Larra studied the glowing blue gem in her
hand. She wondered about the
limits of the huge sapphires power.
That it could heal, she understood very
well. But what else could it
do? She
sighed. Well, it wasnt
up to her to find out. Reluctantly
she placed it in the specially constructed box provided by the British Foreign
Service. Its all
yours, Lord Hamilton, she said to the middle-aged civil servant who
waited on the other side of the carved teak
table. It seemed strange to be
giving up an artifact of such power to someone she had only just
met. But her job was
over. She had found what she
had been sent to find and much more as
well. She had unforgettable memories
of the exotic lost Nubian civilizations she had stumbled
upon. Not all of them
pleasant. She and her companions
had suffered a great deal to obtain the mystic gem known as the
Eye
of Thoth. To simply give
it away did not seen right somehow, but it was what she had been sent to
do, and if it would help defeat Hitler and Mussolini then it would all be
worthwhile. At least she thought
it would be worthwhile. Some
of the memories of her Saharan adventure would remain as nightmares for some
time to come.
She pushed back her chair and got to her
feet. Well, I will be going
now. My companions are waiting
for me back at the hotel. The
Eye
of Thoth would go with Lord
Hamilton. She and her companions
would be returning to
Im sure I will, Larra
replied.
Larra stepped into the street outside the
British Foreign Office. Lord
Hamilton had offered to provide a car, but she had decided to
walk. The evening was pleasantly
warm, not particularly surprising for
Katie looked at the note that had arrived
just minutes ago. Amy stared
over her shoulder. Looks
like Larras writing, said the
redhead.
Seems like a strange time to be taking
us to the airport, observed Katie.
Its two hours away from
Who knows how the military mind
works? replied Amy.
Most of the time it doesnt
work. It just gives
orders. We better get
cracking. We only have an hour
before we are picked up.
Ill wake Jia Li and Melissa,
Katie said as she headed toward the door.
It did not take the four women long to
pack. They had very little in
the way of possessions; just a change of clothing and a few personal
effects. They trooped downstairs
and waited for the car that was to pick them
up. To their annoyance, the car
was late and when it did arrive they found to their surprise that it was
not a car but a van. The back
door of the vehicle opened and a soldier stepped
out. Sorry lydies,
he said in a heavy Australian accent.
Its the bloody
war you know.
He held the door open for the women to
enter. Inside the back of the
van it was pitch dark and Katie, who went first had to feel her way to the
bench. Cant you shine a
light in here? she asked.
Sorry mum, replied the
soldier. Its the
blackout. Dont want to
show the Eye-ties where we are.
Ill turn on the interior lights as soon as the door is
closed.
Oh well, Katie thought. At
least it will be a short ride. Then
well be at the airport.
She fumbled her way to the end of the bench and sat
down.
The last of the women got
in. It was only as the door slammed
shut that Katie and the others realized something was
wrong. What the hell?
Melissa exclaimed.
Were the only ones in
here!
She was right, the soldier should have gotten
in with them. Instead, he had
slammed the rear door shut. With
a feeling of dismay and disbelief the women heard the lock click into
place. They were trapped in the
van.
Hey, hey! shouted Melissa pounding
on the side of the van. The only
reply was the sound of the vehicle starting up and the changing of gears
as it gained speed. Shit,
were trapped, exclaimed the Canadian
girl.
The other women did not
answer. What was happening to
them had to be a mistake, but it had an all too familiar feeling to
it. It was then that Amy found
Larra.
She couldnt tell that it was Larra until
she removed the gag. In the dark
she couldnt even see her friend and
mentor. She had blundered into
her by chance while feeling her way around the front of the
van. She had encountered a tightly
bound body and by touch had determined that it was alive and
female. Further fumbling enabled
her to find the gag and untie it.
There was a coughing sound as the bound woman spat out the rest of
the material that had been stuffed into her
throat.
Thanks, Larra
gasped. She had been lying in
the van for over an hour. The
assault in the streets of
Whats going on? asked Amy
as she began to work on the rest of Larras
bonds.
I think that should be obvious,
replied Melissa. Weve
been kidnapped, and I suspect weve met the kidnapper
before.
Featherstone? asked Amy
anxiously.
Featherstone and that asshole Sturm,
Im betting, Melissa replied.
Im afraid you may be right,
Larra said, as her hands were freed.
Check the ceiling.
There may be an air vent or something we can push
out.
Nothing, came the report, in
Melissas voice. Its
going to be damned stuffy in here if where we are going lasts any length
of time.
Keep
looking, said Larra.
There might be a hatch in the floor or one of the
walls. But there
wasnt. The van was a tightly
closed steel box. The five women
could only sit on the benches and hold tight as the vehicle swayed through
the streets of
Larras body was soaked in
sweat. She had unbuttoned her
shirt to just below her breasts, but the perspiration still streamed from
her body. From the luminous dial
of her wristwatch she knew that it she and her companions had been trapped
in the van for over twelve hours.
In all that time the door had not been opened even
once. It was now well past
Water, thought
Larra. Weve got to
have water. How much longer do
they think we can survive these
conditions? She slumped
down on the floor. She had long
since lost the strength to sit on the
bench. Her companions, with perhaps
the exception of Jia Li, were in even worse
shape. Amy was sprawled on the
floor. She appeared
unconscious. Only the slight
rise and fall of her breasts showed that she still
lived. Katie and Melissa were
not in much better shape. The
two women were awake, but they were completely listless, all the life burned
out of them.
With a squealing of brakes the van unexpectedly
lurched to a halt. Outside
there was the sound of voices. They
were speaking German. Suddenly
the back door of the van was flung open.
Fresh air wafted into the van along with the blinding glare of the
desert sun. Larra staggered to
her feet.
Gott
in Himmel!
What a
stink! The speaker was
the Áustralian who had trapped them in the
van. He spoke perfect
German.
Raus! Raus! he
shouted. Get out you
whores.
Larra stumbled into the blinding
light. Half blind, she could
only vaguely make out the forms of the soldiers who surrounded
her. There seemed to be at least
a dozen of them. I think
these cunts need a bath.
I agree, said a somewhat familiar
voice. But lets walk
them a bit first. They can bathe
later.
Sturm, thought
Larra. Somehow the brutal SS
officer had found them. Why he
would have gone to all the trouble to kidnap them she had no
idea.
Something was pushed into
her. Larra saw that it was a
bucket of water. She felt like
upending the bucket over herself, but there were others to see to
first. Fighting back her raging
thirst, she turned and handed the bucket to
Katie. Drink, she
whispered. Her parched throat
would not allow her to speak any louder.
Katie did not argue. She
lifted the bucket to her lips and drank
deeply. Then she handed it back
to Larra.
Now you, the blonde
said.
In a minute, Larra
said. She went to Amy
next. The girl had exited the
van last, barely able to stand.
Larra held the bucket and helped her
drink. Without a sound Amy gulped
the water down until Larra took the bucket
away. Too much water too quickly
would not be good for her. She
then took the bucket to Melissa and Jia
Li. Only when every one of her
companions had drunk did Larra take any water for
herself.
Very noble,
Nobility is a concept that I doubt you
have any understanding of, retorted
Larra. What do you want
of us?
A little bit of revenge,
first. You ruined our plans to
get the
Eye
of Thoth. Now I have
orders to put you on a plane and fly you to
If you just want me, then why kidnap
my companions? Let them go and
I will give you my full cooperation.
Sturm
laughed. I was ordered
to bring the entire tribe. Damned
if I know why. Id just
as soon leave you and the Chinese bitch in the
desert. After having a bit of
fun with you, he added as an afterthought.
While Larra and Sturm exchanged pleasantries
the rest of her companions were getting a second
drink. They soon emptied the
bucket and were handed another.
Eventually they drank their fill.
Somewhat revived, and allowed to attend to their bodily functions,
the women were lined up by the Germans.
There were, as Larra had first estimated, about a dozen of
them. Not too many for the women
to handle if they had not been exhausted from their ordeal in the
van. And not too many if the
guards had not all been armed with Schmeiser submachine
guns.
The women expected to be loaded back into
the van, but Sturm had other ideas.
I think, he said with a smirk, that it might be
nice for you to go for a little
walk.
Walk? thought
Larra. Is the man
mad? He must be
joking.
But Sturm was not
joking. They had stopped at a
small grove of trees. Tethered
nearby were two dozen camels. Sturm
gestured toward the animals.
You walk, we ride.
Larra looked out into the desert.
Already the barren landscape was distorted with eat
waves. It was going to be a most
unpleasant ordeal.
Uunnh! The blow from Sturms riding crop knocked
Larra to her knees. Exhausted
and dehydrated she could no longer maintain her balance under the brutal
Nazis repeated blows. She
and her companions had been on the march for five days, and every day had
been a grueling nightmare. Sturm
made a point of riding along the column of tethered women and bringing the
crop down on their shoulders. He
had picked Larra as his favourite
target. She bore the abuse without
comment; responding to Sturms cowardly assaults would simply give him
greater satisfaction.
On your feet, mongrel bitch, Sturm
ordered. He reined in his camel
and hovered over her while Larra struggled to her
feet. Her arms were bound behind
her back and she was tethered to Melissa who was right behind
her. Breathing heavily, she regained
her footing.
Enjoying the walk,
He laughed, leaving Larra and the other exhausted
women to wonder what he had planned for
them. It didnt take too
much imagination to figure out that whatever it was would be brutal at
best. The way Sturm and his men
had looked at them during the march left little doubt as to their probable
intentions. Thoughts of further rape and degradation weighed heavily on the
minds of each woman. So far other
than minor acts of cruelty the Germans had left them
alone. Sturm seemed to be in
some sort of hurry; too much of a hurry to abuse his victims any more than
they already were. Sturm said
as much. What a charming
bunch you are. Every one of you
would be a soldiers dream, but we have no time to make use of your
services. Perhaps when we reach
out destination there will be some time for us to get to know one another
better.
Larra now understood the decision to use the
camels rather than continue by van.
There was not enough fuel to go on so long a journey and using camels
would throw off any pursuit. No
doubt the British army was looking for her and her
companions. But tracking them
into the desert would be almost
impossible. Not once in the past
five days had Larra seen any signs of pursuit.
And now their trek was coming to and
end. A few hours later they reached
an isolated oasis deep in the desert.
Here the Germans had built an airbase or perhaps airstrip would be
a better word. They had simply
cleared a strip of desert of rock sufficiently for aircraft to land and take
off. It was the airstrip that
the Germans had been so anxious to reach.
They were herded under the wing of the plane
and then surrounded by the guards.
Untie them, Sturm
ordered. One of the soldiers
carried out his command.
Alright ladies, Sturm continued from outside the ring
of soldiers, remove your desert robes.
That was one thing the Germans had
provided. Forcing the women to
walk without proper protection would have killed them all, and Sturm did
not want that. He had other plans
for them, although exactly what he never let on.
Coward, thought Larra. He
hasnt the guts to issue that order and stand next to
us. Even beaten down as we
are. However, faced by
a circle of submachine gun muzzles, she did as she was instructed, dropping
the robe that had protected her on the desert
march. The five women stood there
naked as the desert sun beat down on
them.
Sturm kept them there for two hours while
the soldiers and crew at the landing strip busied themselves with the
plane. Every second of that time
was an ordeal, as parched and weakened from the forced march, the helpless
women were fully exposed to the blazing desert
sun. Finally, whether out of
boredom or because preparations were finally at an end, Sturm gave the
order. Put the bitches
on the plane. But be careful
with them. He pointed to
Jia Li. Start with the
Asian mongrel.
Jia Lis hands were bound behind her
and she was marched up the gangway.
Amy went next until finally only Larra was
left. Take this one
forward, Sturm ordered.
I have special plans for her.
Larra kept her face
calm. She was sure that Sturm
was going to rape her, but she was helpless to prevent
it. Not only was she completely
surrounded by armed men, but the two hours in the sun had taken most of the
fight out of her. All she wanted
was a place in the shade and a drink of
water. As soon as her hands were
tied, she was marched up the gangway.
Inside the aircraft were Larras four
companions. The plane was nothing
more than a military transport with a long bench running along one side of
it. The women were
seated on the bench, a length of chain around each of their necks and
waists. Locked to the fuselage,
the chain held them securely in place.
Sturm followed Larra past the captive
women. Its first
class for you,
The remaining four women watched Sturm push
Larra into the forward compartment.
Oh God, Larra, thought
Melissa. Be
brave. The other women
were thinking the same.
So called first class turned out
to be nothing more than a forward cargo
bay. The only seats in the aircraft
were those occupied by the other women and their
guards. Her wrists still tied
behind her back, Larra was prodded toward the forward bulkhead.
Here Sturm turned her so that
she was facing him. Producing
a short length of rope he pushed her against the bulkhead and tied the rope
around her neck and through a convenient hole in one of the support
struts.
The way the rope secured her did not allow
her to stand upright, and she was forced to bend her
knees. The plane is about
to take off, Sturm said.
I would not wish for you to be injured, therefore it is important
that you be secured properly.
Turning his attention to her legs, Sturm looped
a coil of rope about each ankle and pulled her legs wide, securing them to
adjoining bulkheads so that she was forced to stand with her legs spread
apart. Then he attended to her
arms. Wary, however, of Larras
talents he did not untie her wrists until he was sure she would remain under
control. He first tied her left
arm above the elbow to the support strut behind her and then he untied her
wrists. He pulled her free right
arm out to the side and bound it to the same strut her right ankle was tied
to. He then untied her left arm
and repeated the operation leaving Larras body splayed
wide.
Sturm stood back to review his
handiwork.
Filthy beast, thought
Larra. She had patiently waited
for her chance while the German tied her to the bulkhead, but he had never
once let down his guard. Now
all she could do was wait and hope that he might betray himself through
overconfidence.
Larra stood helplessly, her legs spread invitingly
as Sturm ogled her naked body.
Would he try to rape her now or wait until the plane took
off?
Sturm frowned as the engines of the plane
roared to life. He had the great
heroine,
He bent his head and gently kissed Larras
left nipple. Until later,
Fraulein. Moving to the back
of the compartment, he seated himself and strapped himself
in. He smiled at the helpless
adventuress as she glared at him, her violet eyes blazing
hate. In a few minutes he would
change that look.
Desperate for water, Larra would have fallen
had she not been supported by the ropes that bound her
wrists. Her magnificent bosom
heaved, her heavy breasts swaying as Sturm pounded into
her. It had been like this for
the last five hours. The German
officer seemed insatiable. He
had raped her quickly the first time, ramming into her with a ferocity that
rivaled anything she had ever
experienced. It had been painful
and humiliating, but mercifully brief.
He left her gasping in pain, her nether region inflamed and
throbbing. But only half an hour
later he was back. The second
time he was more thorough.
You are to be congratulated,
He had done his
best. Sturm was remarkably
well-endowed, and he used his phallus like an instrument of torture, driving
into her hard and fast with the intention of creating the greatest amount
of pain and discomfort. He succeeded
all too well. Larras ravaged
pleasure valley was ripped raw and she bled freely throughout the second
rape, but to Sturms consternation he could not get her to
scream. Even when he savagely
bit each of her breasts, Larra only moaned and then, gritting her teeth fought
back her urge to beg for mercy.
The third time she almost
broke. Her vaginal canal was
raw and bleeding. Every stroke
of Sturms lance had her close to screaming, but somehow she found the
strength and courage to deny him that
pleasure. Whether she would have
survived a fourth round she didnt
know. By this time Sturm had
outdone himself. His mighty organ
was too sore to continue.
Oriental whore, he
said. I should have known
that youd been fucked so many times that I could drive a truck into
your cunt. He slapped her
face, slamming her head into the bulkhead and then slapped it back the other
way.
Larras head lolled to one
side. The force of the blows
had almost knocked her unconscious.
Blood dribbled from one corner of her mouth where one of her teeth
had been driven through her lip.
Fucking bitch, Sturm
swore. He struck her again, this
time using his fist. Larra blacked
out and was spared the pain of the blow that slammed into her
belly. Only the fact that he
had been told not to harm the prisoners restrained
Sturm. Muttering a curse he left
her. There would be time enough
to deal with her later. One way
or the other he would teach the English bitch who was
boss.
Sturm returned to his
seat. The plane was
descending. It would refuel and
then fly on to
In single file the women trooped down the
gangway. Melissa saw that they
had arrived at an airport deep in the
mountains. In front of them was
a hanger and behind that a large concrete
building. Lined up in front of
them was an impressive-looking German
escort. Whatever the reason they
had been brought here, the Germans were taking no chance on their
escaping.
As the women set foot on the tarmac the line
of soldiers parted. From behind
them a tall monocled man wearing a dark suit stepped forward.
Featherstone, Melissa said
listlessly. Her heart
fell. Once again fate had delivered
her into the hands of her worst enemy.
