Chapter 41.
Luke was up early, dressed, and out of the tent before the ladies even woke
up. His first stop was to check with the sentries and he learned that
everything had been quiet. His next stop was the hospital. If he was going to
be going on this campaign then he would be needing medical support. He was
surprised to find that Alice was still on duty. After talking things over with
her, she agreed to send two of her doctors and the needed supporting nurses and
staff with Luke. That taken care of he went back to Marion’s tent where he got
the fire going again and started breakfast. He had managed to score some eggs
from one of the locals yesterday so that was what he made for breakfast along
with some sausage.
He did admit that he missed his black pepper and garlic that he used to put
on his eggs. At least he did have some salt. As he was finishing up the
cooking; the ladies stumbled out of the tent barely dressed. Luke put the
lady’s breakfast on their plates and gave them both a glass of fresh milk while
he took water for himself.
After breakfast Marion and Gabriel went back in the tent to finish getting
dressed while Luke saw to it that his troops were getting ready to leave. It
only took Luke an hour to get everything ready to go. One of the things he did
was to make sure to say bye to his wife in private. They were only able to hug
and kiss a bit under the time constraint but it was enough. The next time they
would see each other it wouldn’t be as husband and wife but as commander and
subordinate.
Luke got the army assembled and before they left Marion inspected her
troops. The troops all moved in perfect unison, almost as if they were one
person. Lurking in the back of her mind was the thought that only a year ago
this kind of precision was unheard of in a modern military unit and nobody had
ever dreamed of weapons anywhere like these. Now she was in command of the
deadliest army in the world. After Luke left with his troops, Marion didn’t
allow herself time to feel sorry for herself for she had to get back to York.
All the cavalry patrols had returned and reported no other enemy troops in the
area. Marion left about midday with the remaining four hundred men of her army.
The main thing they were doing was escorting Alice’s medical unit and Marion
back to York. She made sure to detach units to villages along the route to help
secure Luke’s supply lines.
It took Marion four days to get back to York for the wounded really slowed
them down. In a way this was a blessing for Marion could take care of some
business that she needed to do anyway. She had Pollyanna finish up her
surveying work and to start working on laying out a new road. This road would
be one of the best that had been built in Britain since the Romans. The road
would go from York and eventually reach the lake district. Marion was busy with
other things as well. Her authority was still shaky in this area and the local
nobles were none too happy with a woman in charge.
One of the local castles, Marion had to take under siege. With the highly
advanced artillery at her disposal, this only took a couple of hours but still
it was annoying and the nobles which held out against her were stripped of all
their land and possessions. The land was then sold to the peasants that had
formally worked the land. Money from the land sales went right into Marion’s
coffers. Problem was that many of the peasants didn’t have the money so Marion
would make loans to them that was payable over a set number of years. The
noble’s possessions would be divided up among the army with everyone getting a
share. It goes without saying that after the first couple of nobles resisted
and were dealt with so swiftly that resistance died down.
Getting back to York, Marion paraded the troops right through the city for
everyone to see. Marion’s flags were uncased and the army marched to the sound
of Rule Britannia. The people went wild as their soldiers passed. At first,
they were nervous because most of the army wasn’t there but Marion let it be
known that most of the army was on their way to punish the nobles of the lake
district for their unprovoked attack on them.
After the parade and the party afterwards, it was time to get back to work.
Marion wanted the sanitation system of the city drastically improved for she
now had enough money to pay for it. That was Pollyanna’s first chore; draw up
designs for the sewer system. Pollyanna had to be careful through for her
pregnancy was much rougher on her then Marion’s had been. She was sick most
mornings and some days she had trouble just getting out of bed. Marion always
made sure to stop in and check on her every day. Matt however was doing a
really good job of caring for her so Marion wasn’t worried too much.
Alice warned that Pollyanna might have to have a C section when the time
came for Pollyanna had narrow hips. Marion put Pollyanna on restricted duty.
She only would work when she felt up to it. Fortunately, the sewer system
wasn’t too complicated so Pollyanna was able to get the plans drawn up good
enough so the workers could start work.
Getting back to York, Marion had other problems on her hands for rumors had
got out that her and Gabriel were lovers. The preachers that Marion had pissed
off by rocking the boat and openly protecting Jews were incensed and quickly
started stirring things up. It took a couple of weeks but soon every bible
thumper was at Marion’s door, demanding that she and Gabriel stand trial for
homosexuality and heresy. Gabriel was scared far worse than she had ever been
before for she didn’t want to see Marion hurt.
“Marion, I think we can sneak you out this evening. Once out of town you can
head up and join Luke!”
“Leave! Are you mad? If I leave then the forces that we have been fighting
will have won and Stella and Tom and Robin would have died in vain. No! I will
not leave! We are going to fight this and we are going to win! Now come with me
darling.”
Marion took Gabriel by the hand and lead her to a balcony that overlooked
the crowd. Marion made sure that her jewelry was on full display, especially
the ring which Luke had made for her. When they came out on the balcony; it
didn’t take long for the people to notice them. Marion was pleased to see that
her soldiers remained loyal to her. They all knew just how devoted she was to
Luke and none of them would very dream of doing anything to piss him off. They
figured that this was between Luke, Marion, Gabriel, and God and they were not
going to get into it. The crowd however had been whipped up by the
fundamentalist preachers and they were after blood.
Marion gripped the railing and looked out over the crowd. She could feel
that Gabriel was trying to stay out of sight, but Marion pulled her up to the
railing as well. Once there Marion put one of her hands over Gabriel’s and gave
it a little squeeze. What Gabriel didn’t know was that Marion had secretly sent
a message to Luke, ordering him to return with all speed for rumors were flying
about her and Gabriel and Marion knew that things were going to get ugly. She
also knew that Cecilia would use this against her for Cecilia had become even
more bitter as time passed.
The mood of the crowd was hostile as Gabriel and Marion stood there. Soon
Gabriel pulled out one of her guns and shot into the air to silence the crowd.
After the crowd quieted down some, Marion began to speak:
“Friends, citizens” She yelled “Why do concern yourself with what I do in my
bedroom? Why do you concern yourself with whom I choose love? Do you not have
enough to worry you without worrying yourselves about who I share My bed with?”
“You sinner, you homosexual bitch! You Jew lover!” cried one of the pastors
“You will bring the wrath of God down on our heads because of your wicked ways!
We demand that Gabriel be burnt at the stake for she has to be some kind of
witch. After all who else would create such devilish weapons.”
The crowd roared their approval and Gabriel turned white and started to
softly cry. Marion though stayed calm. One she didn’t care about this
hypocrite. Two was she had another secret. Marion smiled at a thought. She
turned to Gabriel and put one of her hands on Gabriel’s check and turned her
face so that they were eye to eye. Gabriel’s crying was almost enough to kill
Marion for she loved her so much. Marion made sure that her left hand was to
the crowd so that they could see her wedding ring shine in the afternoon light
as she pulled Gabriel’s lips to her own and kissed her passionately. This
really worked the crowd up and they began to beat on the castle doors for they
wanted these lesbians gone.
The crowd burst through the doors and within half an hour had drug Marion
and Gabriel out of the castle and had freed Cecilia and her still loyal men,
although there wasn’t many of these. Marion’s troops that she had in the castle
had been overwhelmed for they were drastically outnumbered. Alice’s medical
unit was put in chains and Pollyanna and Matt were arrested. Most of Marion’s
troops were in the countryside maintaining order. The pastors had two stakes
put up in the town square and brush piled around them. They were going to burn
these homos at the stake and hoped that God wouldn’t punish them for these
foolish woman’s sins. Cecilia was fully supporting them and was encouraging
them. As Cecilia herself was getting ready to lit Marion’s pile on fire;
Gabriel called out to Marion with tears streaming down her face:
“I love you, Marion and I always will!”
“Enough!” A new voice boomed. It seemed like the houses shook and the bells
in town toll with the word.
Chapter 42.
Luke’s army was moving swiftly through the countryside. Anyone who resisted
was quickly dealt with for Luke was in no mood to dick around with every petty
noble in his path. Villages were secured and bridges built so that Luke’s
supplies could keep coming. As the army moved, Luke had laid the foundations
for the road that Marion had wanted built. As Luke detached troops to guard
villages, he was also actively recruiting and he was recruiting more than he
was detaching. All the recruits were put through his training program for the
one thing he wasn’t about to do was to risk expanding his army at the cost of
quality. At first many of these new recruits rebelled against Luke’s disciple
but Luke’s sergeants quickly put an end to that. If they had to, they would
beat the disciple into the new recruits for these sergeants were true believers
of Luke’s training process. After all they had seen first-hand, the results.
On and on the army marched. They moved like the wind. When they would come
into an area for the first time everyone from the nobles to the serfs would be
nervous for armies were vicious and were barely more than undisciplined mobs.
Luke’s army was different in every way. They paid for their food and drink.
Towns that surrendered were not plundered and instead usually saw a massive
increase in business for everyone from the tavern keepers to the prostitutes to
the formally unemployed who were hired in mass to work on various projects.
The nobles were always pissed though for one of the things that always
happened was all serfs were freed. Luke’s army would not tolerate serfdom and
indeed many of them had previously been serfs. It seemed that every week
another noble would rebel and they would be dealt with swiftly and brutally.
They would be killed and their former land would be seized and sold to the
former serfs who wanted the chance to own their own land.
After a week and a half Luke got an urgent message from Marion. It seemed
that somehow word of her and Gabriel had got out and the pastors were stirring
the people up against her. She ordered Luke to return to York immediately and
with all speed. Now Luke had a serious problem for he was almost a solid week
march from York if he took the whole army. Therefore, he decided to take only
his most trusted cavalry unit with him. He left orders with is second in
command that she was to continue on her way toward the lake district.
Luke wasn’t worried about her because she was good and was getting to the
point at which being in full command would do her some good. He had explained
the situation to her and she understood for she also knew about Marion and
Gabriel. In fact, most of the army either knew about them or at least
suspected.
Luke was on his way back to York within an hour of getting the message. He
rode swiftly and didn’t stop until there was no light with which to see by. If
anyone had any complaints, they didn’t speak them for one Luke wouldn’t have
listened anyway and two he was sharing in their hardship. Three was that
everyone could see just how concerned he was.
The two hundred cavalry troopers that Luke had with him were the best in the
army and were making almost eighty kilometers a day and with the news coming
out of York, Luke somehow knew that they were still going to be late. Silently
he swore to himself that if Marion was murdered that he would level York and
kill all the inhabitants.
When Luke got the gates of York, he knew that it was going to be close for
most of the gates were unguarded and locked. Finally, he found one that was
still manned and they quickly let him in and explained to them all what was
going on. Looking at the faces of his troops, Luke could see the anger for Marion
had been extremely kind toward them and their families. Plus, they all knew
just how much their commander loved her and they were going to punish those who
threatened Marion. Luke ordered the gates locked for he didn’t want any of
these bastards to escape. Then he ordered the guards to join him. The guards
got on some of the horses with the smaller cavalry personal and they were off.
They raced down the city streets and soon enough were at the square where
Marion and Gabriel were tied to stakes. They were about to be burned. They all
heard Gabriel cry out to Marion and any thoughts of mercy for the people in the
square vanished.
Luke brought his horse to front and center before his troops and bellowed
out:
“Enough!” The sound of his voice stopped everyone in their tracks and
everyone turned toward him. His voice seemed to go on forever and the bells in
the churches of the town seemed to ring with the word. Cecilia had hardened
even further in the last year since Luke had rescued them from the ambush that
was supposed to kill Marion.
“There’s the bastard that led so many into sin! Kill Him for He is the devil
himself and the Lord will protect you!”
With this the crowd started toward Luke. He had other ideas in mind though.
He took his rifle, drew up and shot the torch right out of Cecilia’s hand. He
then drew his saber and his troops drew theirs.
“For Marion And Gabriel…Charge!”
With that, Luke’s cavalry charges into the oncoming mob. What followed was
carnage. Luke’s troopers hacked and slashed in every direction. To people who
were watching from the buildings it was almost like watching a piece of art in
motion. The gold and silver of the sabers reflecting in the evening sunlight;
the drops of blood looked like rubies flying in every direction. Luke was the
most ferocious of the lot. He charged forward, with no care but to get to and
save Marion. He slashed left and right; he even used his horse to trample men
and woman alike. Afterwards, his troops would swear that the Norse god of war,
Oden, was riding on Luke’s shoulders and helped clear the way. As soon as Luke
reached Marion, Cecilia took off with her loyal men.
Luke stopped just long enough to cut Marion loose before he took off after
Cecilia. He quickly cut down her men. He then jumped off his horse and landing
on Cecilia, drove her into the ground for he had better ideas on what to do
with her. As soon as Luke had cut Marion loose, she ran over and untied
Gabriel. They then collapsed and started crying for they had come within a
whisker of being burned at the stake and Luke had rescued them in the most
dramatic fashion imaginable. By the time they had stopped crying, it was all
over.
Around the square, hundreds lay dead or dying. Luke had captured Cecilia
alive and some of his other troopers had captured the priest who had been
stirring the people up. Marion ordered that they all be put in irons and thrown
into the dungeon; she would deal with them tomorrow. She ordered the release of
anyone who had been arrested by Cecilia. When she saw the way in which they had
handled Alice and Pollyanna, Marion almost went and strangled Cecilia herself
for both women had been beaten badly. Then Marion learned that some of her men
and woman that had been in the hospital had been killed in their beds and that
some of the nurses had been raped and the strangled. This was too much for even
Marion and she broke down in tears for she felt that this had been all her
fault.
As bad as Marion felt, Gabriel felt worse. After all, if she had just
refused Marion’s love then none of this would have happened. Gabriel then made
her mind up that she was going to commit suicide that night. As she was
leaving, she felt a large hand on her arm. She stopped and found herself
looking into Luke’s bright blue eyes. Whatever else she felt, she owed this man
everything.
“Take care of her Luke; she has earned it and she is going places.” Luke
seemed to know what was going through her mind just by the look in his eyes.
“Yes, she is. She will go far in life with you at her side.” Gabriel started
crying again.
“I can’t protect her through! You see what happened today? If it wasn’t for
me none of this would have happened”
“Now Gabriel, do tell me just how you know that? You have a crystal ball of
something that will allow you to see into an alternate dimension or something?”
When she didn’t answer Luke continued: “That’s right honey, you don’t know.
With everything that Marion has been doing, she is bound to stir up the
thickheaded idiots who don’t want to lose their power and they will do anything
to keep it. Additionally, if the blame for this could be put at anyone’s feet
it would be mine. After all I saved Marion from William’s ambush, I introduced
you to Marion, I encouraged you to be yourself, and I built the weapons that
allowed Marion to take power so fast.”
When he finished, Gabriel was silent. Everything Luke had said was true and
she knew it. She also knew that her lot would have been far worse under Richard
then with Marion. Gabriel lowered her head and she felt Luke’s hand on her chin
lifting it back up.
“Never bow your head again Gabriel!” growled Luke “Keep your head up. Be
proud of who you are. You are your own person and the choices that you make are
your own. Always remember that if there are people in this world that hate you
because of who you are; they are also people who love you and will gladly kill
or be killed to protect you.”
Gabriel lifted her head slowly. Fresh tears were streaming down her face;
only now they were tears of joy. Never again would she question herself; never
again would she question her own loyalty to Marion or Luke; never again she
swore that she would ever be tempted to take her own life again. She jumped up
into Luke’s arms and kissed him fiercely. By now Marion had walked over seeing
Gabriel crying and she was concerned. Then Marion watched as Gabriel jumped up
into Luke’s arms and she smiled; all was good. She went to stand next to Luke.
When Gabriel saw her, she let go of Luke and squealed Marion’s name as she
jumped up and wrapped her legs around Marion’s waist and knocked her to the
floor but neither of them cared. They were kissing even more fiercely than
Gabriel had kissed Luke while Luke looked down on them and smiled warmly. He
truly loved both Marion and Gabriel. He also decided that if Gabriel wanted to
have a child that Luke would be happy to act as her sperm donor.
After ensuring that her troops were indeed back in control, Marion headed
off for bed with Luke and Gabriel in tow. She was mentally and physically
exhausted and knew that Gabriel and Luke were as well. When they got back to
Marion’s rooms, the ladies started to disrobe but the look on Luke’s face
stopped them.
“You can finish stripping for bed in a minute, ladies, but first I have
something that I want to say to Gabriel. Gabriel, thank you so much for
protecting Marion when I’m not around for you have no idea just how much your
actions mean to me. I know that Marion told you that I am a one-woman man but
for you I will gladly make an exception. This is something that I should have
done a long time ago but I was blinded by my past life and habits. I know that
I have no right to ask but can you please accept my apologies for ignoring you
for so long.”
Gabriel smiled as she again jumped up into Luke’s arms. This time through she
wrapped her legs around Luke’s body and her tongue was wrestling for room in
his mouth. This time it was Marion who warmly smiled for she had been wanting
Luke to accept Gabriel as a lover for a long time but she knew better than to
push Luke. She also knew that nothing would happen tonight for everyone was
exhausted. She and Gabriel had just escaped being executed and Luke had been
riding hard since well before sunrise. Sure, enough Gabriel started showing
signs of exhaustion and Luke had been showing his for a while so as soon as all
three were naked; they climbing into bed with Gabriel this time occupying the
middle spot with Luke’s arms around her. No sooner they get the blanket over
them, then they fall asleep.
Chapter 43.
The next morning came way too early of any of the trio. They were still
snoring away when one of the guards knocked on the door.
“This had better be fucking important!” yelled out Marion who immediately
regrated yelling for her head was killing her. The guard was an old hand and
was used to Marion’s temper and knew that if something important came up then
her temper would go away.
“It is ma’am.” Called out the guard.
“Come in.” said Marion. She knew that the only way the guards would disturb
her was if something was important. Marion sat up as the guard came through the
door, giving him an excellent view of her tits. The guard was straining not to
show any emotion but when Gabriel sat up and stretched, the guard’s disciple
nearly broke down.
“Oh, hi. What’s up?” was Gabriel’s response to the guard as she got up. The
guard was almost whimpering as Gabriel’s powerful and tone ass came into view.
When she turned around and revealed her silken smooth pussy, the guard came in
his pants. By this time, Luke was stirring to. He saw Gabriel starting to dress
for the day and then he saw the guard’s face and had to bite his tongue to keep
from laughing for the guard looked like a young man seeing his first real naked
woman. When the guard looked at Luke, Luke thought that the poor guy was going
to have a heart attack so Luke just smiled warmly at the man. The guard began
to calm down a bit, but it obvious that all he wanted to do was to get out of
there and find somewhere private.
“Tell them that we will be right down.” Said Marion as she was climbing out
of bed, giving the poor guard another eye full. Luke was beginning to wonder if
the guy was going to even make it out of the room. Of course, he knew exactly
what the guard was going through, for he had felt much the same way the first
time he had seen Marion naked, of course though she was much more tone now then
she was before. As soon as the man was out the door, Luke couldn’t hold it
anymore and fell out of bed; he was laughing so hard. The woman thought that he
had gone nuts, Luke was laughing so hard. Eventually he was able to calm down.
“What’s so funny?” asked Gabriel with genuine curiosity.
“You didn’t notice the look on the guards face?” asked Luke
“No why?”
“Because that poor man just came in his pants when you stood up and when he
remembered that I was in the room, he almost dropped dead on the floor.”
“Oh. You sure?” asked Gabriel. Luke just gave the duh look.
“Right. I guess I have a way to go toward reading men, don’t I?”
“Not as much as you might think sweetheart but then again being a man myself
and having gone through all the emotions that guy just went through, I do have
a bit of an advantage. At least I didn’t have to go through them all at once
through like he just did.”
“Ya. Hey Marion, what was the message anyway?”
“Seems like one of the priests that was stirring up trouble yesterday wants
to confess something to me. Not sure what he’s thinking because he is going to
be executed.”
“Guess there’s only one way to find out.” Was Gabriel’s response.
“Yep”
With that the three of them got dressed and went down to the dungeons. The
prison guard snapped to attention when Marion came to the bottom of the steps
and opened the door for the trio. Luke stayed at the door with the guard while
stepping inside Marion called out:
“We’ll call you when we are done.”
“Yes ma’am” replied the guard.
Marion walked over to the priest’s cell and asked:
“Well, who wanted to talk to me?”
“I did” answered the main priest in yesterday’s riot. “You two actually
think that your sinful ways will go unpunished well think again. God will smite
you and you will rot in eternal hell!”
“Marion, I didn’t leave a wake-up call from the nuthouse!” whined Gabriel
“Don’t worry for I know that I didn’t and I doubt that Luke did either.”
“Why didn’t the bastard come down here? He too scared to face me?” asked
someone from the corner cell.
“Don’t worry about my husband Cecilia for he had more important things to do
then listen to the rantings of a bunch of lunatics. Oh, and don’t worry about
your execution either for I have something very special in mind for you.”
“You wouldn’t dare execute a man of God!” hissed one of the priests.
“Man of God?” questioned Gabriel “The only thing that I’m seeing is men of
Satan for a true man of God would show God’s love to all people and not just
the ones who kiss their fat lazy asses.”
With that Gabriel planted a kiss on Marion’s lips.
“Ready to go honey?”
“Yep” with that Marion and Gabriel walked up to the door and told the guard
that they were ready. Nobody opened the door for them.
“Guard?” called out Marion.
“See told you bitch. You will be the one rotting in Hell” called out the
priest as they opened their cell door and showed the ladies the knife in his
hands. The rest of the prisoners came out of their cells with an assortment of
knives and swords. Gabriel stepped in front of Marion and pulled her revolvers
and started shooting. She dropped ten of the bastards but more were coming at
them. Together, Marion and Gabriel drew their swords and were immediately glad
they had done so for within seconds Marion had killed two and received a flesh
wound while Gabriel had killed three more and had lost a finger.
The women were hemmed in for there was just too many bastards. Suddenly a
new sound filled the small room. It was a sharp report that Marion and Gabriel
recognized as Luke’s Sig. Twelve times he shot and twelve bastards fell. When
he had shot his pistol dry, Luke kicked the door open and flew into the room
with all the berserker lust of his Scottish forefathers. He had his sword drawn
before he was through the door and he waded into the prisoners slashing left
and right. To Marion and Gabriel watching, it seemed like an ancient war demon
had been awoken and had stepped into the room. Luke’s sword was larger and he
was more powerful than anyone else in the room and he was proving that.
Several times an opponent would get their sword up to block one of Luke’s
strikes only to find their sword shattered by one of Luke’s mightily swings.
Eventually Luke had killed the last of the escaped prisoners. Marion was
horrified for Luke was covered with blood but she was relieved when she learned
that none of it was his. She jumped into his arms and held on for dear life.
Once again Luke had stepped in and saved her life. Marion looked over and saw
Cecilia scowling in her cell. Marion then turned to Luke and get him a deep
kiss as she reached down and grabbed his cock.
Before Luke could even react, Marion had his pants down and was on her knees
sucking his cock to full attention. Luke might have been full of adrenaline
from the fight but very quickly all the blood was rushing from his big head to
his smaller one. The skill in which Marion was able to suck him was
unparalleled and he had more than a few lovers over his years. Within thirty
seconds his cock was as hard as his sword. In a flash Marion was on her feet
and she dropped her pants and leaned over to put her hands on one of the cell
doors. The cell belonged to Cecilia. Marion shook her ass at Luke as she looked
over her shoulder:
“Well big guy?” Luke came up behind her.
“One thing love.” As Marion stood up, Luke whipped her shirt off of her. Now
Cecilia was not only going to have to listen to Luke and Marion but now she was
going to have to watch Marion’s tits swing back and forth as Luke pounded her
from behind. Marion bent back over and Luke entered her in one thrust. This was
easy for him to do because Marion’s pussy was running like a flooded river. As
soon as Luke bottomed out, Marion was singing and with each thrust she got
louder. As Luke pounded her, Marion made sure that Cecilia was watching her.
An added bonus was that the few priest that had got back in their cell
before Luke had got to them could see Marion as well. Again, and again, Luke
shoved his cock into Marion as far as it would go. Neither of them was aware
that a crowd had formed at the door watching and placing bets on who was going
to cum first. The crowd was there because they heard Luke shooting while the
betting was Gabriel’s idea. She had bet the Marion would not only cum before
Luke but that she would cum twice. Others bet that Luke would cum first. If the
two came together then no money would change hands.
“Oh, ya Luke right there! Fucking give it to me!” yelled Marion “That’s
right Cecilia, you like watching your slutty little sister get her brains
fucked out don’t you. I bet you wish that Luke had his giant cock in your cunt
don’t you! Well too bad for this is as close as you’re going to get to it. Oh,
Fuck Me Harder Darling!” Marion looked over at the priest “Ya you like watching
a hot girl get screwed, don’t you? Don’t lie either for I can see your tiny
little hard-ons! God no wonder you became priest; no woman or even teen for
that matter could feel those tiny things in them!”
Marion then stood up straight but her feet couldn’t touch the ground for
Luke was too tall. Luke then leaned her back into his own body and grabbed her
tits with his hands and began to bounce her up and down. Marion began shouting
at the top of her lungs for Luke to fuck her cunt even harder so Luke began to
pull her down onto his cock. This pretty much sent his cock into Marion’s
cervix so hard that he pushed his way through and now both of them were
screaming. Soon they erupted together. The swelling of Luke’s cock had set
Marion off and her convulsing muscles had set Luke off.
Luke felt like all his life force was exiting the end of his cock and
flooding into Marion; while she felt like she had a torch inside her cunt so
hot and powerful was Luke’s cum. She also felt like she had a river flowing out
of her which wasn’t far off actually for both her and Luke’s cum was flowing
out of her. Suddenly Marion became aware of cheering behind her. She twisted
around and saw Gabriel and a number of her troops cheering and Marion began to
blush fiercely. As she was already twisted that way anyway, she gave Luke a
deep passionate kiss.
Marion got off of Luke’s cock, making sure to make a production out of it
for Cecilia. After Marion was back on the floor, she opened her legs to show
off her red swollen pussy lips that still had Luke’s cum flowing out of her.
Marion also made sure that the priest got an eye full as well. After Marion was
done teasing everyone, she picked her clothes up off the floor and made another
production of it by shaking her ass at everyone. Finally, Marion put her
clothes on and walked over to the crowd;
“So how did we do?”
The crowd looked at each other and all cheered. Marion then took the money
that Gabriel had bet on her and Luke’s sex show; smiling while she did so.
“Hey Luke question for you. What happened to the guard at the door?”
“Oh him? Ya… he tried to jump me when those bastards came out of their cells
so I had to dispose of him. You’ll find him around the corner with a broken
neck. Apparently, your bitchy sister promised him anything he wanted as long as
he unlocked the cells, provided them with arms, and lured you down here.”
“Ah, well after later today that won’t be a problem.” Marion left with Luke,
Gabriel, and most of the troops. She left a couple of loyal troops behind to
guard the prisoners for the rest of their miserable lives. They went to the
main hall where court was held. Marion spent the next couple of hours taking
care of different bits of business. Finally, it was time to take care of the
business that made her sick to think about it.
She called for the prisoners to be brought up. Everyone in the room watched
as the prisoners were brought in. After all the shit that had went on down in
the dungeon, there was only five prisoners left, four priest and Cecilia.
Marion didn’t waste any time betting around the bush.
“You five are guilty of disturbing the peace, rioting against the
authorities, murder, attempted murder, and attempting to rebel. For this I am
left with no choice but to order your execution”
In the room a little gasp went up. It was unheard of to execute a priest,
never mind four of them. What Marion said next really shocked them.
“The four of you priest will be hung by the neck until dead. Cecilia” Marion
said turning to her sister “I might have been able to overlook you trying to
murder me several time. I might have even been able to overlook you trying to
murder my husband Luke or my lover Gabriel, but what is inexcusable is you
forces woman and girls into the sex trade because the families couldn’t pay
your sky-high taxes or the beatings of Pollyanna and Alice. You setting up the
ambush that murdered father and attempted to have me raped and murdered,
because you are a greedy two-faced bitch who can only think of herself. Because
of that hanging is too good for you. I think the best way to execute you is to
kill you with my bare hands.”
Marion did give everyone a chance for last words. None of them had anything
to say so she ordered the priest to be taken out to the same square that they
were going to burn her and Gabriel in. There they were to be hung in front of
the whole town. Marion and her court followed the condemned out to the square.
At the square, a city Harold made the judgement against the priest and Cecilia
known to the whole city. Marion then had the gallows built and the rope for the
hanging obtained. All four of the priests were forced onto the platform where
the rope was put around their neck and the platform was pulled out from under
them. Marion had forced Cecilia to watch the whole thing.
“You know sis? Before you tried to have me killed during the riot, I was
just going to give you a decent amount of money and banish you to somewhere
else in Europe. Now you have left me no choice but to kill you.”
“You don’t have the nerve to kill me, you fucking slut!”
“We’ll see about that.”
After the priest were dead as declared by Dr. Alice, they were taken down
and their bodies were stripped and fed to the hogs. After the priest were taken
away, Marion forced Cecilia onto the platform. The Harold made the announcement
about Cecilia’s method of execution. When Marion said her bare hands, she meant
her bare hands. The rules were simple. If Cecilia won the she would be given
some money and could go anywhere she wanted, and if she lost then she wouldn’t
need to worry about it.
Chapter 44.
Marion settles into the life of a ruler.
Marion turned toward Cecilia and removed the jacket that she had been
wearing. She then took her knife out and threw it across the platform where it
stuck into a support beam. Marion knew that if people didn’t see the fight as
fair then she would lose any respect that she still had. She then pulled out a
scarf and tied it over her eyes. This completely surprised everyone including
Luke and Gabriel. She knew that Cecilia had a knife on her for she had seen it
before they even climbed up on the platform. A year ago, Marion would have
never noticed the knife but now she was much more observant. A combination of
being hunted for months on end plus Luke’s almost constant training had done
that. The city herald announced that the fight had started and wouldn’t end
until one of the sisters was dead. He then got the hell out of the way for he
was no fool. Everyone watched as Cecilia slowly circled Marion while Marion
stood perfectly still. She still knew exactly where Cecilia was at, for she
could hear the boards creak even over the crowd and could even feel them bow
under Cecilia’s shifting weight. Cecilia finally had enough of the dancing
around for people in the crowd were starting to question her bravery. She
pulled her knife from under her clothes and attacked as swiftly as she could.
Cecilia’s attack was devilish quick considering that she only had one good
leg. Marion waited until Cecilia was almost to her back before she reacted.
Marion sidestepped Cecilia’s attack. This caused Cecilia to lose her balance
and she stumbled forward. As she started going by Marion; Marion reached out
and caught Cecilia’s forehead and pulled back. Now Cecilia’s body was still
going forward but her head was being pulled back. This caused severe pain in
Cecilia’s neck and then she heard a loud pop. Suddenly to her surprise she felt
nothing at all. As Cecilia landed on platform, she knew that something was
wrong with her for she didn’t feel the impact. Marion kneeled down next to her
and whispered in her ear:
“Maybe next time you will think better before you mess with me. Of course,
with that broken neck there isn’t going to be a next time. Make sure to say
hello to Satan for me for that is your next destination.”
Marion then stood up, removed her scarf, and put her jacket back on. She
walked across and pulled her knife from the support and put it back in its
sheath. As Marion was walking back across, toward the stairs, she heard Cecilia
cursing her and calling her weak. At this moment, Marion’s temper got the
better of her. She pulled out her knife and kneeled on Cecilia’s back, gripped
Cecilia’s hair, and pulled hard. Marion then pushed her knife right through Cecilia’s
throat and pushed the blade away from her which in turn pushed the blade right
through all the muscles in Cecilia’s neck. It also cut the windpipe, the
carotid artery, and jugular vein. Marion then twisted on Cecilia’s head and
with just a little knife work separated Cecilia’s head from her shoulders and
all without getting any blood on her. Marion then held up Cecilia’s head and
displayed it to the crowd. The crowd cheered for although they didn’t think
much of Marion because she was interested in woman, they hated Cecilia with a
passion.
Luke and Gabriel walked up on the platform side by side. Gabriel walked up
and gave Marion a hug. Luke meanwhile picked Marion up and put her on his
shoulders. The people’s applause got warmer and more genuine for Luke was still
extremely popular despite his hacking a way through a crowd. He sat his wife
down and kneeled in front of her. Next to him Gabriel also kneeled down. Marion
smiled at this as she bent down and put her hands on either side of Luke’s
face. She pulled him up and planted a wet kiss right on his lips. She then
turned and repeated the process with Gabriel. This silenced the crowd for they
were not use to woman kissing each other in public. Luke came up and put an arm
around each of the woman and therefore announcing to the crowd that he accepted
the woman for who they were and that anyone who argued would have to deal with
him.
Cecilia’s body was pulled off the platform and fed to the hogs as well. Sand
was then spread across the platform to soak up the blood. Marion then began to
speak:
“As you all can see I am deeply in love with my head body guard Colonel
Gabriel. Now just because I love her doesn’t mean that I don’t also love my
husband General Luke MacDougall for I love him more than life itself and I
trust him with my life. I already have one child with him and I hope for more.
I hope that under my rule men and woman; noble and peasants; Christian, Jews,
and non-believers will be judged as equal by the law. I also hope that everyone
no matter to what position they are born to will have an equal opportunity to
succeed in life and will be able to live that life to its full potential.”
Luke then stepped up and put his arm back around her shoulder. He then
looked out over the crowd.
“In case any of you still think that I don’t love my wife you are badly
mistaken for I love her more than life itself. I am very happy that she and
Gabriel are able to fully express themselves. Actually, I was the one that
encouraged them to be themselves for nobody can control who they fall in love
with and what happens in people’s bedroom is nobody’s business other than their
own. If anyone doesn’t like that fact then they can leave town and not come
back.”
Luke turned and taking the woman with him, left the platform and returned to
the castle. The crowd in the meantime was dumbstruck but before long though the
crowd had dispersed for today’s entertainment was over. In the following days
and weeks; a number of people did leave town for they refused to be ruled over
by anyone who wasn’t completely straight, but for others the economy was too
good to pass up, still others moved to town because if Marion was that open
about herself then it made sense that she wouldn’t judge others. Once back in
the castle, the trio went to find Pollyanna. They knew that she wasn’t doing
good since her beating and they wanted to check in on her. When they arrived in
Pollyanna’s chamber; Matt was sleeping next to her and Alice was finishing her
examination. It didn’t take a genius to see that Matt had been crying. When
Alice finished her exam; Gabriel and Marion rushed to Pollyanna’s side while
Luke went over to see the doc.
“Well doctor; how bad is she?” Luke asked almost fearing the answer.
“She’s not very good. The bastards beat her badly and although they
apparently were trying to miss the baby, some of the strikes did hit.”
“Wait, they were trying to miss?”
“Yes, Matt was telling me that Cecilia had ordered Pollyanna beat but not
the baby for she wanted the kid born alive so that she could slowly kill it in
front of Pollyanna and Matt.”
“Fuck!! I knew that bitch was a monster but I would have never thought that
she would have gone that far.”
“Yep, that’s just how pissed she was with us.”
“Well, that bitch is where she belongs now so she won’t be able to harm
anyone ever again.”
“Oh good. I was feeling that Marion would change her mind at the last
minute.”
Luke snorted at this for he knew that Marion would kill Cecilia and if she
somehow lost then Luke would have killed Cecilia, himself.
Alice hadn’t been able to stay and watch Cecilia’s execution for she had
been called back to help with Pollyanna.
“Nope, Marion snapped that bitches’ neck. Marion was going to leave her to
die slowly on the platform but Cecilia started shouting insults toward Marion.
Marion took her knife and beheaded Cecilia.”
“Wow”
“So, doc back to Pollyanna.”
“We just have to wait and see Luke. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to an
ultrasound machine. God, I wish I did. I can tell you the baby is still alive
and that’s something based on how badly she was beaten.”
Luke could hear the ladies crying and he could feel tears running down his
face as well. Pollyanna was a very good friend and was just as good of an
engineer as he was. Considering her limited schooling, she was actually far
better than he had ever been and Luke knew that. He often wondered if that was
one of the reasons that he had always been so protective of her. Standing there
listening to the people that he loved crying; Luke felt a spike of anger such
that he had not felt in years. Suddenly he just had to beat on someone or
something. Fortunately, he knew just the place and it was only maybe a ten hour
hard ride away. He suddenly announced that he was going away for a few days and
nobody was to come look for him. Luke knew that his Achilles heel had always
been his temper and when he was younger and his temper flared, he would always
go make something out of steel.
Chapter 45.
Luke went and saddled his horse without saying another word to anyone. He
rode out of York with all speed and he rode hard through the night. During this
trip, he found that his temper was still rising. Everything was pissing him
off; even things that he usually liked were annoying him. After a hard ride he
arrived at his destination, just as the sun was rising.
When he arrived in the village that he and Marion had built the army in, he
was pleased to see that things that he had started were being followed. Nobody
dumped their chamber pots into the street and there were heavy fines for those
who did. The sewer system that Luke had helped design was being put in place
and the street behind was being paved with concrete. Along the sides, circles
were left unpaved so that trees could be planted there.
Luke spent some time just wondering around town. A few new buildings had
gone up since he had last been in town and they were built of brick and were
laid out along broad, straight streets. Luke stopped in front of one of the
nicer houses and stared at it for a bit. It had been his and Marion’s first
place together and their daughter still lived there under the care of a very
nice couple. Later Luke would pay them a visit for he missed his daughter
terribly. The next place he stopped at was the cemetery. It had been since
before the first battle that he had stopped to say hello to Stella. In his old
life he had always felt better after visiting his parents’ grave.
“Hey Stella, sorry that I haven’t visited in a while but as you can imagine
I have been extremely busy. Marion is now ruler of these lands. We had to fight
two battles against Cecilia’s army and we won both of them. We then had to
fight a battle against some of the nobles of the lake district and most of the
army is still up there. I would be up there right now, but while I was gone
some of those fucking fundamentalist preachers stirred up the people against
Marion because they found out about Marion and Gabriel. I know big surprise on
both fronts. It was obvious from day one that those two had something special.
Anyway, I was able to get back just in time to stop Cecilia from burning Marion
and Gabriel at the stake.
Marion and Gabriel were then almost killed in an attempted prison break.
Yesterday, Marion had the preachers that led the riots executed and fed to the
hogs. Marion killed Cecilia with her bare hands and then cut her head off.
Afterwards I learned that our dear friend Pollyanna is in very bad condition.
She, Matt, and Alice had been captured in the castle during the rioting and all
three were beaten. Pollyanna though, is pregnant and Alice doesn’t know if the
baby or Pollyanna will live. I came here because I’m just so angry. Every time
I have something good in my life it gets ripped away from me. Although I
haven’t lost Marion, there has been way too many close calls and I just know
that one of these times I won’t be able to get there in time. I guess what I
really am is terrified. Terrified that I will lose everything once again.”
Luke started to cry gently, his tears watering the ground at his feet when
he noticed something.
“How long have you been standing there, father?”
“Long enough young man. Long enough. And please call me Timothy for I know
that you’re not a religious man but still if you want to talk, I am here for
you.”
“I’ll pass thank you. The last thing I want is a sermon about all the things
that will happen to me when I die.”
“Have I ever tried preaching to You?”
“No father, you haven’t”
“And why you ask is that? Simple really. I have been a simple preacher here
for many years. I have seen many people come and go. I’ve seen many people like
you Luke. Men who are self-made and not afraid of anything on the outside, but
on the inside, you are a man that cares deeply for the people who you love and
you’re terrified what could happen to them.”
“Well, you are partly right father, but no offense you have never met anyone
like me.”
The pastor looked at Luke with a questioning look.
“Is there something you want to get off your chest?” seeing the look on
Luke’s face “As man to man not pastor and parishioner.”
Luke looked at him and took a deep breath.
“Yes, I do but the question is do I want to tell you. But then again, you
wouldn’t believe me anyway.” The pastor was now getting curious. “Come on Tim,
I think that we’re going to need a drink to get through my story.”
They went into the room that was attached to the church that served Tim as
his room and Tim poured them a couple of ales. After Luke took a drink, he
started his story. His story took him almost an hour to finish. By the time
Luke finished, Tim had filled his mug twice.
“That was some story Luke but I do not know if I can believe it. I mean no
offense.”
Luke smiled and slipped into his modern English instead of the old English
that they had been speaking. “No offense taken and I don’t blame you for not
believing me. Hell, I wouldn’t believe me either if I hadn’t lived it, but in
this case, I can prove it.”
With this Luke pulled out his wallet and handed his old driver license over
to Tim. When he saw it, he almost collapsed.
“Oh my, you were telling the truth.” Luke just nodded at him and put his
driver license back. “So that is why you are so afraid of well...”
“Yep. That’s why father. I’m terrified that if I fall into the wrong hands
then my knowledge could be used to kill millions of people. Not only that but
knowing humans as I do; I know that they will forget or ignore most of the
historical knowledge that I have. By my time we have made every mistake you can
think of and several of them numerous times. Some mistakes it seems like we
made every generation and yet we would never learn. I would love to make sure
that people in this era don’t make the same mistakes.”
“That’s not the only reason is it?”
“No. I have no clue how I ended up here. I mean there were theories on time
travel but they were just that theories and none of them offered any concrete
path to time travel. What happens if I go to bed one night and I wake up back
in my own time or somewhere else. What will happen to Marion or Mackenzie? I
mean I have lost count of how many times I have had to bail Marion out of
trouble.”
“Luke I really don’t know what to tell you. The usual comfort lines don’t
really seem to work in your case and since I know you; I know that the usual
crap will just piss you off. The only thing I can think of is to spread your
knowledge as far as you can and hope for the best.”
“That’s just it; I lost faith in humans a long time ago and now…well you
know.”
“Aye I do.”
“Well thank you for listening to a crazy man father, but I need to get
going.”
“Luke, trust me; you are not crazy and I honestly cannot think of anyone
else that I would want more in your place; for you have a very strong sense of
morality. The only thing I ask of you is that you don’t lose it.”
Luke was able to genuinely smile for the first time in days.
“Thank you and if you ever need anything you just let me know.”
The men gave a nod to each other and Luke was off.

Chapter 41.
Luke was up early, dressed, and out of the tent before the ladies even woke
up. His first stop was to check with the sentries and he learned that
everything had been quiet. His next stop was the hospital. If he was going to
be going on this campaign then he would be needing medical support. He was
surprised to find that Alice was still on duty. After talking things over with
her, she agreed to send two of her doctors and the needed supporting nurses and
staff with Luke. That taken care of he went back to Marion’s tent where he got
the fire going again and started breakfast. He had managed to score some eggs
from one of the locals yesterday so that was what he made for breakfast along
with some sausage.
He did admit that he missed his black pepper and garlic that he used to put
on his eggs. At least he did have some salt. As he was finishing up the
cooking; the ladies stumbled out of the tent barely dressed. Luke put the
lady’s breakfast on their plates and gave them both a glass of fresh milk while
he took water for himself.
After breakfast Marion and Gabriel went back in the tent to finish getting
dressed while Luke saw to it that his troops were getting ready to leave. It
only took Luke an hour to get everything ready to go. One of the things he did
was to make sure to say bye to his wife in private. They were only able to hug
and kiss a bit under the time constraint but it was enough. The next time they
would see each other it wouldn’t be as husband and wife but as commander and
subordinate.
Luke got the army assembled and before they left Marion inspected her
troops. The troops all moved in perfect unison, almost as if they were one
person. Lurking in the back of her mind was the thought that only a year ago
this kind of precision was unheard of in a modern military unit and nobody had
ever dreamed of weapons anywhere like these. Now she was in command of the
deadliest army in the world. After Luke left with his troops, Marion didn’t
allow herself time to feel sorry for herself for she had to get back to York.
All the cavalry patrols had returned and reported no other enemy troops in the
area. Marion left about midday with the remaining four hundred men of her army.
The main thing they were doing was escorting Alice’s medical unit and Marion
back to York. She made sure to detach units to villages along the route to help
secure Luke’s supply lines.
It took Marion four days to get back to York for the wounded really slowed
them down. In a way this was a blessing for Marion could take care of some
business that she needed to do anyway. She had Pollyanna finish up her
surveying work and to start working on laying out a new road. This road would
be one of the best that had been built in Britain since the Romans. The road
would go from York and eventually reach the lake district. Marion was busy with
other things as well. Her authority was still shaky in this area and the local
nobles were none too happy with a woman in charge.
One of the local castles, Marion had to take under siege. With the highly
advanced artillery at her disposal, this only took a couple of hours but still
it was annoying and the nobles which held out against her were stripped of all
their land and possessions. The land was then sold to the peasants that had
formally worked the land. Money from the land sales went right into Marion’s
coffers. Problem was that many of the peasants didn’t have the money so Marion
would make loans to them that was payable over a set number of years. The
noble’s possessions would be divided up among the army with everyone getting a
share. It goes without saying that after the first couple of nobles resisted
and were dealt with so swiftly that resistance died down.
Getting back to York, Marion paraded the troops right through the city for
everyone to see. Marion’s flags were uncased and the army marched to the sound
of Rule Britannia. The people went wild as their soldiers passed. At first,
they were nervous because most of the army wasn’t there but Marion let it be
known that most of the army was on their way to punish the nobles of the lake
district for their unprovoked attack on them.
After the parade and the party afterwards, it was time to get back to work.
Marion wanted the sanitation system of the city drastically improved for she
now had enough money to pay for it. That was Pollyanna’s first chore; draw up
designs for the sewer system. Pollyanna had to be careful through for her
pregnancy was much rougher on her then Marion’s had been. She was sick most
mornings and some days she had trouble just getting out of bed. Marion always
made sure to stop in and check on her every day. Matt however was doing a
really good job of caring for her so Marion wasn’t worried too much.
Alice warned that Pollyanna might have to have a C section when the time
came for Pollyanna had narrow hips. Marion put Pollyanna on restricted duty.
She only would work when she felt up to it. Fortunately, the sewer system
wasn’t too complicated so Pollyanna was able to get the plans drawn up good
enough so the workers could start work.
Getting back to York, Marion had other problems on her hands for rumors had
got out that her and Gabriel were lovers. The preachers that Marion had pissed
off by rocking the boat and openly protecting Jews were incensed and quickly
started stirring things up. It took a couple of weeks but soon every bible
thumper was at Marion’s door, demanding that she and Gabriel stand trial for
homosexuality and heresy. Gabriel was scared far worse than she had ever been
before for she didn’t want to see Marion hurt.
“Marion, I think we can sneak you out this evening. Once out of town you can
head up and join Luke!”
“Leave! Are you mad? If I leave then the forces that we have been fighting
will have won and Stella and Tom and Robin would have died in vain. No! I will
not leave! We are going to fight this and we are going to win! Now come with me
darling.”
Marion took Gabriel by the hand and lead her to a balcony that overlooked
the crowd. Marion made sure that her jewelry was on full display, especially
the ring which Luke had made for her. When they came out on the balcony; it
didn’t take long for the people to notice them. Marion was pleased to see that
her soldiers remained loyal to her. They all knew just how devoted she was to
Luke and none of them would very dream of doing anything to piss him off. They
figured that this was between Luke, Marion, Gabriel, and God and they were not
going to get into it. The crowd however had been whipped up by the
fundamentalist preachers and they were after blood.
Marion gripped the railing and looked out over the crowd. She could feel
that Gabriel was trying to stay out of sight, but Marion pulled her up to the
railing as well. Once there Marion put one of her hands over Gabriel’s and gave
it a little squeeze. What Gabriel didn’t know was that Marion had secretly sent
a message to Luke, ordering him to return with all speed for rumors were flying
about her and Gabriel and Marion knew that things were going to get ugly. She
also knew that Cecilia would use this against her for Cecilia had become even
more bitter as time passed.
The mood of the crowd was hostile as Gabriel and Marion stood there. Soon
Gabriel pulled out one of her guns and shot into the air to silence the crowd.
After the crowd quieted down some, Marion began to speak:
“Friends, citizens” She yelled “Why do concern yourself with what I do in my
bedroom? Why do you concern yourself with whom I choose love? Do you not have
enough to worry you without worrying yourselves about who I share My bed with?”
“You sinner, you homosexual bitch! You Jew lover!” cried one of the pastors
“You will bring the wrath of God down on our heads because of your wicked ways!
We demand that Gabriel be burnt at the stake for she has to be some kind of
witch. After all who else would create such devilish weapons.”
The crowd roared their approval and Gabriel turned white and started to
softly cry. Marion though stayed calm. One she didn’t care about this
hypocrite. Two was she had another secret. Marion smiled at a thought. She
turned to Gabriel and put one of her hands on Gabriel’s check and turned her
face so that they were eye to eye. Gabriel’s crying was almost enough to kill
Marion for she loved her so much. Marion made sure that her left hand was to
the crowd so that they could see her wedding ring shine in the afternoon light
as she pulled Gabriel’s lips to her own and kissed her passionately. This
really worked the crowd up and they began to beat on the castle doors for they
wanted these lesbians gone.
The crowd burst through the doors and within half an hour had drug Marion
and Gabriel out of the castle and had freed Cecilia and her still loyal men,
although there wasn’t many of these. Marion’s troops that she had in the castle
had been overwhelmed for they were drastically outnumbered. Alice’s medical
unit was put in chains and Pollyanna and Matt were arrested. Most of Marion’s
troops were in the countryside maintaining order. The pastors had two stakes
put up in the town square and brush piled around them. They were going to burn
these homos at the stake and hoped that God wouldn’t punish them for these
foolish woman’s sins. Cecilia was fully supporting them and was encouraging
them. As Cecilia herself was getting ready to lit Marion’s pile on fire;
Gabriel called out to Marion with tears streaming down her face:
“I love you, Marion and I always will!”
“Enough!” A new voice boomed. It seemed like the houses shook and the bells
in town toll with the word.
Chapter 42.
Luke’s army was moving swiftly through the countryside. Anyone who resisted
was quickly dealt with for Luke was in no mood to dick around with every petty
noble in his path. Villages were secured and bridges built so that Luke’s
supplies could keep coming. As the army moved, Luke had laid the foundations
for the road that Marion had wanted built. As Luke detached troops to guard
villages, he was also actively recruiting and he was recruiting more than he
was detaching. All the recruits were put through his training program for the
one thing he wasn’t about to do was to risk expanding his army at the cost of
quality. At first many of these new recruits rebelled against Luke’s disciple
but Luke’s sergeants quickly put an end to that. If they had to, they would
beat the disciple into the new recruits for these sergeants were true believers
of Luke’s training process. After all they had seen first-hand, the results.
On and on the army marched. They moved like the wind. When they would come
into an area for the first time everyone from the nobles to the serfs would be
nervous for armies were vicious and were barely more than undisciplined mobs.
Luke’s army was different in every way. They paid for their food and drink.
Towns that surrendered were not plundered and instead usually saw a massive
increase in business for everyone from the tavern keepers to the prostitutes to
the formally unemployed who were hired in mass to work on various projects.
The nobles were always pissed though for one of the things that always
happened was all serfs were freed. Luke’s army would not tolerate serfdom and
indeed many of them had previously been serfs. It seemed that every week
another noble would rebel and they would be dealt with swiftly and brutally.
They would be killed and their former land would be seized and sold to the
former serfs who wanted the chance to own their own land.
After a week and a half Luke got an urgent message from Marion. It seemed
that somehow word of her and Gabriel had got out and the pastors were stirring
the people up against her. She ordered Luke to return to York immediately and
with all speed. Now Luke had a serious problem for he was almost a solid week
march from York if he took the whole army. Therefore, he decided to take only
his most trusted cavalry unit with him. He left orders with is second in
command that she was to continue on her way toward the lake district.
Luke wasn’t worried about her because she was good and was getting to the
point at which being in full command would do her some good. He had explained
the situation to her and she understood for she also knew about Marion and
Gabriel. In fact, most of the army either knew about them or at least
suspected.
Luke was on his way back to York within an hour of getting the message. He
rode swiftly and didn’t stop until there was no light with which to see by. If
anyone had any complaints, they didn’t speak them for one Luke wouldn’t have
listened anyway and two he was sharing in their hardship. Three was that
everyone could see just how concerned he was.
The two hundred cavalry troopers that Luke had with him were the best in the
army and were making almost eighty kilometers a day and with the news coming
out of York, Luke somehow knew that they were still going to be late. Silently
he swore to himself that if Marion was murdered that he would level York and
kill all the inhabitants.
When Luke got the gates of York, he knew that it was going to be close for
most of the gates were unguarded and locked. Finally, he found one that was
still manned and they quickly let him in and explained to them all what was
going on. Looking at the faces of his troops, Luke could see the anger for Marion
had been extremely kind toward them and their families. Plus, they all knew
just how much their commander loved her and they were going to punish those who
threatened Marion. Luke ordered the gates locked for he didn’t want any of
these bastards to escape. Then he ordered the guards to join him. The guards
got on some of the horses with the smaller cavalry personal and they were off.
They raced down the city streets and soon enough were at the square where
Marion and Gabriel were tied to stakes. They were about to be burned. They all
heard Gabriel cry out to Marion and any thoughts of mercy for the people in the
square vanished.
Luke brought his horse to front and center before his troops and bellowed
out:
“Enough!” The sound of his voice stopped everyone in their tracks and
everyone turned toward him. His voice seemed to go on forever and the bells in
the churches of the town seemed to ring with the word. Cecilia had hardened
even further in the last year since Luke had rescued them from the ambush that
was supposed to kill Marion.
“There’s the bastard that led so many into sin! Kill Him for He is the devil
himself and the Lord will protect you!”
With this the crowd started toward Luke. He had other ideas in mind though.
He took his rifle, drew up and shot the torch right out of Cecilia’s hand. He
then drew his saber and his troops drew theirs.
“For Marion And Gabriel…Charge!”
With that, Luke’s cavalry charges into the oncoming mob. What followed was
carnage. Luke’s troopers hacked and slashed in every direction. To people who
were watching from the buildings it was almost like watching a piece of art in
motion. The gold and silver of the sabers reflecting in the evening sunlight;
the drops of blood looked like rubies flying in every direction. Luke was the
most ferocious of the lot. He charged forward, with no care but to get to and
save Marion. He slashed left and right; he even used his horse to trample men
and woman alike. Afterwards, his troops would swear that the Norse god of war,
Oden, was riding on Luke’s shoulders and helped clear the way. As soon as Luke
reached Marion, Cecilia took off with her loyal men.
Luke stopped just long enough to cut Marion loose before he took off after
Cecilia. He quickly cut down her men. He then jumped off his horse and landing
on Cecilia, drove her into the ground for he had better ideas on what to do
with her. As soon as Luke had cut Marion loose, she ran over and untied
Gabriel. They then collapsed and started crying for they had come within a
whisker of being burned at the stake and Luke had rescued them in the most
dramatic fashion imaginable. By the time they had stopped crying, it was all
over.
Around the square, hundreds lay dead or dying. Luke had captured Cecilia
alive and some of his other troopers had captured the priest who had been
stirring the people up. Marion ordered that they all be put in irons and thrown
into the dungeon; she would deal with them tomorrow. She ordered the release of
anyone who had been arrested by Cecilia. When she saw the way in which they had
handled Alice and Pollyanna, Marion almost went and strangled Cecilia herself
for both women had been beaten badly. Then Marion learned that some of her men
and woman that had been in the hospital had been killed in their beds and that
some of the nurses had been raped and the strangled. This was too much for even
Marion and she broke down in tears for she felt that this had been all her
fault.
As bad as Marion felt, Gabriel felt worse. After all, if she had just
refused Marion’s love then none of this would have happened. Gabriel then made
her mind up that she was going to commit suicide that night. As she was
leaving, she felt a large hand on her arm. She stopped and found herself
looking into Luke’s bright blue eyes. Whatever else she felt, she owed this man
everything.
“Take care of her Luke; she has earned it and she is going places.” Luke
seemed to know what was going through her mind just by the look in his eyes.
“Yes, she is. She will go far in life with you at her side.” Gabriel started
crying again.
“I can’t protect her through! You see what happened today? If it wasn’t for
me none of this would have happened”
“Now Gabriel, do tell me just how you know that? You have a crystal ball of
something that will allow you to see into an alternate dimension or something?”
When she didn’t answer Luke continued: “That’s right honey, you don’t know.
With everything that Marion has been doing, she is bound to stir up the
thickheaded idiots who don’t want to lose their power and they will do anything
to keep it. Additionally, if the blame for this could be put at anyone’s feet
it would be mine. After all I saved Marion from William’s ambush, I introduced
you to Marion, I encouraged you to be yourself, and I built the weapons that
allowed Marion to take power so fast.”
When he finished, Gabriel was silent. Everything Luke had said was true and
she knew it. She also knew that her lot would have been far worse under Richard
then with Marion. Gabriel lowered her head and she felt Luke’s hand on her chin
lifting it back up.
“Never bow your head again Gabriel!” growled Luke “Keep your head up. Be
proud of who you are. You are your own person and the choices that you make are
your own. Always remember that if there are people in this world that hate you
because of who you are; they are also people who love you and will gladly kill
or be killed to protect you.”
Gabriel lifted her head slowly. Fresh tears were streaming down her face;
only now they were tears of joy. Never again would she question herself; never
again would she question her own loyalty to Marion or Luke; never again she
swore that she would ever be tempted to take her own life again. She jumped up
into Luke’s arms and kissed him fiercely. By now Marion had walked over seeing
Gabriel crying and she was concerned. Then Marion watched as Gabriel jumped up
into Luke’s arms and she smiled; all was good. She went to stand next to Luke.
When Gabriel saw her, she let go of Luke and squealed Marion’s name as she
jumped up and wrapped her legs around Marion’s waist and knocked her to the
floor but neither of them cared. They were kissing even more fiercely than
Gabriel had kissed Luke while Luke looked down on them and smiled warmly. He
truly loved both Marion and Gabriel. He also decided that if Gabriel wanted to
have a child that Luke would be happy to act as her sperm donor.
After ensuring that her troops were indeed back in control, Marion headed
off for bed with Luke and Gabriel in tow. She was mentally and physically
exhausted and knew that Gabriel and Luke were as well. When they got back to
Marion’s rooms, the ladies started to disrobe but the look on Luke’s face
stopped them.
“You can finish stripping for bed in a minute, ladies, but first I have
something that I want to say to Gabriel. Gabriel, thank you so much for
protecting Marion when I’m not around for you have no idea just how much your
actions mean to me. I know that Marion told you that I am a one-woman man but
for you I will gladly make an exception. This is something that I should have
done a long time ago but I was blinded by my past life and habits. I know that
I have no right to ask but can you please accept my apologies for ignoring you
for so long.”
Gabriel smiled as she again jumped up into Luke’s arms. This time through she
wrapped her legs around Luke’s body and her tongue was wrestling for room in
his mouth. This time it was Marion who warmly smiled for she had been wanting
Luke to accept Gabriel as a lover for a long time but she knew better than to
push Luke. She also knew that nothing would happen tonight for everyone was
exhausted. She and Gabriel had just escaped being executed and Luke had been
riding hard since well before sunrise. Sure, enough Gabriel started showing
signs of exhaustion and Luke had been showing his for a while so as soon as all
three were naked; they climbing into bed with Gabriel this time occupying the
middle spot with Luke’s arms around her. No sooner they get the blanket over
them, then they fall asleep.
Chapter 43.
The next morning came way too early of any of the trio. They were still
snoring away when one of the guards knocked on the door.
“This had better be fucking important!” yelled out Marion who immediately
regrated yelling for her head was killing her. The guard was an old hand and
was used to Marion’s temper and knew that if something important came up then
her temper would go away.
“It is ma’am.” Called out the guard.
“Come in.” said Marion. She knew that the only way the guards would disturb
her was if something was important. Marion sat up as the guard came through the
door, giving him an excellent view of her tits. The guard was straining not to
show any emotion but when Gabriel sat up and stretched, the guard’s disciple
nearly broke down.
“Oh, hi. What’s up?” was Gabriel’s response to the guard as she got up. The
guard was almost whimpering as Gabriel’s powerful and tone ass came into view.
When she turned around and revealed her silken smooth pussy, the guard came in
his pants. By this time, Luke was stirring to. He saw Gabriel starting to dress
for the day and then he saw the guard’s face and had to bite his tongue to keep
from laughing for the guard looked like a young man seeing his first real naked
woman. When the guard looked at Luke, Luke thought that the poor guy was going
to have a heart attack so Luke just smiled warmly at the man. The guard began
to calm down a bit, but it obvious that all he wanted to do was to get out of
there and find somewhere private.
“Tell them that we will be right down.” Said Marion as she was climbing out
of bed, giving the poor guard another eye full. Luke was beginning to wonder if
the guy was going to even make it out of the room. Of course, he knew exactly
what the guard was going through, for he had felt much the same way the first
time he had seen Marion naked, of course though she was much more tone now then
she was before. As soon as the man was out the door, Luke couldn’t hold it
anymore and fell out of bed; he was laughing so hard. The woman thought that he
had gone nuts, Luke was laughing so hard. Eventually he was able to calm down.
“What’s so funny?” asked Gabriel with genuine curiosity.
“You didn’t notice the look on the guards face?” asked Luke
“No why?”
“Because that poor man just came in his pants when you stood up and when he
remembered that I was in the room, he almost dropped dead on the floor.”
“Oh. You sure?” asked Gabriel. Luke just gave the duh look.
“Right. I guess I have a way to go toward reading men, don’t I?”
“Not as much as you might think sweetheart but then again being a man myself
and having gone through all the emotions that guy just went through, I do have
a bit of an advantage. At least I didn’t have to go through them all at once
through like he just did.”
“Ya. Hey Marion, what was the message anyway?”
“Seems like one of the priests that was stirring up trouble yesterday wants
to confess something to me. Not sure what he’s thinking because he is going to
be executed.”
“Guess there’s only one way to find out.” Was Gabriel’s response.
“Yep”
With that the three of them got dressed and went down to the dungeons. The
prison guard snapped to attention when Marion came to the bottom of the steps
and opened the door for the trio. Luke stayed at the door with the guard while
stepping inside Marion called out:
“We’ll call you when we are done.”
“Yes ma’am” replied the guard.
Marion walked over to the priest’s cell and asked:
“Well, who wanted to talk to me?”
“I did” answered the main priest in yesterday’s riot. “You two actually
think that your sinful ways will go unpunished well think again. God will smite
you and you will rot in eternal hell!”
“Marion, I didn’t leave a wake-up call from the nuthouse!” whined Gabriel
“Don’t worry for I know that I didn’t and I doubt that Luke did either.”
“Why didn’t the bastard come down here? He too scared to face me?” asked
someone from the corner cell.
“Don’t worry about my husband Cecilia for he had more important things to do
then listen to the rantings of a bunch of lunatics. Oh, and don’t worry about
your execution either for I have something very special in mind for you.”
“You wouldn’t dare execute a man of God!” hissed one of the priests.
“Man of God?” questioned Gabriel “The only thing that I’m seeing is men of
Satan for a true man of God would show God’s love to all people and not just
the ones who kiss their fat lazy asses.”
With that Gabriel planted a kiss on Marion’s lips.
“Ready to go honey?”
“Yep” with that Marion and Gabriel walked up to the door and told the guard
that they were ready. Nobody opened the door for them.
“Guard?” called out Marion.
“See told you bitch. You will be the one rotting in Hell” called out the
priest as they opened their cell door and showed the ladies the knife in his
hands. The rest of the prisoners came out of their cells with an assortment of
knives and swords. Gabriel stepped in front of Marion and pulled her revolvers
and started shooting. She dropped ten of the bastards but more were coming at
them. Together, Marion and Gabriel drew their swords and were immediately glad
they had done so for within seconds Marion had killed two and received a flesh
wound while Gabriel had killed three more and had lost a finger.
The women were hemmed in for there was just too many bastards. Suddenly a
new sound filled the small room. It was a sharp report that Marion and Gabriel
recognized as Luke’s Sig. Twelve times he shot and twelve bastards fell. When
he had shot his pistol dry, Luke kicked the door open and flew into the room
with all the berserker lust of his Scottish forefathers. He had his sword drawn
before he was through the door and he waded into the prisoners slashing left
and right. To Marion and Gabriel watching, it seemed like an ancient war demon
had been awoken and had stepped into the room. Luke’s sword was larger and he
was more powerful than anyone else in the room and he was proving that.
Several times an opponent would get their sword up to block one of Luke’s
strikes only to find their sword shattered by one of Luke’s mightily swings.
Eventually Luke had killed the last of the escaped prisoners. Marion was
horrified for Luke was covered with blood but she was relieved when she learned
that none of it was his. She jumped into his arms and held on for dear life.
Once again Luke had stepped in and saved her life. Marion looked over and saw
Cecilia scowling in her cell. Marion then turned to Luke and get him a deep
kiss as she reached down and grabbed his cock.
Before Luke could even react, Marion had his pants down and was on her knees
sucking his cock to full attention. Luke might have been full of adrenaline
from the fight but very quickly all the blood was rushing from his big head to
his smaller one. The skill in which Marion was able to suck him was
unparalleled and he had more than a few lovers over his years. Within thirty
seconds his cock was as hard as his sword. In a flash Marion was on her feet
and she dropped her pants and leaned over to put her hands on one of the cell
doors. The cell belonged to Cecilia. Marion shook her ass at Luke as she looked
over her shoulder:
“Well big guy?” Luke came up behind her.
“One thing love.” As Marion stood up, Luke whipped her shirt off of her. Now
Cecilia was not only going to have to listen to Luke and Marion but now she was
going to have to watch Marion’s tits swing back and forth as Luke pounded her
from behind. Marion bent back over and Luke entered her in one thrust. This was
easy for him to do because Marion’s pussy was running like a flooded river. As
soon as Luke bottomed out, Marion was singing and with each thrust she got
louder. As Luke pounded her, Marion made sure that Cecilia was watching her.
An added bonus was that the few priest that had got back in their cell
before Luke had got to them could see Marion as well. Again, and again, Luke
shoved his cock into Marion as far as it would go. Neither of them was aware
that a crowd had formed at the door watching and placing bets on who was going
to cum first. The crowd was there because they heard Luke shooting while the
betting was Gabriel’s idea. She had bet the Marion would not only cum before
Luke but that she would cum twice. Others bet that Luke would cum first. If the
two came together then no money would change hands.
“Oh, ya Luke right there! Fucking give it to me!” yelled Marion “That’s
right Cecilia, you like watching your slutty little sister get her brains
fucked out don’t you. I bet you wish that Luke had his giant cock in your cunt
don’t you! Well too bad for this is as close as you’re going to get to it. Oh,
Fuck Me Harder Darling!” Marion looked over at the priest “Ya you like watching
a hot girl get screwed, don’t you? Don’t lie either for I can see your tiny
little hard-ons! God no wonder you became priest; no woman or even teen for
that matter could feel those tiny things in them!”
Marion then stood up straight but her feet couldn’t touch the ground for
Luke was too tall. Luke then leaned her back into his own body and grabbed her
tits with his hands and began to bounce her up and down. Marion began shouting
at the top of her lungs for Luke to fuck her cunt even harder so Luke began to
pull her down onto his cock. This pretty much sent his cock into Marion’s
cervix so hard that he pushed his way through and now both of them were
screaming. Soon they erupted together. The swelling of Luke’s cock had set
Marion off and her convulsing muscles had set Luke off.
Luke felt like all his life force was exiting the end of his cock and
flooding into Marion; while she felt like she had a torch inside her cunt so
hot and powerful was Luke’s cum. She also felt like she had a river flowing out
of her which wasn’t far off actually for both her and Luke’s cum was flowing
out of her. Suddenly Marion became aware of cheering behind her. She twisted
around and saw Gabriel and a number of her troops cheering and Marion began to
blush fiercely. As she was already twisted that way anyway, she gave Luke a
deep passionate kiss.
Marion got off of Luke’s cock, making sure to make a production out of it
for Cecilia. After Marion was back on the floor, she opened her legs to show
off her red swollen pussy lips that still had Luke’s cum flowing out of her.
Marion also made sure that the priest got an eye full as well. After Marion was
done teasing everyone, she picked her clothes up off the floor and made another
production of it by shaking her ass at everyone. Finally, Marion put her
clothes on and walked over to the crowd;
“So how did we do?”
The crowd looked at each other and all cheered. Marion then took the money
that Gabriel had bet on her and Luke’s sex show; smiling while she did so.
“Hey Luke question for you. What happened to the guard at the door?”
“Oh him? Ya… he tried to jump me when those bastards came out of their cells
so I had to dispose of him. You’ll find him around the corner with a broken
neck. Apparently, your bitchy sister promised him anything he wanted as long as
he unlocked the cells, provided them with arms, and lured you down here.”
“Ah, well after later today that won’t be a problem.” Marion left with Luke,
Gabriel, and most of the troops. She left a couple of loyal troops behind to
guard the prisoners for the rest of their miserable lives. They went to the
main hall where court was held. Marion spent the next couple of hours taking
care of different bits of business. Finally, it was time to take care of the
business that made her sick to think about it.
She called for the prisoners to be brought up. Everyone in the room watched
as the prisoners were brought in. After all the shit that had went on down in
the dungeon, there was only five prisoners left, four priest and Cecilia.
Marion didn’t waste any time betting around the bush.
“You five are guilty of disturbing the peace, rioting against the
authorities, murder, attempted murder, and attempting to rebel. For this I am
left with no choice but to order your execution”
In the room a little gasp went up. It was unheard of to execute a priest,
never mind four of them. What Marion said next really shocked them.
“The four of you priest will be hung by the neck until dead. Cecilia” Marion
said turning to her sister “I might have been able to overlook you trying to
murder me several time. I might have even been able to overlook you trying to
murder my husband Luke or my lover Gabriel, but what is inexcusable is you
forces woman and girls into the sex trade because the families couldn’t pay
your sky-high taxes or the beatings of Pollyanna and Alice. You setting up the
ambush that murdered father and attempted to have me raped and murdered,
because you are a greedy two-faced bitch who can only think of herself. Because
of that hanging is too good for you. I think the best way to execute you is to
kill you with my bare hands.”
Marion did give everyone a chance for last words. None of them had anything
to say so she ordered the priest to be taken out to the same square that they
were going to burn her and Gabriel in. There they were to be hung in front of
the whole town. Marion and her court followed the condemned out to the square.
At the square, a city Harold made the judgement against the priest and Cecilia
known to the whole city. Marion then had the gallows built and the rope for the
hanging obtained. All four of the priests were forced onto the platform where
the rope was put around their neck and the platform was pulled out from under
them. Marion had forced Cecilia to watch the whole thing.
“You know sis? Before you tried to have me killed during the riot, I was
just going to give you a decent amount of money and banish you to somewhere
else in Europe. Now you have left me no choice but to kill you.”
“You don’t have the nerve to kill me, you fucking slut!”
“We’ll see about that.”
After the priest were dead as declared by Dr. Alice, they were taken down
and their bodies were stripped and fed to the hogs. After the priest were taken
away, Marion forced Cecilia onto the platform. The Harold made the announcement
about Cecilia’s method of execution. When Marion said her bare hands, she meant
her bare hands. The rules were simple. If Cecilia won the she would be given
some money and could go anywhere she wanted, and if she lost then she wouldn’t
need to worry about it.
Chapter 44.
Marion settles into the life of a ruler.
Marion turned toward Cecilia and removed the jacket that she had been
wearing. She then took her knife out and threw it across the platform where it
stuck into a support beam. Marion knew that if people didn’t see the fight as
fair then she would lose any respect that she still had. She then pulled out a
scarf and tied it over her eyes. This completely surprised everyone including
Luke and Gabriel. She knew that Cecilia had a knife on her for she had seen it
before they even climbed up on the platform. A year ago, Marion would have
never noticed the knife but now she was much more observant. A combination of
being hunted for months on end plus Luke’s almost constant training had done
that. The city herald announced that the fight had started and wouldn’t end
until one of the sisters was dead. He then got the hell out of the way for he
was no fool. Everyone watched as Cecilia slowly circled Marion while Marion
stood perfectly still. She still knew exactly where Cecilia was at, for she
could hear the boards creak even over the crowd and could even feel them bow
under Cecilia’s shifting weight. Cecilia finally had enough of the dancing
around for people in the crowd were starting to question her bravery. She
pulled her knife from under her clothes and attacked as swiftly as she could.
Cecilia’s attack was devilish quick considering that she only had one good
leg. Marion waited until Cecilia was almost to her back before she reacted.
Marion sidestepped Cecilia’s attack. This caused Cecilia to lose her balance
and she stumbled forward. As she started going by Marion; Marion reached out
and caught Cecilia’s forehead and pulled back. Now Cecilia’s body was still
going forward but her head was being pulled back. This caused severe pain in
Cecilia’s neck and then she heard a loud pop. Suddenly to her surprise she felt
nothing at all. As Cecilia landed on platform, she knew that something was
wrong with her for she didn’t feel the impact. Marion kneeled down next to her
and whispered in her ear:
“Maybe next time you will think better before you mess with me. Of course,
with that broken neck there isn’t going to be a next time. Make sure to say
hello to Satan for me for that is your next destination.”
Marion then stood up, removed her scarf, and put her jacket back on. She
walked across and pulled her knife from the support and put it back in its
sheath. As Marion was walking back across, toward the stairs, she heard Cecilia
cursing her and calling her weak. At this moment, Marion’s temper got the
better of her. She pulled out her knife and kneeled on Cecilia’s back, gripped
Cecilia’s hair, and pulled hard. Marion then pushed her knife right through Cecilia’s
throat and pushed the blade away from her which in turn pushed the blade right
through all the muscles in Cecilia’s neck. It also cut the windpipe, the
carotid artery, and jugular vein. Marion then twisted on Cecilia’s head and
with just a little knife work separated Cecilia’s head from her shoulders and
all without getting any blood on her. Marion then held up Cecilia’s head and
displayed it to the crowd. The crowd cheered for although they didn’t think
much of Marion because she was interested in woman, they hated Cecilia with a
passion.
Luke and Gabriel walked up on the platform side by side. Gabriel walked up
and gave Marion a hug. Luke meanwhile picked Marion up and put her on his
shoulders. The people’s applause got warmer and more genuine for Luke was still
extremely popular despite his hacking a way through a crowd. He sat his wife
down and kneeled in front of her. Next to him Gabriel also kneeled down. Marion
smiled at this as she bent down and put her hands on either side of Luke’s
face. She pulled him up and planted a wet kiss right on his lips. She then
turned and repeated the process with Gabriel. This silenced the crowd for they
were not use to woman kissing each other in public. Luke came up and put an arm
around each of the woman and therefore announcing to the crowd that he accepted
the woman for who they were and that anyone who argued would have to deal with
him.
Cecilia’s body was pulled off the platform and fed to the hogs as well. Sand
was then spread across the platform to soak up the blood. Marion then began to
speak:
“As you all can see I am deeply in love with my head body guard Colonel
Gabriel. Now just because I love her doesn’t mean that I don’t also love my
husband General Luke MacDougall for I love him more than life itself and I
trust him with my life. I already have one child with him and I hope for more.
I hope that under my rule men and woman; noble and peasants; Christian, Jews,
and non-believers will be judged as equal by the law. I also hope that everyone
no matter to what position they are born to will have an equal opportunity to
succeed in life and will be able to live that life to its full potential.”
Luke then stepped up and put his arm back around her shoulder. He then
looked out over the crowd.
“In case any of you still think that I don’t love my wife you are badly
mistaken for I love her more than life itself. I am very happy that she and
Gabriel are able to fully express themselves. Actually, I was the one that
encouraged them to be themselves for nobody can control who they fall in love
with and what happens in people’s bedroom is nobody’s business other than their
own. If anyone doesn’t like that fact then they can leave town and not come
back.”
Luke turned and taking the woman with him, left the platform and returned to
the castle. The crowd in the meantime was dumbstruck but before long though the
crowd had dispersed for today’s entertainment was over. In the following days
and weeks; a number of people did leave town for they refused to be ruled over
by anyone who wasn’t completely straight, but for others the economy was too
good to pass up, still others moved to town because if Marion was that open
about herself then it made sense that she wouldn’t judge others. Once back in
the castle, the trio went to find Pollyanna. They knew that she wasn’t doing
good since her beating and they wanted to check in on her. When they arrived in
Pollyanna’s chamber; Matt was sleeping next to her and Alice was finishing her
examination. It didn’t take a genius to see that Matt had been crying. When
Alice finished her exam; Gabriel and Marion rushed to Pollyanna’s side while
Luke went over to see the doc.
“Well doctor; how bad is she?” Luke asked almost fearing the answer.
“She’s not very good. The bastards beat her badly and although they
apparently were trying to miss the baby, some of the strikes did hit.”
“Wait, they were trying to miss?”
“Yes, Matt was telling me that Cecilia had ordered Pollyanna beat but not
the baby for she wanted the kid born alive so that she could slowly kill it in
front of Pollyanna and Matt.”
“Fuck!! I knew that bitch was a monster but I would have never thought that
she would have gone that far.”
“Yep, that’s just how pissed she was with us.”
“Well, that bitch is where she belongs now so she won’t be able to harm
anyone ever again.”
“Oh good. I was feeling that Marion would change her mind at the last
minute.”
Luke snorted at this for he knew that Marion would kill Cecilia and if she
somehow lost then Luke would have killed Cecilia, himself.
Alice hadn’t been able to stay and watch Cecilia’s execution for she had
been called back to help with Pollyanna.
“Nope, Marion snapped that bitches’ neck. Marion was going to leave her to
die slowly on the platform but Cecilia started shouting insults toward Marion.
Marion took her knife and beheaded Cecilia.”
“Wow”
“So, doc back to Pollyanna.”
“We just have to wait and see Luke. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to an
ultrasound machine. God, I wish I did. I can tell you the baby is still alive
and that’s something based on how badly she was beaten.”
Luke could hear the ladies crying and he could feel tears running down his
face as well. Pollyanna was a very good friend and was just as good of an
engineer as he was. Considering her limited schooling, she was actually far
better than he had ever been and Luke knew that. He often wondered if that was
one of the reasons that he had always been so protective of her. Standing there
listening to the people that he loved crying; Luke felt a spike of anger such
that he had not felt in years. Suddenly he just had to beat on someone or
something. Fortunately, he knew just the place and it was only maybe a ten hour
hard ride away. He suddenly announced that he was going away for a few days and
nobody was to come look for him. Luke knew that his Achilles heel had always
been his temper and when he was younger and his temper flared, he would always
go make something out of steel.
Chapter 45.
Luke went and saddled his horse without saying another word to anyone. He
rode out of York with all speed and he rode hard through the night. During this
trip, he found that his temper was still rising. Everything was pissing him
off; even things that he usually liked were annoying him. After a hard ride he
arrived at his destination, just as the sun was rising.
When he arrived in the village that he and Marion had built the army in, he
was pleased to see that things that he had started were being followed. Nobody
dumped their chamber pots into the street and there were heavy fines for those
who did. The sewer system that Luke had helped design was being put in place
and the street behind was being paved with concrete. Along the sides, circles
were left unpaved so that trees could be planted there.
Luke spent some time just wondering around town. A few new buildings had
gone up since he had last been in town and they were built of brick and were
laid out along broad, straight streets. Luke stopped in front of one of the
nicer houses and stared at it for a bit. It had been his and Marion’s first
place together and their daughter still lived there under the care of a very
nice couple. Later Luke would pay them a visit for he missed his daughter
terribly. The next place he stopped at was the cemetery. It had been since
before the first battle that he had stopped to say hello to Stella. In his old
life he had always felt better after visiting his parents’ grave.
“Hey Stella, sorry that I haven’t visited in a while but as you can imagine
I have been extremely busy. Marion is now ruler of these lands. We had to fight
two battles against Cecilia’s army and we won both of them. We then had to
fight a battle against some of the nobles of the lake district and most of the
army is still up there. I would be up there right now, but while I was gone
some of those fucking fundamentalist preachers stirred up the people against
Marion because they found out about Marion and Gabriel. I know big surprise on
both fronts. It was obvious from day one that those two had something special.
Anyway, I was able to get back just in time to stop Cecilia from burning Marion
and Gabriel at the stake.
Marion and Gabriel were then almost killed in an attempted prison break.
Yesterday, Marion had the preachers that led the riots executed and fed to the
hogs. Marion killed Cecilia with her bare hands and then cut her head off.
Afterwards I learned that our dear friend Pollyanna is in very bad condition.
She, Matt, and Alice had been captured in the castle during the rioting and all
three were beaten. Pollyanna though, is pregnant and Alice doesn’t know if the
baby or Pollyanna will live. I came here because I’m just so angry. Every time
I have something good in my life it gets ripped away from me. Although I
haven’t lost Marion, there has been way too many close calls and I just know
that one of these times I won’t be able to get there in time. I guess what I
really am is terrified. Terrified that I will lose everything once again.”
Luke started to cry gently, his tears watering the ground at his feet when
he noticed something.
“How long have you been standing there, father?”
“Long enough young man. Long enough. And please call me Timothy for I know
that you’re not a religious man but still if you want to talk, I am here for
you.”
“I’ll pass thank you. The last thing I want is a sermon about all the things
that will happen to me when I die.”
“Have I ever tried preaching to You?”
“No father, you haven’t”
“And why you ask is that? Simple really. I have been a simple preacher here
for many years. I have seen many people come and go. I’ve seen many people like
you Luke. Men who are self-made and not afraid of anything on the outside, but
on the inside, you are a man that cares deeply for the people who you love and
you’re terrified what could happen to them.”
“Well, you are partly right father, but no offense you have never met anyone
like me.”
The pastor looked at Luke with a questioning look.
“Is there something you want to get off your chest?” seeing the look on
Luke’s face “As man to man not pastor and parishioner.”
Luke looked at him and took a deep breath.
“Yes, I do but the question is do I want to tell you. But then again, you
wouldn’t believe me anyway.” The pastor was now getting curious. “Come on Tim,
I think that we’re going to need a drink to get through my story.”
They went into the room that was attached to the church that served Tim as
his room and Tim poured them a couple of ales. After Luke took a drink, he
started his story. His story took him almost an hour to finish. By the time
Luke finished, Tim had filled his mug twice.
“That was some story Luke but I do not know if I can believe it. I mean no
offense.”
Luke smiled and slipped into his modern English instead of the old English
that they had been speaking. “No offense taken and I don’t blame you for not
believing me. Hell, I wouldn’t believe me either if I hadn’t lived it, but in
this case, I can prove it.”
With this Luke pulled out his wallet and handed his old driver license over
to Tim. When he saw it, he almost collapsed.
“Oh my, you were telling the truth.” Luke just nodded at him and put his
driver license back. “So that is why you are so afraid of well...”
“Yep. That’s why father. I’m terrified that if I fall into the wrong hands
then my knowledge could be used to kill millions of people. Not only that but
knowing humans as I do; I know that they will forget or ignore most of the
historical knowledge that I have. By my time we have made every mistake you can
think of and several of them numerous times. Some mistakes it seems like we
made every generation and yet we would never learn. I would love to make sure
that people in this era don’t make the same mistakes.”
“That’s not the only reason is it?”
“No. I have no clue how I ended up here. I mean there were theories on time
travel but they were just that theories and none of them offered any concrete
path to time travel. What happens if I go to bed one night and I wake up back
in my own time or somewhere else. What will happen to Marion or Mackenzie? I
mean I have lost count of how many times I have had to bail Marion out of
trouble.”
“Luke I really don’t know what to tell you. The usual comfort lines don’t
really seem to work in your case and since I know you; I know that the usual
crap will just piss you off. The only thing I can think of is to spread your
knowledge as far as you can and hope for the best.”
“That’s just it; I lost faith in humans a long time ago and now…well you
know.”
“Aye I do.”
“Well thank you for listening to a crazy man father, but I need to get
going.”
“Luke, trust me; you are not crazy and I honestly cannot think of anyone
else that I would want more in your place; for you have a very strong sense of
morality. The only thing I ask of you is that you don’t lose it.”
Luke was able to genuinely smile for the first time in days.
“Thank you and if you ever need anything you just let me know.”
The men gave a nod to each other and Luke was off.
