MAIN Sara speaks with Ashley

Day 74

The Hive at the mansion had been more like a kicked-over ant hill the last two days. Sara wasn't sure what had happened and Olivia had been with Sara most of the last two days so was also out of the loop.

As Olivia announced that it was wake-up time Sara felt the annoying jolt as Karen's Master took her body back away from her. They had had a nice chat the night before as they lay in bed. Sara almost felt at home for the first time in over a week. She and Karen had in a way been rivals in high school. If Sara had had the guts to tell Cory that she liked him she might have been one of the four Karen confronted. But in truth they had a lot in common and in this **** situation were becoming fast friends. Just, only for an hour or so a day.

As Karen and Cory filed out Olivia closed the door and sat down on Sara's bed. "Come one sleepy head, even Inquisitors can't sleep in here." Sara just threw her pillow at Olivia.

Olivia was quick enough to catch it and laughed as she let it fall to the floor. "You are extra slow in the morning," she said then giggled and began tickling Sara under the covers.

This got Sara up very quickly. She had always been extremely ticklish and Olivia in her instinctive way had hit on this weak point the morning before. "All right, all right, quit it, I'm awake." Sara protested as she sat up.

"So are things going to be crazy again today?" Sara said as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"Maybe, but probably not as bad," Olivia said as she straightened the collar of the pajamas she had found for Sara the day before.

"So you found out what happened then?" Sara asked expectantly.

"Uh-huh," Olivia said as she got Sara's pajamas presentable. "It seems that Jenny was off doing some unauthorized converting of free hosts and Crissy is pissed. Since Jenny is one of Jennifer's lackeys Ashley insists that Jennifer is encouraging it. Ashley says Jennifer is using the mansion as cover to build some sort of secret army."

Sara was fully awake and interested in this gossip, "Is she?" she asked eagerly.

"Mmmmm... I kind of doubt it. Jennifer is sneaky but she is doing just fine building one out in the open army already. I'm sure that some are finding it hard to keep from fucking some unsuspecting hottie and accidentally making her a host. The temptation is strong, TRUST me on that one. But still an organized effort by Jennifer, unlikely." Olivia seemed well versed in Jennifer's plots so the news was encouraging.

"Should I tell Ashley? I planned on seeing her today if things calmed down." Sara asked.

"Tell her what you want, she is the type that only hears what she wants to hear," Olivia replied.

Two hours later Sara was reading and Olivia was trying to get interested in a manga. She tossed it aside carelessly and it landed with the cover folded back. Olivia then carefully straightened it as she realized Sara was right there. She added it to the other four she had given a try that morning. None of it appealed to her.

The door opened and Amanda and Becky walked in. They both looked very seriously at Olivia but seemed to soften a bit when they saw Sara.

"We need to inspect you both," Becky said as Amanda closed the door.

"Fine," Olivia said as she got on the bed and spread out her legs. . Sara watched her closely wondering what this was about exactly.

Becky approached Olivia with a small flashlight in one hand and a speculum in the other. Amanda just stood by the door.

"You wouldn't be this rough on Samantha," Olivia said as Becky opened her up and showed the flashlight inside of Olivia.

"Um, what are you doing," Sara said a bit nervously. She always hated going to the gynecologist.

Amanda answered, "We are making sure everyone here has a spawn attached and no hidden second Master."

"I see," said Sara as she stood up and slowly unbuttoned her pajama bottoms.

After Olivia was done Sara got on the bed, she lay back with her knees in the air and spread herself open for Becky.

"Don't worry dear, I'll be as gentle as possible," She said as she pushed the cold metal device into Sara. Sure Sara thought, that's what they all say.

A minute later Ashley's two most trusted comrades left the room satisfied. Leaving Sara feeling violated and Olivia ready for a ruckus.

"So that happened," Sara said in a flat tone.

"Yeah, those two bitches were always snotty cheerleaders," Olivia said. For a second Sara thought she might spit after saying that but Olivia somehow restrained herself. "Still want to see Ashley?" she asked.

"That's the plan, you are my chauffeur I take it?" Sara replied.

Sara was startled and saddened when her mother answered the door to Ashley's house. She silently ushered them in. Sara hadn't spoken to her mom since graduation but she had heard that she had fought her Master too hard and was a bit broken because of it. At the top of the stairs, Sara saw into the master bedroom. Ashley's mom was riding on Billy's stiff cock and seemed lost in the pleasure. Sara got her last shock when she opened the door. Ashley was sitting on her bed, fully clothed and Tasha was sitting on the floor naked and staring off into oblivion.

"Tasha, go wait outside with Olivia," Ashley said as Sara walked in. Tasha silently complied.

"You get all the hard cases don't you?" said Sara as she slowly shut the door behind her.

"Yeah, I think Jennifer sends all the broken ones to me to seem like she is being helpful. But I get what she is up to." Ashley said crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Your mom is looking pretty good," Sara said trying to break the ice.

"She is kind of a success story. She looks pretty good now. She might be a magazine model in another month. All she ever wants to do is fuck though. She is almost as useless as Billy and Tasha." Ashley said in disgust. She realized that Tasha had been Sara's friend and looked at her to see if she reacted. From the look on Sara's face, Ashley was glad that she hadn't mentioned Sara's mother.

Ashley got down onto the mat on her floor and sat Indian-style. Sara followed her example and the two sat quietly for a moment.

"You want to find my blind spots? You seem to have done a pretty good job of that already." Ashley said pouting.

"Well, I have talked to about fifteen Masters now and decided that there is more to learn than just about our mistakes," Sara said trying to figure out how she was going to write in her notepad while sitting like this.

"That's true I suppose, but what do you want from me?" Ashley didn't like how human of a reaction Sara had had at the mention of Tasha. She didn't know if Sara was trustworthy, just another of Jennifer's goons or something else entirely.

"How is your work on finding a solution to the male problem going?" Sara asked.

Ashley crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, "Terrible, next question."

Sara set down her notepad and shifted her legs out from under her to be in a more comfortable position. "Do you really think Jennifer is plotting to create some secret army?"

"There it is," said Ashley as she looked Sara in the eyes. "Checking up on me for queenie, are we? Well, tell her that I KNOW she is up to something. And I'll figure it out sooner or later."

Sara frowned, this wasn't going well, "I'm not on Jennifer's side... or yours... I am just trying to figure all this out. I just want to help out the Hive."

Ashley sprang to her feet and said, "AH HA! You definitely lied in there somewhere." She put a hand to her chin in thought, "But I'm not sure where exactly."

The door opened and Olivia stuck her head in," Is something wrong? I thought I heard something."

Sara looked at Olivia and said, "No, everything is all right, but why don't you come in here too." Olivia walked in and closed the door again. She stood for a moment and Sara said, "Sit down I think we can trust her." Olivia sat equidistant from Sara and Ashley. Ashley sat back down as Olivia did.

Sara said to Olivia, "Tell her that she can trust me."

Olivia laughed and said, "That's not how trust works sweetie."

Ashley interjected, "But I will trust her if you do..."

Olivia turned and looked at Ashley for a moment then back to Sara, then back again to Ashley, "I trust both of you and think you should trust each other. But nothing we say should ever leave this room."

All three nodded and Ashley began talking, "The biggest mistake I've made was giving Jennifer a Master. That bitch was a scheming parasite before then and is even more of one now. I can just feel it in my bones, that creature loves having people lick her boots and sees a chance to make the whole world bow to her. Maybe her Master didn't take or something or maybe it went overboard in a weird way. They do that you know." Both Sara and Olivia nodded at that. "I guess you haven't been completely wasting your time over there. But I tell you she is broken somehow and we have to figure out some way to stop her. The sad thing is I think that Barbara is just as bad, but in a different way. She won't let ANYONE into that hospital anymore to check up on them. She insists that she is going to follow Crissy's moratorium once the hospital is 'secure'. But who knows what she means by that. She's broken too."

"So what do we do about them?" Sara said.

"Hell if I know," said Ashley. "I've just been trying to follow the imprint and find ways to make us work better and more efficiently. The results are mixed so far. For instance, the imprint tells us that gathering 'genetic material' from men is necessary for our growth, that's why we are so fuck crazy. But the truth is it does nothing at all. We can adapt our spawn as they grow and it has nothing to do with semen. So the imprint isn't perfect and might even be misleading."

Sara sat up straight, that really was interesting. Even Jennifer respected the imprint. Although Sara didn't remember her taking in any semen lately. But she did claim to base many of her actions on it.

"Another thing," Ashley looked at the door and then leaned her head into the center of the circle and motioned for Sara and Olivia to do the same. "I figured out how to convert someone almost instantly."

Sara felt her heart palpitate with shock. The very thought that there was a way to slip a Master into or onto someone and instantly convert them was horrifying to Sara. Olivia had a much more speculative look as Ashley went on. She was whispering now, "It came from more research on trying to make a queen. Which is now of course pointless but it still turned out to have some benefits."

Sara felt her heart stop again, "You mean that I am how you figured out that vile... vital information."

"No not you, let me try to explain this simply," Ashley said quietly. "Once a Master has access to the nervous system it needs to connect to a host's brain. We use the intense energy release of an orgasm to penetrate into a brain. I used to think that a more intense orgasm meant more or better lines of connection. It seems like there are hundreds of key nerves connecting the sex organs to the brain. To us, they are like hoses that we ride piggyback inside on the impulse of an orgasm. Some hoses are small and don't need much to push through and some are harder to use and are rarely even opened enough to notice that they exist."

Olivia and Sara were leaning into Ashley again listening intently. Olivia was trying to visualize what she was saying. Ashley continued, "I thought that a more intense orgasm would open more connections more quickly. I always wondered why some hosts resisted so well and others that seemed so open to their Master still took several orgasms to fully control. Sometimes we get lucky and get a good connection early and sometimes we just have to brute **** our way in and take lots of smaller connections until they build up to complete control."

Ashley paused for effect, "I found one very rarely opened connection that works all on its own, every time. The best part is even a mild orgasm is enough to use it. The key is knowing which one it is and pouring all the energy into it. Theoretically, you could drop a Master near someone in their sleep and just walk away. It crawls in and the next time they have sex or masturbate... POP... 'I obey', they are one of us instantly. A girl could be trying to quietly rub one out in a history lecture and just like that she goes from horny coed to fully controlled host with a tiny whimper that even the person next to her can't hear. It's incredible."

"Incredible isn't the word for it," Sara said in despair.

"You could convert someone and no one would know you did it," Olivia said in hope.

"Yeah, I haven't thought much about the implications of it myself. But imagine what a crazy bitch like Jennifer would do if she knew or Barbara." Ashley even shuddered visibly at that.

"So who else knows?" asked Olivia.

"No one," said Asley "I kept it to myself since it seems kind of dangerous and I don't trust many people. Only Olivia really, and I guess you too now." Ashley smiled at Sara.

"Will you show us?" Olivia asked.

Ashley tilted her head as she thought. After some thought, she finally said, "Sure but don't let anyone else know." Ashley got up and started taking her clothes off. Knowing what that meant Olivia quickly did the same even. Sara was still a little icked out by direct communication so she was slower than Olivia. She watched the two and stayed clothed as she waited her turn.

About ten minutes later a loud knocking was heard at the front door. A moment later Sara heard it open and a commotion ensued. Sara walked to the bedroom door and peeked her head out. Lana and Monica were stomping up the stairs.

Lana said loudly, "Who told you that you could leave the mansion!" as she pointed at Sara.

"Who? Me? What?" Sara sputtered as Lana got to the top of the steps and opened the bedroom door wide. Sara jumped back as Olivia and Ashley broke their connection.

Lana grabbed Sara's wrist roughly and said. "You are too important to be out on your own missie."

Olivia was gathering up her clothes when she said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell her that she can't leave." Olivia made a silly face and crossed her eyes. "You know how I am sometimes."

Lana didn't let go of Sara but did roll her eyes at Olivia, "You would forget your Master if it wasn't attached to your uterus." Lana turned her attention to Sara. "Come on we are taking you home now." She looked back at Olivia. "You get dressed and come right back too."

Lana escorted Sara to the car like she was under arrest and got in the back beside her. "That one makes so much trouble without even trying," Lana said in exasperation as the car started moving.

"This wasn't that bad," said Monica as she drove off.

"I suppose," said Lana looking out the window as they drove off.

"You should go easy on her, it's her job to help me and I just wanted to interview Ashley," Sara said trying to defend her friend.

Lana turned on Sara instantly, "Got a sweet spot for the little tramp huh? She is great in the sack I admit. But she isn't as big as me." As Lana said this her skirt tented up as she pushed her Master out of her. She then jammed her hand into the waistband of the track pants Sara was wearing.

"Oh, panties, you like to play hard to get huh?" We've got fifteen minutes wanna take a ride on the biggest cock in the Hive? I never did get a piece of that ass of yours. How is the process of firming it up going?" Lana aggressively dug her fingers under Sara's panties and put one finger inside Sara.

Sara grabbed Lana's wrist and pulled up on it, "Just fine thanks," she said through gritted teeth.

Lana was far too strong for Sara but decided that she wasn't worth the fight and withdraw her hand from Sara's pants. "Fine, fine I get it. You belong to Olivia this week. She will get bored of you. We all get into ruts but in the Hive, there are no permanent relationships. It's just who did you fuck today. And today you could have had the best of the best. But that's over" Lana crossed her arms and looked away from Sara, then shouted, "Stop the car."

Monica pulled over and Lana got out of the back and into the front. She muttered, "Fat ugly bitch" under her breath but still loud enough for Monica and Sara to hear. Then Monica put the car into gear and they drove back to the mansion.
