Chapter 35 – Human Again – Part 1 of 2
Even muted by the curtains, the morning sun was strange enough to wake her. Early in the night, she had rolled over onto her stomach, drawn her knees up to her chest and put her arms in the same position they had been locked into for so long. Her chin rested on a pillow, supporting her head in the position she had been in for so long. Instead of cold hard metal, she felt a soft mattress and bedding supporting and surrounding her. Her mouth was closed though, but only by the weight of her head against the pillow where she rested her chin. The position was the only one she felt comfortable in.
She opened her eyes. Instead of seeing the empty beige wall, she saw stacked pillows and the headboard of the bed. It was hard to believe. She was free. Mostly. Her hands were still confined, and her vagina was still sewn shut, but that doctor had promised to do something about them tomorrow…today now. In truth, her confined hands and sewn vagina felt normal. What didn’t feel normal was everything else. She was…free. Rescued! By Carol. And Carol still loved her.
She breathed in deeply, letting that relief wash through her. Sudden movement next to her caught her attention. Slowly and painfully, she tried to turn her head to the side, but she didn’t get far before Carol was moving up closer to her. She felt Carol’s arm going around her waist, and then her head was next to hers. Soft loving lips kissed her cheek.
“Morning,” Carol said softly. “How are you?”
How was she? In truth, she was fantastic, only because she was free. All the other things, the pain, the stiffness, the things that were still wrong with her, didn’t matter. All that matter was that she was free. It was amazing and fantastic. Her jaw and mouth worked better today. “Good,” she managed to say normally. She felt Carol kiss her cheek again, and with some effort, Brandy was able to turn her head far enough to the side so the two of them could kiss properly. Love. After being reduced to nothing for so long. After being a thing instead of a person for so long. Love was the biggest difference. And she felt that love strongly from Carol.
“Time to roll over again and stretch out,” Carol told her.
Stretched out wasn’t comfortable. But Brandy knew Carol was right. She rolled her body over and painfully stretched all her limbs out straight.
Carol kissed her lips again. “I’ll have Natalia run you another bath,” she told Brandy. “Then, do you think you feel up to coming downstairs for breakfast? If not, I can have something brought up for you?”
The bath sounded great. She’d had several the evening before. The warm water seemed to help the pain and stiffness, not to mention how simply wonderful the warm baths felt. “I want to be human again,” she replied.
Carol kissed her again. “Good!” She got up and went to the door to find Natalia, but Natalia was already waiting out in the hallway. “Bath time,” she told the maid. “Then she wants to go down for breakfast.”
Natalia smiled. She had done as much as she could last night to help Miss Brandy. She hurried into the room and straight for the bathroom there to draw Brandy’s bath.

Clothes! She had been naked for so long, in front of so many people, it barely meant anything to her anymore. But wearing clothes again, real clothes, had an effect on her that she hadn’t anticipated. More than anything else so far, the clothes that Natalia and Carol were helping to dress her in seemed to emphasize that she wasn’t a thing. She wasn’t a dumb piece of furniture. She was human!
After she had the simple underwear, slacks, and shirt on…no bra, Carol took off to get ready for breakfast herself. While Carol was gone, Natalia started working on her hair. The brushing felt wonderful. Natalia had washed her hair last night the second time she had been put into the tub, but today, the brushing felt better than ever. She relaxed, closing her eyes and savoring the feeling…as her mouth unconsciously dropped into its usual open position.
A short while later, Carol was back. With Carol holding onto her tightly, Brandy slowly made her way down the stairs. She was walking. Going down stairs, mostly by herself. She was moving around. Going places. She was…human again. It seemed like every little new thing that she did emphasized that fact loud and clear. Even if her hands were crushed and no longer worked anymore, even if she didn’t have a vagina anymore, it wouldn’t matter. What mattered was that she was human. She was moving around on her own. She could talk. She could do things. She was human.
The breakfast table was set elegantly…like she remembered it. The only people she saw besides Carol, were the servants as they finished the breakfast preparations. Carol pulled out a chair for her and she sat – like a human – at a table. Carol sat right next to her.
“Coffee?”
There was still some stiffness as she turned her head to look at the woman with the coffee pot. “Yes please,” she replied as politely as she could. She waited while the woman poured some coffee into the cup. She reached out to pick up the cup, but she couldn’t. She had no hands. Frustrated, she set her useless hands back in her lap. But as she did, she saw Carol reaching for her coffee cup. Carol held it to her lips and tipped it up very slowly. Her mouth worked much better now, and she was able to drink some. “Thanks,” she said, still frustrated that she couldn’t do it for herself. But she was sitting at a table like a human being. She was drinking coffee like a real person. Never mind that Carol had to help her. She was human again.
“Good morning!”
Brandy turned her head and saw Janice approaching the table. She went to Carol, hugged her and gave her a brief peck on the cheek. Brandy was surprised when Janice did the same for her before going to the head of the table to sit down. The servant was there immediately pouring her coffee.
Susan Wu and her father came into the room. Something about seeing Mr. Wu there sent a tiny bit of fear through Brandy, but she pushed it away.
“Morning!” the male voice from behind her was a surprise…and just the sound of it brought a touch of fear, even though Brandy knew that voice very well. She felt hands touching her shoulder. She felt her uncle leaning over her. “Hi kid,” he said. “Welcome back.”
One of her bound up hands went up to touch his. “Thanks,” she said simply. She watched as her Uncle Vinny moved around to the other side of the table with Sammy and they sat down to eat. And then the doctor came in. The strange man who had helped get her out of that cage. He had visited her twice in her room last night, never doing more than just checking on her. But she supposed that had been enough. She couldn’t wait until he could free her hands…and she feared it just as much. She had heard the comments he had made to the others about the possibility of her hands being crushed too much. But still, even without hands, she would be human again.
She knew that Janice hated men – passionately. But looking around the table, there were four men sitting there this morning. She found that strange. She wondered how Janice felt about it. She knew how she felt. In truth, all the men around her were making her nervous.
Servants came in and set plates of food in front of each of them. Eggs. Toast. The whole nine yards. It looked and smelled wonderful. Brandy couldn’t wait to start eating. It was a good thing her hands were useless, because she would have dug in immediately. She was about to turn to Carol to ask for her help, when Janice began saying grace. She had forgotten that odd little quirk about the woman. Fortunately, grace didn’t last long, and as soon as she was done, she saw Carol sticking a fork into the food on her plate.
Brandy opened her mouth wide, ready for her first taste of real solid food in…what seemed like years! She felt the food going into her mouth. Her mouth closed around the fork, pulling it off. And tears ran down her face. Solid food. It was the first bit of solid food she had eaten in a very long time. It was all she could do not to sob with joy. Eating was slightly painful. Not only was her jaw stiff and hard to move, all the places in her mouth where the ring gag had been attached still hurt. But she was eating – food! Real food! Never mind that Carol had to feed her every bite, she was still eating – like a human!
She was human!

The breakfast dishes had been cleared from the table, but everyone else remained. It was time. Dr. Xiang moved and sat next to Brandy. Brandy put both her bound hands on the table. Xiang picked up her right hand and held it to examine it closely again.
“I don’t think the bones are broken,” Brandy told him. “As the leather dried, it hurt for a long time. Then…I couldn’t feel anything anymore.”
Xiang nodded. “We will see. He used a scalpel to cut the laces. Very gently, he tried to peel back the leather, but gently wasn’t working. The leather was still too tight. He cut more of it, doing is best to not cut into Brandy’s hands. Finally, the leather cover came off. Underneath, the doctor was surprised to find layers of tape holding her hand in the closed position. He quickly guessed that the tape holding her fingers in the right position had made putting the leather covers on much easier. His scalpel went to work on the tape, creating an opening, then he pulled. The tape came off and Brandy’s hand was revealed – crushed into an unnatural position.
Xiang studied the hand and especially the fingers carefully. He felt each bone in her hand as best he could. “You may be lucky,” he said softly, still examining the hand. “Here we go,” he said as he grabbed her thumb. Very gently but firmly, he pulled the thumb out straight. Brandy cried out in pain. Xiang stopped and felt the bone in her thumb again, he didn’t think it was broken and the joint appeared to okay as well. “I don’t think it’s broken,” he told her. “It has just been held too tightly for too long. He moved the thumb a little bit, then moved on to the next finger.
One by one, he pried each finger free, examining each one carefully. “I believe you have been very lucky,” he told Brandy. Like the rest of your body, your fingers will need exercise for you to regain full use of them, but otherwise, I see no other problems.”
Brandy’s face contorted in pain as she tried to open and closer the fingers of her hand. They moved, but with difficulty and pain. But…they moved!
Xiang started on her other hand. It was another slow and painful process, but eventually Brandy had two hands again. Even more human! She vowed that the next time she sat down to eat, she would feed herself! “Thanks,” she told the doctor, a bit breathlessly as she tried to painfully work her fingers.
“Now we must see to the last part of what they did to you,” Xiang told her. “Your vagina.” He looked up at Susan. “Perhaps the bedroom would be the best place?”
“Definitely!” Susan agreed.
“I think this is our cue to leave,” Vinny announced. He went around and hugged Brandy. “I’m glad they found you, and everything seems like it’s going to be okay. Sammy and I are going home now. Call if you need anything. Love you kid.”
This time, Brandy was actually able to grab his hand with hers. “Love you too, Uncle Vinny.”
Vinny looked over at Carol. “I take it you’re going to find this guy Vince and put an end to him?”
It was Susan that answered. “We already know where he is and we’re tracking him closely.”
“I don’t plan on killing him,” Carol told him. “I plan to capture him. He’s going to wish we had killed him instead.”
“And I’m looking forward to working with him,” Janice added.
After seeing what Janice was capable of, Vinny only nodded. There was no doubt about it, Janice could be a fate worse than death. He was glad she had told him that she would never come after him.
“Thanks,” Vinny told Janice. “Take care of my niece.”
“Don’t worry,” Janice replied. “We will.”
Vinny had no doubt at all that Brandy was in good hands. “Take care kid,” he said as he patted Brandy’s shoulder, then he and Sammy headed up to their rooms to pack.
“The bedroom then,” Xiang said as he too got up from the table.
As they all headed slowly for the stairs, Susan stopped Xiang and whispered. “This time, if you have to do anything to her, don’t cause her any pain. If it’s necessary, as I have no doubt it will be, a little anesthetic might be advisable.
Xiang got the message loud and clear. “Of course,” he agreed.
The only man in the room was Doctor Xiang, but the room still seemed to be filled with people. Brandy was totally naked again, a state that no longer bothered her in the least. As Xiang prepared a local anesthetic, her eyes swept briefly around the room. Carol was sitting on the bed right there next to her, holding tightly onto her hand. Susan Wu hovered nearby with Janice slightly behind her. Both Natalia and Susannah were looking on from the other side of the bed. Brandy felt more comfortable with all the women surrounding her. She would have felt even better if the doctor wasn’t there. But the doctor had to be there. Why couldn’t they have sent for a woman doctor? She was grateful though, so she said nothing.
“Little prick,” Xiang said softly to Brandy as he held the hypodermic needle ready.
Brandy’s first thought though was to think that the size of someone’s dick that was about to enter her, but the slight pain she felt quicky dissolved that illusion. Her muscles tightened at the pain that was probably amplified because the shot had been given in such a sensitive place. She felt the needle being removed.
“And again,” Xiang said.
Brandy felt the pain from the needle again, now in a different place, then again, then one more time. Four shots of the local anesthetic. Each shot had hurt, but at least it was over now. Now all she needed was to get that cable out of her vagina. As she thought about that, memories of making love with Carol flashed through her mind. Wonderful memories. Would she ever be able to feel what she had felt before? She desperately hoped so.
“Can you feel this?” Xiang asked.
“What?” Brandy asked, her mind coming back to what was happening.
Xiang nodded and grabbed the wire cutters that had been found for him to work with.
The only thing Brandy could feel down there was some slight tugging. No feeling at all really. Just like it had been since she had been captured. No feeling. No pleasure. No love. She felt Carol’s hand tighten briefly against hers.
Carol leaned over. “How you doin?” she asked.
“Good,” Brandy replied, turning her head to Carol and managing to kiss her lips. “I’m just praying I’ll be able to enjoy something again. Anything! Even just a little bit.”
Carol kissed her lips again. “You will Babe. I promise.”
While the slight tugging and pulling continued, Brandy’s mind went back to remembering the love sessions between her and Carol. Love. Love. Love. She’d been to bed with many men before. Several women too. But none of them came close to what she felt with Carol. None of them! As Xiang continued to work on her, she remembered those wonderful steamy sessions where they expressed their feelings for each other.
Love.
