Chapter 2 - The Punishment.
When I opened my eyes I found myself in a dark room with my Mistress. I was in a standing position with my arms secured at the wrists behind me, my legs were held wide apart by shackles with a spreader bar between them. I was also secured to something attached above me by a thick heavy chain. I suppose Mistress did not want me to break loose and go on another violent rampage so she had me secured so as not to cause any more damage. It was then that I found out the mistakes that I had made the night before in the fight pit.
Removing my gown was the first offense. The sands of the pit are considered sacred and total nudity is forbidden. The champ's shorts had a Velcro like closure that he would have opened to take me had I assumed the correct position of supplication before him. I should have faced away from him, hiked up my gown and assumed a position on my hands and knees so that he could have entered me from behind like a dog enters his bitch was the way Mistress explained it. Too bad no one explained this to me BEFORE I went to the arena. Somehow I could not fathom how nudity was forbidden in the pit but full on sexual debauchery was ok.
Making eye contact with the champ was another violation. A submissive or slave must never make eye contact with a superior and I did that on many occasions while I was committing my many sins. Another sin was taking him in my mouth and swallowing his seed. The champ's people believe that every sperm is sacred and must be deposited in the proper place where an egg can be fertilized. Cumming in the mouth or ass is forbidden, though it is not forbidden to use those orifices for ones pleasure. Cumming there is a major offense to their deities. Perhaps their gods thought that it was only right not to waste sperm since their species can only ejaculate once every 48 to 72 hours. I heard that it takes that long for their reproductive organs to recharge and replenish the semen sack.
There were many other offenses that I had committed but these were the big ones. Also hitting the champ was the largest of my offenses since a slave is forbidden to ever raise a hand to a free person and I raised my hands on several occasions along with my feet. On a positive note, I did manage to dislodge a couple of the champ's ribs from his sternum, and gave him a slight concussion. Mistress became highly upset with me when she caught me smiling as she listed the champ's injuries. Sadly she also included in her injury report that he was receiving the best of care and would be cleared to fight again in a day or so. As for my cuts and bruises, those would have to heal on their own since Mistress refused to have my minor injuries healed. She was such a miser.
Mistress realized that her First Girl failed to inform me of my duties and warn me about what not to do caused part of the problem. Still, she said that I should have known better than to strike a client and that for this offense I could be sentenced to death. If I lived or died was up to her since I was her property. Had I killed the champ the death sentence would have been automatic. Mistress was still debating my fate as she still had several calls to return concerning my actions. She decided to leave me bound and hanging from a chain until she could figure out what to do with me.
One thing in my favor was that she paid a high price to buy me at the auction and she was a penny-pinching miser so I had a feeling that she would not terminate my life until she was paid back for her investment in me. Before she left me in the dark to reflect on my future she informed me that even if she did not end my life there would have to be a public punishment that I would have to endure before I would be allowed to return to her. After she left and I had time to ponder her words and my offenses I concluded that the First Girl should be standing beside me and endure whatever was planned for me since she failed to prepare me properly for my assignment.
The room I was in was totally dark but I could tell by the echo of the footsteps of my Mistress that the room was large. I could also tell that we were no longer on the space station and had to be on a planet somewhere. The room went from warm to slightly chilly and I suspected that this was from the sun setting. There were no cracks in the walls or anything that could allow me to see sunlight so this was my only indication of the passing of time. Sometime during the night I had fallen asleep in a bound standing position. I was not sure if I went to sleep on my own or if Mistress used her control device for my collar to put me out. When I awoke I found that the chains and shackles were gone but I was still immobilized.
There was a slight buzzing sound in the room that was not there before and I assumed that it was some sort of electronic restraining field that held me in place. My arms were stretched over my head by what seemed like invisible hands, and my legs were spread apart so that my body formed a perfect "X." After I took stock of my new situation I heard a series of soft clicks around the perimeter of the room, and as I looked around I could see many small green LEDs. Some were high by what would be the ceiling; some were at mid level while others were near floor level. I assumed that these were cameras and whatever was about to happen next was being recorded or televised live.
I heard the voice of my Mistress coming over a speaker over head with a warning, "Do not resist, do not attempt to fight back... if you do I will terminate your life in a second. Nod your head to show me that you understand."
I was quick to nod my head in an emphasized manner so that Mistress could see. The last thing I wanted was for her to push that kill switch on the remote control to my collar. The kill switch set off a small explosive charge that was just enough to decapitate a slave girl. Once I nodded my head and submitted to my Mistress her next words were, "Let the punishment begin!"
I knew I was not in the room alone. I could hear footsteps and breathing even though the other being was trying to be quiet. Sensei often blindfolded us for combat drills and we had to use our other senses to hear and feel where our opponents were. The other entity in the room with me might have thought that he was being sneaky but I knew exactly where he was and that he was much bigger than me given the sounds of his footsteps on the hard surface of the floor.
The footsteps grew closer until I felt what appeared to be fingers running up my bare back. The feeling of being touched told me that I was naked and vulnerable. Two large rough hands reaching around my sides to fondle my breasts followed the touching of my back. The rough hands moved down my bare tummy to come to rest between my legs where my mound and lady bits were fondled roughly. I could not see anything but it felt as if the palms of the hands touching me were covered with some sort of reptilian skin while the arms brushing my sides were covered with scales.
Al sorts of pictures were running through my mind of who or what could be fondling me and none of those pictures were pretty. My first instinct was to react in a violent manner but being held in some sort of suspension field and the warning from my Mistress told me that any thing I did would be futile and possibly fatal. I did my best to convince myself to be calm and accept my punishment bravely. The thing that worried me was that Mistress said that this was, "her punishment" and to me that indicated that someone else's punishment was to follow.
The fondling and the fingering felt good, and the fingers that entered me were long and fat giving me some pleasure. It would have been more pleasurable had this been happening under better circumstances. Eventually the fondling and fingering came to an end a few seconds before my back felt the first sting of the lash. As the first strike hit my back the lights in the chamber came on. There were several spotlights all pointed at me. I assumed that there were some behind me as well but those that I could see were pointed at me and as the darkness changed to light I was blinded by the sudden change.
There was no sense trying to focus my vision since the lights were aimed directly at me and were bright enough to obscure my vision. As the second swat of the lash caressed my back with its sting I closed my eyes and concentrated on blocking out the pain as my Shinobi Masters taught me. At first it was easy to endure the pain but as the swats continued each swat was harder than the first. The flogger that was being used on me hurt like hell but was not being used in a manner to damage my skin. I suppose the best way to say this was that it was not being used in a way to tear my flesh open like I had seen on the old pirate movies on TV.
I promised myself that no matter what I would not cry out and do my best not to show any expression of pain. I never expected my assailant to move around to the side and start flogging my breasts. A few swats with the flogger came close to my face so I tilted my head back to let my chest absorb the lashes. The leather was slapping my skin at regular intervals and it was easy for me to time when the next strike would come. I would internally steel myself and clench my teeth behind closed lips a split second before the lash would strike. A deep reptilian voice with a noticeable reptilian hiss encouraged me to scream and knowing that he, she, or it wanted me to scream strengthened my resolve to endure this without rewarding my tormentor. There was always the possibility that my scream would bring an end to the flogging, but there was also the alternate possibility that the intensity of the lashing would increase as the creature doing the lashing enjoyed my screams.
Having no luck with my back and chest, my abuser moved lower and began flailing away at my ass. When I did not scream he moved around to the font and as the first strike whipped across my mound and caught my lips I almost broke down and gave him what he wanted. I caught myself just before I let out a scream and as I fought against my instinct to scream I kept reminding myself that the only way to win in this situation was not to give him what he wanted. I knew that it would mean more pain for me but if I was going to survive this mentally I had win this one battle even if I was on my way to losing the war.
