Alternative Deterrence. By Steam Train (steam_t2000@yahoo.com)
Chapter: 9 Punishment.
Daniel suffered throughout dinner that night as Mrs Green recounted to her husband the medical examination in great detail. Eric and Melissa listened in ruptured concentration to every word. Tom also took in the conversation as he stood discreetly at the back of the dining room whilst the Green family ate the dinner he had prepared.
Thankfully Mrs Green did not recount the physical attributes that Daniel had revealed to the doctor and his mum during the examination, only the procedures.
Daniel made a quick exit to his room after dinner avoiding his brother and sister. Being exhausted from the day he was soon sleeping soundly.
The next morning after breakfast the walk to the bus stop was equally as unpleasant as dinner the previous evening. He could not avoid his brother and sister.
Eric and Melissa pestered him for even more detail than his mum had provided the night before.
At college his `former' friends kept well away from him.
Unfortunately for them they were already being ostracised by the other students themselves. `You can't be friends with a slave' was already being put into place for them as well as Daniel but at least they had each others company. Daniel was all alone.
Daniel's thoughts strayed to Joey one of his friends whom he had snitched on to the police. Joey would be suffering the same isolation treatment but he was. Joey worked as an apprentice electrician and Daniel thought briefly how Joey would be all-alone at work like himself.
Daniel was not used to being a loner. He hated the way the students immediately moved table away from him in the cafeteria when he saw a spare seat and went to sit at it.
One female student even called him a slave' and almost spat the word out at him as she got up and moved. Her friend made the comment loudly back to her friend that at least once Daniel was properly made a slave they wouldn't be forced to move. Slaves had to sit at their own table away from free citizens'.
Whilst eating all alone Daniel looked around the canteen and sure enough in the far left back corner all the naked NEWDD participants had gathered to eat.
He overcame his pride, picked up his tray and made the long walk over to that corner. Eyes followed him and voices murmured. Daniel tried to ignore the taunts and comments and with his head bowed went all the way over to the corner and asked could he join them.
`You have to be a nudie to sit here Green" Greg Pearson one of the sophomore males stated.
"Leave him alone Greg, come sit here" Todd Riddell another 2nd year student responded.
"Ewwwww" went up a smirking cheer from the rest of the table.
"Got a new boyfriend Todd?" Greg asked.
Daniel blushed. He knew his friends had always thought of Todd as being gay, obviously they were not the only ones.
"Lay off Greg we are all in this together and from what I hear Daniels about to join us. We have got to stick together" Todd replied.
"Yeah well Green here and his former friends before he snitched on them made me submit to an examination, a very thorough examination. The way Green felt me up you two will make a lovely pair. It's poetic justice then if Greens about to become a nudie, that's all I can say." Greg replied.
Daniel sat nervously next to Todd.
"Hi I'm Todd Riddell, I've seen you around last year and again this year but we've never shared a class. It's Daniel right?'
`Yeah, Daniel Green".
Todd offered his hand and Daniel though hesitant at catching gay germs gingerly took hold of it and shook.
`Don't worry Daniel you wont catch anything" Todd joked sensing Daniels reluctance.
"Oh no I know that" a blushing Daniel replied.
"Sure Daniel, nah, it's ok I get that reaction a lot".
"Well I mean, well umm it's just that some of the guys, well umm think your gay, but not me, no not me, I don't" Daniel blurted out.
`Oh don't you Daniel, that hand shake kind of said otherwise?"
The others at the table listened intently as the conversation unfolded.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't listen to what others say about you and I really appreciate it that you stood up for me and let me join you here, it really sucks being all alone.
`No probs, besides they are right I am gay!"
Daniel choked on the piece of food he had in his mouth.
Todd had to pat his back as the others at the table burst out laughing.
"Yeah he likes you too Green look at his cock" Greg commented.
It was Todd's turn to blush but he was quickly joined by Daniel who without thinking glanced into Todd's lap and saw his uncut penis fully erect and his penis head pocking out of the skin at the top of his penis.
Todd had a well-proportioned penis and in the sitting position his hairless ball sack looked very impressive squeezed outwards from his groin. There was a small trimmed patch of dark brown pubic hairs surmounting his erection.
Daniel was feeling very uneasy about Todd's obvious reaction and it obviously showed.
"Take it as a compliment Daniel" Todd said with a laugh and then went quickly back to eating his lunch.
This caused Daniel to have another choking fit.
Daniel was just glad to be able to sit with a group of people, even if they were all nude. He didn't even mind having to explain his situation to the group.
After that discussion turned to his medical examination yesterday. The difference here was that they had all undergone a similar experience, so there was much great sympathy and understanding.
He listened as various people around the table talked about their day and how many `reasonable requests' had been made to them. After that the conversation turned to their Sunday Community Service. Most were on litter patrols or tree planting details which they were all now used to doing in public, but both Greg and Todd just commented that "they would be so lucky" and received nodding and murmurs of sympathy from the other nudies, but before Daniel could ask what they did everyone started moving away to class.
After college Daniel came home quickly again. He didn't really want to be caught with Todd after school and he really wanted to talk to Tom again. There was one thing that Tom had said that had played on Daniels mind since their talk on Monday.
Daniel dropped his bag as usual inside the door, there were no other bags so he had beat his brother and sister home.
Tom was not in the kitchen though there were signs he had recently been there preparing food.
Daniel poured himself a drink and then went searching.
The children were not allowed down into the basement. Of course putting such a restriction in place had only built Daniels curiosity as to what exactly was down there. Still he had not snuck down there for a few years.
He knew the laundry was down there and Tom's bedroom was also located down there, he had seen them briefly in past secret visits.
Slowly he opened the door and saw the well-lit stairway descending down below. Daniel took a deep breath and went down. Before he reached the bottom of the stairs he saw Tom loading dirty clothes into a washing machine.
Tom heard Daniels feet on the timber stairs and turned.
"Master Daniel, your father does not allow you down here, you know that!"
`I know Tom but after our talk the other day I need to ask you something" Daniel replied.
"Yes master Daniel what is it, ask quickly and then be back off upstairs, your in enough trouble without adding to it" Tom repostponed.
"Tom the other day you said my parents were good masters, that they only punished you when you deserved it?"
"Yes Master Daniel I did say that".
"Tom I have never seen you punished what did you mean by that comment? How do my parents punish you?
"Master Daniel I am punished in the usual ways very fairly by Master. He only punishes me when I deserve it".
"Tom come on, your holding back, how does dad punish you?
"The paddle, tawse or cane Master Daniel depending on how severe my misbehaviour has been.
"Dad canes you Tom? No never, I don't believe it, he doesn't even smack any of us!" Daniel responded in disbelief.
"Yes Master Daniel I know he does not but it is different for a slave. He is a good master he only punishes me when I deserve it and that is the correct way to train me Master Daniel".
"Prove it Tom, prove to me he punishes you, I don't believe you" Daniel asserted.
"I would not normally do so Master Daniel but as you are likely to be placed into servitude yourself tomorrow I think maybe I should let you see this. Come over here Master Daniel" Tom requested.
He went to a cupboard on the laundry wall and glancing around to see no one was watching he opened it.
`Don't tell Master that I showed you this please Master Daniel" Tom begged.
There neatly laid out in the cupboard were two canes a tawse and a paddle.
Tom quickly closed the door again.
"Those are your fathers Master Daniel. As I warned you, be on your best behaviour. You don't want to find out any more than necessary how much they hurt".
"Oh dad wouldn't punish me Tom I'm nor a slav... Ummm I mean, oh I'm sorry Tom I didn't mean it to sound like that!"
"It is alright Master Daniel but remember from tomorrow you may be a slave and the rules are different for slaves and people are different to slaves than they are to free citizens, even your parents may seem different, mine were all those years ago towards me when I was first indentured.
"Master Daniel I don't know how your father will deal with you after tomorrow, all I can tell you is to be careful, be so very careful please Daniel. I have helped care for you and I do not want to see anything happen to you" Tom pleaded.
"I will be careful Tom" Daniel replied.
"Master Daniel if you think your fathers punishment cabinet is bad, it can produce nothing like what I experienced when I was whipped for striking my first master. You can't imagine what it is like to be whipped. A whipping cuts through to the brain's inner sanctum where we have our being. Once the pain and trauma of the whipping reaches the core of our being, there is no further hiding place".
"The authorities know this and thus ensure that whippings being the ultimate physical punishment are usually severe, designed to facilitate a life long change in a slaves attitude".
"At first Daniel when they whipped me I fought the pain refusing to be cowered, then when I could suffer no more I begged for mercy, but the whipping did not stop until finally Daniel, I abandoned all hope. And yet they continued whipping me. Finally that whipping forced me to surrender my inner being, totally accepting absolute unquestioning servitude and obedience".
"So Master Daniel they whipped any decent out of me, I still have resentment deep within my soul but I have ever since that eventful day accepted my role unquestioningly. You must learn to bear your punishment just as stoically".
"Tom why does dad punish you and treat us so differently?" Tom asked.
"Why Master Daniel?" Tom replied with a bitter edge to his words, because you are free and I am a slave! It is as simple as that. People are bought up and taught at school that slaves like me have no rights, have no feelings, that we are a piece of property, an item, nothing better than an animal, no one is alive now that remembers anything different".
"Tom your not like that, you're a human being just like the rest of us".
"Yes Master Daniel what ever you say sir!" Tom replied real resentment in his voice.
"Tom!!!
"Master Daniel I am sorry I know you meant what you said but after all these years of servitude I still have resentment for what I once had and have lost, my freedom" said Tom.
"Look Master Daniel I should not be telling you all this but I want to prepare you for tomorrow and the days and weeks ahead. You are lucky you are still a juvenile there are special laws that protect you. I was only just16 years old when I was first indentured. I was stripped in court in front of my friends and family. I went from the lifestyle of the free in High School to a training facility shackled and mercilessly beaten. I was kept naked and I was trained how to be a good slave".
"Do you know what that means master Daniel?"
"No" Daniel replied.
"It means not just how to cook, iron and clean it means learning how to sexually satisfy your masters. I was a virgin master Daniel. That added to my sale price and my appeal to the buyers. I didn't stay a virgin for long. I am used to doing it now but I would still hate being forced to do it. You are lucky in the NEWDD programme there are laws to protect you from penetration and even oral sex is tightly controlled. Just be very careful you don't re offend after you turn 21 master Daniel, your parents would be distraught to loose you, so would I" Tom concluded.
"Tom what did you mean when you said `I am used to doing it now but I would still hate being forced to do it'?"
"Oh nothing master Daniel it was just a phrase" Tom replied quickly realising his error.
"Tom you are not a good liar, what did you mean?" Daniel asserted.
"Umm well Master Daniel your father uses me for what I have been trained. Your mother has never bothered but she could, it's her right. I am here to be of service in whatever way I can to my masters. But please master Daniel don't let on that you know this. It is something your father must tell you" Tom replied somewhat abashed.
`You mean Dad is a fag?"
"No master Daniel nearly all free men use their male slaves like that. It has saved a lot of marriages, the husband gets his sexual relief and he does not need to go outside the house to get it" Tom told Daniel.
"That's disgusting, I can't believe dad does that with you. Your old and well he's only middle aged, yuck I feel like puking" Daniel responded.
"Master Daniel I am only 50 years of age is that old? Well you are still young, stay as innocent as you are for as long as you can. I lost my innocence to the system, I just pray you don't come out of all this so hardened that that you are for ever changed for the worse not the better".
`But Tom dad has sex with you and mum knows?" a flabbergasted Daniel asked still trying to comprehend what he had just learnt.
"Yes Master Daniel, that's the way it has developed, the way it is and the way it will continue".
Daniel was going to ask more questions about his dad and Tom but he heard the front door open and close loudly as Eric and Melissa came home from school so Daniel hurried out the laundry door into the back yard so as not to get Tom or himself into trouble.
As Daniel hurried away Tom heaved a sigh of relief that they had been interrupted. He had a gut feeling that he had been saved from Daniel asking a series of very embarrassing questions.
Dinner that night was a family celebration of Daniels 19th birthday, which was tomorrow. Mr and Mrs Green had decided to celebrate it that night seeing tomorrow it seemed likely Daniel would spend his actual 19th birthday as a nudie.
Tom had prepared a special meal of all Daniels favourites but unfortunately the nervous dyspepsia about tomorrow's proceedings meant that Daniel didn't enjoy the meal as much as he normally would have.
He opened his presents after dinner, which turned out to be nearly all clothes. The irony of this was not lost on him!
Throughout dinner Daniel couldn't help staring at his father and again at breakfast on the Friday morning. He still couldn't believe that his dad did that!
Owen Green obviously felt the cold eyes of his eldest son perusing him. Half way through breakfast he admonished his son "Daniel it's rude to stare, what's up with you! Anyone would think your blaming me for the situation you find yourself in today. I don't want you acting like this in court understand young man".
Turning to Tom he stated, "Attitude gets a slave nothing but a longer sentence, does it Tom? You learnt all about attitude when you were young didn't you Tom?
"Yes Master" Tom quickly replied.
"Yes you sure did. Oh by the way I want to see you in my study before we go to court please Tom, there are a few loose ends I need to tie up depending on the courts decision" Mr Green informed Tom.
"Daniel it would do you well if your enslaved today to have a long talk with Tom tonight and learn from his mistakes.
"Right everyone" Mrs Green broke in "It's getting late and we all have to dress for court. Tom make sure the children all dress in their Sunday best. I want us to create the right impression and I don't want us to be late!
"Yes mam" Tom replied.
In unison Eric and Melissa replied, "Awww mum our Sunday best, we will look like dorks".
"That's enough you two. Think yourself lucky your wearing clothes; I suspect your brother would be very glad to still be wearing his Sunday best after his court sentencing, however it might be appropriate it's his birthday, a fitting day to appear in his birthday suit! Now quickly off you go," Mrs Green joked.
