Shattered Memory

By Bekka Mouri

Hermaeus pushed Bekka into a sitting position, her body still shaking from the abuse she had been subjected to. If she had not been weakened by the harem entrance tests, she would not be shaking this bad. He threw the sheet off of her and retied her hospital gown before swinging her legs out of the bed. He forced her to her feet roughly.

~Oh gods! What are you doing?~ She telepathed to him. An unholy chuckle echoed in her mind as he moved her towards the window and pushed it open. She couldn’t move her body at all, just like when the bounty hunter violated her. ~I thought you were gone!~

~No I’m not, my sweet darling, not yet. I decided that I would be better off with you out of my hair. How can I trust that you will keep quiet about me?~

~If I don’t, you can marry me and I’ll be happy to mother your children! I swear I won’t fight you!~ Bekka pleaded as he lifted her onto the windowsill.

~Do you think I am going to kill you?~ Hermaeus let her teeter back and forth, teasing her with the fall that awaited her. If she were lucky, she would survive it but be badly injured. She was sure Hermaeus would make sure she wouldn’t survive.

~That is what it looks like,~ Bekka whispered, fear seizing her soul.

Hermaeus chuckled again, ~My silly little one, I do not want to kill you. I want to make you forget about me.~

~Isn’t there another way?~ She choked out.

There was a long silence for Hermaeus as he slowly stopped her swaying. He held her there for a few moments. Bekka thought that he would change his mind and just do a magical memory wipe on her. ~No!~ He said quickly, pushing her out of the window.

Bekka shut her eyes but they opened when her body hit the ground. She could feel every bone in her body break as pain assailed her senses. She didn’t even have time to scream before everything went black.

The nurse poked her head into Bekka’s room. It was empty and the window was open, the curtains fluttering in the breeze. “ Miss Bekka? “ She looked around the room. “ You’re still too weak to be out of bed… Where are you? “

She looked all over the room before going to the window to shut it. She looked out and something caught her eye. She screamed as she realized what it was. “ Doctor Sarah! “ She shouted, running out the door.

A chill had settled over the harem. The news of Bekka’s jump had been brought to them after she had been stabilized; she was going to live thanks to some really fancy work on Sarah’s part. Everyone wanted to rip Mehrunes to shreds but they couldn’t. Gina didn’t want anyone touching him until she had her turn with him. However, they were all sure there would be nothing left once Lotor got his hands on Bekka’s former owner when he found out about this latest development.

Jetstorm stood guard by the room Mehrunes was being held in. He was still tied up from the night before. Inside, Maeve and Trieze watched over him to make sure he didn’t try anything stupid. Maeve had to restrain Trieze when the news had reached them.

“ Trieze! You can’t! As much as we want to tear him limb from limb! Gina said that she was going to punish him! “ Maeve had his arms pinned behind him and struggled to hold him back.

Mehrunes was on the bed, sleeping. Thanks to the handy little syringes each room was equipped with in case of a Zarkon infiltration, he had not been awake since being brought in from the garden. His face had dried blood on it as well as this knuckles. He was not going to be cleaned until Gina was ready to punish him for causing so much trouble.

“ I don’t care! None of this would have happened if he hadn’t come here! “ Trieze pulled, trying to free his arms.

“ He will get his! We promised to do nothing to him once he was inside! “

Trieze relaxed and hung his head, “ That we did. I should have shot him when I had the chance. “

“ You still would have made Gina very angry and Lotor would have kicked you out, that is certain, “ Maeve pressed her face into his firm back. She could sense the tenseness of his muscles. “ You are so tense. “

“ Yes, I am. I want to spill this poor excuse of a man’s blood. He deserves to be tortured slowly for every little bit of pain he has ever caused anyone. I am quite certain that he has been responsible for more than Bekka’s pain. “

“ But we can’t do anything, Trieze. We will be punished if we disobey Gina and she will make sure it is not pleasurable punishment. “

Trieze turned to face Maeve. He stroked her cheek with the backs of his fingers, “ I know. Do you think the prince will let me help punish him? “

Maeve kissed his fingers as they brushed her lips, “ You’ll have to ask him, “ She whispered, looking into his eyes.

Trieze lowered his lips to her, pausing. “ What if he wakes up? “

Maeve pointed to the half dozen syringes she had collected to keep Mehrunes under control. “ I’ll just stick him again. “

“ I guess we don’t have anything to worry about then, “ Trieze kissed her lightly and grinned, “ Speaking of sticking someone… “

Sarah stood next to Bekka’s bed. The poor girl had been put in a whole body cast because there was not an unbroken bone in her body. Sarah was rather surprised because a fall like that could have killed a normal person. She was quickly realizing that this young woman was nowhere near any definition of the word.

She looked up from the chart when she heard a low groan. Bekka’s eyes were open but very clouded, probably from all the pain medication she had been put on. They moved and tried to focus on Sarah. “ Who… are… you? “ She whispered, her eyes moving slowly from side to side as she studied the room, “ Where… am… I? “

“ I am Sarah. You’re in the hospital. “

“ Hospital? How? “ Bekka blinked slowly.

~Oh no! She doesn’t remember! She must have been so traumatized by the fall, she can’t recall anything.~ Sarah clutched Bekka’s chart to her chest, “ Why don’t you rest and we will discuss that later, alright? “

“ Okay. Could you get me something for this pain? I really hurt. “

Sarah nodded, “ That is understandable. I will be back in a few moments. “

“ Thank you, “ Bekka whispered, shutting her eyes as Sarah walked towards the door. “ Could you tell me one more thing, Sarah? “

“ What’s that? “ Sarah turned to face her.

“ What’s my name? “

Molag watched as Tamy took care of Clavicus’ wound. The giant Drule was very angry about what Mehrunes had done. He wanted to kill his former master but that seemed to be the general feeling that permeated the whole harem. In just a short time, a large number of people wanted to spill Mehrunes’ blood.

“ Are you alright, brother? “ Clavicus asked, wincing as Tamy applied some antiseptic.

“ I am still scared that witch will come after me. The things she subjected me to… I shiver just to think about it. “

Tamy chuckled, “ As long as you are here, you will be safe from my aunt Hagger. Besides, I think she’s been busy with Mum-ra so you won’t have to worry about much. “

“ I hope you are right, Tamy. “

Mehrunes slowly opened his eyes. He felt like he was buried beneath a mountain of dirt. He tried to move and found himself bound. ~Oh, that’s right… I have been captured…~ His train of thought was interrupted by the sounds of a woman groaning. ~What in all of Doom?~

“ Trieze! Oh Trieze! “

“ Maeve… Oh Maeve! “

“ Trrrrrrriiiiiieeeeezzzzeeee! “ The woman moaned loudly, letting Mehrunes know his guards were… occupied. He tried to wriggle around on the bed a bit to find an escape. He stopped when the pretty blonde he had stalked the night before was in his face. Her hair was tousled and her pupils were still very dilated.

“ Naughty naughty! “ She smiled wickedly as she reached for something on the bedside table. Mehrunes’ eyes grew wide at the sight of a hypodermic needle. The woman removed the cap and sighed, “ Too bad this all I can do to you. “

Mehrunes went to scream but found that he was gagged as well as bound. He whimpered as the woman jammed the needle into the flesh of his rear. It burned as she injected the fluid from the syringe into him. When it was all gone, she extracted the needle slowly and tossed it in a needle disposal bin.

“ There. That should keep you quiet until Gina is ready for you, “ The woman grinned wickedly, “ Now, I can go back to what I was doing. “

“ I wanted to inject him this time, Maeve! “ A male voice said. The man was obviously on the floor.

“ You can do that next time… but you can inject me now! “ The woman laughed seductively.

The world around Mehrunes went completely dark as the room again filled with the sounds of pleasure.
