Chapter 22 It was three o'clock PM and slowly we made our way through the moonless night. There were the usual four of us, Nina, Sabine, Fritz and myself. We had trained for almost a week for this night and now we just hoped that we were ready for it. Even though we had flashlights we didn't dare to turn them on but had to rely on Fritz who walked first to warn us if there would be an obstacle in the way. We didn't expect one because we had made a very thorough reconnoiter and knew the way to the monastery by heart. Suddenly we heard Fritz mutter something that could be interpreted as a dirty word and I understood that he had reached the wall and I carefully made my way up to him. "Do you know exactly were we are?" I whispered. "Not yet. I'll look, feel, for the stone now. It must be this way," he whispered back and I heard his voice trail off a little as he moved along the wall. "No, must have taken the wrong way. Yes here it is!" We had been here the previous night and when we lay a stone directly under the point of the wall were I would aim when I threw the hook up and hopefully made it stick. I had to take four big steps out from the wall and from there throw the hook up. I warned the other and heard them walk away, swung the hook in wider and wider circles and then I let go. With a light grip on the rope I could feel that it ran out smoothly. For a while I thought I had succeeded at my first try but then I heard a clatter as the hook fell down along the stonewall. I wound up the rope in my hand and tried again it wasn't until my fifth try that the hook connected. I called Fritz over since he was the first to climb the rope, secure a rope-ladder and throw it down so that the rest of us would be able to get up with all the equipment we carried. A short while later the end of the ladder landed on the ground and Nina started to ascend and when we heard a low hiss Sabine started her journey upwards and then it was my turn and soon we stood at a balcony that run all along the wall and caught our breath. While we stood there all breathing rather heavy I took the opportunity to look around. There were light on in a couple of windows, most of them on the ground floor but some were scattered all over the wall so it was obvious that not everyone was asleep even if we had hoped that they were. As we walked along the balustrade we kept as close to the wall as we could, we didn't know how wide it was and of course didn't want to fall down, it was after all about eight to ten meters down. After a slow walk for twenty meters we could feel that the surface changed shape. "Wait," Nina whispered and we heard her take her rucksack off and rummage in it and shortly thereafter we heard a soft 'click' and a thin beam of light shoot out onto the floor for a few seconds, long enough for us to see that we had reached a staircase. We walked down it and soon we stood on the courtyard, pressed against the wall. "I think it is my turn to have a look around," I whispered, put my rucksack on the ground and walked across the yard to the nearest lit window. I peeked inside and saw a monk sitting by a table reading a book by candlelight. No one else was in the room so I continued along the wall till I came to a door. I pressed down on the door handle and the door opened. I took a peek inside and saw a long hallway sparsely lit before I closed the door and went back to the stairs were my three companions waited for me. I told them about the door and we decided that we should try and see were it led too. I entered first and held the door for the others and when we came into the light I found it funny to see three rucksacks float in the air and I had to smile despite the graveness of the situation. We were after all on unfamiliar ground here. We didn't know if this actually was the place were the other Timetraveler lived, nor did we know if he, or she, was a violent person and what means he would take if we were discovered. We followed the hallway to a large room from which several doors left as well as one stair the went up and another that led down. "Were do you think it would be most likely that he hid a Time Machine," Fritz asked in a whisper. "On a topfloor or in the cellar?" "Cellar!" the rest of us chorused. "OK, cellar it is then," Fritz said and I saw his rucksack float away to the stairs that led downwards. The rest of us followed, me at the back. At the foot of the stairs their was a small room with three doors. I walked over and opened the one the was to the left and looked in. There was a row of doors that led into cells, swiftly I walked down and looked inside every door and inside every cell there lay a person on a bunk. If there were prisoners there had to be a warden. I told the others to look out for the warden and opened the door in the middle. This was also full of doors that led into cells. Maybe we had been mistaken about the purpose of the castle. Maybe it wasn't a monastery but a prison. Fritz had followed me inside while the women sat down and rested while they could. "Do you think this is a prison and not a monastery?" I asked Fritz. "Everything we saw earlier suggest that it is a monastery," he said. "But why all the prisoners then?" "I really don't know. Maybe it is something they do on the side. You know convert the sinners." "We could free them." "I don't think so. We don't know why they are here. They could all be murderers as far as we know and in that case we don't want to let them loose on the public, do we. But it can be used as a back up, if everything goes wrong we could free them. Maybe that would give us time enough to get away." Behind the last door there were also a row of doors but these weren't prison doors. These were ordinary doors. Maybe a little more sturdy. I walked over to the first one and opened it slowly and peeked inside. It was some sort of torture-chamber! Thankfully it was empty but a lot of hideous tools were laying everywhere and I shivered just thinking about the poor devil that was subject to this apparatuses. Fritz must have looked over my shoulder because I could hear him curse silently. Someone pushed me aside and then I heard Nina murmur her disgust and Sabine thereafter. "Let's have a look in the other rooms too," Nina said anxiously. We spread out and opened doors as we went, all of them were empty and I silently drew a breath of relief at that. It was me who opened the last door and suddenly I was staring straight at a spread vagina! Due to the fact that was a extremely unexpected sight it took me a while to realize what it was I was looking at and then I let my eyes travel a little higher, along a woman's body, noticed the high breasts and the face. I took a step inside and I saw that it was a young girl that lay with her legs spread wide by a y-shaped table, her arms almost straight up above her head. "Oh my god!" I heard Sabine moan as she saw the figure on the table. "I don't think that this girl can be a murderess," I whispered to Fritz. "Me neither." "Shall we free her? We must!" "OK. But it will cause a lot of trouble. Were will she go when she's freed?" "Home with us, if she want's to and I think any place would be better then this." "OK. I can see that it is some sort of mechanical rack," just as Fritz said this a clonking was heard and the girl moaned a longstretched moan and we could see how the 'y' widened and her legs were forced another centimeter apart, her arms were stretched even further up. "I wonder how long intervals there is between each... stretch?" "I don't think she cares, I know that I don't." Suddenly I couldn't stop myself if it was that I thought it would take her mind off her obvious pain or if it was sheer egotism I don't know even today but I stretched out and let my finger lightly as a feather stroke the length of her spread pussylips. She tried to jerk but the muscles in her body was so tightly stretched that it was impossible. Her eyes that till know had been closed tightly flew open and she tried to look down between her legs. As she couldn't raise her head which was secured to a headboard with a leatherstrap, she didn't have any good view. She would only have seen our rucksacks even if she had been able to look down properly. "I'll se if I can stop the mechanism," Fritz volunteered. "I'll hold her hand, showing her that she's not alone," Nina said. "Wait! Take off your rucksacks first, we don't want to scare her to death know when rescue is so close and Sabine you keep an eye out for anyone coming this way." Soon three rucksacks stood by the side of the door and the forth hovered in the doorpost. Suddenly the girls eyes looked askance towards her hand and I understood that Nina had gotten into position and now was holding the girl's hand. This left me without anything to do so I concentrated on the defenseless pussy in front of me. Again I reached out and stroked my finger along the slit, it was dry and I imagined that it couldn't be any comfortable state for it to be in. I didn't have any time between thought and deed as I bent my head down and lapped the dry pussy. A moan escaped the girl's throat again. Another lick, another moan but my tongue drew some wetness to the dryness and even some taste to my taste buds. A fresh seawater taste mixed with some urine and when I glanced down at the floor I could see that it was a little damp and understood that she had pissed on it. This made me wonder how long she had been tied to this mechanism. Soon I was lapping the cunt as a kitten would lap milk out off a platter and she got wetter and wetter. I stopped for a while and looked up at her. She lay there with her eyes closed. Her tongue flicked over her dry lips. "Water," I whispered to Nina. I heard the clinking of porcelain and understood that Nina was looking through the pots that stood on a table by the wall and then one pot floated through the air, leaned over the girls face and a few drops of water dripped down on her dry lips. She licked the drops eagerly and then another couple of drops fell on her tongue as she stretched it out to get to a little wetness on her upper lips. All the while her eyes remained shut. I don't think she dared to look up risking the dream go away. I started my licking again it seemed to do the trick in soothing her and as soon as my tongue found the little clit her eyes again shot open and when she saw the floating pot just centimeters away from her face she cried out. I saw the impression of Nina's fingers as she pushed down on the girls mouth. "Sch," she hissed and with eyes so full of fear that I almost wept she just stared out into space. Suddenly I could see how the 'y' snapped back the centimeter that it had stretched a moment ago. Again the girl moaned if it was because the relief or my licking I don't know. A while later the 'y' again gave a centimeter and it was rewarded by another moan. Again it coincided with me finding her clit which had swelled up quite noticably. I lifted my head and took another look at the pussy in front of me. The hair was black, so black that it almost shimmered of blue in the dim light. The mound was high and covered by the hair completely but not thicker than you could see the skin underneath. The inner lips were so thin that I had missed them at my first inspection and the lay so close to the fat outer lips that they almost seemed to be part of them. Her stomach was flat and taut maybe because the position she was in, her navel deep and narrow, her breasts couldn't resist standing straight up even if she was stretched almost as much as a human body could bear. Two small nipples in oval aureoles, dark red as the surrounding. Firm jawline and well defined chin, full, red lips a long straight nose and I had noticed earlier that her eyes were brown. All in all she wasn't anything like any of the women in our two families. As I looked at her she moaned a little again for no obvious reason. "Robert," Nina hissed. "Yes dear?" "Have you stopped - molesting her?" "Molesting?" I asked innocently. "Darling, I know you and I know what the Machine does to ones hormones. So whatever you did to this poor child keep doing it. She forgot her pain for while when you did - I think I know what - to her." Now with the blessing from my wife I could pay the victim my undivided attention and I went to work again. Slowly, too slow for my liking, the 'y' closed centimeter by centimeter and with each little slackening of her stretched body the girl moaned a little moan of relief. It must have been ten minutes later when the gap between her legs had narrowed much enough for her to rise her ass off the wooden surface to meet my attacking tongue and after that her little ass bounced up and down in eager wantonness her moans of relief mixed by now with moans full of lust and my own lust build up as well. I stood and aimed my cock to the target and I put the tip of it against her spread cunt. Her eyes were shut close and while I slowly let my cock enter the tight, but very wet, cunt her moans altered and took shape and I could make out a few words. "Mon dieu. Oh mon dieu," she gasped as my cock spread her cunt apart and judging by the tightness it was the first time anything had been inserted in it. Her hips lay absolutely still on the table while I slowly worked myself deeper and deeper inside and when I after a long while was totally buried in her she sighed a little sigh and her eyes slowly opened. She again looked around her, trying to look down her body. "Can't you get the head-bond off her?" I whispered to Nina. "Not yet. It's connected to the rack so it will take another couple of centimeters, but it's getting close so you better hurry," she added a little sarcastically. "Doing my best dear, doing my best." I heard a little sarcastic snigger at this and the girls eyes tried to focus on the person standing beside her. "Oooh mon dieu," she repeated over and over again as I started to thrust in her. I don't think that I had made more then about a dozen thrusts when I felt how her pussywalls closed down on my hard shaft and even more wetness made her cunt so slippery that it overflowed and ran down between her spread asscheeks. I wasn't worried that her moans would attract any attention by themselves, whoever heard them must think that it was because the machine was doing its work on her. What could have been a source of worry though was the rather strong musky smell that started to fill the room. At almost the same time as the chains that stretched her body slackened my own climax came rushing though my cock and I erupted inside her and she wailed so loudly that Nina had to put her hand over her mouth to stifle the cry. I was too preoccupied by the tingling sensation of my orgasm and the girl's cunt dancing around my cock to pay any attention to this. I just noted it in passing. As soon as the cry had silent Nina started to undo the girl from her shackles starting with her head and then the arms. I thought that the girl would let her arms down by her side as soon as they were freed by she let them stay in the same position. Nina must have seen this because I saw one arm slowly being lifted and pushed down by her side, at the first movement of the arm the girl cried out again, this time not in lust but in agony. The muscles and the joints must have been stretched to their limit when we arrived and was no aching so badly that she couldn't move them. I understood that the same would apply to her legs and maybe even worse because they had been forced out so I loosened the chain around her left leg first, then I slowly massaged her hips, making the tension go away and the blood again flow. After a while I freed her other leg and massaged that too for a while and by now Nina had her arms down by her side. I saw that she flexed her hands to get some life back into them. "We have to search for the Machines," I suddenly heard Fritz voice by my ear. "Let the women take care of her." "Let's move her into another room first. That way if anyone comes down to check on her they may be fooled into believing that she has fled and will search outside first." With the help from all four of us we moved her to the room opposite and lay her on the floor and the women started to work on her. She lay almost at attention with her arms straight down by her side and her legs tightly pressed together. Fritz and I got our rucksacks and went on our search for the Machines. "Were do you think they could be hidden if they are not down here?" I asked. "I don't know. Let's have a look around." "Shall be split up or go together?" Fritz thought about that for so long that I was just about to ask the question again. "It has its advantages both ways. If we stay together we'll be safer but if we split up we'll be quicker. I think quicker wins. I don't like it here." "Me neither. Split we'll do then. I'll go outside and you can take the first floor, shall we meet in... what, ten minutes by the stairs?" "OK, ten minutes will get us enough time to look around. Don't do anything on your own." "That goes for you too." I walked around the building, which was a little closer to the back wall than to the front wall, to see if there was any shed or building that could hide the two Machines. We had to assume that Fritz Machine was here as well. The only other building I could see, besides the stables, was a chapel. I peeked inside it and saw that it was empty and let it at that. The ten minutes had passed and I went back to meet Fritz. I had to wait for him for a couple of minutes. He came down the big stairs and saw my rucksack and went up to me. "Nothing," he said laconically. "Nothing," I answered. "Can we really be that wrong?" "It seems so." "No sheds no nothing?" "No nothing, well there is a chapel... You don't think...? What better place to hide something from nosy monks than the chapel? It must be there!" "Yes! Lets go over there at once." "Wait. We have to get the women into safety first. It'll only take a couple of minutes," I almost begged. "Yes. Yes, sorry I got a little too exited." "No problem. I know how you feel. I want to get to the bastard too." We went down to the women and when we opened the door the girl looked at it with the sheerest fear in her eyes that I had ever seen in a human. "Sch, sch, it's OK," the women must have noticed it too because both of them talked a soothing voice at the same time. "It's only Fritz and Robert." "We're here to get you of here," I said as soothingly as I could. "Does she understand English?" "No. We have talked a little to her in French but she isn't very communicative." I thought that I knew her better than anyone else, I had after all fucked the poor girl, not poor girl because I had fucked her but because of what she had suffered, so I walked up to her. Her frightened eyes never let my rucksack out of her sight. I knelt down beside her. "It's OK. Everything is going to be OK. I am Robert," I said to her and took her hand in mine and mimiqued Jane's action when she introduced her to Tarzan, repeating "My name is Robert," as I laid her hand on my naked chest. She looked at me, my rucksack and tears welled up and overflow in her eyes. "Robear," she said in French. "Mon petit frere, pouvre Robear." I didn't get what she said but repeated the action and the words and this time Sabine translated the words for her. "Charlotte," she suddenly said. "I asked her what her name is," Sabine explained. "So Charlotte, do you want to get out of here or what?" I took her hand and drew her up on her feet. She winced a little as she stood on a little unsteady legs. "I wonder if she's strong enough to climb down the rope-ladder," I expressed my worry. "It is obvious that you are a lucky guesser when it comes to women," Nina said with a little giggle. "We manage more than you could ever imagine. We are after all designed to give birth." "Let's hope that you are right and get the three of you out of here." "I'm not going anywhere without you two," Sabine protested, I think Nina saw the logic in my proposal. "Robert's right, Sabine," Fritz calmly said. "The two of you must make sure that Charlotte get to the Machine safely. Maybe she can climb down but the walk will be hard after that and we don't have time to help you. We must get to the Machines." "Sorry. You're right. Let's go then." At first Charlotte's legs wobbled a little hither and dither but by the time we had reached the top of the stairs she walked almost naturally even if she winced a little at times. As we sneaked down the hall we pressed ourselves against the wall, now when we had Charlotte with us it was much harder to move as she was visible but we managed go over the courtyard and the stairs without detection, not that there were anyone to detect us. We paused for a while when we reached the rope-ladder to let Charlotte get her strength back. While we rested I turned her towards it, lit my flashlight quickly so she saw what was expected from her. She jumped as the light flashed and quickly made the sign of the cross and mumbled something but when I flashed the light again she saw what I meant for her to see and she nodded her head. Sabine asked her something and I could just see that she nodded her head in agreement. "I think she's as ready as she can be," Sabine said. "Off you go then. The strongest of you go first, I think that is Nina, and help her if she gets into trouble." I saw the rucksack climb over the wall and then I pushed Charlotte indicating to her to follow, she looked both frightened and determined when she climbed up on the wall and swung a leg out and stepped on the first rung and then she disappeared and was followed by Sabine. "Be careful," she whispered as she climbed down. We didn't wait to see how they managed but hurried over to the chapel. We got inside and walked down the aisle without any trouble. There was nothing suspicious about the chapel so far. "We have to look behind... What is it? The altar?" "Yes, I think it is a choir." "Well it is a room so let see what it hides." We went into the room and saw that there was a door on the other side of it. We opened that too and looked at the Machine! Not Fritz' though. Another. Different in every aspect. This one was a room inside the room. "Yes!" Fritz hissed. "We found it! We really found it." As he spoke he went up to it, found the door and opened it and disappeared inside. "Ours are better," I heard him decide. "This looks so... cruel. Nothing here that suggests that...," he quieted and I had to join him to see what he was talking about. I immediately saw what he meant when I stepped inside. This was a very primitive version of a Time Machine. Even more simple than the once we used as one-way-transporters. There was no chance in hell that this one could have traced down Fritz! "There has to be another," I said astonished. "There just has to be. This looks more like our onewayers." "Yes, unless... Maybe this is just a... You know, someone who is helping the real crook. Someone who actually is from this time and have been corrupted to help out." "Yes. I think you are right. Do we leave it as it is or what?" "I think so. Nobody knows what have happened here tonight. The girl, Charlotte, could have been helped by someone to escape, and we could keep this place under surveillance for a while and see if we can learn more." "OK, let's get out of here then. I want to take the women back as soon as possible." Soon thereafter we joined the women by the Machine. The waiting hadn't done Charlotte any good. She looked just as frightened as she had earlier and I really felt sorry for her. "I don't know what to do with her. She's crying all the time and she acts as if we were dangerous," Nina complained. "We've got to get her out of here," I said thinking fast. "Hi Charlotte," I said, addressing her directly for the first time. "Robear?" "Yes, it's me, Robert." This seemed to calm her a little and this gave me an idea. "Maybe I should come back and get her in my visible sate," I suggested. "Well, anything to get her to calm down would be good. But how you would be able to get her calm, visible or not is beyond me," Nina teased. "You just wait and see. Is this OK with you Fritz?" I asked and when he agreed and asked Sabine the same and she too agreed that it would be worth a try. I hurried into the Machine, went back, turned the switches necessary and was back in a few minutes. As I stepped out of the Machine again I suddenly realized that I had forgot to get dressed and was now standing in front of this young girl completely naked! If anything this sight made her look even more frightened. "It's OK Charlotte," I said. "Robear? Evou," she said, or something like that. "Yes, it is me, Robert," I repeated and I hadn't more than said this before I had my arms full of this naked, beautiful girl. "Oh Robear, Robear," she wept against my chest. "It's OK, everything's going to be all right," I whispered as I stroked her hair soothingly. "I think we missed something here," I said to the others. "I think we need a woman as well as me to really calm her down. Why don't you all go and change and come back for us?" I saw the rucksacks disappear into the Machine and I was left alone with Charlotte, not long enough for my liking though. It wasn't more than a minute before they came back and three nude people stepped out. Charlotte who had looked up as the 'whooshing' of the Machine was heard cried out, not in fear as much as in surprise at the sight of two naked women and a naked man. "We have to go home now," I said softly to her and led her by the hand inside the Machine and she entered it very hesitantly looking suspiciously around before she took another step. When we were inside the workshop and was getting dressed I gave her my shirt and helped her into it and it covered her enough to walk the distance home. I noticed that she looked suspiciously at the streetlights and the tartan paved street as we walked the short distance. Everyone made big eyes as they saw what we brought back with us and Charlotte again looked very scared, I think both at the surrounding as well as at the amount of people and she didn't calm down until she saw Adam. It was as if the sheer presence of the baby and me taking him in my arms made more to get her calm than anything we could have done. Yet we did insist that she should drink the large whisky that was presented to her. I together with Helga, whom she for any reason unknown had taken a liking to at once, led her into our bedroom and lay her down, patted her on the cheek, kissed her softly and closed her eyes and before I had turned around she was asleep. Of course we had to relate what had happened to all the wives but we couldn't answer their questions about why and how she had gotten into the situation in which we found her. Anita, Nina, Chris and Adam made temporary quarters in the livingroom and let Charlotte and me and Helga occupy the big bed by ourselves. We thought that if she was to wake up during the night she would be comforted by the presence of me and Helga. I heard her moan several times during the night and she was still fast asleep when Sabine came into the bedroom with two cups of coffee for Helga and me. "I'm warming some soup for Charlotte," she said in a half-whisper. "But I think we'll let her sleep till she wakes up." The words hadn't more than crossed her lips before Charlotte stirred, moaned and opened her eyes. She looked around, bewildered and again I saw the fear well up in her eyes. I softly stroked her cheek and Helga took her hand and slowly the fear disappeared but a worried look remained. She tried to sit up but with a moan she fell back onto the pillow. "I think we bought some liniment when we organized the first-aid box," Helga said. "I get it if you organize the soup," she added to Sabine. Both women were back soon and when Charlotte saw and smelled the soup her eyes lit up and I could see that she swallowed hungrily. Again she tried to sit up but again she fell down with a moan. I reached under her shoulders and held rose her slowly and held her in a half-sitting position while Sabine slowly fed her. The soup disappeared fast and she was looking for more and with a big smile Sabine got her seconds. "Mm, merci," Charlotte said when she finally was full. She looked curiously at my cup and sniffed the air a little and I held the cup to her mouth and she took a sip of the black brew and almost spat it out again. A shiver of disgust ran through her body and we all laughed at her. "Don't worry, soon you will not be able to live without it," Helga said. "Now lie down and let us get some of this stuff onto you." I let her down on the pillow and Helga drew the sheet off her and as soon as she realized that she was naked a blush spread all over her body but she endured it even if she lay a little stiffly on the bed. As soon as the bottle was opened the fear again appeared in her eyes. I took the bottle and poored a generous amount into the palm of my hand and smeared it over my arm. It stung a little but Charlotte seemed to calm down and let Helga work it onto her. She even sighed a little contentedly as Helga massaged her arms. "You can both help shaking loose her muscles while I work on her legs," Helga said to Sabine and me. Charlotte giggled a little and moaned a little at the feeling of us shaking her arms. Soon the front was done and we turned her over on her stomach and for the first time I had the opportunity to see her little butt. It was mouthwatering round and high. The small of her back was curved in a delightful curve and the back was thin and long, you could see that she was a rather strong girl because she had very finely defined muscles on her shoulders which weren't the usual round female shoulders, hers was more broad as a young man's but very attractive. She fell asleep again while Helga massaged her back and didn't even stir when she reached the two halfglobes of her ass. Silently we tip-toed out of the room, leaving the door open. The whole colony were seated around the kitchen table and looked expectantly at us when we entered. "She'll live," Helga declared. "She very tired and sore but I think she'll be up and about soon." It was well after noon before we heard some stirring in the bedroom and I went over to check and saw that she had managed to crawl up and sat leaning against the wall with the sheet held close around her upper body. "Goodmorning," I smiled. "Are you feeling better?" She looked at me as if she didn't understand a word, which she probably didn't. "Wait a minute I'll get you some clothes. I think you are about the same size as Chris." I turned my head and called for Chris and soon she stood by my side. "Can you lend Charlotte some clothes?" "Sure," she looked the girl over and went to the closet and came back with a t-shirt, a pair of silk undies, a pair of white socks and a pair of jeans. "Wouldn't it be better to let her take a shower first? She really stinks from that stuff you smeared on her last night." "I think what she needs first of all is food," I hadn't thought about the sanitary thing. "Maybe she can use the robe and after she's eat you can show her the facilities in the bathroom." "OK, dad. She went to the closet again and got the old robe. "Sorry, this is all we have," she smiled at Charlotte as she handed her the robe. "Come on," she said and held out her hand for Charlotte as soon as she got the robe on. As soon as we entered the kitchen there was made room for her and she started to sit down graciously but her mistreated muscles couldn't handle it and she just dumped down on the chair with a little moan. Helga immediately started grilling a big beef with french fried and a tomato- salad which soon stood in front of Charlotte and with an embarrassed smile she wolfed down the meal a glass of milk suddenly appeared in front of her and she drank it in big gulps. I don't think it took her more than ten minutes to get it all down. After the meal she started to look around at the people around the table and Helga made the introductions, pointing out the person as she said the name and Charlotte smiled a shy smile and repeated the name to each. The last to be introduced to her was Adam who lay in Nina's lap and played with his fingers. She smiled a wide smile at him and repeated his name and smiled again as if she knew something we didn't know. "Come," I said to Charlotte and helped her up from the chair. "You can't sit on this hard chair, let's sit on the couch instead." I led her into the livingroom and placed her on the couch and Helga was there with a cushion and put it down so her lower back rested against it. "Merci," she mumbled and smiled her smile in gratitude. She sat there and looked curiously around. I could clearly see that there were a lot of things which didn't was. The TV she looked at for a long time and her eyes lit up when they fell on the bookshelf. We all behaved as we usually do when we sit together, that is the women talking and Fritz and me listening and answering direct questions and once in a while we were dragged into some lighthearted dispute. Charlotte seemed to enjoy the whole thing and she smiled happily when there was an outburst of discussion and her eyes shone when everyone engaged in it shortly thereafter again were the best of friends. "I think it's been long enough since she ate so you can help her to the bathroom now," I told Chris who immediately stood and gestured for Charlotte to come with her. I saw the difficulty she had by getting up so I helped her and supported her to the bathroom were I left them alone. Soon I heard a shriek and then a happy laughter. They stayed in the bathroom for ages but finally I heard Chris call for me. "Daddy! Can you help me!" I rushed to the bathroom fearing the worst but when I saw Charlotte shining pink by the scrubbing Chris later informed me she had given her. She had a towel wrapped around her and she shyly lowered her eyes as she saw me looking at her without being able to hide the lust I felt for her. "I even helped her wash her pussy," she blushed a little as she said that. "But I had to pee first before she understood what to do in it. The poor girl must have had a bladder that was on the verge of exploding!" I helped them into the bedroom and sat her at the edge of the bed and Chris got the clothes she had picked out earlier and handed them to Charlotte who looked at the stuff as if she had never seen clothes before. "Wait, I'll help you." First she undid the towel and blushing Charlotte sat naked on the bed. I did nothing to hide the fact that I was looking at her and she did nothing to hide herself from my eyes. Chris started with the socks and Charlotte watched her with big eyes and when she drew the flimsy panties up over her smooth legs she blushed a little but lifted obediently on her butt when Chris motioned for her to do it. Next the t-shirt was drawn over her head and she giggled a little embarrassed when she looked down and saw that her nipples were very clearly seen poking at the material. The jeans was a little harder to get onto her but with my help and a little struggle they too was on her. "Help me get her up," Chris said and with the help of the both of us Charlotte soon stood on a little wobbly legs. Chris led her to a full length mirror and showed her how she looked. She laughed a little at her appearance, lifted her feet a little and looked at the socks, stroked her hand over the soft material in the t-shirt and even cupped her high breasts a little and with a wondering smile she examined the jeans. She slowly tuned and tried to look over her shoulder but her muscles were too sore for that. "Wait," Chris said, disappeared and came back with the mirror from the bathroom. She held it at strategic point at Charlotte's back letting her see herself from every angle and she looked pleased when she had seen it all and smiled at Chris and almost curtseyed at her. Chris stopped her stepped over and gave her a hug. From then on there were three people that she trusted. Four with Adam because she could hardly keep her eyes off him when she was presented to him and when Nina gave him to her to hold the whole of her shone with such delights that I could feel a lump in my throat. "We must teach her English," Nina said, the teacher for ever. "I would have done so if I hadn't been in the searchgroup. I think the best to teach her will be Chris she is the one of us who have studied the latest, and Helga can supervise and help. It seems as if Charlotte," Charlotte looked up as she heard her name. "It seems that Charlotte is both a little shy and afraid so we will keep the number of people she interact with at a minimum for the time." It was agreed and Nina already was in full swing giving Chris instructions when Fritz motioned for me to follow him out. "I think we really should consider getting another man into our group," he said with a little worry in his voice when we were alone. "I don't say that the women can't take care of themselves but a man have another outlook to danger, I think we feel it when it is coming and act immediately. Women tend to wait for it to happen and then take action." "Yes, maybe you are right, do you have anyone particular in mind?" "No, I thought that maybe Tommy could... I met him at your wedding and he seems to be a young man with - not authority - integrity I think I would say. He wont be influenced by the women and I think we could get him too be alert." "Mmm. Let me think about it for a while. We have to make sure that Charlotte is settling in and maybe get her to tell her story. There could be some clues in that, we are emptyhanded." "OK, anyway we need to teach one of the women to handle the other Machine, and maybe we really ought to get some real weapons. I'm feeling very uncomfortable about the whole situation. And we need a bigger place unless we want to spit the group and have half of us to move into another place, for survival that would be the best option but for safety I think that would be wrong." "Yes, we need someplace bigger tan this one, it's starting to get crowded fifteen persons in a house meant for four... Should we get Tommy to come and help that would add another two... I think we may need his services but I think it is a bit too soon. We need someone who can accompany the women in their search for a bigger place. "I thought for a while and realized that I didn't know that many people. I had apparently been a loner without even realizing it. Then it hit me. Kevin. Maybe I could talk to him, he was sensible enough to quit his thievery and regret it bitterly since it may well have spoiled his future. Maybe he would be willing to try out a new start. Chapter 23 "My name is Charlotte de Rossan, I am the granddaughter of Monsieur Joannis de Nocheres and raised by him together with my brother Robert," at this she flashed me a smile, "who is a little more than a year younger than me. My father and mother died in a shipwreck when I was five years old. My grandfather owned a fortune of five to six hundred thousand livres. When I was at the age of thirteen--that is to say, in 1649 my grandfather lost his fortune by means of a man named Phillipe Perette for no other reason than revenge. He had asked my grandfather to let him have me as his wife..." "But... But you were only thirteen!" Christ blurted choked. Charlotte gave her a weak smile. "Oh, thirteen isn't... wasn't that early then. You were only a child for your first six or seven years, after that you had to help out to support the family. Anyway. My grandfather rejected the offer vehemently and Monsieur Perette swore that he would get back on my family. I don't know how he did it but only six months later my grandfather had lost everything he owned and we had to move into a small place with only one room and a kitchen. My grandfather slept in the kitchen and my brother and me were given the room to sleep in. Late one evening there was a knock on the door and when my grandfather opened it just a little to see who it was the door was kicked in so hard that grandfather fell backwards and hit his head on the hearse and I think he died immediately. I rushed over to him, both my brother and I were standing in the door to our room to see who it was that came at this time of the night, and when I knelt down beside him I could see blood running from his head and he wasn't breathing. I had not time to fully comprehend this because two of the men rushed over to me, threw a sack over my head and threw the sack they gagged me. I could hear how they attacked my brother in the same way though and I heard him scream and after that I know nothing of his destiny. I don't know much more of anything that happened but that I must have either fainted or sedated in some way because the next thing I know I am locked in in a cell. Still dressed in nothing but my nightgown. I lay there, chained to the wall, alone for many days and I saw no one during all this time. Once in a while someone threw a piece of bread and maybe a piece of meat into the cell, every morning there was a pot of water just inside the door. The worst thing was not being able to wash properly and my white nightgown wasn't all that white for long," again a weak smile without humor played rapidly her lips. "Then suddenly one day I heard footsteps, door was unlocked and there stood my abductor, monsieur Perette. He laughed when he saw what state I was in. 'Wash her,' he ordered the two men that escorted him. I tried to get away from them but the chain wasn't long and they soon had me cornered. They tore the gown off me and left me naked in front of Perette while they left and soon came back with a bucket of water each. They ordered me to stand and when I refused they said that I could choose between being tied to the wall and forced or do it voluntarily. Left with no choice I did as they said and without any ceremony they threw the water on me, one after the other. 'So my dear,' he said scornfully, 'have you changed your mind?' 'Never!' I cried. "He smiled a spiteful smile and just turned on his heels. After that he came down every day and asked the same question. Every time he had me stand in front of him, naked and his eyes looked at me in a way that made me feel sick. Every day they poured water over me and since the nights were cold and I had nothing to cover myself with I soon got a nasty cold and a fever. This didn't stop however. Everyday was the same, till one day. They came down as usual but instead of asking me if I had changed my mind he told me that it now was too late for me to change it because he had found himself another girl who were willing to marry him. I can't for my life begin to understand why he thought that he could force anyone into a marriage. His two thugs freed me from my chain and drew me into the room were you found me. At first it was nice to be in a warm room, my cold got cured by the warmth, and at the beginning the rack didn't spread me at all. I just lay there feeling bored, but as time passed the stretching got worse and I don't think I could have lasted much longer when you came and freed me. Well that is my story." I glanced around the quiet room. Fritz had his jaws so tightly shut that you actually could see the muscles in his jaw stand out, a couple of the women had tears in their eyes and the other faces were either white or red with anger. I could feel myself shake a little while the anger raged through my body. We had to stop this brute. I looked over at Fritz to tell him my thought but when he saw me look at him he nodded his head in agreement almost as if he had read my thought. "I couldn't read your mind but I could read your face and I agree totally. He must be stopped." It had gone almost two weeks since we found Charlotte and brought her home with us. She had recovered surprisingly fast and after consulting Helga it was decided that she should be left in the care of Chris and her at Chris place and learn English. I took them there and while I was in my own time I took the opportunity to look up Kevin. He wasn't at home when I called upon him so I left a message to him with his parents, who I had learned to know while I was his counselor, that he should call on Helga at Chris' address. I learned from them that he was out of work and had difficulty in finding one besides the usual cleaning or messenger stuff that was left for the outcast of society. Helga had instructions to set up a date with him when I could meet with him and since I was to call in every day at a certain time it would be easy. Meanwhile Fritz was to keep the monastery under surveillance and especially be watching for the coach we had seen when we were there last. There was something mysterious about it. I on the other hand was again house hunting this time I had the minibus we had bought when Fritz and his family had joined us, stuffed with women and baskets of food. They took it as an opportunity to celebrate that they for a change was allowed out of the house. We had all agreed that they should stay close to it as long as we didn't know what danger there was waiting for us. It took us a week driving in wider and wider circles from our Home before we came to an estate agent who had something that could suit us. He took us to a relatively newly renovated mansion-like two-storey house with a big site. I had told him in confidence that we were all members of a new sect and was looking for a place to live because we had expanded to much. When he saw all the women accompanying me he believed it. In his mind no normal man could attract that many beautiful women just by his charms and looks. The house was perfect even if the price was a little too high, I think the agent saw his chance to up the price a bit since we couldn't afford to be too choosy. It would cut a fair bit out of my family's fortune but not so much that it wouldn't be remedied fairly quick. Fritz' financial statues I didn't know but none of his wives even flicked an eye when the price was mentioned so I took it that it would be in order. The agent was told that we would have to think about it for a couple of days and that we should let him know as soon as possible. It was funny but none talked about how the house should be furnished but was more concerned about the security issues. This was the first time I had noticed any of them show concern about our situation. They discussed the pros and cons in great length and as it turned out the objections were also the advantages. Namely that the house lay almost in the middle of a big plain and the wind should be blowing constantly, this was also an advantage because no one could approach without us seeing them well in advance. There would also be ample space for surveillance cameras and various traps. But we were shorthanded. We really needed more people. All I could hope for was that Kevis should turn out to be what I hoped for. When I came back to Chris' flat that evening I was greeted by all the three women. Somehow they all seemed a little more aggravated then they had been on my previous visits but I put it down to the fact that they had been on their own the whole day. "The young man came to call on you earlier," Helga announced. "I made an appointment with him the day after tomorrow." "Good. What do you think of him?" "Well, I don't know him so I am not willing to give an opinion about him. "I'll leave that to you," she said a little defensively. I didn't think more about this because Chris came over to me and sat in my lap. "Daddy," she said in a faked little-girl voice. "Yes, darling?" "There is something I have to ask you. A favor." "It's yours if I can..." "Good!" she interrupted me. She turned to Helga and Charlotte. "See I told you so! He'll do it!" Warninglight flashed all around my brain by this. "Hold on. I don't know what the favor is yet," I protested. "Oh, it really is nothing much. All I, we, want is for you is that you get naked." "What!?" "Yes, you see we have been teaching Charlie all about the female anatomy," she put her mouth close to my ear and whisper, loud enough for Helga and Charlotte to hear, "and we had such fun! Now she just must learn all about the male anatomy as well." "Just how did you teach her?" I asked fearing the worst. "Well, show and tell of course. You wouldn't believe what a nice, well you know, pussy, Helga has. I have never seen one..." "Chris!" Helga burst out, blushing a little. "But it is nice, isn't it Charlie?" "Ah, mais oui, very... attractive." "Charlie?" I asked. "Yes, monsieur?" She even listened to the name now. I began to wonder if it had been such a wise decision to let Chris be in charge of her education. "No. I mean... I didn't call for you... I just... Well I was surprised that you let her do this to you. Charlotte is such a nice name," I finished lamely. "Do you really like it? Charlie I mean." "Oh yes, monsieur." "Quit calling me monsieur, I'm Robert, remember?" "Oh yeees Robeert," she said in an insinuative tone of voice and now I was sure that it had been a bad idea to let Chris be in charge. "Daddy, stop it, will you. We all know how you used the poor child..." "I did nothing of the sort!" I protested. "Nina told me to." I heard myself how ridiculous it sounded and stopped talking before I got myself into trouble. "OK, I'll do it then," I agreed to get out of this rather embarrassing situation. Besides, it could be fun to participate in such an endeavor, I remembered that when I was young I had a fantasy which was a little like this about Anita and me exploring each other like that. Many loads had been shot into a handkerchief or piece of tissue at this fantasy. "Good, lets go into the bedroom then." I followed Chris and the other two towed behind us but at the door I let them enter before me. I noticed that the bed was gone and instead there lay a couple of mattresses on the floor, nicely made with sheet and blankets. I started to get undressed at Chris' unspoken request. "I don't think it is nice to only have your husband naked," Helga said as soon as I had my shirt off and started to unbutton her shirt and the two young girls followed suit. Charlie without even blushing! Soon the four of us stood naked in front of each other and my eyes almost crossed as I tried to look at all three of them at the same time. Chris and Charlotte I had seen before, well I had seen Helga nude too before, but not in this circumstance and allowed to have a direct look and I took the opportunity. She was a statuesque woman, not in the way that she was big. She wasn't bigger than any of the other women but her pose was so proud and her shoulders were absolutely the widest I had ever seen on a woman, her breast stood straight out and were crowned, really crowned, with to large, absolutely round, dark pink aureoles and the nipples were like two buttons rising only a couple of millimeters over the surrounding flesh. The stomach was so flat that it came almost as a surprise when the high mound on her cunt suddenly rose, covered with dark, hair as often is the case in blondes. The hair was curly and had naturally defined edges so it formed a perfect triangle letting her lips show almost laying on the soft thighs that continued down for a very long time in a spool form. I looked at her face and saw that she had two roses on her cheeks, not by shyness more out of eagerness. "You may have guessed that what we want isn't really an anatomy lesson," Chris giggled when we were naked. "Well, Charlie here is very curious about fucking. She has experienced one fuck but the circumstances were such that she don't really remember it too well, so Helga and I volunteered to demonstrate it to her. We tried it on each other first, then on her and even if it was very pleasant for all of us there was something lacking something you brought with you I see." She looked demonstratively down on my hardening cock. "I think Helga is the one to help you demonstrate," Chris giggled, "but first..." She stepped up to me and crept into my arms, pressed her slim body against mine and lifted her lips for me to kiss. After the kiss she pushed me towards Charlotte who a little shyly came into my arms and gave me a kiss that made the hair all over my body stand at ends. Then Helga came and repeated what the two girls had done adding to that she slowly sank down on the mattresses, drawing me down with her. I landed strategically between her thighs and she rolled us over, drew up her knees so they rested on level with my midriff, bent her pelvis and caught my cock with her pussy and before I had time to think she had the whole bulbous head inside her. I heard the girls sigh when my prick just slink into the warm wetness. They sat at the foot of the mattress and had a perfect view of Helga's taut ass and hairy cuntlips. With a sigh, deeper than the girl's she sank down a little more on my cock and once it had been halfway inside her she started to rock her hips up and down, back and forth, sighing all the time. Then she held her breath, shuddered, moaned and I could feel that the muscles in her cuntal canal were just as strong as those on her body when they squeezed my cock, from the entrance and along my shaft up along it and just in front of the tip of the helm they closed down. This was the first time in my life I had gotten a full cock massage by a cunt. It was delicious. It made me moan. It made Helga giggle happily. It made the girls sigh again. The whole thing repeated itself at regular intervals of about five minutes. All the women seemed to either had from the beginning or after taking a trip in the Machine acquired multi orgasm capability. I couldn't take more than twenty minutes of this delightful torture and when it again was time for Helga to have an orgasm I joined her and her happy sigh increased into a moan and she fell panting forward on me kissing my neck, nibbling my ear and rubbing her cheek against mine and after a while she rolled off me and with her legs spread so the girls could look at her spermfilled cunt she lay beside me with a content smile playing her lips. Chris nudged Charlotte to lay on top of me. Blushing delightfully she did as Chris asked and lay full bodylength on top of me and even with her head resting on my chest her pussy lay straight on my prick which hadn't soften but still stood just as proudly as when I started to fuck Helga. I thanked the Time Machine for my stamina, potency and hornynes. I had no doubt that I would be able to satisfy all three women, I had after all done it before, many times. Chris must have grown impatient because suddenly I could feel her hand around my cock. She drew it a couple of times along the Charlotte's slit, pressed it down a little and when she did I could feel two of her fingers holding Charlotte open for me. With a soft cry Charlotte accepted the tip of my cock inside her. As soon as Helga heard the cry she sat up and looked down between the spread legs but when she saw that it was just the tip of my cock that was inside the tight pussy she patted Charlotte on the butt, kissed her on the cheek and lay down again. When Charlotte did nothing to indicate that she was going to fuck me I took hold of her hips, raised them a little so my cock could slip a little bit further in and again I was rewarded with the soft cry. After that I held her hips high in the air and pumped my cock out and in with variations in speed and depth but no matter how fast or how deep I penetrated her, every time my cock was on its inward thrust she cried out her soft cry. "You must move your hips, Charlie," Chris said softly. "It'll be much, much nicer if you too move." "I-ai-c-ai-an't-ai-ai-it-ai-is tooo-aoh-ni-ai-ce!" All three of us laughed and she buried her face on my chest in delighted shamefulness and her 'ais' were a little muffled but not less audible. She had a quick trigger and her cries came in one long wail as her first orgasm rippled through her pussy. She couldn't take more than one more orgasm before she rolled of me, panting heavily. "Already done?" Chris asked surprised. Charlotte just nodded her agreement. "She's not used to it yet," Helga sniggered. "Just wait till she gets used then she'll keep fucking for the whole night!" Again Charlotte blushed but she smiled thinking of pleasures that lay ahead. After Chris had had her ways with me we lay and talked for a while before it was time for me to head back home. The next day I went with Fritz and Nina to the monastery. The day before they had seen the coach again and they both thought that it should be something to investigate a bit further. While Fritz kept an eye on the monastery Nina and I took the van and drove it slowly, ready to pull into the woods if we should meet someone, down the road from which it came. We drove for about five kilometers before the forest thinned and ended. We hid the van and walked another five kilometers before we spotted a small town. We went up to it and saw that it was big enough to have street signs. We didn't enter it but returned to Fritz to tell him what we had found. We spent the day watching and talking, making plans to how we should be able to follow the coach but couldn't think of something so we let it at that for the time being. The following day I went and met with Kevin. He seemed pleased to see me and even asked me if I had picked any locks lately and I asked him the same and even if he denied it I got the feeling that he had and I was very disappointed. I had hoped that I should be able to draft him to the group but decided against it. We talked for a while and when he asked me what I wanted to talk about I just said that I should be going away for a long time and just wanted to say hello and see how he was. Soon thereafter he said good bye and left. There was only one thing to do, try to get Tommy and Irene to join us so I headed to them the next thing I did. They were both happy to see me and thanked me again for the wonderful time in Bern. I told them both why I had come, I hid nothing from them. Tommy looked thoughtful and Irene looked a little worried. Tommy asked if they could think about it for a while and when I asked for how long they said an hour would be enough, basically they just needed to talk about it. I spent the hour in my old hometown. This could very well be the last time I spent here and I wanted to see it once again. After the hour had passed and I was walking back to Tommy and Irene I realized that I would'nt miss it. I had outgrown it. Tommy opened the door as soon as I rang the bell as if he had been standing in front of it just waiting for me but as he was a little out of breath I concluded that he had rushed to it. "Well?" I asked as we sat facing each other. "Yes. We would love to come and live with you," Irene said, "and share everything with you, that is if it is possible," she added a little shyly. "It will be a little difficult at the beginning, the house is crouded as it is but we are about to move and there will be enough space in that house enough for a big bedroom," I promised. It was agreed that I should pick them up as soon as the Tommy had given his notice, Irene had already quit her job due to her seven month pregnancy, and worked the time his boss demanded. Saddened I told Fritz about Kevin when I saw him. "Well, that leaves us with Tommy and Irene then. I would have thought that you should have picked them first." "Yes. I see now that I should have but I think that my social conscience got the better of me. I'll go and see them tomorrow, maybe I should bring Anita on this expedition if your wives will be looking after Adam." "Oh, I can promise that without even asking them. I'll tell them tonight." "And we must go and look at the other place as soon as possible. We can send Tommy and Anita to be lookouts while we decide about the place." I smiled as I said this I was sure that they would both appreciate a whole day by themselves. Fritz smiled at this because we didn't have any secrets, at least the women didn't have any secrets and what they knew seep sooner or later down to us men. The next day I went and fetched Tommy and Irene and did a detour to Chris' and the other women just to see that everything was OK at their end. Charlotte made great progress and would be able to come back to us in time for the move. Fritz and I filled Tommy and Anita in on what they had to do and watch out for. I delivered them to there watch out post and proceeded with the house buying. Chapter 24 A couple of weeks had passed since we bought the new house and we were settled. The only one opting for her own room was Chris who hadn't given up the thought that she should be able to get back to school someday and she had insisted that Charlotte too should be given her own room. Where Chris had posters and stuff on the walls in her room Charlotte's was Spartan in it decoration. No pictures on the walls, no books in the bookcase and hardly any clothes in her wardrobe. "Dad," Chris came up to me one day shortly after our move. "We need to talk." "OK. What about?" "Charlie." "What about her?" "She's only fifteen and she acts as if she's a hundred at least. I want to take her shopping. New clothes, a CD-player and a whole bunch of CD:s. A little make-up, not that she needs any, but every girl likes to experiment with make-up. Get her a poster or two. You know, stuff." I didn't think about this for long. "Tell you what. Fritz and I have to go into town this week and we can as well do that tomorrow so why don't the two of you come with us? We can have a nice dinner afterwards and make a day out of it." "Great!" she gave me a hug and rushed off to tell Charlotte the good news. Fritz and I had made a list of everything we needed and if we went into town a day or two earlier than we had planned didn't matter. We had already founded the poles for the surveillance cameras and searchlights Fritz had been in the future and got some very sophisticated security locks and would be handing the rest of the work to Tommy while Fritz and I took turns to watch the monastery. The next day one very excited girl and one not so excited rode into town with us. Charlotte really didn't have a clue to what they were about to do even if Chris had tried to explain it to her in great details to all our amusement. Finally Charlotte had gotten angry and stormed up to her room, there was no slamming of doors though even if I thought that it would have done her good to do so. When we left the two girls outside the biggest mall in the city I could see that Charlotte was almost white by fright and Chris had to hold her hand. I watched as they went inside and then Fritz and I were off to do our business. We had arranged to meet the girls just after two o'clock to have lunch and if they were done with their shopping go back home. At the agreed time we stood in front of the restaurant and waited and waited I started to get worried and Fritz started to pace back and forth. Almost an hour later they came running as good as they could for all the parcels they were carrying. "Sorry we're late," Chris panted. "But I couldn't get Charlie out of the bookshop and the music shop was just as bad. I bought her a very nice CD- player, we just have to pick it up before we leave." I don't know why but I got the impression that the we she was talking about meant 'Daddy'. I was however so relieved that they were safe and sound that I didn't protest. "So, Charlie," I said when we sat waiting for our order, "did you have fun?" "Oh yes. Very," she smiled excitedly. "Did you buy anything you like?" "Oh yes, look," she bent down to one of the bags but I had to stop her. "Wait, wait. You must show me all when we get home." I heard Fritz chuckle at her eagerness and I to had to smile. The girls both chatted away happily during the meal and all the way home and it was relief when we finally pulled up in front of the house where they bumbled inside loaded with all the parcels. I heard how they shouted hello and then they disappeared upstairs. When we entered the house after unloading the car we found the ground floor deserted but from upstairs we heard all the women chatter and understood that Chris and Charlotte were showing their prey. "Who's taking the night watch?" I asked Fritz when we sat in the livingroom sipping a cup of coffee. "I haven't really thought of it, we have to make up a schedule, four hour watches in pairs and as long as we are pursuing this matter day and night. It wont be that difficult to make it rotate." "We are sixteen grownups, I count in Charlotte, four of us are more or less busy with the monastery, that leaves twelve, three shifts during the night will occupy six and that leaves six for the daily chores. Maybe we should have two in charge of the daily doings and then divide the watch on the rest. You and I can chop in once in a while." "Yes, that sounds good. We'll let the women decide who does what and make a list." We had finished our coffee and went outside and started to work on the security system. At supper we told the women what we had thought of and they agreed that was something that needed to be done and we left it to them to sort things out. "Daddy," Chris asked as soon as everyone was busy and she had volunteered that she was fine with anything the others decided. "Yes, dear." "Can you help me with the CD in Charlie's room?" "Of course, when?" "As soon as possible. She's dying for it but don't want to impose on your work..." "OK, let's get it done now then." I followed her up to Charlotte's room. She stood in the middle of the room looking at herself in a mirror when we entered and swirled around as we entered. She had a short skirt and a blouse on. The skirt swirled up and showed her panties giving me a short glimpse of her thighs but fell down on it's proper place all to soon. "Oh, hi Robert," she said breathlessly and walked over to me stood on tip toes and kissed my cheek. "Why thank you," I said. "What was that for?" "All of this. Everything," she smiled. "Everything," she said again. "So you are happy, are you. I mean living here and all." "Dad, you can talk and walk at the same time. We need some music!" I assembled the parts to the CD-player and the only problem with it the placement of the loudspeakers but that was soon solved and Charlotte put a CD on. Chris Isac! I silently groaned but Charlotte smiled happily so I didn't say anything. I saw that there was a whole stack of CDs and I just hoped that there would be something else in that stack. "Why don't you show Daddy the thing you bought," Chris suggested and I was about to excuse myself and flee the room but again the sight of Charlotte's happy smile stopped me and I sat down on her bed. Charlotte dived into the walk-in-closet and I could hear some rustling and she came out in a dress that looked great on her and I said so and she blushed a delighted blush and after that the show continued for what seemed to be a long time but it couldn't have lasted that long because just as she said that it was all the Chris Isac CD ended and Chris put on Backstreet Boys and this time I groaned loud. It was going from bad to worse. "You must educate Charlotte," I said a little annoyed to Chris. "I know, I know, but you can't expect her to listen to what are their name, Schönberg or something, or Weil or well anyone. She must learn to listen to music first. Get used to it. She's fifteen for heavens sake!" Chris burst out. "Sorry. I was a bit of a dad, wasn't I?" "Yes, you was." I almost corrected her when I saw that she had a challenging glint in her eyes so I just shrugged my shoulders and Chris walked over to me and sat on my lap and gave me a deep, promising kiss. "Why don't you show Dad the rest of your clothes, wait I'll help you." They disappeared into the closet and I heard a little giggle from Chris just before Charlotte a little tentatively stepped out into the room clad only in a pair of cotton panties. Chris followed her and looked over at me and smiled a little knowing smile when she saw my eyes bulge out at a sight I still hadn't got used to, Charlotte nude or seminude! Chris cupped uncovered breasts. "We didn't by any bras," she said and withdrew her hands, I think she must have given her nipples a tweak because when she again revealed them to my eyes they stood full and proudly straight out from her aureoles. "Charlie's breasts are too beautiful to be hidden, don't you think?" "Oh yes," I whispered and again Charlotte blushed the delighted little blush. "We bought six pairs of them. They are very practical." I just swallowed in anticipation, expecting to see Charlotte model them all. "So we wont show you the rest," Chris continued. "Have you seen one pair, you've seen them all. Can you manage by yourself now?" she asked Charlotte as she walked over to me and again sat on my lap and after a while she again kissed me with the same promise as before and I enjoyed the kiss till I heard Charlotte cough and then I tore my lips free and looked up to see what she wanted and my mouth fell open. It stayed open until I realized that I must be looking like a drooling idiot and I shut it. The pair of undies she was wearing was in a smoky gray shade of color and the silk was so sheer that if they had been design to hide anything they certainly had misunderstood their purpose totally. Instead they enhanced the shape of the high pussy mound and the shape of the, almost, coiffure of the hair on it. Chris giggled as she felt my cock expand another notch from the one she had made it expand. "You like?" Charlotte asked sugarly. "Yes! Oh yes." She giggled happily and twirled around giving me a view of her hard asscheeks covered in the sheer material. This sight did nothing to calm my erection. On the contrary! Oh to have those firm globes pressed against your lower stomach and your cock hidden in the soft recess of the wet cunt below and between them! Chris squirmed in my lap, rubbing her soft ass against my hardon and I could feel that the place on my thigh that my cock rested on, cramped, was getting wet by the precum. She turned her face to Charlotte and nodded her head and Charlotte again disappeared into the closet and the next time she entered she was dressed in the best yet. Nothing! Chris stood and reached her hand out for Charlotte and steared her down on my lap. "Daddy," she said demanding. "Daddy, don't you think it is time to formalize your relationship with Charlie?" "Wha-what do you mean?" I asked against better knowledge. "She's in love with you and you are so obviously smitten with her that both Mom and Nina are just waiting for you to ask Charlie into our bed. She can't live by herself up here. She could develop a trauma!" "Trauma?" "Well, a phobia then." "Phobia?" "You know very well what I mean," she was starting to get a little annoyed. "No, dear, I really don't. How can anyone, under safe circumstances, among people that love her, tend for her, care for her, buy clothes and stuff for her, develop a phobia?" "Stop it! "ill you ask her?" "No." "No?" she couldn't believe what she heard and Charlotte suddenly sobbed. "No, I can't. I must do it in front of the others! Together with the others. Don't you see? I can't just expect them to... I just can't do whatever I want. As much as I love Charlotte I just can't do it behind your mother's and Nina's backs. "They know, daddy." "Have you told them?" "Daddy, it is obvious that you don't know anything about us women." "Oh if only you knew what I know about women," I said in an indulgencly tone of voice. "So? What is that?" she asked with real curiosity. "Nothing, absolutely nothing," I had to confess confronted. This made her laugh and realize that I was pulling her leg and she told Charlotte so, comforting her as she had started to cry softly not hiding her tear stricken face from me. I kissed her tears away. "It's OK. I love you, sweetheart, for as long as you want and even after that. I'll ask you to be my wife as soon as... Shit! I must go and get your mother and Tommy!" I exclaimed as I realized that the time had just flown away. "Don't you go anywhere," I said to Charlotte. "And you young lady, I'll deal with you later," I said in a menacing voice at which Chris laughed gaily. "Promises, promises," and she stuck her tongue out at me. I told Fritz that I was off to get Anita and Tommy. I got there just as the sun was setting and I was led to the place were they were by the shimmering telltales of sperm confined in a cunt. "So," I said as soon as I was close to it. "Have you had time to look out as well?" Anita giggled and Tommy hummed a little embarrassed. "Oh, hi darling. It's lovely here, isn't it?" she crept close to me. "And that machine of yours is lethal! Well, it is at least a hazard to your health, if you are a man that is." I reached for her and drew her into my arms and gave her a light kiss. "Time to go home, children." Later that night when we were alone in our bedroom I told my wives about Charlotte. Of course it was as Chris had said. They were aware of my feelings as well as hers and I was sent up to Charlotte to ask her to join us. A little shyly, but with a happy smile on her face she met my wives with me holding her hand. There was no big fuss about it but she got kissed by all the women and that was that. They however insisted that Charlotte should have first go at my service. She did and all but Anita insisted on getting some action too. Happily I fell asleep between Nina and Charlotte, Chris slept as she mostly did beside her mother. We got all the security stuff in place and had a timetable in place for watching the monitors and we were ready to go into action against our enemy. The first thing we did was to get all information we had in order. Chris wrote it down on the computer and made a list, it wasn't very long. We knew that there was a Time Machine in the monastery, but not were it lead to. We knew that there were prisoners in the monastery. A coach came at odd intervals. That was about all. We needed more information. We needed to know if the boss of the monastery was the one that had kidnapped Charlotte before we took any action against him. It was decided that I and Fritz should take Charlotte and go and have a look at the abbe. We explained to Charlotte what we wanted to do and asked her if she was willing. She almost jumped at the opportunity to get back on the man and willingly agreed. We wasted no time. Just after sunrise we arrived at the now familiar spot a short distance inside the woods and made our way to the monastery and when the gate opened we just walked inside and up to the stairs. Inside we took the stairs that led up instead of the stairs to the cells. Carefully we looked inside every door we saw. Nothing on the second floor so we made it up to the third floor. Here we were in luck. When we opened a door we saw a man sitting behind a sturdy desk, according to the color and texture of the wood I guessed it was made out of oak tree. As I held Charlotte's hand in mine just to know were she was I could easily whisper my question to her. "Is that the man?" "No, I've never seen him before!" This was a drawback. I had been certain that whoever we were looking for should be in the monastery. I found Fritz and indicated to him that we should leave. Safe outside the room I told him the news. We had a quick deliberation and decided that we could as well leave and not risking anything that could reveal that we had been there. We went back to the Machine and sat down a while before we should go back when we heard the sound of horses and wheels on the road. It was the coach we had seen earlier. "If we only could follow it back to were it came from," I sighed. "Why can't we?" Charlotte asked. "Well, first of all we don't have any horses and no cart and none of us speaks... French! You do speak French! Do you think that you could by us a pair of horses and a coach?" "Of course," she stated flatly. I almost pushed her inside the Machine and told Fritz to hurry. I heard him chuckle at my eagerness as he climbed in after Charlotte. Back home Charlotte explained what was needed to get us in disguise, a black satin mantle in which no feature could be distinguished, it was common at the time that upper classes dressed like this. Further we needed some purses with an acceptable amount of money, or gems to pay the for the horses and carriage and that would be all. It seemed as if it was a simple time to live in, if you were rich, Charlotte added having seen both sides of the social divide. At first we thought that we should make the mantels ourselves but Irene told us that there was a very well assorted costume rental in town and we went there and found what we were looking for, they even had shoes that looked like the shoes of the time. To be on the safe side we took Nina and Sabine to the outskirts of the town, invisible before Fritz, I and Charlotte made our way into the city. We soon found the stable and Charlotte purchased two horses that to my eye were just that. All I knew about horses was that they had hoofs but that they were as big as these I had no idea. Luckily the stable owner put them in front of the carriage and tied them in, harness I think they call it and Charlotte opened the door for me and Fritz and sat herself on the coachman's seat, clicked and the horses pulled and we were on our way but stopped as soon as we were by the last house of the town and waited for Nina and Sabine. Soon the door opened and the coach rocked when the climbed in and soon I had a giggling woman in my lap and by the state of Fritz' mantle I understood that he too had one in his lap. A brazen hand fumbled over my crotch, found what it searched and with a swift move had my cock out in the fresh air, a few movements of the hand up and down the shaft and it was at its fullest, a little shuffling and it was surrounded by wetness. "Go, driver," Sabine who sat on my cock, shouted up to Charlotte and the coach started to rock down the road. "Goody," she moaned, "I can just sit hear and the coach does all the work!" Unfortunately she was wrong. It wasn't more than five minutes later that I could feel the coach lurched and understood that we were back in the forest. All we had to do now was wait for the other coach to come by on its way back to were it came from. The coach rocked quit vigorously while the passengers satisfied themselves and when it happened horse cries from us men mixed with the shriller cries from the women and after a while all movements and sounds, except for the heavy breathings was all that revealed that there were more than two people inside the carriage. When everything was quiet we could hear Charlotte climb down. "Robert," she said sweetly as she opened the door. "Yes?" "Could I see you for a while, please?" I could hear both Nina and Sabine giggle softly as I climbed out, frantically trying to stuff my cock back into the pants. "There is no need for that, please," Charlotte breathed as she took my hand and drew me a bit further into the woods. "I-I want to... I heard..." She flung her mantel off and soon her jeans followed and she lay down on the soft ground and drew me down on top of her. She waited impatiently while I line my cock up and thrust half of it into her wet, very wet cunt. She cried her little soft cry. "I - don't - know - what - it - is - but - every - time - I - go - on - these - trips - with - you - I - can't - help - myself - except - for - last - time - I - couldn't - do - it - in - front - of - Fritz!" Between every syllable there was her little ai which must be clearly heard the short distance to the coach. This didn't seem to bother her as she reached up, took me by the hair and drew my face down to hers. I expected a kiss but instead she just rubbed her soft, moist lips against mine, crying her ai onto them and one final outdrawn wail as her pussy clamped down along my pumping cock. Softly she whispered her love to me and then she crawled out from under me, got her clothes on and walked back to the coach with her hips swaying seductively as she walked. I followed her with my eyes glued to the wonderful sight. "Minx," Nina giggled and I could hear a hand slap against the mantle and a broad smile spread over Charlotte's face. "I heard you before," she accused mockingly. "And you weren't discreet, were you?" I heard a smacking kiss being planted on Charlotte's cheek and her smile broadened, if possible. "Thank you," she laughed. The three of us that were visible sat in the carriage munching on the cold chicken and some bread while we waited for the foe's cart to show up. We had to wait till well after midnight before we heard the clattering of hoofs and the rumble of the wheels. Charlotte quickly climbed up on the seat and I followed her. "What are you doing here?" she hissed as she clicked the horses into motion. "I wont leave you by yourself up here," I said. "It isn't that unusual that there are two people up here is it?" "No. On the contrary." "Good. Keep well behind him." "I know, I know. We've talked about it," she answered impatiently. We sat there quietly while we rocked the road for twenty kilometers, I estimated. "You, don't know this part of the country, do you?" "No. Never been here before. Well, I've been here but I don't know how I got here. Why?" "Oh, I was just wondering how far we can expect him to drive at this pace." "Not too long, I think. He could easily have moved closer, if he is who we think he is. I had to agree with her on that one. He would have a fair fortune if he was the least like us. She wasn't all that right though because half an hour later we passed a dark town and we had to draw a little closer so we wouldn't miss if he turned into another street or into a yard. He didn't and as soon as we saw that he left the town boarders we slowed down to let him have some space. We drove for another fifteen minutes in the dark night when we again saw that we were nearing a town and again Charlotte closed up but we wouldn't have worried because he stopped at the first house and we stopped as well. As soon as the cart stood still I could feel how it rocked. "Are we there?" I heard Nina ask. "Yes, it seems so. He has sopped in front of that house..." "Good we'll go and see what his up to. Pick us up at the corner if he drives away. Come on Sabine," I heard Nina's voice disappear before I had any time to protest or ask them to be careful. We sat there and looked at the carriage and saw that a gate opened and it turned inside and it was a while before the gate was closed again. Fritz climbed out and stood and looked at the place were the carriage had turned in. We didn't speak but waited impatiently and nervously for the two women to come back. I glanced over at Charlotte, she was slowly chewing on her thumbnail and I could hear Fritz tap his foot and myself I tapped a finger on my thigh. "Done!" we heard after about forty minutes. "We did it!" "Where have you been?!" "What took you so long? All you should do was to confirm that we were on the right tracks!" "Are you all right?" "Sabine, you tell them." "Well, we were in time to slink inside before the gate closed, not that we had to worry about that because they didn't bolt it, just closed it. The coach stopped in front of the main door and two men..." "Two?" "I'll come to that in a while. Two men appeared and went inside. Again we followed them and we came into a large hall, almost like the one in the monastery, you know two doors on each side, a stair leading up and one down. The two men were greeted by a servant who took their coats and they went into what we had time to see was a library. They closed the door behind them and Nina told me to listen by the door while she looked around a little. I could hear a little through the door, not much but I learned the names of the two men. One is called Vlad and the other man was called Lecoq. I could only hear one word here and another there so I don't know what they were talking about." "While Sabine listened by the door I went upstairs. There were a couple of bedrooms but that was all so I went downstairs instead. I couldn't open the door but I could here there were coming moans of pain from behind it. I think it is obvious that this Vlad or Lecoq whoever lives there has the same predilection towards inflicting pain as his partner at the monastery all we have to do is find out if they have any Time Machine or not. I would like to go back in there at once and try to find the key to the cellars and have a look in the stables. If there is one it must be either downstairs or in the stables." "No," I said. "I think we at least must have Charlotte with us when we look at the place. There could be letters and stuff. I don't think neither you nor Sabine would understand the writing of this time. I say that we come back later. If they are as evil as they seem we may very well need some weapons as well." After some arguing from Sabine and Nina it was decided that we should return next night. Chapter 25 We spent a couple of days to get some stunguns, we didn't want to kill anyone, just take them out for a while. We got half a dozen small ones which used only one battery and charged 80 000 volts. If a charge from one of these wouldn't get them down, I don't know what would do it. We returned to the house with our stunguns in a string of opaque nylon that we all had helped twinning wider so that they would be more comfortable to have around the waist, this time in the Machine, and with some difficulty we got inside. We went into the library first, the likelihood of finding any documents would be in there. Nothing that would compromise anyone was in or on the desk. I got tired of looking through papers I didn't know a word on and went down the stairs and tried the door at the bottom of them. It was locked. I looked around to see if there was anything that I could use to pick the lock with without any luck so I went upstairs again and told to no one in particular what I had found out. "Hey, look at this!" Nina whispered in a half-loud whisper. I heard that her voice came from one of the bookshelves and when I looked over I saw an open book float in the air. I went over to her thinking that it was a strange time to start reading. "See," she whispered when she heard that we stood around her. She turned the book so we could see the picture inside. It was a photo of a woman in bondage, or maybe it was a BDSM picture, I honestly don't know the difference, if there is one. "Shit," Sabibe exclaimed. "It's a photo, at least a hundred years before the camera was invented!" "Yes. No doubt about it. We are in the right place!" Fritz said a little excitedly. Knowing that we were onto something made our spirits rice and we started searching the place with much more eagerness. "I know that my grandfather used to have a secret room in his library," Charlotte said. "Maybe there is one here too." "Well, how do we find it if there is one?" "I once saw a movie were you had to turn a knob and the bookcase swung open..." We looked and pushed and pulled at everything we could find. It was Charlotte that found it, behind a picture there was a lever and when she pulled it a, not bookcase, but a piece of the panel opened! Eagerly we all peeked inside. There were a lot of more books and we looked them over and they were all pornographic. Just inside the door there were a couple of keys hanging on a hook. "Let's go downstairs and try them out!" I had earlier had quite a bit of luck opening doors in the cellar but I can't say that I was expecting to find any new beautiful woman to incorporate in our steadily growing colony. We went down the stairs and one of the keys fit the lock and we entered the corridor that stretched inside it. This corridor wasn't as long as the one we had explored at the monastery but long and wide enough to have doors on either side. These doors had a small, barred windows making it easy too see what was inside the room. I hurried down the corridor and I could hear the others follow me. As I passed each door I glanced inside and inside every cell, as it turned out to be, there was a prisoner, most of them chained to the wall, but a couple of them just lay on their bunk, not moving and hardly breathing. As I approached the last cell I could feel Fritz stand there with his arms spread stooping us from moving to the last cell. "There's nothing else in the two last ones," he said. "We must find the Machine before we do anything else. I think we should come back here and to the monastery as well and free all the prisoners. Open the doors for them and give them a chance to escape, that is all we can do for the poor things. But first the Machines." We roamed the house and as before we found it very odd that we never saw anyone either holding guards or going to the kitchen for a night snack or anything. The house could as well be deserted. There were some doors on the top floor and when we listened at them we could hear someone snoring inside. Charlotte told us that this floor usually was reserved for the servants so we didn't bother to look inside them. We went outside and over to the stables. There were the two horses munching on some straw but otherwise it was empty. "Were is the coach?" Charlotte suddenly asked. I imagine that we looked at each other with some stupid expressions on our faces. Of course. The coach was missing. It was so obvious that we had overlooked it! "That's it! He must have hid his Machine inside the coach! Just as we have with our in the van!" Now that we knew what we looked for we searched the whole place for the coach but it was nowhere to be found. "OK, I'll need some wax or something," Fritz said, "then we're out of here." "Wax? Why?" Sabine asked. "To make a stamp of the keys. We have to come back and I don't want to walk into the library first." We found some candle ends in the pantry and Fritz softened them over the residue heat on the stove, made his imprints and then we put the keys back and tried to get rid of every clue that would show that we had been there. After that we went back to our own place. After we had satisfied the women, and our selves, we related to the whole family, slowly and without any previous planning our two groups had melted into one and it was more or less a free sex society now living in the mansion. Only Charlotte and Irene had so far been absolutely monogamous, well Irene had strayed with me a couple of times but her pregnancy advanced and her belly grew to such proportions that she delayed all fucks for as long as she could, but then she was so hot that her cunt overflowed of streaming juices and she almost cramped in delight at her orgasms. Charlotte I don't know if it was something to do with her young age, fifteen, or if she still was a bit shy, she didn't hesitate to come to the breakfast table nude though, her upbringing in a strict catholic home or what. By the conversations I had with her I assumed the latter. She had hinted that she hadn't been to any confession for ages but I hadn't payed any attention to it not being a religious man myself, as none of the other family members. We made plans and what we came up with was quite simple. We should try to track the Coach-Machine with Snoopy first, if that turned out to be to lengthy we should take the more desperate approach and go to the destination of the one way Machine at the monastery. We didn't like that idea much since we didn't know what was waiting at the other end. Fritz should learn how to use a sextant. In case that we had to go by the one-wayer we would have to go to that place in our own Machine and to do that we had to know where it was, exactly. I should get our coach back here and build a Machine inside it. We could after all not trust the good Miss Fortune to be as generous as she had so far. I managed to get the coach back to our workshop and was in the middle of converting it when Chris came into me one day. "Dad," she said a little hesitantly. "Yes dear." I knew that she wanted something otherwise she wouldn't call me dad. "I think there is something wrong with Charlie!" My head snapped up in alarm from the work I was doing. "What?! Is she ill?" "Oh, I don't know, but don't you think that it is odd that she haven't had her period once since she came here?" "She haven't? Have you asked her?" "Yes, she was a little reluctant to talk about it but finally I got her to admit that it has been... gratefully absent." "Oh. She's not pregnant?" I asked just as alarmed at this aspect as at the aspect of her being ill. "No. I don't think so. She said as much as she hadn't had any since she was taken prisoner by that man." "Perette," I said a little absentmindedly. "We have to get her to a doctor, you know a gynecologist." "Mmm, I thought so too. Can you take us to my place?" "Sure. When do you want to go?" "Oh, I think it's better to get it out of the way as soon as possible. I thought that I might take her to the one I used. I'll tell him that she is a cousin from France that will explain why she don't have any papers." "I don't think so. She would have to have at least a passport." "But you don't need a passport to travel in Europe. You know the Schengen treaty and that." "I know, but you still have to have some means of identification. Tell you what, are you up for some breaking and entering?" "Daddy!" she cried out. "We can't go into the doctors office and do it our selves! We don't know what to look for!" I chuckled a little at the thought of getting the beautiful girl up in the chair and... "Dad! I know what you are thinking! You'll better forget it!" "Oh, OK. No, what I was thinking was that we could stock up on empty birth certificates and maybe a stamp and such." "Oh yes! How clever of you!" "Oh, that's nothing. You should hear me on a good day," I said humbly. She stepped over to me hugged me and gave me a quick kiss. "I've seen you on your good days and on your bad days and I know that this was just a lucky coincident that there was a thought that didn't kill itself against the bone in your skull when it popped out of that little brain of yours," she laughed and fled but not before I had time to swat her butt making her shriek and laugh. The next day I took my daughter and Charlotte to her apartment. Chris made a call to her doctor and persuaded him to see Charlotte later that day which left us with almost a whole day on our own so I decided to take Charlotte on a little tour in my hometown, not that there was much to see but she was awestruck at everything she saw. The school, the hospital, the shops and even our town park made her laugh happily. "I could like it here," she said at one occasion. Chris had a thoughtful look on her face for the rest of the day. I knew better than to ask her what was on her mind. Sooner or later she would get around to let me know what it was all about. We had lunch at a nice restaurant and the Chris gave Charlotte a run through about her visit to the doctor's. Charlotte alternately blushed and whitened at the descriptions of what she was to expect. She even suggested that she should have some contraceptive, preferably a diaphragm since she was a bit too young for birth control pills. I agreed but I could see some hesitation on Charlotte's face. It reminded me about her catholic upbringing but I didn't think that the pope had been so futuristic in his views that he had already banned contraceptives at the time so I asked her what it was that worried her. "I want to have a child," she blushed. "Oh, you can have as many as you want. Later. When your about twenty or so. You have so much to learn first..." "Yes, that is what I have been thinking of," Chris interrupted. "I have decided that I want to start at the university again. I want to be a doctor," she said before I had time to congratulate her at her decision. "And I think it would bee a good thing if we put Charlotte at school as well. She has to learn something before she gets too old..." her voice trailed off. "What an excellent idea," I said. "But why a doctor?" "I think we need one. Who knows what lays ahead? We could get into real battles, someone could get ill, we have Adam and I suspect that as soon as this thing with the Abbe blows over there will be more babies made and we already have a schoolteacher." "OK, OK. What do you say Charlie? Do you want to go to school?" "Why?" "Well, you may want to be a doctor like Chris, or a teacher as Nina or something else?" "I want to stay with you." I could see that tears started to well up in her eyes. "You will, honey. You will, as long as you wish to. You are only a jump away from us and you'll be able to get home as often and as much as you want to. Think about all the fun you and Chris can have on your own in the city." She looked very doubtful but she promised to think about it. We took another walk and eventually we ended at the doctor's and was immediately shown in to doctor Alsberg. I explained the situation to him, that is I said that Charlotte had gone through some traumatic experience in France and that she hadn't have her period for about three months. He asked some questions showed her in behind a screen and Chris followed her behind it and helped her and soon she appeared again in a hospital robe that ended just above her knees. Doctor Alsberg measured her height and weight. Had her sit on the exam table while he listened to her hearts and lungs, the usual stuff. After a thorough physical exam he had her lie down and put her feet in the stirrups. I sat beside her and held her hand while the doctor probed between her legs, she whimpered a couple of times but other than a light blush she did fine. After the exam the doctor told us that there was nothing wrong with her and that he couldn't see why her period wouldn't start again as soon as she had rested some. He asked her to come back in three months and gave her a new appointment. We went back to Chris flat and while the girls tided the place a little I sat in the sofa looking at them. Charlotte saw me looking and gave me smile and she came over to me and sat in my lap, wrapped her arms around my neck and showed that she wanted to be kissed. The kiss escalated and my hands found her little breasts and pinched her nipples lightly, teasingly into hardness. Chris saw what was going on and told us to go into the bedroom, she should just dust a little more and then she would make us company. I soon had my dark haired little angel naked on the mattresses that still lay on the floor since our last time here and while I got undressed myself Chris came in and she beat me in getting undressed. She had Charlotte in her arms and her lips against hers plus a hand on one of the small pointy breasts before I had my socks off. I positioned myself on the other side of Charlotte and payed my attention to her other breast and soon the nipple in my mouth got that opaque sweet taste as it always got when it was as stiff as it could. "So Charlie, darling, how did you like it at the doctor's?" Chris mumbled when she paused her kissing for a while. "Did you like it?" Charlotte only shook her head because a moan occupied her mouth as my hand found its way down between her slender thighs. They had started to fill out a little and was becoming more and more womanlike instead of the boyish shape they had when she first came to live with us. My finger was met by the usual inviting smooth wetness and when my finger, wet by her juices passed over her little clit her hips jumped up and another moan escaped her lips. "Oh, did you like it that much?" Charlotte shook her head frantically in denial but the only sound emanating from her throat was the outdrawn moan that announced a climax. "You little femme fatale!" Chris giggled and pinched a nipple and thereafter she scraped her fingernail along the stiffness and a wail told us that Charlotte had had enough and climaxed on my finger. "Let me do the job, dad," Chris said and dived in between Charlotte's thighs head first. She glued her mouth over the whole slit, sucked and motioned for me to get behind her. Who was I to deny my daughter her wish? She had to lift her head a little when my cock thrust into her and she grunted a little before her pussy had adjusted to the size of the intruder. As I started to pound her pussy she made her tongue stiff and when she received a thrust her tongue would sink into Charlotte's tight cunt and when I withdrew so did her tongue. I was fucking two girls at the same time. One could only grunt her approval while the other was free to do her pleasure-shrieking. "Yes, yes! Right there," she whispered, "Oh God," she whispered, thrusting her ass against my shaft. "Oh God. Yes. Yes." For the first time since my time-travel induced stamina emerged I could feel the tingling, tightening in my balls announcing an orgasm start to build up before ten minutes had elapsed and with a loud groaning my cum shot out and splashed against the inner walls of my daughter's milking pussy. She had a heavenly ability to make her cunt make milking movements even when she didn't climax herself adding an extra dimension to the orgasm. Charlotte lifted her head as she heard my groaning and looked me deep in the eyes while her tongue flicked over her lips as if she was licking the cum clinging to my stiff shaft off. "Please Chris," she begged. "Can we switch?" "You know that I'm full of dad's cum?" "Yes, yes. I want him. Please!" Chris rolled over and stretched out and Charlotte got down between my daughter's legs, sank down on her elbows and presented her tight little ass to my eyes and the pink lipped, black haired pussy to my cock which didn't need much of an invitation to slip inside the tightness. The situation was again the same only altered by the fact that Charlotte was munching my cum out of my daughter's cunt and her little 'ai'-cries must have vibrated against Chris' clit adding to the tongue that drew long lines, from the asscreek up to the protruding clit. Sighs and moans from Chris' mixed with Charlotte's little cries of pleasure and my grunted base tone filled the room plus the squelching from both the girls flowing pussies. Chris' orgasm triggered a chain reaction as Charlotte's pussy started to squeeze my cock in the rippling, milking movements that was all her own way of cuming on my cock and that milking, squeezing forced a second orgasm out off me and my sperm splashed against her womb as I buried my cock as deep as I could in her holding her by her slender hips. With tiered thighmuscles I fell down by Chris' side and Charlotte fell down over her, covering her body with her own. I saw that her hips thrust a little in the after effect and Chris giggled as the two girl's clits bumped against each other prolonging their joy. "Dad," Chris said after a while. "Mhm." "Don't you think it is time that you bought Charlie a ring?" "A ring?" "Yes. You have proposed so you could at least make her a half decent woman by engaging her." "Oh. Yes, of course you are right. Let's go and buy an engagement ring." "Now?" "Yes, why not?" "Do you have any idea what time it is?" "Oh, since when could time stop a man from buying his girlfriend a ring?" Charlotte looked at us, both amused and pleased. "What are you waiting for? Lets go," I urged them. "We must get dressed and preferably washed first." "Oh no you don't. I want to be able to smell you as we are in the shop." "But... but..." "No buts." "All I was about to say is that I'm going to leak through my panties and I suspect so will Charlie. Are you sure you can handle that? Your sperm running down our legs?" "If I could put it there I'm sure that I can handle it running out as well," I laughed. We took the little trip and soon we were standing in the jeweler's. The woman behind the counter looked a little disapprovingly at us since there was a certain smell of sex and the girls had that obvious just fucked look, tousled hair, soft lips and deer-soft eyes when the looked at me which wasn't long. As soon as they saw the counter with the rings all they had eyes for were the glittering symbols of love. I browsed the shop by myself while my daughter and Charlotte looked over the rings. More than half an hour later I thought it was enough and went over to them. I looked over their shoulders and my eyes were immediately caught by a small diamond surrounded by smaller stones. I pointed at that one. "It's too expensive," Charlotte whispered. "Do you like it?" "Oh yes!" "OK then. We'll take this one," I indicated the ring to the attendant who looked at me as if I couldn't afford it. I just pulled up a wad of money, searched it for bills that wasn't newer than the year in which we were, counted out the sum and the woman was suddenly all smiles. We left the shop with Charlotte holding her hand up and admiring the ring all the way to the van. A couple of days later I had the coach ready and Fritz mastered the art of "sextanting" so we assembled the other three members of our force and told them that we were going for a try the next day. We arrived at the outskirts of the town and set up Snoopy. We followed the traces the whole day and ended up in various places but not at any place we considered to be the one we were looking for. It was late afternoon and we were about to give up for the day when we saw a mountainous landscape when we looked out. Just out of curiosity we decided to have a closer look. This looked more as a likely place. High on the mountain there was a castle, it wasn't big but it looked well fortified. Down in the valley we saw a cluster of houses, crudely made and smoke curled out of the chimneys we even saw a couple of people walking down from the castle on the winding road. "This sure looks as if it worth a closer look," I said and the others agreed. "Lets go and come back after dark." A couple of minutes later we stood in the dark looking around. It was pitch dark and we couldn't see more than down to our feet. In the distance we could see lights in the windows of the castle but down in the houses in the valley it was dark. "We just have to risk using the flashlights," Fritz said and his voice almost echoed. "Wait, I think I have some duct tape in here somewhere," I said and started to rummage the interior of the Machine. After a while I found it and put it in stripes over the flashlight, letting only a narrow strip free. I lit the light and when the others saw what I had done the handed me their flashlights and I did the same to them. Now we could light up the path without to much danger of being discovered. Despite the light the walk was very difficult until we reached the road but all the same we were all out of breath when we stood outside the gate. "So, how do we get inside?" Nina asked. "We have to see if there is a back door," I suggested. "Or we could open the gate," Charlotte suggested. "I think it is bolted and maybe even guarded. By the look of the castle it probably is. There were something sinister about it," Sabine said with a shiver in her voice. "I brought the grappling hook just in case we could find an open window or a part of the wall that is low enough to get it thrown over it..." "Good, now we at least have an option... Wait, wasn't there some sort of balcony each side of the gate?" We decided to walk as far as we could, hopefully all the way around the castle, just to see how it was layed out. While we walked we let the small beams of the flashlights lighten the wall as high as we could easily see. There were a couple of windows that looked as if the were lying so deep in the wall that it would be possible to get the hook to get a grip on the sill. We made notes of were they were. When we came to the backside of the wall it ended and the castles own wall became the outer defense line. This could be the best place of "attack" so we looked at it more carefully. Suddenly I could hear Sabine swear and hurried towards her voice. "Oh, how interesting!" I could hear Nina say. "I've heard of it and even saw one in a castle I visited when I was in third grade. I had forgotten all about them. You know they had the privies sticking out a bit from the wall and then they just did what they had to do and let that drop down on the ground. I think it only was a benefit if it should happen to land on an enemy," Nina almost laughed out aloud. "It's nothing to laugh about!" Sabine answered angrily. "You try to step in a pile of shit!" I could hear that her voice trailed of as she let her flashlight shine up on the part of the wall that were sticking out from the wall. "Hey! There's a hole up there, and wood. I think it is a wooden bench. Maybe our hookthrower could make himself useful and get the hook attach to that hole and lets hope that there is someone sitting there just then, that should make him get out of this filthy habit to shit down the wall," this time there was some smile in her voice. "Good idea," Nina quickly agreed to soothe the earlier glee. I looked up and saw that it maybe could be done. But it would be a very difficult throw and opted that we should find another solution if there was one to be found. We continued our walk, the only difference now was that we had part of our attention on the ground, none of us wanted to repeat Sabine's mishap. When we got to the gate again we saw that there was some sort of, not balcony, but a balustrade on each side of it. This would be the absolute easiest way to get up the wall plus I could take some steps back without the danger of falling down the mountain when I aimed and threw the hook. Either I had bettered my ability to throw the grappling or I was in luck because it stuck at my first effort. As the last time we used it Fritz was the first one to climb up and he was to check the balustrade for doors or any means of getting inside. It only lasted a few minutes till we heard him call down in a husked voice that there was a door that was unlocked. Nina climbed up and then Charlotte should climb but she kept gliding down as soon as she had gotten a meter up the rope. "Merde," she cursed, "I have never climbed up a rope. I don't know how to..." "Don't worry dear. I'll climb up and Sabine will push you from behind and I'll reach down and draw you up the rest of the way." With some effort I came up to the balustrade and whispered down to Sabine and Charlotte that I was ready. I heard some movements from down below. "Ai! Not there!" I heard Charlotte hiss and I had to laugh silently to myself. It was obvious that Sabine had taken the opportunity to crop a feel on a sensitive part of Charlotte. "Sorry," I heard Sabine giggle and then I could feel Charlottes hand searching for mine and got a grip on it and with a moan I hauled her up till she lay with her stomach on the stonewall. "Ouch," she complained as she rolled over the balustrade and landed rather heavily on the floor. Immediately thereafter Sabine stood beside us. Chapter 26 We had finished searching the stables and found the Machine that this Vlad or Perette used. Now we had to find out if there were more of them. The stables only held one but maybe there were some in the main building as well. We had to check it out just to be sure. The door was locked but after looking thoroughly at the lock I saw that it was very crude and wouldn't be any match for my lockpicking skills. I soon had the door unlocked and we slunk inside and carefully closed and locked the door behind us. After a short conference we decided to split up and I together with Charlotte and Nina should search downstairs, and I could look in the cellar as well since that was my favorite spot to search. We split up and I saw the Fritz and Sabine's flashlights and stunguns disappear up the stairs and the rest of us started to search the ground floor. We started with the library and went through it thoroughly but found nothing. We even searched the kitchen without finding any Machine so we turned towards the cellar. This time we had better luck. In a small, almost cupboard sized room, there was yet another one way Machine. This was the third we had found so far. We left it and went up the stairs to wait for Fritz and Sabine. We decided to go back home and make some plans, we could go no further on this road but had to approach the problem more directly. After a long discussion we agreed that the only thing we could do now was to try out the one way Machines and see were they led to. With three Machines we would need six persons that meant that we had to involve yet another one in the possibly risky operation. We went through the whole group one by one. I wanted Helga to stay home and in charge of things since I had great confidence in her ability to stay calm if a situation should rise. Irene and Tommy were out of the discussions soon thereafter, Irene being pregnant and Tommy the male that was in charge of security could not leave, the other most obvious choice was Chris. She was young and not easily scared so it was decided that Chris should join us and pair up with Fritz while Nina and Sabine should make one team with me and Charlotte as the third. We went and told the group of our decision and asked Chris if she was willing to join in on the adventure and she gladly accepted. Now we had to find a way so we could coordinate our "attack". We found that the simplest way was to get three watches, calibrate them, deliver them at the various locations and go back in the invisible state. Charlotte and I stood beside the Machine we had found at the monastery and waited for the right time to enter the Machine. When it finally arrived we stepped into it and soon we stood in a room, lighted by a dimmed lamp that hung down from a white ceiling in an otherwise empty room. There was only one door and nothing else that we could see so we walked over to it and I pushed Charlotte behind me and with the stungun ready to use I carefully opened the door. Just as the door started to slowly open I heard a sound behind us and I spun around ready to leap on anyone who came by the Machine. I sighed a sigh of relief when I saw two stunguns float freely in the air and understood that it was a couple of us and soon it was reveled that it was Nina and Sabine. As soon as they too stood by the door I continued to open it. It led out into a dining room. I stepped through the door and took one step aside, letting the other three follow me. We stood there and looked around. It was a rather big room and in the middle there was a large mahogany table with six chairs around it. Paintings covered the walls and on one of the walls there were two windows with deep windowsills. I saw that someone was approaching the window. "That's funny," I heard Sabine say from the window. "I sort of recognize this street. I'll go outside and check to be sure, but I'm certain that I know where we are." I saw her move across the room, open a door and disappear. We followed her since there wasn't anything more to see in the dining room. There were one door just opposite the one we came through, one that lead outside and one, smaller on the same side as the dining-roomdoor. As we stood there the front door opened, there was a clicking sound when Sabine hooked the yalelock open and then it closed behind her. We others went across the hall and opened the door opposite and came into a combined library and office. There was a computer on a desk beside the big, also mahogany, desk were a couple of stacks of paper lay neatly on one side, a telephone completed the things on the desk. One of the women went over and started to leaf through the papers while I checked the bookcases with finding nothing special. I heard Charlotte call for me I went over and saw what she had found, a safe. I noted it but there was nothing I could do at the time, we may not have time enough to go through all the papers in the desk to find the combination, if it was there, we had to find all the Machines that was here. Just then we heard the front door open and close. "Just as I thought," Sabine announced when she stood in the doorway. "We are not far away from were we lived for the first couple of years, just after Fritz had met us, well, I don't think that he had met May at the time and maybe not Katja either..." "Yes, yes," I hurried her. "Oh, sorry, well if I not remember wrong there should be a garage in the back of the house..." "Let's check it out," I interrupted her and hurried out leaving the door open for the women to follow me. I waited for Sabine to take the lead and take us to the garage. Sure enough it was there, adjoinacance to the main building. There was one drawback though, the door was locked and adding to that there was a heavy padlock as well. It was obvious that I wouldn't be able to pick that one. There was only one thing to do. We had to find the keys. As we were on our way out on the sidewalk again there was a man and a woman who just walked by, the first people we had seen since we arrived, but thanks to the shadow we were in they didn't see us, or rather our stunguns and we followed them after a short while and soon we were in the relative safety inside again. I told Nina to go and check the Machine since there still wasn't any sign of Fritz and Chris and I started to get a little worried. She was to stand guard and have her stungun ready if our "host" should unexpectedly come home. In the meantime we should search the whole house for the keys. They had to be there, I would never risk taking such important items with me. While I search the rooms upstairs, Charlotte sorted through the papers and the drawers and Sabine was in charge of searching the ground floor. About ten minutes later I heard two voices calling for me and since I just was ready with the topfloor I hastened down to see what it all was about. First I stuck my head into the room were the Machine was, it turned out that Fritz and Chris had arrived. "Sorry we are late," Fritz said. "We had to wait for a long time before they all drove off in the carriage, from what I could understand they were still rather upset about Charlotte's disappearance and had men out searching for her and they had some news about her being seen about a hundred kilometers to the east, close to the coast and they guessed that she was trying to get out of the country. They left with a map and ten men. I don't think they'll be back for quit some time but just to be safe I stay here and keep watch with Nina." When Chris came over to me I could see the telltales that they hadn't been too bored while they waited. I chuckled quietly when I saw this. "Why didn't you tell me?" Chris hissed as we made our way for the library where Charlotte had been calling for me. Sabine was there too when we entered. "Tell you what?" I asked innocently. "That it was this... bad to go in the invisible state?" "Bad?" "You know very well what I mean, you mean man. It makes you so horny that you can't stand it! You just have to..." her voice trailed off when we entered the library. "I've found the combination to the safe! It was under the candlelight in the lampette over there," Sabine told us as soon as we entered. A piece of paper floated over to me and I took it eagerly and read the combination out aloud. "OK, let see if it is the right one," I decided and went over to the large safe, knelt in front of it and started to turn the lock. I was rewarded a few seconds later by a loud "click" and when I pushed the handle it swung easily open. Inside their were a lot of money in different currencies and from a wide variety of times. I let them were they were. What I was looking for was some keys. I had to lift a stack of papers before I found four keys, one looked as if it would be a padlock-key and the other was a usual ignition-key to a car and the third key was a key that would fit in a safety lock. I took them all, stuck my head in to Fritz and Nina and told them were we would be. The key fitted into the padlock and I soon had it opened and we could enter the garage. To the left there was a light switch and I turned it on and when the light came on we all stood there just looking in surprise. What we had in front of us looked as if it was Fritz old van! "Oh my god!" Sabine exclaimed. "It is our old Machine!" "Yes, it certainly looks so." "What is it doing here? Why haven't he destroyed it?" "Who knows? Maybe his wasn't as good as yours and he wanted to go over it and adjust his, who knows? I hope we wont be in the position to ask him. Well, if we were in a safe position... I wonder were that door leads?" There was a door on the far wall that I just now saw. Maybe all four keys lead to something in this garage. I unhooked the car key and handed it to Sabine. "See if this fits the van," I told her and went over to the door, the key went into the lock and turned. Slowly I opened the door and peeked inside. There was nothing to see but a staircase leading, rather steeply down about five meters. "Chris stay by the garage door and look out, Charlie and I are going down," just as I said this the engine started on the van and was turned off immediately. "Sabine," I called when I saw that the van rocked a little as she climbed out. "Come over here." We went down the stairs, me first then Sabine and last Charlotte. When we stood on the small space at the end of the stairs we saw another door to the left, it was as if it lead down under the main building. This door wasn't locked and it swung silently open as I pushed it. I found the light switch and turned it. There were two more doors on the left side of the small corridor I stepped over to them and saw that there were no locks on them but there were some beams locking the second one. First I opened the first door and looked inside the room. It looked as a warehouse, shelves after shelves full with various items and tools. It could be worth looking at later. I lifted the beam off the holders to the second door and looked inside. This room was dimly lit and what I saw made me gasp in horror. "What? What is it?" I heard Sabine ask and I felt both of her and Charlotte peek over my shoulder and saw the cage, formed like a bird cage only with thicker bars, and there was lying someone on the bottom of it in a cramped position. It was a young boy from what I could see. He was dirty and no wonder, he lay in his own excrement and urine. I looked intently and could see that he was alive because once in a while his ribcage expanded and sank. Charlotte suddenly gave up a cry in despair. "Oh dear God! It's Robert! It's Robert! What have they done? Oh my God! What have they done?!" she cried and hurried over to the young boy sitting in a cage which was hanging down to about a meter over the floor and reached her hand inside and lay it on the bent leg. "He's warm. He's alive! Hurry!" she rushed over to the wall were the chain that held the cage up were secured. "Hurry! Help me! Please!" I could hear the chain rustle while she heaved and yanked at it and slowly I realized what she had said. I hurried over to her and with a great effort I managed to get the chain unhooked and tried to lower it as carefully as possible but despite my aspiration it just fell the last decimeter or two and hit the floor with a loud thump. The boy inside didn't stir more than the expected shake as the cage hit the floor. I saw the bars rattle as Charlotte tried to get inside. "Wait, wait," I heard Sabine say and the rattling stopped and the only sound in the room were the soft sobs from Charlotte. "Now Robert, raise the cage. Pull damn it!" she growled when I didn't do as she told me fast enough. I pulled the chain and the cage lifted a bit, without the bottom. Despite the fact that it was only the bars, no bottom and no body to raise it was still hard work but finally I got the cage high enough up in the air for Sabine and Charlotte to lean in and half lift and half drag the boy out and lay him flat on the floor. He was naked, covered in his own dried in excrement's. I looked around the room to find some water and a rag or something so we could wash the most of the dirt off him but I couldn't see anything. I remembered that I had seen a hose in the other room and went to it. There was a hose and beside it there was a bucket. I could find no cloth however. I filled the bucket with water and when I was on my way into the other room I called for Chris and when I heard her voice on the top of the stairs I told her to get inside the house and fetch some cloth of any kind. She didn't ask questions but did as I had told her at once and I carried the bucket into the women. I saw that the boy's, Robert's, head was elevated somewhat and that it rocked back and forth and I understood that Charlotte had it in her arms slowly rocking it while she spoke in a broken voice words in French. The bucket had hardly hit the floor before Sabine dipped her hand in it and carefully started to clean Robert's face. "I told Chris to get some cloth, she'll be here soon." "Good, was there more buckets? We could use one with clean water to rinse with." "I'll see." When I went inside the other room I heard bare feet running down the stairs and I stopped long enough to tell Chris to go into the other room with the cloth, curtains as the look of it. I heard muffled voices from the other room while I search for another bucket but I couldn't see any. I decided to go into the house and get something to carry the water in. I yelled over to the women what I was to do. "Get some towels as well," Chris shouted back. There was warm water in the faucet so I mixed it to lukewarm in a big pot, found some kitchen towels and went back to the cellar. Robert was more or less clean by now and when Sabine and Chris dipped the towels in the warm water and rubbed his body with it he soon was as clean as we could get him in this place. "Charlie," I said. "You and I have to go back and get our Machine so we can get Robert back home to Helga. Can you leave him for just a minute?" "OK," she sobbed and slowly lowered his head to the floor. She crept into my arms for a short hug before I took her by her hand and lead her to Fritz' Machine. "We'll use Fritz' Machine, it'll be faster." I opened the door for her and climbed in after her. I started the engine and backed it out on the yard, hit the appropriate buttons and we stood almost beside our own Time Machine. We switched vehicles and were soon again parked in the yard, this time in the visible state. I shivered a little as we climbed out, the night was rather cold and now I could feel it. We hurried down and entered the room and found Robert almost clean. "I'll go and tell Fritz and Nina were you are gone," Sabine said as she and Chris followed upstairs. "I don't think that you need to stand guard here any longer. Join Fritz and Nina and wait for Charlie and me to come back. But you better close the door and don't loose the keys." "Dad," Chris said a little hurt. "I know, sorry darling. See you in a while." I lay Robert as comfortable as I could on the seat and Charlotte kneeled beside him. We were outside the mansion almost before her knees hit the floor and I picked Robert's light body up in my arms and just as we got out of the Machine all the women stood at the door looking apprehensively at us and when they saw me carrying someone in my arms they rushed over at me, all except Tommy whom I noticed out of the corner of my eyes had taken a step and stood in the darkest part of the small verandah. I made a silent notice to commend him when we had time to talk. Just now all I wanted was to get Robert inside and leave him in the care of the women. I carried him into a small, empty room were I lay him on the bed. Helga, who else, bent over him and as soon as she did that her nose wrinkled and she told no one in particular to get a washbasin, warm water and a soap. She felt him over the whole body very carefully. "I think he needs medical help as soon as possible. He is totally dehydrated and I suspect on the verge to die from starvation." I thought quickly. "OK, have any of you used the Machine?" Helga and Tania said yes so I chose Tania and May to come with me. I met Tommy as he was coming in from a round outside. "Tommy, I have to ask you to skip the watch for a while. I think Irene and Thekla can handle it for a while." "Why?" "I want you to escort Tania and May and get a doctor from somewhere. Somewhere preferably in a town as far from here as possible. We can't ask him for a house-call in this matter so you have to abduct him and I think you can be more persuasive than any of the women." "OK, I'll just tell Tania and May." "Tell Charlie that she may stay if she want to and meet me at the Machine after that. I'll just go over the commands with Tania, just as a refresher." It didn't take more than a couple of minutes till Tommy came out to the Machine in company of Charlotte. They both climbed into us. "You may stay with your brother, no one even expect you to leave him now," I said as Charlotte sat down. "I want to get the bastard who did this to him and I trust that Helga and you guys will do the best you can for him," she said with gritted teeth. "OK. Now, first of all we'll get Charlotte and me to our Machine and then your off to your task." A short while later I parked our Time Machine in Perette's backyard. We hurried inside and we had just got inside when we heard rather loud voices coming from the room with the Machine so we hurried over to it. The sight we saw was unbelievable. On the floor lay Perette struggling to get up on his feet, struggling against nothing! Or so it looked, I knew that at least one, possibly all four of my companions either sat on him or held him down. Someone had blindfolded him and was now about to tie his hands behind his back. We hurried over and held down his legs and this was too much for the struggling man. He stopped struggling and lay quit still while he was securely tied up. Finally we could all stand and look down at our catch. "Well, what do we do with him?" "Chop his head off!" Charlotte spat spitefully. "Now, now dear," I said, sympathizing with her feelings. "You know very well that we can't do that. It would put as in the same standard as his." "We can't let him go! He's evil!" "No, we can't." "There must be something we can do to get rid of him." Wait a minute. I think we have to do things in the right order. Fritz come with me for a while, will you." We stopped just outside the door. "First we must destroy the Machines he got. The three on wayers as well as the coatch." "Yes, your right but someone must stay here and watch him." "I think I have an idea. Did he notice you being invisible when you got him?" "I don't think so. We put a curtain over his head before we gave him a shock, well maybe it was two shocks at once, the first being attacked in his own home and the second was a shot of electricity. He fell down immediately but we hadn't thought of ropes so he woke up fully before we started to tie him up but the curtain was over his head the whole time and then we blindfolded him more securely." "Good, we have to get you back hear in the visible condition, he already knows you so it really doesn't matter if he sees you and it could be to our advantage if he didn't know me or the others if we should have to deal with him again. He now knows that your not on your own so.." "OK, I'll be back in a while then." We waited until Fritz was back and squarely seated on top of Perette before I asked the others to come into the library with me. I told them the plan in short. We should split up again, go back, destroy the Machines on the other side and I would pick them up in intervals of fifteen minutes. Everything went very smoothly and without any delays and soon I had picked up all the women and the only thing left to take care of now was the coach. All we had to get out of it was the computer parts and that was easily done. Now they didn't have any means to get in contact with each other. When we arrived back to Fritz he told us that he had time to think things over and that he thought the best was to get Perette back a couple of hundred years, we didn't think that a Time Machine could work without the computer parts so he should be isolated there and we didn't have to harm him in any way. It was totally up to himself how he would survive but he had some experience in that field already so we didn't fear for his welfare too much. We all agreed that this would be an appropriate punishment for him, including Charlotte as she had time to think it over for a short while. We were a little cramped in the Machine as we went back to the mid seventeenth century found a forest were we pushed Perette out and Fritz went over and freed one of his hands before he ducked back into the Machine and before Perette had time to remove the blindfold we were gone and back home. Chapter 27 We rushed inside as soon as we were parked in the yard at home, eager to find out how Charlotte's brother was. We were met by reassuring smiles and words by the whole family which was assembled in the living room. At this Charlotte and I continued to the room were we had put Robert while the others retired to more secluded parts of the house. When we entered the room we saw Tommy stand by the side of the door with an watchful eye on a man who were leaning over the thing body of the boy in the bed. "How is he?" Charlotte asked worried. "I should really need some intravenous drip to be absolutely satisfied. He is heavily dehydrated and under nourished." "Is there anything we can do without the drip?" Helga asked. "Give him water, in small quantities but regularly, feed him, soup or even better a consommé, also in small quantities and often. I'll give you some pills, tranquilizers and sleeping pills if he should get restless. All he need is sleep and nourishment and a lot to drink of course. He is young and there is nothing else wrong with him." The doctor stood and looked around an when he saw me he directed his words to me, "What happened to him?" "An accident," I answered shortly. "I don't believe you, I really should report this to the police as soon as I get home." "Yes, of course you shall," I agreed. "Are you finished here?" "Yes." "May we offer you a glass of whine? Whisky or something?" "Hmph, thank you. A whisky would be nice." "If you'll follow me I'll make sure you get something. Are you staying here Charlie?" "Yes, but," she blushed and shot the doctor a glance "You know what I - we need to..." "Of course dear, I'll be back later. I'll just have a little talk with the doctor and a small glass of whisky." I took the doctor into the living room were almost all the other members of the family sat and listened to music, read or talked. Everyone looked up from what the were doing just for a while but soon they ignored us completely. "You must forgive us for not introducing ourselves to you," I said a little apologetic. "Yes." "A glass of whisky coming up, straight, on the rocks or with water?" "Straight please." I saw that he looked around, taking everything in, but I didn't see any harm in that. There was nothing in the room that could expose us in any way. I noticed that he looked very interestingly on the CD player and casually he strolled up to it, looked it over and then he checked the Cds, he took one out from its place and turned it over and over in his hands. I went over to him and looked at the CD he was holding in his hands. "Oh, do you like Rolling Stones?" I asked when I saw that he was holding one of Chris' favorites in his hands. "Who?" he asked surprised. "The Stones," I indicated the CD in his hands. He looked down on it and saw the name on the cover. "Oh, that, no, well I don't know. Never heard of him, he looked down again and read the text on the cover, "them," he changed his words. I found this a little odd, not that he didn't like them, but that he had never heard them, or anything of them. He gulped down his whisky in one gulp. "I guess I'll better..." he stuttered a little nervously. "Yes, of course. How much do we own you for this inconvenience?" "Nothing, nothing at all. I really..." It was obvious he was very nervous. "Let me assure you, no harm will come to you." I turned to the women and ask non in particular, "any of you women fancy a ride?" "Yes! Yes!" almost all of them shrieked. "OK, why don't we all go then. Get some money we might stop by a shop or two." I stepped over to Tommy and asked him what year he had picked the doctor up and when he told me I could understand why he became nervous all in a sudden, it was well more than thirty years before CD was even mentioned in the magazines. "Give him some money when you leave him," I told Tommy. "Well, I'll say good bye then. May we call upon you again if the need should rice?" "Yes, of course. You should let your own doctor look at the boy in a week or so." "OK, we'll do that, again thank you and good bye." The doctor disappeared in the middle of the women as they all hurried out to the van, I couldn't go with them, I had a date with Charlotte. Robert didn't need any more visits from a doctor but we took him to a local one for a normal health check. He recovered fast and was spoiled rotten by all the women but he took it as a man and kept mostly to his sister and a couple of Fritz wives. After about a years time there was an epidemic of pregnant women and the group grew steadily over the years. We never heard of Perette and his accomplishes again, thankfully, but we ran into other dangers that is not to be revealed in this story. The End Back
