No Escape. ( closed)

“You have a half hour and if you don’t I will punish you Miss O’Reily and you do know I can make you scream when I wish to.”

Jenna's eyes narrowed sharply and a low growl filled her throat. The man was fiend! Her fear was quickly being replaced by a full head of anger. Ja wouldn't let him truly harm her and he'd taught her to turn pain into pleasure, she would NOT fear this man in her own house.

"Captain DeSade, to make love a person had to understand love, you have no idea of the concept except as a word to be twisted to your dark sadistic desires. I don't believe anything I could do would bring you true pleasure and thus you would punish me anyway.

Just as I would for anyone I loved I will give you what I truly believe you want or need. Where would you have, let the punishment begin, but remember any permanent harm and my Master will most likely kill you."

 

[cgraven]

Just as I would for anyone I loved I will give you what I truly believe you want or need. Where would you have, let the punishment begin, but remember any permanent harm and my Master will most likely kill you."

DeSade so did love this proud firry little re haired beauty how with just a twist of a phrase she could be relied on to speak before she truly thought of the consequences of her words. He cared not wither she humbled herself by seducing him or weather she as the young girl had seal her own fate by her stubborn pride. The wicked smile on his face spread as he contemplated just how he would torment her. he had know doubt that her Master was observing them, but there was much he could do to torment the girl without marring her golden skin but would leaver her cringing in pain. DeSade’s eyes slowly took in the room and all the toys that could either leave the proud Miss O’Reily either withering in dark pleasure or screaming in pain. He finally decided that racking her would suite is proposes best.

“As you wish Miss O’Reily the rack.”

Of all the devices this would renter Jenna the most vulnerable for once strapped to it there was nothing she could do. He almost laughed as she gracefully rose and lay down on the rack stretching her hands towards the wrist restraints., her long sculptured legs and trim ankles by the ankle restraints. DeSade waited no time in binding Jenna in place drawing the restrains tight around her wrist and ankles till she grimaced in pain. Then he pushed the button that would draw her body tight on the rack he knew it would have a stop that would prevent her from being torn apart and he held down the button until the automatic stop engaged. Her nubile body was already covered with a fine sheen of sweat from the strain her young body was under. This was the worst that Jenna had ever been racked in her young life and her hands and feet where tingling with pins and needles.

DeSade now picked up a rattan cane and he trailed it over her body teasing her nipples , down across her taunt belly to torment her silken inner thighs with a sadistically soft caress. The rattan was normally applied to her firm ass but in this case that was impossible.

SMACK

The rattan cane kissed the soles of her feet and a pain that laced through the young beauty like nothing she had ever experienced and left hardly a mark. And so her torment at the Captain’s hands.

Jenna groaned as the rack pulled her body tight, she could feel the sweat that broke out over every inch of her skin and had to bite her lower lip to keep from crying out. There was no way to move, she was pulled so tight she couldn't even squirm and breathing was difficult. She wished she could keep the fear out of her eyes but knew she couldn't so she shut them to keep him from seeing it. She knew he would know why she'd done it but it also helped her to not have to see that knowledge in his eyes.

She was well aware this would be the longest hour of her life.

She could feel the cane as it traveled over her body, feel it taunting her, it's caress soft for the moment but she knew pleasure was not what DeSade had in mind. Not hers anyway. She heard it suddenly slicing the air and closed her eyes tighter trying not to imagine where it would land when suddenly pain, hot anf fierce, broke through her entire body. It was so savage she couldn't even pinpoint where it came from at first and all she could do was whimper with it. Finally she realized she could feel one thin strip burning along the sole of her foot and silently cursed whatever god had given DeSade such imagination.

Silently she prayed, prayed that Ja would burst through the door but knowing that the Captain had done nothing to warrant it. She hoped he'd realize she wasn't walking from this room.

 

[cgraven]

Ja Dur so the strike and he was moving before he could think before cold reason could seize him.. He burst trough the door as Jenna scream tore through the house and into the street beyond.. That scream was not human but one of a wounded animal in anguish When the Captain saw the cloaked figure his face twisted in anger.

“She is mine four an hour that was the bargain.”

“You violate it by marring my property”

Came the mechanical rash of the translator. DeSade drew a weapon he had under his uniform tunic and was in the processes of leveling at Jenna when Major Newman and half a dozen officers burst in. A young Ensign had his weapon in hand and fired at DeSade wounding him and others where on him wrestling the weapon from him. Ja was at Jenna’s side he released her and carried her from the room.

Newman ordered DeSade taken back to the ship and then went to check on Jenna.

Are you all right?

There was true concern in his voice for the young red haired beauty.

It all happened so quickly that Jenna could barely follow it. Suddenly she was no longer ont he rack but in Ja's arms and curled tightly against him. She couldn't stop the soft sob that wrenched her throat when he laid her on their bed and the bottom of her foot touched the mattress. She thought she'd seen DeSade be hurt but wasn't sure and before she could ask the Major was by her side as well asking if she was all right.

Slowly she nodded. "I'll be fine Major, my Master knew how greatly I feared DeSade and how much the man loathed me. He monitored the room to ensure that DeSade wouldn't mar his property."

As much as she wished she could simply say that her Master loved and cherished her she couldn't. Common sense had re-asserted itself and if didn't want to draw too much of the General's attention than he had to believe it was a Tellurian that owned her not a Rapture. To tell the Major that her Master's rage was more than concern over his investment would be to tip the General off, especially with so many ears listening outside the doorway.

She was gratified to know that the men cared for most of those she could see were those who had come to simply talk to her and had taken no pleasure from her body.

Reaching up gently she cupped the Major's cheek and offered him a small smile. "I'm afraid I've been rendered quite useless tonight Major. I am sorry we won't get to say a proper goodbye." Nodding slightly to Ja she continued in a softer tone, "My Master had made much money from me Major and has told me he considers conveniently being in your star groups next port of call, but we don't know where that is. If you tell him we will be able to see each other again and I will be able to give a proper hello and goodbye."

 

[cgraven]

Reaching up gently she cupped the Major's cheek and offered him a small smile. "I'm afraid I've been rendered quite useless tonight Major. I am sorry we won't get to say a proper goodbye."

The touch of her hand was truly gentle, and the touch of regret in her soft voice was genuine. Ja Dur knew it, he knew Jenna was his and yet it still hurt to see how much she truly cared for the man. Ja knew it was much deeper than the girl realized for despite all the trials and tribulations she had suffered Jenna O’Reily was still very innocent in the ways of love. She knew passion, want, and need, she knew that Ja cherished her, but they both knew he could never love her as a member of her on species could. Jenna’s voice softens as she continued.

My Master had made much money from me Major and has told me he considers conveniently being in your star groups next port of call, but we don't know where that is. If you tell him we will be able to see each other again and I will be able to give a proper hello and goodbye."

The question was subtitle one that would be expected and yet the Major stiffened for a moment as Fleet movements where always a matter of the greatest secrecy. Yet as he looked at the fragile little beauty her soft eyes, her sweet voice seduced him, and before her realized it he gave Jenna the information she was seeking.

Newman spent a few more moments speaking with her but when he saw her grimace in pain he took his leave.

Till we meet again Miss O’Reily.”

The major kissed her cheek and turned to leave.

 

[caela]

"Till we meet again Miss O’Reily."

"I look forward to it Major," she said softly as he kissed her cheek.

She watched him leave the room and heard him telling the rest of the men that she would be well as he ushered them from the home. She could tell from the slight grumbling she heard that many of them wanted to check on her for themselves but the Major led them away and Ja closed the door to their room to keep out prying eyes.

She tried not to move too much on the bed. Every muscle in her body ached with pain from being racked so tightly even for a short time and the bottom of her foot screamed in agony when she shifted even the tiniest bit. Looking up to Ja she offered him a warm though pained smile and whispered softly, "Thank you for getting me out of there."

As he looked down on her she could see the hurt in his gaze and knew it must have cost him much to see her tenderness with the Major. Gently she patted the seat beside beckoning him to sit, "I have a story to tell you my love, please sit and listen and at the end I hope it steals that look from your eyes."

 

[cgraven]

Looking up to Ja she offered him a warm though pained smile and whispered softly, "Thank you for getting me out of there."

“I should have killed the bastard and had done with it.”

Ja had known from the beginning that DeSade was a sadist and that was enough for him to have turned him away but that is something Rapture would do not a Turllian.

Gently she patted the seat beside beckoning him to sit,

"I have a story to tell you my love, please sit and listen and at the end I hope it steals that look from your eyes."

Ja came to her side he sat there his hand stroking her hair as he waited to hear what she had to say.

 

[caela]

Ja came to her side he sat there his hand stroking her hair as he waited to hear what she had to say.

Jenna smiled at the gentle gesture and despite the pain it caused her she shifted slightly to lay her head in his lap, her silken mane flowing out across his knees.

"On Mattock's ship I mourned your loss. Any free time he gave me was usually spent in tears. He assumed it was because you were dead and I was mourning your loss. I think he liked knowing that I would go and cry myself senseless over you and then come back and serve him so sweetly.

And I did Ja, I served him sweetly and meekly. He was...kind. Until that last day when he put me unwittingly on the block he was nothing but kind and gentle to me. It was disarming and something I didn't know how to fight."

As she spoke her eyes drifted to the window, looking out it but not really seeing anything, remembering her time on the ship.

"Everyone knew he kept me like a pet. In meetings were nothing sensitive was being discussed I knelt at his feet and he'd stroke my hair while he talked. If I wasn't to be allowed into the meeting than I kneeled outside the door. It was in those hallways that I met most of the men you've seen come in as clients. They were never forbidden from talking to me just from touching me.

Major Newman was often a visitor and for most of my time aboard the General's ship our conversations never went beyond polite small talk. Until he found me on in a holo suite sobbing my heart out. He was so uncomfortable with it. He's a man whose spent most of his life on startships and not around human women, to see me like that...the look on his face was touching. I could tell he wanted to run but instead he comforted and soothed me the best he could. He let me pour my heart out to him and I told him everything, except that you were alive.

And he wanted nothing in return.

After that there was a difference in our relationship. A new bond. Given time I think we would have become true friends. He wants me now because I hold the allure of the unattainable. Wanting me, loving me, is safe. Ican make no demands on him nor really can he make any on me. There is passion yes but inexperienced as I am I can tell it is the sort that would cool in time, mellow, until only the friendship remains.

Yes, part of me loves him, I find him attractive but that is the result of him being the first male in my life to not want to take from me, whose wanted me for no reason other than myself. It's something I'll cherish but it's not something to build on, it would be like trying to build a castle on sand."

Reaching up she cupped his cheek as he was about to say something and pressed her thumb gently over his lips, "When I said I was yours Ja Dur Apre I meant it. You have me not because you bought me or compelled me but because you gave me the choice and I choose you. Always you."

 

[cgraven]

Reaching up she cupped his cheek as he was about to say something and pressed her thumb gently over his lips,

"When I said I was yours Ja Dur Apre I meant it. You have me not because you bought me or compelled me but because you gave me the choice and I choose you. Always you."

JA Dur was indeed about to say something when his little Vixen gentle touch silence him for the moment. He felt sorry for his little Vixen, as she lay there on his lap her soft eyes looking up into his eyes, her hair so soft and silken faming her angelic face. Again the image of a fallen angel comes to his mind. She spoke of the affection that she held for Major Newman, the kindness of the men of the fleet that had come to her here, to buy her for an hour or so. Ja knew what he would say next would hurt perhaps cut Jenna to her very soul.

“And when we ambush Mattock’s Star Destroyer Jenna we will have to blow it in to star dust, to ensure that Mattock and DeSade do not escape.”

Jenna O’Reily for so long had concentrated on the reality that her enemies Mattock and now the sadistic Captain DeSade had to be eliminated, or they would continue to come after her, that they would never rest until she was under their control, to suffer new humiliations daily, to see her suffer daily.

“Jenna and when we do attack Major Newman and many other’s people that have no part in Mattock and DeSade’s plan for you will be killed. The innocent will be killed along with the guilty. That is the nature of war my sweet little Vixen.”

For the first time the full impact of ther decision to fight, to stopping running truly face Jenna O’Reily, The innocent would perish with the guilty. Ja Dur also knew that they would have to leave the little house that he had set up as a Brothel, where Jenna had served the fleet’s men with her body for Captain DeSade would return soon to take his vengeance he was not the kind of man to take being thwarted lightly.

“We must leave and return to the safety of JACE before DeSade returns for he surly will and with out a doubt with Mattock’s blessing to reclaim you”

 

[caela]

The innocent with the guilty....it had never occured to her before that anyone but Mattock, and maybe DeSade as well, would die. Could she bear to be responsible for all that death and destruction? No, but she could, they couldn't, keep running forever either. There had to be a way to kill only Mattock and DeSade. There had to be.

“We must leave and return to the safety of JACE before DeSade returns for he surly will and with out a doubt with Mattock’s blessing to reclaim you”

His words snapped her from her thoughts and she looked up at him, pain still glowing in her eyes. "I don't think I can make it to JACE love. It took nearly all my strength just to curl closer to you like this. I need to sleep, I'm in so much pain Ja, every muscle hurts from how tightly he had me racked. He kept tightening it until the damn safety lock engaged, I'm surprised it didn't dislocate my arms."

She needed to sleep and she needed to think, but mostly she needed sleep to make the pain go away if only for a short time.

 

[cgraven]

"I don't think I can make it to JACE love. It took nearly all my strength just to curl closer to you like this. I need to sleep, I'm in so much pain Ja, every muscle hurts from how tightly he had me racked. He kept tightening it until the damn safety lock engaged, I'm surprised it didn't dislocate my arms."

Ja Dur knew that Jenna spoke from mere facts as a way to divert her mind form something she had never considered before, to delay really addressing the fact that the innocent would die along with the guilty. Ja Dur knew that that was the fate of fighting men and women, to fight and die for commanders that where often less than worthy. Yes his vixen needed rest, to sleep to regain her strength. But they could not rest here. As tenderly as he could Ja warped Jenna in a blanket, even his tender care could not stop the pain from lacing through her body. How he longed just to let her stay where she was. But they had to get to the safety of JACE.

The trip was long and hard on Jenna O’Reily, She was in tears by the time that Ja laid her in the bunk of their cabin. He gave her a tablet and held out a cup of water.

“Take this Vixen?”

The sedative soon took effect and she drifted off into a drug induced sleep. There would be time later to face her fears but rest was what she needed now.

 

[caela]

“Take this Vixen?”

The sedative soon took effect and she drifted off into a drug induced sleep. There would be time later to face her fears but rest was what she needed now.

She almost didn't take it. She hated sedatives, they always gave her nightmares and until they wore off she couldn't wake from them, but she was in so much pain. She knew she'd never be able to fall asleep naturally and so she took the pill and sipped the water he gave her feeling it take effect quickly as she sank into sleep.

The nightmare came quickly: Over and over again she saw the General's Destroyer on JACE's screen. Everytime she moved with JACE to fire on it to destroy it her conciousness was moved from JACE to the Destroyer and she watched as flame and explosions engulfed the ship. Tearing it into nothing but space dust and leaving her floating, hearing the screams of the innocent men she'd killed for her revenge.

Afterward their faces haunted her. Faces she knew, men who had paid Ja for the simple pleasure of just spending and hour or two talking with her when they could have done much more for their money.

Again and again she saw the same things, heard the screams of men she sentenced to die along with Mattock.

As the nightmare held her tightly she thrashed and kicked, her body twisting and writhing, trying to claw to wakefullness but unable to with the drug heavy in her system. At last the sedative weakened enough that she sat bolt upright in the bunk, her throat wrenching with a sharp scream, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Ja Dur had kept watch over his vixen and he saw her toss and turn her fears given voice in her restless sleep her body twisting and turning as she faced the demons that haunted and tormented her. till finally that one word was screamed in her utter all consuming terror. Her naked body shimmered with sweat, her breathing was ragged, ther young girl was gasping for breathe as J cradled her in his arms Jenna’s naked body pressed to his her cheeks stained with her tears.

“Vixen you are safe, I am here.”

Ja Dur did not have to ask what had caused that agonizing scream for Jenna O’Reily was a child that knew how to love, and her quest for vengeance was something alien to her nature, yet her fear of Mattock and DeSade was well founded and she had come to know just how evil they where. He just held her when she was ready to speak she would but for now all he could do was let the young red haired beauty know that she was safe in his arms, that he was therefore her and when she was ready he would listen .

He just held her when she was ready to speak she would but for now all he could do was let the young red haired beauty know that she was safe in his arms, that he was therefore her and when she was ready he would listen .

"I, I can't do it Ja. If I didn't know all those men I could but I do. They aren't just numbers on a chart but faces and voices that will haunt me the rest of my day if I send them to their deaths. If we seek Mattock's death it must be in a manner that kills only him. And Desade as well. No one else. I couldn't bear it if that nightmare were my reality."

Unconciously she shuddered and curled closer against his chest. Her body was still racked with pain and while she had slept it had been so fitful that it had caused more harm than good to both body and mind. She was tired in more ways than one. Tired physically, mentally and emotionally. All she wanted was the sweet peace of oblivion in that moment but knew it wasn't to be hers.

"Ja, the General's ships won't reach their next port for another six months, could we, could we just go somewhere quiet where we can simply enjoy life for a time?"

 

[cgraven]

"I, I can't do it Ja. If I didn't know all those men I could but I do…………….

There was real distress in Jenna’s voice she was distraught, trembling as she spoke her soft amber eyes where darkly rimed and the young red head was clearly spent. The last year from her arrest to the latest encounter with Captain DeSade had finally taken there total and Ja Dur was afraid for her, very afraid. Her soft body was curled to his as she continued.

"Ja, the General's ships won't reach their next port for another six months, could we, could we just go somewhere quiet where we can simply enjoy life for a time?"

She was sobbing on the verge of hysteria when she pleaded with him for some place where they could go, to escape from the ghosts and demons that haunted her.

“Hush Vixen just sleep now I will find a place where you can rest free of the general, free of fear if only for a while.”

He eased her back on to the bunk and held he hand until her exhausted and spent body claimed the sleep she so desperately needed. Ja Dur searched his memories of all the planets and worlds he had visited in his long life, a place that they could go so Jenna could heal both physically and mentally. His mind drifted back to her Holo-program and suddenly her knew where to take her, a place few went forgotten by time ad place a planet where no human would dare to go. Slowly Ja set the course for Lock Dawn Woe. It was on the fringe of the known Galaxy, an area that even the freebooter’s avoided, and area under the military control of the Rapture Council.


Lock Dawn Woe was a watery planet, with only a few scattered Islands of dry lands though the atmosphere was breathable it had to little land and to few minerals to be worth colonization, or mining efforts and so had been forgotten. At one time many years ago there had been a Rapture science station that he had served on as a young ensign. And it was very close to Jenna’s beach. The planet had a mild climate and two moons. Three weeks later they arrived and Ja Dur took JACE to the Surface and landed. There would be no trace by long range scanners to revel that this is where they had fled to.

 

[caela]

“Hush Vixen just sleep now I will find a place where you can rest free of the general, free of fear if only for a while.”

Slowly she sank into sleep, her fingers clinging to his and refusing to let go even once she sank deep into unconciousness. She used him as an anchor to keep from losing her mind and to keep the nightmares at bay.

When she woke again she could see from the resolve in Ja's eyes that he had thought of somewhere they could go but he wouldn't tell her where saying only that he thought she would like it. Over the next three weeks she was like a wraithe, quiet and pale. It was obvious her mind was turning on things better left alone but she couldn't keep from poking at the wounds to her psyche.

Each night she clung to Ja like he was some sort of large security blanket, like a child clinging to the sight of a nightlight to keep the monsters at bay in the dark. Her dreams were nightmares and she could hear the voices of the men who would die if she continued her quest to see the end of the General and the Captain. She would wake screaming or sobbing and cling all the tighter to Ja as she fell back into sleep.

Because of the nightmare's she began to sleep less which made her even more pale and circles appeared under her eyes at all times. She lost her appetite as well and ate only when Ja insisted on it. She knew she needed the nourishment but everything tasted like cardboard and she seemed to have lost the ability to feel hunger.

At last they reached the planet Ja had guided them to and as she watched on the viewscreen she was startled at how much water and how little land there was. Granted Earth itself was more water than land but this! She couldn't help but wonder what strange creatures might have evolved on such a world and for the first time in weeks a true spark of interest in something lit her eyes.

When they landed she raced out of the ship and onto the beach, running headlong for the water but stopping just short of it and backpeddling as a wave crashed up to shore. Glancing back at Ja she asked softly, "Is it actually water and is there anything this close to shore that could hurt me?"

Fr the first time in weeks a true spark of interest in something lit her eyes.

When they landed she raced out of the ship and onto the beach, running headlong for the water but stopping just short of it and backpedaling as a wave crashed up to shore. Glancing back at Ja she asked softly,

"Is it actually water and is there anything this close to shore that could hurt me?"

“Yes it is actually water and no there is nothing that can hurt you.”

Ja Dur watched and waited to see what she would do now that she knew the water was safe. He had been worried as he had watched Jenna slowly slipping in to the darkness of despair and the seductive call of madness that had called to her over the last week in particular. Yet now that familiar bright light in her Amber eyes he smiled and knew in time and with rest his vixen would be well.

“Now go play and relax. I have one or two things to tend too.”

It was jus after noon when they had arrived and it was late afternoon when Ja called Jenna to supper.

 

[caela]

“Now go play and relax. I have one or two things to tend too.”

It was jus after noon when they had arrived and it was late afternoon when Ja called Jenna to supper.

Almost before the words were out of his mouth she had turned and ran out into the water, letting it enfold her in it's gentle embrace. She was surprised to realize that unlike Earth's oceans this wasn't salt but fresh water, clean and pure. Ja had said nothing could hurt her here so when some strange creature swam up curiously to see what this new creature in his waters was she simply held still and allowed it to slide against her legs and arms.

It was a strange sensation, she'd thought it feel slimy or scaly and most of the water creatures she was accustomed to did but instead it felt dry and warm, like the softest brush of silk against her skin. It looked much like a jellyfish but it didn't sting her and where one moment there had been a dark purplish cap there were suddenly a large pair of eyes looking up at her that were the most amazing shade of blue she'd ever seen. The creature obviously decided she was safe enough for a moment later the cap pulsed and the tentacles twirled slightly propelling it away into deeper water.

All afternoon Jenna lay in the water simply floating, letting the natural rhythem of the waves carry her away from shore and then swimming back when it was almost out of site. More creatures came to see this new oddity in their waters and their lack of fear amazed Jenna. For a time they played with her, swimming around her in circles and staying just out of reach when her fingers stretched to touch one. It was amusing and each time she laughed they would press closer to her seeming to like the sound.

Finally Ja called her in from the waves and came from the water dripping but warm and actually hungry for the first time in weeks! Not bothering to dress she settled into the table and began to eat heartily.

 

[cgraven]

Jenna O’Reily came from the water dripping but warm and actually hungry for the first time in weeks! Not bothering to dress she settled into the table and began to eat heartily.

Ja Dur had watched Jenna most of the afternoon, he had been on the small rise that was where the Rapture science station stood. The place brought back memories of his youth of the hours spent learning the creatures of this water world planet. There wher few predators here and most of them hunted the depths of the planet’s sea. That was on e of the reasons Ja had chosen Lock Dawn Woe. The meal came from JACE’s food replicaters but for desert he had collected wild berries very similar to the earth’s raspberries, as well as a large nut similar to a coconut but it milk was more like fresh heavy cream.

“A treat for you Vixen try them I think you will like them.

He popped a berry into his mouth and smiled as her held one out on his fingers for Jenna to try the rich dark berry dripping with the cream. Ther was a teasing gleam in his reptilian eyes. He patted his lap and told Jenna to lay down and rest as he fed her the berries and cream. The sun was just setting and the twin moons where rising.

He patted his lap and told Jenna to lay down and rest as he fed her the berries and cream. The sun was just setting and the twin moons where rising.

Jenna laughed softly as he patted his lap and she moved to stretch out, her head resting on his thigh. When he fed her the first berry she purred softly. It was more flavorful than the rasberries she'd eaten on earth and juicier as well. There was a bit of tartness to it that made the sweetness almost sharp. The cream was sweet and warm and the combination of the two was heavenly to Jenna.

As she watched the sky Jenna laughed once more in delight to see the two moons rising above them, both full and heavy and shining brightly with no lights of civilization to mar their beauty. A small sigh escaped her lips and for the first time in months she fully relaxed. She felt knots she hadn't even realized she had relaxing and easing leaving her feeling almost boneless as she lay next to Ja Dur. Just wanting to hear his voice she asked softly, "Tell me about this place, how did you know it was here?"

 

[cgraven]

"Tell me about this place, how did you know it was here?"

Jenna’s voice was a soft relaxed whisper. She had simply taken the berries from his fingers , she had not tried to make it an erotic experience as she would have on the prison asteroid or even on JACE. Ja was beginning to realize as she lay there her head on his thigh that there was more to the girl then just her submissive nature, her firry spirit; that often got her in trouble more often than not, and oh yes that iron will of hers. Ja Dur did not why Lock Dawn Woe brought the reflective part of his nature, perhaps it was the lack of observable civilization. The quite peacefulness of the planet so natural so unspoiled.

”Ja”

As she called his name softly, he realized that he had been lost in thought. Ja brushed a stray strand of hair from her face and smiled down into her deep peaceful amber eyes, and for the first time sense he had known Jenna O’Reily her soul was at peace.

“When I was a young Rapture, before your species reached for the stars, I was assigned her as an Ensign to help with a scientific study of Lock Dawn Woe.”

He paused as he saw a flicker of realization in Jenna’s eyes that he was much, much older than she had ever suspected. If what he said was true that would mean that Ja Dur Apre was at least 400 years old even though he appeared to be around 60 years old in human years.

“… few outside of the First Circle of the Rapture Council know of its existence Jenna.”

He paused again as he saw a question in her eyes.

“What is it Vixen?”

Jenna blinked when he said he'd been assigned here "before your species reached for the stars". She hadn't realized that Raptures were so long lived and couldn't help wondering just how old he actually was and how long a Raptures life cycle could last barring an abnormal death.

“What is it Vixen?”

She chuckled softly and couldn't help cursing that her face was so easy to read. All her thoughts and emotions showed there and he had learned to read her well. Finally she had to ask, "Just how old ARE you Ja Dur Apre? And how long is a Rapture's life?"

She tipped her head slightly to look up at him better, her amber eyes glowing in the soft moolight as she waited for his reply.

Just how old ARE you Ja Dur Apre? And how long is a Rapture's life?"

She tipped her head slightly to look up at him better, her amber eyes glowing in the soft moonlight as she waited for his reply.

God how he loved her eyes so clear so round and so very expressive., her voice too pleased Ja Dur smooth as silk, just the slightest shift in her tone or pitch and he knew exactly how she was feeling, true for another human the change would be unnoticed but not for him. Where Das had been filled with fear and regret Jenna seemed inquzative about Raptures. How to tell her without scaring her.

Raptures can live to be a 1,000 or more of your years Jenna and I am a mere 500 years old. There was a light teasing quality to his voice and a glimmer in his serpentine eyes. He could not help but tease his Vixen a bit more.

“So Jenna O’Reily how does it feel to have made love to a Rapture old enough to be your Great, great, great,, great grandfather?”

“So Jenna O’Reily how does it feel to have made love to a Rapture old enough to be your Great, great, great,, great grandfather?”

Jenna laughed softly and smirked up at him, "You don't look your age Ja so the real question is, how does it feel to have made love to a Human who is young enough to be granddaughter?"

1000 years! That was so long. She would have grown old and been space dust for centuries before he himself passed away. He cared for her now but how would he feel about his human pleasure slave when she grew older and the signs of age crept along her face? How would he feel when her human form was no longer supple and sweet but infirm and unable to handle the dark passions they both took such pleasures in?

Before he could answer her teasing question she rolled to her feet with a small sob and raced out into the waters of the ocean with tears rolling down her cheeks. She was surprised to see her tears glow an almost incandescent pink in the water. She could see Ja at the shoreline and dove deep under the water, her body slicing sideways away from where he scanned the surface for her.

She was startled when a school of the strange jellyfish like creatures swam up to her and gently pushed her back toward Ja was watching for her. She tried to swin away in the other direction but again they gently forced her back to where he could find her. She couldn't help but think that they knew she was running away like a scared child and felt that they were trying to keep her safe. It made her wonder if they were much, much, more intelligent than they appeared.

Resigned to the fact that they weren't going to allow her out of Ja's sight she simply flipped to her back and floated, her eyes locked on the moons above as she wondered what twisted God controled the road her life seemed to travel.
