The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

Finally, the water in the vat reached the brim.

The sprinkler stopped automatically.

"Kain, Tobias should go first. After acquainting him with the water vat, the next event is the electric chair." Tekita said, "After Tobias, Yulia, Griffin, Turner, Joey, Gianna, Bryant, Jimmy and Edna should experience their punishments in that order." Kain nodded.

The other three aliens came closer to our position to monitor us.

Kain's hair grew rapidly before wrapping itself around Tobias body.

Fear coated Tobias' face.

Kain brought Tobias to the water vat.

He held Tobias' head directly above the water with his hand. His fingers was holding Tobias' hair in a tight grip.

I felt pity for Tobias.

His mouth was twitching in fear but he didn't say anything.

That was impressive.

Begging wouldn't really do anything. The fury on Tekita's face assured me of this fact.

Suddenly, Kain pushed Tobias' head into the water vat.

Tobias struggled violently.

He moved like a worm.

His two hands were already in a lock. Kain's hair held him captive.

Bubbles rose to the surface of the water vat. As the bubbles popped, Tobias' cries sounded.

A chill ran down my spine.

After a few seconds, Kain dragged Tobias' head out of the vat.

Tobias opened his jaws and inhaled air greedily. Something choked him and he started to cough violently.

A few moments later, Kain dunked Tobias' head into the water vat again.

He didn't give him a chance to breath properly.

Kain continued to repeat his actions.

All colors drained from Tobias' face.

His pupils were dilated and his mouth remained slack.

After an unknown amount of time, Kain stopped dipping Tobias' head in water.

He dragged him away from the water vat like a rag doll.

Kain brought Tobias to the electric chair.

He dumped Tobias on the chair.

The cuffs connected to the chair closed automatically

"087, start the electric session." Kain ordered with an expressionless face.

[Order received.] 087 replied.

The Artificial voice didn't slack off at all.

The moment the last word said by the synthetic female alien voice dropped, Tobias began to convulse.

An annoying sound caused by high-speed electric cells and electrolytes moving filled the whole area. The buzzing sound pricked my ears over and over again.

Finally, Tobias stopped moving erratically.

Within the next five seconds, he started convulsing again.

The electric chair kept working periodically.

Like the water punishment, Tobias wasn't given the time to recover.

Tobias' face became pasty and pale.

"Enough! It's time for the rest to pay their dues. We can't harm them too much. These people are our precious commodity after all." Tekita commanded. 087 stopped the electric shock treatment immediately.

The cuffs on Tobias' body loosened before opening up.

Tobias didn't have any strength left. He looked like he was half-dead.

He slumped sideways.

The sound of Tobias colliding with the hard surface of the vehicle's horizontal wall made me flinch.

That must hurt badly.

One of the three aliens dragged him away from the chair like an expired meat bag.

The aliens brought Tobias to our metal tent.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

A few seconds later, the alien came back alone.

He must have dropped Tobias in one of the miniscule rooms.

The other humans received the same treatment. The punishments left them in a semi-unconscious star.

The aliens brought the punished humans into our metal tent without fail.

Soon, it was my turn.

Waiting for my punishment was excruciating.

My heartbeats raced with every human that got punished.

Kain's hair wrapped around my body and brought me to the water vat.

"Ah." Tekita sighed, "I had great expectations for you, Edna. I can't believe you joined them in their escape. I thought you were smarter than that. I guess I was wrong." I didn't reply.

My brain couldn't conjure any reply. Anything I said would be redundant. Tekita might not even believe my words.

It was better for me not to bother.

If we didn't escape, Tekita would still feel suspicious. After tonight, he would still double his vigilance against us. His surveillance would not be very tight though. Our escape changed everything.

If our escape was successful, then everything would be well and good.

Now, our escape would just be a means for Tekita to put his mind at rest while increasing his vigilance. He would watch us like hawks watching chicks from now on. We would be prisoners in every sense of the word.

He would not let the golden ducks in his hands fly away without generating money for him.

"Go on, Kain." Tekita continued.

Kain heeded his order immediately. He didn't waste any time.

He dipped my head into the water vat.

Having my head in the water wasn't hard at first.

Before I could blink, the air in my lungs reduced and my chest hurt.

I knew my lungs wanted oxygen.

Kain was having none of that though.

He kept my head in the water.

My intentions to keep calm flew out of the window.

I moved my body in every way I could. I wanted find a chance to inhale the oxygen I desperately craved.

My fingers scratched the hair tying me up and I wiggled like a worm.

My legs tried to kick my body away from the vat.

It didn't work.

Kain's hand was like an iron clamp.

It held my head in place without moving.

Water stung my open eyes.

The water rushed into my nose and mouth as I struggled.

My movements began to weaken.

I could not draw strength from my body anymore.

My nose, eyes, chest and throat stung.

The pain was blinding.

I felt like I could not hold on anymore.

Kain released his hold on my head at was at this despairing moment.

My head flew out of the water.

I gulped the air around me like a thirsty traveller.

The pain attacking my lungs reduced.

If you're loving the book, nel5s.org is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Before I could recover from the first drowning session, Kain pressed my head into the water vat again.

He kept repeating his actions.

I was numb.

Both mentally and physically.

I just followed his actions like a rag doll.

The time I could hold my breath for became shorter with each dip.

The pain in my chest, eyes, nose and throat multiplied.

Finally, Kain stopped pushing my head into the water in the vat.

He dragged me to the electric chair.

The cold cuffs clamped my limbs.

"087, start." Kain said.

An electric current passed through my body.

My whole body cried out in agony.

The electric current wasn't strong enough to fry me immediately, it would just give me maximum pain while keeping me alive.

The water content in my body acted as a medium for the electric current.

Pain bloomed in every cell my body had.

"Ah!" A scream tore itself out of my throat.

I convulsed from the pain.

A few seconds flew by and the chair stopped supplying electric currents.

I leaned my whole weight on the chair as I breathed slowly.

The electric currents resumed a while later. It kept coming in short bursts. A tiny space for rest was sandwiched in-between the electric chair's activation time.

The pain made my brain fuzzy.

I don't know how long have passed.

The shackles holding me down loosened and I slumped on the chair.

Thankfully, I didn't hit the ground like Tobias.

It wouid have been the cherry on my ice cream of pain.

A tight grip dragged me away from the chair.

I knew it should be one of the aliens.

Tekita was really angry this time.

He found a way to punish us without crippling us physically.

This move he brought out suppressed any further thoughts of escape for now. Besides, he would be more watchful.

The nearest future looked bleak.
