Chapter 2

He woke to the sounds of chirping birds. He looked at the ceiling not remembering how he got inside, the last thing that he remembered was tending to one of the warriors. He went to sit up, but something was wrong, he looked to his side to see what was holding his arm back. To his surprise the first girl he had healed the day before was gripping tightly to his arm, her soft hair lying against his hand. He looked down to his chest, Tanua and Pelana were both cuddled into his chest, their happy faces made him smile slightly. The smile faded though as he realised, he could feel Pelana’s leg against his naked crouch. He tried to remember what happened the night before. He racked his brain for his dazed memories, he remembered the Amazonians sacrificing a young blond woman, he remembered the disgust he had felt (and was starting to feel again), he remembered the strong drink Pelana had given him.

“SHIT” he whispered sternly to himself. Did they rape him? He knew they were probably evil, but would they do something like that… He remembered the girl he saw roasting over a fire like a pig. The idea of them raping him wasn’t out of the question. He looked around, examining a route for him to escape from under the young woman. He couldn’t see a clear route. He had Tanua and Pelana on both sides of his chest Pelana was gripping tightly to one of his arms, the other arm had the girl he had healed first gripping to it and using it as a pillow.

He was too busy trying to think of an escape route to notice the waking Pelana. She watched him slyly as she licked his chest her eyes fixed on his face. He jumped slightly, squealing in surprise as he did so. She moved up his body to see his face.

“d… did you… did you do anything to me?” He said his voice trembling. Jaison looked away shyly as he noticed her large naked breast.

“Do what to you?” She said teasing him, she understood what was going through his head, she understood that he thought she had her way with him while he slept. For a fact she didn’t have her way with him, but I would be lying if I said it didn’t cross her mind to fondle him a little, but as I said she ultimately decided not to.

“r... rape” She laughed and started to climb out of the bed.

“I won’t lie to you, I thought of it, but I nor my two sisters here laid a finger on you” She dragged him carefully out of the bed to not wake the other two girls. She reached into a large box next to the bed, she pulled out his pant (underwear), shirt, socks, and trousers. She threw the clothes to him before beginning to dress. Jaison hurriedly pulled on his clothes, while Pelana watched, smiling slightly at his blushing face.

“Where will you go after you heal my warriors?” She asked passing him his black jacket. He took the Jacket quickly and pulled it on.

“Sorry, but I feel like I can’t tell you that. If you don’t mind, I need to go and get ready for work.” He said walking towards the exit of the hut, still visually embarrassed by showing such weakness around a warrior woman, his face was bright in a red blush, his hair slightly sweaty. A hand tightly grabbed his arm, twisting it behind his back.

“You have not eaten, you also haven’t washed, I also think that if we are to work together, I should learn more about you my… guest” Her accent made her words sound soft and gentle yet still stern and slightly threatening.

“Fine, but twisting my arm wasn’t necessary.” He let her walk him outside and over to a small wooden table, and pair of chairs that was set up under a cloth gazebo that sat upon a mini nearby hill. She walked him up the hill, Jaison stretching his arm that Pelana had bent.

He looked across the wooden table, he had to admit it was well crafted, but then again, they had probably stolen it from a village they had raided. He pulled back one of the chairs and sat down, a young, kind native in a brown cloth skirt and top placed a drink onto the table, another girl poured a strong-smelling green drink into the clay cup. Pelana sat down across from him, and the two servers gave her a drink of the same liquid. They walked off but soon came back with 3 plates of food, they placed the food on the table. He was slightly confused to see the plates were just pieces of bread and fruit. He was sure that eating meat was an excessively big bit of the native diet. He watched as the two girls started to make a small fire, once the fire was made, they made two small Y-shaped pillars on either side of the fire. They walked off again and came back with a living bird.

“You didn’t trust us when we said the meat, we tried to give you yesterday was a bird, so we cook this for you today” She leaned her arms on the table, crossing her hands and resting her chin onto her hands. She pushed a plate of bread towards him, as she started to chomp into it. He slowly put the bread to his lips, considering if he could trust this woman. Pelana noticed he wasn’t eating, she leaned forwards and shove the bread into his mouth. He ate the bread and remembered back to the night before, he remembered the woman cooking over the fire. He looked over the girls prospering to cook the bird, and he could feel his appetite leaving him. He looked up to Pelana who had her eyes locked onto him like she was studying his expressions.

“Something is wrong?” She asked leaning towards him. Jaison responded with a solemn nod.

“Tell me,” Pelana said leaning even closer, her breast slightly peeking out her shirt, causing Jaison to look away as a blush came over his face. Pelana smiled slightly, she didn’t know why but she liked it when he made that face.

“I would like to make a deal” Jaison said, he knew what he was about to say could get him punished by this Amazonian leader, but it was worth the risk.

“Well,” She said sitting back and staring at him, a curious look on her face.

“How many warriors and how many prisoners do you have, I mean here right now.” Pelana thought for a second before speaking.

“I have 600 warriors and 80 slaves, why ask?” The two girls came over and started to place the bird meat onto their plates.

“The girl that was sleeping on my arm last night was a member of the royal guard, right?” He said a serious look on his face. Pelana sat back, slightly impressed by what he had figured out. She nodded confirming what he had said.

“Once I heal the warriors there, I would like to try and heal the other warriors you have, but on the condition for every 20 people, I heal you let 8 captives go” She leaned back and thought for a second.

“What would you gain? I and my warriors would lose some captives but in exchange, we will all have better health, so what will you gain from his agreement.” She was again amazed at how overly kind this weird man was.

“Nothing, it’s a medics duty to look after and save people, and in this case, I will be doing both,” Jaison said smiling kindly, as he started to eat a piece of the bird, his appetite slowly returning to him.

“That weird bread that I ate from your bag, how was it made.” He thought for a second, not knowing what this had to do with his proposal.

“You mean the croissant, my grandfather taught me how to make them, if you like I can give you the recipe,” Jaison said gesturing to the medical hut, where he had left his bag.

“I will agree to your term on a few conditions,” Pelana said as a sly grin came over her face.

“1. You will make more of those foods for me and my blood sisters, and the second one I am still thinking of” he nodded in agreement.

“As you can guess this will mean you will have to come back to my home city of a while.” despite not wanting to be around this terrifying yet seductive woman for any longer he knew this would probably be his best choice if he was to save the captives.

“Deal,” Jaison said, putting on his best smile. He stuck out his hand in a friendly gesture of their agreement. She took his hand and quickly shook it.

“Be careful around my sister though, they may get a little excited with you as our new… Guest and they may try to… Break you” She said, her seductive native accent being oddly calming.

“But I will teach them that I found you, and I am the one that brought you back to the tribe. This means that I will own you once we arrive at my city and you will be under my care and protection.” She reached forward and gently stroked his cheek.

“Do not worry, I won’t let any harm come to you my…” She narrowed her eyes and thought for a few seconds.

“I think acquaintance is the word you are looking for.” He said smiling nervously, pulling back from the overly touchy girl. He thought to himself about what she had just said, what did she mean by ‘own’ and ‘break’ he sighed, not understanding what he had just got himself into. Jaison looked towards the medical tent to see Tanua getting herself ready to treat the warriors, he realised he could probably use this as an excuse to leave.

“Thank you very much Pelana for the meal, but I am afraid that I must get started with my work” He stood up and gave a small bow of thanks towards her, pulled out his watch to check the time, and began to walk off. He only got a few steps before a hand wrapped around his right hand.

“Jaison, I don’t remember saying you could leave, and you still haven’t washed yet.” Her voice was sharp and seductive, the two servant girls forced him back into his chair. He ate the rest of his meal alone side Pelana, her captivating eyes fixed onto him the entire time.

“You humans are a remarkably interesting species. The demi-humans are hunters and gathers, not warriors like my kind. Elves are fast, they are smart, noble but again not as good of warriors as my sisters and me. The Lamias and are a fast and good fighter but are dumb much like the harpies. But you humans are such a mysterious species, you hide within your cities, when we capture your warriors no matter the torture or pain, they do not tell us your secrets, all the non-human tribes including my our own find your kind to be exotic and interesting. Your people make good pets and slaves, many tribes see your kind as a status symbol, which is one of the reasons we sometimes sell your kind off to the other tribes for… unspeakable amounts of profit.” He was so transfixed on her eyes he hadn’t noticed her gently stroking his slightly greasy hair making his hair look browner than its clean reddish colour.

“Humans are automatically hostile to us, but you. You look after us, maybe not like us but you don’t dislike us, correct?”

“Correct, you can’t hate someone based on their upbringing and culture, I hate your culture around war, rape, and other unspeakable, but no, I don’t hate you.” He answered. She nodded slightly.

“I see, you’re even more interesting than I thought”.

“I have an idea of the second thing that I want from you, but let’s discuss that after our bath.” She jumped up, a devilish smile on her face.

“w- w... w…w... Wait what do you mean ours?!!?” he stumbled over his feet as well as his words as she started to drag him off. She looked back at his heavily blushing face and smiled to herself. She didn’t know why but the idea of bathing with this weird man. Most humans she had met were stubborn, weak without their complicated weapons, and highly hateful towards the Amazonians. But he was different, he cared for the injured he is even willing to place himself in a potentially life-threatening situation by coming back to her city, but he didn’t care, if he can save some selfish humans, he was willing to do anything.

Pelana and her two-attendance dragged Jaison down to a large, calm, welcoming-looking lake that hid among the thick jungle. She walked over to the edge of the water and began to strip off her clothes. Once buck naked she turned quickly to face him, her hair flipping high as she did so. She walked forward and stroked his face gently, taking great enjoyment from his shy expression. She smiled and began to take undress him as her two guards held him still.

“P…Pelana, please, I can undress” He squeaked, avoiding his gaze from her large warm looking breasts. She laughed and threw her arms around his neck.

“For some reason, I doubt that.” She said unbuckling his belt and dragging down his trousers. She smiled her signature devilish smile as she gripped his pants (underwear) dragging them down to his feet. She moved her head back slightly when his erect cock jumped out at her.

“It was not this big last night,” She said smiling slightly, quickly ruby a trickle of blood that came out of her nose, a little look of confusion on her face. She pulled off his socks and shoes lastly. She jumped up, her usual seductive look was gone and instead, she had a bubbly childlike enthusiasm as she walked him into the lake. The cool water felt calming as he slowly lowered his body down onto the surprisingly clean and smooth stones. Pelana turned her back to him and shot herself back into his chest.

“Wash my back,” She said turning her head to look at him, her eyes glowed a bright red for a few seconds. A jolt of calmness shot through him as he started to wash her back. He knew that some Amazonians possessed a special kind of magic, a magic that could either make someone feel an indescribable feeling of blissful calm or a feeling of undivided dread and hate.

“Since you and I will be working together we will have to spend time together like this so that we can bond a bond of trust.” She said pulling his legs around her waist.

“I will wash your legs,” She said as she gently began to scrub his thigh.

“Could I ask you a favor Pelana” He said she ordered him to start washing her hair.

“Depends,” she said as she started to wash his lower leg.

“Those eyes you used on me, the transfixed I think you call them; I would prefer you wouldn’t use them on me” She snapped around to face him, making him jump slightly. Her face was back to its usual seductive, foxy vixen look. She gave out a little huff and turned away, visibly annoyed.

“Fine, but you will have to do something in exchange.” He couldn’t see her face, but from guessing what she has been like for the last few days he could easily guess she was smiling her evil smile while plotting something up. He shivered slightly at the thought of what she could be thinking. She turned around to face him. Naturally, he wanted to look at her lush round breast but out of politeness, he darted his eyes to the side. Pelana gently placed a hand on the side of the cheek and turned his face to look at her. He looked into her eyes; they were a mixture of emotions. He could see kindness and generosity but also sadism and cruelty.

“Your cute.” She said leaning in closer to him. He blushed even more than he already was and tried to move back, just to bump into the nude body of one of the servant girls.

“In exchange for not using my transfixed on you, you will finish this bath then take me back to my hut, where you shall give me a massage.” She looked to her two servants who quickly hurried off to prepare. They finished their bath, both cleaning their privates in private, sadly to the disappointment of Pelana who wanted to see what she could do to him before he started to freak out.

“Funny virgin human,” She said to herself quietly as she remembered the feeling of his body pressed up against hers.

“Did you just call me a virgin?” He asked turning slightly towards her.

“Well, are you~,” she said flirtatiously.

“Fuck off… maybe” He whispered in her direction. Jaison finished his bath and swam towards the edge of the lake.

“I am going to go get dressed, I will be in the medical tents, so come and get me if you need anything,” He said as he tried to sneak out. As if she had teleported to him, Pelana gripped his arm and pulled him back into the water with a loud splash.

“You can’t get out of giving me a massage. You should be grateful; I know men that would kill thousands to even touch me let alone rub my back.” She said as she pulled him out of the water and into her arms. She held him for a while against her naked chest before letting him sit up.

“Please, don’t-”

“Don’t do what? Touch you? I thought men liked it when a beautiful woman touched them?” she said pressing herself against his chest, but before she could sit there for too long, Jaison grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back. Under any other circumstance, she could have easily stopped him but the surprise that he was going against her made her slightly confused.

“Please don’t do that, it makes me nervous.” She smiled and moved back; her eyes still locked on him.

“I want to ask some questions about you,” she said, her face growing into a mixture of seriousness and intrigue.

“First, where are you from, do you have family there, things like that,” He thought for a second.

“I Am from a city called A92, it’s also known as the city of thieves. As for family, I have none, I haven’t even really had one” She was slightly taken back. This overly innocent young man didn’t strike her as someone who never had a loving family, let alone come from a city of thieves.

“Do you have siblings?” She questioned. As someone who had grown up with a loving and caring family, living her whole life either on the battlefield, in her palace, or in the festival huts, singing, dancing, and drinking with her friends. She couldn’t understand somewhere like a city of thieves would produce such a kind and gentle creature. Jaison solemnly shook his head, his gaze fell to the ground as if he were wondering what could have been, if only he had a family.

“No, I am an only child, I don’t even know what my last name is” a small tear rolled down his cheek, he quickly wiped it away and beamed a forced smile. She frowned and placed a hand on his head, returning a smile of her own, but hers was much warmer than his.

“You still haven’t washed your hair, allow me to help, I want to ask you more questions as well,” She said as she saw around to his back. She started to rub water into his hair, Jaison smiled slightly, he had to admit she was good.

“How old do you think I am?” She asked as she moved back to grab a bowl of a native shampoo one of the servant girls had brought over. She started to gently rub the flowery scented mixture into his hair.

“Like 20, or something around that age,” he said, again this was just a guest, after all, allspices whether they be human, elf, or amazon they didn’t age. As you can guess, because of this it is practically impossible to tell if someone is 20 or 20,000. Pelana giggled as she hugged him from behind.

“You see I ask this because I am 200, and for the first time in those 200 years I don’t feel disgusted towards a human, let alone a male. You are the first human man I don’t hate.” He gulped as he felt something wrap around his waist. He was flung into the air. He tried to fight back but he quickly found that he couldn’t move them either.

“I know what else I want from you, I want you, I want you to become mine, become my pet, toy… friend” She smiled kindly at him, her beautiful smooth skin shone in the little sunlight that burst through the trees. Before Jaison could reject this offer Pelana swung over onto his lap, activated her transfixed eyes, as she locked her lips with his. He wanted to dart away from her, he wanted to tell her he didn’t feel love towards her, he wanted to say so much but the power of the transfixed eyes made him weak. He looked down at his arms and realised why he couldn’t move, vines were wrapped around him, constricting his movement. She let loose of his lips and sat back, examining her prey.

“Let’s go do that massage now.” She clicked her fingers and the vines soon released him, he quickly took the offer and climbed out and pulled on his clothes. Pelana close behind him.

“Sorry, I got a little carried away and used my Transfixed eyes. We Amazonians mate for eternity, so once we have fallen in love with someone.” She walked in front of Jasion and flirtatiously grabbed his thigh for a split second and leaned into his ear.

“We never let them go, and we never get bored of them” she excitedly grabbed his hand and started to drag him back to the hut. They quickly reached the entrance of the hut, but just before Pelana could drag him inside the voice of Tanua quickly called out to them.

“Jaison, I need your help now!” She yelled running to his side and grabbing his arm. Pelana narrowed her eyes angrily at Tanua.

“Can it wait, I am currently trying to claim our pet” Pelana said trying to drag him into the hut, but again Tanua dragged him in the opposite direction.

“No, a scout got attacked by a monster and are seriously injured,” Tanua said, her eyes the most serious he had seen them. Seeing an excuse to get out of this quickly escalating situation the Pelana had put him into and naturally also wanting to help he quickly jumped to Tanua’s side.

“Look she’s right, I should go take a look” He had to admit he was scared slightly at the look of annoyance that Pelana shot at him as she reluctantly let go of his arm. He quickly darted off with Tanua towards the medical tent, the entire time Pelana watching with a look of anger in her eyes. He shook off her gaze and entered the hut.

His eyes were automatically drawn to the head warrior, her back was badly scratched, to say the least. Three large claw marks were running down her back, luckily it just looked to be grazed, if the cuts were any deeper, she would have died. He rushed to her side and beamed a smile at her. But before he could ask her about her condition Tanua spoke.

“I could have done this myself, Jenkari has a bad habit of getting herself into danger, but I saw you with Pelana and well she can be over-excited sometimes.” He looked around at her, slightly confused on why she would go against her leader, after all, amazons were an incredibly loyal people. She could probably understand what he was thinking as she began to speak.

“I usually don’t get involved in things like this, but you are the first human, let alone a man she has ever shown interest in (because she usually hates both). When you aren’t looking, I can see a look of admiration. Admiration is good in theory but to amazons, it is an extremely dangerous thing, especially when they feel it towards someone who isn’t of the same tribe let alone gender or race. There is a good chance you are the first person she has ever shown admiration towards, so just be a little careful.” Tanua said as she began to treat the head warrior Jenkari’s wounds.

“You saved my life back there; she was going on about how she wanted me as some kind of pet or slave. I am also piety sure she was going to try to sleep with me, which would be nice if not terrifying for me.” Both the girls laughed slightly, but not for the reason he thought.

“Her majesty is a bit forceful with you, we both think we need to be a bit slower with you if you are to become our pet, well our willing pet that is.” Jenkari walked over to him and planted a soft kiss on his lips. She was almost as beautiful as Pelana, she was a little taller than her making her about the same height as him.

“Sorry, but what do you mean by a pet?” he asked as she tried to move back, but Jasion was suddenly stopped as she wrapped her athletic arms around his shoulders. She moved back in to kiss him again, but he quickly slipped out of her grasp. But then he found himself in the grasp of Tanua’s more feminine grasp.

“We mean that you will soon come back to our city, you will become the pet of her majesty, and us, her loyal friends of the cause.” both girls smiled as they backed him into a corner literal as well as metaphorical.

“But it seems that you are less submissive than we originally thought. Don’t worry though we don’t plan to harm you or force you to do anything you don’t want, unlike her majesty. The servants told us about the agreement you have with the princess, we agree to it and once you are finished helping our warriors, we will let your people go.” Tanua said, backing away from him, her calm collected face was back. Jenkari sniffed his coat.

“My hunter intercedes tell me that you are very scared. You don’t need to be, but I don’t blame you, you humans are easily scared.” She said as she moved back to the medical table. Then Jaison realised something, they kept referring to Pelana as her majesty.

“Could I ask you a question” The two girls looked at each other and nodded yes in response.

“Why do you keep called Pelana her majesty?” The room fell silent as if he had just told them he had killed and pissed on their entire family and extended family. He gulped as he quickly realised, he shouldn’t have asked.

“Pelana didn’t want us to tell you this since she has hunted for you for so long.” Tuna said as she turned to face him.

“3 years ago, when you were just a recruit healer, you were off on a walk when you found an injured girl. You saved her, treated her for a few days in secret. That girl was the crown princess of the Amazonian empire of Tetalan, the princess since then has watched you and your Warband… No scout army yes? She makes a Large Warband and follows you in secret for those years, slowly picking off villages and armies that tried to help you, so when you split your forces in half we attacked. Long story short you came back to the field.” He sat in shock as he slowly processed this information. Tanua noticed and walked over to him, placing a gentle hand on the top of his head ruffling his wet hair.

“To be honest, it was a total coincidence that you found her, and only on the way back did she realise who you were. The great war princess Pelana, the person who has killed hundreds of thousands now has the man she has lusted for in her clasp, all she needs to do is return you safely to our home, where she will make you out… pet. I say this because as I am the high healer of our tribe, and Jenkari is the head of the royal guards, even though she is stupid, we will become your… owners” He gulped as he came to the realisation that he had walked into a trap. Him coming there was just a trap (even if it didn't work like it was originally expected to), he had to admit it was an amazingly done trap, but a terrifying trap non the less.

He sat down in a nearby chair, placing his head in his hands. He couldn’t say why but he found himself sobbing into his jacket sleeves. He pulled his head up and looked at the ceiling of the tent, he then slammed his head back down into his hands, contemplating hitting himself over his own foolish kindness. What the fuck had he gotten himself into.
