CHAPTER ONE
When you're a 6'3 woman, you sometimes make errors in judgement because of your size and how you've become accustomed to people seeing and treating you.
It'd been a miserable day at work, month-end reports needing to be finalized and then vetted according to company policy.
Trying to do a week's worth of work in a day.
Throw in a skipped lunch, and un-paid overtime, you end up too tired to think.
You don't pay attention to your surroundings.
You don't think about being careful.
I'd just put the key into the lock to open my car because the remote wasn't working, and then out of nowhere hands were on me.
Strong hands, that grabbed hold and held them while I was pressed hard against the side of my car. I was too stunned from exhaustion and shock to cry out immediately, and felt the collar of my coat grabbed, jerked brutally down and something pressed hard against the base of my neck and beside my spine. A leather-gloved hand came up and covered my mouth as what felt like a sustained lightning-strike went through me.
My throat locked, everything in my body locked-up, hot-flashing agony everywhere and every muscle was rigid as steel cable. I couldn't even breathe.
I thought of piano-strings quivering...
When my brain came back to being useful, I couldn't figure out what had happened and my whole body hurt, especially the spot at the base of my neck where something horrible had been done to me. My entire body, everywhere felt like it' all been through a single immense cramp.
I was laying face down on the cold concrete with my arms folded under me with kept my large breasts from being really squashed by my weight into the cold hardness, smelling dust and exhaust traces. I turned my head to try to see who and what was going on, adrenaline starting to rise.
Men, big and dressed all in non-descript clothing you could find anywhere. Jeans, workboots, sweaters, cheap-looking leather jackets...nothing that stood out and ski-masks over their faces.
One crouched down beside me with something he held between his hands, and it took an instant for me to recognize it...
A ball-gag.
I started trying to get up, fight back, hoping blindly in panic to get away...and got a knee pressed into the small of my back and a hand over my mouth as I tried to get my arms out from underneath me.
..and couldn't.
I struggled and could feel something like a band tight around me at midway down my upper arms, keeping me from moving them outward and a similar feeling around my wrists.
Tight.
I kept struggling, in a real panic now and feeling a band around my ankles and thighs, as the gag was slip-forced into my mouth just as the hand was moved, feeling it go in deep, then even deeper as the strap was tightened around my head. I tried screaming as loud as I could, and even to my ears I could tell the gag was too effective for me to get much noise past.
Belatedly I thought I'd missed the chance to bite the hand that'd been covering my mouth, make the owner yell for me...then realized that the gloves meant no fingerprints and they were expecting to be bitten-at.
They hauled me to my feet, and I realized they'd taken my shoes as my feet met cold concrete through the material of my stockings. I saw a waiting van, greyish-white, with it's side-door open and more men inside, feeling my heart start to really hammer as I was turned and dragged towards it backwards, keeping me from being able to brace my legs despite my best, panicked efforts.
I was furious, terrified and gave in to the adrenaline to make it as hard as I possibly could for them to take me, screaming as powerfully as I could through the gag filling my mouth.
In abduction stories, the victim always mentions the 'taste' of the gag...all I could taste was that sickening 'brass' taste of genuine fear I'd experienced once in a corner-store robbery.
The men never said a word, which I found frightening as I realized that it meant they'd done this before.
They had no trouble handling me, and from a couple of nasty-sounding chuckles I could tell they were enjoying this!!
Inside the van, a curtain separated the back from the driver's area, no back windows, and heavy cargo-padding on the walls. There was a section of thick foam on the floor they dumped me on, face-down, and held me at my legs and shoulders as I kept trying to fight.
I wasn't sure how many of them there were, but more than I knew I had a chance against. As the van started to move, which flooded me with even more panic as it meant things so frightening and immense in implication that my mind stalled, they started speaking.
One was going through my purse, found my cellphone, and tossed it to another. I heard it being disassembled. "No tracking this now." He said.
Another was making a call, speaking to someone about my car and collecting it, I heard the words; 'chop-shop' and like anyone knew they'd make it vanish.
Like me.
Another spoke up.
"Boss, knock her out?" He rasped, sounding like he'd been punched in the throat.
"Nah, let her fight, she'll wear herself out. I hate the way that knockout shit smells, open the bottle and it's everywhere, gives me a fuckin' headache." The one going through my purse said. He sounded like the type to knock you through a wall if you stood up to him, no-nonsense, brutal.
"Got her phone cracked...nothing on her schedule we need to worry about for a week, easy." One of them said, one I couldn't see down by my feet.
"Damn, she's big...I love tall women." One said above me, the one holding me down by my shoulders. The leering tone in his voice made me very glad that the 'boss' didn't sound like the type to let his guys 'play' with captives.
"Let's see...Marlene Collins, six-three...blood type..." The Boss said, looking over my Driver's License and some other personal papers.
Hmmm...no pills aside from Midol, one rubber...ribbed. Well, aren't we the clean-living bitch." He said half-addressing me.
I snarled something that I hoped would translate through the rubber ball filling my mouth, glaring at him.
"Nice attitude, bitch. Where you're going that'll get fixed for sure." The Boss said, and I could hear the smirk in his voice.
I don't know how long we drove for, but it felt like an eternity, and finally after a jouncing trip down what I presumed was some kind of road, the van came to a lurching stop.
I got a solid slap on my rear, along with;
"Wake up, we're not gonna carry you more'n we have to." From one who hadn't said anything yet.
The door was opened and I was hauled out unceremoniously, set on my feet, and dragged towards a large prefab industrial steel building. I looked down, I was secured with duct tape in a manner that said my captors knew very well what they were doing. I could squirm, but that was all. My jacket and coat were gone, I was left in blouse, skirt and stockings.
At the door, the Boss tapped in a code into a keypad, a light went out and the door started sliding upwards. I tried, reflexively, to step back but with the duct tape binding my legs and the two men holding my arms it was enough that I didn't fall over.
I looked around, but aside from the van, a short road between building and a gate set into a chain link, barbed-wire-topped fence that extended off into the darkness there wasn't anything else to see.
No sound of traffic.
One of the men started working at my gag.
"Leave it, last thing I wanna hear is her yowling while I'm trying to do business."
The Boss said.
They started taking me inside, and I started fighting, being dragged along with minimal difficulty by them as I tried everything I could think of to get free. Adrenaline spiked my system again, and I screamed through the gag, over and over, thrashing like a madwoman. I caught sight of the building interior, and it looked like an auction space with a small stage, rows of chairs, a podium on the stage and lots of open side-space.
I started thinking about the tales of modern-day white slavery and began to wonder...and fight even harder, feeling a sharp strain in my shoulder joint as I desperately tried to yank my arm free of my bindings.
The Boss, maybe having had enough, turned and grabbed my jaw hard enough to hurt--holding a taser close enough for me to smell the plastic it was made of.
"stop it, or I'll stop you." He said, triggering the horrid little weapon so I could smell the ozone an hear the crackle of angry power looking for a ground.
I felt my eyes go wide as he jerked my blouse out of m skirt and pressed it to my lower belly, looking me in the eyes.
I made a sound of agreement, nodding assent, not wanting another experience with it, remembering the way it'd been used earlier to stun me nearly unconscious.
"Good." he said with a nasty satisfaction, and turned away, then we continued on.
I was taken behind a curtain on the back of the small stage at the far end from the door, and into an elevator designed plainly for cargo.
The sliding gate was brought down and we soon started descending while my heart hammered against my ribs and I felt like I wasn't able to get enough air.
After some minutes, and my ears popping, I realized we were far down. Shortly after my ears popped the ride ended and one of my captors opened the gates revealing a plain, white hospital-type corridor. with a barricade and a door set into it.
Ten feet in and we were at the barricade, a small intercom set by the door and a large button the Boss pushed.
I noticed security cameras had been tracking us since we left the elevator and looked through the wire-reinforced security glass panels set into the barricade's steel frame.
Another stretch of corridor, doors, and a person in a white one piece came into view from a side passage as I watched.
It was a small, but stoutly-built woman in her middle age, humorless face, light brown hair cut short in a straightforward 'efficiency' style. No name tag, but she wore a stethoscope and a small device clipped into a breast pocket.
She opened the door, and it closed behind her.
"Well, let's see what we have here..." She said to my captors, setting up her stethoscope and listening to my heart, then my lungs. She looked me over like a trained professional, felt the glandular areas of my neck, used the small penlight from her pocket to have a look at my eyes. She lifted my loose blouse-front and felt my belly, getting some complaints from me that she ignored.
The Boss handed her my ID and a bunch of other personal papers I'd had with me and from inside my car.
She looked over some papers I'd gotten from my most recent checkup, then tapped the page.
"Ah, yes...excellent. Thank-you for being so quick about acquisition." She said to the men, leaving me to wonder about what she knew about me and why the test results from my Dr. mattered...then it clicked.
My Dr. was acting as some kind of 'spotter' for whoever the people were.
"She seems pretty docile, did she give you any trouble??" The woman asked.
"A good bit, yeah. Told her to shut-it upstairs, told her I'd tase that soft belly." the Boss said, chuckling.
The woman nodded, looking me over, plainly considering something.
She moved to the intercom, pressed a control and spoke crisply into it, issuing a single order.
" Five handlers."
I tried to ask; 'What does that mean?', which was utterly stifled by the gag--but I didn't like the sound of 'handlers'.
In less than a minute, five large men came through the door dressed in the same kind of uniform-one piece the woman wore. I was taller than any of them, but they were all built like Kodiak bears. They stepped in, taking hold of my arms and wrists. One on either side, three behind along with the woman and started taking me through the door.
CHAPTER TWO
By the time I snapped out of it, the sense of surreality, and started fighting the handlers--it was too late. They had me through the door and it had closed with a solid, heavy-sounding 'click-thunk' of a serious lock.
One of the others came up, grabbed my legs and they carried me, thrashing and screaming into the gag, down the corridor and around a smooth-walled corner into another. I saw a duty-station as we passed it, then down to a room with a door that one of the handlers opened and they took me inside.
Plain white walls, non-slip floor, cabinets along the walls and an examination table in the middle of the space, with open and waiting restraints.
They forced me down and surrounded me, holding me and the woman used medical scissors to cut away the tape binding me.
Despite my best, most desperate efforts and thrashing at them, they got me secured with a sickening ease. My arms secured so my hands were level with my head, heavy padded restraint cuffs at wrists and upper arms. My legs were cut free, and my ankles quickly locked snugly into the restraints waiting for them.
They kept hold of me, minimizing my struggles as the woman came near my face after lowering the table slightly.
They all seemed to know what they were doing from habit, not needing to say anything to each other.
My head was grabbed, held still, and the woman slipped a red, flat plastic thing in beside the ball gag then turned it so it was solidly between my molars. She cut the strap holding the ball gag in my mouth, removed it, then brought something 'U' shaped up that looked like a very heavy, thick mouthguard with a short, wide cylinder sticking out from the outside-bottom curve.
She brought it to my mouth, and the stick kept me from closing my teeth, the handler kept me from moving my head despite my efforts to avoid what I could tell was coming.
The woman deftly forced the thing into my mouth, between my teeth over my loudest complaints.
Firm-soft, mouth-filling rubbery material. I could breathe through the tube-projection, and tried to get it out of my mouth with my tongue--quickly learning that some part of it trapped my tongue down. I could swallow, but that was all.
She brought a round-cornered foam-padded square with straps up, and the breathing tube went through a hole in it as she pressed it firmly down over my mouth. The handler lifted and held my head as she fastened the straps snug behind it, oddly taking care to keep my hair free, accomplishing the task easily despite my uncooperative squirming.
That done, she made a slight dismissive motion with her hand, and my head was released, the other handlers let go as well but stayed around the table I was secured to.
She picked up a clipboard from under the table, took a short pen from her pocket, and started making notations while speaking to me.
"Marlene, this is the reality of your new life. We own you now, and based on everything we have in our files you're going to be a very busy girl." I made my feelings clear by glaring at her with every bit of hatred and anger I had, and trying to make appropriate-sounding noises through the 'gag'.
The woman smiled down at me, tapped my nose with the pen lightly, making me blink and snort in reflex.
"Spirited, good. Now, according to what we have on file, you're lactating, and heavily....hmmm. I'm guessing about now you're probably starting to get pretty engorged, don't worry."
She made some notes on the clipboard, then continued.
"As I was saying, you can cooperate and make it much easier on yourself...or you can fight us for as long as your will to resist holds out. You can't escape. Even if you got outside, you have no idea where you are and there's no way you'll survive long enough to get to civilization. We know what we're doing here, you're not the first Mare I've dealt with, and you won't be the last."
She stopped, put the clipboard down and opened my blouse, despite my angry squirming and struggles at being undressed.
"Oh dear, well we can't have that." She said and then spoke to one of the handlers.
"Get a dairy technician in here, stat." The man nodded then left, and I looked down to see the front of my bra cups suffering soak-through. Then things caught up to me and the pain signals my breasts were sending cut through the rest of everything else cluttering my mind.
I groaned, arching my back as my nervous system took-up the long-ignored warnings. My breasts felt like there were balls of needles in them and an intolerable pressure just behind my nipples, too big for them to pass.
I whimpered in sudden pain, tears started from my eyes and I writhed in the restraints, helpless to do anything for myself to ease the pain of my milk-engorged breasts.
I had my eyes crushed closed as a wave of pain swept through them, biting and sobbing into the gag filling and covering my mouth, feeling a hand stroking my hair gently.
"There, there...it's alright, not much longer, just hold on, help's coming." The woman was saying, showing completely unexpected and un-looked for empathy.
I found myself nodding helplessly, the pain wasn't overwhelmingly terrible by itself, but it reminded me of my husband, the relationship we had that formed something so special in our marriage.
I suddenly missed him with a feeling like something was being torn loose out of me. I'd induced my milk for him, to show him my unconditional and overarching love. He'd accepted it, and given it back in dedication to keeping my breasts from becoming engorged or my ever feeling neglected.
I wanted to die at the thought of losing him, my marriage, and my life that I'd had.
In what seemed an agony-filled eternity later, I'd been half-released from the restraints, sat up, while the handlers held my arms crossed and immobile behind me, one with his arm around my neck loosely but able to tighten into a controlling hold instantly.
Another woman, taller and slightly younger, had come in and opened my bra cups with sympathetic 'tsk'-ing sounds.
She'd used warm, absorbent pads on my nipples and lightly trailed her fingers under my breasts and up towards my nipples, provoking a painful but nonetheless relieving let-down.
When the let-down surge had faded, she'd applied breast pumps to both nipples, connected to a primary machine.
I looked myself over, not really being able to avoid doing so.
I looked like a wreck. My skirt was stained, dust-dirty, hiked up far enough to show my panties and that I wore a garter belt. My stockings worn, running and torn. My blouse had seen better days, and although fully open and hanging off to the sides of my bust, it was pretty plain that even a top-line dry-cleaner couldn't save it. My hair felt about what I expected to see if I'd had a mirror handy.
I was tired, hungry, thirsty, angry, heartbroken, sore in half a dozen places aside from my breasts and plain miserable. The additional fact that I'd been hooked up by a complete stranger to a breast-pump annoyed me even more, it felt like a straightforward violation of my choice without even so much as a by-your-leave, or even a recognition my will regarding it was being ignored.
It was pretty clear that no one here--wherever 'here' was--gave a ghost-faint damn about my choices and desires. The wide canvas belt secured tight around the table that the restraint cuffs holding my legs were attached to was ample proof of that. Heavy tan leather with a soft cream-colored padding, a belt-like stiff leather tongue through solid-looking narrow rectangular metal hasps holding them securely closed.
They looked like they could hold a grizzly bear, and I knew they'd hold me until my captors removed them.
Too thoroughly miserable to even cry, I just sat there staring straight ahead, letting the strange woman--the 'Dairy Technician'--minister to me without causing a fuss.
There was no point, it wouldn't even make me feel better.
So lost in the depths of a black inconsolably-deep hell of depression I didn't notice the needle until it punctured my shoulder with a sharp sting just after the breast-pump's cups were removed from me.
I whipped my head around, seeing the shorter woman holding the hypodermic, and smoothly depressing the plunger, feeling the handlers tighten their grips against any struggling I made. She finished injecting me, jerked the needle smoothly out of my shoulder and fixed me with her eyes. I heard myself make a questioning sound, then 'down' suddenly became 'sideways' and blackness like a hammer blow fell.
CHAPTER THREE
When things began to come back, it took a while for it all to make sense. Nothing wanted to work or respond correctly--like being really drunk, but not intoxicated.
The side-spill of whatever they'd shot me up with kept me from panicking, or even much of an adrenalin-rise beyond a slight 'lift'.
The world was blurry, and I immediately realized my glasses were gone, and as memory came back, I stopped thinking about where they were.
Then, things snapped-back...mostly. I looked around at blurred whiteness, realizing I was laying on something like a 'mattress-floor', which made no sense.
I closed my eyes again, waiting for my system to finish getting over whatever it was they'd screwed me over with, and after a time where I think I dozed-off again, I gave exploring another try.
Better response from my body, but eyesight was still blurred. I tried to get up, stumbled over myself and hit the soft mattress-like floor solidly. My arms weren't working, and neither were my legs...
I rolled onto my back, getting mostly there until my legs got in my way, feeling myself wearing something snug around my entire body from neck to crotch, and something was foiling my legs.
I looked myself over, and despite the high-tech appearance, it was a straitjacket, and a wide padded black nylon belt around my waist served to anchor the padded restraint cuffs on my ankles, keeping my legs bent just enough to make kicking or standing entirely useless.
My mouth was still full, and I remembered the mouthguard-like gag.
Not a dream.
Not a nightmare.
My temper exploded as I started trying to be methodical and detached in testing my restraints.
The straitjacket was lightweight, made of something like nylon in a windbreaker, but thicker, with cuffs built-in at wrists and upper arms. It fit closely, snug through the crotch and around my shoulders, waist. I could feel a heavy 'line' down my back, and it seemed 'smooth' as I couldn't feel or hear any traces of buckles scraping on the flooring. The tether-belts from the waist belt were black web-nylon and the cuffs heavy padded leather.
My temper crept up, and ambushed me, exploding in a rage a rabid lioness would be able to appreciate.
I thrashed, kicked, screamed and bit into the gag, scrubbing my face on the padded floor trying to dislodge it. I discovered there was a tether between my upper arm cuffs in front, that would keep me from being able to pull at the sleeves with any real force--and the clear determination that showed to frustrate me sent me off into an even hotter rage. I lost it, going completely incoherent with fury and hatred, pushed my muscles to the limits of small tearing sensations in trying desperately to get loose!!
After a while, shorter than I'd have liked, I wore myself out. I laid on my side, tears running from my eyes as I tried to keep silent, the occasional sob escaping audibly. I guessed that the walls were padded also, it seemed to make sense.
They wanted me, and wouldn't likely let me have anything convenient to hurt or kill myself with.
I'd been called a 'Mare'...and that left a hollow and unpleasant feeling down deep.
It occurred to me then that I'd been handled not like a person or a patient...but like a possession, property, an animal.
That gave me pause to wonder what kind of people these were, what kind of place had I been brought to?
...what was going to happen to me?
The woman who'd 'admitted' me had made it very clear that what was happening to me was normal around this place--just another day, just another woman stolen from her life and involuntarily committed to...
What??
What were they going to do to me??
I kept coming back to that question, and didn't like any of the thoughts running through my head.
Something that one of the van-men had said...but I couldn't quite catch hold of it in my memory.
I took some desperate reassurance in the fact that they hadn't treated me like something 'disposable'...but instead had made an effort in keeping me unharmed, even from the slightest bruising.
Then that reassurance turned on itself and became a dread...as it implied they wanted me in perfect condition, and for whatever possibility it didn't seem good.
More time passed, and a door opened. A female figure and five definitively male figures entered, all dressed in the same white uniform I was learning to expect seeing. My vision was blurry enough that until they got closer I couldn't make out facial details clearly.
The woman was easily my own height, but much heavier muscled and broader, looking built more like a man but still genuinely feminine. The men themselves were big, sleekly-muscled, and moved like athletes. All-business.
They surrounded me as I tried to keep them all in view, squirming in my restraints reflexively, trying to get away from them. Two men knelt down, and pinned me by my shoulders to the floor on my back, two more held my legs.
I was left helplessly glaring angrily up at the woman and the remaining male 'handler' standing beside her, my heart pounding in mixed apprehension and sheer hatred, as she smiled down at me.
"Hello, Marlene. I'd ask how you're doing today, but I can see quite clearly with my own eyes how you are on the security recordings. You don't know how long you've been here, do you? You're not supposed to, not for the first stretch, we can't have our Mares knowing more than they're supposed to. I'm here to answer the more predictable questions rattling around inside your head, and ensure that the answers you most want do not get revealed." She consulted a small notepad-sized dataslate for a minute, raising her eyebrows in mild surprise, then continued on in a cheerful manner of speaking to me that made me want to strangle her.
"You're one of the most energetically-resistant Mares we've had lately, I'm impressed!! You can be assured you'll be very well treated, managed and controlled here. You'll have the absolute best medical and health care imaginable, and you'll have absolutely minimal freedom. We protect our property here, even from itself.
Now, you're probably feeling angry, de-Humanized, and generally pretty upset.
These will pass, as you'll see...and you'll have plenty of help in coming to terms with, and accepting your new place." She tapped the screen of the device she held, consulting information I could only guess at.
"Hmmm, 'Extended Acclimatization Period' ordered...sorry to tell you this, but you'd better get used to being in those restraints. Until the acclimatization Period is assessed as complete, you cannot be downgraded to even basic self-mobility. It's actually up to you, really. Once you begin to accept things and stop stage-one resistance, you'll be downgraded. Now, I know what you're thinking, and there's no lying or playing-possum. There's a soft collar around your neck with some very sophisticated monitoring devices in it. When your brainwave patterns and EEG shows you've ceased stage-one, we'll know. In the meantime, go ahead and get it out of your system. Every new Mare has to be broken, and it's completely safe here for you, so thrash around as much as you like. There'll be regular visits from myself and other staff to ensure you're safe, healthy and uninjured--and we are keeping you on the pump every three hours. Don't concern yourself needlessly about your breasts engorging, that doesn't happen here...you'll be very well cared for."
I guess days passed, and they knocked me out regularly, coming in and holding me on my back, forcing something into my system using a nasal spray. Quick, painless, and whatever it was usually took me out in seconds.
It allowed them to care for me, as I was completely helpless physically, and also messed up my time-sense, not even really allowing me to track the passage of time by pumping sessions.
I could only guess at how many days were slipping away.
One time, I woke up, alone as usual, and when I tried moving immediately became aware of something inside me, in my vagina. Large enough to be unignorable and uncomfortable but not painful, it sent a fresh wave of anger through me.
I didn't care what it was, I wanted it out!!
Looking myself over after a failed and prolonged attempt at forcing it out using my muscles, I realized it was in to stay. I could see a web of straps around my hips,converging down to my crotch.
Whatever it was, they weren't going to allow it's expulsion, and I drove my teeth deep into the 'muzzle' as I could, the only real outlet I had for the galling frustration I felt.
I tried yelling and screaming through the air passage in the muzzle, wondering if I could provoke any actions. The infuriating frustration of the restraints and the imposition of whatever was nestled inside me lended a great deal of true impetus to my efforts.
In what seemed to me a pretty short time, the door opened, I was surrounded and pinned.
A different woman this time, slender, sleek-looking, with a perfectly vicious mouth and cruel eyes.
"That'll be enough, Marlene. Now, what's got you in such a tizzy?" She asked then crouched down to have a closer look at me.
She checked my restraints, felt my breasts through the front of the straitjacket's material, held my chin firmly to look at my eyes.
"Hmm...let's see..." She said, and started using a cellphone-sized device, and whatever it showed her put an amused smile on her face.
"Well, well...coming into heat, are we??"
I made my feelings about what she'd just said very clear through my muzzle., twisting angrily against the hold the handlers had on me.
This got a chuckle from her.
"Frustrated? Poor girl...well, you'll just have to be patient and work it off, you're not scheduled yet."
I yelled angrily, really pissed-off now, through the muzzle--fighting and thrashing against the handlers.
"Marlene, you're going to be a handful and then some, aren't you? No matter, there's always room for a spirited young Mare...with appropriate controls on her, of course."
She playfully tapped my nose, making me reflexively shake and toss my head at the unwanted contact.
"Yes, Marlene, controls...can't have you running wild can we? No, of course not. You understand, don't you?" She asked rhetorically while I glared at her, blinking hair from my eyes, snorting and making angrily inarticulate sounds through the muzzle, trying to make it clear what I thought of her, her parentage, and what she could do with herself.
She smiled, and I hated her for it as she started stroking my hair, moving it from my eyes.
"I can imagine what you must want to be able to say to me, but that guard has to say in. Harsh words and screaming fits don't hurt a thing, but we can't have you trying to bite staff, and judging from what I've seen in the past and what I'm seeing right now, I'd have to bet you're the kind of Mare to bite, and bite deep."
I snarled through the 'guard' as she'd called it and tried turning my face away, only to have my jaw clamped firmly by fingers like steel.
"You're going to learn one way or another, sooner or later, who's in control Marlene--and it isn't you. Your life isn't yours any longer, and hasn't been since our contractors picked you up. We can do whatever we like to you, whenever we like...and have. That uncomfortable sensation in your coochie? Where do you think that came from? The restraints...how much has your struggling helped you? Zip, exactly zip-nada. You're producing a great deal of milk, girl, and who do you think is making sure you're kept comfortable? That's right, all those facts of life and many more aren't yours to concern yourself with. In time you'll realize this because of the ultimate truth, and do you know what that is?" She squeezed on my jawbone, making me hurt and cry into the guard-muzzle.
"The mind adapts. Whether you want it to or not, it adapts. It's a survival trait from evolution. All we have to do is wait, apply the right stimuli or corrections and controls, and soon enough you belong to us--completely."
CHAPTER FOUR
The next time I saw the cruel-mouthed woman, she came in with a pushcart and the usual number of handlers. She addressed me directly, conversationally.
"You'll be pleased to know that we'll be knocking you out far less often now. It's time you became acquainted with how things are done here. Now, we'll still be knocking you slightly out, to make you easier to handle, but you'll still be awake enough to understand what's going on."
She made a casual hand-motion and the handlers descended on me, pinning me easily and helplessly. This time, one had my head trapped between his knees and I was left looking up at his impassive, uncaring face and the woman as I scanned with my blurred vision.
She crouched down, inserting the nozzle of the nasal-spray I'd become accustomed to seeing, waiting for me to stop snorting in defiance, then fired the jet into my skull,
It wasn't entirely unpleasant, a spreading cold-warmth that you could feel sinking into tissues and spreading.
It was more about not having any say in the matter that rankled so badly.
I couldn't see what was happening with the cart, but after firing the spray up my nostril, the woman had gone back to it--I could hear things being done, sounds of plastic and activity.
The drug swept my system, slowing my muscles, nerves, making me feel doped and slow-witted. I could hear, see...but it all seemed distant a bit. Movement took an effort.
The woman was back beside me, holding something, wearing medical gloves. She'd moved the cart closer, I could see it behind-beside her.
The thing she held was a rounded type of fitting with a square-ish part and a curved plate above, and a long, grey tube with a slant-cut end, about the same diameter as my pinkie finger...glistening wetly with some kind of lubricant gel.
Even through the drug-haze, I had a bad feeling and deepening apprehension about what was going to happen. I started trying to struggle, but the drug kept my best efforts damped down and sluggish as she brought the slant-cut end of the horrible-looking tube to my face, then started putting it through the tube-like projection of my guard-muzzle.
I arched my back in horrified protest, trying desperately to get my tongue free enough to try to stop the invasion, feeling it coming through and over the back of my tongue,slick with gel, as I yelled and screamed in frightened, utterly inarticulate and helpless desperation for her to stop...feeling it at the back of my throat and starting smoothly down.
I could hear my screams choked off into vocalized-gurgling, whimpering and gagging around it as my throat was blocked, feeling the tube sliding down my throat like a fat worm, retching slightly as my body tried to save itself from the horrid intrusion.
I writhed and fought with what I could get from my drug-impaired system, feeling as helpless as a fish on a line, able only to struggle uselessly against powers holding my fate out of my hands and volition. Involuntarily, my mind flicked to the ALIEN movies, the facehugger-creatures, and how they forced a tube down people's throats also while they screamed helplessly.
The tube stopped moving down, and I could feel it in my throat as she held the plate-like end, reaching easily up to the cart and bringing a large syringe into view, connecting it to the fitting with a twist-connector.
It occurred to me then what was happening as I saw the contents in the transparent horse-sized syringe.
Force-feeding.
Tears leaked from the sides of my eyes and down the sides of my head as I unconsciously whimpered as best I could with a partially-blocked throat, in abject misery and residual horror at what had been done to me, and how easily.
"Welcome to your new life, Marlene. See what I was saying last time? You're a lucky girl, you don't have to taste this. It's good for you, nutritious and just loaded with all kinds of herbals, too...but the taste would leave something to be desired I imagine from the way it smells." The woman said to me, fitting a squeeze-grip handle to the syringe and adjusting it before squeezing it until it 'clicked' and I watched as the plunger moved in the cylinder, and again, and again....
"You'll feel it in your belly pretty soon. But I'm sorry to say that you'll have to accept having the feeding tube down your throat for the next little while. It seems you're diet needs some slight modification, so smaller but more frequent feedings to ensure best absorption. So, we're going to save ourselves some trouble and leave the feeding tube in for the next little while." My eyes went wide-blown at what she was saying.
I could barely tolerate it now!!
"Before you start getting upset, it saves you a lot of trouble also, or would you prefer to have it put down your throat and removed much more frequently??" She said, responding to the look I was giving her, and I made a small sound of defeat.
"Good girl, you're learning...I decide what happens to you, when, and how much misery you have to endure. This is a luxury cell compared to what some Mares have to endure while they're learning to adapt and be settled down. But, if you test my patience too far, you'll find out how good you've got it right now in hindsight. Fair warning given, now settle down, relax so you can breathe easier around the tube, and let me finish feeding you."
I did as I was told, having options about it...and dreading what they sounded like. She'd called my present situation a 'luxury cell'...which made me wonder how bad 'bad' could actually get, and very determined not to find out.
I tried to relax, to give in to the drug they'd laced me with, and tried very hard to ignore the pulsing sensation of the feeding tube down my throat as the woman pumped the yellowish-white, oily-looking feed into my stomach while I tried not to think about the facehugger-creatures from ALIEN again and realized that I spent too much time watching sci-fi/horror movies.
I woke up later, in pain.
The pain was familiar, and made me groan in knowing what I was in for. Cramps, it felt like a man's hand was cruelly squeezing my womb like a stress-relief ball. I doubled-up on my side as they crescendo-d, waiting for them to begin to recede like the tide coming in and going out.
Then it occurred to me about the timing of the object that had been lodged in my vagina, and the device the woman had been using.
It must have been some kind of medical sensor and monitor, tracking...my fertile time of my cycle.
I squirmed a bit, squeezing my thighs together, noting the absence of the suspected device and the harness that had forced me to retain it, feeling something smaller and much more commonly-familiar lodged within me...but somewhat larger than I normally bought and used.
The sudden sense of desolation was like a nuclear bomb going off for me.
This, more than anything else, told me exactly and precisely how absolutely helpless I was in the hands of my captors. I was allowed to do nothing...not even the most basic personal needs, even those small things had been taken completely out of my control.
I suddenly, again, missed my husband like a knife twisting through my chest. I didn't have much chance to consider him between kept unconscious or in desperate and one-sided battles against various things being done to me.
I would cheerfully have sold my soul right then and there had Satan popped up in a burst of flame just to spend an hour with him...but there was no flame, and no diabolical bargain-maker to deal with.
Just me. Alone, frightened, and feeling 'stolen'.
I tried to think what my husband would do when he found me missing.
I knew him, very well, better than anyone else--including his mother. We had that kind of communication between us, the kind when two people of the right-type for the other are lucky enough to happen across each other.
He'd know I hadn't 'just left'. I'd never do such a thing, having no sane reason for it.
But how could he possibly find me??
And, if he managed that miracle, how could he save me??
I cried myself to sleep again, retching helplessly and uselessly on the still-present feeding tube, trying to hide from reality.
I woke up to a tap on my nose, seeing shoes.
...the same kind of shoes I'd been seeing on all the staff members of the hospital-esque hell I was trapped in.
I heard the cruel-mouthed woman's voice, decided to keep staring at her shoes.
"Marlene, I have some good news!! If you'll cooperate, I'll have the handlers free your legs and I can downgrade you. Instead of wallowing around on the floor, you'll be allowed to walk, not fully free of course, but you'll have much more mobility than you do now."
I nodded, making the motion clear and distinct. the feeding tube was still down my throat, and it was miserable enough to breathe past it--trying to talk led to horrible sensations, choking and gagging.
The cramps were making me miserable enough without my adding to things.
I felt myself surrounded, pinned as usual, but this time on my side, as my legs were held and freed from the anchor straps, something soft was slipped over each foot, then I heard some metallic clicks and my legs were released.
"Want to try standing up?" The woman cajoled me, even as two handlers took my arms and lifted me with no noticeable effort.
I got my feet under me, looking down, I saw snug-fitting ankle-socks in white. My ankle cuffs had been attached to each other with a double-layered stiff leather strap a little over a foot long.
There was no way I'd be able to kick, run, or fight...but I did have the ability to move around now.
The woman was about six-inches shorter than myself, and she'd looked like a giant from the floor...in my mind I still found her 'gigantic', unassailable.
She smoothed hair from my eyes, checked my restraints and muzzle as she spoke to me.
"I know you're cramping, but analgesics are strictly for genuine need, and women have been dealing with their monthly cramps for millenia without them. Now that you're more mobile, you'll be seeing more of the facility outside your cell. There are some rules you need to know, first." She said, taking and holding my jaw so I couldn't look away.
"You're always being watched, remember that. If you're left alone, for any reason, you stay where you are or you find the nearest Staffing station, you'll learn the way around. No one here is expecting you to be cooperative, so don't think you can fool us by trying to appear such--even the most docile Mare goes off the rails once in a while. Your diet will be monitored and adjusted as needed on a regular basis. You have a long, busy and very productive life ahead of you here and you'll be well cared for whether you want it or not."
She told me this as she felt my breasts, then pressed a flat-palmed, gentle hand to my lower abdomen.
"We won't hurt you, this isn't a place where you'll be abused and tortured. There will be much you'll find embarrassing, humiliating, uncomfortable and outright painful on occasion but that is not the purpose. You have no rights essentially, we have the power of life and death over you, and we will be exercising our rights in keeping you in the best of shape."
She felt my breasts again through the material of the straitjacket as I shifted my arms helplessly.
Seeming to read my mind, she told me something about how I'd been restrained.
"You've noticed this isn't canvas, it's lighter and thinner as well as much smoother. It's a blend of Kevlar and Spectra, the same materials used in military body armor. Canvas has a certain amount of stretch or 'give' due to it's nature and the weaving commonly used in it's manufacture. This doesn't, it has almost zero 'give' or slack so there's nothing for you to use. I'm simplifying the details, but the next time you're awake and being put in one, you'll see all the design improvements yourself. To finish, for the comfort of our Mares and our own convenience, there are two flaps in the front so we can milk you regularly. Yes, hard to see from your angle, but they're there. Don't worry Marlene, you're in good hands here."
She smiled up at me, stroking my hair in a manner I guessed she meant to be comforting, and I found so humiliatingly demeaning I would have bit her arm down to the bone if I hadn't been muzzled.
CHAPTER FIVE
The 'tour' was informative...and frightening.
I figured out quickly that the socks had traction grips in the soles so I wouldn't slip on the polished floors. The handlers never let go of me, but I was otherwise as free to look around and learn as much as was possible. The cruel-mouthed woman kept up with information.
The hallways were very wide, greyish-black gleamingly-polished floors, and the walls were slightly elliptical with evenly-spaced wide doorways slightly recessed into the walls, and as we passed I noticed each had a bar code and a console beside the door with a small screen.
Even having only the same rough level of engineering knowledge as any other ordinary person I knew just from looking this wasn't some slapped-together place.
The doors looked heavy, with steel kick plates and very solid-looking grab-handles and latches using a squeeze-mechanism instead of a thumb-lever.
I was taken past a Staffing station, set into a rounded corner of an intersection, with five tough-looking woman behind it and a couple of handlers discussing something about other Mares...and 'Bulls'.
I also heard the term 'Studs' and wondered at the differentiation...but from what I heard about 'Bulls' I didn't want any part of them.
"Marlene, you're going to be scheduled for insemination soon, and you need to know that there's a difference between 'Studs' and 'Bulls'. You'll never have to worry about a Bull on you, they're too dangerous to let near any woman. Studs, they still have a decent sense of self-control, and that's what you'll be matched to." She said, plainly reading the look on my face.
"Now, Studs are restrained also, and some are fairly aggressive, but don't worry. You won't be alone when your Stud mounts and takes you. Now, the Stud will have more physical freedom than you will, obviously...we can't let you be capable of any meaningful resistance tactics. If you cooperate, you can make it much nicer for yourself, but if you really make it difficult, you'll be locked and held in a breeding frame."
I grunted as sharp cramps made themselves known again, doubling me slightly and being steadied by the handlers, reflexively trying to reach for my lower abdomen and stopped utterly by the straitjacket's hold.
She stroked my hair, speaking comfortingly.
"Bad, hmmm? I can't give you painkillers, but how's about a heat-pack to take the edge off??"
I nodded, willing to accept that much help, she patted me on the shoulder and walked around the Staffing station's counter and came back, unwrapping a heat-pack belt. She squeezed the activator stud then wrapped it around me, settling it and adjusting it so it was positioned to warm and soothe the area most in need.
It warmed up quick, and the heat penetrated the straitjacket easily, flooding comfortingly into my lower belly. I felt begin to relax somewhat as the heat spread, the woman stroking my hair comfortingly, and although it was a hated touch from a thoroughly despicable person, but when pain is suddenly lessened we're all vulnerable emotionally for a short time.
"Better, hmmm? See, we're not monsters here. There's a reason all this is happening, and has been happening for a long time. How did you think we came by our experience in handling you so well? In knowing how you'd react to various things even before you yourself knew?"
The woman said to me, letting me luxuriate in the relief from the gut-pulling cramps for a minute before continuing.
"Now, my tender-haunched Mare, it's time you were shod." She said and the handlers began guiding me along again as she took the lead. I was curious about the others she'd referred to, and as to why I hadn't seen any yet. Every time I moved my head, the tube down my throat reminded me of it's loathsome, unwanted presence...it also discouraged any efforts at issuing soundings that served me as the closest I had to speech.
I knew they were caring for my teeth, and very well, but the only times they could seemed to be after knocking me out with a nasal spray. I'd wake up, feeling an incredibly 'clean; taste and sensation in my mouth--with the guard-muzzle in place.
Trips to the toilet were matter-of-fact, and I'd learned that a concealed door in the wall of my cell held a very utilitarian-designed facility complete with a shower stall.
The fuzzy memories I had seemed very dreamlike, but I distinctly recalled being held spread-eagle, standing, in restraints while being lathered and washed down.
As much as I loathed and hated my captors, there was no shortage of care.
But that was because I was something valuable to them.
As the woman had mentioned...I was going to be scheduled for insemination, I was going to be forcibly impregnated against my will and despite any protests or resistance I could put up.
The thoughts of that swirled in my mind and I kept shoving them away, feeling a helpless apprehensive horror about it.
Thoughts of being thrown into a padded cell, still locked in the straitjacket, but my intimate regions left open and available to a leering, sexually-starved male with a horse-like penis crowded my thoughts.
I'd be able to resist, but no more than providing some entertainment for the 'Stud' before being caught, mounted and feeling unwanted ejaculate flooding inside me despite my screams and struggles.
I followed along numbly, walking as best I could with my ankles tethered.
A few doors down and she opened one, the handlers taking me inside. Looking around I could see chairs, with obstetrics-table like braces positioned for the thighs and restraining belt-wraps at hip-waist level, canted slightly backward.
They were against a wall, and the other wall was home to cubbyhole style receptacles with objects in them I couldn't readily identify in milky-white plastic.
I was taken to a seat, made to sit, and the soft but strong restraining wrap secured with Velcro was snugged around my lower waist and hips while the handlers held me from getting up.
Each handler then took hold of a leg as the woman released my ankles, lifting them up a short ways and into the cold plastic-coated braces where she locked them in with a snug-fitting restraint-wrap like that holding me in the chair.
"Now, be a good girl, and we'll get you fitted with some more appropriate footwear." The woman said to me as she unlocked and removed the restraint cuffs from my ankles, then peeled off the socks.
Tossing them aside into a bin, she went to a cubby hold and removed what immediately became apparent as a set of boots and small electric screwdriver-like device.
As she came back, I could easily see the boots, and didn't like the looks one bit.
High-heeled, high enough for make walking slightly difficult and running almost impossible. They were built like medical devices, loaded with holes throughout the foot-covering stirrup for ventilation, and two shaped risers came up from the stirrup and the back of the sole to ride along the front and back of the leg.
Regularly-spaced half-inch wide circlets were attached to the risers, each having a small round metal eye with some kind of lock. I could see heavily-built, sturdy-looking attachment points like the ones on the restraining cuffs built into the inside and outside of the ankle-area circlets.
I behaved myself, letting her slip the boots on me, noting they came up to just below my knees, and watched as she used the power-driver in the side of the sole, adjusting the tautness of the stirrup and in the eyes of the circlets to snug them down inescapably, a tongue of unused length appearing from the hard-to-see locking mechanisms. A clipper on the end of the driver-tool clipped the heavy plastic tongues away with loud 'snap!' sounds.
The boots felt odd, but weren't uncomfortable in any genuinely physical manner. I looked them over with morbid curiosity and dread as she removed the cellphone-like device from her pocket and worked with it's screen.
"Okay Marlene, these are hot boots. They're not called that from the fetish-y appearance but because of the devices built into them that can stop you in your tracks if you try to run, fight, or try wandering into areas where good girls shouldn't. Each boot can discharge a taser, at variable discharge settings and conditions into the soles of your feet. Now, the lowest setting will have you hopping around like someone's holding a lit match to your feet, and the full-power setting, well...it's ten thousand volts. If I set them to keep you from certain areas, you'll get a warning tingle if you get near them and a suitably corrective shock if you persist. I can also set them to keep you from getting out of a chair, weight-sensitive, if they detect a percentage of your weight that I specify, they can discharge whatever I deem necessary as suitable to dissuade you from being disobedient." She touched her control's screen and a small LED flashed once blue, then red on the inside edge of the sole.
"They're armed now, and set for default Mare Training. In short, you'll be allowed some additional freedoms to wander as you can now be brought down with the press of a button. For the next little while, they're set low, which means you'll be given warnings, and be able to appreciate by extrapolation what the corrective and incapacitation settings will do." The woman told me in a very direct, no-nonsense manner, held my eyes for a bit, then after I looked away in defeat the handlers freed my legs, leaving my ankles untethered.
"Take it easy for a while, you'll have to learn how to get around in those, and the handlers will keep you from falling." The handlers unfastened my hips and got me standing, and I staggered a bit unsteadily on the new heels, the floor seeming rather distant due to my sudden, abrupt change in height perspective. I noticed immediately the non-slip traction on the soles, but even with that, trying to run in the disablingly high-heeled footwear was a bad idea..
"Walk around, try them out." The woman ordered me, and the handlers began semi-leading, but more 'spotting' me against a fall. They were as bad as I'd expected, and while I was long-accustomed to wearing high heeled footwear, these things were something else entirely. They weren't meant for fashion, they were meant to allow but simultaneously restrict mobility...and did that quite well. I staggered, stumbled, and learned how to walk in them, catching sight of myself in a full-length mirror I hadn't noticed before.
The woman came over standing behind me and smiling as I stared at myself in shock.
"Yes, that's you, our newest Mare. We've found that letting the Mares discover a mirror on their own so they can see themselves freshly-shod and becoming more compliant mentally really helps boost the acclimatization process alone nicely." She explained to me, toying with my hair.
It was me, but in a way I didn't want to believe, to see, to accept.
The straitjacket fit perfectly--so perfectly that it had to have been made and tailored specifically. White, with a very soft gleam to the synthetic fiber materials that it was composed of. My forearms were trapped in two separate tube-like loops and I could plainly see the restraint cuffs with their cream-colored padding secured at my upper arms near the elbows riding in their wide belt-loop like holders...and feel similar ones snug around my wrists.
Even if I could get my arms loose, I wouldn't be able to get my arms out of the sleeves, they'd still be trapped inside, where I'd be hampered by the loose jacket and unable to use my hands. Looking down, I could see the flaps they could open to expose my breasts to pump me. I'd missed them earlier thinking they'd only been fitted cups set into the material after it's main construction. But from the feel, there was definite support for my breasts--a built-in Nursing bra.
Between the upper arm cuffs was a tether strap, a permanent part of the jacket that the cuffs were attached to, preventing me from moving my arms outward, pulling at the sleeves. The sleeves themselves, like a typical straitjacket, had straps on the ends that met and secured at your back. I turned slightly, trying to see the back of the restraining device that seemed I'd been wearing forever...
The high, firm, collar fit close but not snug around my neck, From there, was a four-inch wide fold open fabric panel running down my spine with an evenly-spaced number of bulges under it that I could only assume to be locking devices, keeping it secured around me.
The snug crotch-piece fit like a wide thong-style bikini bottom and the bottom edge of the jacket had been scoop-cut at the hips slightly in an ergonomic design.
From the back, I could see how the back of the crotch piece secured smoothly, and a wide length from it went up and under the fold-open panel along my back.
The lack of obvious buckles made me think 'velcro'.
Not a 'one-size-fits-all' article, definitely.
Perfectly-sized, snug-fitting, and designed to be inescapable while preventing any ability to injure myself by dislocating a joint like a stage magician.
There I was, looking at myself in fascinated horror.
The tube-like projection of the guard-muzzle sticking out of the reinforced hole in the soft, wide canvas strap secured around my head to ensure I couldn't expel it, and at it's end the fastening-connector for the feeding tube still lodged down my throat. The straitjacket, with it's cup-flaps containing my FF breasts, waist narrowing smoothly to my round and full childbearing hips, and tapering into my long legs...and my lower legs now locked in the most fiendishly-conceived restraints.
I was close enough to the mirror that the lack of my glasses wasn't much of an impairment, and I could make out all the details in stark clarity under the merciless lighting in the room.
The cruel-mouthed woman smiled and patted me on my left ass-cheek, the unwanted semi-intimate contact making me shift my stance and footing reflexively.
"Now do you see how it is? Yes, this was made expressly for you and there are more aside from this one, including ones you can wear when your belly's getting big and round. You're here to stay, Marlene so you're going to have to accept it. You've had a good chance to look yourself over now, how would you possibly escape?? You can't. Soon, you're going to be pregnant as well, and believe me when I tell you that pregnant Mares are under minute-to-minute observation in case they have difficulties or get into mischief."
I looked at her, tears starting again, not wanting to admit defeat and wanting to scream such into her face. I tried to speak, choked on the tube and gave up.
"Still defiant, hmmm? Good. I enjoy working with Mares that are hard to break. But eventually, Marlene, you're going to wake up in your cell with a beautifully rounded belly, and realize you have lost--that you lost this battle the moment we spotted you and tagged you for acquisition."
CHAPTER SIX
The new freedom was gradual in coming.
They wouldn't let me go far until I learned how to maneuver in the hot boots. Once I learned that, they had me wander through a maze-like room that had 'warning' zones.
I learned quickly that even the very low-level tingler-setting was unpleasant enough to get your full attention...and quash your curiosity about a given area quite effectively.
I was fitted with knee pads that fit snugly, and once set in position had a skin-gripping interior that along with the sports-type stretch fabric kept them from slipping down.
I had no idea why until I strayed into a Restricted Zone, and the boots zapped me with enough power to drop me right to me knees immediately.
From that point on, I was much more careful about areas marked with red and black stripe-bordered sign plates with a big red 'R' on the floor at the entryways.
The cruel-mouthed woman became a completely-regular fixture in my life, and as much as I hated her, loathed her and kept as much distance as possible between us...so long as I was in restraints, I needed her.
Handlers were just that, handlers. They weren't allowed to do anything with a Mare except restrain, protect and assist Supervisors in dealing with uncooperative Mares. Little by little I was learning more about how things worked, and also how vanishingly slim my chances of escape or rescue were.
The nasal sprays were less and less powerful, now only being strong enough to take the edge off my resistance and anger, slow me down, and give them a definite edge over me...as if they still needed such.
I wasn't ready to capitulate and submit, and never would be, but as I became more accustomed to things, they were of course less frightening.
And, less resistance, or less strenuous resistance, had benefits in being treated less harshly.
Once you've had a feeding tube lodged down your throat, interfering with your breathing, strangling any efforts at even inarticulate soundings for a week or longer...having it removed and being fed through a dispenser that pumped the feed into your mouth for you to swallow more-or-less voluntarily was a real sense of liberation.
I learned that the level I was on was the Acquisition-Intake level, and as I saw more and more of it, I started seeing other Mares.
I'd arrived during a relatively quiet period, and had been the only new Mare taken in a while I'd learned.
One thing every Mare had in common was a figure appropriate to having children. I'd heard years ago about the 'Optimum Hip-Waist Ratio', and seriously doubted the ones who called the shots here would miss something like that in their criteria.
The first new Mare I saw was a woman who looked eighteen to nineteen, taking her own unsteady steps in a pair of hot boots with a handler on either side as she was forced to learn how to walk in them as I had been. She was muzzled, the same as myself, eyes wide and terror-stricken, tear stains visible down the sides of her face. East Indian, I guessed from her looks, but quite fair-skinned. The straitjacket she wore was the same design as my own, and very obviously made-to-order also.
I saw others, of various Ethnicities...and that translator apps were being used by some of the Supervisors on their controllers, I guessed this hellish place had a global reach.
I woke up in my cell once to the cruel-mouthed woman's shoes by my head, feeling the aftereffects of a powerful nasal-spray knockout.
"Marlene, you've been approved for free-range exercise. But, there are some things you need to know about first." She said as the handlers got me to my feet, standing unsteadily on the padded floor in the high-heeled boots.
Something felt different, but I was still too half-stunned to work it out.
"Free-range exercise means being allowed to get out of that control jacket regularly and get some proper exercise. Yes, we have a nicely equipped fitness area, but we can't have our Mares causing trouble. You'll remain muzzled, and you'll soon discover a device that's been fitted around and behind your ears and bonded to the skin over the mastoid bone and local area. It's sort of like a cellphone earpiece, but it allows us to monitor everything you try to say and hear, also it's a correctional device. You can examine it with your fingers, and it's not coming off without the right solvents, or surgery. If you try tampering with it too much, you'll encounter it's defense systems, and while completely harmless, it certainly won't feel that way."
She held up a small, plastic-wrapped package of some kind of clothing.
"Thong panty, half-top and adhesive supports for those impressive breasts of yours. We'll take you the exercise area and you can change there." She told me.
It took a little while to shake off the after-effects of the knock-out spray they'd shot me up with earlier. It was a good thing the handlers were there, as the heels of the boots combined with the narcotic after-effects made things awkward for me to say the least, staggering around and kept from falling over mainly due the attention and holds of my handlers.
There was a good amount of walking, and an elevator ride, about ten minutes I guessed to get there.
Access was a large, wide solid-looking door opened by hand-scan using a console by the door.
By the time we arrived, I'd shaken-out the aftereffects and could walk as normally as the boots allowed.
I was really starting to hate them, the way they hampered and handicapped me--true to their design-intentions. But I'd have to learn how to deal with them as best I could, it'd been made very clear that Mares were not allowed to run around unshod.
More and more, it was becoming apparent that escape wasn't likely.
Maximum-security Prisons had less security.
That's what this facility was, it occurred to me, a prison of sorts, and if you'd been found 'guilty' by reason of being desirable based on certain criteria, it was a Life Sentence.
Inside the Exercise Area was an immensely cavernous space, complete with a running track. A full athletics field and a small ocean of exercise equipment, under a reinforced roof structure and openly lit in a way that seemed to perfectly replicate sunlight. There was greenery, the smell of plants and such...
A completely disheartening scale of construction and permanency.
I also noticed a total lack on any enclosures, any locations to use to hide.
I looked around, seeing other women, Mares, working out on machines, doing aerobics--albeit modified to account for the incapacitating footwear. Well over a dozen, and all dressed alike.
Every woman wore a thong-style panty, hot boots, a greyish half-top and from the minimized jiggling of their busts I could only presume they all had the same kind of breast supports the woman had mentioned.
The woman, my Supervisor, started opening the clothing package as the handlers began releasing me from the straitjacket. I heard a lot of heavy Velcro-sounds, especially when the arm strap was released, felt the back-panel opened to a Velcro-sound and heard several metallic solid-sounding 'click' sounds, then a zipper opening. My arm cuffs were unlocked and they helped me shrug out of the loathsome thing.
I stood there, naked aside from the boots, trying reflexively to cover myself and feeling something around my neck.
I reached up, feeling smooth fabric, metal and plastic riding my neck snugly but nowhere enough to threaten breathing or circulation.
"Vital signs monitor, remember my telling you how we were monitoring your brain activity? Also you're heartrate, pulse-strength, respiratory cycle and blood oxygenation. It's like those finger-clip things in hospitals, less primitive though, and it's cells are charged through body heat on a repetitive cycle, so no down-time"
I listening to the cruel-mouthed woman, feeling her eyes on me, looking me over appraisingly as if I belonged to her.
I felt around my ears...
Thin, sculpted metal and ceramic, riding the skin around my ears. I experimentally tried moving one, and discovered it might as well have been an inherently natural part of my body, it was bonded so well.
The woman held out the thong-panty to me and the handlers took my shoulders to steady me as I slid it on and up, grateful for the minimal covering, then accepted the loose-fitting half-top.
"These breast supports are a bit tricky, You hold those gorgeous breasts up and I'll place them." The woman said, lifting the top to expose my breasts.
I did as told, lifting them, with some milk drops forming on my nipples, which got a smile from the woman.
"Before you ask, these are designed so we can make sure you're looked after." She said, positioning the soft silicone-like sculpted material under my breasts, made some slight adjustments then motioned for me to let my breasts settle.
"Wiggle, side-to-side, that'll get things settled. As you can feel, there's varying degrees of firmness in them, some areas are just like skin, others like cartilage. In a minute or so, you'll forget you're wearing them." I did, again, as told, feeling slightly ridiculous--but she knew what she was talking about and my breasts settled perfectly into the soft cups when I straightened back up.
I still felt horribly exposed, squirming my thighs together self-consciously and keeping an arm across my breasts.
At least the straitjacket gave the feeling of better coverage.
The heat pack was re-secured around me, bringing what relief it could.
"Go ahead, you're pretty much off-leash here. You will receive instructions from the Fitness Supervisor and you are to obey those without question or hesitation. Aside from that, walk around, get some exercise, try out some of machines..." The cruel-mouthed woman said to me.
At a sudden thought I reached up and behind my head where the fastenings for the security strap holding my guard-muzzle in place would be.
I could feel smoothness, as if things had almost been welded together.
"Sorry, Marlene. We can't have our Mares removing their muzzles, can we? It's Velcro, a new type that uses an electrostatic molecular-adhesion process to prevent unauthorized removal." The woman said, coming closer as I tried to find a way to remove it, and realized quickly how pointless my efforts were.
"Now go on, meet some of the other Mares." She said encouragingly, lightly slapping my rump to send me off, bringing a mild flush of embarrassed anger to my face, but I did as instructed and started walking unsteadily across the short grass towards a nearby cluster of women.
Blondes, Brunettes, Asians, Blacks, Caucasians...there was no discrimination evident even in just this small group, and I could see more in the distance.
Women from the Middle East, the Slavic countries also, at a guess...
All dressed as I was. All young, beautiful, evidently healthy and with the right physique as I'd suspected, being pretty good at measuring things accurately by eye.
All of them had the same hip-waist ratio, or extremely close it.
All of us were muzzled, unable to communicate in more than inarticulate soundings and non-vocal means.
I was shyly keeping my distance, but welcomed with warm eyes and nods, hands touching my shoulders gently as they seemingly tried to give me some comfort in shared camaraderie. One blond placed her hand gently on my lower abdomen, looking at me questioningly.
I figured she was asking if I was pregnant, and shook my head. She in turn held her own belly, and nodded. As did all but two of them in the small group I was with, and noticed that some were starting to show slightly, the first gentle roundness of pregnancy.
I felt slightly dizzy when it hit like a hammer to the top of my head that I was looking at my own immediate future.
I looked around, slightly startled to see a couple of models I'd seen in magazine ads for perfumes and such, and a few porn stars who'd been reported dead in a boating accident recently, also some fetish and non-nude models I'd seen around on the web and on the covers of men's magazines.
The reach of whoever operated this facility was comprehensive, intimidatingly so.
No woman was safe from them if they wanted her. They had the impunity to reach out like a dark claw and simply pluck whoever they wanted from the world.
The small group took me around the area, showing me things I needed to know.
Something of a more direct dumb-show method of demonstration as none of us could speak because of our muzzles.
The watering stations mounted on poles that were evenly spaced around the area, as example.
Easy to operate, you held onto the grab-bars sticking off the sides, put the guard-muzzle's projecting tube into a hole, there was a 'click' as it was locked and held, and a tube was put through it into your mouth, allowing you to suck as much water as you wanted. Getting away from it was easy, all you had to do was take your hands off the grab-bars mounted beside it. Your muzzle-tube was unlocked from it and you were free to go back to whatever you'd been doing.
I decided that I needed more practice on the handicapping boots locked onto me and stepped onto a treadmill. One thing I noticed immediately was that it was surrounded with a wide area of soft padding, and the control pedestal was not just padded but would collapse and bounce back like an oversize flexible runner car antenna. All the machines were modified towards ensuring the safety of those of us using them...and there was absolutely nothing around you could use as a weapon.
Not even a suggestion of free-weights of any kind.
The closest I saw was one Mare, young-twenties, brunette and being followed by two handlers. I noticed the weights locked around her ankles and wrists, but her hands encased in things that looked like overstuffed boxing gloves but without thumbs or the ability to open the hand.
Restraining devices combined with exercise I guessed. There was no way imaginable she could use her hands, even as effective fists from the soft-foam look of the heavy padding, and the weights seriously slowed her and made it more than a bit of effort to raise her arms.
I and the rest of my little group watched them pass, then looked around at each other with the same sentiment clear to each other in our faces and eyes...determined not to end up on the receiving end of such.
After a while of being allowed to roam around, get to know each other in a limited fashion, and get some exercise I heard a voice in my head, as if someone had suddenly turned my skull into an opera theatre.
It was only conversationally loud, but impossible to ignore...and from the startled looks on some of the other girls I could tell they were hearing the same.
"Exercise period has expired. You will stop activity, stand clear of all machines and equipment, and seat yourselves on the grass. You will be under Warning until your Supervisors come to re-secure you and escort you back to your cells."
I noticed that the girls who didn't look all that surprised wasted no time in complying and followed their example, also noticing that none of the ones seemingly 'in-the-know' allowed the soles of their boots to take any weight at all after sitting down, straight-legged, arms behind them for support as if on a beach somewhere else.
My suspicions were confirmed as soon as the first girl sat down and took the weight off her boots. There was a 'chirp' and an amber-colored flashing LED started pulsing at each side and the toe of each boot.
I took the warning at face-value, but one new arrival either didn't think it applied to her or forgot...
The instant she put enough weight on one foot, she yelped sharply through her guard-muzzle and fell over onto her side from the crouch she'd gotten half-into as a way of standing up, continuing to yell and moan while clutching uselessly at the foot that'd been shocked. The rest of us stayed where we were, as she hadn't been injured, the voice had specified 'Warning' level, more-or-less and none of us were interested in getting our own feet zapped from either accidentally putting weight on our boots or finding out what kind of remote activations would be employed.
None of us were happy about it, especially as we all began realizing then how our behaviour was being forcibly modified into docility or at least apprehensive compliance.
In due course, our respective Supervisors came for us, and Handlers got us quickly and expertly back into the straitjackets after each of us was given a mildly-incapacitating nasal-spray. One of the new girls fought, was seized, held down on her belly, and her Supervisor dialled the spray unit up before straddling her, locking her chin into her elbow in a headlock and forcing the soft- rubbery nipple-like spray heads into her nostrils over her angrily-shrilling yells of defiance. Within seconds, she was quiet, semi-conscious, and an example had been made.
The cruel-mouthed woman checked my restraints over, especially the strap holding my guard-muzzle in place while speaking to me.
"There's my good girl! No trouble from you now, eh?" She patted my rump cheek in a manner that was more than slightly possessive, and slightly caressing. I squirmed under the touch, blinking at her in slightly-surprised mild outrage, but kept quiet as she moved some hair from my eyes.
"Such a beautiful Mare, but I can see what you're thinking Marlene, it's in the backs of your eyes. Well, you'll have an opportunity to work all that recalcitrance and obstinacy out of your system pretty soon. Now, come along, you've got an appointment for a checkup." She said, as the handlers started guiding me along.
CHAPTER SEVEN
'Check-up'.
Something in the way her eyes looked at me gave me a sinking feeling, and a feeling that I'd soon come to dread those words more than anyone living in the normal world had cause to.
I noticed the handlers had hold of me only enough to suddenly grab me if, say, I stumbled on the footwear I'd been locked into. They were 'spotting' me, not actively controlling me.
I soon found out why.
Back out in the main corridor, there was a voice in my head, as like earlier.
Quiet, solid-sounding, the voice on Unquestionable Authority, it made me think of bedrock, mountains, and other eternal and unyielding things.
"Proceed down the corridor until you reach the fourth intersection." The voice said. I did as I was told, and managed a decent pace given my unfamiliarity with the boots. I noticed cameras, small ones, all over the ceiling of the corridor, and a few were tracking me smoothly. I listened, hearing the 'Tap-Tap-Tap' of my own heels on the polished floor, and distant sounds I couldn't readily identify.
The soft-soled shoes of the handlers and the woman made so little sound I had the sense they were there, that there was a 'sound', but nothing I could consciously detect.
The place smelled, for lack of a better word, 'clean', with a slight tang of ozone in the air. I noticed that along the ceiling were massive air cleaners, silently working, judging from the indicator streamers from their outlets.
Whatever this place was, it hadn't been built cheaply or without a great deal of detailed planning. I couldn't imagine the money, power and influence behind something like this. It didn't have a 'government' feel, but I was just guessing based on precious little real info and gut-instinct.
For all I knew, it could be the government's best-kept secret.
Breeding??
Why?
There were just over seven billion people on the planet already, and whoever had built this place wanted more??
This wasn't some sick pervert's lair, nothing this scale could have been done without an uncountable billions of dollars worth of resources, and things were too...clinical for it to be some twisted game.
There was a reason and a will behind this place, it's conception and construction. There was no doubt in my mind about it.
I arrived at the intersection, and was so lost in thought I would have kept going if The Voice hadn't chimed in.
"Stop. Turn and proceed down the corridor to your left until you come to the next intersection." I was surprised, and stumbled slightly, caught from falling by the handlers, and once I was reasonably sure-footed again, they loosened their grips.
I felt grateful to them, and just barely managed to stop myself from giving them a look that would communicate such.
They were my captors, more or less. They were the ones who'd held me down, struggling and screaming, while things had been done to me that I never would have agreed to. They weren't helpers to me, they were living instruments of forceful coercion.
They were alert-enough looking for me to know they weren't lobotomized or drugged...probably 'just doing their jobs'.
Same excuse people throughout history had used in defense of their willing service to cruelty and torture.
The voice spoke again, with a slight tone of urgency.
"Stop. Submit to your handlers." I heard, then the handlers were dragging me against the wall and shielding me just as I came to a halt. The cruel-mouthed woman was checking her device, and the handlers looked ready for a fight, and displayed combat stances that had nothing to do with Martial Arts even to my untrained eyes.
Each had pulled a short, black rod from under their uniform tops, and with a loud 'crack' sound each telescoped out into a nasty-looking weapon.
Okay, I was being protected, but from what??
What did they have running around down here that could get that kind of response??
I found out soon enough when an animalistic roar of what I guessed was a mix of rage and something worse.
I could hear sounds of conflict, the sounds of bodies being slammed, hard, into solid surfaces and was suddenly very glad the handlers were there.
At the intersection, I saw a handler come flying through air, obviously having been thrown. His white uniform was drenched in blood, and I could see a hole in the side of his neck even without my glasses, and the motion of pumping blood escaping him.
Another roar, and a woman whom I presumed to be in the same job-description as the cruel-mouthed woman came flying after the handler, screaming and one arm flopping around in a way plainly having nothing to do with natural design and function.
Something was taking people apart, and I was too close for comfort.
A man came into view, and I just wanted to run in a blind panic, but some tiny part of my mind realized that would be suicide.
Huge, easily close to seven feet tall, and his musculature was unbelievable. Massive bone structure, and eyes that were like recessed vision slits in an armored vehicle. He moved like something wild, born to the wildlands where nothing approaching Human culture, civilization or mannerisms existed.
He looked in my direction, and what I saw burning in those eyes as they flared at seeing me was something that iced my heart over and froze the breath in my throat. There was nothing even close to sanity there.
There was nothing Human in them, just a hideous sexual desire, not even animal but darker and dreadful.
Naked, I could all-too-easily see his half-erect cock start rapidly growing hard as fleshy steel, the length at least ten inches and too thick to be something I wanted ramming into me.
I couldn't run--a couple of shifting-steps reminded me clearly of that, and started struggling against my restraints, desperate to get free so I'd have some ghost of a chance at trying to defend myself. I had a galling realization of exactly how helpless I was.
The cruel-mouthed woman stepped smoothly around me, and I saw her reach under her uniform top and remove something.
She stepped between the handlers, and I could see her levelling a small handgun, sleekly designed and purely functional.
All I could do was watch as the Human-looking monster came for me at gathering speed, actually drooling in anticipation of raping me, and things seemed to go slow-motion, and I heard a short, sharp 'Crack!' as a hole appeared right between the oncoming giant's eyes and he dropped like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
I blinked in shock, breathing like a bellows, adrenaline flashing through my system like energy looking for a grounding-point. I'd just watched a man get shot down in cold blood, with every element of deliberacy to the incident.
Other staff came from everywhere, as did medical personnel and started looked after the two injured staff from only a minute earlier. The cruel-mouthed woman turned to me, smiling reassuringly and stroking my hair fondly with her free hand.
"Poor girl, not the most calming thing to be part of." She dug out a nasal sprayer, and I watched her dial it right down to a minimal setting.
"Here, this'll help, hold still." She said, and I did so as she gently put the rounded, soft spray heads into my nostrils, then I felt the low spray-blast spread through my nasal passages. I started feeling a lot calmer from the minimal dosing as it sunk in and spread quickly.
"Now, on your knees." She said, pointing down. I looked at her and she repeated herself, making it an unmistakable command this time.
"Down! On your knees, right now." She said with a definite edge in her tone, and the handlers steadied me as I obeyed, and went down to my knees, glad of the knee pads considering the floor.
I stayed like that, watching the goings on as the two staff were seen to, the woman taken away on a gurney and the handler zipped into a black bag that was also taken away on a gurney.
It 'clicked' then, that I recalled seeing blood on the giant's mouth, and realized then that he'd bitten out the chunk from the handler's neck.
The realization made me shiver, shudder and I realized I was drawing in to myself in a delayed fear reaction, and just went with it. The light tranquilizer dose had smoothed out my adrenaline, but there were still ghosts of my nearly blind-panic in those horrifying moments of terror when he'd been coming for me.
I overheard the term 'Bull' in regards to the man who'd been shot dead, and remembered such being mentioned before to me, and being told that they weren't allowed near Mares.
It was pretty easy to understand 'why', from what I'd seen so recently.
After what felt like maybe half an hour, I was tapped on the head.
"Stand up, on your feet." The woman said, and again I was steadied as I worked around the boot's intentional handicapping of my agility.
I made my way to the intersection I'd been directed to, and the clean-up had been so thorough there was no trace of any disturbance whatsoever.
There was a Staff Station in the corner of the intersection and a woman who could have been a sister to my present 'minder' came out from behind the counter. There were a few others in the station, and a small group of handlers comparing notes about something out of my earshot.
The new woman smiled at the cruel-mouthed woman, took hold of my shoulders.
"I've got her from here. Will you be collecting her or should I get a detail to get her back to her cell?" She asked my usual tormentor.
"I can't say, but you might want to have the detail ready just in case I get hung up with the inquiry. There's going to be hell to pay for that Bull getting loose like that. I'm guessing no one bothered reading my memo about unqualified staffers handling them during transport??" The cruel-mouthed woman said.
"Didn't look like it. What were they thinking? Amateurs have no business handling the Bulls!!" The new woman agreed with the cruel-mouthed woman.
"Well, there's two that have learned their lesson." My semi-constant companion said. "Marlene's all yours, she's slated for a full workup and examinatory inspection. She's pretty well-behaved, but keep an eye on her." The cruel-mouthed woman said, made a casual gesture of departure to the new woman and left with the handlers.
"Marlene. Pretty name and a gorgeous Mare. You're going to be very popular here and very busy, too!" The new woman said cheerfully, walking beside me and guiding me by my shoulders.
I didn't like the implications of what she said, and snorted to express such, tossing my head to once-again get some hair away from my face, and also as a gesture of protest at what she'd said.
All my responses got was an indulgent chuckle.
"You new Mares are all the same. You all think you're going to be the exception to the rule, hold out, resist, and evade what's been planned for you. No, that's not how it's going to be, not at all. Think it over and through for a bit. You don't have any idea where you are, any exits are going to be secure and require ID clearance to get through. You're kept in restraints for the majority of the time, the boots keep you from physically running, additionally they can bring you down anywhere at any time. You're constantly being monitored, and those sleekly discrete devices mounted behind your ears will start modifying your thinking patterns and behaviour very soon once they've finished gathering operational data. They can deliver a form of correctional stimulus that you will find makes it effectively impossible to escape." She said conversationally, as if discussing the weather. She patted my arm, a gesture I guessed was meant to be comforting and consoling.
"Marlene, you'll just have to accept that the reality is that you're old life is over and done with. There's no going back to it, ever, because we won't allow it. You belong here now, to the facility, and you are in service to it. It could have been worse, you know." She said, letting me wonder about that.
In due course we arrived at a set of automatic doors that slid open and she she led me through. I could see a kind of 'reception area' that I didn't like the looks of, and about a dozen other women all restrained as I was with other uniformed minders keeping a watch and talking amongst themselves.
There were no chairs except for staff. Mares had small 'stalls' along the walls. You stayed on your knees with a metal bar attached to the wall that had a padded steel clamp locked around your neck, with you facing the wall. I could see various Mares trying to look around, but the wall panels of each stall's sides prevented any contact with a neighbour and head mobility was quite restricted. More than a few of them were squirming, trying in vain to shift position, and I could easily hear guard-muzzle stifled sobbing and moans of helplessness and despair in apprehension of what was to come.
I watched one young Blonde Mare as she was unlocked and lifted to her feet by her minder.
Her face was extremely pretty, although heavily tear-streaked. Her eyes were wide, scared, and she kept shaking her head in protest while sounding strenuously through the guard-muzzle blocking her mouth. She tried bracing her feet in protesting resistance, and then gave a sticky-sounding squeal of agony and started writhing her head as she was driven to her knees by some force I couldn't readily see.
"That's one of the things I was telling you about." My minder said. "Those devices around your ears can generate something of a sensation that I'm told is impossible to describe, but unbelievably horrible." She finished telling me as she guided me to a waiting stall as I looked on with mounting dread at the blonde.
She quickly stopped shrieking, and sagged physically, seemed to relax as if something had just loosened it's grip on her, in a sense that's just what had happened. She was sobbing, but no longer giving out the nerve-peeling screams.
"Lesson learned." My minder said, smirking as I was in the stall and she told me to kneel.
I did so, unhesitatingly, and faced the wall, swallowing nervously.
The clamp was snug, but not uncomfortably tight, with the bar's mounting locked, it was as solid as if welded to the wall. I thought about what I'd just seen and heard, and couldn't recall ever even hearing of a person being able to make as awful-sounding a series of shrieks and squeals as the blonde girl had.
I had loads of questions and no answers, and the questions themselves were terrifying just by themselves;
What kind of science could be behind the control devices that could do that to a person?
When would I get my own personal taste of the unique sensation spoken of?
What were the Bulls kept for, and why didn't they have control devices fitted to them?
What kind of horrors awaited me for this examination, and why was the blonde so scared?

CHAPTER ONE
When you're a 6'3 woman, you sometimes make errors in judgement because of your size and how you've become accustomed to people seeing and treating you.
It'd been a miserable day at work, month-end reports needing to be finalized and then vetted according to company policy.
Trying to do a week's worth of work in a day.
Throw in a skipped lunch, and un-paid overtime, you end up too tired to think.
You don't pay attention to your surroundings.
You don't think about being careful.
I'd just put the key into the lock to open my car because the remote wasn't working, and then out of nowhere hands were on me.
Strong hands, that grabbed hold and held them while I was pressed hard against the side of my car. I was too stunned from exhaustion and shock to cry out immediately, and felt the collar of my coat grabbed, jerked brutally down and something pressed hard against the base of my neck and beside my spine. A leather-gloved hand came up and covered my mouth as what felt like a sustained lightning-strike went through me.
My throat locked, everything in my body locked-up, hot-flashing agony everywhere and every muscle was rigid as steel cable. I couldn't even breathe.
I thought of piano-strings quivering...
When my brain came back to being useful, I couldn't figure out what had happened and my whole body hurt, especially the spot at the base of my neck where something horrible had been done to me. My entire body, everywhere felt like it' all been through a single immense cramp.
I was laying face down on the cold concrete with my arms folded under me with kept my large breasts from being really squashed by my weight into the cold hardness, smelling dust and exhaust traces. I turned my head to try to see who and what was going on, adrenaline starting to rise.
Men, big and dressed all in non-descript clothing you could find anywhere. Jeans, workboots, sweaters, cheap-looking leather jackets...nothing that stood out and ski-masks over their faces.
One crouched down beside me with something he held between his hands, and it took an instant for me to recognize it...
A ball-gag.
I started trying to get up, fight back, hoping blindly in panic to get away...and got a knee pressed into the small of my back and a hand over my mouth as I tried to get my arms out from underneath me.
..and couldn't.
I struggled and could feel something like a band tight around me at midway down my upper arms, keeping me from moving them outward and a similar feeling around my wrists.
Tight.
I kept struggling, in a real panic now and feeling a band around my ankles and thighs, as the gag was slip-forced into my mouth just as the hand was moved, feeling it go in deep, then even deeper as the strap was tightened around my head. I tried screaming as loud as I could, and even to my ears I could tell the gag was too effective for me to get much noise past.
Belatedly I thought I'd missed the chance to bite the hand that'd been covering my mouth, make the owner yell for me...then realized that the gloves meant no fingerprints and they were expecting to be bitten-at.
They hauled me to my feet, and I realized they'd taken my shoes as my feet met cold concrete through the material of my stockings. I saw a waiting van, greyish-white, with it's side-door open and more men inside, feeling my heart start to really hammer as I was turned and dragged towards it backwards, keeping me from being able to brace my legs despite my best, panicked efforts.
I was furious, terrified and gave in to the adrenaline to make it as hard as I possibly could for them to take me, screaming as powerfully as I could through the gag filling my mouth.
In abduction stories, the victim always mentions the 'taste' of the gag...all I could taste was that sickening 'brass' taste of genuine fear I'd experienced once in a corner-store robbery.
The men never said a word, which I found frightening as I realized that it meant they'd done this before.
They had no trouble handling me, and from a couple of nasty-sounding chuckles I could tell they were enjoying this!!
Inside the van, a curtain separated the back from the driver's area, no back windows, and heavy cargo-padding on the walls. There was a section of thick foam on the floor they dumped me on, face-down, and held me at my legs and shoulders as I kept trying to fight.
I wasn't sure how many of them there were, but more than I knew I had a chance against. As the van started to move, which flooded me with even more panic as it meant things so frightening and immense in implication that my mind stalled, they started speaking.
One was going through my purse, found my cellphone, and tossed it to another. I heard it being disassembled. "No tracking this now." He said.
Another was making a call, speaking to someone about my car and collecting it, I heard the words; 'chop-shop' and like anyone knew they'd make it vanish.
Like me.
Another spoke up.
"Boss, knock her out?" He rasped, sounding like he'd been punched in the throat.
"Nah, let her fight, she'll wear herself out. I hate the way that knockout shit smells, open the bottle and it's everywhere, gives me a fuckin' headache." The one going through my purse said. He sounded like the type to knock you through a wall if you stood up to him, no-nonsense, brutal.
"Got her phone cracked...nothing on her schedule we need to worry about for a week, easy." One of them said, one I couldn't see down by my feet.
"Damn, she's big...I love tall women." One said above me, the one holding me down by my shoulders. The leering tone in his voice made me very glad that the 'boss' didn't sound like the type to let his guys 'play' with captives.
"Let's see...Marlene Collins, six-three...blood type..." The Boss said, looking over my Driver's License and some other personal papers.
Hmmm...no pills aside from Midol, one rubber...ribbed. Well, aren't we the clean-living bitch." He said half-addressing me.
I snarled something that I hoped would translate through the rubber ball filling my mouth, glaring at him.
"Nice attitude, bitch. Where you're going that'll get fixed for sure." The Boss said, and I could hear the smirk in his voice.
I don't know how long we drove for, but it felt like an eternity, and finally after a jouncing trip down what I presumed was some kind of road, the van came to a lurching stop.
I got a solid slap on my rear, along with;
"Wake up, we're not gonna carry you more'n we have to." From one who hadn't said anything yet.
The door was opened and I was hauled out unceremoniously, set on my feet, and dragged towards a large prefab industrial steel building. I looked down, I was secured with duct tape in a manner that said my captors knew very well what they were doing. I could squirm, but that was all. My jacket and coat were gone, I was left in blouse, skirt and stockings.
At the door, the Boss tapped in a code into a keypad, a light went out and the door started sliding upwards. I tried, reflexively, to step back but with the duct tape binding my legs and the two men holding my arms it was enough that I didn't fall over.
I looked around, but aside from the van, a short road between building and a gate set into a chain link, barbed-wire-topped fence that extended off into the darkness there wasn't anything else to see.
No sound of traffic.
One of the men started working at my gag.
"Leave it, last thing I wanna hear is her yowling while I'm trying to do business."
The Boss said.
They started taking me inside, and I started fighting, being dragged along with minimal difficulty by them as I tried everything I could think of to get free. Adrenaline spiked my system again, and I screamed through the gag, over and over, thrashing like a madwoman. I caught sight of the building interior, and it looked like an auction space with a small stage, rows of chairs, a podium on the stage and lots of open side-space.
I started thinking about the tales of modern-day white slavery and began to wonder...and fight even harder, feeling a sharp strain in my shoulder joint as I desperately tried to yank my arm free of my bindings.
The Boss, maybe having had enough, turned and grabbed my jaw hard enough to hurt--holding a taser close enough for me to smell the plastic it was made of.
"stop it, or I'll stop you." He said, triggering the horrid little weapon so I could smell the ozone an hear the crackle of angry power looking for a ground.
I felt my eyes go wide as he jerked my blouse out of m skirt and pressed it to my lower belly, looking me in the eyes.
I made a sound of agreement, nodding assent, not wanting another experience with it, remembering the way it'd been used earlier to stun me nearly unconscious.
"Good." he said with a nasty satisfaction, and turned away, then we continued on.
I was taken behind a curtain on the back of the small stage at the far end from the door, and into an elevator designed plainly for cargo.
The sliding gate was brought down and we soon started descending while my heart hammered against my ribs and I felt like I wasn't able to get enough air.
After some minutes, and my ears popping, I realized we were far down. Shortly after my ears popped the ride ended and one of my captors opened the gates revealing a plain, white hospital-type corridor. with a barricade and a door set into it.
Ten feet in and we were at the barricade, a small intercom set by the door and a large button the Boss pushed.
I noticed security cameras had been tracking us since we left the elevator and looked through the wire-reinforced security glass panels set into the barricade's steel frame.
Another stretch of corridor, doors, and a person in a white one piece came into view from a side passage as I watched.
It was a small, but stoutly-built woman in her middle age, humorless face, light brown hair cut short in a straightforward 'efficiency' style. No name tag, but she wore a stethoscope and a small device clipped into a breast pocket.
She opened the door, and it closed behind her.
"Well, let's see what we have here..." She said to my captors, setting up her stethoscope and listening to my heart, then my lungs. She looked me over like a trained professional, felt the glandular areas of my neck, used the small penlight from her pocket to have a look at my eyes. She lifted my loose blouse-front and felt my belly, getting some complaints from me that she ignored.
The Boss handed her my ID and a bunch of other personal papers I'd had with me and from inside my car.
She looked over some papers I'd gotten from my most recent checkup, then tapped the page.
"Ah, yes...excellent. Thank-you for being so quick about acquisition." She said to the men, leaving me to wonder about what she knew about me and why the test results from my Dr. mattered...then it clicked.
My Dr. was acting as some kind of 'spotter' for whoever the people were.
"She seems pretty docile, did she give you any trouble??" The woman asked.
"A good bit, yeah. Told her to shut-it upstairs, told her I'd tase that soft belly." the Boss said, chuckling.
The woman nodded, looking me over, plainly considering something.
She moved to the intercom, pressed a control and spoke crisply into it, issuing a single order.
" Five handlers."
I tried to ask; 'What does that mean?', which was utterly stifled by the gag--but I didn't like the sound of 'handlers'.
In less than a minute, five large men came through the door dressed in the same kind of uniform-one piece the woman wore. I was taller than any of them, but they were all built like Kodiak bears. They stepped in, taking hold of my arms and wrists. One on either side, three behind along with the woman and started taking me through the door.
CHAPTER TWO
By the time I snapped out of it, the sense of surreality, and started fighting the handlers--it was too late. They had me through the door and it had closed with a solid, heavy-sounding 'click-thunk' of a serious lock.
One of the others came up, grabbed my legs and they carried me, thrashing and screaming into the gag, down the corridor and around a smooth-walled corner into another. I saw a duty-station as we passed it, then down to a room with a door that one of the handlers opened and they took me inside.
Plain white walls, non-slip floor, cabinets along the walls and an examination table in the middle of the space, with open and waiting restraints.
They forced me down and surrounded me, holding me and the woman used medical scissors to cut away the tape binding me.
Despite my best, most desperate efforts and thrashing at them, they got me secured with a sickening ease. My arms secured so my hands were level with my head, heavy padded restraint cuffs at wrists and upper arms. My legs were cut free, and my ankles quickly locked snugly into the restraints waiting for them.
They kept hold of me, minimizing my struggles as the woman came near my face after lowering the table slightly.
They all seemed to know what they were doing from habit, not needing to say anything to each other.
My head was grabbed, held still, and the woman slipped a red, flat plastic thing in beside the ball gag then turned it so it was solidly between my molars. She cut the strap holding the ball gag in my mouth, removed it, then brought something 'U' shaped up that looked like a very heavy, thick mouthguard with a short, wide cylinder sticking out from the outside-bottom curve.
She brought it to my mouth, and the stick kept me from closing my teeth, the handler kept me from moving my head despite my efforts to avoid what I could tell was coming.
The woman deftly forced the thing into my mouth, between my teeth over my loudest complaints.
Firm-soft, mouth-filling rubbery material. I could breathe through the tube-projection, and tried to get it out of my mouth with my tongue--quickly learning that some part of it trapped my tongue down. I could swallow, but that was all.
She brought a round-cornered foam-padded square with straps up, and the breathing tube went through a hole in it as she pressed it firmly down over my mouth. The handler lifted and held my head as she fastened the straps snug behind it, oddly taking care to keep my hair free, accomplishing the task easily despite my uncooperative squirming.
That done, she made a slight dismissive motion with her hand, and my head was released, the other handlers let go as well but stayed around the table I was secured to.
She picked up a clipboard from under the table, took a short pen from her pocket, and started making notations while speaking to me.
"Marlene, this is the reality of your new life. We own you now, and based on everything we have in our files you're going to be a very busy girl." I made my feelings clear by glaring at her with every bit of hatred and anger I had, and trying to make appropriate-sounding noises through the 'gag'.
The woman smiled down at me, tapped my nose with the pen lightly, making me blink and snort in reflex.
"Spirited, good. Now, according to what we have on file, you're lactating, and heavily....hmmm. I'm guessing about now you're probably starting to get pretty engorged, don't worry."
She made some notes on the clipboard, then continued.
"As I was saying, you can cooperate and make it much easier on yourself...or you can fight us for as long as your will to resist holds out. You can't escape. Even if you got outside, you have no idea where you are and there's no way you'll survive long enough to get to civilization. We know what we're doing here, you're not the first Mare I've dealt with, and you won't be the last."
She stopped, put the clipboard down and opened my blouse, despite my angry squirming and struggles at being undressed.
"Oh dear, well we can't have that." She said and then spoke to one of the handlers.
"Get a dairy technician in here, stat." The man nodded then left, and I looked down to see the front of my bra cups suffering soak-through. Then things caught up to me and the pain signals my breasts were sending cut through the rest of everything else cluttering my mind.
I groaned, arching my back as my nervous system took-up the long-ignored warnings. My breasts felt like there were balls of needles in them and an intolerable pressure just behind my nipples, too big for them to pass.
I whimpered in sudden pain, tears started from my eyes and I writhed in the restraints, helpless to do anything for myself to ease the pain of my milk-engorged breasts.
I had my eyes crushed closed as a wave of pain swept through them, biting and sobbing into the gag filling and covering my mouth, feeling a hand stroking my hair gently.
"There, there...it's alright, not much longer, just hold on, help's coming." The woman was saying, showing completely unexpected and un-looked for empathy.
I found myself nodding helplessly, the pain wasn't overwhelmingly terrible by itself, but it reminded me of my husband, the relationship we had that formed something so special in our marriage.
I suddenly missed him with a feeling like something was being torn loose out of me. I'd induced my milk for him, to show him my unconditional and overarching love. He'd accepted it, and given it back in dedication to keeping my breasts from becoming engorged or my ever feeling neglected.
I wanted to die at the thought of losing him, my marriage, and my life that I'd had.
In what seemed an agony-filled eternity later, I'd been half-released from the restraints, sat up, while the handlers held my arms crossed and immobile behind me, one with his arm around my neck loosely but able to tighten into a controlling hold instantly.
Another woman, taller and slightly younger, had come in and opened my bra cups with sympathetic 'tsk'-ing sounds.
She'd used warm, absorbent pads on my nipples and lightly trailed her fingers under my breasts and up towards my nipples, provoking a painful but nonetheless relieving let-down.
When the let-down surge had faded, she'd applied breast pumps to both nipples, connected to a primary machine.
I looked myself over, not really being able to avoid doing so.
I looked like a wreck. My skirt was stained, dust-dirty, hiked up far enough to show my panties and that I wore a garter belt. My stockings worn, running and torn. My blouse had seen better days, and although fully open and hanging off to the sides of my bust, it was pretty plain that even a top-line dry-cleaner couldn't save it. My hair felt about what I expected to see if I'd had a mirror handy.
I was tired, hungry, thirsty, angry, heartbroken, sore in half a dozen places aside from my breasts and plain miserable. The additional fact that I'd been hooked up by a complete stranger to a breast-pump annoyed me even more, it felt like a straightforward violation of my choice without even so much as a by-your-leave, or even a recognition my will regarding it was being ignored.
It was pretty clear that no one here--wherever 'here' was--gave a ghost-faint damn about my choices and desires. The wide canvas belt secured tight around the table that the restraint cuffs holding my legs were attached to was ample proof of that. Heavy tan leather with a soft cream-colored padding, a belt-like stiff leather tongue through solid-looking narrow rectangular metal hasps holding them securely closed.
They looked like they could hold a grizzly bear, and I knew they'd hold me until my captors removed them.
Too thoroughly miserable to even cry, I just sat there staring straight ahead, letting the strange woman--the 'Dairy Technician'--minister to me without causing a fuss.
There was no point, it wouldn't even make me feel better.
So lost in the depths of a black inconsolably-deep hell of depression I didn't notice the needle until it punctured my shoulder with a sharp sting just after the breast-pump's cups were removed from me.
I whipped my head around, seeing the shorter woman holding the hypodermic, and smoothly depressing the plunger, feeling the handlers tighten their grips against any struggling I made. She finished injecting me, jerked the needle smoothly out of my shoulder and fixed me with her eyes. I heard myself make a questioning sound, then 'down' suddenly became 'sideways' and blackness like a hammer blow fell.
CHAPTER THREE
When things began to come back, it took a while for it all to make sense. Nothing wanted to work or respond correctly--like being really drunk, but not intoxicated.
The side-spill of whatever they'd shot me up with kept me from panicking, or even much of an adrenalin-rise beyond a slight 'lift'.
The world was blurry, and I immediately realized my glasses were gone, and as memory came back, I stopped thinking about where they were.
Then, things snapped-back...mostly. I looked around at blurred whiteness, realizing I was laying on something like a 'mattress-floor', which made no sense.
I closed my eyes again, waiting for my system to finish getting over whatever it was they'd screwed me over with, and after a time where I think I dozed-off again, I gave exploring another try.
Better response from my body, but eyesight was still blurred. I tried to get up, stumbled over myself and hit the soft mattress-like floor solidly. My arms weren't working, and neither were my legs...
I rolled onto my back, getting mostly there until my legs got in my way, feeling myself wearing something snug around my entire body from neck to crotch, and something was foiling my legs.
I looked myself over, and despite the high-tech appearance, it was a straitjacket, and a wide padded black nylon belt around my waist served to anchor the padded restraint cuffs on my ankles, keeping my legs bent just enough to make kicking or standing entirely useless.
My mouth was still full, and I remembered the mouthguard-like gag.
Not a dream.
Not a nightmare.
My temper exploded as I started trying to be methodical and detached in testing my restraints.
The straitjacket was lightweight, made of something like nylon in a windbreaker, but thicker, with cuffs built-in at wrists and upper arms. It fit closely, snug through the crotch and around my shoulders, waist. I could feel a heavy 'line' down my back, and it seemed 'smooth' as I couldn't feel or hear any traces of buckles scraping on the flooring. The tether-belts from the waist belt were black web-nylon and the cuffs heavy padded leather.
My temper crept up, and ambushed me, exploding in a rage a rabid lioness would be able to appreciate.
I thrashed, kicked, screamed and bit into the gag, scrubbing my face on the padded floor trying to dislodge it. I discovered there was a tether between my upper arm cuffs in front, that would keep me from being able to pull at the sleeves with any real force--and the clear determination that showed to frustrate me sent me off into an even hotter rage. I lost it, going completely incoherent with fury and hatred, pushed my muscles to the limits of small tearing sensations in trying desperately to get loose!!
After a while, shorter than I'd have liked, I wore myself out. I laid on my side, tears running from my eyes as I tried to keep silent, the occasional sob escaping audibly. I guessed that the walls were padded also, it seemed to make sense.
They wanted me, and wouldn't likely let me have anything convenient to hurt or kill myself with.
I'd been called a 'Mare'...and that left a hollow and unpleasant feeling down deep.
It occurred to me then that I'd been handled not like a person or a patient...but like a possession, property, an animal.
That gave me pause to wonder what kind of people these were, what kind of place had I been brought to?
...what was going to happen to me?
The woman who'd 'admitted' me had made it very clear that what was happening to me was normal around this place--just another day, just another woman stolen from her life and involuntarily committed to...
What??
What were they going to do to me??
I kept coming back to that question, and didn't like any of the thoughts running through my head.
Something that one of the van-men had said...but I couldn't quite catch hold of it in my memory.
I took some desperate reassurance in the fact that they hadn't treated me like something 'disposable'...but instead had made an effort in keeping me unharmed, even from the slightest bruising.
Then that reassurance turned on itself and became a dread...as it implied they wanted me in perfect condition, and for whatever possibility it didn't seem good.
More time passed, and a door opened. A female figure and five definitively male figures entered, all dressed in the same white uniform I was learning to expect seeing. My vision was blurry enough that until they got closer I couldn't make out facial details clearly.
The woman was easily my own height, but much heavier muscled and broader, looking built more like a man but still genuinely feminine. The men themselves were big, sleekly-muscled, and moved like athletes. All-business.
They surrounded me as I tried to keep them all in view, squirming in my restraints reflexively, trying to get away from them. Two men knelt down, and pinned me by my shoulders to the floor on my back, two more held my legs.
I was left helplessly glaring angrily up at the woman and the remaining male 'handler' standing beside her, my heart pounding in mixed apprehension and sheer hatred, as she smiled down at me.
"Hello, Marlene. I'd ask how you're doing today, but I can see quite clearly with my own eyes how you are on the security recordings. You don't know how long you've been here, do you? You're not supposed to, not for the first stretch, we can't have our Mares knowing more than they're supposed to. I'm here to answer the more predictable questions rattling around inside your head, and ensure that the answers you most want do not get revealed." She consulted a small notepad-sized dataslate for a minute, raising her eyebrows in mild surprise, then continued on in a cheerful manner of speaking to me that made me want to strangle her.
"You're one of the most energetically-resistant Mares we've had lately, I'm impressed!! You can be assured you'll be very well treated, managed and controlled here. You'll have the absolute best medical and health care imaginable, and you'll have absolutely minimal freedom. We protect our property here, even from itself.
Now, you're probably feeling angry, de-Humanized, and generally pretty upset.
These will pass, as you'll see...and you'll have plenty of help in coming to terms with, and accepting your new place." She tapped the screen of the device she held, consulting information I could only guess at.
"Hmmm, 'Extended Acclimatization Period' ordered...sorry to tell you this, but you'd better get used to being in those restraints. Until the acclimatization Period is assessed as complete, you cannot be downgraded to even basic self-mobility. It's actually up to you, really. Once you begin to accept things and stop stage-one resistance, you'll be downgraded. Now, I know what you're thinking, and there's no lying or playing-possum. There's a soft collar around your neck with some very sophisticated monitoring devices in it. When your brainwave patterns and EEG shows you've ceased stage-one, we'll know. In the meantime, go ahead and get it out of your system. Every new Mare has to be broken, and it's completely safe here for you, so thrash around as much as you like. There'll be regular visits from myself and other staff to ensure you're safe, healthy and uninjured--and we are keeping you on the pump every three hours. Don't concern yourself needlessly about your breasts engorging, that doesn't happen here...you'll be very well cared for."
I guess days passed, and they knocked me out regularly, coming in and holding me on my back, forcing something into my system using a nasal spray. Quick, painless, and whatever it was usually took me out in seconds.
It allowed them to care for me, as I was completely helpless physically, and also messed up my time-sense, not even really allowing me to track the passage of time by pumping sessions.
I could only guess at how many days were slipping away.
One time, I woke up, alone as usual, and when I tried moving immediately became aware of something inside me, in my vagina. Large enough to be unignorable and uncomfortable but not painful, it sent a fresh wave of anger through me.
I didn't care what it was, I wanted it out!!
Looking myself over after a failed and prolonged attempt at forcing it out using my muscles, I realized it was in to stay. I could see a web of straps around my hips,converging down to my crotch.
Whatever it was, they weren't going to allow it's expulsion, and I drove my teeth deep into the 'muzzle' as I could, the only real outlet I had for the galling frustration I felt.
I tried yelling and screaming through the air passage in the muzzle, wondering if I could provoke any actions. The infuriating frustration of the restraints and the imposition of whatever was nestled inside me lended a great deal of true impetus to my efforts.
In what seemed to me a pretty short time, the door opened, I was surrounded and pinned.
A different woman this time, slender, sleek-looking, with a perfectly vicious mouth and cruel eyes.
"That'll be enough, Marlene. Now, what's got you in such a tizzy?" She asked then crouched down to have a closer look at me.
She checked my restraints, felt my breasts through the front of the straitjacket's material, held my chin firmly to look at my eyes.
"Hmm...let's see..." She said, and started using a cellphone-sized device, and whatever it showed her put an amused smile on her face.
"Well, well...coming into heat, are we??"
I made my feelings about what she'd just said very clear through my muzzle., twisting angrily against the hold the handlers had on me.
This got a chuckle from her.
"Frustrated? Poor girl...well, you'll just have to be patient and work it off, you're not scheduled yet."
I yelled angrily, really pissed-off now, through the muzzle--fighting and thrashing against the handlers.
"Marlene, you're going to be a handful and then some, aren't you? No matter, there's always room for a spirited young Mare...with appropriate controls on her, of course."
She playfully tapped my nose, making me reflexively shake and toss my head at the unwanted contact.
"Yes, Marlene, controls...can't have you running wild can we? No, of course not. You understand, don't you?" She asked rhetorically while I glared at her, blinking hair from my eyes, snorting and making angrily inarticulate sounds through the muzzle, trying to make it clear what I thought of her, her parentage, and what she could do with herself.
She smiled, and I hated her for it as she started stroking my hair, moving it from my eyes.
"I can imagine what you must want to be able to say to me, but that guard has to say in. Harsh words and screaming fits don't hurt a thing, but we can't have you trying to bite staff, and judging from what I've seen in the past and what I'm seeing right now, I'd have to bet you're the kind of Mare to bite, and bite deep."
I snarled through the 'guard' as she'd called it and tried turning my face away, only to have my jaw clamped firmly by fingers like steel.
"You're going to learn one way or another, sooner or later, who's in control Marlene--and it isn't you. Your life isn't yours any longer, and hasn't been since our contractors picked you up. We can do whatever we like to you, whenever we like...and have. That uncomfortable sensation in your coochie? Where do you think that came from? The restraints...how much has your struggling helped you? Zip, exactly zip-nada. You're producing a great deal of milk, girl, and who do you think is making sure you're kept comfortable? That's right, all those facts of life and many more aren't yours to concern yourself with. In time you'll realize this because of the ultimate truth, and do you know what that is?" She squeezed on my jawbone, making me hurt and cry into the guard-muzzle.
"The mind adapts. Whether you want it to or not, it adapts. It's a survival trait from evolution. All we have to do is wait, apply the right stimuli or corrections and controls, and soon enough you belong to us--completely."
CHAPTER FOUR
The next time I saw the cruel-mouthed woman, she came in with a pushcart and the usual number of handlers. She addressed me directly, conversationally.
"You'll be pleased to know that we'll be knocking you out far less often now. It's time you became acquainted with how things are done here. Now, we'll still be knocking you slightly out, to make you easier to handle, but you'll still be awake enough to understand what's going on."
She made a casual hand-motion and the handlers descended on me, pinning me easily and helplessly. This time, one had my head trapped between his knees and I was left looking up at his impassive, uncaring face and the woman as I scanned with my blurred vision.
She crouched down, inserting the nozzle of the nasal-spray I'd become accustomed to seeing, waiting for me to stop snorting in defiance, then fired the jet into my skull,
It wasn't entirely unpleasant, a spreading cold-warmth that you could feel sinking into tissues and spreading.
It was more about not having any say in the matter that rankled so badly.
I couldn't see what was happening with the cart, but after firing the spray up my nostril, the woman had gone back to it--I could hear things being done, sounds of plastic and activity.
The drug swept my system, slowing my muscles, nerves, making me feel doped and slow-witted. I could hear, see...but it all seemed distant a bit. Movement took an effort.
The woman was back beside me, holding something, wearing medical gloves. She'd moved the cart closer, I could see it behind-beside her.
The thing she held was a rounded type of fitting with a square-ish part and a curved plate above, and a long, grey tube with a slant-cut end, about the same diameter as my pinkie finger...glistening wetly with some kind of lubricant gel.
Even through the drug-haze, I had a bad feeling and deepening apprehension about what was going to happen. I started trying to struggle, but the drug kept my best efforts damped down and sluggish as she brought the slant-cut end of the horrible-looking tube to my face, then started putting it through the tube-like projection of my guard-muzzle.
I arched my back in horrified protest, trying desperately to get my tongue free enough to try to stop the invasion, feeling it coming through and over the back of my tongue,slick with gel, as I yelled and screamed in frightened, utterly inarticulate and helpless desperation for her to stop...feeling it at the back of my throat and starting smoothly down.
I could hear my screams choked off into vocalized-gurgling, whimpering and gagging around it as my throat was blocked, feeling the tube sliding down my throat like a fat worm, retching slightly as my body tried to save itself from the horrid intrusion.
I writhed and fought with what I could get from my drug-impaired system, feeling as helpless as a fish on a line, able only to struggle uselessly against powers holding my fate out of my hands and volition. Involuntarily, my mind flicked to the ALIEN movies, the facehugger-creatures, and how they forced a tube down people's throats also while they screamed helplessly.
The tube stopped moving down, and I could feel it in my throat as she held the plate-like end, reaching easily up to the cart and bringing a large syringe into view, connecting it to the fitting with a twist-connector.
It occurred to me then what was happening as I saw the contents in the transparent horse-sized syringe.
Force-feeding.
Tears leaked from the sides of my eyes and down the sides of my head as I unconsciously whimpered as best I could with a partially-blocked throat, in abject misery and residual horror at what had been done to me, and how easily.
"Welcome to your new life, Marlene. See what I was saying last time? You're a lucky girl, you don't have to taste this. It's good for you, nutritious and just loaded with all kinds of herbals, too...but the taste would leave something to be desired I imagine from the way it smells." The woman said to me, fitting a squeeze-grip handle to the syringe and adjusting it before squeezing it until it 'clicked' and I watched as the plunger moved in the cylinder, and again, and again....
"You'll feel it in your belly pretty soon. But I'm sorry to say that you'll have to accept having the feeding tube down your throat for the next little while. It seems you're diet needs some slight modification, so smaller but more frequent feedings to ensure best absorption. So, we're going to save ourselves some trouble and leave the feeding tube in for the next little while." My eyes went wide-blown at what she was saying.
I could barely tolerate it now!!
"Before you start getting upset, it saves you a lot of trouble also, or would you prefer to have it put down your throat and removed much more frequently??" She said, responding to the look I was giving her, and I made a small sound of defeat.
"Good girl, you're learning...I decide what happens to you, when, and how much misery you have to endure. This is a luxury cell compared to what some Mares have to endure while they're learning to adapt and be settled down. But, if you test my patience too far, you'll find out how good you've got it right now in hindsight. Fair warning given, now settle down, relax so you can breathe easier around the tube, and let me finish feeding you."
I did as I was told, having options about it...and dreading what they sounded like. She'd called my present situation a 'luxury cell'...which made me wonder how bad 'bad' could actually get, and very determined not to find out.
I tried to relax, to give in to the drug they'd laced me with, and tried very hard to ignore the pulsing sensation of the feeding tube down my throat as the woman pumped the yellowish-white, oily-looking feed into my stomach while I tried not to think about the facehugger-creatures from ALIEN again and realized that I spent too much time watching sci-fi/horror movies.
I woke up later, in pain.
The pain was familiar, and made me groan in knowing what I was in for. Cramps, it felt like a man's hand was cruelly squeezing my womb like a stress-relief ball. I doubled-up on my side as they crescendo-d, waiting for them to begin to recede like the tide coming in and going out.
Then it occurred to me about the timing of the object that had been lodged in my vagina, and the device the woman had been using.
It must have been some kind of medical sensor and monitor, tracking...my fertile time of my cycle.
I squirmed a bit, squeezing my thighs together, noting the absence of the suspected device and the harness that had forced me to retain it, feeling something smaller and much more commonly-familiar lodged within me...but somewhat larger than I normally bought and used.
The sudden sense of desolation was like a nuclear bomb going off for me.
This, more than anything else, told me exactly and precisely how absolutely helpless I was in the hands of my captors. I was allowed to do nothing...not even the most basic personal needs, even those small things had been taken completely out of my control.
I suddenly, again, missed my husband like a knife twisting through my chest. I didn't have much chance to consider him between kept unconscious or in desperate and one-sided battles against various things being done to me.
I would cheerfully have sold my soul right then and there had Satan popped up in a burst of flame just to spend an hour with him...but there was no flame, and no diabolical bargain-maker to deal with.
Just me. Alone, frightened, and feeling 'stolen'.
I tried to think what my husband would do when he found me missing.
I knew him, very well, better than anyone else--including his mother. We had that kind of communication between us, the kind when two people of the right-type for the other are lucky enough to happen across each other.
He'd know I hadn't 'just left'. I'd never do such a thing, having no sane reason for it.
But how could he possibly find me??
And, if he managed that miracle, how could he save me??
I cried myself to sleep again, retching helplessly and uselessly on the still-present feeding tube, trying to hide from reality.
I woke up to a tap on my nose, seeing shoes.
...the same kind of shoes I'd been seeing on all the staff members of the hospital-esque hell I was trapped in.
I heard the cruel-mouthed woman's voice, decided to keep staring at her shoes.
"Marlene, I have some good news!! If you'll cooperate, I'll have the handlers free your legs and I can downgrade you. Instead of wallowing around on the floor, you'll be allowed to walk, not fully free of course, but you'll have much more mobility than you do now."
I nodded, making the motion clear and distinct. the feeding tube was still down my throat, and it was miserable enough to breathe past it--trying to talk led to horrible sensations, choking and gagging.
The cramps were making me miserable enough without my adding to things.
I felt myself surrounded, pinned as usual, but this time on my side, as my legs were held and freed from the anchor straps, something soft was slipped over each foot, then I heard some metallic clicks and my legs were released.
"Want to try standing up?" The woman cajoled me, even as two handlers took my arms and lifted me with no noticeable effort.
I got my feet under me, looking down, I saw snug-fitting ankle-socks in white. My ankle cuffs had been attached to each other with a double-layered stiff leather strap a little over a foot long.
There was no way I'd be able to kick, run, or fight...but I did have the ability to move around now.
The woman was about six-inches shorter than myself, and she'd looked like a giant from the floor...in my mind I still found her 'gigantic', unassailable.
She smoothed hair from my eyes, checked my restraints and muzzle as she spoke to me.
"I know you're cramping, but analgesics are strictly for genuine need, and women have been dealing with their monthly cramps for millenia without them. Now that you're more mobile, you'll be seeing more of the facility outside your cell. There are some rules you need to know, first." She said, taking and holding my jaw so I couldn't look away.
"You're always being watched, remember that. If you're left alone, for any reason, you stay where you are or you find the nearest Staffing station, you'll learn the way around. No one here is expecting you to be cooperative, so don't think you can fool us by trying to appear such--even the most docile Mare goes off the rails once in a while. Your diet will be monitored and adjusted as needed on a regular basis. You have a long, busy and very productive life ahead of you here and you'll be well cared for whether you want it or not."
She told me this as she felt my breasts, then pressed a flat-palmed, gentle hand to my lower abdomen.
"We won't hurt you, this isn't a place where you'll be abused and tortured. There will be much you'll find embarrassing, humiliating, uncomfortable and outright painful on occasion but that is not the purpose. You have no rights essentially, we have the power of life and death over you, and we will be exercising our rights in keeping you in the best of shape."
She felt my breasts again through the material of the straitjacket as I shifted my arms helplessly.
Seeming to read my mind, she told me something about how I'd been restrained.
"You've noticed this isn't canvas, it's lighter and thinner as well as much smoother. It's a blend of Kevlar and Spectra, the same materials used in military body armor. Canvas has a certain amount of stretch or 'give' due to it's nature and the weaving commonly used in it's manufacture. This doesn't, it has almost zero 'give' or slack so there's nothing for you to use. I'm simplifying the details, but the next time you're awake and being put in one, you'll see all the design improvements yourself. To finish, for the comfort of our Mares and our own convenience, there are two flaps in the front so we can milk you regularly. Yes, hard to see from your angle, but they're there. Don't worry Marlene, you're in good hands here."
She smiled up at me, stroking my hair in a manner I guessed she meant to be comforting, and I found so humiliatingly demeaning I would have bit her arm down to the bone if I hadn't been muzzled.
CHAPTER FIVE
The 'tour' was informative...and frightening.
I figured out quickly that the socks had traction grips in the soles so I wouldn't slip on the polished floors. The handlers never let go of me, but I was otherwise as free to look around and learn as much as was possible. The cruel-mouthed woman kept up with information.
The hallways were very wide, greyish-black gleamingly-polished floors, and the walls were slightly elliptical with evenly-spaced wide doorways slightly recessed into the walls, and as we passed I noticed each had a bar code and a console beside the door with a small screen.
Even having only the same rough level of engineering knowledge as any other ordinary person I knew just from looking this wasn't some slapped-together place.
The doors looked heavy, with steel kick plates and very solid-looking grab-handles and latches using a squeeze-mechanism instead of a thumb-lever.
I was taken past a Staffing station, set into a rounded corner of an intersection, with five tough-looking woman behind it and a couple of handlers discussing something about other Mares...and 'Bulls'.
I also heard the term 'Studs' and wondered at the differentiation...but from what I heard about 'Bulls' I didn't want any part of them.
"Marlene, you're going to be scheduled for insemination soon, and you need to know that there's a difference between 'Studs' and 'Bulls'. You'll never have to worry about a Bull on you, they're too dangerous to let near any woman. Studs, they still have a decent sense of self-control, and that's what you'll be matched to." She said, plainly reading the look on my face.
"Now, Studs are restrained also, and some are fairly aggressive, but don't worry. You won't be alone when your Stud mounts and takes you. Now, the Stud will have more physical freedom than you will, obviously...we can't let you be capable of any meaningful resistance tactics. If you cooperate, you can make it much nicer for yourself, but if you really make it difficult, you'll be locked and held in a breeding frame."
I grunted as sharp cramps made themselves known again, doubling me slightly and being steadied by the handlers, reflexively trying to reach for my lower abdomen and stopped utterly by the straitjacket's hold.
She stroked my hair, speaking comfortingly.
"Bad, hmmm? I can't give you painkillers, but how's about a heat-pack to take the edge off??"
I nodded, willing to accept that much help, she patted me on the shoulder and walked around the Staffing station's counter and came back, unwrapping a heat-pack belt. She squeezed the activator stud then wrapped it around me, settling it and adjusting it so it was positioned to warm and soothe the area most in need.
It warmed up quick, and the heat penetrated the straitjacket easily, flooding comfortingly into my lower belly. I felt begin to relax somewhat as the heat spread, the woman stroking my hair comfortingly, and although it was a hated touch from a thoroughly despicable person, but when pain is suddenly lessened we're all vulnerable emotionally for a short time.
"Better, hmmm? See, we're not monsters here. There's a reason all this is happening, and has been happening for a long time. How did you think we came by our experience in handling you so well? In knowing how you'd react to various things even before you yourself knew?"
The woman said to me, letting me luxuriate in the relief from the gut-pulling cramps for a minute before continuing.
"Now, my tender-haunched Mare, it's time you were shod." She said and the handlers began guiding me along again as she took the lead. I was curious about the others she'd referred to, and as to why I hadn't seen any yet. Every time I moved my head, the tube down my throat reminded me of it's loathsome, unwanted presence...it also discouraged any efforts at issuing soundings that served me as the closest I had to speech.
I knew they were caring for my teeth, and very well, but the only times they could seemed to be after knocking me out with a nasal spray. I'd wake up, feeling an incredibly 'clean; taste and sensation in my mouth--with the guard-muzzle in place.
Trips to the toilet were matter-of-fact, and I'd learned that a concealed door in the wall of my cell held a very utilitarian-designed facility complete with a shower stall.
The fuzzy memories I had seemed very dreamlike, but I distinctly recalled being held spread-eagle, standing, in restraints while being lathered and washed down.
As much as I loathed and hated my captors, there was no shortage of care.
But that was because I was something valuable to them.
As the woman had mentioned...I was going to be scheduled for insemination, I was going to be forcibly impregnated against my will and despite any protests or resistance I could put up.
The thoughts of that swirled in my mind and I kept shoving them away, feeling a helpless apprehensive horror about it.
Thoughts of being thrown into a padded cell, still locked in the straitjacket, but my intimate regions left open and available to a leering, sexually-starved male with a horse-like penis crowded my thoughts.
I'd be able to resist, but no more than providing some entertainment for the 'Stud' before being caught, mounted and feeling unwanted ejaculate flooding inside me despite my screams and struggles.
I followed along numbly, walking as best I could with my ankles tethered.
A few doors down and she opened one, the handlers taking me inside. Looking around I could see chairs, with obstetrics-table like braces positioned for the thighs and restraining belt-wraps at hip-waist level, canted slightly backward.
They were against a wall, and the other wall was home to cubbyhole style receptacles with objects in them I couldn't readily identify in milky-white plastic.
I was taken to a seat, made to sit, and the soft but strong restraining wrap secured with Velcro was snugged around my lower waist and hips while the handlers held me from getting up.
Each handler then took hold of a leg as the woman released my ankles, lifting them up a short ways and into the cold plastic-coated braces where she locked them in with a snug-fitting restraint-wrap like that holding me in the chair.
"Now, be a good girl, and we'll get you fitted with some more appropriate footwear." The woman said to me as she unlocked and removed the restraint cuffs from my ankles, then peeled off the socks.
Tossing them aside into a bin, she went to a cubby hold and removed what immediately became apparent as a set of boots and small electric screwdriver-like device.
As she came back, I could easily see the boots, and didn't like the looks one bit.
High-heeled, high enough for make walking slightly difficult and running almost impossible. They were built like medical devices, loaded with holes throughout the foot-covering stirrup for ventilation, and two shaped risers came up from the stirrup and the back of the sole to ride along the front and back of the leg.
Regularly-spaced half-inch wide circlets were attached to the risers, each having a small round metal eye with some kind of lock. I could see heavily-built, sturdy-looking attachment points like the ones on the restraining cuffs built into the inside and outside of the ankle-area circlets.
I behaved myself, letting her slip the boots on me, noting they came up to just below my knees, and watched as she used the power-driver in the side of the sole, adjusting the tautness of the stirrup and in the eyes of the circlets to snug them down inescapably, a tongue of unused length appearing from the hard-to-see locking mechanisms. A clipper on the end of the driver-tool clipped the heavy plastic tongues away with loud 'snap!' sounds.
The boots felt odd, but weren't uncomfortable in any genuinely physical manner. I looked them over with morbid curiosity and dread as she removed the cellphone-like device from her pocket and worked with it's screen.
"Okay Marlene, these are hot boots. They're not called that from the fetish-y appearance but because of the devices built into them that can stop you in your tracks if you try to run, fight, or try wandering into areas where good girls shouldn't. Each boot can discharge a taser, at variable discharge settings and conditions into the soles of your feet. Now, the lowest setting will have you hopping around like someone's holding a lit match to your feet, and the full-power setting, well...it's ten thousand volts. If I set them to keep you from certain areas, you'll get a warning tingle if you get near them and a suitably corrective shock if you persist. I can also set them to keep you from getting out of a chair, weight-sensitive, if they detect a percentage of your weight that I specify, they can discharge whatever I deem necessary as suitable to dissuade you from being disobedient." She touched her control's screen and a small LED flashed once blue, then red on the inside edge of the sole.
"They're armed now, and set for default Mare Training. In short, you'll be allowed some additional freedoms to wander as you can now be brought down with the press of a button. For the next little while, they're set low, which means you'll be given warnings, and be able to appreciate by extrapolation what the corrective and incapacitation settings will do." The woman told me in a very direct, no-nonsense manner, held my eyes for a bit, then after I looked away in defeat the handlers freed my legs, leaving my ankles untethered.
"Take it easy for a while, you'll have to learn how to get around in those, and the handlers will keep you from falling." The handlers unfastened my hips and got me standing, and I staggered a bit unsteadily on the new heels, the floor seeming rather distant due to my sudden, abrupt change in height perspective. I noticed immediately the non-slip traction on the soles, but even with that, trying to run in the disablingly high-heeled footwear was a bad idea..
"Walk around, try them out." The woman ordered me, and the handlers began semi-leading, but more 'spotting' me against a fall. They were as bad as I'd expected, and while I was long-accustomed to wearing high heeled footwear, these things were something else entirely. They weren't meant for fashion, they were meant to allow but simultaneously restrict mobility...and did that quite well. I staggered, stumbled, and learned how to walk in them, catching sight of myself in a full-length mirror I hadn't noticed before.
The woman came over standing behind me and smiling as I stared at myself in shock.
"Yes, that's you, our newest Mare. We've found that letting the Mares discover a mirror on their own so they can see themselves freshly-shod and becoming more compliant mentally really helps boost the acclimatization process alone nicely." She explained to me, toying with my hair.
It was me, but in a way I didn't want to believe, to see, to accept.
The straitjacket fit perfectly--so perfectly that it had to have been made and tailored specifically. White, with a very soft gleam to the synthetic fiber materials that it was composed of. My forearms were trapped in two separate tube-like loops and I could plainly see the restraint cuffs with their cream-colored padding secured at my upper arms near the elbows riding in their wide belt-loop like holders...and feel similar ones snug around my wrists.
Even if I could get my arms loose, I wouldn't be able to get my arms out of the sleeves, they'd still be trapped inside, where I'd be hampered by the loose jacket and unable to use my hands. Looking down, I could see the flaps they could open to expose my breasts to pump me. I'd missed them earlier thinking they'd only been fitted cups set into the material after it's main construction. But from the feel, there was definite support for my breasts--a built-in Nursing bra.
Between the upper arm cuffs was a tether strap, a permanent part of the jacket that the cuffs were attached to, preventing me from moving my arms outward, pulling at the sleeves. The sleeves themselves, like a typical straitjacket, had straps on the ends that met and secured at your back. I turned slightly, trying to see the back of the restraining device that seemed I'd been wearing forever...
The high, firm, collar fit close but not snug around my neck, From there, was a four-inch wide fold open fabric panel running down my spine with an evenly-spaced number of bulges under it that I could only assume to be locking devices, keeping it secured around me.
The snug crotch-piece fit like a wide thong-style bikini bottom and the bottom edge of the jacket had been scoop-cut at the hips slightly in an ergonomic design.
From the back, I could see how the back of the crotch piece secured smoothly, and a wide length from it went up and under the fold-open panel along my back.
The lack of obvious buckles made me think 'velcro'.
Not a 'one-size-fits-all' article, definitely.
Perfectly-sized, snug-fitting, and designed to be inescapable while preventing any ability to injure myself by dislocating a joint like a stage magician.
There I was, looking at myself in fascinated horror.
The tube-like projection of the guard-muzzle sticking out of the reinforced hole in the soft, wide canvas strap secured around my head to ensure I couldn't expel it, and at it's end the fastening-connector for the feeding tube still lodged down my throat. The straitjacket, with it's cup-flaps containing my FF breasts, waist narrowing smoothly to my round and full childbearing hips, and tapering into my long legs...and my lower legs now locked in the most fiendishly-conceived restraints.
I was close enough to the mirror that the lack of my glasses wasn't much of an impairment, and I could make out all the details in stark clarity under the merciless lighting in the room.
The cruel-mouthed woman smiled and patted me on my left ass-cheek, the unwanted semi-intimate contact making me shift my stance and footing reflexively.
"Now do you see how it is? Yes, this was made expressly for you and there are more aside from this one, including ones you can wear when your belly's getting big and round. You're here to stay, Marlene so you're going to have to accept it. You've had a good chance to look yourself over now, how would you possibly escape?? You can't. Soon, you're going to be pregnant as well, and believe me when I tell you that pregnant Mares are under minute-to-minute observation in case they have difficulties or get into mischief."
I looked at her, tears starting again, not wanting to admit defeat and wanting to scream such into her face. I tried to speak, choked on the tube and gave up.
"Still defiant, hmmm? Good. I enjoy working with Mares that are hard to break. But eventually, Marlene, you're going to wake up in your cell with a beautifully rounded belly, and realize you have lost--that you lost this battle the moment we spotted you and tagged you for acquisition."
CHAPTER SIX
The new freedom was gradual in coming.
They wouldn't let me go far until I learned how to maneuver in the hot boots. Once I learned that, they had me wander through a maze-like room that had 'warning' zones.
I learned quickly that even the very low-level tingler-setting was unpleasant enough to get your full attention...and quash your curiosity about a given area quite effectively.
I was fitted with knee pads that fit snugly, and once set in position had a skin-gripping interior that along with the sports-type stretch fabric kept them from slipping down.
I had no idea why until I strayed into a Restricted Zone, and the boots zapped me with enough power to drop me right to me knees immediately.
From that point on, I was much more careful about areas marked with red and black stripe-bordered sign plates with a big red 'R' on the floor at the entryways.
The cruel-mouthed woman became a completely-regular fixture in my life, and as much as I hated her, loathed her and kept as much distance as possible between us...so long as I was in restraints, I needed her.
Handlers were just that, handlers. They weren't allowed to do anything with a Mare except restrain, protect and assist Supervisors in dealing with uncooperative Mares. Little by little I was learning more about how things worked, and also how vanishingly slim my chances of escape or rescue were.
The nasal sprays were less and less powerful, now only being strong enough to take the edge off my resistance and anger, slow me down, and give them a definite edge over me...as if they still needed such.
I wasn't ready to capitulate and submit, and never would be, but as I became more accustomed to things, they were of course less frightening.
And, less resistance, or less strenuous resistance, had benefits in being treated less harshly.
Once you've had a feeding tube lodged down your throat, interfering with your breathing, strangling any efforts at even inarticulate soundings for a week or longer...having it removed and being fed through a dispenser that pumped the feed into your mouth for you to swallow more-or-less voluntarily was a real sense of liberation.
I learned that the level I was on was the Acquisition-Intake level, and as I saw more and more of it, I started seeing other Mares.
I'd arrived during a relatively quiet period, and had been the only new Mare taken in a while I'd learned.
One thing every Mare had in common was a figure appropriate to having children. I'd heard years ago about the 'Optimum Hip-Waist Ratio', and seriously doubted the ones who called the shots here would miss something like that in their criteria.
The first new Mare I saw was a woman who looked eighteen to nineteen, taking her own unsteady steps in a pair of hot boots with a handler on either side as she was forced to learn how to walk in them as I had been. She was muzzled, the same as myself, eyes wide and terror-stricken, tear stains visible down the sides of her face. East Indian, I guessed from her looks, but quite fair-skinned. The straitjacket she wore was the same design as my own, and very obviously made-to-order also.
I saw others, of various Ethnicities...and that translator apps were being used by some of the Supervisors on their controllers, I guessed this hellish place had a global reach.
I woke up in my cell once to the cruel-mouthed woman's shoes by my head, feeling the aftereffects of a powerful nasal-spray knockout.
"Marlene, you've been approved for free-range exercise. But, there are some things you need to know about first." She said as the handlers got me to my feet, standing unsteadily on the padded floor in the high-heeled boots.
Something felt different, but I was still too half-stunned to work it out.
"Free-range exercise means being allowed to get out of that control jacket regularly and get some proper exercise. Yes, we have a nicely equipped fitness area, but we can't have our Mares causing trouble. You'll remain muzzled, and you'll soon discover a device that's been fitted around and behind your ears and bonded to the skin over the mastoid bone and local area. It's sort of like a cellphone earpiece, but it allows us to monitor everything you try to say and hear, also it's a correctional device. You can examine it with your fingers, and it's not coming off without the right solvents, or surgery. If you try tampering with it too much, you'll encounter it's defense systems, and while completely harmless, it certainly won't feel that way."
She held up a small, plastic-wrapped package of some kind of clothing.
"Thong panty, half-top and adhesive supports for those impressive breasts of yours. We'll take you the exercise area and you can change there." She told me.
It took a little while to shake off the after-effects of the knock-out spray they'd shot me up with earlier. It was a good thing the handlers were there, as the heels of the boots combined with the narcotic after-effects made things awkward for me to say the least, staggering around and kept from falling over mainly due the attention and holds of my handlers.
There was a good amount of walking, and an elevator ride, about ten minutes I guessed to get there.
Access was a large, wide solid-looking door opened by hand-scan using a console by the door.
By the time we arrived, I'd shaken-out the aftereffects and could walk as normally as the boots allowed.
I was really starting to hate them, the way they hampered and handicapped me--true to their design-intentions. But I'd have to learn how to deal with them as best I could, it'd been made very clear that Mares were not allowed to run around unshod.
More and more, it was becoming apparent that escape wasn't likely.
Maximum-security Prisons had less security.
That's what this facility was, it occurred to me, a prison of sorts, and if you'd been found 'guilty' by reason of being desirable based on certain criteria, it was a Life Sentence.
Inside the Exercise Area was an immensely cavernous space, complete with a running track. A full athletics field and a small ocean of exercise equipment, under a reinforced roof structure and openly lit in a way that seemed to perfectly replicate sunlight. There was greenery, the smell of plants and such...
A completely disheartening scale of construction and permanency.
I also noticed a total lack on any enclosures, any locations to use to hide.
I looked around, seeing other women, Mares, working out on machines, doing aerobics--albeit modified to account for the incapacitating footwear. Well over a dozen, and all dressed alike.
Every woman wore a thong-style panty, hot boots, a greyish half-top and from the minimized jiggling of their busts I could only presume they all had the same kind of breast supports the woman had mentioned.
The woman, my Supervisor, started opening the clothing package as the handlers began releasing me from the straitjacket. I heard a lot of heavy Velcro-sounds, especially when the arm strap was released, felt the back-panel opened to a Velcro-sound and heard several metallic solid-sounding 'click' sounds, then a zipper opening. My arm cuffs were unlocked and they helped me shrug out of the loathsome thing.
I stood there, naked aside from the boots, trying reflexively to cover myself and feeling something around my neck.
I reached up, feeling smooth fabric, metal and plastic riding my neck snugly but nowhere enough to threaten breathing or circulation.
"Vital signs monitor, remember my telling you how we were monitoring your brain activity? Also you're heartrate, pulse-strength, respiratory cycle and blood oxygenation. It's like those finger-clip things in hospitals, less primitive though, and it's cells are charged through body heat on a repetitive cycle, so no down-time"
I listening to the cruel-mouthed woman, feeling her eyes on me, looking me over appraisingly as if I belonged to her.
I felt around my ears...
Thin, sculpted metal and ceramic, riding the skin around my ears. I experimentally tried moving one, and discovered it might as well have been an inherently natural part of my body, it was bonded so well.
The woman held out the thong-panty to me and the handlers took my shoulders to steady me as I slid it on and up, grateful for the minimal covering, then accepted the loose-fitting half-top.
"These breast supports are a bit tricky, You hold those gorgeous breasts up and I'll place them." The woman said, lifting the top to expose my breasts.
I did as told, lifting them, with some milk drops forming on my nipples, which got a smile from the woman.
"Before you ask, these are designed so we can make sure you're looked after." She said, positioning the soft silicone-like sculpted material under my breasts, made some slight adjustments then motioned for me to let my breasts settle.
"Wiggle, side-to-side, that'll get things settled. As you can feel, there's varying degrees of firmness in them, some areas are just like skin, others like cartilage. In a minute or so, you'll forget you're wearing them." I did, again, as told, feeling slightly ridiculous--but she knew what she was talking about and my breasts settled perfectly into the soft cups when I straightened back up.
I still felt horribly exposed, squirming my thighs together self-consciously and keeping an arm across my breasts.
At least the straitjacket gave the feeling of better coverage.
The heat pack was re-secured around me, bringing what relief it could.
"Go ahead, you're pretty much off-leash here. You will receive instructions from the Fitness Supervisor and you are to obey those without question or hesitation. Aside from that, walk around, get some exercise, try out some of machines..." The cruel-mouthed woman said to me.
At a sudden thought I reached up and behind my head where the fastenings for the security strap holding my guard-muzzle in place would be.
I could feel smoothness, as if things had almost been welded together.
"Sorry, Marlene. We can't have our Mares removing their muzzles, can we? It's Velcro, a new type that uses an electrostatic molecular-adhesion process to prevent unauthorized removal." The woman said, coming closer as I tried to find a way to remove it, and realized quickly how pointless my efforts were.
"Now go on, meet some of the other Mares." She said encouragingly, lightly slapping my rump to send me off, bringing a mild flush of embarrassed anger to my face, but I did as instructed and started walking unsteadily across the short grass towards a nearby cluster of women.
Blondes, Brunettes, Asians, Blacks, Caucasians...there was no discrimination evident even in just this small group, and I could see more in the distance.
Women from the Middle East, the Slavic countries also, at a guess...
All dressed as I was. All young, beautiful, evidently healthy and with the right physique as I'd suspected, being pretty good at measuring things accurately by eye.
All of them had the same hip-waist ratio, or extremely close it.
All of us were muzzled, unable to communicate in more than inarticulate soundings and non-vocal means.
I was shyly keeping my distance, but welcomed with warm eyes and nods, hands touching my shoulders gently as they seemingly tried to give me some comfort in shared camaraderie. One blond placed her hand gently on my lower abdomen, looking at me questioningly.
I figured she was asking if I was pregnant, and shook my head. She in turn held her own belly, and nodded. As did all but two of them in the small group I was with, and noticed that some were starting to show slightly, the first gentle roundness of pregnancy.
I felt slightly dizzy when it hit like a hammer to the top of my head that I was looking at my own immediate future.
I looked around, slightly startled to see a couple of models I'd seen in magazine ads for perfumes and such, and a few porn stars who'd been reported dead in a boating accident recently, also some fetish and non-nude models I'd seen around on the web and on the covers of men's magazines.
The reach of whoever operated this facility was comprehensive, intimidatingly so.
No woman was safe from them if they wanted her. They had the impunity to reach out like a dark claw and simply pluck whoever they wanted from the world.
The small group took me around the area, showing me things I needed to know.
Something of a more direct dumb-show method of demonstration as none of us could speak because of our muzzles.
The watering stations mounted on poles that were evenly spaced around the area, as example.
Easy to operate, you held onto the grab-bars sticking off the sides, put the guard-muzzle's projecting tube into a hole, there was a 'click' as it was locked and held, and a tube was put through it into your mouth, allowing you to suck as much water as you wanted. Getting away from it was easy, all you had to do was take your hands off the grab-bars mounted beside it. Your muzzle-tube was unlocked from it and you were free to go back to whatever you'd been doing.
I decided that I needed more practice on the handicapping boots locked onto me and stepped onto a treadmill. One thing I noticed immediately was that it was surrounded with a wide area of soft padding, and the control pedestal was not just padded but would collapse and bounce back like an oversize flexible runner car antenna. All the machines were modified towards ensuring the safety of those of us using them...and there was absolutely nothing around you could use as a weapon.
Not even a suggestion of free-weights of any kind.
The closest I saw was one Mare, young-twenties, brunette and being followed by two handlers. I noticed the weights locked around her ankles and wrists, but her hands encased in things that looked like overstuffed boxing gloves but without thumbs or the ability to open the hand.
Restraining devices combined with exercise I guessed. There was no way imaginable she could use her hands, even as effective fists from the soft-foam look of the heavy padding, and the weights seriously slowed her and made it more than a bit of effort to raise her arms.
I and the rest of my little group watched them pass, then looked around at each other with the same sentiment clear to each other in our faces and eyes...determined not to end up on the receiving end of such.
After a while of being allowed to roam around, get to know each other in a limited fashion, and get some exercise I heard a voice in my head, as if someone had suddenly turned my skull into an opera theatre.
It was only conversationally loud, but impossible to ignore...and from the startled looks on some of the other girls I could tell they were hearing the same.
"Exercise period has expired. You will stop activity, stand clear of all machines and equipment, and seat yourselves on the grass. You will be under Warning until your Supervisors come to re-secure you and escort you back to your cells."
I noticed that the girls who didn't look all that surprised wasted no time in complying and followed their example, also noticing that none of the ones seemingly 'in-the-know' allowed the soles of their boots to take any weight at all after sitting down, straight-legged, arms behind them for support as if on a beach somewhere else.
My suspicions were confirmed as soon as the first girl sat down and took the weight off her boots. There was a 'chirp' and an amber-colored flashing LED started pulsing at each side and the toe of each boot.
I took the warning at face-value, but one new arrival either didn't think it applied to her or forgot...
The instant she put enough weight on one foot, she yelped sharply through her guard-muzzle and fell over onto her side from the crouch she'd gotten half-into as a way of standing up, continuing to yell and moan while clutching uselessly at the foot that'd been shocked. The rest of us stayed where we were, as she hadn't been injured, the voice had specified 'Warning' level, more-or-less and none of us were interested in getting our own feet zapped from either accidentally putting weight on our boots or finding out what kind of remote activations would be employed.
None of us were happy about it, especially as we all began realizing then how our behaviour was being forcibly modified into docility or at least apprehensive compliance.
In due course, our respective Supervisors came for us, and Handlers got us quickly and expertly back into the straitjackets after each of us was given a mildly-incapacitating nasal-spray. One of the new girls fought, was seized, held down on her belly, and her Supervisor dialled the spray unit up before straddling her, locking her chin into her elbow in a headlock and forcing the soft- rubbery nipple-like spray heads into her nostrils over her angrily-shrilling yells of defiance. Within seconds, she was quiet, semi-conscious, and an example had been made.
The cruel-mouthed woman checked my restraints over, especially the strap holding my guard-muzzle in place while speaking to me.
"There's my good girl! No trouble from you now, eh?" She patted my rump cheek in a manner that was more than slightly possessive, and slightly caressing. I squirmed under the touch, blinking at her in slightly-surprised mild outrage, but kept quiet as she moved some hair from my eyes.
"Such a beautiful Mare, but I can see what you're thinking Marlene, it's in the backs of your eyes. Well, you'll have an opportunity to work all that recalcitrance and obstinacy out of your system pretty soon. Now, come along, you've got an appointment for a checkup." She said, as the handlers started guiding me along.
CHAPTER SEVEN
'Check-up'.
Something in the way her eyes looked at me gave me a sinking feeling, and a feeling that I'd soon come to dread those words more than anyone living in the normal world had cause to.
I noticed the handlers had hold of me only enough to suddenly grab me if, say, I stumbled on the footwear I'd been locked into. They were 'spotting' me, not actively controlling me.
I soon found out why.
Back out in the main corridor, there was a voice in my head, as like earlier.
Quiet, solid-sounding, the voice on Unquestionable Authority, it made me think of bedrock, mountains, and other eternal and unyielding things.
"Proceed down the corridor until you reach the fourth intersection." The voice said. I did as I was told, and managed a decent pace given my unfamiliarity with the boots. I noticed cameras, small ones, all over the ceiling of the corridor, and a few were tracking me smoothly. I listened, hearing the 'Tap-Tap-Tap' of my own heels on the polished floor, and distant sounds I couldn't readily identify.
The soft-soled shoes of the handlers and the woman made so little sound I had the sense they were there, that there was a 'sound', but nothing I could consciously detect.
The place smelled, for lack of a better word, 'clean', with a slight tang of ozone in the air. I noticed that along the ceiling were massive air cleaners, silently working, judging from the indicator streamers from their outlets.
Whatever this place was, it hadn't been built cheaply or without a great deal of detailed planning. I couldn't imagine the money, power and influence behind something like this. It didn't have a 'government' feel, but I was just guessing based on precious little real info and gut-instinct.
For all I knew, it could be the government's best-kept secret.
Breeding??
Why?
There were just over seven billion people on the planet already, and whoever had built this place wanted more??
This wasn't some sick pervert's lair, nothing this scale could have been done without an uncountable billions of dollars worth of resources, and things were too...clinical for it to be some twisted game.
There was a reason and a will behind this place, it's conception and construction. There was no doubt in my mind about it.
I arrived at the intersection, and was so lost in thought I would have kept going if The Voice hadn't chimed in.
"Stop. Turn and proceed down the corridor to your left until you come to the next intersection." I was surprised, and stumbled slightly, caught from falling by the handlers, and once I was reasonably sure-footed again, they loosened their grips.
I felt grateful to them, and just barely managed to stop myself from giving them a look that would communicate such.
They were my captors, more or less. They were the ones who'd held me down, struggling and screaming, while things had been done to me that I never would have agreed to. They weren't helpers to me, they were living instruments of forceful coercion.
They were alert-enough looking for me to know they weren't lobotomized or drugged...probably 'just doing their jobs'.
Same excuse people throughout history had used in defense of their willing service to cruelty and torture.
The voice spoke again, with a slight tone of urgency.
"Stop. Submit to your handlers." I heard, then the handlers were dragging me against the wall and shielding me just as I came to a halt. The cruel-mouthed woman was checking her device, and the handlers looked ready for a fight, and displayed combat stances that had nothing to do with Martial Arts even to my untrained eyes.
Each had pulled a short, black rod from under their uniform tops, and with a loud 'crack' sound each telescoped out into a nasty-looking weapon.
Okay, I was being protected, but from what??
What did they have running around down here that could get that kind of response??
I found out soon enough when an animalistic roar of what I guessed was a mix of rage and something worse.
I could hear sounds of conflict, the sounds of bodies being slammed, hard, into solid surfaces and was suddenly very glad the handlers were there.
At the intersection, I saw a handler come flying through air, obviously having been thrown. His white uniform was drenched in blood, and I could see a hole in the side of his neck even without my glasses, and the motion of pumping blood escaping him.
Another roar, and a woman whom I presumed to be in the same job-description as the cruel-mouthed woman came flying after the handler, screaming and one arm flopping around in a way plainly having nothing to do with natural design and function.
Something was taking people apart, and I was too close for comfort.
A man came into view, and I just wanted to run in a blind panic, but some tiny part of my mind realized that would be suicide.
Huge, easily close to seven feet tall, and his musculature was unbelievable. Massive bone structure, and eyes that were like recessed vision slits in an armored vehicle. He moved like something wild, born to the wildlands where nothing approaching Human culture, civilization or mannerisms existed.
He looked in my direction, and what I saw burning in those eyes as they flared at seeing me was something that iced my heart over and froze the breath in my throat. There was nothing even close to sanity there.
There was nothing Human in them, just a hideous sexual desire, not even animal but darker and dreadful.
Naked, I could all-too-easily see his half-erect cock start rapidly growing hard as fleshy steel, the length at least ten inches and too thick to be something I wanted ramming into me.
I couldn't run--a couple of shifting-steps reminded me clearly of that, and started struggling against my restraints, desperate to get free so I'd have some ghost of a chance at trying to defend myself. I had a galling realization of exactly how helpless I was.
The cruel-mouthed woman stepped smoothly around me, and I saw her reach under her uniform top and remove something.
She stepped between the handlers, and I could see her levelling a small handgun, sleekly designed and purely functional.
All I could do was watch as the Human-looking monster came for me at gathering speed, actually drooling in anticipation of raping me, and things seemed to go slow-motion, and I heard a short, sharp 'Crack!' as a hole appeared right between the oncoming giant's eyes and he dropped like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
I blinked in shock, breathing like a bellows, adrenaline flashing through my system like energy looking for a grounding-point. I'd just watched a man get shot down in cold blood, with every element of deliberacy to the incident.
Other staff came from everywhere, as did medical personnel and started looked after the two injured staff from only a minute earlier. The cruel-mouthed woman turned to me, smiling reassuringly and stroking my hair fondly with her free hand.
"Poor girl, not the most calming thing to be part of." She dug out a nasal sprayer, and I watched her dial it right down to a minimal setting.
"Here, this'll help, hold still." She said, and I did so as she gently put the rounded, soft spray heads into my nostrils, then I felt the low spray-blast spread through my nasal passages. I started feeling a lot calmer from the minimal dosing as it sunk in and spread quickly.
"Now, on your knees." She said, pointing down. I looked at her and she repeated herself, making it an unmistakable command this time.
"Down! On your knees, right now." She said with a definite edge in her tone, and the handlers steadied me as I obeyed, and went down to my knees, glad of the knee pads considering the floor.
I stayed like that, watching the goings on as the two staff were seen to, the woman taken away on a gurney and the handler zipped into a black bag that was also taken away on a gurney.
It 'clicked' then, that I recalled seeing blood on the giant's mouth, and realized then that he'd bitten out the chunk from the handler's neck.
The realization made me shiver, shudder and I realized I was drawing in to myself in a delayed fear reaction, and just went with it. The light tranquilizer dose had smoothed out my adrenaline, but there were still ghosts of my nearly blind-panic in those horrifying moments of terror when he'd been coming for me.
I overheard the term 'Bull' in regards to the man who'd been shot dead, and remembered such being mentioned before to me, and being told that they weren't allowed near Mares.
It was pretty easy to understand 'why', from what I'd seen so recently.
After what felt like maybe half an hour, I was tapped on the head.
"Stand up, on your feet." The woman said, and again I was steadied as I worked around the boot's intentional handicapping of my agility.
I made my way to the intersection I'd been directed to, and the clean-up had been so thorough there was no trace of any disturbance whatsoever.
There was a Staff Station in the corner of the intersection and a woman who could have been a sister to my present 'minder' came out from behind the counter. There were a few others in the station, and a small group of handlers comparing notes about something out of my earshot.
The new woman smiled at the cruel-mouthed woman, took hold of my shoulders.
"I've got her from here. Will you be collecting her or should I get a detail to get her back to her cell?" She asked my usual tormentor.
"I can't say, but you might want to have the detail ready just in case I get hung up with the inquiry. There's going to be hell to pay for that Bull getting loose like that. I'm guessing no one bothered reading my memo about unqualified staffers handling them during transport??" The cruel-mouthed woman said.
"Didn't look like it. What were they thinking? Amateurs have no business handling the Bulls!!" The new woman agreed with the cruel-mouthed woman.
"Well, there's two that have learned their lesson." My semi-constant companion said. "Marlene's all yours, she's slated for a full workup and examinatory inspection. She's pretty well-behaved, but keep an eye on her." The cruel-mouthed woman said, made a casual gesture of departure to the new woman and left with the handlers.
"Marlene. Pretty name and a gorgeous Mare. You're going to be very popular here and very busy, too!" The new woman said cheerfully, walking beside me and guiding me by my shoulders.
I didn't like the implications of what she said, and snorted to express such, tossing my head to once-again get some hair away from my face, and also as a gesture of protest at what she'd said.
All my responses got was an indulgent chuckle.
"You new Mares are all the same. You all think you're going to be the exception to the rule, hold out, resist, and evade what's been planned for you. No, that's not how it's going to be, not at all. Think it over and through for a bit. You don't have any idea where you are, any exits are going to be secure and require ID clearance to get through. You're kept in restraints for the majority of the time, the boots keep you from physically running, additionally they can bring you down anywhere at any time. You're constantly being monitored, and those sleekly discrete devices mounted behind your ears will start modifying your thinking patterns and behaviour very soon once they've finished gathering operational data. They can deliver a form of correctional stimulus that you will find makes it effectively impossible to escape." She said conversationally, as if discussing the weather. She patted my arm, a gesture I guessed was meant to be comforting and consoling.
"Marlene, you'll just have to accept that the reality is that you're old life is over and done with. There's no going back to it, ever, because we won't allow it. You belong here now, to the facility, and you are in service to it. It could have been worse, you know." She said, letting me wonder about that.
In due course we arrived at a set of automatic doors that slid open and she she led me through. I could see a kind of 'reception area' that I didn't like the looks of, and about a dozen other women all restrained as I was with other uniformed minders keeping a watch and talking amongst themselves.
There were no chairs except for staff. Mares had small 'stalls' along the walls. You stayed on your knees with a metal bar attached to the wall that had a padded steel clamp locked around your neck, with you facing the wall. I could see various Mares trying to look around, but the wall panels of each stall's sides prevented any contact with a neighbour and head mobility was quite restricted. More than a few of them were squirming, trying in vain to shift position, and I could easily hear guard-muzzle stifled sobbing and moans of helplessness and despair in apprehension of what was to come.
I watched one young Blonde Mare as she was unlocked and lifted to her feet by her minder.
Her face was extremely pretty, although heavily tear-streaked. Her eyes were wide, scared, and she kept shaking her head in protest while sounding strenuously through the guard-muzzle blocking her mouth. She tried bracing her feet in protesting resistance, and then gave a sticky-sounding squeal of agony and started writhing her head as she was driven to her knees by some force I couldn't readily see.
"That's one of the things I was telling you about." My minder said. "Those devices around your ears can generate something of a sensation that I'm told is impossible to describe, but unbelievably horrible." She finished telling me as she guided me to a waiting stall as I looked on with mounting dread at the blonde.
She quickly stopped shrieking, and sagged physically, seemed to relax as if something had just loosened it's grip on her, in a sense that's just what had happened. She was sobbing, but no longer giving out the nerve-peeling screams.
"Lesson learned." My minder said, smirking as I was in the stall and she told me to kneel.
I did so, unhesitatingly, and faced the wall, swallowing nervously.
The clamp was snug, but not uncomfortably tight, with the bar's mounting locked, it was as solid as if welded to the wall. I thought about what I'd just seen and heard, and couldn't recall ever even hearing of a person being able to make as awful-sounding a series of shrieks and squeals as the blonde girl had.
I had loads of questions and no answers, and the questions themselves were terrifying just by themselves;
What kind of science could be behind the control devices that could do that to a person?
When would I get my own personal taste of the unique sensation spoken of?
What were the Bulls kept for, and why didn't they have control devices fitted to them?
What kind of horrors awaited me for this examination, and why was the blonde so scared?
