It took me a while to post because I was a little discouraged to write... Well, actually, I was discouraged to do anything xP This is a shorter chapter, but it's just not to leave the story without any updates
Manta's memory fragments...
Faust released me from those leather straps and flipped me onto my stomach, lifted my hips, placing me on my knees over the table, grabbed my buttocks with both hands and brought his face closer, pressing the tip of my tail between his lips. I felt a slight shiver and cringed a little, trying to look back, curious about what he was doing.
"What does 'just work' mean?", I asked him. Of course I still didn't comprehend the concept of work… I didn't understand the purpose of all that, much less did I know that there was a reason for those experiments, which I would only discover later. I was just a kid and I thought Faust treated me badly because he was mean, it irritated me and made me sad. It was very confusing to me that the experiment that day was being a good thing, not a painful one.
"It means someone is giving me something I want in exchange for experimenting on you," Faust replied.
He pulled my buttocks apart to observe my still virgin anus, gently running the tip of his forefinger over the wrinkled skin. He lowered my gown and picked me up, led me to the counter, where the vaseline bottle and the sample jar were, and sat me on top of it. I was intrigued by what he said… So Faust didn't really do those things because he hated me, but there was someone giving him something to do them? What did he get in exchange? Was it food…? And who was telling him to do that, another human just like Faust? I really wanted to understand why someone would put me through this kind of thing… A person who hated me a lot, maybe?
Faust put his hand under my chin to lift my face, forcing me to look at him. "Now I'm going to give you the opportunity to accept or refuse something…" He said looking straight into my eyes "… I want to have sex with you… That means I'm going to put something of my body inside you and you'll feel great pleasure. Do you agree?"
I stared into those intense blue eyes, blinking in a confused way, and frowned. "What will be inside of me? And… How are you gonna put something inside me?" I tilted my face to the side and blinked once more, but suddenly made a terrified expression, widening my eyes and getting my face covered in sweat, my ears flipped back completely "… Y-You're not gonna open me up again, are you?"
"Not this time…" To illustrate what he was saying, he undid his belt and loosened his pants, pulling his own member out, letting me see how hard he was. A strong aroma invaded my nostrils, I didn't know it yet, but that was the smell of human libido "… It's similar to yours, only bigger…"
Faust started masturbating in front of me, which left the aroma more intense for my heightened sense of smell, and his penis got even bigger. I sniffed the air, feeling something very strange inside me… A warmth filling my chest. I didn't know what that feeling was, I felt a little scared and shrugged my shoulders.
"Y-You smell different… But this smell makes me want something…" I was dying of sexual arousal, and my instincts called for sex. I figured that what Faust was proposing had to do with it… It was kind of obvious, I only started to feel that way after that weird "experiment". And Faust himself had said that I would "feel great pleasure". "If I let you put your pipi inside me… Will this urge go away?"
Faust stopped masturbating, gained a surprised expression, and again did what he rarely did: laugh. When he laughed, he had a rather manic laugh. It was a little scary… But I was used to it. "HAHAHAHAHAH! "Pipi"?! But what…? HAHAHAH!"
I blinked several times in a confused way, then lowered my ears. "… What's funny?" I didn't really understand what was so funny about it, but I felt offended that he was laughing, narrowing my eyes with a slightly annoyed face "I've called this part of my body that way since I was younger, because before I just used it to pee… What do you call it?" I pouted a little.
"Forget about it…" Faust tucked his member into his pants again, I think he didn't even have the mood for that anymore, laughing like that. He went back to holding my ears to caress them, turning them forward "I think I need to give you a decent name instead…"
He was smiling at me, and I was just staring at him. I could feel that there was something different about him that day… As if he was seeing me a little differently, with a little more respect. I noticed that his smell was returning to normal, and that even made me relieved… Because that "new smell" of the scientist made me feel very strange. He took a minute to think, until he finally said: "… Man… Ta… Manta! This will be your name."
"But you always called me 'Number 05'…" I blinked my eyes with a slightly furrowed brow, staring at him curiously as he fiddled with my ears "isn't that what my name is?"
"This is just a number we give to our objects of study, a name is something unique". Faust took me in his arms and led me back down that corridor, back to my cell and opening the door, not forgetting to close it again after entering. He put me down and went to get my litter box to change it.
"Unfortunately I won't be able to get you out of this cell, because work is work… However, you won't be just a thing."
