Delta Sion

Every week at the secret organization of Delta Sion, there are new people who are chosen to join. There are only three levels of members-the council, the kranen, and the domestics. The council is the highest position you can get, and isn't often open for new positions. The people of the council serve under the savior, Jae Hwa and help her make new decisions. The next highest rank, kranen, are for people who are still important to Delta Sion, but not important enough to aid in important decisions. Lastly, the domestics are people who have no worth to Delta Sion except to entertain the kranen, the council, as well as perform small tasks. The domestics are mainly made of girls, but there are a few exceptions of men in the domestics for the female council members and kranen.

Today, I was invited to join Delta Sion. I had heard about it before. It was a place where you could find a new beginning, and after multiple breakups, a broken family, and a failed career, that's exactly what I was looking for. Upon arriving at the grounds, I was amazed at how prestigious every building looked. Apart from vast gardens and a fresh atmosphere, all of the architecture of the buildings were immaculate. I felt like I was about to join a kingdom. Most of the buildings looked to be made of a smooth marble. I felt nervous as I made my way to the admissions building and stepped inside, walking up to the desk.

"Hi, how can I help you?" the secretary asked.

"My name is Aecha. I got this invitation last week," I stated, giving her the letter I had received. She took it and looked it over before handing it back.

"Right," she confirmed, "Come follow me Aecha." She got up and I followed after her after we went down a few wide and dimly lit hallways. I looked around at all of the subtle, yet elegant decorations as we walked. "Are you nervous?" I suddenly snapped out of my trance from looking at every beautiful thing surrounding me. I had never been in such a high-class building that I was starting to think this invitation may have been a mistake.

"A little bit," I admitted. I heard the woman let out a light giggle.

"I think most people are when they come here. Our organization is so unknown to most people, that people can't help but feel a little lost, nervous, or even sometimes scared. But don't worry, after the first few weeks, everything is perfect! Oh, here we are!" She stopped in front of a set of wooden double doors. "A council member will be in there to review you and decide your place in our organization."

"Thank you," I thanked her as she turned and walked off. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in," a voice from inside of the room called out. I slowly opened the door and stepped into the dimly lit office. There, sitting at a desk was a man with black hair and minty green eyes. I sat down at the chair across from his desk. "Name," he demanded.

"Aecha," I responded.

"Do you have any close friends or family?" He asked, almost interrogating me. I started to feel a little nervous.

"No."

"Good. Any romantic partners?"

"No."

"If you dropped off the map, do you believe anyone would come looking for you?"

"I highly doubt it."

"Okay. What are you looking to achieve here?"

"Just a place to... belong, I guess."

"I see. You do realize that once you join this organization, there is no getting out, right?"

"Yes..."

"Good. Our organization doesn't deal nicely with people who try to escape."

"Why would people try to escape?"

"That's nothing to concern yourself with. What's important is that you know there are very deadly consequences for going against this organization."

"Deadly?"

"Yes. I will now explain everything to you in detail. Here at Delta Sion, we believe that we can be a paradise for people who feel like they have lost all hope in their lives. You must obey all of those who are above you in class. The highest is our savior, Jae Hwa. Next are the council members. I am one of them. After that, the kranen. Lastly, the domestics. No matter who you are, you must obey everything the savior says, if she demands something of you. If she walks past you, you must bow to her. Do not make eye contact with her. Do not speak to her unless she asks you to. The main rules of this organization are simple-don't go against those above you, don't try to escape, don't attempt to harm anyone above you, and do not try to conspire against the organization. We have more eyes and ears than you think. Other than that, you must serve your purpose or else you will be met with deadly consequences. Do you understand?"

"Are you saying if I stop being valuable, I'll be killed."

"Precisely." I felt my heart start to hammer as I started to feel afraid.

"I'm not sure if I'm ready for this..." I admitted.

"You won't join?"

"Maybe not..."

"Well, that's unfortunate. You know about our organization and where we're located, so we can't afford to just let you leave. If you don't want to join, you'll also unfortunately have to meet a deadly consequence."

"What!"

"If you try to leave, you will be killed. So, do you want to join or would you rather die?" I felt my body start to perspire as I began to feel even more terrified.

"I... I... I guess I'll join, since death is the only other option..."

"Wonderful. I have already reviewed your file. You will be a domestic. Your purpose here is to become a pet to a kranen or a council member. The savior will decide who will be your first owner. If they don't like you, you may get passed on to a different owner until someone wants to keep you, or you may meet a deadly consequence, depending on the reason that your owner doesn't like you."

"A pet? You mean, I'll have to serve someone here?" I was getting more confused by the minute.

"Yes, in a way. You will do whatever they say and entertain them as they see fit. Now..." The man got out a piece of paper and slid it over to me with a pen. "Read over this if you want. Sign and date it. It's a pledge to obey the orders of Delta Sion and do your best to serve your purpose." I only scanned over it before signing and dating. Even if I didn't want to agree, it wouldn't matter because I would be killed. I slid the paper and pen back over. "Excellent. I'll file this later. For now, I'll take you to your training quarters."

"Training quarters?"

"Of course. You can't just start right away. You need to be properly trained, just like a real pet." I reluctantly got up and followed the man out of the room. We descended what seemed to be like a hundred different staircases. The basement of the admissions building was ice cold and everything looked much more creepy and dingy than the upper-level. It didn't even look like I was in the same building anymore. At the end of a long corridor, the man finally stopped at a wooden door, opening it. "This will be your training room. You will be trained here until the savior sees you fit to start your new life here."

I walked in and instantly felt like I would have a heart attack. It had the appearance of a dungeon, being that it was cold, dark, only lit by candle light, and many tortuous devices hung around on the walls. My eyes widened in shock at every foreign object I rested my eyes upon. What kind of training was this? I had no idea that this organization was so dark. Were they going to torture me until they could shape and mold my mind however they wanted? I started to fear for my life and felt my body launch into a fight or flight response as the man stepped in, his footsteps echoing off the wall. I felt him grab my arm and the next second, I felt a needle puncture me.

I screamed out as an intense pain coursed through me, starting from the point of entrance of the needle until it reached every part of my being. I felt my body start to convulse from the shock of the pain and I couldn't breathe. I almost fell down, but the man held me steady as he injected the rest of the liquid into me before taking it out. I continued to scream as the pain started to ignite a fire-like pain. I felt like I was burning alive and I had no control of my muscles. As soon as the man let go of me, I fell to the floor.

"This is an elixir. It will help with your training immensely. Someone will give you a shot of it everyday until you are ready. Today, you can rest since your body isn't used to the elixir yet. Starting tomorrow, someone will train you. I hope that this place can be a new home for you soon." With that, the man turned and left, closing the door behind him and locking it. Just like that, on the ice cold ground, I finally lost consciousness, going into shock.

Over the next few weeks, with my "training" and elixir, I could feel my brain mold into something new, but I couldn't stop it. When I resisted, I only got hurt more. I realized that it was better to listen to my trainer than to disobey them. There were many times when I felt like I was on the verge of death, but in the end it would be worth it, because I was in paradise now. Today is the day I am formally meeting with the savior to discuss my next step and to see if I'm ready to start living in my new paradise. All I wanted to do now was make my master happy. I would do anything he said, even if it hurt me. I would maybe even let him kill me if it entertained him. What was the point in my existence if I couldn't make my master happy?

I felt warm air as I was escorted upstairs for the first time in weeks. I had almost forgotten how comforting heat can be, so I relished in it as I was led inside of a room. I was blindfolded, so I had no idea where I was going or how the savior looked as I was pushed down to kneel. I bowed completely, almost touching the floor with my nose. Even though this floor was cold, it was nothing compared to the ground of my training room. The air even seemed more clear. I hoped that I could prove worthy to her so that I wouldn't have to go back and be trained more.

"What is your name?" I heard her clear voice ring out.

"My savior, my name is Aecha. It's an honor to finally be in your presence," I answered. I heard her giggle a little.

"You did well with this one," she complimented my trainer. "What do you want with your new life here?"

"I want to please whomever my master may be, no matter what!"

"I see. Remove her blindfold," she ordered my trainer. My trainer bent down and removed my blindfold. However, I kept my eyes on the floor, knowing that I shouldn't make eye contact with her. "Look at me." I did as she said, finally lifting my eyes. She was a very beautiful woman. She looked very young, maybe even around my age. Her hair was curly and black and her eyes were a magenta color. She gave me a kind smile. "You're a very beautiful woman. I can't just give you to any old kranen, can I? Hmmm..." she averted her eyes, seeming to be thinking of who I should be assigned to. "I know! Let's start you with Junsu."

"Junsu!" my trainer called out, shocked, "But he's so picky! He'll tear her to shreds."

"Quiet!" the savior yelled at my trainer, "You aren't in a high enough position to argue with me. I am aware that Junsu is very picky, but he's never had a pet as beautiful as her. Plus she already seems obedient. I don't think she's dumb enough to fake it. Junsu will definitely tell me if she's disobedient. Take her to him."

"Yes savior," my trainer said, tying the blindfold back onto me. As soon as I heard the door close, I could hear my trainer's voice in my ear, "You better be on your best behavior. This man is cruel towards all new pets he gets. He's had so many that didn't meet his standards that he's always mean to his new ones."

"I will do whatever it takes to please him," I pledged. We walked up a few sets of stairs and turned a few times before he stopped. I heard him knock on a door.

"Who is it?" I heard a voice call out. His voice seemed a little deep, yet clear and dignified.

"I have a pet for you," my trainer replied. I heard a laugh come from the other side.

"Oh do you? Okay, I'm in a good mood, send her in." I heard the door open and following that, I was shoved into the room. I instantly fell to the ground to bow. After the door closed once more, I heard my new master let out a chuckle. "So you're my new pet, huh?"

"I'll do whatever you wish. It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Shut up. Stand up and let me look at you." I did as he said, getting to my feet and standing up straight. "Hmmm. Long brown hair... pale complexion... Decent sized tits." I felt him suddenly and roughly grab my breasts and rub them together a little, trying to get a feel for them. He chuckled. "Yes, they fit nicely... Oh, you have a very nice ass." I then felt him slap my ass hard, making a loud smacking sound. I gasped a little as he then harshly grabbed it. "Not bad so far, but I'll have to test your loyalty a little."

"Yes master," I agreed. He pulled on my arms, pulling me forward before turning me around and shoving me down, bending me over the bed. I heard it squeak in response to some of my weight hitting it. He slapped my ass again, even harder than the first time. I let out a small moan and jumped a little. I heard him lightly laugh in response.

"That's a nice reaction. But that's nothing." I heard him open a closet in the room. I then felt a harsh, burning sting on my ass as a cracking sound echoed off the walls. I knew he had a whip. It was something that my trainer usually did to me when I would disobey, but usually just on my back. It hurt really bad and I cried out.

"Am I displeasing you?" I asked, staying still.

"I don't know yet. You will be if you speak anymore."

"I'm sorry master." I felt another sting on my other asscheek after I apologized. I cried out again, feeling both pain and pleasure as I felt tears water my eyes.

"Beg me for more."

"More master," I begged. I felt another hit on my ass, making me jump and cry again.

"Why are you crying if you want it so much?"

"I want whatever will please you. If hurting me pleases you, then you can do it all you want." I heard him laugh out as he opened back up the closet, putting away the whip. I then heard a scraping sound as if he were using a lighter. Soon after, I could smell the distinct smell of smoke fill the air as he smoked a cigarette. "Do you smoke?" I asked quietly.

"Got a problem with it sweetheart?" he asked in a tone of malice.

"U-uh... no, it's not that... I just care about your health is all. But if you really enjoy it, I have no right to say what you can and cannot do." I heard an almost soundless chuckle as his footsteps echoed off of the wooden floors as he neared me.

"You're clever, I'll give you that," he said, "But... don't you think this is unfair? You get invited here for a 'better life' or a 'life in paradise,' but you just end up becoming a slave to someone else."

"I know my place here, and now there is no better paradise than doing whatever you want."

"Oh-ho?" he breathed, the sound of his voice close to my ear, "Is that so? Can you really handle me? I haven't kept a pet past one night since I've been here, and I've been here for over five years. I'm not so easily impressed, you know. I don't want any regular whore to be my pet. But, you seem gentler than the rest. The rest were so desperate for sex I couldn't stand it. You don't beg me for it unless I tell you. Since you care about my health so much, I'll try to smoke less. Are you relieved?"

"Yes," I answered. I then jolted a little and gasped as I felt a burning sensation on my lower back, close to my ass as something digged into my skin. I heard a cruel laugh escape his lips.

"Good. I'll be using you as my ashtray until I can quit then."

"Whatever you need to do..."

"You're something else. Some pets I've had before would be irate by now. Don't you feel like you want to hurt me too?"

"No."

"Why not?" he laughed, as if my answer was funny.

"It's not right. This relationship isn't supposed to be equal. I have no say in what I do with you unless you tell me to."

"Would you hurt me if I told you to?"

"If you demanded it, I suppose I would, but I wouldn't want to."

"Why not? Wouldn't that make you feel better?"

"No. In my opinion, two wrongs don't make a right. Even if I felt it was wrong for you to harm me, I wouldn't wish to hurt you in return. That doesn't solve the original problem, and at most it would only give me a brief feeling of satisfaction." He fell silent. I spoke up when I still didn't hear anything after what seemed like a full minute. "Did I upset you?"

"No..." he answered, "I just realized they finally sent me a completely insane woman."

"I... I'm sorry?" I heard him laugh at my apology. Despite his mostly cruel actions so far, I really enjoyed the clear and almost melodic tone of his regular laughter. It made me feel a little happy when I heard it.

"I'm not angry. I like insanity. You're completely insane with wanting to serve me. So be it." He grabbed my arms and pulled me back up into a standing position. "Aren't you cold, only being dressed in this lacey lingerie?"

"Not nearly as cold as my training room used to be."

"Hmm," he murmured, "What's your name?"

"Aecha."

"Age?"

"Twenty four."

"What's someone so young doing here...? Most pets are touching their thirties or in them... Okay, Aecha, you've peaked my curiosity. I'm going to undress you and I want you to tell me why you decided to join Delta Sion... or at least, why you came here." I felt his hand start to fumble with my bra clasp and took a deep breath, revisiting the painful memories,

"I felt abandoned by life itself," I answered, "My family disowned me because I didn't choose the career path they wanted. They told me not to bother coming to see them anymore and not to show up to family events. I doubt they even know where I've gone. I haven't talked to them since I was twenty. The career I tried to find success in itself crumbled around me because of a scandal involving my boss. He tried to sleep with me to promote me more, but I refused. He lied and said that I hit on him... And then... at that time, I was in a serious relationship. I was engaged. I was about to get married, but he broke it off because he believed the rumors of the scandal over me. I felt like a failure, even though I'm still young. I felt hopeless. I couldn't see any way to recover from this. I just wanted to have a sense of belonging somewhere." I felt my master finally unclasp my bra and take it off of me. "For most of my life, I was with my family... after that, it was my career... and then... my ex fiance. I loved him with all of my heart at that time, but everything crumbled around me at once and I lost my sense of belonging. That's why I came here. It promised the one thing I craved." I could then feel him sliding my panties down. I stepped out of them as they reached the floor. "That's the basis of my story, master. I just wanted to belong somewhere, no matter the cost."

"Tragic. No family. A failed career and a broken heart. I guess that'll do it. I would initially think you aren't really a strong woman to give up so easily, but I guess anyone under extreme mental stress would happily come here. I have to wonder how far you would have gone if you had been strong longer."

"What...? I don't wish to leave. I want to stay here and do as you say." I heard a small chuckle escape his lips again.

"Oh Aecha... I feel for you. Your mind has been molded so that you feel that way. Maybe you'll never be yourself again, but I can tell you must have had a fire in your heart at some point. However, that's not important anymore."

"Is it okay for me to ask to know more about my master?" I quietly asked.

"I would usually say no, but I'll let you in a small bit. My name is Junsu. I've been here since I was twenty. I handle the hacking and security. I came here hoping to escape my abusive family. I never did anything right for them. I was told I was unwanted. My father paid off my mom to keep me a secret and went on to be a famous model. My mother became a raging alcoholic and used me to get money from my father throughout the years to fund her alcoholism. She never cared about me. I was just a bargaining chip. Who knows how lost she feels without me, but I was able to come here and disappear off the face of the planet since my hacking skills were so superb. No matter how hard she searches for me, she won't find me. I would never go back. That's my bit. Now, let's stop being sentimental." He turned me around. "What color are your eyes? I bet they're just a plain mud brown, aren't they?" He ripped my blindfold off suddenly. I squinted my eyes at first, trying to adjust to the moonlight that dimly lit the room.
