Larra’s Saharan Adventure

 

Chapter 5  Used and Abused

 

Katie got stiffly to her feet.  It was feeding time.  She and her companions had been prisoners of the slave traders for the last three days.  During that time, except for mocking and lecherous stares they had been left alone.  Well, not alone exactly.  Unmolested would be a better word.  How long that would last she didn’t know.

 

Ahmed set a bucket of swill in the middle of the group of captives.  “Shokran,” Katie said.  The word for ‘thank you’ was one the few she knew.  Ahmed smiled shyly back at her.  The young slave boy was not used to polite treatment as the scars on his back attested.  Katie reckoned there was no harm in a little civility.  Speaking of which, it was time to establish some rules with the other captives. 

 

There were eight others in all.  Three were powerfully built young black African men.  Five were women – two young black girls about ten years old and three young Tuareg women, ranging in age from about nine or ten to fourteen.  All of the females seemed absolutely terrified, and spent most of their time huddled in misery.  Katie could guess their fate.  Depending on their physical beauty they would be sold off to various buyers.  The plainer girls would probably end up as servants or even prostitutes.  Those who were more attractive might have the honour of becoming a wealthy man’s mistress or even part of the harem of a higher ranking Muslim. 

 

The problem was that the rations were rather short.  Insubstantial as they were, the only food they were given was a bucket of boiled millet.  The bigger and stronger male captives made a point of excluding the others from the meal until they were completely satisfied.  That left very little of the meager rations left for the women.  Katie and her two companions had decided that it was time for this state of affairs to end.  It had taken the three friends three days to recover from the flogging they had received.  If recover was the word.  Katie was so stiff that she could hardly move.  Amy and Jia Li were in similar condition, although surprisingly the Manchu woman moved more easily than either of the other two, despite having received more lashes that either of them. 

 

Katie hoped that the fact she was a white woman might be enough to get her way.  She did not want a violent confrontation with the three African men.  Flanked by her companions, she rose just as the three men moved in as usual to claim the lion’s share of the food.  Stepping forward, she interposed herself between the three men and the steaming bucket of cooked millet.  Jia Li and Amy stepped with her.  Their intentions could not have been more clear.  At first the boldness of their act seemed to leave the three African men nonplussed, but then their faces darkened.  The tallest of the trio, a man standing well over six feet and powerfully muscled, stepped toward, or rather he attempted to.  Katie footswept him just as he was placing his weight forward. 

 

With a startled shout, the man pitched forward, falling so heavily that he knocked the breath from his body.  As he lay there gasping, Katie seized his right wrist and twisting expertly forced his arm behind his back.  The other two men, stunned by the rapid turn of events backed away as Jia Li and Amy moved toward them.  One of them made a motion that Amy had seen used by African field workers on her father’s South African farm.  It was used to ward off the Devil.  She forced herself not to smile.  She knew that from now on the three men would be too frightened to give them any trouble. 

 

Katie motioned to the five young women, allowing them to eat first.  Then, to the surprise of the three African males she motioned that they should eat second.  The men seemed to have learned their lesson.  They left more than enough for Katie and her companions.  Katie gave what was left over to the men.

 

There were no more disputes over the food, but on the fourth day after their flogging, Mudada had all of the captives chained together.  Each of the prisoners was left with his or her hands free, but iron collars were placed abut each of their necks and connected by chains to the person next to them.  Katie, Amy, and Jia Li were scattered along the column.  The intent seemed to be to separate them.  It really didn’t matter in any case, as any attempt to speak was silenced by a blow of Mudada’s whip.  For the purposes of travel, each woman had been given a burnoose to cover her body.  Apparently Mudada did not want any of them to suffer severe sunburn or heat stroke while on the move. 

 

They marched east.   To the eleven slaves it was immaterial what direction they went.  The only concern of the three adventurers was whether or not one direction might offer more opportunity for escape than another; and only time would reveal that.

 

The first day’s march was grueling in the extreme.  Although Mudada seemed interested in making sure that none of his prizes died while on the march, and allowed them plenty of water, all of his captives were on foot and he and his men rode horses or camels.  The slaves were forced to keep up, and any one of them that lagged behind received a blow of the whip or was jerked forward by one of the other captives by the chain that connected them.  As a result, all of the prisoners were exhausted and footsore at the end of the day.  As soon as the procession halted for the day, they all slumped to the ground, but for one of them there was to be no rest that night. 

 

Katie felt a cold lump in her stomach as she was cut out of the line.  The iron collar around her throat was removed, but her hands were bound behind her back and her ankles were hobbled.  There wasn’t much she could do about it.  Six men had come to get her.  Five trained their rifles on Amy and Jia Li while the other bound her.  The slavers had found that the best way to get any of them to cooperate was to threaten their companions.  With a last look at her companions she was taken to Mudada’s tent.  It was the largest in the camp.  Inside the slaver was waiting for her, seated on a heap of cushions.  She was escorted to the villainous brigand and then they were left alone.

 

Mudada gloated over the woman he was about to rape.  “Special treat for you,” he jeered in his fragmented English.  “You get to be Mudada’s pony.  Ride you all night long.”

 

Katie turned her head away from the villain.  His breath stank and Katie had never seen any of the slavers take a bath or even wash.  She shuddered to be at the mercy of such a revolting thug.  “You proud?” asked Mudada.  “Too proud for simple bandit?  I change that - make you whore.”  His hands were now fondling Katie’s splendid body through her clothes.  The simple burnoose that covered her body had been designed for easy removal.  Rather than the usual one piece garment that most desert dwellers wore, her robe had laces on the sleeves so that she could be undressed without untying her.   Mudada tugged on the laces and then forcing Katie to her knees, pulled the loosened garment over her head. 

 

“So much beauty,” drooled the slaver.  “These like ripe melons.”  He closed his hands on her breasts, centering the taut nipples in his palms.

 

Katie breathed slowly and evenly.  She must not panic.  There was always a chance of escape if she just kept her head.  She strained her arms, testing her bonds.  The ropes holding her wrists had been well tied, almost cutting off the circulation.  In time she could probably get loose, but she doubted that the vile slaver would give her much time.  She suppressed a cry as his hands descended to her loins and a large finger was thrust between the lips of her vulva. 

 

“You be like virgin,” Mudada said, with obvious glee.  “Going to enjoy riding you.”  He dragged her to the pile of cushions, and then pushing her down so that she was on her back, he began to remove his clothing. 

 

Katie kept her cool even as the smell of the brigand’s unwashed body filled the tent, but her skin crawled at the thought of being touched by him.  Her revulsion increased as he open his robe and dropped it to the rug floor of the tent.  He was far from a pretty sight, being somewhat heavy of girth.  Folds of fat jiggled about his stomach and chest.  His male organ, however, was impressive and it was fully erect.  She tried not to look at it.  Facing the ultimate humiliation and violation, her breathing increased slightly even as she fought to stay calm.  Inside her heart hammered against her ribcage.  She was sure that every beat sounded like a drum.

 

Mudada reached down and seized the helpless blonde by her hair.  He yanked her to her knees, causing a gasp of pain and pulled her face toward his swelling manhood.  “You suck,” he commanded.  “No bite or I take out teeth.”

 

Katie’s face twisted in pain as Mudada held her by the hair and directed her mouth toward his engorged penis.  The smell of his sex organ was strong in her nostrils and she had to fight back the urge to gag.   She clenched her teeth, refusing to submit to his demand. 

 

“Aahh!” Mudada released her hair with one hand and slapped her face.  The force of the blow jerked her head sideways.  He slapped her again and then again, each blow bringing tears to her eyes.  By the third blow she was literally seeing stars. 

 

“Uunggh!  Mmmpph!” Katie protested as the brigand drove his heavy organ past her lips.  The powerful slaps to her face had left her too disoriented to resist.  Holding her head with both hands, Mudada forced her to fellate him, driving again and again into her warm mouth, until he had thoroughly lubricated himself with her saliva.  All the while she tried to pull away, but she was forced to perform the disgusting task even as he drove to the very back of her throat, almost suffocating her.  When he finally released her, she gasped like a fish as he pushed her onto her back. 

 

“No!” Katie shouted as Mudada moved between her powerful thighs.  Twisting her body, she tried to close her legs, but the bandit was already between them.  She could do no more that clamp her legs about his thighs in a vain effort to keep him from taking her. 

 

Mudada laughed in delight.  The Englishwoman was so full of fight.  He had never seen women so strong or defiant.  He was used to females who screamed and pleaded, but usually gave up without a struggle.  This golden haired lioness was something else again.  What would the other two would be like?  He could hardly wait to find out.  In the meantime, he was enjoying this one immensely.  He could not remember when he had ever had an erection this hard. 

 

He let her struggle for awhile.  She was wonderful to watch as she fought to escape, her golden blonde hair flying in all directions and her large breasts bouncing erotically.  Sweat covered her body giving it a fine sheen in the dim light of the oil lamp.  Finally he could contain himself no longer, and gripping her hips he thrust into her.

 

Katie screamed.  Not so much in pain, but because of the horror and humiliation of being violated.  She had done everything she could to try and stop her assailant and it had been for nothing.  He was forcing his way into her, parting her vulva and penetrating her fully.  Then he pounded into her writhing body as she fought desperately to get him out of her.  After awhile she stopped, and lay quietly, breathing heavily, her eyes closed.    She had lost, and she realized that her struggles were simply making her violation all the more enjoyable.  Unresisting, she let him rape her. 

 

With a grunt, Mudada finished her off.  Up until the end, the blonde Englishwoman had been very special, but he had broken her.  Now she lay still, denying him any more pleasure.  He grinned his crooked toothed smile.  It would be interesting to see how she reacted when he turned her over to his men.  Getting to his feet, he went to the door of the tent and called to Jafari.  “She is ready for you.  I think you will find her most entertaining.”

 

 

Larra picked up the red silk sash.  “This was Katies’s,” she said to Melissa.  “I don’t like this.”

 

“About a dozen men,” said Al-Majiid.  “They were here no more than a four days ago.  It appears that your friends may have run into them.”

 

“Who would they be?” asked Larra.  She was deeply concerned that her friends might have encountered unexpected danger. 

 

Al-Majiid frowned.  “It is not good news.  From the looks of the camp and the tracks it appears they may have encountered slavers.”

 

“Slavers?” echoed Melissa.  She had picked up just enough of the Bedu language to be dangerous. 

 

Larra just looked at her.  They both knew what was the likely fate of women who fell into the hands of slave traders.  They could only hope that their friends might be considered valuable enough that they would not be molested. 

 

Al Majiid pointed the ground.  “Look at these scuff marks and the bloodstains.  It appears that there was quite a battle.  But it is difficult to determine who was hurt and who won or lost.”  He began to follow a set of prints around the oasis.  He paused by a grove of trees.

 

“It appears that someone was tied to the palms.  There are the footprints of three women.  I feared they may have been beaten.” 

 

Larra swore under her breath.  She would find the bastard that had captured and tortured her friends and make him pay for what he had done.

 

“Son-of-a-bitch,” muttered Melissa.  “I’ll have their balls if I catch up with them.”

 

“Not very ladylike in her expression,” thought Larra, “but those are my sentiments exactly.”

 

By now they had moved to the far side of the oasis.  Al Majiid knelt and studied the ground.  “Here they were chained to another group of captives.  Then they were led away in that direction.”  He pointed to the southeast.  “It is a good sign.  It shows that they were still able to walk.  They could not have been treated too badly.”

 

Lara knew that the sheik was just trying to put the best face of the situation.  There was little doubt that if the three beautiful women had been captured by a group of slave traders they could not expect good treatment.  Their only protection would be the fact that they would be too valuable as merchandise to harm.  But exactly how much protection that would offer was questionable.  Larra shivered as she though of the ordeals she had undergone when captured.  She could only hope, but perhaps if the women were very lucky they might be spared the sort of treatment dealt out to female captives until she and Melissa caught up with them.

 

Melissa seemed to read her mind.  “Don’t worry Larra,” the tall brownette said as she placed her arm around Larra’s waist.  “They’re probably alright.  They are pretty tough, cookies.”  Larra gave a forced smile.  She certainly hoped her younger companion was right.

 

 

Katie was almost sick with fear.  She had foolishly hoped that her sexual degradation at the hands of the slavers was over, at least for one night.  But she now saw that it was just starting.  Her wrists still bound behind her, she had been led from Mudada’s tent by Jafari.  Waiting for her was every man in the camp with the exception of the two men who were guarding the captives.  Ten men in all.  And every once of them fixed her with a look of undisguised lust.  She felt sick as she realized what was to come.

 

The men swarmed around her, lifting her bodily and carrying her to a blanket near the fire.  Dumping her on the ground, they pinned her down while they untied her.  This action confused her and gave her hope for a second, until she realized that her chances of escaping from the clutches of ten men were remote indeed.  What they wanted was for her to struggle in order to add to their sadistic enjoyment.  Gritting her teeth in determination, Katie decided to deny them that pleasure.  She might be forced to let them use her, but she did not have to provide them with any extra entertainment.  They could do what they wanted with her.  She could not stop them, but she would not fight or scream.

 

That resolution lasted only a few seconds.  As her legs were wrenched apart and the first of the slavers moved between her powerful thighs she lost all composure.  She let out a shriek of rage and fear.  “No!  Nooo!”  Arching her body she kicked and fought with all her might, lunging desperately against the hands that held her.  Her captors let the golden haired goddess thrash desperately as she battled to avoid further violation, and then Jafari, who was the man between her legs, gripped her flexing buttocks and lunged into her. 

 

Katie screamed again as he penetrated her.  It was not so much from the pain, but from the horror of having a dozen hands on her body.  She was pinched and groped everywhere they could reach.  As Jafari began to ram in and out of her two men began to suck on each of her breasts, while a third grabbed her hair and pulled her head back preparatory to taking her in the mouth.  Another inserted a finger into her anus thrusting it in up to the second knuckle.  She managed one more scream before she was forcibly arched back and her mouth was entered.

 

Across the other side of the camp, Jia Li glanced at Amy.  There was nothing to be said.  Katie’s screams told it all.  Her dark eyes filled with tears and she bowed her head.  She had never felt so helpless.  Listening to the sounds of her friend being raped was one of the most horrible experiences of her life.  The sound of a sniffle caused her to look in the direction of the young Tuareg teenager.  The girl was weeping in terror, no doubt fearing from Katie’s example what was about to happen to her.  The girl was only a chain’s length away.  Reaching out, she took the girl’s hand.  Speaking not a word of her language, she could say nothing to comfort her, but the touch of her hand seemed to help.  The girl quieted.  Jia Li stifled a sigh.  There was at least something she could do.

 

Exhausted, Katie lay quietly as each man took his turn.  Somehow one of the slavers had gotten beneath her.  With some effort he had managed to ram his way into her anus and was thrusting into her with obvious grunts of enjoyment.  Another was taking her in the vagina.  She had lost track of how many men had already been there.  Was it seven or was it eight?  And did it matter?  She gagged as the man in her mouth ejaculated.  As he pulled out his dripping phallus she screamed as the man beneath her jammed deep within her.  Then another man took the place of the man in her mouth.  She managed one more scream as her breasts were viciously twisted by the men on either side of her, and then the routine of the triple rape continued. 

 

It went on most of the night.  She probably serviced the band of slavers at least three times each.  She wasn’t sure.  Everything became a blur after awhile.  As dawn tinted the sky, she was led back to the other captives.  She had been allowed to put her robe back on, but staggered as she walked.  Droplets of blood from her ravaged vagina traced a trail in the dry sand as she stumbled back into her place in line.  She did not look at Jia Li or Amy.  That would have been too much.  Slumping to the ground, she waited while she was chained in place once again.  Too beaten to care what was happening she lapsed into a coma-like sleep while the camp stirred around her, not waking until the touch of Mudada’s whip jolted her back to life.

 

“Get up Eenglish bitch,” the slaver taunted, prodding her with the whip handle.  “You sleep long enough.”

 

With a barely audible whimper, Katie dragged herself to her feet.  She had never felt so completely defeated.  Almost crying with pain, she took her place in the line.  At a shout from Mudada the captives moved off. 

 

The slaver chieftain watched the blonde stagger forward.  Her progess was most satisfactory.  She was a beautiful woman, but possessed of too much spirit.  If he was to get a decent price for her he needed to break that spirit.  Obedient slaves always sold better.  In a day or so he would test her again.  In the meantime he would take one of the others.  He licked his lips.  The black-haired one or the redhead?  He would think about it.  Either way, tonight was going to be most pleasant.
