Finders Keepers Part 5
By Soltan Bey



             Diana Valk pummeled her fists into the boxing bag with 
lightening like speed. Her powerful strokes resounding through her 
personal gym with a satisfying thwack. Each stroke leaving an 
impression in the bag that was visual evidence of the power she was 
imparting. As usual she was working with her deerskin gloves. Not the 
same ones she had used on her last victim, a man who had been tried 
and convicted of rape 1st degree by Susan.  Diana  had pummeled him  
to a mewling cry baby before snapping his neck. No, these were her 
favorite workout gloves. After working up a good sweat she stopped and 
eyed herself in the mirror before moving on to the weight lifting 
routine. 

        Since it was her midweek workout she worked herself to the 
max, pushing her limits to the extreme. Lately she hadn't been able to 
spend as much time as she liked in the gym, to keep herself in
tip top killer condition. As she grunted the final set of bench 
weights up she thought of which of her clients she would have to
eliminate. Some would have to go so she could free up more time if she 
was going to be able to spend a minimum of four hours a day in the gym 
working out.  

        They would be disappointed of course. But none would be 
foolish enough to argue with her.  Being a private eye and hand to 
hand combat trainer  for a select group of clients was how she earned
a living in the normal world. However she of late had less time to 
spend doing outside work as the coven Leader Susan was putting her on 
more and  more coven related work. 

        Her last job for the coven had required all her skills that 
she had accumulated through the years. Well, almost all. She hadn't 
had to blow anything up this time. So her explosives training during 
her stint in the US Marine Corp hadn't come into play. But she did use 
most of her other skills with included computer programing and her 
investigative skills. Not to mention her fairly extensive background 
in electronics. The latter came in handy doing covert sleuthing on 
many an occasion. 

  Nor did she need to use her killing skills, the ones involving her 
expert rating with the knife, the garrote, and  not to mention 
oriental hand to hand combat skills. She smiled as she reflected on
these things and slipped on another 80 pounds on the bench press bar 
to bring the final set total up to 300 pounds.  It was the max she 
could push and she managed to get six reps before tiring. She would 
have pushed further but her live in lover and spotter was gone for the 
day.

         It was almost noon when she heard the doorbell ring. Irritated by
the unexpected interruption she grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat 
from her brow and headed for the staircase that led from her basement
gym. She had a half snarl on her face when she opened the door, half 
expecting it was a salesman she could terrify into never returning. 
But when she saw who it was she switched into a welcoming smile and
was as genuinely surprised.
	
   	"Susan! I was not expecting to see you so soon!" She made way 
so the smallish clan leader couild enter. "Please, come in out of that 
heat and make yourself comfortable." 

        Susan smiled and passed by to enter the entry alcove. "I'd 
give you a welcoming hug but it looks like I caught you in the middle 
of some serious workout."

     Diana laughed. "You know me. Fit and ready is my motto. Will you 
be staying long or is this just a short visit?"  

    Susan turned and walked down the hall toward Diana's living room 
entrance. "I have some things we need to discuss. I would have called 
to let you know I was flying in but never got around to that. I hope 
you don't mind. Will your afternoon be free of engagements?"  She 
turned back to face Diana.

    "I was going to do some work on a clients case but that can be put 
off for more important matters."  Diana dabbed some sweat from her
heavily muscled arms. "Well perhaps I better clean up, or is what we 
need to discuss so pressing that my not being so smelly to be around 
is of lesser importance?" She asked in all seriousness. It was unlike 
the clan leader to drop in on Diana like this unless it was something 
of import.

     Susan gazed up into Diana's blue eyes. "It is of great importance 
and it is good news. What we have to discuss will only take an hour or 
so I suppose." She paused and eyed Diana's lovely lean and hardend 
physique. "If you have the free time this afternoon perhaps we could
mix business with pleasure?"
    
    Diana grinned. "Well in that case I'll go ahead and clean up. Make 
yourself comfortable Susan and I'll return shortly." She wasted no 
time heading for the shower.  
    
    Susan watched Diana's tight ass swagger away. She sighed and
sat down in an giant overstuffed sofa. It was a most luxurious 
material that it was covered with. Some sort of satin like cloth done 
in a most pleasing shade of Burgundy. It was one of those sofas that 
made one feel like drifting off into dreamland as soon as one sat down 
in it. It also brought to mind many a sexual memory as this very sofa 
and the matching custom designed love seats nearby had hosted many a 
clan orgy in the past. The entire room was designed with love making 
in mind as the carpet was as welcoming as a bed. 

    Susan got up and opened the closet were Diana kept her toys and 
smiled with satisfaction when she saw her favorites were wrapped in 
plastic wrap, indicating they were clean and ready for use. She saw 
several new tempting toys and was about to investigate them when she heard 
Diana approaching. She reluctantly shut the cabinet door. If they had 
time for fun it would be later. At the moment things must be of 
business.

    When she turned she had business in mind but it was apparent at a 
glance Diana had forgotten already. Susan let out an appreciative 
whistle. "You put on my favorite bed time teddy didn't you my love?" 

   "Do you mind?  Or am I too distracting in this?" Diana asked. She 
already knew the answer. It was a game they had played in the past.

    "Much to distracting. How can I think of anything but you when 
your wearing that sheer thing? Especially with all that glorious 
muscle freshly pumped up from your workout?" Which was quite true as 
Diana was a stunning figure to gaze upon. At 5' 11" and 200 pounds of
lean muscle she was Susan's favorite choice when it came to the brand 
of sex Diana engaged in. Diana was an Alpha dominant in the bedroom.
She also didn't mind being rough with Susan, when Susan asked for it.

    "I'll go slip a robe on so I won't be so distracting for you. Be 
right back." She paused. "Shall you want a refreshment?"

   Susan waved her hand at the nearby bar, which was well stocked with 
the sorts of things she liked. "I'll find some wine for myself. I feel 
like celibrating. Hurry back."

    Diana arched her eyebrow at the last. The news must be good indeed 
for it was quite rare for Susan to imbibe in any drink containing 
alcohol. Rare indeed. 

    Diana returned with  a proper opaque robe done in a glorious shade 
of purple, fitting for her stature in the clan as a member of the 2nd 
ring. One of only 4 others in the clan of that stature. Only Marta and 
Linda outranked her as they were  members of the 1st ring, or the high 
council. Of course Susan herself was the pinnacle. Founder. Clan 
Mother. Clan Leader. High Witch. 

    Susan picked one of the chairs to sit in and waited for Diana to 
sit before she spoke. "I bring you great news Diana. Andra, the woman 
I had you and the others investigate, has decided to go along with 
the plan we worked up."

    "That is wonderful Susan." Diana said with glee. "Is she coming along 
willingly or did you have to twist her arm?" She folded her long legs. A 
surprising accomplishment to some considering how meaty her thighs were. 

   Susan ignored the glorious sweep of muscular thigh meat that was 
exposed when Diana did that. "Well, it was a bit of a surprise to me 
that she knew far more of us than she should have.  I'll give you the 
transcript of our conversation later. In a nutshell she threw me off 
course and I had to reveal almost everything about us to her."

   Diana listened with a worried look, but said nothing and waited for 
Susan to continue.

  "Yes I know it is unprecedented, but as you know, she is worth 
gambling everything for. She must be controlled and it is now we who 
control her."

        "So I take it you found her truthful and reliable with clan 
secrets? Is she now a member of our clan?" Diana asked.

    Susan paused. "She is truthful and I saw no great deceit in her
aura when I extracted certain promises from her. Diana, I had to 
reveal far more than I had expected to her. She is extremely 
intelligent. Had I not done so she would have thrown us all out the 
door."

    "Yes, we put that in our reports to you. You knew what she was 
when you walked through that door. So, is she a member of the clan or 
not?"

    Susan sighed. "No, not at the moment. But I hope that will soon 
change."

    "So this is the first time in our history a non clan member has 
been privy to our secrets." Diana didn't like the sound of it. "She 
knows all our names?"

    Susan looked up at the ceiling as if to get away from a painful 
sight. "You will want to read the report of our meeting that we put 
together. She knows a great deal about us now. No, not everything but 
far more than she should have been told. But there was nothing I could 
do about that. I really don't think it is much to worry about as she 
did not seem to upset by some of our darker secrets, not when we 
explained the reasons and circumstances anyway."

    "So she knows about me I suppose, and other things?"

    "We told her about you yes. We had to. I couldn't rely on using 
just my subjective talent on her to swing her to our cause. She has 
to see us as we are if we are to get full use of her. Luckily she is 
of the sort that can see the need for what we have done, at least so 
far anyway. I must warn you she will be expecting honest discussion 
with any clan member she comes across. Since most of you will be 
seeing her she will have ample opportunity to learn more of us. She 
will be looking for deception. She is gifted with great intelligence 
and will not be fooled by simple deception. So I urge you, as I have 
all the other clans women, to not attempt to deceive her. If you do I 
am afraid she will bolt away from me and then we will loose control. 
Treat her as a sister, even though she is not a member of the clan."

    Diana took all this in with a sigh. "This is so risky. Don't you 
realise what your asking of me? If  she asks me who, what, when, and 
where about the men I've killed, you expect me to tell her? " Diana 
asked almost with anger. "Not even all clan's women are privy to that 
sort of thing. Only those you rate as most trustworthy know the 
details."

    "Diana, of course you don't need to tell her specifics. That would 
be foolish and you know it. I'm not asking that. You can answer her 
and be truthful without revealing to much. Just speak in generalities. 
And be truthful about your concerns regarding telling her to much when 
and if such topics come up. All I'm asking is use your head when 
dealing with her. I also will need a report from you anytime you tell 
her something that may be of a problem nature. Use your head when you 
file them." 

  Diana said nothing and had what would have been an amusing pout on 
her face. Amusing in other circumstances. Susan wished she had a 
camera because it was quite a site. The Valk with a girlish pout! Who 
would have believed it could happen!

    "Diana, I do have some news that will brighten your day now that 
I've put a damper on it." She smiled. " In several weeks Andra will be 
living at our Carib retreat. I've already contacted Shelly and she is 
setting up the household down there so it will be ready for Andra when 
she arrives." She paused. "You my dear will be the first to see her 
for treatments."

   Diana brightened at this. "How soon can we start? I'll have to make 
arrangements with my clients if I need to be away for long."

    "Well, give her a chance to settle in. Perhaps a week or two after 
she moves in? Why don't you make it a vacation. That is what I would 
do. Spend a month or two down there, longer if you wish. The clan will 
cover you."

    Diana noticed the hint. Susan wanted her down there for an 
extended period. though she wasn't ordering her. Interesting. "I don't 
know. You know how my business is. I'd have to close out the combat 
classes and I have obligations with other clients. Though I suppose I 
can pawn them off on some associates. Being out of the business that 
long will hurt me quite a bit."

    "Perhaps Janine could handle some of that? Isn't she capable?"

   Susan was referring to Diana's live in girl Friday. Janine Courant. 
Former world class swimmer. Blond and sleek, a beautiful young woman 
of some 28 years of age. Diana had sponsered her for a number of years 
before soliciting her to join the clan. Currently Janine was a member 
of the 3rd ring, just above novice initiate. She was also Diana's live 
in lover and investigative business associate. 

    "Yes, but she doesn't have the skills I do. Without me to guide 
her it would be very difficult. We work as a team, as you know. I was 
thinking if I spend that much time down there it would be rude of me 
to leave Janine here. Besides she needs time at the island. I don't 
think she's ever been down there. I'm sure she would be most jeolous 
if let out in the cold."

 Susan laughed. "Ok, you win. I suppose  separating you two for such a 
long time is to much to ask." She became serious. "Inform Marta if you 
need cash to cover your losses. This is to be classed as a clan 
business expense. I want you to feel free to have Andra do what she 
can with you. Be creative. As you know from our reports I know she is 
capable of doing far more than just putting big bosums on a woman and 
making it easy for them to put on muscle. Since both of you will be 
going down I'm sure Janine will want some things done."

    Diana smiled. Classed as clan expense. That meant dollar signs 
plus. "So it will be. Will we be living at the mansion with Andra or 
at one of the bungalows?" 

    "Well, the mansion will have the equipment you like to work with 
so I imagine you'll be staying there mostly. Yes, I'd like you to stay 
around the mansion. Keep an eye on her. Become her friend if you can."

   "OK, is she a man only kind of woman?" Diana asked.

    "I can tell you from personal experience she is not impartial to 
enjoying the fruits of the love a woman. It's in the report."

    "Ah, I see. So you did bed her? We were wondering about that as we 
found no indication of that sort of behavior in her past. Judging from 
the way she built herself up she may appreciate a woman like me." 
Diana said smugly.

    Susan let out a growling like low laugh. "Well, I did use some 
extra wiles on her you and the others do not have in your arsenals. As 
for her tastes, yes it would seem to be oriented toward power and 
grace." She paused and let her eyes tumble down Diana's form. "As 
strong as you are you are a weak kitten compared to her. She could rip 
your arms out by the roots in a flash if she wanted to you know."

    Diana thought about how tall and big Andra was. "I imagine it was 
a unique experience for you Susan. I mean she is a good 11 inches 
taller than you. But she didn't tear your arms out. Your still in one 
piece." She said jokingly. She also felt a twinge of jealousy because 
she knew Susan had a weak spot for strength. 

    "It was most special. Though we didn't make love the way you and I 
do. Not so physical. It was more a spiritual thing. An initial 
exploration of her. I didn't ask her but I think I may have been her 
first female fling." Susan stood up and poured herself another small 
glass of wine. "One other thing. You will be reporting to Dr. Clark
daily. Doctor Clark will arrive at the island sometime shortly before 
you do I imagine. She has quite a lot to do in the meantime. Moving 
her entire patient base to other doctors. I asked her to take up full
time residence on the island. Before you have Andra do anything with 
you I want you and Janine to report to Felicia for a full workup. She 
will tell you what she wants done."


    Diana frowned. "This is costing us a lot of money isn't it? What 
is Andra getting out of this? Will she bill us for work done and we 
bill the clan?"

    Susan smirked. "Yes, a ton of money. The clan is going to be 
spending yet more. Andra will want a research lab built to her 
specifications. That's another reason I want you down there. For 
security. Andra is no slouch but an amateur at that sort of thing. As 
for what Andra is costing us. Lets just say its a fortune. Nothing you 
need to worry about as we expect to get vast returns eventually."

    "So it could be a number of use will be living full time at the 
island then?"

    "Yes, that may very well turn out to be the case. Depending on 
what Andra does. There is no gurantee she will stay with the 
commitment we made. But if she becomes a clan member it would solve a
lot of problems. When she is ready to make that commitment she will 
tell me."

    "Well I'll read that report later. I hope we have full rights to 
her product. Does she understand that is what we want?" 

    Susan smiled. "Most assuredly. I drove that point home quite well. 
She will get what she wants and we will get what we want. Our plan was 
remarkably similar to ideas she had been thinking of for some time 
now. We give her a safe haven, secure. We give her a network that 
assumes most of the risk. We also pay her quite well. We will get 
final control of the products. Just what that products will be just 
yet is up in the air. In the meantime the clan will absorb the loss."

    "So in the meantime Andra will not be working with any one but 
Elantra Clan women?"

    "That is the plan for the foreseeable future. I've told her part
of the agreement must be that any modification programs must be agreed 
by a clan committee designated for that task. At the moment there is 
only one committee member of course, and that is I. But I plan to 
include Felicia as part of the committee as soon as it makes sense to 
make it a formal thing. Who we add to the committee will be a matter 
of clan debate among ring two and up. I suspect all of us will want to 
be on that committee. I will have final veto on any decisions."

   Diana grinned. "As usual. I'm anxious to meet Andra now. Now that 
you've told me about this time will go very slow for me until we 
arrive at the island." 

    Susan stretched. "Well, perhaps we should do something about that 
this afternoon. Let me get my hands on you before all that muscle you 
pumped up goes to flab." She walked over to the couch and waited for 
Diana meet her.

    Diana walked over and they embraced.  Susan's forehead resting 
against the he chin. She felt Susans tounge exploring the nape of her 
neck and she let out a husky giggle. "Shall we stay here or retire to 
my master bedroom my little Susy?" Diana asked. Probing the waters to 
see how Susan wanted her sex this time around.

   "Susy wants to go to your bedroom Diana. Susy has been a bad girl."
Susan clawed away the Robe Diana was wearing. She reached for 
Diana's small breasts that were mounted on impressive pectoral muscle
mass. She massaged Diana's nipples. "I've been very, very ,very 
naughty Diana. Extremely naughty."

    Diana knew in an instant Susan wanted it rough. Very rough. 
Whenever Susan took on the Suzy mantle it meant she wanted rough sex. 
However Diana noted Suzy seemed to want it much rougher than usual. 
She put a commanding motherly tone to her voice. "Do you really mean 
that Suzy? Are your sure you've been 'Very, very , very naughty? Do I 
understand you to mean you've been naughtier than you've ever been 
before?"  

    Susan bit one of Diana's nipples savagely. Diana let out a gasp of 
surprise. "Yes Diana. I have. She broke away and began to take her 
clothes off. 

    Diana walked over and slapped Susan viciously. "I didn't say you 
could start taking you clothes off you little bitch." She slapped her 
again to make sure she got the point. 

    Suzy began to cry. "I just want to please you Diana. I didn't mean 
to do anything wrong!" She wailed the last as Diana picked her up 
and threw her with savage intensity into the couch.  

    Diana had mixed feelings about what she was about to do to Susan. She shook 
her head and realized it wasn't Susan anymore. This was Suzy and Suzy had just 
told her she needed to be hurt very badly. It wasn't that Diana minded hurting 
people, least not people who deserved it anyways. It was that she was going to 
have to be much rougher with Suzy than ever before. It was evident that is what 
Suzy wanted. Needed. It was not Diana's place to question this.

    She reached out to rip the clothes from Suzy. The clothes were a 
ruined pile of rags by the time she finished. Red welts rose from 
Suzy's white skin due to the savagry of  Diana's disrobing of  her.

  Suzy cried out in pain when Diana grabbed her now abundant D cup 
breasts and gave them a rough squeeze. Diana smirked with pleasure at 
the sensation beneath her powerful fingers. Susans breasts were 
exceptionally firm now. Andra knew how to do a boob job, that was for 
sure.

    "You've been a very bad little Suzy. I think I will use one of my 
big toys on you. Perhaps the one I used last time." She slapped Suzy 
again. "Remember last time little Suzy?" 

    Suzy didn't answer right away so Diana slammed her fist into 
Suzy's midsection. Suzy cried out in pain and doubled up on the sofa.
While she lay there crying out in muffled sobs Diana walked over to 
her toy cabinet and made her selection. "I think I'll use the same one 
as last time Suzy dear. But this time I'll use it with far greater 
gusto." 

    Diana began to attatch the 12" long  2_ 1/2 inch diamater silicon 
coated dildo on her harness. The last time she had hurt Suzy pretty 
bad as Suzy's cunt was not all that deep nor that big around. But she 
wanted it that way so that is what she would get. 

    Suzy rolled over and cried out. "No, I have been badder than that. 
You must use the new one I saw. The real big one."  She looked like a 
crying spoiled brat now. 

    Diana paused. Surely not. Not the monster. She turned around and 
pulled out the KongDong. "You mean this one Suzy?"

        "Yes. That one." The spoiled little brat girl said. "You 
better use that one or I'll do something mean."

    Diana didn't believe it. Suzy had been very bad. SHe was even 
talking back. Asking for yet more trouble!. She reached into her toy 
box and got out her 2" wide leather beating strap. She calmly set the 
dildoes down and walked over to the middle of the room. "Suzy. You've 
been smart mouthing Diana. Get off  that sofa and come over here for 
your punishment."

    "No. I won't do it. Fuck you. You fucking whore bitch!" She almost 
looked like that little girl in that Exorcist movie now. 

    Diana let out a gasp of shock but didn't let on to little Suzy how 
terrified she was. Terrified she wouldn't be able to control this. 
She strolled over and grabbed little Suzy by her long brown hair and 
drug her over to the middle of the room. 

    By the time Diana was finished with Suzy's behind and back it was 
a mass of raised red welts, some of which were bleeding.  She left 
Suzy whimpering, laying in the middle of the floor for some minutes. 
She didn't say a word but just watched Suzy deal with her pain, which 
Diana knew from hard personal experience was intense. 

    Diana cast a nervous glance at KingKong. She didn't see how she 
could get that monster into Suzys little cunt. Suzy had never had a 
child and her cunt was a very tight one to start with. KingKong was 
more of a joke dildo. Not meant for what she new Suzy would want. No. 
Not want. Demand. If she didn't do what Suzy wanted the woman Susan 
would be irritated. Diana didn't want to irritate Susan. Not on this 
day of celebration. She eyed KingKong again. Almost 14" and more than 
3" in diameter. Suzy would want -ALL- of it shoved into her cunt. Not 
just eased in and out either. She would want to be ravaged by a beast. 
Slam fucked with brutal force.   Diana decided to wait. 
Hoping it was over. Suzy would let her know.

    Suzy moaned and moved around a bit after five minutes of silence. 
She slowly picked herself up from the floor and turned to face Diana.
She whiped her tear stained cheeks and eyed Diana's beating strap. 
She pouted. 

    Not a good sign. Diana sighed. She snapped the belt and that got 
an appropriate reaction.

    Suzy jerked back from the belt snap in fear. "You goddamn bitch. 
You call that punishment? I told you I've been very bad. Were is that 
fucking dildo? Why are you standing there playing with yourself? You 
fucking whore!" Suzy was screaming and threw herself at Diana. She 
tried to claw Diana's eyes out.. 

    Diana easily evaded the clumsy maneuver by the small woman and 
slapped her aside like a cat batting a mouse. "Get on the sofa and 
shut the fuck up." Diana yelled.

    Suzy wanted more and she would get it. Nobody. Not even Susan in 
the ego form of Suzy could talk to the Valk like that and get away 
with it. Nobody. 

    With gusto Diana slapped the harness on and applied a liberal 
amount of lubricant to the massive KingKong. She walked over to Suzy, 
the giant Kong Dong flapping in the breeze of her stride like some 
sort of giant worm rising from the sands of Dune. 

    Diane yanked Suzy up and threw her to the floor. "Get that ass up 
in the air Suzy." Diana slapped Suzy's blistered ass to make the 
point.   

    Diana kneeled between Suzy's legs and rubbed some of the lubricant 
on Suzy's cunt. She was already soaking wet with juices but Diana 
would need all the help she could in order to get the Kong Dong into 
that tight cunt of Susans.

     Diana had to pry Suzy's cunt lips open in order to get the 
narrowed tip of the Kong into her. Once she had a few inches of the 
monster dong in nothing would stop her from shoving the rest in. Given 
time and persistance. 

    Suzy cried out in a mixture of  pain and pleasure as Diana slowly 
worked the massive Kong deeper and deeper. When she noted Diana had 
seemed to come to a stop she cried out. "You fucking bitch. I want all 
of that thing in me."

    Diana broke tradition. "Suzy. It won't go any further. If I push 
it in the rest of the way I'm afraid I'll hurt you more than you 
deserve." 

    Suzy looked over her  shoulder and back at Diana. "If you don't do 
this I'll make you pay. I'll tell Susan you can't go to see Andra. 
I might even tell Susan you don't deserve to be a member of the clan 
anymore!" She said in red faced outrage.
    
    Diana's eyes watered in a mixture of anguish and anger at being 
spoken to in such a manner. She looked down at the monster Dong and 
saw a good six inches shy of full immersion. Suzy's cunt was 
stretched to distension. Diana let out a shuddering moan of pain at 
what she was about to do.

    She used her great upper body strength to full effect and grabbed
Suzy's midsection with a vice like grip. She forced her weight down on 
Suzy's back so she wouldn't slide away and  shoved the Kong in till 
her hips were nestled against Suzy's red blistered ass. 

    Suzy let out a shriek of anguish as she did so. "Fuck me you 
two bit bitch. Don't just sit there."

    Diana began to pump the last six inches in and out of Suzy with 
greater and greater speed as Suzy's cunt stretched to conform to the 
Kongs thrust. Suzy's cunt was to tight and the Kong to large to 
perform a proper slam fuck but Diana gave it all she could. Suzy 
screamed out in a final cry of pain. "Forgive me Diana!"

  She collapsed  and passed out cold. Or at least pretended to. Diana 
was not sure. But it was the signal she should stop.

     Diana stifled a sob when she pulled the Kong from Suzy. It was 
coated with blood and blood was oozing from Suzy's poor little 
stretched cunt. She quickly pulled the harness from herself and 
carried the limp Susan up to her guest bedroom and placed her gently 
on the bed. She didn't care that the blood was staining the covers. 
Those could be replaced. 

    "Susan. I should call the hospital. I hurt you badly." She waited 
to see if Susan would respond. She was about to call when Susan's 
voice stopped her. "Diana. Don't call. I can heal myself better than 
any doctor can. Leave me with my pain. Go and let me be."

    Diana put the handset down. She stifled a sob and covered Susan 
with a blanket. "Susan. I love you." She kissed Susan's forehead and 
stroked her shoulders. 

    Susan didn't open her eyes and her face remained crunched in pain. 
"Diana. I love you to. Now go or you will ruin this for me." 

    Diana backed away and gently closed the door. She felt ashamed at 
the way she had just acted. Suzy, when she wanted to be hurt by Diana, 
did not want to be coddled afterward. Diana realized she had been weak 
and perhaps had let Suzy down by the last kind words and kind touch.  
She shrugged her shoulders and went downstairs to clean up the mess. 

   She wondered what it was that Susan had wanted to be punished for. In the 
past it was more like a game. Lately though Suzy had become more demanding. This 
last session was the worst by far. Diana had never done anything so extreme like 
that to another woman. Never.  It went against the Valks ethos. She felt 
confused as she cleaned up. She wondered  how she would explain to Janine the 
blood stains in the carpet, which fortunately was a deep shade of Burgundy. 

 .................................. 

     Janine Courant pulled her sports car into the driveway just as 
the sun was setting, casting a warm red glow on the horizon. She 
flipped the remote and waited for the garage door to open. As it 
opened she saw Diana's car was still in the garage so most likely she 
was home. She pulled in beside and got out of the car. She hoped Diana 
would like the new dress she bought this afternoon. She also had a new 
bottle of wine for Diana to sample. 

    The garage door was closing itself as she opened the door that led 
to the short passageway which led  to the house proper. She reached 
the next door and sighed as she opened that. "So many doors." She 
mutterd to herself as she walked into the main hallway. She noticed 
the workshop door was open,  and she cast a quick glance to see if 
Diana was in. Not seeing any sign of her Janine continued on down the 
hall which led past the basment entrance. She saw the door was closed 
and that meant Diana wasn't working out. 

    She trundled on with her small cargo of goodies and paused in the 
kitchen to set the wine bottle out and get some iced tea from the 
fridge. She decided to go check the den, where she would most likely 
find Diana. If she wasn't working out , or working on some project in 
the workshop, then she would be doing some work. That was the Valk. 
Either that or she was fucking somebody. Since she didn't hear any 
screams it couldn't be that. So she went down the next hallway and 
peeked in the den. No Valk. Most odd. 

  When Janine gave up on the game she called out "Diana, you home?"

    She heard a muffled reply from the other side of the house. 
Sounded like maybe the main entertainment room. She walked down 
another hallway and found Diana doing a most un-Valk like thing. 
Watching some stupid TV show. Not a good show either. It was one of 
those idiotic network weekly serial shows. She looked at Diana who was 
sitting on the couch and she appeared unusually listless. "Diana, you 
ok sugar?" Janine asked as she slid in beside Diana.

    Diana gave a half hearted smile. "Yah, I'll be ok. I just was 
tuning  out for a while. It's been a rough day for me. How was yours?"

    "Hmm, Well maybe I can cheer you up. The Rogers case is tied up. I 
got what they wanted and we can contact them tomorrow with the 
information." She expected a bigger rise from Diana, but noticed that 
didnt' seem to do the trick. Rather odd because the Valk always liked 
it when they made their clients happy. Especially ones that paid as 
well as the Rogers case would. 

    Janine continued. "Well, other than that my day was kind of 
mundane I suppose. I did pick up a new dress. I think you'll love how 
I look in it."

    "Oh, great. Why don't you go put it on and let me see it?" Diana 
asked with the best interest she could muster. It didn't work. 

    Janine saw Diana wasn't really all that enthused. "Well, I'll go 
slip into it and bring that new wine blend I picked up. We can 
celebrate the closing of that Rogers case! Maybe we could go out to 
eat or something?" She hinted. 

    "I don't want to go out tonight Janine. Besides. We can't. We need 
to stay around here tonight." Diana rouised herself. "I need to do 
something anyway. I've been sitting here for hours. Tell you what. 
I'll make dinner tonight and we can celibrate by a candle light 
dinner. How bout that?"

    Janine warmed.. "Sounds good to me Diana. I'll go take a shower 
and pretty up some and I'll show you that new vixen number." She 
rubbed the Valks heady shoulder. "Hmm, you smell nice and fresh Diana. 
That perfume is wonderful." 

    Diana's face turned a bit stony at that. As if remembering 
something. "Ya, I had to clean up after....I." She stumbled. and her 
voice broke. "I did something today Janine." Her voice cracked so much 
she couldn't continue.

    Janine pulled Diana into her. The Valk crying? "My goddess. Diana, 
what has happend?" 

    Diana broke into sobs and couldn't respond for some time. Janine 
just held the big woman until she settled down. "Janine, you mustn't 
tell any of the other sisters of what has happend. Not unless I say 
you can. I tell you as sister to sister. Do you understand?"

    "What? What have you done?" She waited. "Yes. I understand. I am
a sister of the 3rd ring and you are of the 2nd. Is it one of those 
commandments sister?"
        
            Diana nodded. Her face red with tears. "Yes. It is. You 
break your vow to me on this and you will be punished."

    Janine pulled back. This was serious. "I understand sister. I want 
to help. But perhaps it is something I should not know about if it is 
that serious."

    "It is something you don't need to know. But you live here and I 
will not send you away to hide what has happend from you. You and I 
have an agreement, no? To share ourselves completely. If I hide this 
from you I would not be able to look you in the eye again."

    Janine sighed. "Tell me Diana."

    Diana pointed out the stains and told Janine what she had done to 
their leader, the clan founder, the guiding light, the Head Witch of 
Coven Elantra, the one True Witch of Coven Elantra, Susan.

    Janine didn't know what to say. When she tried to go up and check 
on Susan Diana stopped her. "She does not want to be disturbed. She 
can heal herself. All she needs is time. She will come down if she 
needs anything." 
    
    Janine balked. "It's been hours since you checked on her! How can 
you say that?" Janinie got up but Diana put her hand out to stop her. 
"Diana, I'm going up there to check on her. Or are you going to beat 
me up to stop me?"

    Diana choked. "Janine! I tell you not to go. Leave her be." 

    "I'm going up there and the only way you can stop me is by brute 
force. You , You, brute you."

    With those brutal words in the air Janine flung herself away from 
a muttering Diana and ran up the staircase. Diana didn't try very hard 
to stop her she noted. When she reached the top of the staircase she 
slowed and gently walked to the guest room and eased the bedroom door 
open. The first thing she saw was the bloody sheets and blood soaked 
bed cover. Janine stifled a shriek and slid into the room.

    She checked to see if Susan was breathing OK and she was doing so. 
She appeared to be asleep. Janine put her hand against Susan's 
forehead and noted a slight fever. The touch of her hand caused Susan 
to awake with a sharp intake of breath.

    "Susan, I had to check on you. Are you alright?"

    Susan weakly replied. "Janine, I will be ok. I just need rest."

    "Let me clean you up. I don't think you realize how much blood you 
lost. My goddess, it is everywhere. I'll be back with some things. Lie 
still and I'll return shortly."

    Janine didn't wait around to hear any protests or commandments 
from Susan and returned from a trip to the bathroom with a bucket of 
warm water and a pile of towels. 

    She peeled the blanket from Susan and let out a gasp of shock. 
From the description Diana had given her she should have been ready 
for what she saw, but that was not the case. With great care and 
tenderness she cleaned up the dried blood on Susan's back and around 
her vagina, which appeared to have a tear in it. "It does look like 
the bleeding has stopped." 

    Susan didn't reply and seemed to weak to care. With a bit of 
effort Janine managed to get Susan scooted over to the other side of 
the bed so she wouldn't be laying in a pile of crusty dried blood.
She cleaned her up some more and went to the kitchen to fix up some
broth. 

When she returned Susan was sleeping and Janine woke her up so she 
could sip the warm broth. However Susan was to weak to handle that on 
her own so Janine spoon fed her. "I'll be back to check on you in an 
hour  Susan. You will need liquids."

    "Thank you Janine." Susan closed her eyes and drifted off.

    Janine shook her head in bafflement and eased the door shut.
.................................

          "Whatever were you thinking of Diana? She is hurt far worse 
than I think either of you realize. Judging from the amount of blood I 
saw  soaked in that bed she must have lost a quart or more. Maybe a 
lot more. The damn mattress is soaked. How the hell could you just 
leave her like that?"  Janine was furious. Candlelight dinner 
forgotten. No way could she sit at the same table with the Valk. Not 
tonight. Maybe not the next night.

    "I told you. When Suzy is out she wants pain. If I am tender with 
her she doesn't like that. It ruins the event for her. I don't know 
what makes her want the punishment. I just know she has a need for it 
from time to time."

    "You call that punishment? That was a savage beating by a lunatic 
and rape by a raving lunatic. Your nuts Diana." Janine was shouting.

    "Look. You want to get involved with the details? She and I have 
been doing this for years. I read her like a book. I know exactly what 
she wants and how much of it. She and I have a code worked out. She 
lets me know -exactly- how much punishment, yes alright, how much of a 
beating she wants. This time it was different Janine. It was as if she 
wanted me to almost kill her. She could have told me to stop at an 
instant. Hell! I asked her if she was sure if I should use that 
fucking monster Kong on her and she blew her top that I dare ask!"

    Janine said nothing and looked away at nothing in particular.

    "Look Janine. I could not go back up there. Suzy told me to go 
away and leave her alone. Just like the last few times. She heals up 
and she's back to normal. This time she's going to take longer to heal 
I suppose though." 

    Janine blurted. "Your fucking right she is. From what I saw up 
there she'll be here for days. I'll nurse her. You don't bother 
yourself with it. It's obvious all your good for is dishing out the 
pain."

    Diana flared and caught her arm in midflight on its way toward 
Janines lovely face. "My oh My little sister. You sure know how to do 
the same yourself. With words. Say nothing more to me this night or it 
will just get worse." Diana stalked from the room and away from 
Janine. 

    Janine watched Diana stomp away and realized she better cool down
before she ruined what she and Diana had together. Something was wrong 
and it wasn't all Diana's fault. It took two to tango and the hurt 
woman upstairs was the driving force behind the event. Something was 
crumbling inside of Susan. Had to be. Else why seek out punishment so 
severe? What is it she felt so guilty about? Or was it guilt at all? 
Maybe a severe mental disfunction that dated back to her childhood. 

 Janine didn't know but she vowed to attempt to find the answer. She 
had to. If what Diana said was true the next beating would even be 
more severe. Susan , or Suzy that is, was incrementing each session to 
a higher level. This last one was a quantum leap from the prior. 
Janine shuddered. She couldn't bring herself to think what would 
happen the next time.  Not only to Susan. But look at what was 
happening to Diana. The Valk crying? An emotional zombie? Watching TV 
for goddess's sake!  Something had to come to a stop.   

     ..............................


        Janine avoided Diana for the rest of the evening, which was 
easy to do since Diana had apparently decided to find something to do 
in her workshop. Every hour or so Janine would go up and check on 
Susan and managed to get more broth into her. She was still to weak to
chew real food. Perhaps tomorrow. 

    Around 10 p.m. Janine went to the kitchen to get something to 
nibble on and she found something that was very sweet. Diana had been 
busy in the workshop alright. She had crafted a fine little plastiform 
bedpan urinal and left it on the kitchen table with a note. Diana was so 
artsy-craftsy sometimes. So sweet.

 The  note read:

 'I figured this may come in handy if she is to weak to get up and go to the 
bathroom. I will be in bed sleeping. Tell me if you need me for anything. I am 
not the heartless monster and you know that, your words hurt me deeply. Though 
you may be right. Perhaps I am.  I won't blame you if you do not join me 
tonight. I hope you can forgive me. Signed. Valk.'

    Janine cried as she read the note.  It looked like she would have two women 
to nurse along. It was true, Diana never hurt anyone unless it was absolutely 
necessary; such as a death conviction of someone, almost always a errant man 
that had been convicted by Susan of a capital crime. The Valk, Diana, ususally 
just carried out these occasional missions with ruthless determination, not 
glee. 


   She decided she better go up and tend to the Valk and let Susan go 
on her own for a few hours. She went to her dressing room and found a 
silk negligee to slip into. Then she eased into the pitch black master 
bedroom and slid in beside Diana. Nothing was said between the two as 
they hug cuddled. Eventually the Valk fell into into a restless sleep.
