Next up, more of tentacles.
The warriors waited to see what the nymph had planned for them. The vines slowly tightened. Suddenly, the fibers began to knit together forming a close resemblance to the clothes they'd been wearing upon entering the forest. When the transformation was complete, Heero even discovered the talisman once more around his throat. The cobalt-eyed man tried to move but found his limbs still locked in immobility.
"No," a familiar voice drew his attention across the clearing. The blond creature stood over Duo, both now wearing clothing. "You will not be able to move unless I want you to. After all, I still don't know that we can trust you."
Three sets of eyes widened at the sudden intelligence being exhibited by the fairy. It laughed, a clear, gentle sound, at their expressions.
"Who is 'we'?" Trowa asked. "And why have you changed?"
"We is Duo and I." The creature moved to kneel next to the unconscious youth he spoke of. "Long ago, my people promised to help his if they were ever attacked, but when Dermail destroyed them, we failed to keep our word. So that bastard wiped out the only ones who may have stood a chance to stop him. Then he destroyed my people. We were helpless against the elves magic. The irony is not lost on me. Had we kept our word, none of this would have happened. As it is, Duo and I are the last of two very old races. Do you have any idea what that is like?"
When the three men did not answer, he continued. "As for the change. Most people take others at face value. Appear to be stupid or simple and they tend to underestimate you. It comes in handy. Until I know more about visitors, pretending to be dumb comes in handy. I have done my best to keep strangers from invading what is left of my home. It doesn't seem to be my fate to reside here any longer though."
"What do you mean?" Wufei wanted to know.
"Duo has been hurt enough. It is time to make Dermail pay. However, the man will definitely send far more men here to find you, therefore you must leave. I don't have time to figure out how to disable the talisman right now, so it looks as if I will be traveling with you."
"No." Heero said, finality in his tone. He wasn't sure they could afford to have the talisman deactivated. Duo could be a powerful weapon to defend Relena's kingdom.
"Really?" The blond smiled cruelly and their clothes tightened so much the captives couldn't draw breath. "I don't need you, Heero. Any of you. I can just take Duo and hide deep in the forest. I'm sure your desiccated bodies would discourage most pursuit. The only reason I am allowing you to complete your mission is because Duo feels something for you lot."
The clothes loosened. "Do we have an understanding?"
Trowa and Wufei looked to Heero. The man looked furious, but knew there was little choice at this time. Sooner or later the nymph would make a mistake, then its death would be assured.
"Fine." He growled finally. "We'll let Queen Relena decide your fate."
With incredible grace, the blond rose from beside Duo and walked over to its captives. The little nymph ran a hand slowly down Heero's cheek.
"Do you really think I will trust you?" A soft laughed came from its lips. "When you were being healed, I looked into your minds. Feelings are secondary to the mission objectives. The minute my back is turned, my throat gets cut. Sorry lovely young fighters, but a debt of honor must be paid, so your cooperation must be assured."
Even before the impact of the sentence could sink in, the young men felt something begin working its way inside their bodies. Almost as one, they fell to their knees as whatever it was began to caress the nerve center deep inside them. Pleasure beyond bearing started to overwhelm the fighters.
"Not again." Wufei groaned.
"Please, no more." Trowa gasped.
Heero didn't waste words, he merely struggled to break the iron grip of the clothes controlling him. All the fighting and pleading was for nothing. In moments, the fighters were on their hands and knees, heads bowed, panting, rocking gently in time with the thrusts of the vine invader.
"I am in charge here, mortals." The nymph proclaimed. "You may still lead, Heero, but you will make no decisions about Duo. If you dare try to defy me, I will leave you like this for days. Stuck in agonizing pleasure. Unable to find release. Writhing as your plant lover keeps you at the edge until you pass out and when you awake, does it all over again. Harm either myself or Duo and the vines will tear you apart from the inside out."
Now the trembling of the warriors wasn't entirely due to the vines. The idea of being used like this for days terrified them.
"At no time will you be free of me. Understand this?"
All three nodded desperately.
"From this point on, you will call me Quatre. No mention of this incident shall be made to anyone. Duo will be treated with respect and deference. Break any of these rules and you will regret it. Deeply."
For over an hour, Quatre kept them at the edge of orgasm, but did not allow them release. When he sensed they could take nothing further, they climaxed. Dispassionate blue eyes viewed their collapse. It had been decades since he'd last left these woods. Perhaps fate was giving him another chance. This time, nothing would stop him. Nothing.
End Part 7
Scary, ne? What is Quatre up to? Will Heero help or hinder Duo's freedom? What will Queen Relena think of all this?
