The Tower

Chapter 6

It's been too many years now. It has been kind of zen and slowly, not known to the scientists, the paralysis is healing. When they leave for the night and the lazier night watch comes out I can move my head back enough to be comfortable. Also, they have me in these weird diaper pads that look like underwear with flaps and Demo has a curtain come down around me when changing them cause it's embarrassing. The black curtain comes down and I sigh, she still has to keep track of my bodily functions like when I soil myself.

The robot arms come down and... Still nothing, I can't feel anything but I can see just fine. I didn't like having to be cared for like a baby. But at the same time, at least two people care about my needs, Demo and Azriel.

I want to be able to do things myself, I really do, but I just can't; can't move or speak or feel half my body. I move my wings to be more comfortable and fiddle with my new laptop. Demo rigged it to work right off the power I produce and taught me how to use it. I look at my belly and see my ribs, I'm on a nutrients only diet, a little fat and carbs when I get too thin. The scientists keep me alive for power and I've noticed I am getting pale compared to others, almost white.

I have the browser open on my computer, reading some comic about vampires, it was interesting. It was called Transfusions. Normally the gays are shunned but, I found something arousing to watch two men go at it. A dark urge slips in and I feel something tingling between my legs.

"Demo did I just wet myself?" I think, knowing she heard me. Thanks to the neurological link to my nervous system she can tell my thoughts and what my body did.

"No, why did you feel something down there?" She replies.

"I want the curtain around me. I wanna try something please." I ask softly. The curtain lowers around me and I slide my hand down to my slit. I had read about the feeling of 'getting off', it looked fun and said girls feel a warm tingle when they are in need of this. I had read the whole article and want to try some of the stuff I read.

I slide my fingers along the little bump and feel it tingle more, I could feel down there. I rub the bump and my body moves a little. I rub more, faster and a bit harder. I feel my wings fluff out more and a warm tingle spreads to what I could feel. I keep going, rubbing more and feeling a small wet hole. I nudge it with a finger and feel something really wonderful. I glance back at the comic sex scene and do more. I watch purplish pink energy flow and let it, unable to let out noises like in the comic but moving my lips to the shapes they did, reading the sounds they would make, it feels wonderful.

I use the hand that wasn't busy the scroll through the comic, still toying with my fingers. As I go I bite my lip and for the first time in two months, I taste something. I take my hand out of my underwear and wipe off something I feel on my fingers.

"Lift the curtain, let them see and do not heal me." I ask of her and Demo does so.

I touch my lip and see it was gushing black blood. I catch it in my hands and lick it up, swallowing and seeing that the scientists all are watching. I lick it all up and suck on my lip, it tasted like the sweetest candies after my mouth had gone numb from lack of flavor. I suck and suck till it stops bleeding, the entire lab watched. I touch my lips and notice I was smiling at last. The taste is so sweet and yummy. I want more but this hurt to do.

I open my laptop and go to a word document.

What happens now, doctor? Going to shut me down, how long will you do this? Every day I see you die a little more, and every day you know I get a little stronger. So how long will you play this disgusting game of yours?

I tap the neck cord and Demo broadcasts it to the speakers outside the orb.

"Christian this is childish of you, stop at once." Green snips and I roll my eyes, writing more.

"You aren't my father nor my guardian. You are just some tiny man that's outlived his time. Just give up Green, time's up. It's immoral to prolong your life with mine. Get yours over with Green, it's far past your time, you old fossil." I don't know where in my mind this came from, but it needed to be said, I could tell it was true. Since meeting him he has not aged a day, but I have, something has always been slightly off.

"Shut down her mental functions, everything, make her into a battery, I...
I'm done fighting this." Green says and I grab the cord that is in my neck, holding tightly.

"P-please Azriel, don't let them do this to me! This is an order!! You wanna have me as your princess you protect me from this!!" I scream in my head, holding the cord ready to fall and watching every last moment I can but the hologram gets thicker and I can't see anything but the stars.

"As you wish, my princess." That's all I hear before everyone goes quiet.

I close and open my eyes and let go of a breath I was holding. The hologram fades to show something I really can't believe.

Doctor Green was lying on the ground, kicking and struggling and holding his chest. It looked like he just fell over on his own, like a heart attack or stroke or a seizure. The scientists and doctors rush over to help him but I can see, it's too late for him. His spirit is almost out of his body. He is dead but they don't know it yet.

Azriel looks to me and gives me a little smile and a head bow. I nod back and relax against my beanbag bed. I pull the game back up and calm down, I see I was giving off the red stuff and calm myself down before I could cause any trouble. The lab is too focused on Green so I take this time to practice moving. Making my jaw move, my head able to be supported by my neck, my back move a little bit so I don't stiffen up feels wonderful.
