(Eshbaal) Welcome to Queen's Town (Eclair)

[Eshbaal]

It had been a long, long trip.

Matt could feel his legs slowly starting to feel a bit sore, which wasn't so strange considering that he had been walking all day. But that was just one of the things you could expect when you went backpacking. You couldn't always count on people being willing to pick up a young hitchhiker, and when that didn't happen and you were low on cash, there was little to do but walk. And he actually didn't mind it. During this trip, he had experienced so much more than he had ever imagined he would have if he had stayed home and started school as planned. His horizons had been broadened, and he had met many people in unlikely places. For now, all he needed was to reach the next town - only a mile or so left to walk anyway - and find some cheap hostel or the like.

He didn't seem to be much older than 18 as he walked down the road with his small backpack, containing little more than the bare necessities, starting to see the edges of a town in the horizon. But he had a sort of anonymous handsome look to him. He was somewhat short, not reaching much higher than 5'5'', but he was clearly fit, and had a charmingly boyish look. His hair, a dark blonde, was semi-long and seemed to reach his cheeks, curling slightly around his head. At the moment, he was sparingly clad. A pair of jean shorts covered his knees, and the t-shirt he had put on was a plain white sans the symbol on front - not one that meant anything, but just one he had found interesting when he had bought it.

Finally reaching the town, he started looking around for something that indicated it was a hotel, or even a bed-and-breakfast of some kind. Considering it seemed to be out in the middle of nowhere, it was a fancy town. Not very large, but had a look like a neighbourhood in a larger city, the streets were clean and, as he soon noticed, almost empty. He arched an eyebrow at this, finding the lack of life sort of odd considering it was only around 7 PM. Nonetheless, he kept an eye out for a map of the place or someone he could ask for directions.

The sun had set, the smart went in the stupid stayed out.

Alexis was in a dark corner, the dim light from the street lamps showing only a dark shadow, The town was dangerous but one where the people like her thrived, The houses elegant and big but the people rarely walked the streets, A hidden secret of the town was one of a dark fantasy of a sex deprived high school boy, The dark secret was, the town was where the twisted elegance of domination and slavery was everywhere. Slave girls and boys worked the stores and jobs while the Masters and Mistresses made them into their perfect slaves, Those that didn't accept their fate ended up in the local cemetery, there was no compassion in the town towards the slaves if they didn't perform to their owners wishes they were discarded like trash. Alexis was waiting for a new plaything, she wanted the best the most perfect slave in the town. The competition was a long running one between the owners who had the most obedient and perfect slave and she wanted to be the one to have them. Adjusting her glasses slightly she smiled as she stepped through the darkness even an owner was free game in the town.

She was a beautiful woman of 32, nice curves, a tight bust she kept from drooping even the slightest. She stood at around 5,8" her long auburn hair resting at her lower back just above her soft butt. She wore her private attire that night, Preferring to wear fancy and elegant dresses when she was in public but alone she liked wearing more aggressive clothing., She had many Gothic Lolita clothing in her home, most of it being from japan. Tonight she was wearing a two piece dress, the top a black corset laced with ribbons done up to show off her breasts and the skirt a under skirt to keep it puffed out, ribbons flowing from the sides in various patterns and lace frills along the edges. She was a lovely woman, but she was one of the owners and she wanted a new pet and what she wanted she got. She saw him walk into town it was like he was a distant shadow at first but he was a boy she saw, approaching him and smiling as she thought about how she was going to train this new one. She also thought of how she would capture him behind her back she held a cloth and a small vial of chloroform ready to take him home with her.

She approached the boy kindly meeting him under a streetlamp smiling as she stared at him with her bright blue eyes and lent down to meet his eyes "Welcome to Queen's Town" she said waiting for the right moment when his guard was down and she could take him away with her.

Okay, frankly, the town was starting to almost scare him a little with the ghostly atmosphere that seemed to spread. Other than lights in some windows, he didn't see many signs of life. At one point, he had looked up at one of the windows just long enough to spot that someone was standing there - completely still, and though he could not get a good look thanks to the settling darkness, he knew whoever it was was staring directly at him, and for a moment he felt like an ant in an ant farm, studied carefully for someone else's amusement while he walked around the many tunnels. Still, he ignored it and continued his search for a place to stay.

It was only then that he took notice of someone approaching, hearing the footsteps sort of echo through the streets. He wasn't entirely sure wether to be relieved to finally see someone, or even more worried. Something about all of it seemed like one big, bad omen, but he decided to ignore these worries. It was silly, after all, just some nervousity and an anxiety to find a place to rest after a long day. Yes, that seemed to be an explanation he could live with. There was finally someone else to spot after all - he would have to ask for some sort of directions, even if he generally disliked bothering people on the street like this. Otherwise, he'd just end up walking up and down the same streets the entire night, and he was not exactly interested in that happening.

As the figure approached, he noted that it was a woman - a fairly well-developed one at that, from what he could tell under the light from the streetlamp. It did cross his mind that she was... sort of oddly clad, at least for a nightly stroll, but he kept such thoughts to himself. It was not his place to tell others such things. Instead , as they were about to meet, he got ready to ask her where he could find a place to stay - only to be cut off and surprised from her sudden greeting.

"Um... thank you," he said after a short second, eyes widened in wonder. What kind of name was that for a town? Finally, he seemed to regain his composure. "Um, I'm just passing through - you wouldn't happen to know of a nearby hostel or something?"

Alexis studied the features for a moment, she was sure she was making the boy frightened her clothing was that of a private night at home not for the streets, She noticed the people in the windows and smiled as they backed away their prey had been picked up by another, She looked at the boy and listened to him as he asked for a hostel to stay at, she let out a small chuckle a very cruel and mocking one as she stood up "We here, we don't have hotels or Hostels" she said as she licked her lips smiling as she looked her new slave over taking in every detail of his body and nodding "Your welcome to board with one of our..." she scowled and looked at the inner towns less attractive houses "Rodents...or you can stay with ones of grace at the end of town" she said smiling as she stood up wondering about the boy, looking at her mansion in the distance alongside the other higher class in the town.

Looking at him and smiling, she wanted to toy with the boy and turned around "I'll leave you to decide" she said walking in the direction of her house the sound of her heels cracking against the ground breaking the eerie silence the town left at night, she wondered how long he would be able to stand the darkness as she saw the shadows of the masters beginning to watch him standing alone in the streets, she walked slowly at a pace where she would stay in view for at least a few minutes. The town was dead quiet now her heels were starting to fade from his earshot as she strolled back to her home her vial still in her hands. Her mind was cunning and devious when she wanted something she had worked her way into his mind, she was interesting and his curiosity was going to be his worst enemy here all she had to do was wait until his fear got the better of him and he desired to be with someone to break the fear of being alone.

This entire encounter had an eerie feeling to it. It wasn't even that hard to place. The dead town, the settling dusk and the woman's odd mannerisms ended up painting a creepy picture overall, and he felt like swallowing something and turning tail and running right then and there. However, there would be nothing if he did that. He would end up sleeping on the side of the road somewhere, and that was not exactly something he would look forward to experiencing either. He didn't take note of the looming shadows in the windows beginning to subside, like if the leader of a pack had just claimed a carcass as its own meal, fighting off the rest of the contenders. "Oh. Well, that's... unfortunate," he replied, not sure what he should say to half of her speech. He felt he had to be careful with every single word he said, as it felt like one misstep could mean his end. He just wanted to get away in a hurry, but her proposition was a bit too good.

It wasn't so much curiosity that made him turn and follow her after a few short moments. Well, maybe a little. But primarily, it was the thought of having a warm bed to sleep in now that he had been offered one. He had strong doubts that he would recieve any such offer ever again should he continue to roam these streets, and wether he slept on the side of the road outside the town or in some alley in the town could hardly make any difference. Finally letting out a small sigh, rubbing his forehead a little with two fingers as he wondered how exactly he had ended up in a situation like this, he finally turned and hurried after the woman. "Wait up," he told her, soon catching up. "Er... thanks for the offer. I hope it's not too much trouble."

Alexis stopped seeing the boy run up behind her, she smiled and looked down at him "Oh...it's no trouble" she said as she motioned for him to follow her "No trouble at all" she said her voice darker more sinister as she led him towards her mansion, she looked at the darkening streets as the approached her front gate the street lamps started going off in the town, darkness over running the town. As she opened the gate she smiled as a loud high-pitched scream rang out through the town and she looked at the boy "Hurry along...its not safe outside once the lights go out" she said using the screaming slave girl to her advantage getting the boy into her house much quicker. She walked with him up the driveway smiling as she let him him into her home and shut the door "This is my home, take your shoes off, i don't want dirt on my floor" she said moving inside and upstairs showing him to her room "This is my bedroom do not touch anything most of this stuff cost more than you would" she said shutting the door and moving down the hall the the guest rooms. Letting him in she smiled as she wanted a fresh and clean pet to break not a tired and dirty one.

She looked at him and smiled "Breakfast is at 10 i expect you'll make yourself presentable.." she said looking at his less than elegant clothing and smiled she had the perfect thing for him when he had cleaned himself. Smiling she left the room "I'll see you in the morning" she said walking to her room though she wandered on what she would do to him, she wanted the highest quality of pet one that would be complimenting to her personality and lifestyle.

 

[Eshbaal]

No trouble. Right. He could practically feel the little hairs on the back of his neck rising as she said it, there was just something entirely wrong about this entire situation. And yet he knew that leaving would do him little good. At least this way it seemed he would have a house to be in for the night, and that was far preferable than anything else. And even as he stood, weighing the possibilities, that terrifying scream rang through the entire town, causing him to turn around and look in the direction of it with a horrified look on his face. "Oh, my God, what was that?" he asked, though did not expect an answer... and he found it particularly eerie that the woman seemed to write this off as some sort of everyday occurance. But it did convince him that he wanted walls around him for the night, that was for sure, so he followed the mysterious woman further. He took off his shoes as he was instructed when she let him inside, and took a brief moment to admire the admittedly impressive architecture. This house seemed larger than even the neighbourhood he came from back home. As she took him upstairs, she once again did something odd by showing him her room, which seemed of little importance to him. He merely smiled and nodded politely.

When she finally did lead him to the guest room, he turned to face her. "Thank you for this. You really helped me out." Why did it sound like such a lie when he said it? "Breakfast at 10, got ya. See you in the morning." And with that, she finally left, allowing him to take a deep breath of relief. Tomorrow he was going to leave this houes pretty much as soon as he had eaten, that was for damn sure. But for now, he threw his clothes on the floor and fell to the bed, practically falling asleep the second his head hit the pillow.

Alexis went into her room smiling, tonight was a good catch and she had saved her vial fro a more defiant time, she looked at the mirror in the room and sighed albeit a small one "He was to easy" she said as she undid the ribbons of her corset and let it fall to the floor, one of her maids would get it for her later. She slipped out of her skirt and spent a few minutes staring at her own half naked body, the silk and lace underwear that showed of her breasts and butt quite well. She walked to the bed and set her glasses on the night stand a smrik across her face "Alexis always gets what she wants" she said with a small laugh as she crawled into the bed still smiling, she had a good night but she couldn't shake the thought that one day she might be the one getting caught if she kept up her night time antics. Alexis shrugged the thought, she was one of the most feared owners in the town so she wouldn't be a target to most of them but she would skip her nightly walks for awhile until she had had her fun with this new boy.


Morning was almost as bad as night for someone not used to the town, at 6 Alexis was up and about walking downstairs in a t-shirt and short shorts, she wasn't properly dressed yet and wouldn't be unless she needed to go out to town, she smiled at a maid passing her, which made the girl almost die, Alexis never smiled and when she did it was usually a bad thing "Rose measure the boy in the guest room, i want you to get a maid dress like yours made for him" she said as she tapped the girls head, rarely was Alexis in such a good mood, Sitting at the counter in the kitchen she growled at the girl making her morning coffee, she didn't like waiting but at least she got something to look at though she wondered how her new pet would react to the maids wearing the usual outfit just shorter skirts so you could just see their panties if you looked at them right, or the cook wearing nothing but an apron. Alexis was almost more thrilled with girls than boys but he was an exception, a big exception.

When the clock hit 10 she smiled as she heard a door slam and hurried footsteps, obviously her guest wasn't thrilled about the maid measuring him, she turned in her chair to him sipping the new cup of coffee and looking at him, for a moment they seemed to be frozen but she knew better, it was the look a man got when he was checking out a girl, she sighed and turned back to the counter "You'd do well not to stare at your hostess" she said with a cold voice "Sit" she said but her voice made it sound like more o a command, when he did as she asked she smiled "Breakfast as promised" she said smiling as she looked at him, at least he was wearing the clean shirt and shorts she had left for him.
