“Well Thomas, I am all yours. What are you going to do with me?”

As soon as the question left my lips the smirk came back to his face. He was enjoying the show and he had every intention of claiming his prize. He took his fingers and placed them in the waistband of his briefs and pulled them down. What I saw was the most amazing sight I have ever seen in my whole life.

This man could only be described as a man built to be the image of what a god should look like. His body was muscled hard everywhere you looked. I took in his body from top to bottom. I make my way down until I see the impressive length that is standing at full attention. I will be honest that I don’t have much to compare it to but I have accidentally seen a few over the years and I have to say I have never seen anything like this. I study him as if he were a statue on display for my personal viewing. He was long and wide with pulsing veins showing the train that he was unde

    CoraI awake the next morning to the sunlight peeking its way through the curtains. I feel Thomas’s heat wrapped around me like I am a butterfly in a cocoon. His shallow breathes hit the back of my head and I smile to myself knowing that he is exhausted from last night.I look over at the clock to see that it is past ten in the morning and find myself panicking thinking that we have overslept and are going to be late. I turn in his arms and try to wake him.“Thomas. Thomas. We are late. Please wake up.” I feel him stir and I can tell that he is fighting to go back to sleep. I continue my assault on him to wake up when I notice that he is grinning that mischievous grin that he sometimes gets. This man is enjoying man panic!I start to pull myself from his arms when he wraps them tighter around me and chuckles. His eyes open and I see the sparkle in them showing that he is having fun at my expense.“Baby it’s the weekend

    ThomasAfter hours of debating the plan finally fell into place. Cora and I are to continue to lead on Michael and Megan getting them to trust us as much as possible before we leave for our trip. The problem is going to be keeping them from trying to get to physical. I know that I can handle myself but I am worried that Michael may get too rough on Cora. The man has some issues with losing and I think that is exactly what he thinks is happening with Cora. He wants to win and she is the ticket for him to do just that.We currently have three days until we leave for our trip. Cora and Rebecca are finishing up with gathering up all the information that we will need to start finding out what is going on in the villages. Elliot is working on making sure we have all sorts of tech that will help us to gather and record what is happening so that I can once and for all change what is happing in this world.I am sitting at my desk when my door opens and Megan walks in.

    ThomasThe last couple of days at headquarters went quickly and both Cora and I both managed to stay out of the path of Michael and Megan. This morning we are leaving for our first visit to village number one. At the beginning of his control, my grandfather thought it best to not name the new villages. So many were dealing with the shock of what happened to our world that he thought it best to have a fresh start.Throughout my childhood, I would often hear stories about how he led the people to peace and stability. There were never any real in-depth details given but they always gave an overview of what happened. I am hoping that in seeing these villages and speaking with the leaders there, I will be able to uncover some of what happened in the past.“So what is the plan once we arrive?” Rebecca asks.“First we’ll head to the hotel and get you guys settled in. Until we know how the leaders feel about women, we need to keep you too

    ThomasAs Elliot walks into the office he gives me a look that asks what in the world is going on. I motion for him to sit down and Alfred hands him a glass of whiskey.“So Alfred here has told me some interesting information. He may be just the person we need to be able to finally give us the information that will help us to the answers we need.” Elliot looks surprised at this but there is also a twinkle in his eyes showing that he is excited at the prospect of answers.Alfred recounts everything that he told me and Elliot is eating it up. The tech talk that the two get into is mind-blowing for me. I always knew that Elliot was amazing with this stuff but I had no idea that he had studied it so much. As they finish their talk I know that it is time for Alfred to give us his information.“Here are some copies of all of the files you wanted as well as some copies of everything that I have gathered. I can’t pinpoint exactly who sent

    Cora For the next few days, we visited the villages that were closest to the headquarters and we found that they were each a little different, but nothing like what I had grown up in. The women were not as free as they were in Alfred’s village, but they were not being kidnapped and raped like they were in mine. My theory was that the further we got from headquarters the worse it would get. Elliot came up with the idea that in order for Rebecca and I to be able to go with them, we should say that we are there at the order of our men to help gather the information. We were to play dumb if anyone asked any questions and just push everything on Thomas and Elliot. If anyone gets too nosy about our involvement we should just pretend to have no idea why they want the information or what it even is that we are looking at. At the last village we were in there were some men who looked as if they were not very happy to see us looking through the books. When one man star

    Thomas Elliott went ahead of us to the rooms and did a sweep for any type of video or listening devices that would be in the rooms or anywhere near them. Of course, there were both found and he managed to take care of the problem without any trouble. Cora and I were to meet Elliot and Rebecca in an hour and a half to go and meet Cora’s family. Cora has been very quiet since we got here and it is worrying to see her reverting to what she was like when she first came to me. Once we are inside the room I turn and lock the door and reach for her wrist. “Talk to me, Baby. What’s going on inside that beautiful mind of yours?” She looks up with tears in her eyes and my heart aches from seeing her this way. She hugs me tightly and I know that she’ll give me answers once she has calmed herself. Cora is a creature of habit most of the time and when she is upset she needs my touch, scent, and words to calm her. I run my hand through her hair and whisper sweet wo

    Cora As the words hang in the air and I can see that my family is nervous. More nervous than I have ever seen in the entire time that I lived with them. I take a deep breath and center my mind knowing that something is going on here and that it may change everything. “Look we have made sure that no one can hear a word you say. We are most certainly not going to do anything to hurt you, we just need to know what is going on.” Thomas says in his voice that he reserves for only those closest to him. I smile at him in thanks and turn back to my family. “I’m sure that you were coached on how to act in front of the leader. We are trying to do something that can help everyone but we need to know the truth of what is happening in the villages. Dad, I know that you are a man that follows what the Chosen says, but you need to know that what you have been told and what is the truth are not the same things.” “What do you mean by that? You know they could kill you

    Cora The ride back is one that was full of silence. Everyone was lost in their thoughts trying to make sense of all that we had learned. The trip was not as successful as we would have liked but we did learn enough to get a good start. Thomas seemed to be thinking more than any of us. The thought that one of his family members could be behind this was beginning to take a toll on him. I reach over and take his hand to show him that he isn’t alone in this. He has supported me so much that all I want to do is give him that same love. Once we finally reach the headquarters Elliot and Rebecca head home and Thomas leads my family into the house. They all stand around looking like they have never seen anything like it. I smile knowing that they are finally going to be living a life that is free of Carl’s tyranny. “We have three guest rooms on the second floor for you to stay in. Please treat this as your home until we can get you set up with a place of your

  • The Reaping   Epilogue

    Cora As time passes things get clearer on what needs to change. the first huge step was punishing those who were out to harm others. Not a day goes by where we do not receive new reports from people wanting to inform us of a crime. A task force has been set up to help handle the situation and find justice for the victims. Thomas and Elliot worked hard on forming a new type of what was once called the police. These men and women are tasked with learning the truth and helping bring justice to those who are victims as well as those who are falsely accused. Our personal life has also moved forward and gotten stronger. Over time I learned to work through the pain from my attack and with Thomas’s help, I have made peace with that incident. I have even started a support group for women who have been attacked in any way to get help from each other. “Cora, please sit down and take it easy. I don’t want you getting too tired or hurting yourself or the baby.” I

    Cora “Cora you must rest. You have been through a very traumatic experience and your body will start to shut down again if you are not careful. Thomas takes her home and makes sure she rests. I will contact one of my colleagues in the villages that worked as and therapist. She is going to need help working through all this.” Once you make it home Thomas takes me up to our room. As I walk into the room it suddenly hits me that I have just been to hell and back. I suddenly break down and sob my heart out. I cry for my rape. I cry for Thomas and all that he lost today. I cry for the friend that Michael had once been but is now no longer on this earth. I cry for Doug and the sad life that he must have had to live all these years. And finally, I cry for this world full of evil like Caroline. For all the girls who never got to live their lives. Thomas helps me get ready for bed and asks if I want him with me tonight or if I would rather him not stay. I know

    Cora Rebecca gasps as she hears the words that change everything forever. The people we have been searching for turned out to be one person. Caroline was thought of as a loving mother and example to all women. She was poised and gave off an air of royalty, and yet standing here now she looks like a psychologically deranged person. “Mother you didn’t. Say you didn’t.” Thomas pleads with her. He looks like a broken child who has just learned that their hero wasn’t the person that they thought they were. “Thomas? Have you learned anything in all the years of training we gave you? You’re showing your emotions and making yourself look weak in from of your men.” She barks out at him. I look toward Doug and he just sits there looking straight ahead as if he hadn’t just heard a thing that was said. “Doug, why don’t you look surprised?” The words come out of my mouth before I have a chance to stop them. He finally breaks his staring contest with the wall in fr

    Thomas “I know who did it!” With those words, my heart stopped. Elliot held the information that I needed the most. “Follow me.” I lead him to a remote area and made sure that there wasn’t anyone around. At this point, I didn’t care if there was a way for someone to be recording this. I just needed to find out what happened. “It was Michael. I know you probably thought of it too, but he is the only one that I could think of that would be that emotional when it came to Cora. I have him recorded going into the room and then an hour later leaving looking like he had just been through hell. His clothes were messed up and it looked like he had a few scratches on his face. She must have put up one hell of a fight.” Elliot is treading lightly considering that this was the woman I love and she was currently unconscious. “Get Rebecca down here. I want her to stay with Cora and her family. You and I are going to meet my parents and grandfather. Is security pick

    Cora I come to find Michael stripping my clothes off. My dress is gone and he is working to get my undergarments off. I start flailing around trying to stop his movements. He raises his fist and punches me in the face. “Stop fighting me dammit! You brought this on yourself!” He says into my ear in an almost whisper. “Please don’t do this Michael. Please don’t hurt me.” I feel myself beginning to lose control and the tears are starting to roll down my face. I want to stay strong but I am weak from being knocked out and I can feel the fear taking control. “I told you already, I should have been the one to have you first! I loved you and you just threw me away for what? Power, sex, money, or were you just trying to get me to prove myself to you? Why are you making me out to be the bad guy?” He slaps me a few more times and takes my underwear off and uses them to bind my hands together. He stands and starts to pull his pants down and all sane thou

    Cora The first morning I went back to headquarters with Thomas I was a complete nervous wreck. Knowing that we still had no idea who was sending the messages or who was behind Michael’s schemes made it all that much harder. Thomas told me multiple times that I would be fine but, something in the back of my mind told me otherwise. “Cora, could you go to the file room and see if you can find the records from your old village for the last six years? I want all of them if possible. Do you need someone to go with you?” Thomas has worked extremely hard the last few days and I know that he is getting tired. “I should be fine. I am just walking down the hall little ways. If I need anything I’ll yell. There is security always walking around. Don’t worry.” I kiss him on the cheek and head out the door. Walking down the hall I see the security guard walking around and notice that there is a lot of activity today. Since we came back Thomas has been working on man

    Cora As soon as the words left her mouth my anger raged inside me. When we were talking earlier I noticed how she was trying her hardest to not have to touch anyone and the looks that she was giving my family. She just avoided me altogether and I just wanted to know what was so wrong with me that she couldn’t even make an effort. It seems that now I have my answer, she doesn’t like people from the villages. The rest of Thomas’s family was amazing. His grandfather had me laughing the entire time we were talking. He said that I reminded him of his late wife and that I would be perfect for Thomas “What do you think I mean Dear? it is clear to me that my son has picked well below him in the Reaping.” Gasps were heard around the table and the sickly sweet smile that she is giving me is anything but friendly. “Caroline, what in the world are you talking about? You are from the villages!” Doug yells and I can see that he is losing his temper with her.
