Chapter 13: Home.
Thankfully Mr Green drove straight into the open garage when they got home and Daniel was able to alight from the car in relative privacy though the back of the car was facing the street through the open garage door, no one was passing bye to see his nakedness revealed.
Daniel immediately hurried off into the house to withdraw to the security and sanctuary of his own room to suffer alone. Mr Green did not notice his son's quick departure as he was helping Vicki Green out of the car.
When Daniel reached his room upstairs his progress was halted.
There before him was his bedroom door securely shot bolted and padlocked shut.
It was all too much for Daniel.
He crumpled to the floor in front of his door and in the foetal position began to uncontrollably wail and cry.
The first to hear him was his sister who was coming up the stairs. She turned the corner of the upstairs hall and saw her distraught brother bundled against his door. She ran to him and put her arm around him. She didn't know what to do or say.
Daniel looked up momentarily and seeing his sister cuddling him smiled the briefest of forced smiles before burying his head in his chest again.
Mr Green came looking for his son and finding him in such a distressed state really wanted to join his daughter in hugging him.
He knew however that he couldn't show compassion, not now. This was the all-important moment when Daniel would be bought to the total realisation of the consequences of his action, so instead he turned and went back down stairs and fetched Tom.
When Mr Green and Tom returned Daniel and Melissa had not moved.
"Mel thank you for comforting your brother, Tom will look after him now. Come with me" Mr Green, informed his daughter.
He held out his hand but she made no effort to move.
"Come on darling leave Tom to do this. Daniel needs another slave at this time, come leave them alone".
Reluctantly Melissa released her grip on her brother and taking her dads hand stood up and they walked hugging each other down stairs leaving Tom alone with the totally distraught Daniel.
"Come on lets get you down to the basement where I can look after you" Tom said to Daniel and reaching down used his considerable strength to pick Daniel totally up and carried him still sobbing down the stairs into the main hall.
Mrs Green looked on concerned from the lounge room as Tom walked past carrying Daniel but Mr Green put a restraining hand out to comfort her and said, "Leave it to Tom it will be alright, it's all part of coming to terms with his new status".
Melissa and this time even Eric sat adjacent to their parents looking equally concerned for their brother.
Tom did not stop as Daniel was a considerable weight and continued to the basement door and carefully descended the timber stairs and across the laundry to the storeroom next to his small bed-sitter. It had until this morning been a storeroom but in fact it was build as a bed-sitter for a second slave but had never been used for that purpose till now.
Tom had on his masters instructions cleaned it out totally this morning. He had laboured long and hard to ensure the room was clean for it's new occupant.
Tom had even blown up one of his masters camping air mattresses so that Daniel would not have to sleep on the hard floor.
He lowered Daniel onto the mattress and covered him with an old blanket he had salvaged and washed from the garage.
Daniel felt the warmth of the rough textured blanket against his smooth skin but it did little to ease his total distress and depression.
Tom knew just how Daniel was feeling he had been there himself when not much older than Daniel. He also had very specific instructions from his Master who had foreseen the possibility of Daniels depressed state this morning and instructed Tom to sit with him all night if necessary to ensure his sons safety.
There would be time for talking tomorrow. For now, Tom slowly lay on top of the blanket next to the boy he had watched grow up and who he loved like his own son and lying on his side placed his left hand over Daniels sobbing body and pulled it close to his.
The sobbing eased ever so slightly as Tom said, "I'm here Daniel, I'm here, everything will be alright, I promise ... I promise ...."
The early morning of the second day of Fall shone forth bright and sunny but it did little to lighten Daniels depressed state.
He had awoken in strange surroundings, which he could not recognise, except that his family servant Tom was lying next to him cuddling him tightly.
The strange new room the closeness and intimacy of Tom startled Daniel and he jumped up discarding an old blanket he had found draped over him. As he did so he realised he was naked. He covered his genitals as it all came flooding back to him. The humiliation of his sentencing and the utter humiliation of being treated like a slave on his way home.
Tom who had been sleeping was aroused by the sudden movement and soon stood up next to Daniel who was looking confused and disorientated.
"You new room master Daniel, umm I mean Daniel, umm ... errr .... ummm, well yes your new room till your sentence is over Daniel right next to my room. I spent all day yesterday making sure it was properly clean for you master ... errr I mean Daniel" said Tom
"You bought me here Tom?" Daniel asked.
"Yes mast.... Daniel. Your father left me specific orders that I was to ensure you were safe all night. He loves you very much and your enslavement is breaking his heart mast ... err I mean Daniel" Tom said.
"Well he has a fucking strange way of showing it Tom. He let me be sexually molested in the middle of downtown Eastbrook, then he makes me ride in the back of the car like a slave and then he locks me out of my room. Loves me? Yeah sure!" Daniel replied bitterly.
"But you are a slave now Daniel, what did you expect? That life would be the same. A slave's life is totally different to a free citizens, you learnt that lesson quickly yesterday. I told you when we talked the other day, a slaves life is not good but at least for you it has an end and your dad told me last night when he fetched me to come and collect you that, that end is only four months away. Make sure it stays no more than that Daniel, don't get trapped like I did and have no way out" Tom replied.
"The Master will want to see us as soon as your feeling up to it. Go shower you'll find it in the corner of the laundry, it will make you feel better, I laid out a spare towel for you, mine is the blue one. Whilst your doing that I will go upstairs and get breakfast started.
Daniel felt a strange resentment at Tom calling him just Daniel not master Daniel but he knew it was wrong to feel so superior to Tom. It was just another way his life was changing and he had no control over it.
Tom had cared for Daniel for as long as Daniel could remember. Daniel realised he had taken Tom for granted in the past, he was now beginning to see him in a totally new and different way.
Daniel washed his body and was relieved to find that Tom's shower had both hot and cold water and was inside. Daniel knew a lot of his friends slave facilities were just cold-water outdoor showers, if that!
Feeling totally unnatural being stark naked except for his collar Daniel ascended the stairs from the basement and was again back into familiar territory. He heard Tom scuttling about in the kitchen and went in and pulled out his chair and sat making sure he was tucked as tight as possible under the table to give him a modest amount of privacy.
Tom turned on hearing him enter and said "You're a slave now Daniel, you cant sit there like lord muck expecting to be served. No me boy, up you get, put on that apron I have put over there for you and you can help me cook the families breakfast".
Daniel again blushed, something he had done more in the last twenty-four hours than in his whole previous life combined. He was now the lowest of the low within the house!
As he rose to follow Toms gentle order he covered his genitals.
Tom smiled and said, "I saw what you have last night Daniel, I'm afraid you will need both hands to help me and it's not good hygiene to be fondling your genitals then preparing food. You could ruin my cooking reputation! Tom laughed at his own joke and was glad when it bought a smile on Daniels face as well.
Daniel slowly removed his hand exposing his shaved hairless genitals and his shamefully small penis.
`It's not size that matters Daniel it's how you use it, your dads always telling me that" Tom laughed.
Daniel blushed some more, and desperately wanted to ask Tom why his dad would say that to him but stopped himself.
Tom obviously seeing Daniels intention said with a laugh , "I'm not that well endowed myself me boy, about 4 ¾ inches erect but it satisfies your dad totally".
"Oh" was all Daniel could bring himself to reply.
"Talking out of school Tom" a voice from behind them caused both Tom and Daniel to jump. Now it was Tom's turn to blush.
"Master I am sorry, I was just trying to put things at ease, please master I meant no disrespect" Tom said.
`None taken Tom" Mr Green replied.
You could hear Tom breath out in relief.
"I did say for Daniel to talk to you all about servitude, I guess I have to expect a warts and all review but just go light on the specific details of the relationship between a master and his slave" Mr Green winked at Tom who smiled briefly and then returned to his preparations ordering Daniel around kindly as Mr Green sat and watched..
"Dad umm I mean master, may I ask you something before the family appears?"
"................ Yes, what is it?"
"Ummm well sir you talk like it's just a natural thing what happens between you and Tom, but it's not is it sir, I mean I didn't know about this till I spoke to Tom the other ... um this morning. I am sure Eric and Mel don't know anything, it's a big secret".
"Well it's natural, legal and normal for a master or mistress to use their slaves in any way to assist them. A slave is there to serve his or her masters every wish and desire. Sex is just one aspect of that service. I intended introducing you to this side of servitude when you turned sixteen, the same with your brother and sister but well I just couldn't it didn't seem right to have Tom service you in that way ' said Mr Green.
Daniel looked at his dad but said nothing.
Mr Green sensing he needed to say more said, "Your protected from the worst aspects of servitude whilst a NEWDD. You can't be forced to have full sex and at the moment to can't be forced to have oral sex either. Don't do anything to bring that on, I'm sure Tom will agree with that".
Tom replied "Yes Master I sure do. I made too many mistakes when I was young and now I'm stuck as a slave with you for life".
Daniel glanced between Tom who surprisingly had a smile on his face and his father wondering how his father would take that comment. Mr Green saw the worried look on Daniels face and smiling too said, "Ok son, yes I am going to call you son just this once during your servitude".
"That's why I didn't introduce you to any of Tom's sexual services. I would have set Tom free years ago if I could and he knows that. He deserves more out of life than servitude till his dieing breath but unfortunately his court conviction for assaulting his original master is a life sentence of servitude. Tom has told you I presume about how he came to us?" Mr Green asked.
"Yes dad!" Daniel replied with awe as a new realisation was dawning on him that Tom and his dad's relationship was in fact a lot more than just Master and slave though they had played a very good game up to this point of keeping this aspect well and truly hidden.
After a long pause Daniel just had to ask, "Dad um I mean Master I've seen the canes and things down in the basement. How can you do that to Tom if you feel he should be set free?"
Tom interjected at this point, "Allow me please Master?"
"Yes Tom go ahead" Mr Green said.
"I told you the other day I was lucky to have your parents as Master"
Daniel gasped as the truth of his previous visits was exposed.
Daniel again blushed.
"Ha ha, don't worry, your dad already knows about those visits. As I was saying I am very lucky to have ended up in this family but the best laid plans sometimes fall apart. Your mum and dad agreed years ago with me that I need to keep a `slave feeling'. If I slacked off that would not be fair to them or to the family but even more important it would not be fair to me".
"If and I pray it never happens I should find myself sold to new masters due to circumstances beyond your parents control then for my own safety and existence I need to maintain that `slave feeling' so that I can fit in anywhere as a slave, because that is the only life I can by law now look forward too".
"I told you the other day that I was only punished when I deserved it. That's was the truth. What I didn't elaborate on was that I choose the punishment nearly always. Your dad has never fully got used to punishing me, but he does it as he knows it's his duty and that it helps me keep my slave training standards up. Helps your dad keep other things up too! Tom finished with a huge smile.
`All right Tom that's enough" Mr Green replied in mock anger.
Daniel looked blank for a few seconds then a huge smile appeared on his face, "Ohhhhh" was all he could utter.
Mr Green looked at Daniel and opened his arms wide. Daniel immediately moved over and embraced his dad something he had not done for many years. Whist still holding his son tight Mr Green said, "Son the next four months is going to be hard on you. You need to live those months as a slave. I love you dearly never doubt that but you have to learn from this experience. I could not live through you being fully enslaved".
"I firmly believe it is no good taking it easy on you as that will only lessen the impact of this scheme. Son you are now a NEWDD Community Servant for the next four months and during that time I want you to learn the hard way what its like to be a slave. I want your time in servitude to be so realistic that you will not ever contemplate breaking the law again. But always remember through your darkest moments that your loved and that you can trust Tom emphatically. He will keep me posted on your progress and I will intervene if he feels it necessary, but I hope that I don't have too and that after four months we will be back as a family" Mr Green replied.
Owen Green released his son ruffled up his short cut head hair and said, "Right boy your back on duty, behave like the slave you are for the next four months".
Daniel was feeling far more calmed after that talk and quickly relied, "Yes Master".
Tom could be heard chuckling in the background.
