CHAPTER SIX
The General's Sister
The eunuchs opened the second cage and dragged out the naked woman. I hadn't noticed it while she was in the cage, but her features were slightly different than most of the men in the compound and her skin was a slightly different shade of black, just a little lighter. Perhaps she was of a different tribe or ethnic group.
While they were dragging her forward, a squad of soldiers was carrying in a platform on which were two large upright posts about seven feet tall. Two sets of chains hung from the top of each post and at least two lengths of chain were attached to the bottom of each post. After the soldiers set the platform in front of the general, the eunuchs walked the woman up onto the platform and held her upright between the posts with her feet together. Then, using one of the top chains and some leather strips, they tied her left wrist in place. When they moved to the right wrist, they pulled hard on her arm so that she was held tight between the posts, almost lifting her off the ground. Then they moved to her ankles. One of the eunuchs forced her left leg as wide as possible before the other eunuch bound it in place with the leather strips. When they pulled her right leg out into position, her body lowered slightly, putting even more strain on her wrists and arms, causing her to groan slightly in pain. After some additional pulling on her right leg they were finally finished. The woman was now bound in a very, very tight naked X between the two posts.
The general said something in Swahili and one of the officers standing on the platform walked to the front and jumped down to the ground. He then carefully removed his uniform and draped it on the front edge of the platform. His underclothing followed and he walked naked out to the bound slave.
"That is my brother-in-law," the general said to me. "He was having an affair with that little half-breed slut. I gave him the choice of being the one who punishes her or being exiled with her to the heart of the wild lands." He laughed and continued, "He knows that those I exile to the wild lands are usually tied to trees and covered in honey. It is amazing how fast the safari ants will strip a body clean there."
He paused for a moment and then said sharply, "And I demanded that he be as naked as she was while he punished her since that was how he was when he made love to her."
As the naked soldier approached the bound woman, one of the eunuchs handed him a short, multi-strand whip. "Thirty from the back, twenty from the front, and ten between her legs," the general roared out.
The bound, naked woman was obviously pleading with her lover not to do this to her, but he merely stood there quietly. One of the eunuchs approached with a large white, plastic bucket. The naked officer objected, but the general called out, "It is ordered!" and the man held out the whip in front of himself.
As the eunuch poured something over the strands of the whip from the bucket the bound woman again began pleading, but the man remained impassive. After the whip was thoroughly wetted, the naked officer then stood behind the bound woman and began swinging the whip. He started high on her back and slowly worked his way down to her legs. While he whipped, a female voice was calling out something in Swahili. Since it was a short cry and corresponded to the strikes of the whip, I assume she was counting the strokes.
The woman stood crying, but otherwise impassive, as the thirty strokes were delivered. I could hear the whip strike, but there was no sharp crack like you would expect if the stroke were exceedingly hard. Evidently the officer-- her former lover-- was trying to make the punishment as light as possible.
The man then moved around so he could swing at her front. Again the voice counted the strikes. After about ten the woman began screaming. The man looked very confused and almost stopped, but the general's voice called out, "Continue!" and he resumed despite the woman's screams.
The general laughed and leaned down to explain, "The blows with that fairy whip aren't what hurts. But the thin strands of the whip cut the skin slightly no matter how lightly you strike." He beamed triumphantly and added, "... and the burning oils on the whip take a little while to heat up."
The bound slave was bouncing up and down and screaming in pain by the time her former lover finished the twenty across her front. He paused again as if he wanted to stop, but the general called out loudly, "You aren't finished," so the naked man stepped behind the bound woman and began swinging the whip up between her legs. Again the strikes were not all that hard, but her screaming got louder and more shrill with each stroke.
When he had finished the last stroke, he dropped the whip on the platform and walked back to where he had left his clothes. But before he could put anything on, the general ordered harshly, "Fuck her!"
The man's face showed his anger... and then his fear... and then his despair as he slowly walked back to the platform and stood in front of his lover. One of the eunuchs walked over and used his hand to get the officer stiff. Then he pushed him toward the crying woman who was bound between the posts.
Fucking a woman tied in a tight X is not as easy as some people think. She can't move up or down so you have to lower your body by bending your knees and then get your prick lined up with her cunt as you stand back up. It took the man several tries to enter the woman, but he finally did.
After he stood there not moving for a few moments, the general roared out angrily, "I said, 'Fuck her!'"
The man started awkwardly thrusting. He had only made a few thrusts when the eunuchs came up on the platform and grabbed his hands. Each one pulled up and out and soon the man was tied to the second set of chains on the top of the posts.
The man was no longer really trying to thrust, but was more or less just standing there when the eunuchs used a wide band of leather to tie the lovers' waists tightly together. Then they pulled the man's legs wide and tied them to the second set of lower chains. His naked X was not quite as tight as the woman's.
A woman came walking out into the open area. She was fully dressed in a loose, flowing, African-style dress. As she approached the platform, one of the eunuchs walked out to her and handed her the whip. She said something to him and he scurried off and returned with the large white bucket. This time the eunuch didn't pour the liquid over the whip. Instead, the woman plunged it into the bucket and swished it around several times. It was dripping heavily when she pulled it out.
"That is my sister," the general said with a smile. "She is not as forgiving as I am."
He smiled again. His smile was really starting to irritate me. For some reason, the little crocodile poem in Alice in Wonderland began running through my mind. I was starting to think that I was one of the little fishes that are welcomed with the crocodile's "gently smiling jaws."
The voice of the person who had been counting the strokes began again. The Divine General's sister was now standing next to the bound couple swinging with all her might. Unlike before, the whip now gave a distinctive "Snap!" with each blow as it struck the back of the unfortunate woman. After about ten strokes the general's sister changed her position so she could strike her husband's back. After another ten strokes, she switched back to beating the woman. Soon both bound lovers were crying out loudly.
"I told her no more than fifty," the general said, making a motion with his hands, "but you know how sisters are."
I couldn't understand the words of the person keeping count, but judging by the number of times she had switched her position, I was pretty sure that it was well above fifty. Then the sister paused and stood there breathing heavily.
"Only fifteen more," the general called out. "That is an order from the Divine One!"
His sister looked up at him and smiled. Her smile, if anything, was more evil than the general's. She walked over to the bucket sitting on the ground and plunged the whip back into it. Then she walked over to the platform and stepped up directly behind her husband... now ex-husband?
The first swing of the multi-strand whip was directly up between the legs of her husband and his lover. He called out in pain. The woman was evidently already unconscious or past the point of calling out from the pain. The sister delivered ten blows from behind her husband and then walked around so that she was behind his lover. She delivered an additional five from that side. The whip snapped up between the man's asscheeks with each blow. She started to swing a sixth time, but one of the eunuchs caught her arm. He said something softly and she dropped the whip onto the ground and strode back to a car that was parked next to the general's reviewing stand. The car immediately started and drove away.
