Shadow Of Secrets Pt 15

**Disclaimer: All characters are 18+, no underage characters will ever be portrayed in any shape or form in this or any future stories.**

**Lana's point of view**

As the brutal thrusts kept coming and hitting Lana's body; she was rapidly loosing any hopes of a rescue with every disgusting orgasm that shook her body. Only one thought kept going through her mind "only if I had focused more on developing my powers I wouldn't be in this mess!"

She had tried everything after having freed herself from the trunk of the car; she had begged the men who were now fucking her to have mercy on her - didn't work. She screamed as loud as she could for anyone to come help her - knowing the city and it's scared people she knew it was a long shot anyway. She even tried to bite and kick the men but that only enraged them and resulted in her getting her ass slapped till it was probably red - the stings alone were unbearable.

After a couple of small orgasms hitting her sexually inexperienced body she could feel and hear the wetness coming out of her pussy; her own body betraying her. The man kept his thrusting inside her constant as he spewed the most vile things in her ear about how tight her pussy was and how it would no longer be tight when he was through with her. The other man was slightly more cowardly yet no less depraved with his desires for her young 19 year old body. He kept watch but also kept saying how when it was his turn he was going to breed her.

All hope was lost and Lana had all but given up; a particularly brutal thrust had her scream out in pain but a massive orgasm hit her body instead. Yet something felt off this time; her mind suddenly felt free as if she was not confined to her own brain. In that moment Lana felt another presence nearby and with all her might she begged whoever it was for help. Lana realized that her powers had manifested in her for the first time in her life. Despite being in this situation Lana thanked the gods for helping her this way yet she felt the psychic connection break filling her with dread once more.

Last sliver of hope having taken from her; Lana felt another massive orgasm hit her and finally her eyes went dark. She was slipping into unconsciousness and even through that she kept feeling the man's intrusions in her pussy. Until suddenly he stopped? There was a sudden gust of wind and then even the man's cock left her body and Lana felt his body weight lift off of her. What was happening? She definitely heard a muffled cry of pain before a sharp cracking sound followed by a loud thud near her. But before she could try and see what was happening; her eyes finally went dark and she slipped into unconsciousness.

# ~~~~~~~~~

Lana had a dream that she was flying. Or was she falling? She definitely was feeling heavy wind hitting her face so maybe flying. She did have her wings after all. Wait! No! No of course not! Those monsters couldn't let her keep them and risk her escaping. This was probably a dream or maybe she was being carried?

Finally she opened her eyes and felt her own heavy body. She sat up and realized she had been laying on a makeshift bed out of hay and old clothes. Recalling her hellish experience before she passed out she started to look around the place. It was some sort of basement room with a door right in front of her. She jumped to her feet hoping to throw the door open and run out before the men came back for her. Though the moment she got to her feet she felt how much her body ached not to mention how sore she was all over. She had barely any strength left in her body to get up let alone run. What was going on? This place is different from the one she was previously kept at by those men. Did something change? What happened to those men just before she passed out? Was she rescued or had she traded in one hell to another?

Just then the door opened with a loud creaking noise and a tall, beautiful woman walked in with a very worried look on her face. Lana had a very eerie feeling that she had seen this woman somewhere before but before she could try harder the woman spoke in a smooth and soothing voice "Honey? Are you feeling okay? You are safe for now so you don't have to worry about anything okay?"

The woman slowly approached Lana and she noticed the plateful of food in her hands for the first time; her stomach roared letting her know how much she was starving. Those vile men had force fed her nothing but..... cum! She could still remember the pain of the tube they had forced down her throat to make her drink it everyday.

The woman gently extended the plate towards Lana as she said "You should eat..... I'm Eva by the way." The way this Eva woman was acting towards Lana; she was reminded of her mother, Hayley. Eva had the same worry lines on her forehead and the same motherly look of concern on her face. Lana took the plate from her without a word and smelling it suspiciously only for a moment before starting to wolf down the food from the plate with her bare hands.

As she ate, she looked closely at Eva, trying to recall where she had seen her before. Eva returned her gaze, watching Lana quietly as she devoured the food. She looked concerned, yet determined.

"I've seen you before, haven't I?" Lana asked, breaking the silence.

Eva's face changed as she tried to think about it before shaking her head, "No, I don't think you have honey. I found you last night. I have never seen you before though. You must be exhausted and got me mixed up with someone else?"

Lana's memory suddenly flooded with image of her mother's old trunk stored in the attic. There had been a picture of her mother and a bunch of her old friends from her superhero past; with names scribbled under everyone in the margins of the photo.

Eva "The Shadow" was definitely one of them in that picture; though she looked slightly younger back then. Lana's jaw fell open as she finally connected the dots in her mind and exclaimed "Oh my god! You are 'The Shadow'!"

Eva looked back at Lana with a surprised look on her face which quickly shifted back to indifference as she said "I don't think so honey.... I still think you are mistaking me for someone else."

Eva replied, her tone shifting to reveal a hint of uncertainty. "But hey, I guess it doesn't really matter right now, does it? All that matters is that you're safe now and I promise to take care of you until we figure out what to do next."

As Lana finished eating, she studied Eva closely, pondering whether it was possible that she was wrong about her identity. Eva's warm, comforting demeanor made her hesitate to press further, but curiosity burned within her.

Lana's gaze swept across Eva's curvaceous form, lingering on her toned arms and chest, wondering if she possessed the same incredible strength and agility as the legend she had read about. However, she chose to respect Eva's denial and moved on, focusing on the task at hand.

"Thank you for rescuing me, Eva....... or should I call you 'The Shadow'?" Lana smiled shyly, unsure if she should joke about the truth she'd uncovered. Eva's expression remained stoic, seemingly unaffected by the comment.

She casually brushed aside Lana's inquiry, changing the subject. "How about we go upstairs and give you a proper shower? We don't want any nasty odors sticking around, do we?"

Lana hesitated, her heart pounding wildly in her chest. She knew that confronting Eva about her true identity would lead to questions and explanations neither of them were ready to address. Still, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she owed Eva the truth, regardless of the consequences.

"Actually, Eva, I remember you from mom's old photos. I recognize you as 'The Shadow'. I won't say anything if you prefer to stay hidden, but I'm grateful for your help."

Eva's reaction was immediate, her composure shaken as she stared into nothingness for a brief moment. "Your mother? What photo?" Her question hung thick in the air -- an insinuation that someone else had revealed her secret.

"It doesn't matter," Lana responded softly, sensing Eva's distress. "I appreciate the help you gave me, and I understand the reasons why you might want to remain anonymous."

Eva nodded, accepting Lana's understanding. "I was afraid you might tell someone, but I trust you enough to continue helping you. Now, let's get out of these dirty clothes and take that shower."

For the first time after waking up in this place Lana noticed with slight shame that she was still in that ridiculously tight latex gimp suit except Eva had taken off the mask that came with it. As Eva tried to help Lana off to her feet; Lana recoiled away from her in an instant. Eva realised her mistake and quickly took her hand away apologising.

Lana was embarrassed about the whole thing and was not truly ready to cope with all the memories of her time after being abducted. The memories of her father being held down by couple of men as a few more had their way with her mother Hayley on their marital bed were straining to break free in her mind. It took everything in Lana's mind to keep those memories from flooding her entire mind and consuming her completely.

Eva put a small bag of clothes nearby as she said "it's okay honey .... There is a small working shower upstairs ... it's barely working but it will do for now. Use it and get dressed in something you want from the bag. I'm trying to make sure you aren't being tracked in any way before I move you to a better place to stay okay? So don't leave this place till then. Can you do that for me honey?" Lana nodded softly responding to Eva's comfortingly warm motherly voice.

As the two women ascended the narrow staircase, they could hear the faint sounds of a bustling city outside. Lana took a deep breath, savoring the sensation of fresh air touching her skin. With every step, her confidence grew, replacing the fear and anxiety that had plagued her since her abduction. She trusted Eva implicitly, recognising a maternal quality in her that reminded her of her mother.

"Alright, honey," Eva said gently, opening the door to a dimly lit bathroom. "This shower isn't perfect, but it'll serve our purpose." Eva reassured Lana, flashing a gentle smile as she stepped aside and gestured toward the shower area.

Lana hesitated for a moment, allowing her gaze to wander over the modest space. The shower-head hung low, casting a weak stream of water onto the worn, stained tiles below. The walls, adorned with peeling, yellowed stickers, stood as testament to years of use. Nonetheless, it was a welcome respite from the horrors she had endured, and Lana found solace in Eva's protective presence.

She removed her clothing, revealing the physical toll her captivity had taken on her body. Bruises marred her delicate flesh, and her skin bore the marks of countless bruises and scuffs. As she stepped beneath the trickle of water, she allowed herself the slightest moment of relief, basking in the warmth seeping into her pores. Lana winced and hissed as the slightly warm water hit a particularly sore spot on her body.

Eva hearing Lana's hiss, concern etched into her features "I wish I could do more to ease your suffering," she murmured sympathetically. Eva had her back turned to let Lana have some modicum of privacy though if she had looked back she would have been horrified to see a completely healed wound that had scarred over time on Lana's back.

The monsters who had captured her had taken away something very significant from Lana - her wings. In order to take away any chance of freeing herself they had severed her wings from her back. They had been a part of Lana since her birth yet now she felt a deep loss as she felt water trickle down her back where her wings were supposed to be. Lana's powers were new to her though she doubted her powers could ever help her get her wings back. They were lost to her forever.

Hayley had always referred to Lana as her 'sweet angle' because of the pearl white wings that she was born with. Now all that was left on her back were hideous scars to remind her of the loss. Yet thinking about Hayley instantly flooded Lana's mind with memories of her mother. The soothingly warm smile she always carried with her which then morphed into pained cries from the moment of their family being torn apart by those men. The last memory Lana had of her family was months ago when those men separated all of them from each other mere days after their abduction.

# ~~~~~~~~~

A few days went by as Lana stayed down in the basement where Eva had hidden her away; Lana felt her strength coming back to her gradually though recovering mentally from all the trauma was going to be a difficult task for her. Every day twice Eva would bring lots of food for Lana before spending some time with her; having light conversations.

Lana appreciated how Eva never pressed her for any details about her abduction or where her mother was now. Lana wasn't ready and Eva had accepted that. Lana wanted nothing more than to get back out in the world and try any way to help her family though the horrors she had been subjected to kept her will power at minimum. Every night she stayed down here Lana had nightmares of the same thing over and over again which she tried her best to keep suppressed. Her father had just been a tool for the abductors to get her mother to comply. Once they had firm grip over Hayley it was only a matter of time before they had sufficient hold over Lana and her sister, Amelia.

Lana had managed to get away from the waking nightmare; she feared for her mother and sister. She had no idea what they were being subjected to now. Less so about her father and her boyfriend who was unfortunately also there with them at their house that day.

Her sister Amelia was the youngest (18) of them all and she feared they might hurt her in ways she couldn't imagine. Just thinking about it made her shiver. She wanted to focus on the present and get better; Eva was taking good care of her and she didn't want to lose such a wonderful person who had risked her own safety to save her. She needed to focus on healing and planning ways to rescue her family.

"Eva," Lana began, breaking the silence between them. "Can you teach me how to defend myself?" Lana asked, her voice trembling with determination. "I want to be able to protect myself and rescue my family from those monsters again."

Eva considered her request carefully, weighing the potential risks and benefits. "Of course, honey," she agreed, her tone softening. "But you need to be patient and willing to learn. I cannot train you overnight," Eva cautioned gently. "Are you up for the challenge?"

Lana nodded bravely, her determination shining through her exhaustion. "Yes, I am. I owe you my life, and I'll do whatever it takes to learn how to protect myself and my loved ones."

"Good girl," Eva praised, her eyes glistening with pride. "We'll start tomorrow morning, and I'll teach you everything I know. For now, rest and recover. Tomorrow, we begin your training." Eva offered Lana a tender smile, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

"I've set up a comfortable sleeping area for you downstairs. Get some rest, and we'll start fresh in the morning."

Eva led Lana back to the basement, where a cozy nest awaited her among the discarded blankets and pillows. Lana gratefully crawled in, snuggling into the layers of fabric and relishing the warmth enveloping her weary body. Eva's presence lingered, a palpable reminder of the protection she provided.

As Lana drifted off to sleep, she began to dream once more, her subconscious weaving images of past traumas and future battles. In her dreams, she was reunited with her beloved mother, Hayley, and together they fought off those men that threatened their lives. As the dreamscape unfolded, Lana became aware of her latent powers, the winds swirling around her, and the earth rumbling beneath her feet. In her dreams, she was unstoppable, untouchable, her wings still intact.

Together with her mother, they faced an endless parade of villains, each more grotesque than the last. As they battled, Lana's powers blossomed, the winds whipping around her and the earth quivering as she summoned lightning strikes. Hayley watched her daughter with awe, pride, and joy reflected in her eyes. Lana reveled in the freedom of movement and power, embracing every second of this fleeting fantasy.

Their triumphant laughter echoed through the dreamscape, mingling with the cacophony of battle cries and clashing weapons. Though the happy dream quickly shifted to her usual nightmare of scenes of watching her mother being fucked by those men in front of her own two daughters before being separated from each other. Her mother's muffled screams mixed with pained moans remained etched in her memories now.

Lana woke up from the nightmare screaming; praying for her mother and sister to be saved somehow until she realised she had escaped the nightmare herself while they still were stuck back there. She was feeling survivors guilt for having somehow escaping her torment by some luck.

# ~~~~~~~~~

Next morning, just as promised Eva started training Lana with basic self defense techniques though Lana struggled with even the most basic movements while her mind wrestled with thoughts of her nightmare; Eva obviously encouraged her in her warm voice saying it was not an easy thing to master right away.

A couple more days of training went by like that before Lana started to feel frustrated at herself and her inability to grasp the basics. Eva had decided to give her some break for a day to focus better and had spent her time just talking to Lana.

They talked about nothing in particular and Lana got the distinct feeling that Eva avoided touching any subject that would make Lana uncomfortable. She appreciated that about Eva. Lana also observed that a couple of time through the week Eva carried a uniform of sorts in her bag which she changed into just before leaving; when asked about it Eva told her about her normal job as a hostess at some club nearby. Though the way the outfit was designed in a very revealing way Lana suspected the club was much weirder and far from normal than what Eva let on.

Not wanting to pry too much Lana simply dropped the topic and they continued talking about nothing in particular. When Eva had to leave for work Lana had a strange feeling of unease; she thought it was her worries for her mother and sister creeping up on her. She tried her best to distract herself by diving into her training sessions though she seemed to be getting worse rather than better.

Her frustrations mounted as she missed punch after punch, stumbling over simple footwork drills. Eva's encouraging words did little to alleviate her mounting anxiety. Feeling defeated, Lana sought solace in a quiet corner of the basement, her shoulders slumping in defeat.

Eva sensed her despondency and approached her cautiously, her voice laced with empathy. "Take a breather, honey. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. You'll get stronger, and we'll tackle this together."

Eva's gentle touch on Lana's shoulder elicited a sense of comfort and familiarity that transcended their short acquaintance.

"Focus on the process, darling," Eva whispered, her warm breath tickling Lana's neck. "Master the basics, and the complexity will follow."

Lana nodded, drawing strength from Eva's soothing encouragement. She remembered Hayley teaching her the importance of discipline and perseverance, and she channeled her mother's wisdom. Slowly regaining her composure, Lana squared her shoulders and steeled her resolve.

"Let's try again," Eva prompted, offering Lana a warm smile. "Remember what I taught you."

With renewed determination, Lana nodded, her fists balled tightly. She closed her eyes, recalling the steps and techniques Eva had demonstrated earlier. As she inhaled deeply, she pictured herself executing flawless punches and kicks, evading danger with grace and precision. Focusing on Eva's supportive presence, she opened her eyes and prepared to face another round of training.
