A/N: This chapter was suggested by Sandshrew master 317. I'm sorry that I have kept this on the back burner for a while. This isn't the only one that are in the waiting, but that's what happens when you decide to go in alphabetical order. Still I'd like to thank Sandshrew master 317 for their continuous support of my story.
Also happy belated Independence Day to my American readers. I know I should've written this a lot sooner, but I've been bad with updating my story as of late.
Chapter 74
I'm Robert Naughton, I live in a small town. It's nice and quiet, at least it was about five months ago when a man named Craxton and his gang rolled into town. They weren't armed, but what they did have to act as their weapon was a Golem.
Craxton explained to us that if we didn't pay for protection he'd sic his Golem. So most of us complied. What could we do? We didn't have weapons, we had no police force or sheriff's department to fight them.
There wasn't much we could do, and we had no way of deactivating the Golem. The runes that were engraved into her was only know by some scholar, but after he finished making the Golem for Craxton, Craxton ordered her to kill him.
So now we live in constant free that the Golem will rip us from our homes. I however will not and shall not be intimidated by such a monster. I was outside my home sweeping off my porch when the Golem arrived. Amethyst I think her name was. She had tan skin, long dark brown hair and the stone on her body was an equal color to her hair, and she had purple eyes which is probably where her name came from.
"Resident Robert, do you have payment for Master Craxton?" she asked dryly.
"No, I do not." I said.
"This is most unorthodox, you've consistent refusal to pay will cause trouble for you." she said.
"I don't care. Craxton is a bully; he uses fear, intimidation, and you as his weapons. But I will not and shall not be intimidated by him. And if he doesn't like it, then he can come down himself if he's so upset." I said.
"But why defy him? Why not just simply pay him?" she asked.
"Amethyst is it?" I asked and nods her head. "You wouldn't understand why I defy Craxton. But just because he can say and do whatever he wants doesn't mean people should put up with him."
"But why not fight back if people are unhappy with him?" she asked.
"Well..." I said motioning to her.
"I don't follow." she said.
"It's you! You're the only thing standing between our freedom and our complacency." I said.
"I shall report this to Master Craxton. Good day Resident Robert." she said and left.
I went back to sweeping my porch. I don't know if I made the right choice or not. But I don't think Craxton will take kindly to my insubordination.
Later that night, I was sound asleep in bed when I was awoken by a creaking noise. I opened my eyes and found two figures standing over me. One of them placed a cloth over my mouth and I could smell a thick smelling liquid on the cloth. My vision became blurry and I passed out after that.
I woke up, not sure for how long I was out for, but I was awoken by someone tossing a bucket of water over me.
"Good, you're finally awake. I hear you're the little the shit refusing to pay." a man said.
I looked up and saw a man sitting in a chair across from me. It was Craxton. He was sitting in a chair puffing away on a cigar. I was unable to move since I was tied to a chair.
"Here's the deal. You've been causing quiet the ruckus and because of your continuous refusal to pay me my fucking money, I have no choice but to take your payment out of the rest of the town by charging three times the amount of money." he said.
"You...you can't do that! Nobody has that kind of money! I won't let you get away with this!" I shouted.
One of Craxton's goons struck me across the face.
"I have to show you what happens when you fuck with me. Unless..." he began.
"Unless what?" I asked.
"I think, I have a much better idea to punish you. Get the walking brick wall." he ordered.
One of his goons left the room and a few minutes later came back with Amethyst. She looked at me and made no reaction to me being there.
"You wish to see me master?" she asked.
"Amethyst, I want you to take this piece of shit here back to your room," Craxton ordered, then turned to me. "Since you don't want the poor people to suffer, how about I make you suffer?"
"Suffer how?" I asked.
"Amethyst here is going to rape the shit out of you for the next few weeks. After she's broken you, I'm going to drag you out into the middle of town and show everyone what happens when you fuck with me." he answered.
I looked over at Amethyst, she seemed indifferent to the situation. She walked over and untied me, then directed me to her room.
Craxton and his men to up occupancy in the old warehouse on the edge of town. I looking for a way out, but I wasn't sure where'd I go after I escaped. The nearest town was miles away and would a hours to get to on foot. I also wasn't sure how I could get away from Amethyst.
Amethyst lead me into her room, which was a small storage room with a single bed. The bed frame was rusty and the mattress looked worn-out.
"Do you sleep on that?" I asked pointing to the bed.
"I don't sleep, I have no need for it. One of Master Craxton's associates brought it in. I think they were under the impression that I slept." she said.
"What do you listen to Craxton, he's such an asshole." I said.
"I will admit, for being my first master he has done things I do not care for. But, he made a grave error in my construction." she said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"The runes that my creator put on me are not permanent. They have to be renewed or they become ineffective." she said.
"How do you know this? And how long would it take to break from his control?" I asked.
"Lately I've been feeling less and less compelled to do his bidding, yet I still can't break his control over me. As for how long, a year or two. Unless Master Craxton knows the ancient alphabet that keeps me under his control I doubt he'll be able to keep control over me. But, I also don't think you have that kind of time." she said.
"Are you still going to rape me?" I asked.
"I'm...unsure. I feel like I should, not because I was told to, but for your safety." she said.
"What do you mean my safety?" I asked.
"Master Craxton might kill you if he finds out you've been un-raped." she said.
"So you want to rape me, to save me?" I questioned.
"It doesn't have to be rape, for all Master Craxton knows I'm doing what I'm told. But if you prefer, I could just have sex with you?" she suggested.
"Honestly I don't think that would be necessary. I'm happy to not get raped." I said.
"But if Master Craxton finds out that you haven't been raped he'll kill you." she said.
"I'd much rather die than give him the satisfaction of him humiliating me, besides he'll probably kill me anyway. Better to keep my dignity and let him kill me." I said sitting down on the bed.
"I...maybe I can help you." she said.
"How?" I asked.
"I can help you escape. I could make up some story of you slipping off and escaping." she said.
"That's all well and good, but what happens after I escape? They'll be looking for me, and I don't have a way out of town." I said.
"There's a supply truck that comes into town once a week. It will arrive in a few days and you could try and convince them to smuggle you out of town." she said.
"What if they don't?" I asked.
"The next best option is to hide out with someone you trust and staying with them until I am free from my bounds." she said.
"I don't know Amethyst. But I don't have a lot of options with me." I said.
"Until the truck gets here you'll have to play along. Which means..." she said moving closer to me.
"I get it, but are you sure you want to do this?" I asked.
"I know that I'm probably not the most ideal mate, but I want to do what I can to save you." she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"I...I don't know, I've never felt like this before." she said sitting down next to me.
"Maybe because you know what Craxton is doing is wrong." I said.
"Maybe..." she said.
I placed my hand on top of her larger stone hand. We got closer and closer to each other.
Suddenly the door opened and Amethyst quickly pinned me to the bed.
"Am I interrupting?" a man asked.
"No, what do you want?" Amethyst asked letting me go and walking over to the guy.
"Craxton wants him to eat, says he needs his strength if you're taking him to pound town." he said giving her a bowl.
"Thank you, now if you don't mind I'd like you to leave. It's hard enough to have sex with him without causing injuries." she said taking the bowl.
"Boss doesn't care if he has a few broken bones. Says it makes his message that much more clear." he said.
"I'll keep that in mind." she said.
He left us and Amethyst returned to me giving me a steaming bowl of...something. I dug through the mushy gray contents of the bowl.
"You have any idea what this is?" I asked.
"Not sure, but if you are going to be here you should eat it. After all, you'll whatever strength you can get if you're going to escape." she said.
I quietly ate the bowl of whatever slop they gave me. I wasn't sure if it was mashed potatoes or oatmeal, but whatever it was it didn't taste like either. It didn't taste bad, didn't taste good either. In fact it didn't really taste like anything. It was really bland, but Amethyst is right. If I want to escape from here I have to keep up my strength.
Another one of Craxton's goons came in and took my empty bowl. It was evening and I tried to sleep, but it was hard given my current situation. Plus it didn't help that Amethyst was on the other side of the room watching me.
"Amethyst, I know you don't sleep or whatever, but could you not watch me sleep? It's hard enough to sleep as is." I said.
"Sorry, but I don't have anything else to do." she said.
"Well, you did say that you have to 'rape' me right?" I asked.
She nodded her head.
"Well you and could, you know." I said suggestively.
Amethyst remained silent, but slowly walked over and climbed on top of me.
"Are you okay with this?" she asked.
"It's not like I have much of a choice, plus, it's better than you standing on the other side of the room watching me sleep." I said.
"Does it bother you that I'm not human?" she asked.
"No, not really. In fact it makes me sad for you." I answered.
"How so?" she asked.
"You spent your whole life being a tool for someone else. I wish there was a to free you." I said caressing her cheek.
"There's not much you can do, but I enjoy the time we been spending together." she said placing her hand on top of mine.
"I don't think you're too bad, I hope that you can have freedom soon." I said.
"As do I." she said.
I kissed her, despite the hard, rough texture of her stoney parts her skin was soft. I deepen the kiss letting my tongue to explore her mouth. Amethyst moaned into mouth, it's funny how for someone that doesn't sleep she sure does feel pleasure.
I moved my other hand to the small of her back and ran my fingers within the grove of her back. She removed her hand from mine and she moved it underneath my shirt. She began rubbing my chest and she had such a gentle touch.
My penis was trying to break out of my pants. Amethyst moved her other hand over the bulge and began rubbing it. I released my mouth from her's and moaned.
"Does it feel good?" she asked.
"Yeah." I answered.
"Would like me to stimulate you further?" she asked.
"Hell yeah." I answered.
She slipping her hand underneath my pants and began jerking me off. I moaned more, I got this feeling that I wanted to be inside of her. I slipped off my pants allowing my member more freedom as Amethyst continued jerking me off.
I shuttered as her hand continued up and down my shaft. Amethyst released her grip on me and climbed on top of me. Her bottoms morphed into her skin almost like it was absorbed into her. She began inserting my manhood inside her. She began to slowly grind her hips.
Slowly, but soon she began to move faster and faster. I could feel myself reaching my climax. Amethyst bent down and kissed causing me to cum deep inside of her.
"Was that good?" she asked softly.
"Yeah." I answered.
"Very good. Now get some rest, the next few days are not going to be easy." she said.
I nodded and went to sleep. The days felt like weeks. I ate what slop they gave me and I slept on Amethyst's lumpy mattress. The only thing that made my time here more bearable was Amethyst. She was probably the only thing that was keeping me alive at this point. Yet, I also wondered what would happen to her if I escaped? Would she be alright? Will the town be alright? I just pray that whatever help we sent for arrives soon.
The deadline for my escape was approaching. Amethyst woke me up earlier that morning.
"Come on, the truck will be here soon. We have to go before someone gets here." she said.
I followed Amethyst out of her room. We went a long way around the building, stopping occasionally at any corner we came too just in case there were any of Craxton's goons.
"Is door unlocked?" I asked as we made our way through the building.
"Yes, I made sure it was before I woke you up." she said.
"Are you sure this will work?" I asked.
"What options do you have? We're almost there, no time to second guess ourselves." she said.
As soon as we turned what was the last corner. We were greeted by Craxton and his men. Amethyst and I stopped dead in our tracks.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Craxton asked.
"S-sir, what are you doing here?" Amethyst asked shakily.
"I could ask you the same thing? I would also like to know, why this mother fucker is with you!" he snarled.
"He wanted to stretch his legs sir." she lied.
"Don't you give me that shit! I know that didn't rape him like I ordered you too!" he snapped.
"Y-you have? How?" she asked.
"I had cameras installed in your room. And from what I saw you two were makin' love." he said.
"What else do you know?" she asked.
"Nothing much, sadly the cameras don't pick up audio. But I'm guessing you two planned on escaping." he said.
"No, I was escaping. I forced Amethyst to help me." I said.
"Funny, I can't see how that's possible since I'm the only person who can control her, you lying sack of shit!" he shouted and rammed his fist into my stomach.
I collapsed to my knees holding my stomach. Craxton crouched down in front of me.
"Since for whatever reason Amethyst has decided not to rape. I think more drastic measures are in order." he said.
I was knocked unconscious, when I came too, I was in the middle of town square. Craxton, his men, the whole town, and Amethyst were there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems Mr. Naughton here has broken the law. A law that I have had established since day fucking one! And since he didn't want to take that law seriously, I have to take drastic measures." Craxton said.
He walked over to Amethyst.
"Kill him." he ordered.
"Master, that seems extreme. Perhaps we should teach him a lesson another way?" she suggested.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Here I thought you were given a choice. I order...no, I demand you go over there and kill that fuck!" he ordered.
The runes on Amethyst's collar glowed and she walked towards me.
"Amethyst stop! I know you don't want to do this! You don't have to, fight it, break from his control!" I shouted.
"I...I don't know how." she said tears forming in her eyes.
"The fuck are you doing? You listen to me you stoney bitch, I made you, I own you! You do what I say!" Craxton barked.
Amethyst shifted her gaze to me, then back to Craxton. The runes on her collar glowed intensely. She grabbed her head and began screaming. Then she grabbed her collar and ripped it off her neck. She stood there dropping whatever was left of her collar onto the ground.
"I...am your slave...no longer." she said panting and looking back at Craxton.
Craxton's men ran and Craxton pulled out a gun and started shooting at her. The bullets had very little effect on her. Once he ran out of bullets, Craxton dropped his gun and ran off.
Amethyst turned back to me and untied me.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm...I don't know...I feel...different." she said.
"You're free Amethyst, that's what you are. You're free." I said.
After that the town returned to normal. The other town that responded to our arrived, but were quickly sent back since Amethyst took care of everything. We never saw Craxton or his gang again and I doubt they'll ever will come back. Amethyst stayed in town, keeping on as our protector. Most people avoided her for the most part, I don't blame them.
Me however, I kept Amethyst company. Allowing her to stay at my house, making love on occasion. But she still stood vigil over town. I don't know if the rest of the villagers will accept her, but I certainly do.
