Going to the Dodge dealership Karen started the process of buying the truck. It helped that she was in uniform and had her military ID with her. Between the trade in of her car and Baby Girl's pickup without the shotgun or its mount, she got a sweet deal. They even arranged for the local camper store to deliver a shell for the bed so it could be installed while they waited.

She got a call from Cat while they were waiting for the shell to be mounted. "Mistress, would it be fine if you met Sara, Little Bit's friend, in the quad in an hour?"

"Let me call you back. I am having some work done on our new truck." Karen replied. She went back the service department and said in a commanding tone, "I have a meeting in one hour. I expect my truck to be ready. Do you understand me?"

"Yes Staff Sergeant. It is being detailed as we speak. Once it is finished and filled up you will be good to go." The man said. He had been in the army and since then dealt with those who had just come back before. They always had a slightly wild look in their eyes and were like a stick of dynamite ready to blow at a moment's notice. The woman before him now had that same look.

"Don't worry about the fuel, just get me my truck and I will get out of your hair."

Picking up the phone he dialed the shop. "Get the red dually finished and up here in five minutes." He smiled at her and hung up the phone. The moment she walked away he dialed it again, "Make it happen. I have a live one and if the truck isn't up here I'm going to send her back." He listened for a moment, "Yea she's good looking but look at the shotgun in the cab and ask yourself if you can sweet talk her when she has it pointed at your chest."

Karen was about to lose it ten minutes later when the General Manager hurried up to her, "Your truck is ready. Sorry about the delay." He said quickly. He too had seen those who were suffering from PTSD explode in the dealership and the pair of women were good cases for it. Two at once was more than he could imagine. "Here is a one hundred card so you can fill up on us."

"Keep it for someone who needs it," Karen replied going over to the truck. She inspected it from front to back and even the undercarriage while Baby Girl transferred the pile of junk they both had collected into the bed of the truck. Standing up she looked at Baby Girl who nodded in reply. "Thank you," She said getting in and starting it. As Baby Girl got in beside her she looked at her and said, "Cum for me pet. Break in my truck with your creamy scent." As Baby Girl mewed in pleasure beside her, she headed to a gas station to fill the diesel up.

Stopping at the pumps, Karen patted Baby Girl's leg, "I'll get the gas. Meanwhile, you get to keep cumming. I want anyone who gets in, to know a good girl came for her mistress." It took longer than she expected and made it to the quad with moments to spare. Instead of parking she said, "That's enough love. I want you to go buy a couple rolls of duct tape, rope, knife some black spray paint and finally a little tool box to keep the bondage supplies in. Then before returning, spray the windows in the shell black. We wouldn't want anyone to see who's riding around in the back do we?"

Baby Girl giggled, "Leave everything to me mistress." She got out and went to the driver's side, "Can I get some scarves also?"

Karen smiled, "I like it... Make sure everything is ready for a guest to ride in the back and text me when you return."

Baby Girl smiled, "With pleasure Mistress."

Striding to the quad it took a minute to find Cat standing off to one side and then see Patty sitting with another girl. Going over to Cat she asked, "Is everything dealt with?"

"Yes Mistress, school, job, and bills including student loan had been handled." Cat paused, "You should have heard Sara go off when Patty told her what she was doing."

"Worse than your sister?"

"Not even close. She scares me sometimes."

"Mom seriously mind fucked Sandy and I did the rest. If that wasn't bad enough the two tours, we did together were things out of nightmares. Then she was discharged... imagine what it would be like if you and I was separated for nearly a year." Karen paused, "Just give her time to get it all out of her system and it will be alright Cat."

"I know Mistress, I just worry about her and have no idea how to help."

"Just listen to her. Talking about it helps," Karen said. "So back to our Sara, should I go in nice or as a bitch?"

"Go as yourself," Cat replied. She didn't say it but she was worried about her Mistress also.

Nodding Karen walked over to the bench and said, "Hello Patty, and you must be Sara. My name's Karen."

Sara jumped up and slapped the woman before her. "You bitch, give me back my friend!"

While she had been expecting the girl to express outrage, slapping her was nowhere in the equation. She slapped the girl back and said, "That will be enough of that young lady."

Rubbing her cheek Sara said with bright eyes, "You hit me!"

"You struck the first blow. Be happy I did before Patty or Cat could reach you. They would have killed you." Karen said. "Now are you going to behave?"

"Yes mam," the Sara replied looking down.

"It's yes Staff Sergeant and look at me when I am talking to you."

"Yes Staff Sergeant, I'll be good." Sara said looking at the woman before her.

"You have five minutes, to tell me why you are a good influence on Patty. I need something more than you standing up to a stranger and calling her a bitch as you slap her." Karen said in her top military voice.

"She's my best and only friend. I need her," Sara said looking into those piercing green eyes.

"So buy a dog. Come one Sara, Patty really likes you and I want to feel good about her continuing her friendship with you." Karen said. "Why do you need her?"

"Because I love her damn it," the girl blurted.

"Did you two ever speak about your love for each other?" Karen asked looking from one to the other. When they didn't reply she said, "You two need to talk. Talk about what each wants and needs, find a common ground and work from there. If and when you find a solution that works for both of you, see me. I'll be over there," Karen pointed to a bench in the shade of a large oak tree.

Going over with Cat following she sat down and looked at the other woman. "What do you think they will do?"

"Sara will kneel before you, Mistress. If for nothing else to stay with Patty." Cat replied.

"They are a lot like Baby Girl and I. We never spoke of how we felt about each other. That lack of words made it easier to do the things I did to her. The more I did to her the more she loved it. The more she loved it the more I loved doing it to her. We were caught in a death spiral that was only broken by my parents' death and us joining the army." She looked at Cat, "I worry about when I pick up the lash. Will I be able to stop or will the dance continue where it left off?"

"You are not your mother Karen. While I would have liked to meet her, you are the one I am in love with." Cat said resting her hand on Karen's leg. "Mistress, I have faith in you even if you don't. You have a kind heart that's what counts in the end."

"She would have loved you, by the time she would have finished you would have made that first girl look like a mud hen." Karen said resting her hand on top of Cat's. "You know, I planned on taking Sara no matter what she decides. Your sister is prepping the truck for just that case. What do you think about that?"

Cat thought for a second and then said, "I wish I was helping my sister now. Sara is submissive too and will be a good girl once she learns the rules."

Karen saw them walking over holding hands. As they started to kneel she said, "Come sit down properly and talk to me."

"Mistress I'm sorry I mouthed off and struck you. I would like to join my sister in her bondage." Sara said.

"You realize that this is not a little thing you ask. It's not a game to play until you're tired of it. It is a life time commitment. Your old world will no longer matter, nor will anyone you knew before your beginnings. Your bills will be paid off, you will quit college, jobs, family everything. Sara will disappear as far as the world knows."

She looked at Karen in shock. She didn't really think it through. Before she could say yes, Karen said, "You're not ready."

Sara turned her head and looked at Patty's sad eyes. "Yes I am," she said quickly.

Standing Karen said, "We all know you're not Sara." She looked at Patty, "Put your proper one on and let Sara have your old collar. As you put the new on, say the words so that Sara can learn them."

Patty took the dog collar off and pulled out the green leather owned collar out of her purse. "I give my body to you, Mistress." She touched her chest with the collar with bright unshed tears. She touched her forehead, "I give my mind to you, Mistress." Finally, she kissed the collar, "I give my heart and love to you, Mistress." She reached up and put it on, "In all ways I belong to you now." Standing she walked over Cat and turned around, "Goodbye Sara."

"Why don't you two go over to the parking lot, Baby Girl should be along shortly." Karen said. She heard a sob beside her and looked at Sara. "It's hard to give everything up to follow your dream. I expect to find Patty crying on Cat's shoulder when we arrive."

"We?" Sara said looking up. "You're going to give me a chance?"

"No, I was planning on capturing you, tossing you in the back of the truck bound, gagged and taking you with us." Karen said with just a hint of a smile. "You are ready but you need me to do it instead of you asking."

"Yes Mistress," Sara said softly. Not only did the woman before her have a commanding presence, but she could see into her very soul.

"When we go over you will crawl into the back so you can be bound out of sight. Once home you will be collared properly, and pierced. A word of warning. If you think, I am on a hair trigger your sister Baby Girl is really on the edge. No back talk, no complaining because she will kill you in an instant and sleep none the worse. Do you understand?"

"Yes Mistress," Sara said softly. "Would you really let her kill me?"

"Not if I could. But she was with me in Afghanistan and before under my mother's thumb so she is wound tight. On the other hand, she would fight to the death to save you, her sister. Even against me if she thought I was wrong. I found that out yesterday."

"What happened?" Sara asked warming to the woman beside her.

"I was wallowing in self-pity and she shocked me out of it with a pistol and wild look in her eyes." She got the text from Baby Girl, "Well speak of the devil. One sec," She quickly typed. "Make ready for Cat and one guest to ride in the back. Then put Patty in front seat before I get there."

"Ready to go to your new life?" Karen asked.

"Yes Mistress," Sara said standing.

At the truck she saw Baby Girl and Cat waiting, one had a worried look and one a big grin. "Cat get in the back with our guest. Bind and gag her." Karen looked at Sara and smiled, "Get in dear."

As Sara crawled in she suddenly asked, "Shouldn't your captive be nude?"

"Cat will take care of that," Karen replied gesturing for Cat to get in also. Closing up the back she got in with Baby Girl in the back seat. "One more stop before we go home if you don't mind." She drove down to Foxy Lady and bought a blue owned collar. The lady at the counter said, "Those things have been selling like hotcakes the last couple days, what gives?"

"I saw a bunch of people clubbing last night wearing them so I figured I would give one to my girlfriend so everyone knows she's off the market." Karen replied with a smile. Going back outside she opened the back and tossed it in. "Put it on her."

Returning to the truck Karen smiled and headed home. "We'll worry about your car tomorrow Patty."

"I'm not worried about it Mistress," Patty replied. "I just wish Sara would have come."

"Give her time dear," Karen said.

From the back-seat Baby Girl added, "I'm sure she's all tied up now and will cum just as soon as she is able."

"Speaking of cumming, it has been a trying morning for you Patty. Cum now and don't stop until I say so." Instantly the girl was thrashing around and mewing. She smiled as the truck filled with the scent Patty's honey. She glanced in the mirror and saw Baby Girl's hungry look. "You too Baby Girl... Cum now"

She drove up the driveway and parked the truck, "Stop now pets." Karen said opening her door. She went around the back and opened it up to find Cat and a smiling, and Sara nude, bound and wearing her collar. Raising her voice, she said, "Patty could you help Cat and Baby Girl with the stuff in the back please." She went inside and poured herself a cup of coffee. As the others came in with Sara still bound she smiled. She looked at Patty, "Sara wanted to come except she needed to be commanded to come with me."

She got undressed and commended the others to strip. "This is our home. We have a strict no clothes policy." She looked at Sara still bound and Patty, "What do we have that you two don't?"

"Piercing," Patty replied licking her lips.

"Correct, Cat untie Sara while Baby Girl gets her kit." When Baby Girl returned Karen said, "With each piercing I want you to have an orgasm. Like this," She looked at Sara. "Give yourself fully to me and cum now." She watched and then said, "Again harder." She kept the girl orgasming each time stronger than the time before until she was limp. "You may begin Baby Girl."

When she finished and gave the safety lecture Karen offered her coffee cup. "Have some of my brew."

"May I have some Mistress," Patty asked with a slur.

"It takes a day or so for you to get used to the ball. And the answer is yes, help yourself to some coffee. Sara? Would you like to try my special army brew?"

Seeing how eagerly Patty and Cat went after a cup she guessed she had better get some also. "You might find it a little bitter but that's what makes it special," Baby Girl said as she went by. "It's heavenly Mistress." She added looking at Karen. "Does this mean you will be making coffee in the morning?"

"You will never know until you get up if I beat you to it." She smiled at Sara face after she took a sip. Patty on the other hand had her eyes closed in bliss. Karen walked over to Sara and said in a low voice, "Would you like to know why they are loving it?"

"Yes Mistress," Sara replied realizing her best friend was on the verge of an orgasm just from the nasty coffee. "What am I missing?"

"Mistress gave apart of herself in the pot," Baby Girl said sipping the coffee.

"You can almost say she has a pot to piss in," Patty said and giggled.

Sara looked at the cup and then Karen, "You mean you peed in the coffee? My brother told me about some crazy broad in his unit that did that to him and the squad once. Funny thing was that the squad leader seemed to like it so she kept doing it the whole time they were over there."

"Who is your brother?" Karen asked after a glance at Baby Girl.

"Tom Jones he was a ranger until they gave him a medical why?"

"Little red head a bit smaller than you who acted as if his dick touched the ground?"

Sara looked at Baby Girl, "Yea he was a bit cocky. Did you meet him over there?"

"Sara..." Cat said softy, "The crazy broad and squad leader are standing before you now unless I miss my guess."

"How is Tommy?" Karen asked.

"He committed suicide. It got too much for him. I'm sorry." Sara said looking at the cup. She suddenly raised it and said, "Here's to you big brother." She drank the cup although it about caused her to gag and burned all the way down.

"To Tommy the best damn heavy machine gunner in the whole army." Baby Girl said and drank Karen's cup.

Karen watched the other two and closed her eyes in pain. "Another lost," she said softly. She looked at Baby Girl, "Bring the others up to the grove in a few. I need a few minutes to say good bye to him alone."

"Okay Karen," Baby Girl said hugging Karen as tears rolled down her own cheeks. She waited until Karen was outside before saying, "She was our mother. She kept us alive and sane even when we rotated back the first time. But it all came apart the second time in that damn village. The squad all shot to hell and scattered like leaves in the wind." She looked towards the door, "Karen took it personally. All our troubles became her own. Of all of us, she was the only one who stayed in. Fought like hell to stay in. Only the DSC was what kept her in."

"Did she lose it and give you that bruise?" Patty asked softly.

"This?" Baby Girl asked tracing the thin black bruise across her breasts. "No, your sister Cat did. She was upset with me and let me know I crossed the line."

"You deserved worse and you know it. No... You wanted worse and I know it." Cat countered still upset.

"I need a bottle and a shot glass. Is there anything stronger than beer here sis?" Baby Girl asked.

"We have a bottle of Jack," Cat said getting the bottle from under the sink.

Baby girl grabbed the bottle and a juice glass. "Come with me to the grove. You're going to love it. I know why Karen went there to get away while growing up. It's magical and peaceful all in one place."

"Won't we need shoes," asked Patty looking at the gravel drive.

"It's not that bad, just think about Mistress being pleased with you. The pain won't matter anymore." Cat said taking her hand.

With one hand holding the bottle and juice glass, Baby Girl took Sara's hand in hers and led her out and across the driveway. "Don't mind the briars and they won't mind you." She said with a giggle.

"Baby Girl, does Mistress know you and she are the last? The squad I mean. Tom told me about how each one gave up. Only the crazy chick and the Sergeant were still alive when he gave up." Sara said.

"I don't think so and would rather not tell her if the topic doesn't come up. It will, but let me break it to her." Baby Girl replied.

"Why is your name Baby Girl?" Sara asked

"When Mistress took us, we gave up our past and names so that she can rename us as she pleases. I guess she picked Baby Girl because I act like a teenager pulling pranks and using bad puns and double meaning jokes." She paused to let the others catch up. "Cat how come you got Cat for a name?"

"It's Catherin to you, you sneaky bitch. Or Cat for short. Cat added. "Mistress gave me a new name when she bought me."

"Bought you?" Patty's eyes got large.

"Yes, at a slave auction. She wandered in there really drunk and bought me because no one else wanted a free woman wanting to become a slave without any training." Cat replied. "She tried freeing me outside until I pulled the I got nowhere else to go and no one loves me cards."

"Talk about me sneaky?" Baby Girl rolled her eyes. "Poor thing, drunk and ending up with a slave. I would have paid good money to see that."

"Is Mistress going to sell us someday?" Sara asked fearfully.

"No Mistress loves us. Even you little sister," Baby Girl said looking at Sara and giving her hand a squeeze.
Reaching the grove, they looked around and didn't see Karen, "Olly Olly Oxen free..." Sara cried out. It was only then that heard a noise up the tree and saw Karen climbing down.

"Welcome to my grove," Karen said softly. "I come up here to find peace, and be shot at."

"Will I ever hear the end of it?" Baby Girl asked.

"No," Cat said

"Not a chance," Karen said at the same time. She laughed She looked at the bottle in Baby Girl's hand, "What do you have there, me pretty?"

"I thought that before we relax here in your grove we could have a real Irish wake toast." Handing the glass to Sara, Baby Girl opened the bottle, and poured a shot in. "You give a toast to the departed and drink. Then the glass is refilled and the next makes a toast and so on."

"Tom, I know you can hear me and see your Sergeant rescued me just like you. Thank you for everything big brother." She drank the shot and gasped. Handing the glass back to Baby Girl she watched as the girl poured another shot in it and handed it to Patty.

"Tom, I'm sorry I didn't give you a tumble when you proposed it. But I loved your little sister and found love in my three sisters and your Staff Sergeant Karen." She drank it back like it was water and other then a little watering of her eyes handed it back to Baby Girl.

Pouring a little shot Baby Girl handed it to Cat. Cat on the other hand took the bottle and said, "Thank you sister." She looked up, "Lord, I've never been one for praying but please watch over Tommy for us. We would be mighty happy if you did." She raised the bottle towards the heavens and took a long hard pull. She handed it to Baby Girl who took it.

She offered the glass to Cat and said, "Hold this for me." She raised the bottle and looked into Karen's eyes, "Tommy, I'm going to miss you." She took a sip and then said, "To all those who didn't make it to this point." Like Cat she took a long hard drink and lowered it. She handed it to Karen wordlessly.

"Fuck..." Karen said softly. "God, I wish I had somehow to save them. I wish I had been there when they needed me. Thank you for allowing me to save the four standing before me now." She looked down and then up once more, "Yes God... even the bat shit crazy one." She drank about a third of the bottle before handing it back. "See even God thinks you're the bat shit crazy one."

"Good then I can quit acting sane," Baby girl replied with a smile.

"Lay down on your back girls." Karen said sitting down cross legged. "This is my grove, a place where the outside world doesn't matter." She led them down into a deep seated relaxation state. Before instilling the new desires and obsessions. Latex, tight corsets and bondage, high heels, nylons, tats, golden showers and painful pleasure. Time and time again throughout the afternoon she woke them with orgasms and sent them back into deep sleep. Each time she stressed pain is just a form of intense pleasure for very good girls only.

Karen used every trick her mother taught her to condition their minds to accept pain as a form of pleasure. By the time she finished the sun was going down and she said wake up, pinch your nipples hard and have an orgasm."

All four women screamed in pleasure as they woke. Baby girl looked at her with a smile that said, 'She would be proud of you.' Aloud she asked, "Mistress, would you allow me to have a brand like my sister Cat?"

"A brand?" Sara said sitting up and looking at her hungrily. "You have a way to brand us Mistress?"

"God that would be heavenly to be branded by our Mistress," Patty said looking at her sisters. She looked at Cat, "How did it feel sister?"

"It hurt like hell but..." Cat's voice took on an ethereal quality. "Collars can be cut off, tats can be burned away or changed, piercing is well piercing. But a brand..." She looked at Patty, "A brand is forever. You know that you are a slave and will be a slave the rest of your life." She looked at Karen, "I only wished our Mistress branded me herself."

"As drunk as I was I would have missed all together and branded the floor." Karen smiled. "Did you know mom taught me the art of double branding? It is a brand that is burned in the same spot after the first heals. Perhaps if you are really good Cat I will give you that honor." She stood, "Let's go back to the house and talk there. While I love it up here, walking down nude in the dark is not fun."

At the edge of the driveway Baby Girl stopped and looked pointedly at Karen, "Please Mistress."

"I know you're ready Baby Girl, but wouldn't you rather wait for your sisters?

"Well if you put it that way Mistress, I would rather do it right now so they can see what it is like first."

"She has a point there," Cat said.

"Come with me to my mother's old play room." Karen said and led the other three into the shed and down to the dungeon. "My mother was a special woman with special tastes." Going over to the forge she turned it on and waited until it heated up. "I spent many years down here learning everything she knew."

She walked over and caressed the different whips and smiled, "Sometimes your sister Baby Girl would play with us. She learned the importance of pain and pleasure together." She looked at Cat, "Come and lay down. You can be my demonstration model." Cat hurried over to the rack and lay on her back. Walking over to her Karen said, "Gather around pets," She looked at Cat as she ran her hand over her body. "You see when you are making love have you ever noticed how a sharp pinch can excite you more. This is the same thing."

"Cum Cat," Karen commanded and reached under the table for the box she knew was there. Pulling it up she set it on a white enamel table behind her. Turning back, she held up a pair of nipple clamps with a chain between them. She giggled and placed them on Cat's nipples just as the woman was coming down and set her off again. "See just the addition of the clamps was enough to set her off again."

She held up another pair, "Cum for me Patty," As the girl started to come down she clipped them on the girl. She smiled as Patty screamed out in pleasure and passed out from the force of her orgasm. Lucky Baby Girl was ready and eased her down to the ground. Turning to Sara, Karen smiled, "Your turn. Give in to your needs and cum for my pleasure pet." At the girl orgasmed she put a pair down on her labia and she too passed out. This time it was Karen who caught and helped the Sara down to the floor.

"What about me?" Baby Girl asked.

"For you a confession," Karen said walking up to the box she pulled out a pair of nipple clips with a weighted chain. Putting them on Baby Girl she said, "We already know you love pain so think of this as a little teaser while I talk." She walked over the collection of whips and stroked the used riding crop. "That night after you went home, I masturbated to how much I had hurt you. That was my first real orgasm." Karen turned away, "I knew then that mom had won and I was fucked... that you and I were fucked. It wasn't the pain so much as knowing you would be mine in the end come hell or high water."

She saw the others had awakened and were kneeling beside Baby Girl's standing form. "I knew that no matter what I would do to you in the future you were as hooked as I was. She walked towards Baby Girl, "I was right, wasn't I?"

"Yes," Baby Girl answered in a soft whisper.

"I could take you to the very edge and you would love it wouldn't you pet?" Karen said continuing forward until they were close.

"Yes..." she whimpered. It wasn't the words that scared her, it was the madness, her mother's madness, she was seeing in Karen's eyes. "please..." she begged softly.

"Please take you there?" Karen asked pulling on the chain holding Baby Girl's nipples slightly. "Do you want to show your sisters the ultimate in painful pleasures? Is that what you are asking for?"

She opened and closed her mouth several times as the war raged in her mind. Finally, she looked away from the madness in her Mistress's eyes and was able to speak. "Please no, Mistress."

"Good because if you had said yes you would have missed out on being branded," Karen said turning Baby Girl to look at her. She kissed the girl tenderly and whispered, "At least I know now that you will call me back if needed." She looked at the others, "While Baby Girl may be crazy sometimes, she has the will to say no without shooting me. She has a point she won't cross. Each of you must find that line in the sand."

Karen saw the irons weren't ready so she continued. "I love and care about each of you girls. If I didn't you wouldn't be here now. It is important to find the point you can't go beyond. In time it will move and each of you has a different stopping point. What I can and will do with and to Baby Girl, wont' work for you Sara. You lack the years of experience she has. It does not make you any less than her. Keep that in mind please. Don't try to be the best or make it a race. Two things will happen if you do. First I will be unhappy and secondly you will be punished."

She gestured for Baby Girl to kneel with the others and knelt before them, "Patty, what was last night like for you?"

"Terrible Mistress. I couldn't sleep and felt more lost and alone than I had ever felt before." Patty answered softly.

"That was because of the isolation. Had I realized you were mine all the way, you would have gone home with us. That was my mistake. I'm sorry." Karen said softly. She looked at the others, "An hour apart tears you apart, two hours is like spending it in hell, a night... Well your sister is stronger than I can imagine. I don't know if I would have killed myself but I do know I would have thought long and hard about it." She looked at each, "That is the punishment. Locked down here, alone knowing your sisters and I are upstairs close but nowhere close enough."

She stood and walked around the room, "I loved my parents very much for the longest time. However, while other kids were playing with dolls and the like, I played with Mom's slaves. She taught me more about human behavior and pain before I hit high school than most people do in their lifetime." As she walked around she mused on the times she had spent down here. "She was a psychopath beyond a shadow of a doubt. But by the time I saw the monster for what she was, the damage was done." She looked at Baby Girl who was watching her, "There is one difference between her and I..." Karen paused and took a breath, "When you said no, I stopped. She would have laughed and tossed you to the wall before taking you to the edge of death."

She walked over to check the branding irons. Pulling one of the white-hot irons out, she smiled. And put it back. "Cat, you will assist me tonight. In the cabinet you will find a jar labeled burn cream. Some four by fours and medical tape. Grab them and place on the table." As Cat got the supplies Karen continued, "Being branded is a life changing experience for both of us. As Cat said, each of the steps is reversible. But branding marks you physically and mentally. It hurts like hell for the first ten seconds but then the nerve endings are burned away and the pain is gone. But your mind remembers and you know there is no going back."

She looked down at Baby Girl, "Are you ready?"

"I was ready before we joined the army Mistress," Baby Girl replied.

"Stand and bend over the table." Karen commanded. She looked at the others and said. "As a sign of her submission. She holds still while branded and making it her choice instead of my control." She went to the forge and pulled out several of the brands before selecting the one Cat has on her hip. "Ten seconds Baby Girl. You need to hold still that long." She walked over and pressed in into the girl's thigh and smiled at her scream of pain. Although she twitched slightly she held still. The scent of burnt pork filled the air and Karen removed the branding iron and put it back into the forge.

"I brand you and make you my own Baby Girl." Karen intoned. "Stand and let your sister bandage it." She looked at Cat and said, "Cream, four by four and tape. I don't want any infection while it heals."

Baby Girl stood and looked at Karen in a new light. Before the woman had been her Mistress, friend and lover. Now she was Mistress and nothing else mattered. Had Karen asked her to go to the edge she would have gone simply because her Mistress wanted to take her there. "A girl thanks her Mistress for being found worthy to become her slave in all ways." She said softly.

Instead of replying Karen looked at the other two, "The day will come when you are branded. My question is; are you ready to take that step now?"

"I am Mistress," Sara replied before Patty could. "But I don't know if I can hold still long enough."

"You could always ask for your three sister's support. Assume the position Sara." Karen said as she checked the irons. Turning back, she said, "There are four brands. The first, the one you will receive now marks you as a slave. The second that you are trained in the art of pleasure. The third that you are trained in the art of pain. The final one is my family crest so that all will know who trained you. It was my mother's mark but I take it as my own now that she is dead."

"Cat you hold Sara's leg, Baby Girl her hips, Patty her shoulders." Karen bent down and kissed Sara's cheek tenderly. "Be strong for me," she said going to the irons and pulling the first one out. "I take from you, your past, all that you were and leave you nameless." Karen said and pressed the iron into the girl's leg. While Sara tried to wiggle and get away at first, by the fifth count in her mind, Karen saw she settled down.

Removing the brand Karen said, "I take you as my own for as long as we live and give you the name Red because of your beautiful red hair." She smiled at Red and commanded, "Let your sister cover and tend to your brand."

Turning to Patty Karen said, "Patty are you ready to begin your new life?"

"Mistress I was ready last night. Please take me all the way. I wish to earn all four of your brands." Patty replied. She stood and bent over the table and waited. "May a girl have her sisters hold her?"

"Yes pet," Karen replied. She took the iron and stripped Patty's past and name as she branded her. Like Red, the girl only wiggled a little bit before holding still towards the end. Removing it she said, "I take you as my own for long as we live and give you the name, Little Bit, because all last night I wanted to nibble on you."

She smiled at her girls and then looked at Cat, "Are you sure?"

"Sure?" Cat asked confused.

She gestured towards the forge. "A second time."

"If you feel I am worthy Mistress." Cat replied looking into Karen's eyes. She looked down, "A girl would be honored."

"Then assume the position. If you pull away, then we both know you weren't ready." Karen replied. Her mother had only let her do a double brand once and she screwed it up. The firestorm from that still echoed in her mind. Making sure she lined them up she pressed the branding iron in. While the woman screamed and cried out, she held still better than Baby Girl had. After ten seconds she removed it and said, "Now you are truly mine Cat until the day we die." She looked at the others, "Treat and cover the brand." Putting the iron back in the forge she waited until they bandaged Cat before turning it off and going back up.

Once they were inside Karen sat with them kneeling before her. "First rule, no and I mean no golden showers until the brands have healed." She looked at Cat, "Your two new sisters need latex. Order it with them." Turning to Baby Girl, "Please get something out and start dinner."

When they finally rejoined her in the living room Karen said, "Pleasure is important in any relationship. Never is it more important in a Mistress and her slave. Take for example the cum on command. It gives me pleasure knowing I control you and it gives you pleasure by the act alone and your knowledge I gave it to you without touching you." She paused and then commanded, "Cum for me until you pass out."

Four voices sang out as they orgasmed. The first to slump over was Baby Girl followed by Red. Little Bit and finally Cat. Karen expected Cat to come in second but she kept riding the crest a good minute longer then Little Bit. When all four woke and were kneeling once more she said, "But there is more to pleasure than cumming on command. Tonight, we will start you on learning how to please a woman, she being your sister or Mistress." Karen paused, "Baby Girl, use me and teach your sisters what mother taught you."

This was her test. Baby Girl could see Karen's mother standing behind her grading her performance in her mind's eye. "There is more to it than diving in and licking for all your worth. Look at your partner, by little movements she makes, sounds, and yes words she will tell you where she wants you to worship. For when you are making love, pleasuring another, nothing else matters in the world except your partner. In this case, our Mistress." She paused, "Red, where is Mistress's body language telling you to start?"

"Eyes, lips, and neck," Red replied after a moment.

"Show us and return." Baby Girl said tenderly.

Red stood, straddled her Mistress and kissed her eyelids, lips, and her neck slowly and tenderly. As she returned to kneel she asked, "What did I do wrong?"

"Nothing little sister, that was very loving and tender." Baby Girl replied. She flinched as if expecting the strike. When it didn't come she caught Karen looking at her funny. "It was just as you would kiss a lover. But two things wrong with it. First, it was the wrong place and secondly before you is your goddess. She is your whole world. Each caress and kiss must show that quiet desperation to please her." Baby Girl paused, "Little Bit, show us where you would start."

Little Bit stood and walked up to Karen. She thought about her Mistress's breast but suddenly knew. She kneeled and bent to kiss Karen's foot tenderly before leaning back. She kept her eyes on her Mistress as she lifted the foot and showered kisses on it and finally sucked on her big toe as if it were a little fat cock. When she set it down and returned to the others she had caught the sight of her Mistress's slight smile and rapid breathing. "Mistress seemed to like that," she said with a smile.

"The trick is, watch her face, she will tell you what she wants." Baby Girl said, "In case you didn't know, Mistress loves everything we do. Use that knowledge. If you love it, she does also for she was the one who put the burning need in us." She paused and then looked at Cat, "Take where Little Bit started and work from there."

"Can I get a pair of pantyhose for my hands?" Cat asked.

Before Karen could say no, Baby Girl said, "No, this lesson is about you, not extra's."

Cat smiled, "It was worth a try. She moved up confidently and worshiped Karen's other foot and then began working her way up her Mistress's ankle and calf. But before she hit her Mistress's knee she knew she lost her. Leaning back, she looked at Baby Girl, "I lost her."

"Yes, you did sister," Baby Girl said. She wanted to go up herself and show them how to drive her Mistress crazy but she was tasked to teach. When Cat returned to them she said, "You lost her just past the ankle but became lost in your pleasure and did not notice." She looked at them, "Sisters, this is her night. Red, start at Mistress's ankle and see where she leads you. She will tell you if you watch."

Red went up and knelt before Karen looking at her for a long moment before lifting an ankle to kiss and worship. She caught a slight hand twitch and sat up to lift the hand and worship each finger and touch it to her cheek before going to the other side and doing the same. Yes! She saw the smile and twinkle in her Mistress's eyes and knew she was pleasing Karen. Rather than continuing into unknown territory she returned to her sisters and knelt with them.
Before she was called on Little Bit stood and walked up to Karen and smiled. She took her Mistress's head in her hands and said softly, "You are our sun, our moon, our world." She kissed Karen softly on the lips before moving to her neck and could hear her Mistress's rapid breathing as she worshiped her. She moved down to suck on and kiss Karen's pierced breasts one hand keeping her up as the other played with the one she wasn't worshiping with her lips teeth and tongue. Lifting back up she smiled down at Karen and returned to the others.

Like Little Bit, Cat did not need prompting. She smiled knowing where to go. She saw Karen's legs open and inviting her in. She knelt between her Mistress's legs and kept her eyes on Karen's as she bent forward to kiss her mound lightly. Instead of diving in as Baby Girl put it, she nuzzled and kissed each thigh long and slowly before making her tongue wide and dragging it up Karen's lips. She felt her Mistress's legs close slightly and knew she was pushing it. She returned to kissing and worshiping her Mistress's thighs and they relaxed once more. After a few minutes she caught the scent of Karen's excitement and knew she was on the right track. Rather than taking a taste like she wanted to. She stood and looked at Red with a smile. "You first sister."

Red hurried forward and picked up where Cat had left off. She kept her eyes on her Mistress and read the tells she was giving her as she tasted and worshiped her cunny. Before she went too far and used her fingers she stopped and moved back. Mistress's honey needed to be shared. Kneeling she noticed Baby Girl was missing.

Little Bit moved forward and worshiped Karen's cunny using every trick she could think of to drive her Mistress crazy with pleasure while watching to see what she liked. While her Mistress seemed distracted at first she soon focused on what Little Bit was doing and after a minute gripped the cushions tightly and mewed as she orgasmed. Licking her clean she leaned back and said, "Thank you, Mistress for your gift." As she returned to the others she saw Baby Girl was once more kneeling in her place.

"Baby Girl, where did you pick up the habit of leaving in the middle of teaching a lesson?"

"Nowhere, Mistress," Baby Girl replied knowing she was in the shit.

"What do you think she would have done to you for that silly assed stunt?" Karen said looking coldly at Baby Girl. She was vexed with her and was fighting her mother's influence as to what to do to the girl before her.

"She would have killed me." Baby Girl replied. "She would have made it slow and painful until I begged for the final release."

"Then it is a good thing she isn't here." Karen said slowly. "Before punishment I want to know what was so important for you to get up and walk out."

"I had to flip the chicken Mistress. I didn't want to ruin your dinner." Baby Girl said softly. "In hind sight that might have been the wrong choice to make."

"Let's see... ruin dinner and get punished or get up, walk out and get punished." Karen paused. "It looks like a no win situation to me."

"Yes Mistress."

"Anyone have an idea how to deal with it in the future?" Karen asked. When none of them spoke up she sighed. "What do you do when you have two choices that you know will get you in trouble? Anyone?"

"Change one of the variables," Red said finally.

"Correct. You could have said at the start that you had to check on the chicken at some point. That gives you an out without getting in trouble." Karen said. She paused, "Girls, contrary to your belief, I don't know everything. I make mistakes. I am human. So, if you have or need to do something. You must tell me. Don't assume I know it already."

She looked at Baby Girl, "I know you want to be good. But I also know your need for pain." Karen stood and walked to the glass doors leading out to the porch and looked out at the night. Not turning she continued, "I know you loved, worshiped and feared her Sandy. I was watching the night you gave yourself to her, begged her to take you. You think the rape hurt? You have no idea what hurt is. My own mother taking my best friend as her slave and plaything." She didn't speak for a long time and finally said, "When you decide who's brand you really wear, let me know." She opened the door and walked out to stand on the porch and look at the night sky.

A minute later she heard Baby Girl crawl out and kneel next to her. "Please don't send me away Mistress. I'm yours, not hers."

"What am I going to do with you Sandy?" Karen asked. "I hated you with all my heart. You and she destroyed the girl I was. She knew that if she pushed you until you begged to be hers, I would become as cold as she was." She gripped the railing until her fingers were white and said in a cold and dead voice, "She was right, I became as cold and dead inside as she was. Oh god you four have no idea how far I went breaking her pain slaves. I did to them what she wouldn't allow me to do to her personal slave, my pretend friend."

Karen looked at Baby Girl and saw the other three kneeling behind her. She focused on Red's tear stained face and said, "I know why Tommy gave up the fight. I know why they all gave up in the end." She crouched down and looked Red in the eyes, "What happened, what we did over there for the most part wasn't nice. We killed and killed, never knowing if the child or woman coming up was carrying a bomb. So, you took the shot to be sure. Better them than you or your family." She looked at Baby Girl, "Yes we were a family. That fucking mess got me past my hate and I came to love my sister and her nasty coffee."

Karen turned back to Red, "But the memories remain. The nightmares remain, the ambush that destroyed our family remains." She stood and looked out at the night sky, "Then I come back, try to pick up the pieces of my fucked up and shattered life. But the nightmares remain, my mother's influence remains. She still controls Sandy from the grave. She tries to control me, make me into her daughter in all ways." She paused and said softly, "If it weren't for you girls, I would eat a bullet. You four, yes even Sandy, are the only reason I am alive. You give me love and a purpose for living."

"Tomorrow Sandy and I need to make a road trip. You three will come also but must stay out of anything that happens until I say so. If you can't stay out of it, then it would be best if you stay here while we are gone." Karen finally said.

"We will be good Mistress," Cat said.

"Please leave Sandy and I alone for a bit. Oh and Cat, I want one of you three guarding the armory and truck all night. Don't let anyone in and that includes me." Karen said.

"As you command Mistress," Cat said gathering the others and going inside. Once in there she showed them the armory and then closed it. "Sisters, Mistress and Baby Girl are both on the edge of the abyss. We must walk very carefully or we may lose one or both."

Once they were alone Karen said, "Life is a bitch."

"And then she has puppies." Baby Girl replied softly. "How can I make it right Mistress?"

"Call me Karen," Karen replied.

"How do I make it right Karen? Without you I am nothing. Please guide me. I know you don't see me as your slave." Sandy sobbed and said through tears, "Staff Sergeant tell me what to do."

"Tomorrow you will go to her grave and break from her control or you will die. Die as her slave or give her up in your mind, heart and soul." Karen said. "It's a simple as that because I will kill you myself if you don't."

"You know she won't give up that easy Karen. I can say all I want and she will just laugh. Better to kill me now and be done with it." Sandy said looking down.

"She will when she sees what I keep locked away. She played a game with her slaves." Karen looked down at Sandy, "Look at me Sandy." When the girl met her eyes she asked, "Do you think I am playing?"

"No Karen," Sandy replied seeing the madness in her eyes once more. "You don't play. Everything you do, you mean."

"Correct, she played for her amusement but I play for keeps. When I hurt I hurt because I want it to hurt. You are mine and if she can't let go then I will kill you to keep her from getting you. I should have killed you both that night. But I was not hardened to violence and death. I am now...I will kill to keep what is mine no matter who tries to get in my way." Karen looked away, "Kill them before they can get to my family. I learned that lesson well."

"So did I Karen," Sandy replied. "I won't fail you again. We'll send that bitch back to hell or die trying."

"Prepare yourself Sandy, we leave at dawn." Karen said softly. "If anyone needs me, I will be out here meditating before the battle, just like I have in the past." She looked down at Sandy, "You will be my Baby Girl once and for all. I will not lose you again, do you understand me?"

"Yes Mistress I do." Sandy paused, "Would you like your customary coffee while you meditate?"

"Yes but let each of your sisters add a little to it." Karen said. She watched Sandy go back inside and sat down cross legged and waited for the morning's battle.

She was still looking out into the woods about half an hour later when Cat came out with a plate and cup of coffee on a tray. "Mistress please eat something."

She looked at the tray and then Cat's worried eyes. "Just leave it and I will nibble on some." Instead of leaving Cat knelt beside the tray and looked at her. Finally, Karen said, "You're worried about your sister and I."

"Yes Mistress. Baby Girl is curled up in a ball whimpering and you are out here away from us." Cat said. "I know it is not my place, but please let me help somehow."

Looking back at the woods Karen said, "Cat, mom really fucked Sandy and my relationship. Even through death she has a hold on her. Sandy has to break from mom or I will kill her. Then they can be together in death. I can't fight a ghost without help and right now, Sandy is still mom's slave." She turned to Cat, "She can't pay lip service to me while serving my mother anymore."

She was horrified with the idea of Mistress killing her sister. But she understood the need for Baby Girl to break free from that bitch. She hated the woman for what she did to her Mistress and sister. It fell to her now, to help Baby Girl prepare to denounce her owner. "Thank you for telling me Mistress." She got up and was about to go inside when Karen stopped her.

She took a sip of the coffee and looked at it frowning. "Cat, tell Sandy that Staff Sergeant wants her asap. If she doesn't respond add that she had better pick a direction and start running."

In less than a minute Sandy was standing before Karen at attention. Standing Karen said softly, "Do you think I am playing a game with you Corporal? Is that what you think? I gave you an order and got this." She gestured with the coffee cup after tossing the coffee out.

"Don't push me Sandy for sure as god made little green apples I will take that shotgun in the truck and blow your brains out right here and now." She leaned forward until they were nose to nose, "You will go inside, make a proper pot of coffee and bring me a cup. Do you understand me Corporal?"

"Yes Staff Sergeant," Sandy replied meekly.

"You have one chance Sandy. That's the limit, fail me one more time and I will kill you. If I manage to keep my temper, I will do it so slow that you will beg to die before I am done. You never saw me play fully. One more push and you will find out what pain is really like. Do you really want to see my fires of hell?"

"No Staff Sergeant," Sandy said in a whisper.

"Then make the coffee properly and bring it to me as you should have in the first place." Karen stormed. Sitting back down she picked up the chicken and started to slowly eat it. She licked her fingers clean when she finished and reached down to grab some mashed potatoes and mush them into the peas. She ate as she did in the field, without utensils and her mind a thousand miles away.

She was just finishing up when Sandy rushed out with a fresh cup of coffee. Taking it she took a sip and closed her eyes, "Much better, thank you." She opened her eyes and looked at Sandy, "Sandy, you can't serve two Mistresses. I can't fight her and you both. I need you in my camp or out of the way." She paused and then added, "You begged me once not to make you kill me. I am returning the beg now. Please don't make me kill you."

"I don't know how," Sandy cried and crumpled to the deck. "How do I break from her Karen?"

"You will denounce her as your Mistress and give yourself to me at the gravesite. Then you will destroy her marker and desecrate her grave. Finally, I will show her my fires of hell as I punish you for all these years of you listening to her instead of me." Karen said coldly. "Or you won't and I will take you to her grave and put a bullet in your brain."

"Grab the tray and come with me," Karen commanded. Inside she looked at Cat and Little Bit, "The dinner was very nice, thank you." She looked at Sandy, "You are forgiven for getting up and walking out on your lesson." Returning her attention to Cat, "Please bind Baby Girl to the bed spread eagle for me. I will be in as soon as I wash up." She went to the bathroom and smiled coldly into the mirror. Walking to the bedroom she looked down at Sandy. "Before we go I thought it would be good for you to remember what you are fighting for." She tapped Red, who was sitting in the closet door and gestured for her and the others to follow her out. In the living room she said, "I have to break mother's hold on her. Please trust me and pray that my plan works."

"What are you going to do Mistress," Red asked softly.

"I am going to take her to the grove and while there to the dungeon where she will watch me kill my mother slowly and then take her as mine. I pray it works because I really don't want to go to jail for blowing up a graveyard and then shooting the woman who saved my life over there." Karen said softly.

They looked at each other and then her, "What can we do to help?" Cat asked.

"In the dungeon is several items I will need. You will find a braded whip hanging on a wall. It is the evilest thing you have ever seen. I need that whip and two whips that have wide straps for tails. Finally, there is a machine, a fucking machine. It looks like half a drum covered in leather with leather cuffs for wrists and ankles and a dong sticking up in the middle. If you girls can drag it up and put it in the living room, I would be really happy. I also need the ketchup and make sure it is blood temperature."

Going back to the bedroom she looked down at Sandy, "You need to be in the proper mood for play. Go to the grove pet." She kept working at taking the bound woman deeper into a trance until the others came back. Karen saw Cat come in with the various whips and smiled, "Think back to that last day we three played and remember it with me Sandy. You and mom were playing without me in her play room. You were tied on the table as she used the pin wheel on your belly when I came in. I smiled down at you and then walked past, "You should use something like this on her mom, I said walking over to the whips. She followed me and asked which one."

Karen paused, "Remember you watching us as I stroked the whips. This one, I said as I punched her in the belly and then as she bent over pulled her head down to crash into my rising knee." Again, she paused to allow Baby Girl to envision her words, "Remember me slamming her against the wall and binding her wrists over her head. Hear her yelling for me to let her go or else." Karen smiled coldly and bent close and whispered, "But I didn't did I... I came over to you and you saw the madness in my eyes as I picked up a scalpel and slid it butt down over your belly making fake cuts."

She stood and continued, "Then going over to her I took her prize leather dress and cut it from her body not caring if I sliced flesh at the same time. I grab the braded whip and smile back at you. You shouldn't have begged her to take you Sandy. Because I am going to have to kill you both and teach you the true measure of pain." Karen took two broad tailed whips and grabbed the straps. She smiled and snapped them so it sounded like a whip strike. "Sing for me mother. Sing as I flay you alive. Hear her screams Sandy as you watch helplessly while I play my way." She handed Cat the whips and took the braded one. She made motions of the girl to keep making the snapping sound as she talked. "Look, do see her ribs start to show?" Karen said giving a little insane laugh.

Karen saw Red standing in the doorway with the ketchup and hurried over to her. "All screamed out I see." She gestured to Cat to stop as she squirted her hands with the ketchup. Taking the braded whip, she said, "Watch as I rub my hands over her bloody back and return to you." She bent down and smeared her hands all over Sandy chest and face. Grabbing a fistful of hair, she jerked Sandy's head up and hissed, "Look at her... look at your Mistress and watch as I take her life."

Sandy's eyes snapped open and she stared into the past.

Letting go she walked to the foot of the bed and stood slightly turned. "Just so you know mother... I just got a call from the state police. It seems you and dad died in a car crash a few hours ago." Karen laughed. "So there is no help for you bitch!" She made the motion as if she were tilting someone's head back and slitting their throat. "My how she gurgles," she said with a laugh before returning to the bedside.

"As for you... You betrayed my friendship." Karen lightly hit her belly with the braded whip and dragged it off. "You betrayed my love you fucking cunt! I loved you Sandy! You were my world!" With each line she let the whip fall on her and drug it off. Keren tossed the whip to the side and bent down, "Look at me, you useless piece of shit." When Sandy's glazed eyes turned towards her she said, "I want to skin you alive. Take my time and enjoy watching you die. You have no idea how bad I want it. But as slow as I could make it last, it could never compare to this last year of you serving her while pretending to be mine."

Karen giggled, "No I have a better idea. You are going to submit to me now and do as I command. Clean up the blood, bury her in the driveway and then I am going to make you forget this day." She paused and then whispered, "Submit now or die now, it's all the same to me."

"I submit Karen," Sandy said slowly, brokenly.

"See yourself unbinding the body and dragging her to the elevator and to the driveway. Bury her with the excavator as I watch from one side laughing." Karen paused, "Then back to the play room to clean the mess again as I watch." Karen paused and then went over to the others who were watching with wide eyes. "I need a damp washcloth and put the other whips up." When Little bit gave her the damp washcloth she smiled and winked. Before turning back to Sandy, "You follow me inside and to their bedroom where I tie you down spread eagle on the bed. And after a few moments wipe the blood and gore I marked you with," she said as she washed the ketchup off Sandy's face and chest. Holding up the washcloth she smiled at how it looked a lot like blood. "I make you forget I killed her so you would mourn the loss of your Mistress until I make you remember." Karen said softly. Picking up the braded whip in one hand she held the washcloth in the other. She walked to the foot of the bed and said, "Wake up Sandy."

Sandy's eyes opened and she looked around and saw Karen holding the bloody washcloth and braded whip and it all came back to her. She screamed and struggled to get free while begging Karen not to kill her.

"You will toe the line or I will bury you next to her" Karen said looking down at her. She walked over to the other three and handed them the rag and whip, "Clean these please, put the whip up and then wait for us in the living room." She returned to sit on the edge of the bed. "She has no claim to you anymore. You are and will remain mine till the day you die. Do you understand that Baby Girl?" When all Sandy did was roll her eyes she sighed, "I asked a question slave. I expect an answer."
"I understand Mistress," Baby Girl replied in a terrified voice.

"I expect you to be, the girl I fell in love with. The one I killed my mother to reclaim. Before you freak at how hard it was for you to watch, just remember I had to act." She reached out and rested her hand on Sandy's chest, "What did we learn in the army?"

"Our squad is our family and family looks out for family." Baby Girl said softly.

"That's right, family watches out and protects our family. You are my family. You and your three sisters are the only family I have now." Karen said softly. "I can't lose you. Even when I hated you; I loved you more." She paused, "We don't need to go to the cemetery do we?"

"No Mistress," Baby Girl said and meant it. "We don't even need to go to the driveway. I'm yours and no one will ever change that."

"Good girl," Karen said. "Feel like joining your sisters in the living room? I have a reward for your good job teaching them. Other than the little bobble which I forgave."

"If it pleases you Mistress, a girl would love to join her sisters in the living room."

"If you keep talking in third person you are going to get tickled instead."

"Sorry Mistress."

"It's okay. Now look at me and tell me your name. I want to hear you say it."

"My name is Baby Girl," Baby Girl replied with a smile. "Your Baby Girl."

"And don't you forget it," Karen said bending down to kiss Baby Girl tenderly.

In the living room she motioned Baby Girl to get on the machine and buckled her wrists and ankles in. Turning it on she stood back and smiled, "There is a point where pain and pleasure combine. Cum Baby Girl." She smiled as the girl mewed and bucked up and down on the machine. Reaching to one side she turned the nob up to five and hear Baby Girl throw her head back and go nuts bouncing up and down. With how she was bound, no matter how the girl tried she could not get off it.

Karen went to the kitchen poured herself another cup of coffee and came back. "The wetter you are, the more it stimulates you and shocks at the same time. That in turn excites you and the cycle continues until it reaches maximum and then stops. "Your sister once lasted an hour before it finally stopped. "How long do you think she will last tonight? Closest guess gets to go next."

Cat looked at Baby Girl lost in pleasure and said, "Half an hour max."

"Not even close sis, fifteen minutes," Little Bit said looking at her in wonder.

"Five minutes," Red said looking at Karen. She walked over and poured herself a cup of coffee and said softly, "That really happened didn't it Mistress."

Not looking at her Karen replied just as softly, "What makes you say that?"

"Tom told me about it. Apparently his Sergeant confessed that she had caught a sadistic mass murder hurting her girlfriend and she had killed the woman and buried her where no one would find her." Red said softly. She reached out and touched Karen's arm. "I glad for both your sakes you did it. I only wish I had been there to help."

Cat turned and said, "We all do."

"And for the record your whispering abilities suck." Little Bit said looking at them.

"Five minutes," Karen said looking at her watch. "This isn't an endurance test Baby Girl, enjoy yourself," She said loudly.

That was what she wanted to hear and Baby Girl orgasmed in pleasure. The machine ramped up in speed and electrical current running across the rubber cock and she was off and running. She mewed in pleasure knowing Karen finally forgave her. At the fourteen minute mark she finally passed out as the machine gave her one last large shock.

Moving forward Karen released her and lifted her up off. "Next up Little Bit," She added, "Cum for me pet," as the girl straddled the rubber cock. While she was buried on it Karen quickly bound her wrists and ankles and started the machine back up. "How long Cat?"

"Fifteen," Cat said looking at Red.

"Ten max, Little Bit is a fire cracker waiting to blow." Red replied. True to her prediction Little Bit slumped over at ten minutes. As she was bound to the machine she looked at Cat, "Bet you a nickel I last longer than you."

Before Cat could reply, Karen said, "Tonight is about having a good time dear. Later we will work on endurance." She kissed the girl and started it up.

Cat waited until Red was into it before asking softly, "Mistress, what really happened? Why does she still haunt you?"

"The whole time, once she realized I was unstoppable, she critiqued me." She looked at Cat, "I was punishing her and she kept telling me what I was doing wrong. Teaching me how to kill her slowly and saying I was not worthy to be her daughter. I finally lost it and cut her throat because I couldn't take her abuse anymore." Karen looked at Baby Girl, "The first time I tried to get her to remember, she completely lost it. Tommy had to help me calm her down and I made him swear never to tell a soul."

"We'll help you fight her," Cat said. "We all will."

"I just want us to be happy together," Karen said softly. About that time Red gave out a loud cry and slumped forward. "Last but not least..." She unbound the woman and laid her out with the other two and turned to Cat, "You're up dear."

As she impaled herself on the cock she asked, "Mistress, how long did you last? I'm assuming you have tried it."

"Just shy of two hours," Karen said starting it up.

"Did you say two hours?" Little bit asked getting up slowly.

"Just under it yes pet." Karen replied sitting down near where Little Bit was kneeling and looking at her in wonder.

"How did you manage it?"

"Practice," Karen replied. "By the time Christmas rolls around, you will be able to beat my best time. Each of you will."

Baby Girl looked at Cat humping the machine and then up at Karen. "If you say so Mistress."

If she says so what?" Red said rolling onto her back and looking at the ceiling. "That was nice...."

"Mistress says we will hit the two-hour mark by Christmas," Baby Girl said looking at her sister.

"No way," Red replied rolling over and slowly getting up to kneel next to Baby Girl. She looked up at Karen, "That is not possible Mistress. Is it?"

"If I can do it, you can too." Karen replied.

"Mistress, please forgive me for saying but I have to call bullshit on the two-hour claim." Little Bit said. She smiled, "I guess you will have to go next and show us."

At first Karen clouded up. How dare she accuse her of not telling the truth. But then she realized Little Bit wanted her to ride and enjoy herself also. "I guess I will," Karen replied with a little smile. "But in the future find a better way of calling BS. I don't want to take it wrong and get upset with you girls."

They watched Cat ride and finally slump forward and off it just over fifteen minutes. Releasing her Karen bound her ankles and bent back to start it. Once it was running she slipped her wrists in the cuffs and said, "Note the time." The first orgasm came quickly but then she was able to get control of herself and just enjoy the ride. After about fifteen minutes she noticed Red watching with wide eyes and said, "You have to try this blindfolded. It really adds to the pleasure."

When Baby Girl said softly, "Thirty minutes," Karen let go and rode her way through another orgasm. She kept it there by focusing her mind on watching the girls watching her. Baby Girl's look of hunger coupled with Little Bit's happy smiles excited her and she had to turn her attention on Red and finally Cat who looked surprised. "Forty five..."

At the one hour mark all four girls were speechless and Karen rode through her third orgasm. "This is when it gets hard," she said brokenly. She was fighting the need to cum actively. "Your body says one thing and you have to fight to keep from cumming." Again, the words came slowly spread apart by pants of pleasure.

She had her eyes closed and letting the pleasure take her when Karen suddenly remembered her mother standing over her and laughing, "You're no better than any of my other sluts."

Karen hissed, "I hate you so fucking much... one day I am going to rip your heart out and eat it." She stopped humping the machine and opened her eyes to see the wide eyes of her girls. Of all Baby Girl was the worst shocked. She was there kneeling and watching Karen's punishment. Locking eyes with her she smiled, "I beat her at her own game that day didn't I?"

"Yes Mistress, she gave up at the two hour mark." Baby Girl replied. She suddenly laughed, "I was so proud of you Karen for doing what I could not."

She looked at the others, "She was taunting me and saying I was no better than her slaves. I lost it and the anger, rage against her was what saw me through until she gave up and turned the machine off." Karen paused, "But now I don't have to prove anything to her anymore and can just enjoy myself." Closing her eyes, she let herself go and the orgasms began to flow together until her mind melted in a puddle of pleasure.

Karen woke in the bed with all four girls trying to cuddle with her at once. She could see sunlight coming from the bedroom window and wondered how to get up without disturbing them. She was still wondering when Baby Girl opened her eyes and smiled at her. She in turn woke Cat and the pair of them got up which allowed Karen to slide out. As she stood to hit the bathroom she heard Cat waking the other two.

Coming out of the bathroom she looked at the four girls, "It feels so wrong to use a toilet to pee in. I miss my morning shower." She paused a beat, "Who's up for their morning run?"

"Run?" Red asked looking at her sisters.

"Mistress keeps saying she's going to take us on a little five mile run." Cat replied with a smile.

"I'm game," Little Bit smiled.

"And you used to run cross country track too," Red shot back.

"Baby Girl?" Karen asked.

"Think you can keep up this time Mistress?" Baby Girl said with a small smile.

"Only one way to find out," Karen replied. "Down to the end of the driveway and back twice. That's about three miles total. Any other suckers?"

"I'll pass," I need shoes and something to wear other than a dress," Cat replied.

"Me too," Red said.

"Cat you and Red make breakfast." Karen said. She paused and then added, "After we eat I want to get Red's stuff picked up and hers and Little Bit's car dealt with. Then we'll go shopping for cross country shoes and workout clothes for you four." Looking at them, "There is more to life than playing around. I want us to stay in shape and I hate diets."

She paused and then said, "Ten minutes, outside." She went and dressed in a clean set of fatigues and put her boots on. Going out she found Little Bit and Baby Girl stretching and giggling.

"Dare I ask what the joke is?" Karen asked joining them.

"Someone, and I won't name who, failed to make it to two hours last night like she said she could. We were just joking that she needed to practice along with the rest of us." Baby Girl said with a smile. "Face it Mistress, it would be fun to just let go and be one of the girls riding that machine all night long."

Karen smiled in return, "Yes you're right. I do need to practice and what better way is with my four girlfriends, lovers, and sweet submissives." She gestured down the sloping driveway, "Do what you can. I don't want you two dropping dead on me." She started down in an easy jog.

While Baby Girt kept pace with her, Little Bit took off like a gazelle down the driveway. She was about half way down when the girl waved as she jogged by on the uphill side. Again she was about half way up when the girl waved on her second downhill run. She realized Baby Girl had fallen behind at some point but saw she was only fifty or so feet behind her. Karen about caught up with Little Bit half way up the second lap but the girl catching the sounds of her feet on the gravel managed to keep the lead to the end.

She smiled at Little Bit and then Baby Girl as the girl joined them. "I would have taken you if we had done a third lap. The trick is to finish; keep a speed you can maintain." She looked at Baby Girl, "Time was I would have eaten your dust all the way. You're out of shape little one."

"Not much exercise tattooing." Baby Girl replied. "Give me time and I will give our gazelle over there a run for her money."

"Good luck sis," Little Bit said laughing. "But it felt good to run, can we keep doing it in the mornings?" She asked looking at Karen

"Sure, and in a week or so we can run the cross country trail I made."

"If you think I am going to run on that thing Mistress, just punish me now." Baby Girl said. She looked at her sister, "It was a course made to push herself and of course her loyal follower to their limits. Even in great shape we couldn't finish it."

"We can do it now that we're older and in better shape." Karen said. "At least give it a try. Then you can run laps while the rest plays follow the leader."

"You'll not leave me behind," Baby Girl said. "Where you go I follow. Even if it is on that trail of yours."

"I know dear," Karen replied with a smile. "You'll be the one in the back cussing a blue storm."

"Let's go see what your sisters made for breakfast."

They were shopping in the local wally world after having picked up Reds few belongings and closed out both girl's accounts. The cars the pair sold to other students for next to nothing. Karen was walking with them when she said, "You can get workout clothes, and five sets of causal. This is not the place to find something to take you out in. We'll go to the strip for that."

Baby Girl came over and said softly, "Karen can we each pick a gift for you?"

"Going to buy me a pony?" Karen asked.

"Do you really want a pony?" Baby Girl countered. "No, just let us show you we care in our own way."

"Okay you win," Karen said rolling her eyes.

"No peaking until we're home," Baby Girl said dancing back to her sisters.

Karen walked to the front of the store and waited in parade rest while they shopped. When they finally came up front, the cart was overflowing. She was glad they were bonding with each other. Just like her old unit, a strong bond kept them alive and healthy until the end. Walking over she smiled and paid for it not looking at the total. Once outside she waited in the truck while they unloaded.

"Anything that can't wait on putting in the fridge?" Karen asked Cat who got into the front seat.

"No Mistress but that brings up a question. If we had a small freezer we could store more meat and bread than we can now." Cat said.

Karen looked at her, "You would think my parents knew that but we didn't have a freezer. Baby Girl do you ever remember a freezer?"

Baby Girl leaned forward, "Funny that you ask. As much of a survivalist as your father was, where was his food stores?"

"Good question," Karen replied. "There has to be another room or something there we don't know about." She looked at the girls, "Let me think on it while we shop for stepping out clothes for you girls." She pulled in to the strip mall that had the Foxy Lady store and several other ones and leaned against the front of her truck thinking. She went to her purse and opened it to find her last cigar had been broken at some point in the past.

She was holding it when Baby Girl came out of the store, reached in her purse and pulled out one. "I remembered how you liked one now and then Karen. Remember you always told me you helped you think?"

"I do and thank you love," Karen said taking the cigar and kissing Baby Girl tenderly. As the girl returned to shopping, she lit the cigar and thought. The best she could come up with is that he would want it close to the armory. That meant down the tunnel. Knowing the traps to get to her mother's play room, the one's her father set up for his area had to be worse. She needed someone from a demo unit. Someone she could trust because those crazy fucks could not be controlled.

Catching Baby Girl's eyes, she motioned the girl to join her, "We need a demo unit. Got any connections?"

Thinking she shook her head, "No Karen. I guess I get to become your tunnel rat."

"Like hell, I'll go down while you and your sisters go up to the grove." Karen said looking towards where the house was from town.

"NO!" Baby Girl said loudly stepping in front of Karen. "No... I betrayed you once. I won't let you throw your life away like I did."

"You did what you had to baby. Now it's my turn to do what I must," Karen said trying to calm her down. "This is not the place for the two of us to snap. Let it go and we will discuss it when we get home."

"Fine but give me the truck keys. I know you Karen, you would leave our asses here while you go explore." Baby Girl paused and added, "If it were just you and I, I would say fine. It would be a fitting punishment for me. But look at those three girls in there, what will happen to them if you die?"

Karen looked at the them staring at her and Baby Girl, "Good point. We really need someone who is into demolitions and traps. Any ideas on how to even find someone?" She reached into her pocket and handed Baby Girl her keys, "Tell your sisters to wrap it up soon. I want to get home and think."

She closed her eyes and thought. By the time the others were ready she went in and paid and returned to the truck. "We have to hit wally world again," She said heading back. Going in she strode to the camping and hardware area, bought a flashlight that could be worn, more heavy rope, a couple large D rings, various screwdrivers, pliers, nail and cotter pin selections. As she drove home her mind was a million miles away.

At the house, while everyone was bringing things in and putting them away, Karen was putting everything she thought she needed out on the bed. She tied one end of the rope to the corner of the frame and then snaked it back to the gun room. Going to the dining room she sat down and waited unspeaking for the others. As the others came in, they saw her stoic expression, topped (change "topped" to "stopped") talking and sat down at the table.
