#10 of Failed Containment


Alexander woke up next to Melissa, the warm body of the foxgirl was pressed against him, despite his slimy nature. He found himself having wrapped a few tentacles around the alluring vixen, effectively blanketing her with his body. It was a comfortable arrangement. His tentacles did not conduct heat readily, and as such served to insulate Melissa's body heat. The foxgirl heated them both as they lay close on the bed.

It was getting on in the morning before Melissa's cell phone started to vibrate. She groggily stumbled out of the bed to silence the offending device. "Great... more trouble." she said exasperatedly.

"Do what now?" asked Alexander.

"The Curator is held up at another Site. He's much too busy to come down. I'll have to take you to him."

"Why do I have to meet with him in the first place?"

"He takes a personal interest in the former subjects we bring in. He wants to meet you, and I'd like you to meet him."

"Why?"

"Because," Melissa said, wondering as per all the questions. She walked back over to the tentacled creature on the bed, and started running her hands over his tentacles. "Because I want you to work with us." she cooed.

Alexander nearly purred at the attention, "And why would that be?"

"You could be a great asset to our organization, Alex." Melissa said, her voice soft and sweet as she continued to rub Alexander's appendages. "And if you were to leave... well, I daresay I would miss your attentions~"

The tentacle monster could play coy no longer. Being touched by the foxgirl as she spoke to him in that delicately sweet voice of hers was too much for him. "Very well, my dear Melissa. I will go see your Curator."

Melissa smiled, "I'm glad you've come around, Alex. Now, let me shower and we can catch the shuttle to Site 8."

"Shuttle? I wasn't aware shadow organizations chartered buses..."

Melissa laughed a little, "No silly, we have a underground railway connecting most of the Protectorate Sites. It helps us move around faster."

"Very well, my dear. I am following your lead on this." the tentacle monster said.

"All right, I'm gonna grab a shower." Melissa said, scratching off a flake of dried slime from her fur. Alexander only emitted what he'd hoped was an innocent laugh.

As the foxgirl turned to head into the bathroom, Alexander slithered out of the bed and over behind her. He placed two tentacles on her shoulder, and leaned his mass in to whisper into her ear. "Well, since you'll be washing off anyway... why not start the day off right?"

Melissa leaned back against Alexander, grinding her naked hips into his masses, "Oh? And just how would we go about doing that?"

"Allow me to show you, my dear~" Alexander whispered, massaging the alluring vixen's shoulders a bit as he ran a tentacle up her thigh.

"Awfully energetic for the morning time, are we?" Melissa said, relaxing a bit as the tentacle teased her sensitive skin.

"I find it helps, hm hmm hmmm. Makes one lighter on their feet, you know." the monster said.

"Is that so?"

"Quite."

Melissa gave in to the tentacle beast's attentions as she allowed him to wrap a few tentacles around her wrists and ankles. He always did that. She assumed it was his predatory nature, to assume dominance. Several tentacles snaked out to run the length of Melissa's legs, Alexander still taking care to rub her shoulders. A new tentacle slithered forth and started rubbing along Melissa's stomach, leaving a trail of slime across her cream colored belly as he rubbed. Tantalizing every bit of sensitive skin that the foxgirl had except for the ones she ached to be touched, Alexander teased his friend to unbearable amounts of wanting. Her scent hung heavily in the air as her desire dripped down to the appendages rubbing the inside of her legs. Two tentacles came forth, bearing tongues and sucking mouths to attend the vixen's perking nipples. She moaned in pleasure as her chest was relentlessly assaulted, and Alexander drank greedily of the electric pleasure he caused her.

It was not long before he turned his attentions to her waiting sex. It was soaked with desire from his attentions, to which the tentacle monster could not imagine a higher compliment to his skills. He obliged her with a nice, thick phallus that pushed its way into her, causing her to moan out in pleasure. A thinner tentacle emerged to kiss her engorged clitoris as he stretched her out pleasurably with his other appendage, and still another slimy phallus was brought forth to tickle the moaning foxgirl's twitching tailhole. Alexander sighed contentedly as he rode out Melissa's first orgasm, and then continued to torture her ever so deliciously, his tentacles working her every sensitive spots, driving her to sexual heights high enough that he could start feeling her getting numb from the intensity.

He finished off one final orgasm before he let his attentions fade, removing his tentacles from her various orifice. He had been holding the foxgirl up, and felt her knees buckle as he set her back down. Even more tentacles came to bear, each one licking the foxgirl as she bathed in the afterglow. She shuddered from a dull pleasure that seemed to fill her as Alexanders innumerable tongues set about to massaging her every crevice. Melissa felt as if she might lie there forever under the tentacle monster's tender care.

Once Alexander was contented that Melissa was spent of her orgasmic energy, Alexander withdrew his appendages back into his body and then slithered over to where Melissa's head lay. She smiled as she saw the tentacle monster enter her vision from behind her.

"How are you so damn good at that?"

"Because I am very good at what I do, my dear~" Alexander said, caressing the foxgirl's cheek.

"I swear that's almost addicting."

"Hehehe, then I may be off my game if it's not totally addicting."

"If that's off your game, then I can't wait until you shake the rust off, Alex~"

"Just you wait, hm hmm hmmm."

Melissa steeled herself and got to her feet, dripping slime. "Well, as much as I'd like to lay here and enjoy it all day, we have things to do, Alex. Let me shower, then we can be on our way."

"I'm going to find Sophie."

Melissa nodded, "Very well. Go find your feeder girl. Bring her to meet the Curator, too."

"Will do." Alex said.

Alex shifted into his trademark blue-furred cat, complete with a white shirt, a black coat, and a black fedora. He left the room in search of the medical wing, letting Melissa wash his secretions off of herself. He was tempted to join her, but he figured that would be counterproductive. Too much more of his attentions and she might not have the energy to do much more than sleep.

Then again, they did have a long train ride ahead of them... surely the foxgirl could use that to catch up on rest... No. Now was not the time for such thoughts.

It was easy enough to find the medical wing, as there were signs posted along the corridors to help people find their way. Apparently it was a large compound. Alexander walked up to a white counter that was in the first room of the medical wing. The receptionist was a chipper female squirrel, and Alexander's mind immediately thought of Professor Hathaway. He wondered as to her fate but could not let his mind wander too far.

"Can I help you, sir?" she asked.

"Yes, my dear, I am looking for someone who was admitted yesterday. A young girl by the name of Sophie."

"And your name, please?" the squirrelgirl asked.

"Alexander, no family name. I arrived with her."

The squirrel typed the information into a computer terminal on her desk before nodded, "Room 14A, Mister Alexander." she said as she pointed down one of the halls located off of the main room.

"Thank you, my dear." Alexander said as he walked in the direction he was indicated.

The shapeshifter walked into the room and saw Sophie was sleeping peacefully. Her arms bore bandages from what appeared to be recently-removed needles, judging from the empty IV bags hanging from a pole next to her bed. He walked closer to the bed and stood by the batgirl's side. He stroked her cheek gently,

"Sophie?" he spoke softly.

The batgirl slowly opened her eyes, registering the voice speaking to her. "Master?" she said, a bit groggily. Alexander laughed.

"You don't have to call me that all the time." he chuckled.

Sophie gave a weary smile, "You like it, though."

The tentacle monster shrugged, his form grinning toothily as he barely suppressed another laugh. "Yeeeah, I do. I'm just saying, if it makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to say it."

Sophie took a deep breath as she turned her eyes to the ceiling., "You saved my life, Alex. Without you, I'd be dead." The batgirl then returned her gaze to the shapeshifter, smiling warmly. "If it makes you happy, calling you Master is the least I can do. It's more or less true anyway."

Alexander returned his former feeder girl's smile. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Sophie nodded, "Yeah, the doctors said I'd be fine. They said I had a massive electrolyte deficiency, so they gave me three bags of fluid through the night and made me sleep under observation. They came and took the needles out this morning, saying I'm good to go as soon as I rested up."

Alexander nodded, "That's good. I'm glad I didn't do too much damage."

Sophie shook her head as she lay in the hospital bed. "Even if you did, I'd still be alive, right? Even if I was hurt, at least I wouldn't be dead, ya know? Don't beat yourself up about it."

The shapeshifter chuckled, "You are correct, my dear. While I hope that such a thing is never again required of you, I am glad you are able to see the good in it."

It was Sophie's turn to nod and smile, but she said nothing more.

"We're going to another base, my dear. I'd like you to come along with me."

"I'd be glad to, Master." Sophie said, "How can I be of service if we are apart?"

Alexander chuckled again, "Ah, my sweet little Sophie, you are ever so delightful. If you do not wish to, I will not make you accompany me this time. I am merely going to meet this Protectorate Curator. It seems he wishes to meet with me before offering me a place working alongside them."

"Better here than the Facility, Master. Of course I will go with you to meet him, I am yours, after all."

The tentacle monster nodded, smiling down at his feeder girl. "We will depart as soon as you are ready."

The batgirl got up from the bed, "They already took my IV needles out, so there's no need to wait on me, Master Alexander."

"Very well, my dear Sophie." Alex said as he led the two out of the Medical Wing.

Melissa was waiting on the pair, freshly showered from her morning exertions. "You two ready to go?"

"Didn't exactly have to pack much." Sophie said lightheartedly.

"Yes, my dear Melissa, we are ready whenever you are."

Melissa nodded toward the pair, "All right. The shuttle is this way."

The shuttle, which was more an underground monorail than an actual shuttle, seemed to await them as it departed almost as soon as the trio boarded. The ride was uneventful, the three passing the time with idle chit chat. The train rode for hours, Sophie found herself dozing off against the shapeshifter, leaning on him as they rode along. The batgirl was shaken awake as the shuttle slowed abruptly to a stop.

"Sorry," she said to Alex as she awoke to leaning against him, "Riding a vehicle always puts me to sleep."

Alex, who had been enjoying the feeling of the young foxgirl against him, merely smiled down at Sophie. "It's quite all right, my dear," he said, "No need to apologize." Sophie smiled at him and the trio debarked the monorail.

Several armed guards stood waiting for them in the hewn rock cavern the monorail stopped in. Inset into the rock wall was a large metal door, which Alex assumed was the entrance into the Compound he'd come to visit. A stiff breeze rose in the cave, evidence that the exit to fresh air was somewhere nearby.

"Holy fuck!" Alex said as he stepped off of the train into the underground corridor, clutching his shifted black coat about himself. A chill wind rippled through the cavern and cut to the shapeshifter's core like a knife. "Gah... Why is it so damn cold?" he said, starting to shiver.

"We're at the top of a mountain, Alex... not that far from the summit, actually. Snow capped peaks all round this place. You're in the middle of one now." Melissa explained.

"Master, are you all right?" Sophie said with more than a bit of concern.

Alex continued to shiver, "Freezing temperatures do not do well for the cold blooded..." Alex said.

"Then let us get inside." Sophie said with an air of command, more to Melissa who immediately started toward the door.

Once inside, Sophie pressed herself up against the shapeshifter in a hug, embracing her declared master. Alex eagerly accepted the embrace, hugging the batgirl as if to drain every bit of heat she had to offer. He gave one last violent shiver before he seemed to settle down, a glazed look in his eyes betraying his comfort. "Thank you, my dear Sophie..." he said softly, highly contented to be warm again.

The small batgirl gave the shapeshifter a squeeze before letting him go with a smile.

"Any time, Master."

Alex gave an amused laughter, grateful toward his little feeder girl. "Perhaps being up here in the cold will not be so unbearable, hm hmm hmmm."

Alexander was led through the compound as Sophie trailed right along behind him. Alexander wound his way through the whitewashed corridors and was led to an antechamber of sorts. An ornate golden podium stood in front of a sizable dais before the main floor, and several rows of seats along the walls.

Alexander walked in, and his vision was bathed in red in stark contrast to the white his eyes had grown accustomed to. Inside the antechamber was coated with a deep, dark red on almost every surface. Red velvet cushion lined the furniture with what appeared to be gold trim. Clearly this was a room designed to impress. The spotless carpet comforted the shapeshifter's feet as if he were walking on pillows. Alexander always figured that carpet went unappreciated to those who had to wear shoes most of the time, his bare feet were shifted only to look like shoes. He'd felt every rock he'd ever trod on since he could remember.

One of the security guards disappeared into another room off of the main chamber. He reappeared shortly after, "The Curator will see you shortly." the guardsman said.

The group did not wait long, for soon an elderly looking mole entered the antechamber through another door, tailed closely by a black pantheress and a large vampire bat.

"It's here, Tabitha." said the vampire bat as soon as he entered the antechamber.

The black pantheress looked at the vampire bat and then to the assembled group, "What's here?" she asked with a hint of alarm.

"The escaped Specimen." said the vampire bat, pointing at Alexander.

"What!?" Tabitha exclaimed as she withdrew a shining silver pistol.

There was a series of clicks and several rushes of movement. The antechamber was a blur of activity too fast for anyone to fully take in the situation.

The guards pointed their guns at Tabitha, while Julian reacted with a speed that could not have been followed by any eye to rush one of the guards and hold him aloft by his neck, the vampire bat holding the guard's weapons at more security personnel. The cocking of weapon hammers was deafening as the security guards yelled commands, "FREEZE! DROP YOUR WEAPON!"

Julian glowered at the assembled security team, "Lower your weapons away from the Overseer, before I make every one of you regret the day you were spawned..." he said scathingly as the guard choked in his grip.

Tabitha had not taken her aim off of Alexander. "Curator, are you aware that you are harboring the subject that escaped Facility containment not too long ago?"

The elderly mole nodded, stepping forward in front of Tabitha, into the path of her bullet. "I am aware, Overseer. Alexander here is under Protectorate jurisdiction."

"Curator, you're not dealing with just some botched Facility experiment. You are harboring something we have never seen before. It never was a person as far as we can tell, and it is dangerous with unknown motivations."

Alexander grew indignant, "I-"

"The Protectorate is well aware of the risks, Overseer." the elderly mole said, cutting off the tentacle monster's protest. "Alexander's character is being vouched for by my personnel. He falls under Protectorate authority now. He is our responsibility now, as per our agreement, Overseer."

Tabitha maintained the glare that her expression seemed to default to. "If he sets a toe out of line, Roland, he falls back into my jurisdiction. And I will see him obliterated." "I expect nothing less, Tabitha. Now if you will kindly instruct Julian to release my security guard before he suffocates, I would be much obliged."

"Julian. We are leaving." Tabitha said as she nodded toward Julian, who released the guard he had held captive. The unfortunate victim coughed and sputtered as he gasped for air.

The pantheress and the vampire bad left the antechamber without another word, disappearing out into the Protectorate Compound. The Curator shook his head wearily before looking up and smiling at Alexander. "Sorry about that unpleasantness." he said before turning to the security personnel. "Get Rodgers here to the medical wing as soon as possible." the Curator instructed as he pointed to the guardsman still clutching his neck and breathing heavily.

While the security team set about to caring for their injured teammate, Curator Roland turned back to Alexander. "Now, Alexander, was it? Thank you for coming to meet me, we have much to discuss..."
