lucy:
“Where can I find Richard?”
“Why he now lives in the castle” said Lucy while she pointed at the castle
that had once been Marion and Cecilia’s home. Luke gave Lucy some money and one
of their extra horses and told her to get lost and if he failed to get rid of
Richard, never come back. Luke had figured out, listening to all the stories
that the only way to get rid of Richard was to kill him. So that’s what Luke
set out to do. He had Marion show him a spot from which Luke could watch the
castle and remain hidden. He then told Cecilia and Marion to get back to
Lincoln and stay there until Luke sent for them. Cecilia was good with this,
Marion wasn’t. Eventually it was agreed that Cecilia would travel to Lincoln
with Lucy and Marion would help Luke. The ladies hugged each other when Cecilia
set off with Lucy. Luke and Marion had given almost all their money to Cecilia
and Lucy. Luke had told Lucy that she should find some business to invest in.
That way she could keep making money and would have a secure future.
Luke now had to face the problem that he didn’t know what Richard looked
like. Yes, he could shoot Richard from a long way off, but he had to know what
Richard looked like first. Marion couldn’t take Luke to show him Richard,
because too many people in the castle knew Marion. Then he hit on a solution.
Luke would go into the castle, claiming to be a Scottish mercenary looking for
a new job.
“How are you going to do that?” asked Marion “You’re not Scottish.”
“Something I haven’t mentioned to you, my family name is MacDougall, and
I’ve spent enough time in Scotland to fake the accent good enough. Just have to
hope that Richard doesn’t have any other MacDougall’s around.”
“Damn it Luke, how many more secrets do you have?”
“If you’re afraid of the answer then you probably shouldn’t ask the question
my dear. On the plus side, you already know my biggest one. The rest aren’t too
bad.”
Marion just gave him the stink eye.
“I should only be gone for a couple of days. If I’m not back by sunset four
days from now, get out of here as fast as you can and never look back.”
Marion was starting to argue, but Luke wasn’t having any of it.
“Damn it Marion, think with your head and not your pussy. We can’t launch an
attack without knowing what all Richard has going on inside and you are too
well known to go in. That leaves me, plus I have a military background so I
know what to look for.”
Again, Marion was gearing up for a fight, when she suddenly drew in her
breath. She had realized that once again Luke was right and that if she tried
to go in, she would be caught before the sun had gone done. “Okay, Luke. Get
going, just be careful and remember that I love you.”
“I love you too, Marion. Remember if I’m no back by sunset four days from
now get out of here, and take all my gear with you.” With that, Luke mounted
his horse and started riding toward the family of York’s castle.
Chapter 12.
Getting inside the castle was a pain for Luke, for he was searched multiple
times. Finally, he managed to get through the guards. Once inside, Luke was
amazed at how destitute the place was. Everywhere it seemed there were people
hanging at the end of ropes or in stocks. The air was thick with flies, but the
remaining people didn’t seem to even notice. He saw some desperate people
actually walk up behind someone in stocks and carve a big piece of flesh from
them. A number of the people hanging appeared to be merchants and craftsmen
which amazed Luke; after all what kind of idiot ruler would go after the very
people who earned the money to pay the taxes. Of course, three answers came to
Luke’s mind. Evil despot rulers, socialist, and communist and usually the evil
despot rulers were brightest of the three. Their end goal was always the same
just dressed up in different ways; power for themselves and their supporters.
Luke didn’t even have to look for an inn because there were so many abandoned
homes to pick from but first Luke had to get a meeting with this Richard idiot.
This actually proved to be very easy. Luke just walked right up to the main
castle doors and told the guard that he was a mercenary looking for a job. Luke
looked the part too with two swords, an impressive collection of knives, and a
large shield that he had bought while in Lincoln. When Luke finally met the
Earl Richard for the first time Luke almost fell to the floor laughing. This
guy had some serious man issues. For starters he was hideously ugly. Marion of
course had told his this, but Luke had never pictured something this ugly.
Another thing was Richard was extremely short, even for the era. Luke estimated
him to be no more than four foot nine or ten. Finally, the guy had some kind of
speech problem which for normal people wasn’t a problem, but for people who
thought of themselves masters of the world, this was a major problem.
“So, I hear that you want a job as one of my soldiers?”
“Yes sir, that is correct.” Stated Luke with his slight Scottish accent. He
could have laid it on thicker but figured that keeping things light would help
convince Richard that Luke was really a very experienced soldier.
“Why?”
“Why not. I need a job and I heard that you sir are hiring.”
“Well, let us see what you can do.”
“David, Matt, John. Test this man’s metal.” Richard set back to enjoy the
entertainment. He was going to enjoy watching his best man whittle this giant
down to size. The three of them approached Luke spaced out evenly around him.
Luke waited until the last possible second, then stuck. Using the same method
that he had used on William; Luke sidestepped David’s strike, grabbed his right
wrist with one hand and broke is elbow with his other. Luke then moved and
snapped David’s neck. This pissed the other two men off for all three were very
close. With new fury they moved on Luke who was still calm as ever. This time
he drew his swords. These were hand and a half swords, but in Luke’s hands they
became single handed swords. With longer swords and much more strength, Luke
quickly forced the other two knights back.
Finally, Matt managed to get past Luke’s swords and deliver a blow to Luke.
This blow was normally a fatal blow, but Luke just shrugged it off. Before Matt
could get out of the way, Luke hit him between his eyes with the pommel of one
of his swords. Matt’s skull shattered with the blow causing everyone around to
cringe. Now it was one to one and John was not only in a rage, but was also
fearful. He had seen both his best friends killed before his eyes and this
giant had received a usually fatal blow from Matt. Yet it barely seemed to
affect him. Luke now went on an all-out attack on John. It was all John could do
to keep Luke’s blades off of him. If John didn’t do something fast, he would be
killed too. Finally, John had an opening and he took it. Problem was that Luke
had purposely let his have that opening and taking it proved to be a fatal
mistake for John.
As John delivered what he hoped would be at least a debilitating blow on
Luke, Luke trapped John’s sword and pulled John to him. Close in, Luke dropped
his swords, picked up John, turned him over, and drove him head first into the
floor. This completely crushed John’s head. It was so bad that you couldn’t
even tell that it had been a head. Luke the casually picked his swords up and
sheathed them. He then started to return to in front of Richard who was sitting
in his chair with is mouth open. He had never seen someone win a three to one
fight so fast.
As Luke got back to where he had started, he heard the unmistakable sound of
a bow being drawn. As quick as lighting, Luke drew a throwing knife and let it
fly. It stuck the bowman in the throat, killing him instantly. Luke walked
over, kicked his knife loose of the man’s neck, wiped it off on the man’s
uniform, and returned the knife to its place. By now the look of fear was in
every face of the room, including Richard’s. It was obvious to all that this
man was not one to be messed around with.
Upon returning Luke asked:
“Well, happy now?”
“Yes, you are a remarkable soldier, how did you survive Matt’s strike;
sorcery?”
Luke snorted at this. “Sorcery please? Do not insult me in such a way ever
again. I survived because I designed my own armor which is hidden in my
clothes. Only complete losers blame their loss on sorcery. Real men take
responsibility for their victories as well as their defeats.”
“So, they do, friend. So, they do. Now to business, what would you be
charging for your services?”
“Eighty pounds sterling a year.” He had talked with Marion and she had told
him that while this was a bit expensive Richard would gladly pay it to have a
soldier of Luke’s caliber.
“Sixty pounds a year plus I will provide you with girls to use whenever you
please.”
“Seventy, plus some girls of my choosing.”
“You drive a hard bargain, Hildyard. I accept and my I say that name suits
you very well.”
“Thank you my lord.” Luke had picked this alias for that very reason. It
meant one who is like a wolf in battle.
“Take my new knight to pick his girls.” Richard said to a servant. The
servant wouldn’t even dare look at Richard for Richard would kill anyone who he
thought gave him a disrespectful look. Luke followed the servant into another
set of rooms. There were many good-looking females there, some being quite
young and some being decent looking Milfs.
“Thank you, my good man. What is your name?” asked Luke looking at the
servant.
“Michael, sir”
Kneeling down in front of the servant Luke said quietly to him:
“Never call me sir again, you hear me. My name is Hildyard. Got it?”
“Yes sir, Hildyard” said Michael with a slight grin.
“Good.” Luke had a warm smile on his face “When you tell your friends about
me as I am sure that you will, make sure that you pass the word on to them.”
“Yes Hildyard.”
With that, the servant scampered away almost causing Luke to laugh. Turning
back to the women, Luke had to work to hide just how disgusted he really felt.
These women were being forced into sex slaves because their family couldn’t pay
the sky-high taxes that Richard insisted on levying on them. Luke quietly
looked at each one. Finally, he thought that he might have a way that he could
do this. Going to one of the servants by the door:
“This is going to be a hard choice for me to make. Can you show me to my
chamber and then have the women report to it one at a time please?”
“Yes sir. This way sir.” the servant snapped. Luke sighed to himself, this
servant hadn’t heard his bit to Michael. ‘Oh well’ thought Luke.
Once Luke had been shown his chamber, the women were sent in one at a time
like he had requested. Luke had to be very careful here for one false move on
his part and Richard would figure out that Luke was lying through his teeth and
then it was only a matter of time. As Luke carefully questioned each of the
women, he had to work at sounding like an arrogant mercenary soldier when in
fact all he wanted to do was to get the woman out of there and back to their
homes.
Luke finally picked some young ladies who were all a bit younger than Marion
and an older one that had worked in the castle while Marion had lived there.
The reason that Luke had picked the younger woman was to help protect them for
they were brand new to the harem and were still virgins. He had absolutely no
intention of forcing himself on any of them. Of course, this first night he
would be able to use being very tired as an excuse but the following nights
could be difficult.
Finally, it was time for bed. Luke had managed to procure a separate room
for “his” woman so that no one else would have a chance to force themselves on
them. Luke took the oldest one into his room for the night. Of course, he had
already checked out the room twice and had found no hidden listening holes.
Still, he had to be careful. The older lady was named Stella and Luke put her
age about thirty or so.
“So, Stella what can you tell me about yourself. I find sex to be more
enjoyable when I know something about the bitch.”
“Well, I am twenty-nine years old, I think. Married once but he died from an
accident. I had one child with him but she died before she made it to one year
old. I have been working in this castle all my life and I know exactly how to
please men.”
“What can you tell me about the previous owners? I have heard whispers about
them but none of it makes any sense.”
“Why do you want to know about the previous owners?”
“Because I am curious, so humor me please.”
“The owner was named Charles. He was a good man who lost his wife so after
his youngest daughter, Marion, was born. After this he never remarried but used
the ladies of the castle to keep him company. It was actually very good for us
because he was kind and gentle with us.”
“You mentioned a daughter?”
“He actually had two, Cecilia and Marion. Cecilia was a two-faced wild
child, but Marion was kind, loving, and very intelligent.”
“Was?”
“Yes, word has it that they were killed on their way back from London which
is just as well. For if they had gotten back here, Richard would have had
Charles tortured and imprisoned and his daughters would have become Richard’s
concubines.”
“I see. I can see where death would be preferable. Come here Stella.”
Stella came up to Luke, expecting to be ravaged, but to her surprise Luke
invited her to lay with him while she still had her clothes on.
“Master what is wrong? Do I not please your eyes?”
“Never call me master. My name is Hildyard and that is what I expected to be
called. Understand?”
“Yes” squeaked Stella.
“Good. Now for tonight I just want a beautiful, caring woman to curl up
with; for after my travels and the excitement of this afternoon I am too tired
for any fun right now.”
With that Stella curled up in Luke’s arms and quickly found herself feeling
safer than she had felt in years. This man was very kind and considerate; a bit
weird for a man but Stella could live with that. He was much better than
Richard was that was for sure.
When she woke up the next morning, Luke was gone. His spot was still warm
though so he wasn’t far away. Indeed, as she put her feet on the floor, Luke
came through the door holding two bowls of stew. He gave Stella her pick of the
two and he took the other one. He also gave her a piece of bread and a few
veggies. Now Stella was just blown away by this man. He was far kinder than any
other man she had ever met. She was also glad that he had been able to get the
fresh virgins before Richard could get to them for Stella knew that Hildyard
would be gentle with them; while Richard purposely was extra rough with fresh
meat. After they finished eating Luke gave Stella her assignment for the day.
“I want you to care for my ladies. Get them cleaned up. A couple of them
smell so bad that it is hard to be in the same room with them. Also, if anyone
of the bastards so much as touches any of them I want to know about it. Got
it?”
“Yes, Hildyard”
“Good. Now I have to get going for I have a lot of things to get done
today.”
Chapter 13.
Luke wasn’t actually worried that anyone would mess with his ladies, he had
scared everyone shitless yesterday, but it was always better to be ready. Luke
first went to the training yard to work out with some of the other knights and
other soldiers, at least that’s what he told everyone. In reality he was
looking for weaknesses, learning about these knight’s fighting styles, and
learning just how many men Richard had here. Many of the knights seemed to be
second rate and the soldiers only went about their training half heartily. Luke
could guess why, but the last thing he wanted to do was ask them. The problem
with asking questions is that you tell the person that you’re asking that the
information you seek is in some way important to you so Luke spoke as little as
possible.
After a few hours of training, Luke had a little bit of free time, so he
wondered the town. Everywhere he went he could feel the people’s eyes following
him. He could feel the hatred in their looks. This, of course, put him on high
alert but thankfully no one attacked. He made sure to quietly pay extra for all
the food that he bought. Most of it he would take back for his ladies so that
they could start to regain their strength. He dropped the food off in his
quarters and went to find Richard for he had an important meeting scheduled.
Luke had a contract to sign with the devil.
To Luke’s surprise, the contract was in order and ready for signature. After
signing Luke got his first assignment. He was to go toward London and look for
Richard’s son William. William should have reported in by now and yet nothing had
been heard of him. While out Luke was to keep an eye out for the previous
owners. If Luke met them, he was to kill or capture them, whichever was most
convent at the time. Luke couldn’t believe his ears; this was going to play
right into his hands. As an added bonus, he could take his women with him and
he would have a small escort.
The escort part bothered Luke a bit but they were easy to get rid of. On the
other hand, though…Luke requested that he be able to choose his men. He figured
that three should be enough. Richard agreed but only allowed Luke two. Luke
made sure to pick two of the men that had shown the most hatred toward
Richard’s knights during the training session. Luke told them that they would
be setting out first thing in the morning so they had better get some rest.
Upon returning to his chamber for the evening, he was surprised that all his
ladies were in the room. When Luke entered, they all stopped talking and looked
at him. Luke had to admit that they definitely cleaned up nice. Then Stella
stepped forward:
“Hildyard, rumor has it that you are leaving in the morning?”
“That is correct. Are you speaking for the group, Stella?”
“Yes I am.”
“Well then get on with it or let them speak for themselves.”
“We thank you kindly for the extra food. That was the best that we have ate
since this Richard took over.”
“Well, no thanks are necessary.” Luke said to the group with a warm smile
that always seemed to melt hearts. “Now ladies listen up. I will be leaving
very early in the morning on a special mission. I have been given permission
for you to accompany me on my journey. We will also have a two-man escort. Now
I suggest that all of you get to bed now, for I want to be going through the
gate just as it is getting light. Now move and no arguments.”
Tonight, Luke took the youngest of the ladies to bed with him. Her name was
Gabriel and she reminded Luke a lot of Marion.
“Hildyard, I have no idea how to please...” That was as far as she got
before Luke cut her off with a gentle kiss.
“Do not worry about that for now. Just come sleep next to me for we have to
be up early in the morning.” Gabriel was starting to feel things that she had
never felt before and Hildyard was causing those feelings.
“But” Luke just gave her his special shut the fuck up look. It worked every
time he used it, and it did here as well. Gabriel curled up next to Luke and
like Stella the night before felt completely safe and quickly fell asleep.
As promised, Luke was up very early the next morning. He figured that it was
about three AM. He went around to all the ladies, gently woke them up, and
ordered them to get ready to leave. Then he made his way to the barracks; here
he wasn’t gentle at all. He expected his men to follow orders and sure enough,
neither of them was up yet. Luke woke them up with his boot on their asses.
“Get up you miscible excuses for soldiers! Get up now! When I tell you to be
ready to go at a certain time you had better be ready to go.” Luke’s voice
boomed through the barracks. He was being far meaner than usual on purpose. He
figured that these men would probably continue to be soldiers once he helped
Marion take over and Luke wanted to get a start on instilling disciple in the
men.
Luke had to wait almost an hour for the men to get squared away and ready to
go. Of course, he had already anticipated this; after all that’s why he woke
everyone up so early. Finally, everything was ready and the small group set
off. The two soldiers weren’t happy to put it mildly. They had been dragged out
of their billet before dawn, they were assigned to escort a monster and a group
of his concubines, and the worst part was that this Hildyard had the complete
support of that asshole Earl Richard. They were partisans for the previous
landowner and they were convinced that Richard had something to do with the
Charles’s disappearance.
“When that bastard is busy with his women, it will be the prefect chance to
get rid of him, and then we can rescue those women and get them back home.” One
of the escorts said quietly to the other as they were headed out of the castle.
The other nodded in agreement.
The trip out of the town gates went quickly for the sun was just starting to
lighten up the Eastern sky. Luke made sure that they headed out the right gate
so that Marion would see them. As the group was ready to head into the forest,
the escort was out in front of the group; they came across a man standing in
the road, wearing a long cape with the hood up.
“Get out of our way!” one of the escorts, Michael yelled. He was agitated
and this man had already pissed him off.
“I have just as much right to be on this road as you do.” Answered the man
calmly. This really pissed Michael off and he drew his sword. His companion,
Tom drew his too. Luke just calmly watched but didn’t draw his sword for he
figured who the man was.
“Why are you not drawing your weapon?” asked Stella
“Why bother? The odds are already two-to-one, plus I know who that is and I
have no desire to cross swords with her.”
“Wait. Her?!?!” exclaimed Stella.
“Just watch.”
Marion waited until both men committed to their attack before making her
move. She used her staff to knock both men off their mounts. Then she made sure
to grab both men’s mounts before they ran off. The last thing Marion wanted to
do was to chase done the horses. She tied the horses to a nearby branch. By the
time that Marion got the horses under control and tied up, the men were finally
getting to their feet and to say that they were pissed would have been an
extreme understatement. How had this peasant dismounted both of them? Marion
just waited for them to get up. The men both charged at the same time and this
time Marion actually had to fight back a bit.
She used a leg sweep to take Tom out and she side-stepped Michael. Before
Michael could turn around, Marion had him in a sleep hold and her knee was
planted firmly in his back. With Tom still suffering from the wind being
knocked out of him; it was just Marion and Michael so when she demanded that he
yield, he did. Marion then drew her sword and held it to Tom’s throat and
demanded that he yield as well. Tom had no choice so he did. Marion then turned
to Luke.
“Well big guy, how about you? Are you going to join the party?”
“I think not. I’ve done some dumb things in my time, but I’m not stupid.”
The ladies in his group looked at him, confused. Luke didn’t strike them as
cowardly but here he was refusing to give battle and what was those strange
words that he used.
“No, you’re not, Luke. You’re a lot of things but you’re not dumb.” Giggled
Marion
Now everyone in the group was confused. Who was this man? Why was Hildyard
afraid of him? Who is Luke?
“Now that I have everyone’s attention...” said Marion. She then dramatically
swept off her hood and there was a collective gasp from the group. This man
that Hildyard was afraid of was a woman. Stella then recognized who it really
was, leapt off her horse, ran to Marion, and fiercely embraced her. Stella
whispered in Marion’s ear, while embracing her:
“What are you doing here? Marion, get out of here. Now! Hildyard has orders
to arrest or kill you on sight. Get out of here, I will try and hold Hildyard
off so you can escape.”
“Stella, why would I want to escape?” Stella was alarmed for she cared
deeply about Marion.
Marion turned to Luke
“Seriously Luke, Hildyard”
Luke dropped his Scottish accent “What? I thought it was a nice touch.” With
that he got off his horse walked over to Marion, picked her up, kissed her, and
swung her around. Marion was laughing during this. Finally, they both turned to
the group, who were now confused, afraid, and several emotions that they didn’t
know what they were. Marion then spoke to the group.
“Everyone, I want to introduce to you Luke MacDougall, and yes he is my man.
He rescued Cecilia and I when Richard’s son attacked us. Luke killed William’s
men and killed William with his bare hands. Since then, he has been protecting
us on the journey home. Cecilia has returned to Lincoln with Lucy until the
crisis is over. By the way Luke, your gear is safely hidden away in camp”
Luke turned to the women that he had brought with him
“All of you are now safe. If you want you can return home.”
One of the ladies started crying:
“I cannot return home. Richard’s men destroyed it.”
Marion ran to comfort her while the others gave a similar story. While
Marion was taking care of the women, Luke walked over to the guards.
“Neither of you have anything to fear. I taught her” Luke pointed at Marion
“how to fight. That is why both of you got your asses beat, and no I have no
intention of supporting a bastard like Richard. I am completely loyal to
Marion.”
The relief on the men’s faces was as obvious as it was instant. Michael also
started to look a bit guilty for he remembered their plans and wasn’t sure what
to do or even what to think. Luke saved him from further worry.
“No need to worry Michael. I figured that you and Tom were planning on
killing me eventually. The reason I picked you two was the shear hatred, for
Richard and his men, that I had seen in your eyes during our training season
the other day.” Both of them were now red as beets and Luke had to laugh. “Part
of the training that I got, when I was in the military, was how to look for
traps and part of that is properly reading people. Now I am going to need your
help. I want to help Marion get rid of Richard permanently. Will you two help
me, help her.”
“That bastard killed my wife in front of me after he and his men raped her.
He took my daughters and made them his concubines, and he hung my sons from the
ceiling of my house. He then forced me to be one of his soldiers and if I
refused then my daughters would be killed very slowly. I only became one of
“his men” to hopefully find a way to save my daughters.” Said Tom
“What is your story, Michael?” asked Luke.
“My family was killed several years ago. I had to come to town for a few
days and when I returned home, I found out that they had all gotten sick and
died while I had been gone. I became a soldier so that I would hopefully never
have to return to that village again. Life was good while Charles was the lord
running things, but under that devil Richard no one is safe. I was actually
getting ready to leave and head to London.”
“Well men, will we help me and hopefully afterwards stay soldiers but this
time under Marion?”
Neither man looked at the other one. They went up to Marion, drew their
swords, kneeled in front of her, and held their swords up to her. Behind them,
Luke smiled. He was happy that once again his instincts had been correct.
Marion’s embarrassment was just an added bonus.
“Stand up, both of you. Luke did you tell them to do this?” Marion asked
with a bit of venom in her voice. She had caught him smiling. Luke just
shrugged at her.
Luke and Marion then spent the next hour learning everyone’s stories and
telling their story. Neither Luke nor Marion mentioned that Luke was from the
future. They were not ready to revile that secret, yet. Eventually, Luke and
Marion stood next to each other, Luke with his arm around Marion’s shoulder,
“So ladies will you help us as well?” asked Marion.
“But, we’re women...”
“And I’m not a woman?” asked Marion cutting them off.
“That’s…that’s not what we meant Lady Marion.” Said the women all at once.
Marion looked crossly at them and they all shrunk in fear. They were really
thrown for a loop when Marion then smiled warmly at them. “Not to worry for
once I was like you. I could not defend myself and then I met Luke. He taught
me how to fight and more importantly when to fight and when to retreat and I
bet that he will teach all of you too. One more thing, I am just Marion, not
Lady Marion” Marion then looked at Luke and he nodded.
Chapter 14.
Over the next month, Luke and Marion trained everyone in the group basic
self-defense tactics. The ladies were amazed at how their fortunes had changed.
They had started off as simple concubines only allowed to live if they were
able to please men and now, they knew how to protect themselves. Luke also
taught them how to be soldiers. The guys didn’t really agree with teaching the
women how to fight or be soldiers, but they certainly were not going to
complain. After all they now had a chance to square accounts with Richard. Part
of their training was to ambush groups of Richard’s soldiers as they raided the
countryside. At first the women had a hard time killing, but they quickly got
over it.
When they would look at Marion, they would always take heart. In battle,
Marion was proving to be not only extremely intelligent but also could be very
cold blooded and ferocious when she had to be. She had no problems with
executing prisoners that they took. Marion knew that they couldn’t give
prisoners a chance to escape and warn Richard. They also didn’t have the extra
manpower to guard them or food to feed them. In every battle, they would strip
the dead of gear. When they had extra gear, they would put it in hiding so that
they could come back and get it later.
The better the women became the more disgruntled Michael became. He didn’t
believe in women in combat or even having them as soldiers, but he did admit
that having them in close quarters did provide him with some unique
opportunities for he was a serial rapist and murderer. There was nothing that
he liked better then popping a virgin’s cherry, filling her up with cum, and
then forcing her to suck all the bloody cum off his cock before he strangled
them.
In this group he thought that he had found the pinnacle of virgins, Gabriel.
She was tall, had chestnut colored hair that was full and wavy. She had warm,
brown eyes, a firm pair of tits and with all the exercise that she had been
getting over the last moth; she was developing a very firm ass. He wasn’t
worried about the fact that she had taken to Luke and Marion’s training the
best for he was planning on surprising her, raping, and killing her before
anyone else knew what was going on. Afterwards, he would disappear and continue
his raping somewhere else.
Finally, it was the evening before the group was planning on returning to
York. Their raiding of Richard’s men had taken its toll on Richard’s forces.
They were afraid to leave the safety of the castle for even a short distance
because just leaving the gates was proving to be very dangerous. Marion had
made sure to leave some of the corpses where they could be seen from the castle
walls. She had done this at Luke’s urging while he explained to her the
modern-day concept of Psy Ops.
The more she thought about this, the more she liked it. If the enemy could
be mentally defeated before battle then you would suffer fewer causalities and
maybe you could even avoid a battle in the first place. Michael meanwhile had
been watching everyone in the group and he finally saw his perfect opportunity
to strike. The rest of the group had bedded down early so that they could get
up early and get ready. Gabriel had gone down to the stream so that she could
get a quick bath. She was unaware that she was being followed.
Just as she had got her clothes off, Michael stuck. He came up to her
quickly, put one of his powerful hand over her mouth and held his knife to her
throat with the other one. Normally this would have been more than enough, but
Gabriel now knew what to do. Before Michael could react, she drove her heal
into his knee. While she didn’t break it, he was now hurting and lost his grip
on Gabriel. As soon has her mouth was free, she screamed. Michael was too busy
trying to get control of his prey to care, after all they were a way away from
the camp and everyone else had turned in. Michael was able to land a punch
squarely in Gabriel’s face. This knocked her to the ground and the force of
hitting the ground stunned her. Michael untied his pants and slowly lowered
them.
He loved seeing the fear on his victim’s faces when they realized what was
about to happen to them. As Michael was getting on his knees so that he could
force his way into Gabriel’s virgin cunt, he felt something cold and sharp
touch the back of his neck. This caused him to freeze. Slowly he turned his
head and found himself looking into Marion’s expressionless face.
“Hey Luke, before we go to sleep, I have something to tell you.” Luke looked
down at Marion. She had assumed their usual post coitus spot. Her head lying on
his shoulder and one of her legs over his with her cream filled pussy leaking
on him.
“Oh ya what’s that.” Said Luke half asleep.
“I’m pretty sure that I’m pregnant. Won’t know for sure for a little while
but I missed my last period and I’ve not been feeling good in the mornings.”
Luke was now fully awake. During their time together he had never given a
thought to Marion getting pregnant. Mentally Luke cursed himself for being such
an idiot. Yes, he loved Marion, but Luke wasn’t sure why he had been
transported to this universe and Marion having a child could cause serious
problems if Luke ever got the opportunity to go home. This is why he never told
Marion all he knew about the future. He never even told her his real fears of
leaking the information that was locked away in his head. Marion misread the
look on Luke’s face.
“Don’t worry honey, it was bound to happen eventually and I’m so happy to be
carrying your child.”
Luke took a deep breath. He was going to have to finally tell Marion all of
his fears. As he was about to start, they both heard a scream and recognized it
as Gabriel. Marion grabbed her sword and raced off toward the scream as fast as
she could still naked. Luke stopped to put his pants and then he was following
in Marion’s wake with both of his swords.
When Luke caught up, he found Gabriel on the ground still stunned. Her
clothes had been put on a nearby branch so Luke assumed that she had been
getting a bath. Marion had her sword at someone’s neck but however it was, was
facing away from Luke. Then they turned their head and Luke could see that it
was Michael. Luke went over and helped Gabriel to her feet and gave her back
her dress. Meanwhile Marion was forcing Michael to return to camp without his
clothes. Gabriel had serious problems walking so Luke decided just to carry
her. He gently picked her up and cradling her in his arms, carried her back.
Marion forced Michael back to camp and made him get on his knees.
“You think making me get on my knees will change anything bitch then you are
dumber than I thought you were. I was well within my rights as a man to demand
that she service me.”
Marion leaned in and whispered in his ear “It’s not just me that you have to
worry about. And if you think that raping that poor girl makes you a man then I
have to wonder how humans have survived so long. With such sorry excuses for a
man as yourself, we should have all died off thousands of years ago. I’m
willing to bet that it was actually Adam that got humans kicked out of the
garden and when the men writing the bible realized the truth, they switched the
roles so that history wouldn’t find out the truth.”
By this time, Luke had returned with Gabriel and she was starting to
recover. Luke tried to hand her off to Stella to care for but Gabriel wasn’t
having it.
“I want to see what happens to him.” Her voice was one of iron and Luke knew
that arguing wouldn’t do him any good.
“Well come on then” was all he said.
Luke was actually impressed when he realized what Marion was doing. She was
organizing a trial by jury. Everyone knew what had happened but Marion wanted
to start establishing a precedent. She was obviously thinking long term and
Luke was impressed. Once everyone in the group had gathered; the trail started.
Gabriel told all what happened and what Michael said. Michael was given the
opportunity to defend himself but refused. He obviously didn’t realize Marion’s
growing power and strength. Finally, it was time for the group to vote on
Michael’s guilt or innocence. The entire group voted Michael guilty. Michael
was stunned when Tom voted with the women.
While Michael had been growing disgruntled, Tom had been changing as well.
He saw the women getting stronger and he found that he was being drown to them
and one in particular, Stella. They were close to the same age and had both had
a hard life. Stella, for her part, was well aware of Tom’s attraction to her and
while she hadn’t made a final decision on the matter yet, she was starting to
have naughty thoughts about Tom especially while Luke and Marion were
practicing their love making.
With the guilty verdict, Marion passed sentence on Michael. He would be castrated,
his balls would be forced down his throat, and then he would be executed. Luke
was stunned by her harshness. He had never seen Marion so cold as she was now
but he didn’t argue. After all, this was her time era not his, and after the
word got around of what she was capable of then hopefully there wouldn’t be as
much resistance for her. Marion ordered Michael tied to two trees. She then
stood in front of him as she slowly sharpened her knife. Finally, Marion
reached down and cut Michael’s balls off. As he was screaming, Marion put his
balls in his mouth and then covered his nose and clamped his mouth shut so that
he would have to swallow his balls. After he swallowed his balls,
Michael was crying. Luke and Tom cringed but didn’t look away; after all
nobody had forced Michael to attempt to rape Gabriel. Marion then drew her
knife across Michael’s throat, cutting the jugular and carotid. It took a
minute or so for Michael to bled out. During that time, Stella came up next to
Tom and held his hand. After all, Michael had started off being Tom’s best
friend. Marion then ordered that Michael’s body be left where it was. It was
getting late and they had to travel almost half a day tomorrow to get back to
York.
Chapter 15.
Marion grows as a leader but only after some serious pain.
It was early the next morning when Luke and Marion woke the group up. The
sun was just starting to light up the Eastern sky but everyone in the group was
used to getting up this early. They made sure to cook up an extra hardy breakfast
for they didn’t know when they would be able to eat again. Over the previous
month the scared young women that had traveled out of York with Luke had been
replaced with strong, young women that thought like soldiers and fought like
lions. They now all carried swords and knives and knew how to use them.
Every one of them also wore a leather overcoat that they could wrap around
themselves to protect against swords or even long-range arrows. Under that they
wore a green shirt and pants. Sown inside each shirt was light steel and
leather armor that Luke had designed to deflect blows. They each also carried a
helmet that was radically different than anything else currently in use. It
looked a cross between a World War two German helmet and a modern U S military
helmet. He had designed it this way to be able to give maximum protection with
the materials available. Gabriel also carried a bow that she had gotten to be
very good with. She was good enough to put an arrow into someone’s eye from
fifty paces.
Luke was extremely proud of the ladies and of Tom. Tom had helped train
everyone in sword use and had grown to love each of the ladies like sisters
except Stella. No, her he loved romantically. What’s more she was also falling
in love with him. Tom was armed like all the women and he loved this new gear.
It was lighter than his previous gear and protected him far better.
It was a warm morning when they set out and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.
They made quite a sight the seven of them, Marion, Luke, Tom, and the four
women that were “suppose” to be Luke’s whores. In that group there was from
oldest to youngest: Stella, Pollyanna, Alice, and Gabriel. Stella was the
leader of the group being the oldest amount them. Pollyanna was showing signs
of wanting to become an engineer like Luke. Alice was showing an interest in
medicine, while Gabriel was the sharpshooter and Luke thought that she might
make one hell of a sniper. One of the other things that Luke had started
teaching them was how to read and write for soldiers needed to know how to read
orders and make out reports.
It took the group almost half a day to reach York. During their trip they
had to hide once to avoid a large patrol that Richard had sent out. Yes, they
could have taken the patrol out but it was now far more important for the group
to get to York. When they got to the gates Luke had to talk fast to get
through. Once through, the group was deeply disturbed by what they found. The
town had gone further downhill. The people were now walking skeletons and the
streets were full of filth. The soldiers walking around took whatever they
pleased including having their way with anything they pleased. Marion actually
vomited at the horror that was before her. Still, they had a mission to
accomplish.
All the ladies were well aware that every soldier had their eyes on them.
Many of the soldiers whipped out their cocks and waved them at the women.
Marion actually snickered at some at the tiny cocks that were being waved at
her, for Luke’s was far bigger. At least she was still feeling good enough to
snicker. Finally, the group reached the castle. Luke told the guard who he was
and they let him in. They easily remembered him. Once in the group was in for
another surprise, especially Tom, for Richard was in the middle of an orgy and
Tom’s daughters were in it. Luke had to act fast to keep the group under
control for Tom was furious and Luke’s “whores” were about to gut Richard where
he was. Problem was that there were too many of Richard’s loyal men in the room
and they wouldn’t have made it out, even with their skills. They had to release
the men loyal to Marion first, that is if any of them were left.
First thing that Luke had to do was to make his report. Richard wasn’t happy
that he was being interrupted mid orgy but he did stop long enough to listen.
“I am sorry Milord, but we traveled all the way to London and did not find a
trace of William. We heard some rumors of him but we could not find him.”
“Well, you may go now, but I shall want to talk to you more later about this
matter.”
“Yes Milord.” Luke turned around and got the hell out of there and made his
way back to his chamber.
Once there, he found Tom puking his guts out, Stella was trying to comfort
him. The ladies were white as ghost, seeing the fate that so far, they had
avoided. Marion was the worst one, of the group, for not only was she puking
but she was crying her eyes out. She had known some of the women that she had
seen in the orgy. That is even if you could call the women people anymore. Luke
knew that they had to move fast for he figured that it wouldn’t be long before
Richard came for “his” women as well.
Within an hour Luke got a message that Richard wanted to see him immediately
so Luke put the rest of the group on alert and he left to meet with Richard.
“Ah Hildyard, Good to see you.”
“It is good to be seen, sir.”
“So, you found no sign of my son or his men?”
“No Milord and we traveled all the way to London. If they had been there, we
found no signs of them. We came back a different route and still found no signs
of them.”
“Now tell me about the whores that came in with you.”
“Well, traveling fast does tend to make any fat disappear and they travel
faster when they are healthy.”
“By my count, you left with four, but I could have sworn that I see you come
back with five.”
“The fifth one is my intended, sir. I also must report the loss of one of my
men. We were ambushed on the road. Tom and I had to fight hard to get out. By
the time we did, there was no sign of Michael. We think that the bandits took
him for we searched afterwards and found only some of his gear.”
“So you couldn’t find my son and you lost one of my men in the process;
Hildyard, if you disappoint me anymore then I will take back the whores and
might even have to take your intended. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes, Milord.”
“Good, now get the fuck out of my sight.”

Chapter 11.
The next morning the three of them all woke at about the same time. Luke was
amazed that he had slept in and Cecilia was amazed that she had woken up early
and was so rested. Watching Marion trying to walk, Cecilia fell off the bed she
was laughing so hard. To rub salt into Marion’s wounds, Luke was chuckling a
bit as well and all Marion could do was blush. She was too sore, at the moment,
to do anything else. They all took turns with the chamber pot and after Marion
and Luke had washed each other up a bit; got dressed and went to get something
to eat.
In the dining area Luke was greeted like a mighty warrior; while Marion was
getting jealous looks from every woman in the room. Everyone had heard them and
every woman wanted to be her or have a man like she did. This actually cheered
Marion up quite well. She actually was enjoying the looks that she was getting;
after all it just proved that she had something that none of them could even
dream of. The innkeeper meanwhile had given the lovebirds free food. This
annoyed Luke but he yielded after the innkeeper explained that she was not only
very happy for them, but their love making had lured extra people in for supper
the night before. It had actually been standing room only and the only fighting
had been when someone else made too much noise. She had made more money off
Luke and Marion’s love making then she had made in the previous month. Marion’s
reaction to this got laughs from everyone in the room because she flushed the
deepest red that anyone had ever seen.
Cecilia had also noticed that she had been getting some jealous looks; but
hers were equally from men and women. It didn’t take her long to figure out
that they were jealous of her front row, well bed seat, to last night’s
entertainment. Of course, it didn’t hurt that all three of them smelled like
hot sex. Eventually they got done eating breakfast and returned to their room
to pack up. Within an hour they were on the road to York. The three of them
traveled quickly for Cecilia had given up on killing Marion on the road. Now
she figured that she would use Marion to keep Luke around. Of course, that
didn’t mean that Marion could be free; oh no. The first thing that Cecilia
planed on doing when she got home was to trump up some charges against Marion
to have her thrown in the dungeon. With Marion still alive, Cecilia could use
her to force Luke’s cooperation.
While traveling, Luke had noticed the change in Cecilia’s behavior. At first,
he had hoped that she might be starting to change, but a couple of comments,
that she made, put this theory to rest; after all how often do leopards change
their spots. Marion though, was overjoyed at her sister’s change in demeanor
for she had always wanted a loving sister growing up and now, apparently, she
had one. As they rode Cecilia and Marion talked and joked as if they were the
best of friends. Luke started to just ignore them and instead focused on
keeping a look out for traps.
The rest of their trip back to Cecilia and Marion’s land was uneventful.
Cecilia’s charm though, wasn’t fooling Luke and he began to mentally prepare
himself to do whatever he had to do, including abandoning Marion, in order to
keep his knowledge from getting into the wrong hands. As they passed back into
their family lands, the ladies immediately noticed a change. A blind person
could have seen it. Houses were burnt and the people that lived in the area
were starting to show signs of starvation. It was so bad that even Luke felt
sickened by the sights.
Cecilia and Marion were pale as ghost as they threw up everything in their
stomachs. Eventually, Marion found one of the people that she trusted. It was
an older woman, Lucy, who had lost her husband years before. Lucy had been
Marion’s nanny, back when Marion was younger and they had retained a close
friendship. When Marion first saw Lucy, Marion actually had to look very hard
to make sure for Lucy had changed so much since Marion had last seen her, and
that was just a week before Marion had left for London.
“Lucy what happened?”
“It was Richard. As soon as the three of you left for London, he moved in
and took over. The guards that remained loyal are rumored to be in Richard’s
dungeon; that is if they have not been killed by torture yet. Where is your
father anyway?” Lucy was so depressed and dirty that it broke Marion’s heart,
for she loved this woman. Lucy was the mother that Marion had never known.
“Father was killed in an ambush. John, Cecilia’s fiancé was killed too. The
ambush was led by none other than William.” Lucy hissed at hearing this.
“I am so sorry, Marion. Now the big question, who is the giant behind you?”
“Oh sorry. Lucy this is Luke. Luke this is Lucy. She took care of me when I
was younger. Lucy, Luke is the stranger that rescued Cecilia and me from the
ambush. He killed William with his bare hands and he has been keeping us safe
ever since. Also, we have fallen in love.”
“Oh really.”
“What, I am not allowed to fall in love?” Lucy smiled at this. Marion had
always had a bit of fire in her soul.
“Back to serious issues Marion, you three need to get out of here before you
are discovered. Word has it that Richard has put a bounty on your and Cecilia’s
heads.”
“Not to fear Lucy, the only head that is going to be collected will be
Richard’s” growled Luke.
Lucy now felt a spike of fear go through her. She had never heard a human
sound like this. This Luke sounded much more like a wild animal. More to her
surprise, the look on Marion’s face had hardened as well. Obviously these two
knew something that Lucy didn’t.
“Lucy, I need all the information and rumors that you have on this Richard
bastard.” Said Luke.
Over the next hour the woman told Luke everything that she knew about
Richard. Richard was an older Earl that lived next to their land and had been
eyeing Marion’s family land for years. Richard was one of those who get
everything that he wanted, mostly because he was very quick to resort to very
dirty and underhand tactics to get them. In the thirty years since Richard had
gained his Earldom, he had tripled his land holdings. In the process, he had
killed off whole villages and had put such a tax burden on the peasants living
on his land that many of them were in a constant state of half starvation. This
is what he had started doing in Cecilia and Marion’s lands, but here he taxed
the peasants at such a high rate that many of them would be dead by the end of
the year.
If a peasant couldn’t pay the tax then one of several things might happen to
them: they might be tortured, killed, if there were good looking women in the
family then they would be taken to serve Richard or his men, young boys would
be taken to be turned into soldiers. To put it simply, Richard viewed everyone
below him as an expendable plaything and everyone including the king was below
him, in his mind. By now, Cecilia had realized that she would have to put a
hold on getting revenge on Marion. There was no way that Cecilia would live
long enough to make up the charges against Marion, never mind pump Luke for
information.
Luke listened carefully to everything that the women told him and asked
pointed questions if he thought that they might have missed something. Finally,
Luke asked Lucy:
“Where can I find Richard?”
“Why he now lives in the castle” said Lucy while she pointed at the castle
that had once been Marion and Cecilia’s home. Luke gave Lucy some money and one
of their extra horses and told her to get lost and if he failed to get rid of
Richard, never come back. Luke had figured out, listening to all the stories
that the only way to get rid of Richard was to kill him. So that’s what Luke
set out to do. He had Marion show him a spot from which Luke could watch the
castle and remain hidden. He then told Cecilia and Marion to get back to
Lincoln and stay there until Luke sent for them. Cecilia was good with this,
Marion wasn’t. Eventually it was agreed that Cecilia would travel to Lincoln
with Lucy and Marion would help Luke. The ladies hugged each other when Cecilia
set off with Lucy. Luke and Marion had given almost all their money to Cecilia
and Lucy. Luke had told Lucy that she should find some business to invest in.
That way she could keep making money and would have a secure future.
Luke now had to face the problem that he didn’t know what Richard looked
like. Yes, he could shoot Richard from a long way off, but he had to know what
Richard looked like first. Marion couldn’t take Luke to show him Richard,
because too many people in the castle knew Marion. Then he hit on a solution.
Luke would go into the castle, claiming to be a Scottish mercenary looking for
a new job.
“How are you going to do that?” asked Marion “You’re not Scottish.”
“Something I haven’t mentioned to you, my family name is MacDougall, and
I’ve spent enough time in Scotland to fake the accent good enough. Just have to
hope that Richard doesn’t have any other MacDougall’s around.”
“Damn it Luke, how many more secrets do you have?”
“If you’re afraid of the answer then you probably shouldn’t ask the question
my dear. On the plus side, you already know my biggest one. The rest aren’t too
bad.”
Marion just gave him the stink eye.
“I should only be gone for a couple of days. If I’m not back by sunset four
days from now, get out of here as fast as you can and never look back.”
Marion was starting to argue, but Luke wasn’t having any of it.
“Damn it Marion, think with your head and not your pussy. We can’t launch an
attack without knowing what all Richard has going on inside and you are too
well known to go in. That leaves me, plus I have a military background so I
know what to look for.”
Again, Marion was gearing up for a fight, when she suddenly drew in her
breath. She had realized that once again Luke was right and that if she tried
to go in, she would be caught before the sun had gone done. “Okay, Luke. Get
going, just be careful and remember that I love you.”
“I love you too, Marion. Remember if I’m no back by sunset four days from
now get out of here, and take all my gear with you.” With that, Luke mounted
his horse and started riding toward the family of York’s castle.
Chapter 12.
Getting inside the castle was a pain for Luke, for he was searched multiple
times. Finally, he managed to get through the guards. Once inside, Luke was
amazed at how destitute the place was. Everywhere it seemed there were people
hanging at the end of ropes or in stocks. The air was thick with flies, but the
remaining people didn’t seem to even notice. He saw some desperate people
actually walk up behind someone in stocks and carve a big piece of flesh from
them. A number of the people hanging appeared to be merchants and craftsmen
which amazed Luke; after all what kind of idiot ruler would go after the very
people who earned the money to pay the taxes. Of course, three answers came to
Luke’s mind. Evil despot rulers, socialist, and communist and usually the evil
despot rulers were brightest of the three. Their end goal was always the same
just dressed up in different ways; power for themselves and their supporters.
Luke didn’t even have to look for an inn because there were so many abandoned
homes to pick from but first Luke had to get a meeting with this Richard idiot.
This actually proved to be very easy. Luke just walked right up to the main
castle doors and told the guard that he was a mercenary looking for a job. Luke
looked the part too with two swords, an impressive collection of knives, and a
large shield that he had bought while in Lincoln. When Luke finally met the
Earl Richard for the first time Luke almost fell to the floor laughing. This
guy had some serious man issues. For starters he was hideously ugly. Marion of
course had told his this, but Luke had never pictured something this ugly.
Another thing was Richard was extremely short, even for the era. Luke estimated
him to be no more than four foot nine or ten. Finally, the guy had some kind of
speech problem which for normal people wasn’t a problem, but for people who
thought of themselves masters of the world, this was a major problem.
“So, I hear that you want a job as one of my soldiers?”
“Yes sir, that is correct.” Stated Luke with his slight Scottish accent. He
could have laid it on thicker but figured that keeping things light would help
convince Richard that Luke was really a very experienced soldier.
“Why?”
“Why not. I need a job and I heard that you sir are hiring.”
“Well, let us see what you can do.”
“David, Matt, John. Test this man’s metal.” Richard set back to enjoy the
entertainment. He was going to enjoy watching his best man whittle this giant
down to size. The three of them approached Luke spaced out evenly around him.
Luke waited until the last possible second, then stuck. Using the same method
that he had used on William; Luke sidestepped David’s strike, grabbed his right
wrist with one hand and broke is elbow with his other. Luke then moved and
snapped David’s neck. This pissed the other two men off for all three were very
close. With new fury they moved on Luke who was still calm as ever. This time
he drew his swords. These were hand and a half swords, but in Luke’s hands they
became single handed swords. With longer swords and much more strength, Luke
quickly forced the other two knights back.
Finally, Matt managed to get past Luke’s swords and deliver a blow to Luke.
This blow was normally a fatal blow, but Luke just shrugged it off. Before Matt
could get out of the way, Luke hit him between his eyes with the pommel of one
of his swords. Matt’s skull shattered with the blow causing everyone around to
cringe. Now it was one to one and John was not only in a rage, but was also
fearful. He had seen both his best friends killed before his eyes and this
giant had received a usually fatal blow from Matt. Yet it barely seemed to
affect him. Luke now went on an all-out attack on John. It was all John could do
to keep Luke’s blades off of him. If John didn’t do something fast, he would be
killed too. Finally, John had an opening and he took it. Problem was that Luke
had purposely let his have that opening and taking it proved to be a fatal
mistake for John.
As John delivered what he hoped would be at least a debilitating blow on
Luke, Luke trapped John’s sword and pulled John to him. Close in, Luke dropped
his swords, picked up John, turned him over, and drove him head first into the
floor. This completely crushed John’s head. It was so bad that you couldn’t
even tell that it had been a head. Luke the casually picked his swords up and
sheathed them. He then started to return to in front of Richard who was sitting
in his chair with is mouth open. He had never seen someone win a three to one
fight so fast.
As Luke got back to where he had started, he heard the unmistakable sound of
a bow being drawn. As quick as lighting, Luke drew a throwing knife and let it
fly. It stuck the bowman in the throat, killing him instantly. Luke walked
over, kicked his knife loose of the man’s neck, wiped it off on the man’s
uniform, and returned the knife to its place. By now the look of fear was in
every face of the room, including Richard’s. It was obvious to all that this
man was not one to be messed around with.
Upon returning Luke asked:
“Well, happy now?”
“Yes, you are a remarkable soldier, how did you survive Matt’s strike;
sorcery?”
Luke snorted at this. “Sorcery please? Do not insult me in such a way ever
again. I survived because I designed my own armor which is hidden in my
clothes. Only complete losers blame their loss on sorcery. Real men take
responsibility for their victories as well as their defeats.”
“So, they do, friend. So, they do. Now to business, what would you be
charging for your services?”
“Eighty pounds sterling a year.” He had talked with Marion and she had told
him that while this was a bit expensive Richard would gladly pay it to have a
soldier of Luke’s caliber.
“Sixty pounds a year plus I will provide you with girls to use whenever you
please.”
“Seventy, plus some girls of my choosing.”
“You drive a hard bargain, Hildyard. I accept and my I say that name suits
you very well.”
“Thank you my lord.” Luke had picked this alias for that very reason. It
meant one who is like a wolf in battle.
“Take my new knight to pick his girls.” Richard said to a servant. The
servant wouldn’t even dare look at Richard for Richard would kill anyone who he
thought gave him a disrespectful look. Luke followed the servant into another
set of rooms. There were many good-looking females there, some being quite
young and some being decent looking Milfs.
“Thank you, my good man. What is your name?” asked Luke looking at the
servant.
“Michael, sir”
Kneeling down in front of the servant Luke said quietly to him:
“Never call me sir again, you hear me. My name is Hildyard. Got it?”
“Yes sir, Hildyard” said Michael with a slight grin.
“Good.” Luke had a warm smile on his face “When you tell your friends about
me as I am sure that you will, make sure that you pass the word on to them.”
“Yes Hildyard.”
With that, the servant scampered away almost causing Luke to laugh. Turning
back to the women, Luke had to work to hide just how disgusted he really felt.
These women were being forced into sex slaves because their family couldn’t pay
the sky-high taxes that Richard insisted on levying on them. Luke quietly
looked at each one. Finally, he thought that he might have a way that he could
do this. Going to one of the servants by the door:
“This is going to be a hard choice for me to make. Can you show me to my
chamber and then have the women report to it one at a time please?”
“Yes sir. This way sir.” the servant snapped. Luke sighed to himself, this
servant hadn’t heard his bit to Michael. ‘Oh well’ thought Luke.
Once Luke had been shown his chamber, the women were sent in one at a time
like he had requested. Luke had to be very careful here for one false move on
his part and Richard would figure out that Luke was lying through his teeth and
then it was only a matter of time. As Luke carefully questioned each of the
women, he had to work at sounding like an arrogant mercenary soldier when in
fact all he wanted to do was to get the woman out of there and back to their
homes.
Luke finally picked some young ladies who were all a bit younger than Marion
and an older one that had worked in the castle while Marion had lived there.
The reason that Luke had picked the younger woman was to help protect them for
they were brand new to the harem and were still virgins. He had absolutely no
intention of forcing himself on any of them. Of course, this first night he
would be able to use being very tired as an excuse but the following nights
could be difficult.
Finally, it was time for bed. Luke had managed to procure a separate room
for “his” woman so that no one else would have a chance to force themselves on
them. Luke took the oldest one into his room for the night. Of course, he had
already checked out the room twice and had found no hidden listening holes.
Still, he had to be careful. The older lady was named Stella and Luke put her
age about thirty or so.
“So, Stella what can you tell me about yourself. I find sex to be more
enjoyable when I know something about the bitch.”
“Well, I am twenty-nine years old, I think. Married once but he died from an
accident. I had one child with him but she died before she made it to one year
old. I have been working in this castle all my life and I know exactly how to
please men.”
“What can you tell me about the previous owners? I have heard whispers about
them but none of it makes any sense.”
“Why do you want to know about the previous owners?”
“Because I am curious, so humor me please.”
“The owner was named Charles. He was a good man who lost his wife so after
his youngest daughter, Marion, was born. After this he never remarried but used
the ladies of the castle to keep him company. It was actually very good for us
because he was kind and gentle with us.”
“You mentioned a daughter?”
“He actually had two, Cecilia and Marion. Cecilia was a two-faced wild
child, but Marion was kind, loving, and very intelligent.”
“Was?”
“Yes, word has it that they were killed on their way back from London which
is just as well. For if they had gotten back here, Richard would have had
Charles tortured and imprisoned and his daughters would have become Richard’s
concubines.”
“I see. I can see where death would be preferable. Come here Stella.”
Stella came up to Luke, expecting to be ravaged, but to her surprise Luke
invited her to lay with him while she still had her clothes on.
“Master what is wrong? Do I not please your eyes?”
“Never call me master. My name is Hildyard and that is what I expected to be
called. Understand?”
“Yes” squeaked Stella.
“Good. Now for tonight I just want a beautiful, caring woman to curl up
with; for after my travels and the excitement of this afternoon I am too tired
for any fun right now.”
With that Stella curled up in Luke’s arms and quickly found herself feeling
safer than she had felt in years. This man was very kind and considerate; a bit
weird for a man but Stella could live with that. He was much better than
Richard was that was for sure.
When she woke up the next morning, Luke was gone. His spot was still warm
though so he wasn’t far away. Indeed, as she put her feet on the floor, Luke
came through the door holding two bowls of stew. He gave Stella her pick of the
two and he took the other one. He also gave her a piece of bread and a few
veggies. Now Stella was just blown away by this man. He was far kinder than any
other man she had ever met. She was also glad that he had been able to get the
fresh virgins before Richard could get to them for Stella knew that Hildyard
would be gentle with them; while Richard purposely was extra rough with fresh
meat. After they finished eating Luke gave Stella her assignment for the day.
“I want you to care for my ladies. Get them cleaned up. A couple of them
smell so bad that it is hard to be in the same room with them. Also, if anyone
of the bastards so much as touches any of them I want to know about it. Got
it?”
“Yes, Hildyard”
“Good. Now I have to get going for I have a lot of things to get done
today.”
Chapter 13.
Luke wasn’t actually worried that anyone would mess with his ladies, he had
scared everyone shitless yesterday, but it was always better to be ready. Luke
first went to the training yard to work out with some of the other knights and
other soldiers, at least that’s what he told everyone. In reality he was
looking for weaknesses, learning about these knight’s fighting styles, and
learning just how many men Richard had here. Many of the knights seemed to be
second rate and the soldiers only went about their training half heartily. Luke
could guess why, but the last thing he wanted to do was ask them. The problem
with asking questions is that you tell the person that you’re asking that the
information you seek is in some way important to you so Luke spoke as little as
possible.
After a few hours of training, Luke had a little bit of free time, so he
wondered the town. Everywhere he went he could feel the people’s eyes following
him. He could feel the hatred in their looks. This, of course, put him on high
alert but thankfully no one attacked. He made sure to quietly pay extra for all
the food that he bought. Most of it he would take back for his ladies so that
they could start to regain their strength. He dropped the food off in his
quarters and went to find Richard for he had an important meeting scheduled.
Luke had a contract to sign with the devil.
To Luke’s surprise, the contract was in order and ready for signature. After
signing Luke got his first assignment. He was to go toward London and look for
Richard’s son William. William should have reported in by now and yet nothing had
been heard of him. While out Luke was to keep an eye out for the previous
owners. If Luke met them, he was to kill or capture them, whichever was most
convent at the time. Luke couldn’t believe his ears; this was going to play
right into his hands. As an added bonus, he could take his women with him and
he would have a small escort.
The escort part bothered Luke a bit but they were easy to get rid of. On the
other hand, though…Luke requested that he be able to choose his men. He figured
that three should be enough. Richard agreed but only allowed Luke two. Luke
made sure to pick two of the men that had shown the most hatred toward
Richard’s knights during the training session. Luke told them that they would
be setting out first thing in the morning so they had better get some rest.
Upon returning to his chamber for the evening, he was surprised that all his
ladies were in the room. When Luke entered, they all stopped talking and looked
at him. Luke had to admit that they definitely cleaned up nice. Then Stella
stepped forward:
“Hildyard, rumor has it that you are leaving in the morning?”
“That is correct. Are you speaking for the group, Stella?”
“Yes I am.”
“Well then get on with it or let them speak for themselves.”
“We thank you kindly for the extra food. That was the best that we have ate
since this Richard took over.”
“Well, no thanks are necessary.” Luke said to the group with a warm smile
that always seemed to melt hearts. “Now ladies listen up. I will be leaving
very early in the morning on a special mission. I have been given permission
for you to accompany me on my journey. We will also have a two-man escort. Now
I suggest that all of you get to bed now, for I want to be going through the
gate just as it is getting light. Now move and no arguments.”
Tonight, Luke took the youngest of the ladies to bed with him. Her name was
Gabriel and she reminded Luke a lot of Marion.
“Hildyard, I have no idea how to please...” That was as far as she got
before Luke cut her off with a gentle kiss.
“Do not worry about that for now. Just come sleep next to me for we have to
be up early in the morning.” Gabriel was starting to feel things that she had
never felt before and Hildyard was causing those feelings.
“But” Luke just gave her his special shut the fuck up look. It worked every
time he used it, and it did here as well. Gabriel curled up next to Luke and
like Stella the night before felt completely safe and quickly fell asleep.
As promised, Luke was up very early the next morning. He figured that it was
about three AM. He went around to all the ladies, gently woke them up, and
ordered them to get ready to leave. Then he made his way to the barracks; here
he wasn’t gentle at all. He expected his men to follow orders and sure enough,
neither of them was up yet. Luke woke them up with his boot on their asses.
“Get up you miscible excuses for soldiers! Get up now! When I tell you to be
ready to go at a certain time you had better be ready to go.” Luke’s voice
boomed through the barracks. He was being far meaner than usual on purpose. He
figured that these men would probably continue to be soldiers once he helped
Marion take over and Luke wanted to get a start on instilling disciple in the
men.
Luke had to wait almost an hour for the men to get squared away and ready to
go. Of course, he had already anticipated this; after all that’s why he woke
everyone up so early. Finally, everything was ready and the small group set
off. The two soldiers weren’t happy to put it mildly. They had been dragged out
of their billet before dawn, they were assigned to escort a monster and a group
of his concubines, and the worst part was that this Hildyard had the complete
support of that asshole Earl Richard. They were partisans for the previous
landowner and they were convinced that Richard had something to do with the
Charles’s disappearance.
“When that bastard is busy with his women, it will be the prefect chance to
get rid of him, and then we can rescue those women and get them back home.” One
of the escorts said quietly to the other as they were headed out of the castle.
The other nodded in agreement.
The trip out of the town gates went quickly for the sun was just starting to
lighten up the Eastern sky. Luke made sure that they headed out the right gate
so that Marion would see them. As the group was ready to head into the forest,
the escort was out in front of the group; they came across a man standing in
the road, wearing a long cape with the hood up.
“Get out of our way!” one of the escorts, Michael yelled. He was agitated
and this man had already pissed him off.
“I have just as much right to be on this road as you do.” Answered the man
calmly. This really pissed Michael off and he drew his sword. His companion,
Tom drew his too. Luke just calmly watched but didn’t draw his sword for he
figured who the man was.
“Why are you not drawing your weapon?” asked Stella
“Why bother? The odds are already two-to-one, plus I know who that is and I
have no desire to cross swords with her.”
“Wait. Her?!?!” exclaimed Stella.
“Just watch.”
Marion waited until both men committed to their attack before making her
move. She used her staff to knock both men off their mounts. Then she made sure
to grab both men’s mounts before they ran off. The last thing Marion wanted to
do was to chase done the horses. She tied the horses to a nearby branch. By the
time that Marion got the horses under control and tied up, the men were finally
getting to their feet and to say that they were pissed would have been an
extreme understatement. How had this peasant dismounted both of them? Marion
just waited for them to get up. The men both charged at the same time and this
time Marion actually had to fight back a bit.
She used a leg sweep to take Tom out and she side-stepped Michael. Before
Michael could turn around, Marion had him in a sleep hold and her knee was
planted firmly in his back. With Tom still suffering from the wind being
knocked out of him; it was just Marion and Michael so when she demanded that he
yield, he did. Marion then drew her sword and held it to Tom’s throat and
demanded that he yield as well. Tom had no choice so he did. Marion then turned
to Luke.
“Well big guy, how about you? Are you going to join the party?”
“I think not. I’ve done some dumb things in my time, but I’m not stupid.”
The ladies in his group looked at him, confused. Luke didn’t strike them as
cowardly but here he was refusing to give battle and what was those strange
words that he used.
“No, you’re not, Luke. You’re a lot of things but you’re not dumb.” Giggled
Marion
Now everyone in the group was confused. Who was this man? Why was Hildyard
afraid of him? Who is Luke?
“Now that I have everyone’s attention...” said Marion. She then dramatically
swept off her hood and there was a collective gasp from the group. This man
that Hildyard was afraid of was a woman. Stella then recognized who it really
was, leapt off her horse, ran to Marion, and fiercely embraced her. Stella
whispered in Marion’s ear, while embracing her:
“What are you doing here? Marion, get out of here. Now! Hildyard has orders
to arrest or kill you on sight. Get out of here, I will try and hold Hildyard
off so you can escape.”
“Stella, why would I want to escape?” Stella was alarmed for she cared
deeply about Marion.
Marion turned to Luke
“Seriously Luke, Hildyard”
Luke dropped his Scottish accent “What? I thought it was a nice touch.” With
that he got off his horse walked over to Marion, picked her up, kissed her, and
swung her around. Marion was laughing during this. Finally, they both turned to
the group, who were now confused, afraid, and several emotions that they didn’t
know what they were. Marion then spoke to the group.
“Everyone, I want to introduce to you Luke MacDougall, and yes he is my man.
He rescued Cecilia and I when Richard’s son attacked us. Luke killed William’s
men and killed William with his bare hands. Since then, he has been protecting
us on the journey home. Cecilia has returned to Lincoln with Lucy until the
crisis is over. By the way Luke, your gear is safely hidden away in camp”
Luke turned to the women that he had brought with him
“All of you are now safe. If you want you can return home.”
One of the ladies started crying:
“I cannot return home. Richard’s men destroyed it.”
Marion ran to comfort her while the others gave a similar story. While
Marion was taking care of the women, Luke walked over to the guards.
“Neither of you have anything to fear. I taught her” Luke pointed at Marion
“how to fight. That is why both of you got your asses beat, and no I have no
intention of supporting a bastard like Richard. I am completely loyal to
Marion.”
The relief on the men’s faces was as obvious as it was instant. Michael also
started to look a bit guilty for he remembered their plans and wasn’t sure what
to do or even what to think. Luke saved him from further worry.
“No need to worry Michael. I figured that you and Tom were planning on
killing me eventually. The reason I picked you two was the shear hatred, for
Richard and his men, that I had seen in your eyes during our training season
the other day.” Both of them were now red as beets and Luke had to laugh. “Part
of the training that I got, when I was in the military, was how to look for
traps and part of that is properly reading people. Now I am going to need your
help. I want to help Marion get rid of Richard permanently. Will you two help
me, help her.”
“That bastard killed my wife in front of me after he and his men raped her.
He took my daughters and made them his concubines, and he hung my sons from the
ceiling of my house. He then forced me to be one of his soldiers and if I
refused then my daughters would be killed very slowly. I only became one of
“his men” to hopefully find a way to save my daughters.” Said Tom
“What is your story, Michael?” asked Luke.
“My family was killed several years ago. I had to come to town for a few
days and when I returned home, I found out that they had all gotten sick and
died while I had been gone. I became a soldier so that I would hopefully never
have to return to that village again. Life was good while Charles was the lord
running things, but under that devil Richard no one is safe. I was actually
getting ready to leave and head to London.”
“Well men, will we help me and hopefully afterwards stay soldiers but this
time under Marion?”
Neither man looked at the other one. They went up to Marion, drew their
swords, kneeled in front of her, and held their swords up to her. Behind them,
Luke smiled. He was happy that once again his instincts had been correct.
Marion’s embarrassment was just an added bonus.
“Stand up, both of you. Luke did you tell them to do this?” Marion asked
with a bit of venom in her voice. She had caught him smiling. Luke just
shrugged at her.
Luke and Marion then spent the next hour learning everyone’s stories and
telling their story. Neither Luke nor Marion mentioned that Luke was from the
future. They were not ready to revile that secret, yet. Eventually, Luke and
Marion stood next to each other, Luke with his arm around Marion’s shoulder,
“So ladies will you help us as well?” asked Marion.
“But, we’re women...”
“And I’m not a woman?” asked Marion cutting them off.
“That’s…that’s not what we meant Lady Marion.” Said the women all at once.
Marion looked crossly at them and they all shrunk in fear. They were really
thrown for a loop when Marion then smiled warmly at them. “Not to worry for
once I was like you. I could not defend myself and then I met Luke. He taught
me how to fight and more importantly when to fight and when to retreat and I
bet that he will teach all of you too. One more thing, I am just Marion, not
Lady Marion” Marion then looked at Luke and he nodded.
Chapter 14.
Over the next month, Luke and Marion trained everyone in the group basic
self-defense tactics. The ladies were amazed at how their fortunes had changed.
They had started off as simple concubines only allowed to live if they were
able to please men and now, they knew how to protect themselves. Luke also
taught them how to be soldiers. The guys didn’t really agree with teaching the
women how to fight or be soldiers, but they certainly were not going to
complain. After all they now had a chance to square accounts with Richard. Part
of their training was to ambush groups of Richard’s soldiers as they raided the
countryside. At first the women had a hard time killing, but they quickly got
over it.
When they would look at Marion, they would always take heart. In battle,
Marion was proving to be not only extremely intelligent but also could be very
cold blooded and ferocious when she had to be. She had no problems with
executing prisoners that they took. Marion knew that they couldn’t give
prisoners a chance to escape and warn Richard. They also didn’t have the extra
manpower to guard them or food to feed them. In every battle, they would strip
the dead of gear. When they had extra gear, they would put it in hiding so that
they could come back and get it later.
The better the women became the more disgruntled Michael became. He didn’t
believe in women in combat or even having them as soldiers, but he did admit
that having them in close quarters did provide him with some unique
opportunities for he was a serial rapist and murderer. There was nothing that
he liked better then popping a virgin’s cherry, filling her up with cum, and
then forcing her to suck all the bloody cum off his cock before he strangled
them.
In this group he thought that he had found the pinnacle of virgins, Gabriel.
She was tall, had chestnut colored hair that was full and wavy. She had warm,
brown eyes, a firm pair of tits and with all the exercise that she had been
getting over the last moth; she was developing a very firm ass. He wasn’t
worried about the fact that she had taken to Luke and Marion’s training the
best for he was planning on surprising her, raping, and killing her before
anyone else knew what was going on. Afterwards, he would disappear and continue
his raping somewhere else.
Finally, it was the evening before the group was planning on returning to
York. Their raiding of Richard’s men had taken its toll on Richard’s forces.
They were afraid to leave the safety of the castle for even a short distance
because just leaving the gates was proving to be very dangerous. Marion had
made sure to leave some of the corpses where they could be seen from the castle
walls. She had done this at Luke’s urging while he explained to her the
modern-day concept of Psy Ops.
The more she thought about this, the more she liked it. If the enemy could
be mentally defeated before battle then you would suffer fewer causalities and
maybe you could even avoid a battle in the first place. Michael meanwhile had
been watching everyone in the group and he finally saw his perfect opportunity
to strike. The rest of the group had bedded down early so that they could get
up early and get ready. Gabriel had gone down to the stream so that she could
get a quick bath. She was unaware that she was being followed.
Just as she had got her clothes off, Michael stuck. He came up to her
quickly, put one of his powerful hand over her mouth and held his knife to her
throat with the other one. Normally this would have been more than enough, but
Gabriel now knew what to do. Before Michael could react, she drove her heal
into his knee. While she didn’t break it, he was now hurting and lost his grip
on Gabriel. As soon has her mouth was free, she screamed. Michael was too busy
trying to get control of his prey to care, after all they were a way away from
the camp and everyone else had turned in. Michael was able to land a punch
squarely in Gabriel’s face. This knocked her to the ground and the force of
hitting the ground stunned her. Michael untied his pants and slowly lowered
them.
He loved seeing the fear on his victim’s faces when they realized what was
about to happen to them. As Michael was getting on his knees so that he could
force his way into Gabriel’s virgin cunt, he felt something cold and sharp
touch the back of his neck. This caused him to freeze. Slowly he turned his
head and found himself looking into Marion’s expressionless face.
“Hey Luke, before we go to sleep, I have something to tell you.” Luke looked
down at Marion. She had assumed their usual post coitus spot. Her head lying on
his shoulder and one of her legs over his with her cream filled pussy leaking
on him.
“Oh ya what’s that.” Said Luke half asleep.
“I’m pretty sure that I’m pregnant. Won’t know for sure for a little while
but I missed my last period and I’ve not been feeling good in the mornings.”
Luke was now fully awake. During their time together he had never given a
thought to Marion getting pregnant. Mentally Luke cursed himself for being such
an idiot. Yes, he loved Marion, but Luke wasn’t sure why he had been
transported to this universe and Marion having a child could cause serious
problems if Luke ever got the opportunity to go home. This is why he never told
Marion all he knew about the future. He never even told her his real fears of
leaking the information that was locked away in his head. Marion misread the
look on Luke’s face.
“Don’t worry honey, it was bound to happen eventually and I’m so happy to be
carrying your child.”
Luke took a deep breath. He was going to have to finally tell Marion all of
his fears. As he was about to start, they both heard a scream and recognized it
as Gabriel. Marion grabbed her sword and raced off toward the scream as fast as
she could still naked. Luke stopped to put his pants and then he was following
in Marion’s wake with both of his swords.
When Luke caught up, he found Gabriel on the ground still stunned. Her
clothes had been put on a nearby branch so Luke assumed that she had been
getting a bath. Marion had her sword at someone’s neck but however it was, was
facing away from Luke. Then they turned their head and Luke could see that it
was Michael. Luke went over and helped Gabriel to her feet and gave her back
her dress. Meanwhile Marion was forcing Michael to return to camp without his
clothes. Gabriel had serious problems walking so Luke decided just to carry
her. He gently picked her up and cradling her in his arms, carried her back.
Marion forced Michael back to camp and made him get on his knees.
“You think making me get on my knees will change anything bitch then you are
dumber than I thought you were. I was well within my rights as a man to demand
that she service me.”
Marion leaned in and whispered in his ear “It’s not just me that you have to
worry about. And if you think that raping that poor girl makes you a man then I
have to wonder how humans have survived so long. With such sorry excuses for a
man as yourself, we should have all died off thousands of years ago. I’m
willing to bet that it was actually Adam that got humans kicked out of the
garden and when the men writing the bible realized the truth, they switched the
roles so that history wouldn’t find out the truth.”
By this time, Luke had returned with Gabriel and she was starting to
recover. Luke tried to hand her off to Stella to care for but Gabriel wasn’t
having it.
“I want to see what happens to him.” Her voice was one of iron and Luke knew
that arguing wouldn’t do him any good.
“Well come on then” was all he said.
Luke was actually impressed when he realized what Marion was doing. She was
organizing a trial by jury. Everyone knew what had happened but Marion wanted
to start establishing a precedent. She was obviously thinking long term and
Luke was impressed. Once everyone in the group had gathered; the trail started.
Gabriel told all what happened and what Michael said. Michael was given the
opportunity to defend himself but refused. He obviously didn’t realize Marion’s
growing power and strength. Finally, it was time for the group to vote on
Michael’s guilt or innocence. The entire group voted Michael guilty. Michael
was stunned when Tom voted with the women.
While Michael had been growing disgruntled, Tom had been changing as well.
He saw the women getting stronger and he found that he was being drown to them
and one in particular, Stella. They were close to the same age and had both had
a hard life. Stella, for her part, was well aware of Tom’s attraction to her and
while she hadn’t made a final decision on the matter yet, she was starting to
have naughty thoughts about Tom especially while Luke and Marion were
practicing their love making.
With the guilty verdict, Marion passed sentence on Michael. He would be castrated,
his balls would be forced down his throat, and then he would be executed. Luke
was stunned by her harshness. He had never seen Marion so cold as she was now
but he didn’t argue. After all, this was her time era not his, and after the
word got around of what she was capable of then hopefully there wouldn’t be as
much resistance for her. Marion ordered Michael tied to two trees. She then
stood in front of him as she slowly sharpened her knife. Finally, Marion
reached down and cut Michael’s balls off. As he was screaming, Marion put his
balls in his mouth and then covered his nose and clamped his mouth shut so that
he would have to swallow his balls. After he swallowed his balls,
Michael was crying. Luke and Tom cringed but didn’t look away; after all
nobody had forced Michael to attempt to rape Gabriel. Marion then drew her
knife across Michael’s throat, cutting the jugular and carotid. It took a
minute or so for Michael to bled out. During that time, Stella came up next to
Tom and held his hand. After all, Michael had started off being Tom’s best
friend. Marion then ordered that Michael’s body be left where it was. It was
getting late and they had to travel almost half a day tomorrow to get back to
York.
Chapter 15.
Marion grows as a leader but only after some serious pain.
It was early the next morning when Luke and Marion woke the group up. The
sun was just starting to light up the Eastern sky but everyone in the group was
used to getting up this early. They made sure to cook up an extra hardy breakfast
for they didn’t know when they would be able to eat again. Over the previous
month the scared young women that had traveled out of York with Luke had been
replaced with strong, young women that thought like soldiers and fought like
lions. They now all carried swords and knives and knew how to use them.
Every one of them also wore a leather overcoat that they could wrap around
themselves to protect against swords or even long-range arrows. Under that they
wore a green shirt and pants. Sown inside each shirt was light steel and
leather armor that Luke had designed to deflect blows. They each also carried a
helmet that was radically different than anything else currently in use. It
looked a cross between a World War two German helmet and a modern U S military
helmet. He had designed it this way to be able to give maximum protection with
the materials available. Gabriel also carried a bow that she had gotten to be
very good with. She was good enough to put an arrow into someone’s eye from
fifty paces.
Luke was extremely proud of the ladies and of Tom. Tom had helped train
everyone in sword use and had grown to love each of the ladies like sisters
except Stella. No, her he loved romantically. What’s more she was also falling
in love with him. Tom was armed like all the women and he loved this new gear.
It was lighter than his previous gear and protected him far better.
It was a warm morning when they set out and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.
They made quite a sight the seven of them, Marion, Luke, Tom, and the four
women that were “suppose” to be Luke’s whores. In that group there was from
oldest to youngest: Stella, Pollyanna, Alice, and Gabriel. Stella was the
leader of the group being the oldest amount them. Pollyanna was showing signs
of wanting to become an engineer like Luke. Alice was showing an interest in
medicine, while Gabriel was the sharpshooter and Luke thought that she might
make one hell of a sniper. One of the other things that Luke had started
teaching them was how to read and write for soldiers needed to know how to read
orders and make out reports.
It took the group almost half a day to reach York. During their trip they
had to hide once to avoid a large patrol that Richard had sent out. Yes, they
could have taken the patrol out but it was now far more important for the group
to get to York. When they got to the gates Luke had to talk fast to get
through. Once through, the group was deeply disturbed by what they found. The
town had gone further downhill. The people were now walking skeletons and the
streets were full of filth. The soldiers walking around took whatever they
pleased including having their way with anything they pleased. Marion actually
vomited at the horror that was before her. Still, they had a mission to
accomplish.
All the ladies were well aware that every soldier had their eyes on them.
Many of the soldiers whipped out their cocks and waved them at the women.
Marion actually snickered at some at the tiny cocks that were being waved at
her, for Luke’s was far bigger. At least she was still feeling good enough to
snicker. Finally, the group reached the castle. Luke told the guard who he was
and they let him in. They easily remembered him. Once in the group was in for
another surprise, especially Tom, for Richard was in the middle of an orgy and
Tom’s daughters were in it. Luke had to act fast to keep the group under
control for Tom was furious and Luke’s “whores” were about to gut Richard where
he was. Problem was that there were too many of Richard’s loyal men in the room
and they wouldn’t have made it out, even with their skills. They had to release
the men loyal to Marion first, that is if any of them were left.
First thing that Luke had to do was to make his report. Richard wasn’t happy
that he was being interrupted mid orgy but he did stop long enough to listen.
“I am sorry Milord, but we traveled all the way to London and did not find a
trace of William. We heard some rumors of him but we could not find him.”
“Well, you may go now, but I shall want to talk to you more later about this
matter.”
“Yes Milord.” Luke turned around and got the hell out of there and made his
way back to his chamber.
Once there, he found Tom puking his guts out, Stella was trying to comfort
him. The ladies were white as ghost, seeing the fate that so far, they had
avoided. Marion was the worst one, of the group, for not only was she puking
but she was crying her eyes out. She had known some of the women that she had
seen in the orgy. That is even if you could call the women people anymore. Luke
knew that they had to move fast for he figured that it wouldn’t be long before
Richard came for “his” women as well.
Within an hour Luke got a message that Richard wanted to see him immediately
so Luke put the rest of the group on alert and he left to meet with Richard.
“Ah Hildyard, Good to see you.”
“It is good to be seen, sir.”
“So, you found no sign of my son or his men?”
“No Milord and we traveled all the way to London. If they had been there, we
found no signs of them. We came back a different route and still found no signs
of them.”
“Now tell me about the whores that came in with you.”
“Well, traveling fast does tend to make any fat disappear and they travel
faster when they are healthy.”
“By my count, you left with four, but I could have sworn that I see you come
back with five.”
“The fifth one is my intended, sir. I also must report the loss of one of my
men. We were ambushed on the road. Tom and I had to fight hard to get out. By
the time we did, there was no sign of Michael. We think that the bandits took
him for we searched afterwards and found only some of his gear.”
“So you couldn’t find my son and you lost one of my men in the process;
Hildyard, if you disappoint me anymore then I will take back the whores and
might even have to take your intended. Do I make myself clear?”
“Yes, Milord.”
“Good, now get the fuck out of my sight.”
