World of Women - World of Women - V1 - Chapter 29
As I sat in the dark, all I could do was worry about Hannah. Was she being released? I didnāt know. I simply had to give my trust that Faeri would follow through with what she said.
The night continued on as I listened for any indication of someone coming to the cells. I heard nothing.
After considering what I had seen so far, I figured out that I was locked up in some sort of abandoned factory. The current cell I was locked in was perhaps where valuable items were locked up during the night.
I couldnāt really understand the specifics. How did manufacturing work in a world with magic? So far, I had yet to see much in the ways of magic. Perhaps Faeriās voice box was magic? I had no clue. I still didnāt know enough about this world.
Perhaps I never should have given myself to the Primrose. However, if I hadnāt, then Hannah would have been in a worse situation. Perhaps she would have been raped by that Matty woman already. Thus, I didnāt regret my decision. I had done everything I could for Hannah. If she was truly gone, now I simply needed to worry about myself.
With those comforting thoughts, I drifted off to sleep. My dreams were filled with as much frustration and uncertainty as I had when I was awake. Suffice it to say, I had no clue how much time passed by as I slept.
āBrotherā¦ Brotherā¦ wake up!ā I murmured a few times as a visage of Hannah floated in front of me.
I felt hands on my face, and thatās when my eyes shot open the rest of the way. Hannahās voice wasnāt just coming from another room, Hannah was literally hovering in the bed over me.
āHannah!ā I let out a cry and grabbed the girl into an embrace, causing her to make a surprised noise.
āBrother! Ahhhā¦ not the time!ā She turned her cheek as I tried to kiss her.
I gave a pout, and Hannah responded with a guilty look, turning back and giving me a quick peck on the lips.
āI love you, Hannah.ā I smiled. āI was so worriedā¦ā
āBrotherā¦ when you look at me that way my chest feels like itās going to burstā¦ā Hannah had a slightly pained look. āPlease, we need to escapeā¦ā
āEscape?ā I immediately stopped teasing Hannah, sitting up instantly.
My memories of where we were came crashing home. For a brief moment, just seeing Hannah had caused me to forget. However, now wasnāt the time to play.
My change in attitude caused Hannah to puff out of her cheeks and look at me stubbornly. āBrother is a big meanie for teasing me.ā
I reached along the bed and pinched her butt, eliciting another yelp. āCome on, if weāre escaping, letās escape already. How did you get away?ā
Hannah stood while rubbing her butt and still pouting, āI just did. They took me away in a blindfold, but I remembered every turn and came back.ā
āYou shouldnāt have come back.ā I winced.
āI love you, Iāll always come back,ā Hannah explained simply, looking away with a blush.
āThen letās get goingā¦ā
Hannah nodded, heading to the cell and looking out both directions before heading the opposite way of the path where we had gone the day before.Ā I followed after her, keeping low and trying to make my footsteps light. I didnāt know anything about sneaking. I adjusted where my feet landed from my heel, to my toes, to my instep several times, still not satisfied with deciding which direction produced the least sound.
Meanwhile, Hannah moved in front of me, still holding my hand as if she was guiding me naturally. She didnāt slouch or hide. Rather, she moved with confidence as if she had memorized the route. Well, she came in through this route and didnāt run into anyone, so it should be safe, right? Itād still be nice if my sister showed a little more caution. The expression on her face wasnāt that of a woman who was raped yesterday, and now she was trying desperately to escape with her brother. Rather, she seemed oddly casual, as if this was just a stroll through the park.
I couldnāt decide if her behavior made me more worried or less. All I could do was hold onto my sister, keep a lookout, and follow as quietly as possible. I could hear my own heart thrumming in my ears. For some reason, I felt nauseous too. I had been captured for nearly a week in the Primrose, yet I felt more nervous trying to escape than I did living there.
I was so focused on my own thoughts that I walked out ahead of Hannah before realizing she had stopped. I immediately froze when my eyes landed on Faeri, standing in front of me with two other guards. Or would calling her Tinya be a better word? She wasnāt wearing the mask right now. Instead, she held a very displeased look on her face as she glared at Hannah and me.
The girls she brought with her looked tough, and one of them was holding a bat while the other looked to have a pair of brass knuckles on. Either way, I didnāt think I could take the girls. I might be a little stronger than a girl my same age, but I hardly had the body to make up for girls three or four years older than me, let alone with weapons.
Just when I thought Hannah might have to lead me there deliberately, I saw the frustrated expression on her face.
āWhat are you doing here?ā Hannah demanded angrily.
She tried to push forward, but I instantly protected her with my body. If the women started punching, Iād take the brunt of it. Hannah had come back for me. Now, we were both trapped again. I had wished Hannah had just left without me. Iād deal with the crazy Faeri on my own.
āI was waiting to see what youād doā¦ it wasā¦ himā¦ after all.ā Tinyaās voice sounded sad like she had hoped Hannah had done something different.
Hannah grabbed onto my arm, hugging me. āJust leave us alone! Weāre done!ā
āYou may be done with Primrose, but weāre not done with you.ā Tinya sneered.
āTinya, look, we can work this outā¦ā I held up my hand, trying to use the goodwill I thought Iād built over the last week as her fuck buddy.
āShut up! Youā¦ youā¦ man!ā Tinyaās eyes flashed with hatred.
āStop itā¦ā Hannah shook her head, her body shaking in agitation.
āYouāre going back into your cage!ā Tinya moved her hand from me and then pointed at Hannah. āYouāre going back to where you belong.ā
āStop it!ā
āDonāt let him come between us!ā Tinya shouted, agitated by Hannahās demeanor. āYouāve had your fun with him. We gave you a week to play, now come back to us. Come back to me.ā
āShut up!ā Hannah screamed, putting her hands over her ears.
āI love you! I love you more than he ever will!ā Tinya insisted.
āHuh?ā at this point, I took a step away, looking between Tinya and my sister, who was shaking her head, her eyes seeming to lose some cohesion.
What was going on? Tinya was in love with Hannah? What? Tinya had been sleeping with me for the last week. Tinya was jealous because my love for Hannah was greater than my love for her. I didnāt understand what they were talking about now. Did I miss something?
āSeeā¦ donāt you see I love-ā
āFuck you!ā Hannah screeched. āYouāre ruining everything!ā
Tinyaās lip peeled back into a snarl. āYouāre the one trying to throw it all awayā¦ for thisā¦ man.ā
āI donāt understand.ā I shook my head, my mind trying to work through this sudden change, āWhat does Hannah have to do with you?ā
āSee? This idiot doesnāt even know. He doesnāt know who you are,ā Tinya snapped, looking at Hannah desperately.
āKnowā¦ā My eyes focused on Hannah as everything clicked into place.
My hand moved without thought. I reached out towards Hannah, who had her head lowered as if she had been frozen by Tinyaās accusations. She didnāt react as my hand grabbed the collar of her shirt and pulled. Right there, on her neck, was a yellow bruise with teeth marks. It was a familiar bite.
āFaeriā¦ā The words came out in a whisper.
Hannah slapped my hands away. Her lips slowly curling upwards. She peeled back her head and laughed, her arms falling to her side. It was a familiar laugh, although it was clearer now without the voice modulator.
āItās a jokeā¦ a joke. I was just playing a joke. Iām your Faeri, Tinya, Iāve always been,ā Hannah responded darkly before turning to me. āHahahahaā¦ Brother, youāre so stupid, not knowing it was me!ā
āI had my suspicions.ā I shook my head in disbelief. āYou acted differently. Looked different. You didnāt bleed when weā¦ of course you wouldnāt because Iād already taken your virginity a week ago!ā
Hannah nodded, jumping up and kissing me on the nose before I could react and then moving over to Tinya. āAnd Brother was so rough too. You didnāt give your big sister any mercy! You just took me and fucked me like an animal!ā
āHannahā¦ā my mouth grimaced, and I just could not figure out how to respond.
My mind felt numb with shock, and this sudden development was too much to stomach. In a lot of ways, it seemed so obvious now that I thought about it. Hannah kept things dark so I didnāt notice the differences between the two women, but she was Faeri every time she came in and fucked me. The cell across from mine? Who knows, it probably had another entrance in it. Sheād just pull off her mask, tie her hair up, and then pretend to be Hannah. As to Tinyaās role in this, she was probably some second in command, and possibly Hannahās lover. It was so obvious, but I found myself unable to put the pieces together until they were shoved in my face.
āDonāt look at me that way, Brother.ā Hannah pulled the familiar mask out from a pocket behind her and put it on. āItās just business. We needed a cum dispenser and you just happened to be dumb enough to walk right into my little trap.ā
Her words hurt, but they would have hurt a lot more had I truly been a fourteen-year-old boy. I might have been too flustered and hurt by her words to truly think if I didnāt have my other memories. I wouldnāt have seen how flustered she was. I wouldnāt have recalled how she was just helping me try to escape. Her behavior now was because she hit a dead end. She was both figuratively and literally hiding behind a mask. She switched sides and now was trying to distance herself from me because she felt like she had no other choice. I wouldnāt stand for it.
āHannahā¦ I told you before. Youāre mine. Iām not giving up on you so easily,ā I said.
Hannah straightened for a second, but then laughed again. āHahahaā¦ Brother, you donāt get it. I played you. Iāve been Faeri for a long time. Iāve been plotting to get you out of the house for over a year now. This was my plan, all of it! I even picked up Tinya after Mom discarded her. Why else would you think I recruited my sweet Tinya?ā
Faeri, my sister, ran her hand through Tinyaās hair like she was petting an animal. Tinya closed her eyes and had a pleased look on her face like she enjoyed the affection.
āYou saved her because I fucked her,ā I growled, causing Tinya to shoot me a hateful glare. āShe took my virginity, so you wanted to possess it.ā
āHahahahahaā¦ youāre so funny, Brother!ā Faeriās hand tightened and pulled Tinyaās hair before she turned away. āArenāt you being really conceded?ā
āI donāt believe it. Last nightā¦ā
āAn actā¦ I was just playing with your emotionsā¦ā Faeriās eyes flashed for a second. āDonāt you get it, Brother? I neverā¦ never l-loved youā¦ā
āI donāt believe you.ā I narrowed my eyes, looking darkly at the girl who hid her expressions behind a mask.
āWell, itās not like we believe her either,ā Tinya sighed, turning an eye to Faeri.
āWhat?ā Faeri spun towards the woman with a surprised glance.
āWe all saw you last nightā¦ā
āIt was a joke, I was just putting on a show!ā Faeri insisted, glancing at the other two women who didnāt show her any support.
Tinya shook her head sadly. āYou requested to step down as the Faeri. You wanted to leave Primrose.ā
āWe had an agreement!ā Faeri shouted. āYou become the next Faeri and I leave! This would have gone perfectly, you traitor!ā
Realizing her deception was crumbling, Hannah turned hostile towards Tinya once again. She didnāt show any love or affection for Tinya that she showed for me. Whatever they had, it looked to me like it was one-sided.
āThe Primrose are nothing without their Faeri, and you tried to leave us. We wonāt allow it.ā
āBitches! All of you!ā Faeri shouted, backing away.
As they spoke, the nearby boxes were pushed aside and more and more Primrose came out. This was a complete ambush, or perhaps an intervention. All of the girls were looking at Faeri like she owed them something. In a few short seconds, the small warehouse was filled, and Hannah had nowhere to run.
āDonāt make this harder than it needs to beā¦ā Tinya said, sadness cupping her facial features.
āYou think Iāll just play nicely now? You think your Faeri will keep you going?ā Faeri cursed. āYou were nothing without me! Youāre nothing! Youāre-ā
As Faeri shouted, Matty walked up behind her. With a single strike on the head, Faeri was cut off mid-sentence. As she collapsed in Mattyās arm, Matty pulled off her mask and tossed it to Tinya.
I glared up at Tinya, who was standing there hesitantly while holding on to the mask.
āIs this what it was all about? Being in charge?ā
Tinyaās lips twisted. āYou wouldnāt understand, youāre just a man.ā
I frowned slightly. āWhatās to not understand? Your brother was an asshole. You grew desperate and tried to rape me. Mom kicked you out, and Hannah was the only thing you could cling on to. Of course, now that you learned your time with Hannah was a lie, youāre upset.ā
āUpset?ā Tinya shot me a hateful look. āYou and your Mom took everything from me! You destroyed my life. You threw me on the street. Now you want to take my Hannah.ā
āYou ruined your own life,ā I shot back, āYou know, my mom planned to have you be my first lover. I was going to give you a baby. When you turned on the family, she was hurt.ā
Tinya took a step back. āLiesā¦ your Mother just wanted you to herself.ā
I shrugged, crouching down and touching Hannah lying unconscious on the floor. āBelieve what you want, but if you had come back, I would have taken you in. I never forgot about us.ā
āUsā¦ there is no usā¦ā Tinya gave a look of disgust. āThere is only Hannah and me!ā
āTinya, itās not too lateā¦ā
Tinya bared her teeth angrily. āI told you once before. Tinya is dead. I am the new Faeri. Hannah gave up that right yesterday. Youāre now my prisoner, and so is she!ā
āYou donāt have to do thisā¦ā I stood up, taking a step toward her.
āYouā¦ā she stepped back and put on the mask. āYouāre just like the rest. Youāre a man!ā
A few of the women nodded, like simply saying that was enough to explain herself. Clyburn couldnāt keep the irritation from flashing across his face.
āHannah isnāt yours. She never will be.ā
Tinyaās eyes, now outlined by Faeriās mask, darkened. āYouāll pay for taking everything from meā¦ you, and your Mother.ā
She nodded and a bunch of girls grabbed me. I didnāt even try to fight back. I only felt sad that I couldnāt save her. The girls grabbed Hannah and dragged her along with me. We didnāt return to the cell, but rather the familiar room I had started out in. They chained me back to the pipe, and then chained the still unconscious Hannah to another pipe.
The light flickered off, and the pair of us were left in the cold. I wanted to move over to Hannah, but the chains didnāt allow me to get any closer. Instead, I could only watch her unconscious form. I shook my head and sighed.
We sat in the dark for several hours. I laid with my head against the wall. Iād like to say I was coming up with ways to escape, but I mostly felt numb and confused.
When did Hannah join this gang? It must have been around the same time she was molested by a lipstick lesbian. Was being molested what got her into the gang or was it part of her play? I didnāt know. Either way, the Hannah I thought I knew was gone.
āYouā¦ must hate me.ā
My eyes snapped open as I heard Hannahās voice. She was still lying in the same position she was left in by the Primrose, but her eyes were opened now. I had no clue how long she had been awake.
āYouāre my sister,ā I responded simply.
āIā¦ betrayed you,ā she spoke hesitantly. āI led a double life and then as soon as I got the opportunity, I imprisoned you here.ā
āā¦ I knowā¦ā I said, not knowing how to respond.
āI wanted to take you away from Mom,ā Hannah sighed. āAway from Madison too. I just wanted you all to myself.ā
āThatās impossible.ā I grimaced. āNot in this world.ā
We sat in silence for a few moments before Hannah continued. āIn your other world, did you have a sister?ā
I had already guessed I had been misunderstanding what Hannah said before when she said she came from another world. She might have been talking about the fact she was wearing a mask. Or perhaps just being in a gang in general. I had told my little sister something I never should have told her. No, worse, I had told a complete stranger a secret I never should have spoken. I was so desperate to find someone like me, I had ended up hearing what I wanted to hear.
I gave a wry chuckle. āWhy, you jealous?ā
āMaybeā¦ if you slept with herā¦ā
I broke into a cough. āAhā¦ ahemā¦ actually, in my world, men are plentiful. Sleeping with your sister would be completely inappropriate. Even half-sisters and adopted sisters would be taboo.ā
āā¦ ohā¦ā Hannah responded simply.
āNoā¦ in both my lives, youāre my only sisterā¦ā I paused for a second. āIām sorryā¦ for everything.ā
Hannah raised her head. āWhy are you sorry?ā
I gave a wry smile. āYou had an entire hidden life. You kidnapped me and you committed crimes just to get back at this world that focuses on men. To get back at meā¦ā
āAh!ā Hannah held out a hand, but after a moment realized she couldnāt argue that point.
āWell, for the last year, Iāve hidden my real self. I threw myself at Mom, you, and Madison just to alleviate my frustration and isolation. This world is frustrating for both sexes. The men who are handed everything but treated like objects, and the women who must work tooth and nail for the chance to have a baby.ā
āThen, letās change it.ā Hannahās voice reverberated in the dark room with a surprising amount of strength.
āHow?ā
āWe escapeā¦ we run awayā¦ā
āIām not going to do that!ā I grimaced. āIām not going to leave Momā¦ā
āMom? Mom againā¦ā Hannah said that like a curse. āThat woman is always in the way.ā
The hatred in Hannahās voice wasnāt any lighter now. I hesitated for a moment. I had to fix things between mother and daughter. There was no way to move forward without that.
āHannah, Iā¦ā
The door opened, interrupting the pair of us. Tinya, still wearing the mask, glared at us.
āGet them.ā
A couple of girls moved into the room and surrounded the both of us. Hannah tried to struggle for a moment, but when it was clear they wouldnāt yield, she sighed and let them lead her with me right behind. The pair of us were unchained and moved out into the room with two women on either side of each of us. We ended up where Hannah and I had been forced to perform her exiting ceremony, although the bed had been removed.
It made more sense to me now than it did the previous night. Hannah must have decided to let me go after our conversation. She wanted to step down as Faeri, which seemed to be less an actual person and more a name for whoever the group leader was. Leaving the group required being sexed outā¦ a process similar to what was necessary for some girls to join gangs in my old world. She probably made some kind of deal with Tinya where I became her sex out partner and then sheād sneak out with me while Tinya took over the Primrose. What Hannah didnāt realize was how furious Tinya would be over the thought of Hannah leaving.
āTinya, quit this already,ā I sighed, trying to end the situation. āLet us go and Iāll give you some semen. It doesnāt have to-ā
āYou think this is about semen?ā Tinya sneered, spinning around as we were brought to a stop. āHalf the girls in Primrose are lipsticks. Hannah never resented men like the rest of us. She never truly spoke for the Primrose. Her plans for you were never our plans for you! This goes beyond what I feel for her. A lot of the girls have been unhappy with Hannah using us so she can play at being a housewife.ā
Hannah frowned as Tinya spoke. Many of the Primrose, who were now standing around us, nodded or made noises of affirmation. Naturally, when Hannah was in charge, no one argued with her. Hearing about their discontent now made her feel a bit affronted. As soon as she gave up the mask, she lost all of their respect and admiration.
āIf this isnāt about semen, what is it about?ā I demanded.
Tinya, the new Faeri, made a malicious grin. A second later she snapped her fingers. A woman was dragged into the room. She struggled slightly, but she seemed to stumble a bit. There was a bag over her head. As soon as I saw her, something about her body caused my heart to rise to my throat.
Tinya let out a laugh. āI finally realized the perfect way to satisfy my anger and save the Primrose.ā
She grabbed the bag and pulled it off, revealing the person underneath. That person was none other than our Mother, Morgan!
