{Abigail}

I sat down on the bed in my dungeon bored out of my mind. I had enough of being here. I didn't know how long I'd been here. All I knew is that this place sucks! I hate being in confined places for long periods of time.

I looked down at the key that I had on a necklace around my neck. "Stupid fucking key! Stupid fucking dungeon! Stupid fucking Dr. Crow! Stupid!"

I took the necklace off and threw up against a nearby wall. I went over to it and when I saw it didn't break, I stomped on it and that didn't break it either. "Fine then! Be that way, you stupid motherfucker!"

I lost count on how many times I threw the necklace up against the wall. At one point the key lit up and I looked down to see it was around my neck again.

"Are you done yet?" Shinjin said. He was leaning up against the doorway just casually watching me throw my temper tantrum.

"No!" I snarled. "I won't be done until I destory this stupid key so I can wake up back in reality instead of being in this hell hole!"

Shinjin sighed. He closed the door to the dungeon and sat down on the bed next to me. "Unfortunately, you won't be able to destroy that key no matter how hard you try."

"Great," I said, "exactly what is this stupid key for anyway? To torture me? Well good job Government!"

Shinjin shook his head. "The keys were made for the Diamonds to help them with three things, one to regain their memories that they lost when they came here, two to help you unlock your powers so you can get past puberty so you can summon your wolf form and your fangs at will and the third reason is so you can shed your human body and become who you were before this happened to you."

"Exactly how do you know this?" I asked.

"I know because I was there when everything started happening," said Shinjin, "the first Diamond I saw this happen to was Dr. Crow believe it or not. He wandered into my family's nest when he came to earth. Eventually he forgot who he was and everything was locked away inside a key. No, I didn't do that to him, his powers did it to him. We still have no idea why that happened. But if it happened to you, it probably happened to all of the other Diamonds that escaped here after their planet was destroyed.

"Once you shed your human body, you won't need the key anymore. As a matter of fact, the key will disappear."

"So I take it Dr. Crow shed his human body?" I asked.

Shinjin nodded. "Yup! He did, and he totally changed into a ruthless badass and I'm going to assume that's who he really was before he transformed into a human. It's because he's so ruthless that's why he does the things he wants to do. I actually admire him for that. But at the same time, I don't always agree with some of his choices. When it comes down to Dr. Crow when he wants something, he'll get it one way or another. So there's really no reasoning with him. You know what they say, if you can't beat them, join them."

I scoffed. "I beg to differ on that! There's no way in hell I'm joining Dr. Crow on anything and I don't care he's not my step-dad! The guy's gross and messed up in the head and he really needs to and I mean REALLY needs to die!"

Shinjin shrugged. "Suit yourself, Dr. Crow did say you were very stubborn even before you got changed into a human. You were a strong willed child even when your father was still king. That's why you were handpicked to be the leader of the Princes and Princesses that made up the police force on the Diamond planet. I must say though the Diamond culture is very dark and if anyone choose to rise up against the king and the king had not stepped down from the throne, that would be considered treason and your police force would be the ones to discipline them."

"Exactly how would I discipline someone that committed treason?" I questioned, "Especially since you can't kill a Diamond?"

"I don't know," replied Shinjin, "but I'm pretty sure you guys had your ways in dealing with that. Honestly, I'm glad I'm not a Diamond, your culture is completely fucked up. And I thought vampires were bad!"

I rolled my eyes. "No kidding! I don't want to be a Diamond, fuck that!"

Shinjin snorted. "Yeah you couldn't erase who you are even if you wanted to. Getting rid of your memories won't help either. You are who you are and you have to accept that."

"Yeah as I just said, fuck that!" I snarled.

"Good luck telling yourself to fuck off." Shinjin chuckled, "Yup look in the mirror and smash it a couple of times, yup that'll teach you to mess with you!"

I paused. "No comment…"

"Oh that reminds me," said Shinjin, "Dr. Crow is coming for a visit today."

I tilted my head, "What for? To do the same thing he always does when he visits?"

Shinjin shook his head. "I don't know and for whatever the reason he wants me to stick around for it."

I rolled my eyes and said with sarcasm, "Hurray a threesome! I'm so happy!"

Shinjin snorted and right on cue there was a knock on the door. Shinjin answered it and Dr. Crow came in with a goofy grin on his face. "Ah, Princess Black! It's so nice to see that you're feeling better now!"

I gagged. "I thought I told you I'm not fucking royalty! And stop calling me Princess Black!"

Dr. Crow pinched the top of his nose and groaned, "Really now? That's your name so get used to it!"

"Yeah, yeah whatever," I said, "let's get this over with already!"

"Wow," said Dr. Crow, "you say that like sex with me is horrible!"

I laughed because Dr. Crow seemed truly offended by what I just said. "Oh yeah it's horrible, considering I don't want it! So yeah go ahead and do it already."

I started to get undressed but Dr. Crow grabbed my hand to stop me. "Oh no child, we don't do this on your terms! We do it on my terms! And no that's not what I'm here for exactly."

I raised an eyebrow. "Okay then. What are you here for?"

Dr. Crow took out of his pants pocket a long white crystal that looked like a crystal prism. "This is called a Breeding Crystal."

I paused. "Say what now?"

I looked over to see that Shinjin had a look of horror on his face. "Dr. Crow I don't think she's-"

Dr. Crow rolled his eyes. "Oh ready for this? Yup she is!"

"Okay," I said, "what is that thing? And what are you going to do with it?"

"It's time I explain to you the mating rituals of the Diamonds," said Dr. Crow, "remember when I said both males and female Diamonds can get pregnant?"

I nodded.

Dr. Crow continued, "Well both male and female Diamonds have sperm and eggs. Even so you still need a partner to give birth to create a baby. Now if you don't want to get pregnant that's fine, your magic will make it so you don't get pregnant. However, if your partner wants to get pregnant, there's nothing you can do to stop it.

"This breeding crystal helps collect sperm and an egg from both partners. It mixes the two so the end result will be a baby. But just like human babies, a Diamond baby needs to be carried by someone for a certain amount of time before they're born. In order for a Diamond baby to be put inside someone you have to drink what's been collected from this crystal."

I practically threw up in my mouth when I realized what Dr. Crow was talking about. "No way am I getting pregnant by you and I'm not carrying the baby! No thank you!"

Dr. Crow laughed, "Who said you were going to carry the baby?"

My eyes went wide in terror. "You mean to tell me…"

Dr. Crow nodded and smiled. "Yup! That's right! I'm going to be carrying the baby! I'm going to be pregnant by you! I think you'll make a wonderful mother and I will be the best father there ever was!"

I swallowed, suddenly I felt like I had a pit in my stomach and a lump in my throat. "So exactly how is this going to happen?"

"Well now you can get undressed," responded Dr. Crow, he turned to Shinjin, "and Shinjin, you can undress now too!"

Shinjin sat there frozen in terror and I knew if he was terrified and what was getting ready to happen, I should be terrified too. Truth be told, I don't scare that easily but situations like this I was truly terrified.

"Now Shinjin!" Dr. Crow barked.

"Okay, okay!" Shinjin said. He finally brought himself to get undressed. I followed suit.

Shinjin pulled me onto his lap and held me tightly. Dr. Crow got undressed and climbed on top of us. He licked his lips seductively which only intensified my terror. And the nightmare just keeps getting worse by the minute!

"Hmm, don't worry," said Dr. Crow in a gentle tone of voice, "this will all be over soon and you'll be able to rest, that is unless Shinjin wants to have fun with you next? Sometimes after this takes place all parties involved tend to keep being horny. Sometimes people even have orgies after this happens. Although you two have to be turned on to make this more enjoyable."

Dr. Crow bit Shinjin and I felt him relax after he was bit. No, don't!

"Ssssh!" Dr. Crow shushed me. He bit me next and then I felt myself get horny after that. I wanted to suppress the feeling as much as possible. But there was no way that was going to happen.

I bit Dr. Crow and he moaned. "That's right, you're starting to like this aren't you?"

I responded by biting him again because I really feel like talking or thinking for that matter. I grunted a couple of times when the crystal was thrust into me and Shinjin panted into my ear. Every time I bit Dr. Crow, Dr. Crow returned the favor by biting me. I lost count on how many times I climaxed into to the crystal and it didn't seem like the sex was going to stop anytime soon. I didn't even bother to beg for it to stop because I knew if I did then Dr. Crow would just keep going and it would be more rough than before.

"Sssh," Dr. Crow whispered, "one more orgasm from you and it'll be done."

Once again, I responded by biting him. The last time I came, I screamed because it was so intense and all I wanted was for it to stop. That's never happened to me before. Last time I checked, climaxing during sex is supposed to be the best part. The climax this time was not fun in the slightest. I actually hated it. The oragsm literally knocked the wind out of me.

After everything was said and done, Dr. Crow held me and Shinjin and sighed a contented sigh. I just stayed there, trying to catch my breath.

"Now that was interesting." Dr. Crow said, "While it was fun for me it didn't seem like it was fun for you two."

I didn't say anything. At the moment I was still trying to catch my breath and it was even more painful when Dr. Crow pulled the crystal out of me for the last time. I screamed as I orgasmed again. This one was painful.

Shinjin held me tightly as I rode the orgasm out. Dr. Crow put a hand on my abdomen. "Sssh! It should be over with soon, hmm this should help with the pain."

I felt a warm feeling wash over me but it still didn't help with the pain.

Dr. Crow got off me and examined me and he actually had a look of concern on his face. "Now that's never happened before, maybe this is happening because you just hit puberty a few weeks ago? I think I'll do some tests on you to see why this happened."

Finally, the orgasm stopped. I just stayed where I was yet again trying to catch my breath. I felt like I had just run a marathon and endured a war at the same time.

Dr. Crow got dressed and placed the breeding crystal in his pants pocket. "When I'm doing the testing on you I'm going to do something that will keep you by my side forever. As it stands at the moment I have released you from the Fog. In three weeks time I will put you back underneath the Fog and you'll be my little slave once again. Honestly I think it would be better if you obeyed me willingly."

"And why would I do that?" I snarled.

Dr. Crow gave me a sinister smile and I heard Shinjin whimper, "Please don't do that!"

Dr. Crow laughed wickedly, "Ha! If I didn't know any better Shinjin, I'd say you have feelings for the Princess!"

"No I don't!" Shinjin said quickly. A little too quickly if you ask me. Yeah sorry Shinjin my heart belongs to someone else.

"I don't have feelings for her Dr. Crow! Honestly I don't! I would never-" Shinjin said.

Dr. Crow gave a sinister smile. "Oh but you do have feelings for her! It's okay, I don't mind. I had a feeling that you would fall for her when I sent you to her. Trust me, if it were someone else, then I would mind. I sent you to her because I wanted to share her with you. Just like I'm going to share Prince Silver with you when I get my hands on him!"

"But I'm not-" Shinjin protested.

Dr. Crow said, "Yeah I know. But you'll be into Prince Silver when you get a taste of him in bed."

"Oh hell no!" I roared. "You're not getting your hands on him you bastard!"

Dr. Crow pouted. "Aww that's so cute! Yeah, keep talking! But I will have him and you know what? He will bear the other child we'll get from you!"

"Why?" I said.

"Why?" Dr. Crow answered. "Well it's simple, number one you don't want to get pregnant or carry the child so it won't be happening for you. Oh no, I have something else in mind for you."

"And what makes you think that Prince Silver will even want to carry the baby?" I snarled. "Because I doubt he'll do that!"

Dr. Crow laughed diabolically, "Because I'll make him a deal that he can't refuse! I bet he'll take it especially since it'll involve you dear Princess!"

"So exactly what are you going to do to me besides put me underneath the Fog again?" I asked.

"The simple answer is another weapon that I've developed and I've only used it once." Dr. Crow replied, "I used it as a test but on a non-Diamond. I used it on a human. It worked quite nicely. It's a little something I like to call Brainwashing."

I blinked. "Brainwashing?"

Dr. Crow nodded. "Oh yes, the name's pretty self explanatory! I'll make it so you love me so much that you'll want to be around me 24/7! Then you'll won't view sex with me as horrible, you'll crave it! You'll long for it and you won't be able to get enough of it!"

At this point Shinjin was shaking like a leaf. I had no idea why the Brainwashing weapon scared him so much.

"Anyway," said Dr. Crow, "I think you should let the Princess rest Shinjin and she'll need to be fed again soon. Having sex with the Breeding Crystal can take a lot out of you. I'm kind of tired myself." He yawned. "I think I'll rest for the rest of the day and I'll eat something myself."

"Before you go I have another question," I said.

Dr. Crow looked at me. "What is it?"

"How long have I been here?" I asked. "It's been so long or at least it feels that way."

He smiled. "Almost a month."

"One month?" I squeaked.

Dr. Crow nodded. "Mhm, one month and don't worry I'll let you out for some fresh air when everything's said and done. Until next time Princess."

He turned around and left the room.

* * *

Once Dr. Crow left, Shinjin was still shaking and I was trying to process the brizzare conversation that Dr. Crow and I just had. I wanted to get off of Shinjin's lap but I wasn't sure if he wanted that at the moment. Just to be sure if Shinjin wanted me off his lap, I started to get up but he held me tightly. He grabbed the blanket sitting on the bed next to us and covered us with it.

"What's wrong Shinjin?" I asked. "Why are you so scared?"

Shinjin started shaking even harder and I thought for sure he was going to pass out on me.

"Shinjin!" I shrieked. "Answer me please!"

Shinjin took a couple of deep breaths and that made him stop shaking at least. "I was so hoping Dr. Crow wouldn't think of the brainwashing again! The test he did on that poor human was a disaster!"

"What are you talking about?" I said.

"The poor human that Dr. Crow tested on wound up to be so deranged that he needed to be put out of his misery!" Shinjin explained, "And I was the one tasked with killing him. Dr. Crow lied when he said that was the only test he did. I don't know why he did that, but he lied!"

"Okay," I said.

"He's used the Brainwashing on others," said Shinjin, "some of those tested on came out fine and now they're Dr. Crow's enteral slaves! But I did manage to undo the brainwashing for a couple of them. I only did it because I was trying to see if it could be undone. It can be undone."

"What, how?" I asked.

"A Star Crystal or the kiss of true love." Shinjin replied, "With one of the two I was able to undo the brainwashing with a Star Crystal but one of them I managed to undo the brainwashing with the kiss of true love."

"The kiss of true love?" I said.

"Yes," said Shinjin, "when I was undoing the brainwashing for the one of the ones that it had been done on, figured out that they were in love with someone. Because they kept saying their name over and over again. I was able to locate the person and they felt the same way about the one who was brainwashed. All the guy had to do was kiss her and she snapped back to reality and she was her old self again. It was a touching moment but I was so hoping that I wouldn't have to worry about brainwashing ever again."

"Okay," I said, "does Dr. Crow know you've betrayed him by undoing the brainwashing?"

"Yeah he knows," Shinjin responded, "because he asked me to do it. He knows how to undo it too. He wouldn't tell anyone how to undo it. He did say that I could tell anyone I want about it. I have no idea why he wants me to do that. This is one of his decisions that I don't agree with! I hate brainwashing!"

I didn't say anything and at this point I was speechless. The very fact that Dr. Crow knows how to undo the Brainwashing weapon or that he would even think to do such a thing on someone made him even worse than scum. He was just downright evil!

"From what I've seen, the Brainwashing distorts your view of reality," Shinjin said, "you don't know who you are anymore. Dr. Crow will make you think who you are the way he wants you to think about yourself."

"Oh." I sat there staring out into space. Why? How on earth could I have let myself get captured so easily? "It's my fault Shinjin."

Shinjin paused. "Huh?"

I sighed, "The fact that I'm even here to begin with is my fault. I should've factored in the fact that Dr. Crow might use the mind taser on me. I did walk boldly into his lair after all. Although I've done that plenty of times and he's tried to use the mind taser on me plenty of times too. What I'm wondering is why it got me this time to the point where it knocked me out? Not to mention I had another DA with me as backup."

Shinjin chuckled, "Yeah you're pretty stupid Abigail. It's even funnier because you and Dr. Crow have been playing the cat and mouse with each other for years!"

I tilted my head. "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Oh yeah," said Shinjin, "ever since the Battle for Shaw Castle, Dr. Crow has been dead set on catching you. You still are his top priority as a matter of fact, when Dr. Crow first got his memories back, you were the only thing he could think of. I swear if I had a dollar for every time he said your name before you started popping up in different places I'd be rich! Although I'm just Dr. Crow's best friend and nothing more. Trust me, I don't want to be anything more than a friend to him at all. But unfortunately, he took a liking to me in a way that I didn't like."

"Let me guess," I said through gritted teeth, "he assaulted you didn't he?"

"Yup, you guessed it." Shinjin replied. He gagged. "And he still does it! Now when I'm not taking care of you, he decides to take me into his bed. I hate having sex with him, he's such a pig about it too."

"If you ask me, Dr. Crow is always a pig and why he hasn't been led to the slaughter house yet is beyond me. Although I doubt anyone would want to eat his bacon!" I said.

Shinjin snorted. "I must admit, you do have quite the sense of humor."

"I guess so. At least my jokes aren't cheesy like Patty's are. Poor Ron! I wonder what torture she's putting him under with that right now?" I laughed.

"That bad huh?" Shinjin asked.

"Yup!" I replied.

Shinjin sighed. "Well now that I've calmed down a bit, I should go get you cleaned up and get you something to eat. I can take care of myself after that. Then you'll be free to sleep as long as you want."

I didn't realize how tired I was until Shinjin mentioned the very idea of sleep. I yawned. "Sleep sounds like a really good idea at the moment. Of course after that crappy painful experience I feel like I need a bath."

"Yeah I figured you might say that. Even though I don't want to, I'll let go of you and take care of things," Shinjin said.

* * *

Later that day after I was cleaned up, got a new change of clothes and blankets for my bed, and was given something to eat I was finally left alone. As soon as my head hit the pillow I fell asleep.

I found myself in that weird limbo connection place that Ron and I can talk to each other in. Ron immediately ran to me when he saw me. I fell into his arms and burst into tears.

"What did Dr. Crow do to you now?" Ron said.

"I don't even know how to describe it but…" I started to say. I didn't want to say it out loud.

"Try to," Ron pleaded, "talk to me I can help you deal with it."

I gulped. "Dr. Crow used something called a Breeding Crystal on me."

"A Breeding Crystal?" Ron said.

I nodded. "It's what Diamonds will use when they want to have a child. Did you know that both males and female Diamonds can get pregnant?"

Ron nodded. "Yeah Patty mentioned it to me in passing. I didn't want to believe it was true though."

"Oh it's true alright. Both male and female Diamonds have sperm and eggs. But you still need a partner to create a baby. The Breeding Crystal is used on both Diamonds to collect a sperm and an egg from each of them. The crystal mixes the sperm and the eggs from both Diamonds and that makes the baby. However, just like human babies, Diamond babies need to be carried by someone in their womb for a certain period of time," I answered.

Ron's eyes went wide in horror. "You mean you're going to-"

"I'm going to become a mother sooner or later but not in the way you think I will." I said.

Ron tilted his head. "Huh?"

"If a Diamond doesn't want to get pregnant then they won't be able to carry the baby against their will. Their powers will suppress that ability. Dr. Crow is the one who wants to be pregnant by me and he will be the one to carry the baby. And…" I trailed off on that last part of my sentence.

"And what?" Ron said.

I gulped, "In three weeks, Dr. Crow's going to use something other than the Fog on me. He has a weapon that he calls Brainwashing. The name's pretty self explanatory. I won't be me anymore. I'll be whoever Dr. Crow wants me to be. I hope we don't lose this connection but if I'm not me anymore..." I shuddered and couldn't stop myself from crying. I didn't think I could stop my tears from falling down my face anytime soon.

"You're worried the brainwashing will sever this connection?" Ron asked.

I nodded.

"Oh Abigail," said Ron, "I talked to Patty about this and she said this connection only happens when there's true love involved. Even if we do lose this connection because of that I'm sure we'll get it back because of our love for each other. Abigail, I love you!"

"Ron, I love you too!" I cried. I barely managed to get the words out. I was crying so hard.

Ron sighed, "You know what? I think we should come up with a code phrase."

"A code phrase?" I questioned. "What are you talking about?"

"You know something we will both remember," said Ron, "so that way after the brainwashing occurs, deep underneath the cloud Dr. Crow has you under. I can use that to pull you out and return you back to your real self. Not the self that Dr. Crow wants you to be."

"Okay then," I said.

"I already have an idea for one." Ron smiled. "I think our code phrase should be, 'come back to me'."

I dried my tears and nodded. "Come back to me huh? That's perfect! Thank you Ron!"

"Oh and one more thing Abigail," Ron said.

"What?" I asked.

"I slept with Asher," Ron said. He blushed and looked away.

I snorted. "Wow, I can't believe you actually did it! I'm glad you have someone that knows what's going on. Asher is quite the actor isn't he? I know I'm not going to let him live that one down if I get back."

Ron shook his head. "Don't say if Abigail! You WILL get back and you can count on that! I won't rest until you're safe in my arms again. I don't care how long it takes, I WILL find you! Okay? Please, whatever you do, don't lose hope."

I nodded. I knew Ron was being serious but I still felt uncertain. I felt that weird sensation in the back of my head. Then I woke up gasping for air.
