CHAPTER FIVE
Nathan woke up feeling Penny oiling his body, and the feeling was luxurious and he closed his eyes. The Mistress was stood in the doorway watching and smiling at Penny. “Your hands are so soft Penny; you have all day to stop doing that.”
Penny struck his buttocks with the flat of her hand Slap, “Owe that hurt”
“Don’t be silly I was swatting a fly now turn over.”
“Yea right and I’m Peter Pan” and then He heard the Mistress and Penny laugh, and he added “It’s a conspiracy.” He turned over onto his back and said “I hope you are not going to be silly today Penny?”
“Be quiet you talk too much and she kissed him quick on the lips.”
“Mm I could get used to that, remind me to add that onto the TLC that you are administering. Then again I fail to see where that slap on the ass came in.”
After breakfast the Mistress walked out to him with Penny while he was outside and said “You don’t have to do this anymore Tim... Nathan?” What do you want me to call you now?
“Either I don’t mind Mistress.”
“Well stop calling me Mistress.”
“I can’t help it, I’ve got used to saying it now, and as for not doing this; I would like to add that it is getting me fit once more, and I enjoy being out here. At the end of the day the wood still has to be cut, and the estate still has to be looked after. Now is there any news on Carman?”
The Mistress told Nathan all that Carman had done to Don and his girlfriend, and that Carman could smell Don’s after shave when being assaulted, Carman also told the Mistress that she had not informed the police of that information, just in case they end up interviewing you. But she is now too frightened to leave her house.
Nathan looked at the Mistress saying “Something has to be done with him, and before he maims or kills a woman. You do know what I am saying Mistress?”
“I grant you your wish Timothy; it will be sorted out today. Do you want to be part of his punishment?
It is enough to know that you are taking care of business for me, and I do know that you are good at your work. There is one thing though Mistress, as he will be in your domain for a while, I would also ask that you show him a little mercy but only a little. His mental punishment will come from other sources. Now if you will excuse me ladies I have a small task to finish; by the way my treasure is on that dresser and it might surprise you. You had better tell Carman that she will have nothing to fear after tonight.
***
Don was at work and at break time he was sitting with Jill, she said “I see that Carman got beat up last night it was all over the news.”
“Well you know there are some rough people in this neighbourhood” and he laughed.
“You do know that she is really pissed off with both of us at the moment, well you at least for fucking her marriage up. She doesn’t know about me, and she had better not find out or a certain picture, will find its way to the police station.”
“You told me that you had destroyed that Jill, what’s your fucking game.”
“Insurance, if you can do that to Carman, then I think you could do it to me. The picture is quite safe, and will remain safe as long as you never fuck with me. You’re a nasty person Don, you were at school and you are still the same, it is that part of you that I don’t like.”
***
Don had been it the Old Malt House public house most of the evening, and he had been eying up the girl at the bar. She had looked over towards him several times and smiled, but she had another woman with her that was much older, and it was putting him off talking to her. He finished his pint and walked to the bar next to the girl, and as he ordered his pint he looked the girl in the face. “I haven’t seen you in this pub before, do you live local?”
“I’m staying here with my friend for a couple of days, I’m Penny what’s your name.”
“Don, would you like a drink?”
“No thank you, I have to get a lift in a minute.” As she spoke to Don, the woman that had been with Penny walked out. Don thought to himself then, that they had nothing to do with each other and moved closer. I am just going over the road to the phone box to call a taxi.”
“Look, I am just about to leave so if you like I will escort you to the phone box. It’s not safe around here at the moment; a young woman was attacked here only the other night.”
“Thank you, that is kind of you, and she picked up her bag off the bar top. Then turned towards the door, Don opened the door for her and she walked out. It was as he followed her out that he felt something stick in his arm, and then it went black.
***
Nathan was in bed and Penny walked in, and she picked up the oil, and started to oil his back. She never said anything but quietly went about her business, her hands were soft on his back and his eyes were closed. His body was beginning to heal, and she could feel that his muscles were now beginning to tighten up. The exercise outside with the wood was doing him good.
Once again Nathan was dreaming, he was down in the punishment room sitting near the wall, there was a beautiful woman spread-eagled in the frame and she was naked. Mistress Chrystal was coiling up the whip and she walked over to the wall and placed it on its hanger. Then as she walked back she put out her hand, and again he walked over to her and took what was offered.
As he was standing there the woman looked down at him and he looked back into her eyes, there were two more looking back at him from within the woman’s eyes. They were evil but at the same time Nathan could see that they were in retreat, but the eyes were powerful and menacing, and Nathan knew that they meant him harm.
The scene changed and he was now outside with his father, and his father was kissing Mistress Chrystal, there were tears in their eyes, and he could not understand what was happening. They stopped their embrace and his father walked around to the other side of the car and a door closed. “Goodbye Timothy my silent witness, you must now go by your new name of Nathan, do all that you father says, and soon you will return to your real Mistress, and always remember Nathan, vengeance will be mine.”
***
Mistress Donna was down stairs and in the large room with the picture; she walked over to the dresser and looked at the bag Nathan had put there. She went to pick it up, and found that Nathan had made it look easy. So she used both hands, and walked over to her desk with the bag. Then once she had sat down she looked inside and there must have been at least five hundred sovereigns inside. She just sat there wondering what they were worth, because they were mostly in mint condition. The Mistress bent down, and after turning the combination on the lock, she opened the safe at the side of her desk, then she put Nathans bag of treasure inside, and then locking the door once more.
Don opened his eyes, and looked around the room trying to remember what had happened. He was in the pub and that was all he could remember, ‘what the hell happened and where am I?’ He was pulled tight over a padded bench, with his hands strapped to the floor and the rest of his body held down tight. He could also feel that he was naked, and it was making him feel vulnerable, ‘fuck what’s happening to me?’
The door opened and a woman walked in and she was smiling, he tried to speak but then found that there was a gag in his mouth. She walked to his front and looked down at him, and then walked all around him and looked at his body. Then once again she was in front of him and he started shouting through the gag. He was shouting where am I, what’s happening, why am I here, but all that came out of his mouth was a burbled noise? The woman just smiled, and walked out of sight leaving him frustrated.
Mistress Donna walked into the dining room while the staff and Nathan were eating. “Have you been told Nathan; that our package has arrived, and he is now where you where five days ago. Would you like to see him before I start working on him?”
“No Mistress, I think it best that he knows very little about why he is here.”
“I wish you would stop calling me Mistress.”
“I can’t help it, the name was beat into me” Then he laughed “Thinking about it, I must have called mother Mistress. Did you check out my treasure, Penny and I counted over six hundred coins? I have never seen so many sovereigns in one place.”
“As many as that, have you any idea what you are going to do with them Nathan?”
“I haven’t thought about it, but I suppose they ought to be put somewhere safe. Have you checked out the secret yet?”
“No, I was going to do that sometime today, and your treasure is now in the safe. I will be going into the punishment room in a moment. Before I go in there is there anything you wish to say about his punishment.
Nathan sat there and thought then answered “He will be here a long time. I would not want to see him as scarred as I was, but at the same time he must feel pain. I was a little hasty yesterday and was not thinking straight, the usual welts that will fade in time. Looking around your room, I could see that you have a lot more things that would give him pain. I want him on his knees, for what he did to Carman, and I want him a broken man for what he did to my marriage. I believe that he in his stupidity and ignorance; was the reason for the miscarriage, and he must be punished. Then we will drop him back home hopefully with no scars except the ones inside his head, he will never again touch another woman. I have also just thought; that it might be best if I don’t see him direct at least, I would not want to compromise Carman on his release.”
“Then I will leave you to your work Timothy, and go about mine. We will talk this evening when things are a lot clearer.”
Don was not in a very good mood because he was a little scared of why he was in the position that he was. He heard the door behind him open and close; then footsteps behind him. Thwack, his eyes opened wide and he screamed through the gag, the searing running through his buttocks was unreal. Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, he was pulling on his restraints to no avail. Then as the last stroke fell he heard the footsteps once more, the woman from earlier was once more in front of him and holding a cane.
“Now listen in you piece of filth, you have a multiple of crimes that you have been sent here for. A lot of people have paid a lot of money, to have you sent here for correction. Your crimes, are messing with other women, while your own woman is in hospital, giving birth to your Baby. While being unfaithful, you split a marriage up; it was done with little regard for the people that cared for each other. You also put a young lady in hospital, by punching her to the ground, and we have been told this from a reliable source. You will be here for a long time, because one person has been here before you, and had his body raked with pain all because of your wondering hands. It is because of him, that you will be punished, but unlike him your mind cannot be tortured the same way his was.”
It was just then that the women walked through the door; they too walked to his front.
“You see these women; well let me tell you the same as I tell all my guests. They all hate men; each one has been beaten, and just like you beat Carman, so I would think that it would be fair to say, none of them will show you any more mercy than I will. It is no good begging for mercy, as there will be none here to give you, my friends and I have used all our mercy up, and this room is void of it. By the time this day is over, your body will have been kissed by the flogger many times.”
Once again this woman walked out of sight, and then when she came back she had the flogger in her hand. “My name is Mistress Donna, and if I think fit to ask you a question then you will answer by finishing your sentence with that name. If you need to ask me a question, which I might or might not answer, you will prefix the sentence or question with Mistress Donna. Do you understand?”
Don nodded his head with the little movement he had, looking all the time at the instrument she had in her hand and thinking. ‘He wanted no trouble with this woman. He had read about Mistress’s, and he knew that they could be a dangerous commodity. This one with her posse of women behind her; looked extremely dangerous. Who had grassed him up, and who had paid for this; he knew that it was not one person, because she had just told him so. It could not be Carman, because she as far as he knew was in hospital. Jill she had to be one because she knew all about him, she also knew what he had done to Carman. He admitted that putting her in hospital was a mistake; he was surprised that the police were not after him. But when the press interviewed her, she had told them the same as she told the police. That she had no idea who her attacker was. The only one he could think of was either Nathan or his ex girlfriend Tracy. Now her family were really pissed off with him, and they were very dangerous people.’
His thoughts were broken when he felt the flogger strike his buttocks, where only a short time previous the cane had left its mark, or so he thought. Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, “I’ll bet you were not expecting that you slimy lump of shit. Well I have only just started and you’re screaming already.” Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, Mistress Donna was hearing his scream’s on every strike. “What are you screaming for, I haven’t even started yet, and you have more of the same twice more today?”
Nathan had been outside a few hours, when he felt that he was being watched. He looked up to the window and saw the Mistress looking down at him, and then he heard the voice. “Timothy your tormenter has had his first punishment of the day, but he is not scarred. That is how it should be, but after his third today, I will torment him through the night. For the pain he caused you, he will think he is living in hell. Show your sister the secret of the mirror; it is time to show your tormenter the wrath of hell. I will always be looking after you Timothy; your enemies are my enemies. No one has entered our secret Timothy, there is nothing there for either of you too fear. You too may go there but the ledger is for Donna Marie’s eyes only. You are still loyal and obedient to my commands, and I love you for it.”
“Yes Mistress, but how long will you be here with me Mistress?
“I will have to leave soon as my time will be over, but I will always remain here in your heart. There is another that has to be punished, and you will bring her to me, after this one has moved on. This one is a more serious challenge to Donna Marie, because she is possessed by the beast, and it will be the test of all tests. This is the same beast as Sister Clair, and life has turned a full circle at Chrystal House, the beast that sent you away, has now brought you back. I will visit you before I go to say farewell, the answers are in the secret room, but you and I know all the answers Timothy. I will leave you now and let you work back to health, and we will talk again Timothy.”
Knowing that she had left his presence, he looked up, and saw the Mistress looking down at him still. He smiled in her direction and carried on with his work.
It was an hour later when he walked in for lunch, and he had worked up an appetite. He sat down in his usual place and Penny was at his side, he smiled at her then started eating. Belle said “Don has had his first session; Mistress Donna said if you wanted to know how it went, I was permitted to tell you.”
“He probably screamed on every stroke, but there were no marks on his body; as Mistress Donna would not do that. He is only here while the Mistress of Chrystal house sees fit to punish him, but when he leaves this establishment, he will have scars of a different kind. He will leave a different person, shall we say more subdued and peaceful. Belle, would you ask the Mistress, if I could speak with him, but only after his third session of the day? Now if you will excuse me ladies, I must go and work, the shed is not full yet. He smiled at Penny and asked would you bring me a cold drink out in an hour’s time.” Then he gently squeezed her hand.
Belle had walked up to the private room of Mistress Donna; she sat down in the other armchair next to her looking at the TV screen. “Did Nathan ask about Don’s punishment Belle?”
“No, he told me that you had not marked him, but when he leaves here he will have scars of a different kind. He also said that Don was only here while the Mistress of Chrystal house sees fit to punish him.” Mistress Dona was wondering what he had meant by that, and then she got another surprise. “He has also asked me, to ask you, if he can talk to Don after his third punishment of the day?”
“So he has decided to talk with him, I wonder what changed his mind, did you tell Nathan that there was going to be three punishments during the day?”
“No Mistress, I thought you had.”
“I can’t remember, but I suppose I must have done. I also think that we had better go and give Don some more of the same. Don will only get a light punishment because he will be here a long time.” The Mistress stood up and then stepped out of the door, Belle was close behind as she walked down the stairs.
They both walked into the punishment room together and without saying anything the Mistress picked up the flogger. She could see that don was asleep and it was time he opened his eyes. Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, and Don’s eyes opened wide as the first stroke was felt on his buttocks. Then on every stroke afterwards he screamed through the gag, there were also tears falling from his eyes. The Mistress walked to his front and looked at him “Well I see that now I have your attention you slop of dogs piss. You have got one more session before you have a hot meal tonight, then your punishment will commence once again tomorrow morning. You will have a visitor after you have eaten, but I have no idea what that visitor is going to say to you. Your gag will remain in until after your third session today, and then it will be removed.” Then without another word the Mistress walked away and out of the room.
Nathan had been outside for an hour, when he saw the Mistress and penny walking out with the cold drink. He stopped and put the saw down, and he sat on the pile of logs that were waiting to be moved to the shed. The Mistress looked at the sweat shining all over his body and said “There is no reason for you to work so hard Timothy, there is the rest of the year to finish filling the wood shed.”
“It’s ok, I’m getting fit doing it, has Belle spoke to you yet about my request?”
“Yes and of course you can, whatever changed your mind? I thought you were worried that Carman might be implicated. Are you not worried about repercussions when he leaves here?”
“When he leaves this establishment, he will be a different person to the nasty vile person that he is now. I will talk to him and put him in the correct frame of mind, so that he is under no illusion to why he is here. Before I go in I would like him to be blindfolded, and I know that you will have already placed him on the St Georges cross to sleep the night. I have another secret to show you tonight when I go down to see him, you have not been up into the secret room yet. There is nothing there to be frightened of; Mistress Chrystal gave you her blessing.”
“How did you know, that I was going to put him on the cross Timothy, I have never told you?”
“Do you know you look like our mother, so much, that when I see you looking down at me working, I think it is her? You also work in her same routine, and I remember from a long time ago, how our mother worked. As a child I remember walking into the punishment room on several occasions, the strangest thing was, Mistress Chrystal never chastised me for it. She sat me down on a bench, and I watched as she disciplined men and women alike. While I am out here drowning in my own thoughts, the memories come flooding back. I have visions and flashbacks of happy times, I have visions of people talking, but the same as when you’re a child, their language is alien. Mistress Chrystal; has told me, that she will not be here for much longer. She has also said; that she will visit us before she leaves.”
“Why is she talking to you Timothy; but she is not talking to me and never has done?”
“I have no idea, but she has told me; that I may accompany you to the secret room, but there is a ledger there that I must not read, it is for your eyes only. So now you are equal with me, she is telling you secrets and keeping them from me. It might be best if we do this before this evening’s punishment.”
“If you like Timothy, we can do it now, as we are both resting from our tasks.”
“Why not” He answered and put his shirt on.
It was in the lounge that Nathan said “You had better go about your work Penny, I will see you at evening meal, promise me you will stay away from the punishment room. That man in there is pure evil, but his days of stupidity are over.” The Mistress watched him give her a kiss on the forehead, and she smiled as she walked away.
“You two are good for each other Timothy; you get on so very well together.”
“Yes she is a very nice and caring person, and she seems to know what I want before I ask her. Now, let’s see what the room holds for us.” He then pressed the panel, and they watched; the door opened. The Mistress held back from entering and Nathan smiled, he stepped forward and took hold of her hand, then led the way up the stairs. There was a door at the top, and reaching out he pulled on the handle, with a creak of un-oiled hinges it slowly opened.
The room was lit up by a single sheet of glass; that ran from one end of the room above the shelves of books, and over to the other. It was three feet in width. The only reason that the window could not be seen from outside; was because of the foot high parapet, and that ran all around the roof of the house. There was a desk near the outside wall, so that the light was directly above. There were pictures on the wall, with a large portrait in the centre; there was no doubt that the portrait had been painted in oils. It had Mistress Chrystal in the middle, and she was holding a baby in her arms wrapped in a long shawl. There was a young girl at her side, and there was also no doubt that she was Mistress Donna. The strangest thing was his father was on the Mistress’s right smiling. On her left and behind Mistress Donna was another man but much older, and he too was smiling. The desk was covered in dust, and in the middle was the ledger, and on one side of the ledger were two sealed envelopes. One had Donna Marie, the other Timothy Nathan; there was a third, with Donna and Timothy printed on the front. Nathan looked at the ledger; it was large, two feet long, eighteen inches wide and one and a half inches deep. There was a buckle on its edge keeping it closed, He picked the ledger up then put it back down saying, the ledger is for your eyes only Donna Marie. As that is the case it might be better if leave it where it is, and up here you can read it at your own leisure. He picked up the letter that had his name on it, and tore the end open. He pulled out the paper and unfolded the letter.
Timothy, if you are reading this letter then I know you are home once more. I have very likely been talking to you, and once again you have been carrying out my wishes. I enclose with this letter a bankers note, that when you take it to the bank I have designated, along with your birth certificate, your inheritance will be clear. He looked at the certificate at the parent’s names, mother, Crystal Donna Marie Metcalf, father, Nathan Green, and then his date of birth. He showed the letter to the Mistress. Her certificate was the same but her father was Benjamin Oats.
Mistress Donna picked up the third letter and pulled out its contents, she looked at Nathan saying “I will read this out loud Timothy”
“Dear Children. You are probably wondering why you were separated from each other. Timothy knows why, but he is still remembering the past, and it is enough that you are now back together. Your fathers were more than my slaves, they were my lovers and they both kept me happy for all of my short life. I have but a few days to live, the poison that is in my body will soon kill me, I was born with it, but I have been informed that it cannot be passed on. There is a will in the ledger that is for your eyes only Donna, it has to be passed to you, as by now you are the Mistress of Chrystal house. Timothy knows what is in the ledger, because he has sat quietly and watched my work. The house is in both your names and there is a considerable amount of money for repairs and upkeep of the estate. You own eight thousand acres around the estate between you; the rent has been paid into your bank accounts from the day Timothy was born. I know that the two of you will do the right thing between you.
All my love mother.”
“I must go back down to the punishment room Timothy; we have the rest of our lives to talk about this. I would like you also to start calling me Donna, it is your right, and I will never be your Mistress again.”
Yes well I had better go and put the tools away M....Donna.
That’s better see you after evening meal. They walked down the stairs together leaving the letters on the desk with the ledger.
Down in the basement Don was waiting for her to arrive, the girls have woken him up in preparation. The Mistress walked in front of him, and looked down, she could see the pain in his eyes. “You are a sorry piece of crap aren’t you; I’ll bet my house, that you wish you were a better person. Look where you are now, strapped to a bench, and then three times a day you will be beat. There are no marks on your body, but the pain will be etched into your mind. Now I am going to give you the same as you have had twice today, and only then will you will be fed. Do not try to escape while this is taking place, because the five women that you see in this room; have all dealt with far stronger men than you. Do not speak, or ask questions, because they will not be answered. Your visitor tonight will talk to you, and it will be he that answers your questions. Now, I think we had better get started, as today is running long.”
It was a few seconds after she had walked out of his vision that the pain started, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack. “That is you last punishment from me today, but you will have more of the same tomorrow. Girl’s feed him, toilet and shower, and then put him on the cross for the night, blindfold him until his visitor sees him.”
The Mistress once again walked out of the room.
It was two hours later when Nathan walked into the punishment room with the Mistress. He saw the women standing around watching, and he walked to the wall that was opposite the cross that don was on. It was another panelled wall; he counted the panels from the brick pillar, and touched it with his hand. The wall spun around like a revolving door, and now there was a large mirror showing in place of the panels. Nathan still never said anything until he was in front of Don. “Could we now have his blindfold and gag taken away, he has no further use for either.”
Belle walked over to the back of Don and started carry out his wishes. While this was taking place, Nathan walked over to the women. He took hold of Penny’s hand and walked her over to his sister. “I told you not to come down here while this man is here.” He said in a quiet voice. “Now you are here remain next to the Mistress,” He walked back to Don and looked at him.
“Well if it isn’t the little boy with the little dick; that had a man to do his work for him. I had to make love to your wife, because you were not man enough to do it. It is all around town that you could not satisfy Carman, and just to please you she was always faking it. Wow, I had some of the best sex that I have ever had with your wife. I spent a whole night fucking her in your bed, and she gives the best blow job in the town. What’s up you miserable fart, cat got your tongue? I’ll bet you got your ass beat well while you were here, and I bet you screamed on every stroke. Well as you see I am a man and after a day I can take anything this bitch serves me.” Nathan never tried to intervene or stop him from talking, and the whole room could see that he was in control of his feelings.
“You are here Don because of me, I had you brought here, and it is I that is having you punished. There is not one ounce of good in your soul, and I know that you will come to find that fact out. Before your eyes in the sleeping hours, you will see the rivers of blood run, and it will drip from your soul in this very room. Each tear you cry and each drop of blood will be the evil returning to hell. Then every time you look in a mirror you will see only a death mask over your face. The Mistress is only giving you light punishment, and that is because I asked her to do so. She is only softening the flesh for the blood to flow easy, the real marks that will linger, can only be seen in that mirror of your soul. You have ruined the lives of people that trusted you, and for every bad deed there is a debt to pay. The mirror will be your witness to your punishment, but after you will be a better person for it.”
“My god you do talk a load of crap, you cannot mark me, because I will have the law on you when I leave here. I am already a better person, well; I’m a better person in bed than you.”
Don stopped talking as he saw Nathan kick his shoes off, then he undid his belt and let his trousers fall to the floor. He pulled his shirt over his head and said “Take a look at my body” The oil was making the scars and bruises stand out, and he turned around slowly. Don was now looking at Nathan with his eyes open wide, because the sight of his body was horrendous. “This was after four days, because Carman in her foolishness did not read the contract. She asked for me to be punished hard and three times a day, she wanted to see scars; well she got what she demanded. However I forgive her for her stupidity, but you could never beg me for the same. You step out behind young women in parks, and beat them senseless because you can. You told lies and conspired with a treacherous girl, just to make my name black in the face of Carman. You instigated my punishment here, and my body shows the result of your meddling.”
“Looking at your body, I would think that it all went better than I could ever expect. You are a gutless piece of dog shit, and I know and so do you, that you will not put a mark on my body in case of reprisals from the authorities.”
“You are correct I will never ask for a mark to show on your skin, but I am not in fear of the authorities. There will be marks, and they will be deep, and they will be with you for the rest of your life. You will see them, the evil will have stopped flowing, but the scabs closing the cuts will remain on your flesh, encrusting your body like the bark of an oak tree. You will be punished, and you will be scarred, but as I said you will end up making your own prison. Do you hear what I am asking for Mistress Chrystal?”
“I hear you Timothy his soul is mine, and vengeance will be mine.”
“Thank you.”
The voice was heard by Mistress Donna, and it was then, that the Mistress realised, who he had been talking to, but she could not understand, most of what he had been talking about. Nathan put his clothes back on and said to all in the room “I think we will leave Don to get what little rest he can.” He walked over to Donna and Penny and slipping his arm through Penny’s arm he led her towards the exit. As he walked past the mirror, he stopped and looked a Don “Keep looking at the mirror Don, and you will see your fate arrive, now that you show no remorse for your crimes, I cannot stop what has been started.”
Once outside in the hall Nathan looked at Donna saying “You must read the books for your own sanity. Mother will harm no one in the house, but revenge for my pain I will have.”
The voice in their heads spoke once again, “Vengeance is mine, Timothy.”
