Counter Earth Chronicles - The Demon's Slave

Interstitial 4: Trapped By Terror

Day: N/A (eternity)

"Pia! Geff are you there?!" Peyton called out to her colleagues in the darkness.

"Peyton where are we?" Geff asked the leopard cat.

"I don't know." The leader of the Shadow Chasers replied to the sand cat. "It is completely dark. We should be able to see through this with no problem but we can't for some reason."

"Odd the last thing I remember was encountering a being of pure fire and then being encased in stone." Pia said to her friends.

"You're still trying to figure out what we saw and experienced." Peyton said to the skeptic margay.

"Actually we all were encased in stone." Geff commented. "And now we mysteriously are free- but how?"

The leopard cat, margay and sand cat tried to determine where they were from their surroundings- but all the three of them could see was nothing but darkness in all directions.

Peyton decided to try to determine if they were in a room or out in the open. She had Pia and Geff hold her tail as she blindly started walking in one direction- she touched a flat vertical something- a wall. She then moved left trying to determine a perimeter she eventually found another and then another.

"We are in a 20' x 20' room." She announced to the margay and sand cat.

"Or is it a box?" The margay responded. "But the acoustics don't match; our voices should be bouncing off of the walls. This would be so much easier with our tech."

"Hey guys our gear is gone but, I think I have a match." Geff announced.

"It is better than nothing. Lite it." The margay said to the sand cat.

"Eek!!" The three Shadow Chasers said as Geff illuminated the room and they were startled. Standing not five feet in front of them was a red female orangutan.

"Flo Fuller?! You just about took all of my nine lives!" Peyton exclaimed.

"Uh, what are you doing here?!" Pia asked.

"Greetings true believers!" The laid back female said. "You three disappeared during your latest case. Arthur, Minka and I tracked you here and we have come to rescue you!"

"Flo what happened to your clothes?" Peyton asked realizing that orangutan was naked.

"It is a long story." The demon's slave said. "But rest assured your client Steven Cheetah is safe."

"Where is here by the way?" Geff asked trying hard not to look at or admire Flo's exposed chest.

"The realm of fire and magma; it is half way between the world of the living and the world of the dead." Flo said studying the sand cat and his two friends the margay and leopard cat.

"How did that happen?!" Pia asked. "There has to be a reasonable explanation!" The Shadow Chaser's skeptic declared.

"Um, yeah, Mr. Cheetah's house and property were cursed." Flo said nonchalantly. "The deceased liked to hang out there, in fact inside the house was a gateway, a portal to this place."

"Which is where we are now. Got it!" Pia said to the naked orangutan.

"That explains how we got here, now let's leave." Peyton said. "Flo can you show us the way out?"

"I am afraid that it is not that simple." Flo said to the three Shadow Chasers.

"Why not?" Geff asked.

"When you entered this place you did so without permission and against its ruler's wishes and thus greatly angered him." Flo said.

"Who is this place's ruler?" Geff asked.

"I think you already know." The naked she beast responded abruptly.

"That was the fire creature we encountered." Pia said.

"He punished you for your transgression." Flo continued.

"That was why we were entombed in that rock." Peyton concluded.

"And he refuses to allow you to return to your realm." The female orangutan said staring at the three from the light of the match Geff was holding.

"We must speak to him! It wasn't intentional!" Peyton exclaimed.

"Yes if we could talk to him we could then apologize." Pia said.

"Or beg his forgiveness." Geff added.

"He is well aware of your remorse and regret and doesn't care." Flo said showing a tad of indifference.

"Wait, wait doesn't that mean you Arthur and Minka are stuck here as well?" Peyton said.

"The hedgehog and monkey were allowed to return to the realm of the living and the orangutan orchestrated their return." The naked slave girl said crossing her arms.

"Um guys." Geff said to the leopard cat and margay. Peyton and Pia looked at the sand cat. "I do not know who that is, but that is not Flo Fuller."

"Not bad Geff Geoffroy." The red orangutan said snickering. "But if you were truly an effective sensitive you would have seen through my ruse a long time ago."

"Who are you?" Pia asked the laughing orangutan.

"I am the overlord of this place; its ruler." The orangutan said as it morphed into the fire being the trio had met earlier.

"It's you." Peyton said as the light from the creature illuminated the room they were in.

"Please, sir we are sorry for any inconvenience and irritation we may have caused you." Geff said losing his objectivity. "All we want to do is return home."

"No." Diamantopoulous said abruptly. "I decided that I like having you here."

With that the fire being approached each of the Shadow Chasers studying them carefully.

"Peyton Palla you are their leader. Interesting- you fear being possessed by that which you are studying." The fire being said as he entered the leopard cat's body.

*WHOOSH*

"Get out! Get out! No! Stop!" Peyton screamed as she felt something dark take over her.

"Hmm... not bad. Agile body, supple young mind, soft genitals... breasts are small though." Diamantopoulous said turning to the margay and sand cat. "Ah Pia Pampa the skeptic. Your deepest darkest fear is that you will encounter a situation where you won't be able to explain the unexplained. Like now. Care to offer and explanation little margay?"

Pia looked at the thing that was inside her friend's body. The same thing that had assumed the form of Flo Fuller earlier.

"I.... I... can't." Pia said trembling.

"Well dwell on it for a little bit longer, I will get back to you." Diamantopoulous said moving on to the sand cat. "Geff Geoffroy you are scared of being entombed in small spaces like that rock I put the three of you in. You hid your terror quite well from your friends."

Geff felt a weird motion as he looked at his possessed friend. He then realized he was sinking; the ground was enveloping him.

"Aiiee!!!" He screamed.

Diamantopoulous still in the body of the young leopard cat then walked back to the skeptic. "Ms. Pampa?"

"You can change your shape at will, possess the bodies of those against theirs, bend and alter reality. I... can't explain it.... you must be one very extremely powerful creature." The margay concluded.

"Ding! Ding! Winner!" The fire being said as he left Peyton's body and stopped Geff from sinking into the ground.

"Phew!" Geff said dropping to his knees. He was joined by Pia and Peyton who did the same. "Please sir! Please forgive us! Please let us leave here and go home!"

The fire being crossed his arms as he studied the remorseful trio. "While, I was initially angered at the invasion I decided that I liked having a few of you mortals around. The answer is no."

"Wait, wait, wait!" Peyton gasped. "If you weren't going to let us leave then why did your free my friends and me from that rock?!"

The fire creature's face became visible to the leopard cat, margay and sand cat. The trio could actually see its eyes, nose and a mouth that formed into a demonic grin as the being replied-

"I was merely exchanging one prison for another." Diamantopoulous said stepping backward as the room Peyton, Pia and Geff were in shrunk to a size of a palm held black cube.

The fire being resumed the form of the dark wolf as he held the black cube in his paw. As he looked down on it he could clearly hear the screams of the terrified Shadow Chasers being imprisoned within.

"I do enjoy tormenting the living." The wolf demon laughed.

EARLIER....

"So hot. OW." The orangutan slave girl said as she followed one of her master's minions into the wilderness outside of his tower.

"Really? The realm is experiencing a rather wonderful warm spell and it is a nice time to take a walk." A long lithe quadrupedal dark feline said to the demon's slave. "But if you would rather resume your labors in the tower..."

"You know, like, it isn't that bad out here when you get used to it." Flo said as she walked by a searing pool of magma. She could literally feel the heat emanating from it. "Thanks for thinking of me."

"That's alright, I needed someone for the physical labor." The dark cat said giving her and indignant stare.

"Um, so like what are we doing out here?" Flo said looking at the black feline who resembled a panther.

"Diamantopoulous wants us to fetch some property of his and bring it back to him."

"Is it like far?"

"Having trouble keeping up slave?" The minion said taunting her.

"Yes sir." The naked she beast said. "My body is a bit sore."

Diamantopoulous.... had been especially cruel to her as of late- tormenting his orangutan slave by forcing her to face her deepest darkest fears just to cure his own boredom. Flo learned that her personal fear of intimacy was baseless and unfounded. The wolf demon had shown her that intimacy was wonderful, joyous, outstanding and fantastic- with the right person.

But the dark being took it to the extreme- foreplay, seduction, impregnation, conception, pregnancy, labor and birthing of his offspring twenty seven times in a row! No sooner had the female orangutan pushed out a baby, the dark being would cast it a side and ejaculate into her impregnating her again. She would feel his offspring grow inside her womb and be forced to carry it to term before going into labor and experiencing a painful birth and then the cycle would start over again. A single pregnancy for an orangutan lasted 274 days and she was forced to give birth twenty seven times. If she were in the realm of the living right now, twenty years would have passed between the first birth and the last. Thank goodness it was only a dark illusion for her master's amusement. But it seemed awfully real, painfully real especially the births.

The she beast now had a pretty good idea what it felt like to experience the later half of the circle of life and that was why she was sore as she accompanied dark feline on this errand- it hurt. But then again if she really had given birth twenty seven times, she wouldn't be up and around at all.

"I could carry you slave the feline quipped."

Flo considered the minion's offer before he showed her a single line of red fur extending from his head down his spine to the tip of his tail. No, that wasn't fur it was a mane of flame!

"Um, thanks but not thanks." Flo said politely.

"Ah here we are." The dark feline said stopping in front of a large triangular shaped rock. Flo looked at it quite carefully, it looked familiar. Of course! That was the rock the Shadow Chasers had been imprisoned in! She saw a leopard cat, sand cat and margay suspended within- their faces frozen in screams.

The naked orangutan looked at the minion curiously and then at their target.

"You are wondering why Diamantopoulous wanted this brought back to him- yes?"

The she beast nodded.

"The boss has decided to keep them permanently." The dark feline said. "I heard he was developing some sort of special punishment for the three of them."

END....
