Tabitha's Torment

Kathy could sense the emotional torment of the pretty priestess, but couldn't understand why she was so upset. She wanted to hug and comfort her, but Tabitha had shied away when Kathy tried to touch her. Instead, Kathy flooded their newly formed link with her love. It was the only thing she could think of to sooth the terrified woman.

Lu stepped beside Kathy, her eyes locked on Tabitha, and asked, "What are you hiding from our Queen? Tell us."

Kathy turned to Lu in confusion and muttered, "Hiding?"

Lu softened her tone, "Kat, you ordered her to tell you about herself. That was when she began acting odd. There is something about her, or something she knows, that she doesn't want to tell you."

As Kathy contemplated her words, Lu went on to say, "Kathy, I don't think you understand how important you are to me, or any other Lotus Sister assigned to our King. You are not simply my Queen, or my lover. To the members of the Sisterhood, you are a religious icon, blessed by the gods and goddesses, chosen by them to serve our King. There is no order you could give that I would not follow, save for one that harmed our King. Like me, she is a Lotus Sister, and Caleb claimed her. She literally cannot disobey you. So whatever is bothering her, it certainly affects one of you."

Tabitha had tears flowing down her cheeks now, indicating to Kathy that what Lu said had merit.

Kathy felt a pull on her heart. Caleb may not have set out to do it, but his normalities created their wacky religion. Hell, Chris's mom is a cock worshiper. She practically demanded Chris and I have a threesome with her when she found out I was the newest Harem Queen. I'm part of their religion now too, and I've never even been inside a church. That never really occurred to me before. Caleb and I are like some kind of demigods to them. Like Hercules or some shit. I turn Caleb's cum into a miracle healing elixir for any women nearby just by giving him a blowjob.

And that doesn't even mention my breastmilk. Only the sisterhood knows about the miracle breastmilk that cures major illnesses for men. They haven't figured out yet that it will also heal minor illnesses for anyone that suckles us. Not that I'd ever let any man except Caleb drink my milk, but still. And I'm a witch too. A witch Harem Queen. To them, that makes me doubly blessed. And they don't even know about the other normalities, like the one that makes the core harem bulletproof.

Caleb, my love, what the hell am I supposed to do with this woman? Why the hell is she afraid of me?

Glancing around the room she noticed the uncomfortable silence of the other students. Ever since June talked Caleb into skewing the number of men to women, Kathy's second period class was all girls, and they had been anticipating an orgy like the day before with High Priestess Hannah.

Looking at Heather, Kathy commanded, "Make sure everyone keeps the noise down. I'm going to take the teacher somewhere to calm down."

A few minutes later, Kathy and Lu stood in front of Priestess Tabitha in one of the unoccupied classrooms. Tabitha knelt upon the floor with her head down, unable to meet Kathy's gaze.

Kathy sighed, and crouched down to make herself look less imposing. "Tabitha, talk to us please. You don't need to be afraid of me. I love you. Can't you feel it?"

Tabitha didn't need to be told. She could feel Kathy's love pounding at her through the harem link, surrounding her, filling her like no other emotion ever had. She loved Kathy too, more than she'd ever loved any woman. Kathy's harem effect demanded that love, and Tabitha couldn't fight against it. And that only made her feel worse. Her lips trembled as she begged with a hitch in her tone, "Please... Stop... Loving me... I can't take it."

Kathy looked over at Lu, unable to comprehend the meaning of Tabitha's words, or why anyone would not want to feel love. Her bodyguard's expression offered no clue in how to help the poor woman before them.

Turning back to Tabitha, Kathy shook her head and softly said, "I sorry, but I can't do that. Everyone needs to be loved. We love you. Lu loves you too. I make sure everyone in all the harems loves each other. It's the one thing I demand from all the women that serve my King. Whatever is bothering you, just tell us. I'm sure it can't possibly be as bad as you think."

Lu crouched down as well, and soothed, "Sister, listen to me. Our Queen... Kathy is right. Whatever it is, we can work it out together. Talk to us. Tell us what is wrong."

Tabitha glanced up at Lu while her mind screamed. I can't! I mustn't! Why does she have to love me? Am I being punished? Have the Gods and Goddesses condemned me? Is this the penalty for my crime? This torturous anguish? This terrible, agonizing, excruciating love? I am unworthy of love! Not from a Harem Queen! Not this Harem Queen! I killed her father!

Tabitha began to tremble, a war being fought in her mind. Then that mind finally broke.

Lu barely raised her hands into a defensive posture when Tabitha lunged forward and knocked her on her ass. The hucat's hands instinctively went for the rifle slung over her shoulder, but that wasn't what Tabitha was after.

Lu kept a combat knife on her belt, and Tabitha had it out of it's sheath in seconds. With tears still streaming down her face, she looked up at Kathy and half muttered, half pleaded, "I'm sorry."

Then she stabbed the knife into her own throat, and with all the strength she could muster, sliced through her jugular veins.
