Sarah hung motionlessly beneath the flying Taker, not that she had much of a choice. The powerful tentacles kept her entire body tightly bound, save for her nose, which slightly protruded and allowed her to breathe. The cool, high-altitude winds struck her reddened skin, causing her nose to run as she took rapid, fearful breaths. The powerful vibrations of the Taker's dragonfly-like wings reverberated through her entire body, stimulating every inch of her trembling flesh.
Her thoughts were a jumbled mess of worries. Were her friends okay? Was this thing going to drop her by mistake? What happened to A'luhr? What did the new queen have in store for them all? Sarah's body involuntarily shuddered thinking about the ruthless edging she had had to endure when previously captured and tears started to well up in her closed eyes, both from the fear of having to undergo such an ordeal again and from the anticipation of being able to experience those mind-breaking orgasms.
Having sex with Adam over the past week had been a nice way to scratch that itch, but there was always a nagging feeling in the back of her mind - a hidden desire slowly coming to a boil - to yet again have every hole completely filled with tentacle cocks. As much as her brain tried to fight it, her largest erogenous zone knew what it wanted, even though the rest of her body shook with fear.
Sarah had lost count of the minutes that ticked by due to her mind being in such disarray, but eventually she felt the creature holding her begin to descend. Suddenly, dim, orange light greeted her eyes as the tentacles restricting her trembling body gave way and she tumbled a few feet through the air, landing with a squelch on a spongy, flesh-like surface. She heard the buzzing of the Taker receding above her as she sat up, covered in slime and attempting to get her bearings.
Because she had been subjected to total darkness for quite a while in the Taker's grasp, Sarah's eyes stung from the pulsating light of the tentacled walls around her, despite their dimness. She blinked and began to look around as best she could through her bleary vision. Suddenly she froze, having sensed movement nearby. Through the blurry darkness, a humanoid shape was shuffling towards her. Remembering her earlier experience with Mary and other "thralls" as A'luhr had called them, Sarah tensed up, ready to fight.
Just as Sarah was about to lash out at the approaching figure, a soft, scared voice croaked towards her.
"S-Sarah...? I-is that you...?" It was Zoey. "I... I can't see very well in this darkness - I think I lost my glasses... please... say something if it's you..." She sounded like she was on the verge of tears, or that she had already been crying for some time now. Her voice shook as she tried to put on a brave front, despite apparently having been nearly blind all this time.
"Y-yeah, Zoey," Sarah said in what she hoped was a comforting voice. "It's me. Come here..." She wrapped her arms around the girl and tightly hugged her to her chest. She could feel Zoey's small frame shake as she let her tears freely flow, dampening Sarah's already slime-covered lab coat. "Shh... shh... it's okay. We're going to be okay." Sarah whispered into Zoey's ear, gently rocking with the girl while running a hand through her hair. Zoey's ponytail had come undone and most of her hair was caked with the slime from the Taker's tentacles and the oozing surfaces around them. Sarah didn't care, however, and continued to stroke the scared teenager's head.
"I... I don't... I don't know where Stevie is..." Zoey managed to speak through choked sobs. "Or... or Adam... *hic*... I thought... I thought I was all alone..." She tightly grabbed onto Sarah's coat as if afraid to let go. Sarah was reminded that, despite being sharp for her age, possessing a considerable competitive spirit, and having already witnessed enough traumatic events to last a lifetime, Zoey was still quite young - barely into her womanhood.
"I'm here now," Sarah murmured. "We'll find them and get out of here. A'luhr managed to... escape... and I'm sure she's on her way here right now to help." Sarah didn't actually know what had happened to A'luhr, having only gotten a brief glimpse of her before being blinded - but at least she was alive - and knowing A'luhr, she would find a way out of the situation.
"C'mon, can you stand?" Sarah gently asked. "We don't seem to be in danger at the moment, but we can't stay here."
"Y-yeah..." Zoey sniffled. "I can't see well in the dark though..."
"Hold onto my hand." Sarah took Zoey's arm and shakily helped her to her feet. The two of them slowly started to make their way down the squishy passage, hand in hand, with Sarah cautiously trying to peer ahead as they went. There was only one way to go, as the entrance that the Taker had returned through was blocked-off by a thick wall of tentacles that had webbed across the opening.
It was eerily quiet, with the only sounds being Zoey sniffing her runny nose and the slight squelching and slithering coming from the fleshy surfaces around them. Sarah had expected to be immediately assaulted and stripped naked by tentacles, but they hadn't seen any hostile creatures, nor any other signs of life, after several minutes of trudging along.
"Why did they bring us here...?" Zoey asked, more to herself than to Sarah, who naturally had no idea either.
"Wait... shh!" Sarah suddenly hissed, pulling Zoey close to the wall (without touching it though, as it was still pretty gross). They had just reached a turn in the passageway and there was a small commotion coming from around the bend. Sarah furtively poked her head out to take a look at what was making the muffled noises, which sounded almost like... laughter?
Sarah brought her hand up to cover her mouth to prevent the sound of her gasp from being heard. Down the path was an opening to a larger chamber that was more brightly lit by the incandescent tentacles writhing along the surfaces. The warm glow illuminated several nude humans grinding their bodies against one another while moaning and laughing drunkenly. Sarah pegged them to be about an even mix of men and women, though they were of various ethnicities and ages.
What drew Sarah's eyes the most, however, were the two people suspended in the air by tentacles above the orgy. The two of them stood out by being the only ones that were wearing clothing. Sarah immediately recognized them.
"It's... Adam and my brother!" Zoey whispered, having also taken a curious peek. "What are all those people doing!? Why aren't they helping them?"
"I bet those are more of the people who have willingly submitted to the Krinis..." Sarah mused. "The pleasure was irresistible..."
