Vivid Dream Reality Book 2 Chapter 1

Chapter 1 General Pearson's POV

I watched the recorded press conference and subsequent kidnapping footage from the beginning. This was looking like a clusterfuck and I wanted nothing to do with it. Rule number one, if you are going to make someone disappear, no one must know about it.

Dr Sinclair was an arrogant prick who was so pissed that someone else had figured it out before him. According to information from Dr Marsden at the press conference, they could only produce women anyway. What use is a woman on a battlefield? I was getting a lot of heat to make this embarrassment go away, but I needed some kind of positive result to save my arse.

My intelligence officer was in deep shit for not knowing about those cameras, if I can just prove that Dr Sinclair is wrong about their abilities, I can shove the rest of the shit coming from above onto him. Maybe, just maybe that will save my career. Maybe I can rig the tests somehow. If I can do that, then we can release them. They have to be undamaged though.

They could be the key to helping the transgendered, who cared, there was no political will about that. They could be the key to helping people with physical disabilities, no one really cares about that either, or at least no one with any power. It was a potential cure for cancer, now we are in trouble. Everybody knows somebody close to them who has either died, suffered or been damaged by the deadly disease. Hell, even I knew somebody, and I was not going to be responsible for killing off a possible cure.

I paused the recording and phoned Dr Sinclair.

“General.”

“Tell me again, exactly what you have planned.”

“From the MRI...”

“Details, doctor, details.”

“Umm..I am going to perform a surgical procedure to remove an egg from each ovary, then we leave the opening in place and each time she produces a new egg, we can harvest it. We fertilize it with our best male specimens and implant it in a surrogate.”

“You haven't even proved that there is anything special about them.”

“What are you talking about? I sent you their eyesight and hearing test results. I tested them for strength and they were significantly above average.”

“Why don't I have those results?”

“I told you, my computer caught a virus and destroyed my data. We can test them again.”

“I will devise the testing and no surgery. There must be no evidence of damage. Can you do it without surgery?”

“Yes, but it would be trickier and take more time. I can go through the vagina...”

“I don't need that information, thank you. Was this for both girls?”

“No. The MRI only showed the abnormal ovaries on the green eyed specimen.”

“Specimen? Really? How many eggs can you remove, how often?”

“Two eggs at a time. One from each side. I imagine they will take a month to regenerate.”

“I will keep them sedated. Do the removal tomorrow, no surgery or any evidence of tampering. Then we will have to release them. You better manage to succeed with those two eggs or both our careers will be toast.” If he doesn't succeed, I can blame him for the failure. If he gets a surrogate pregnant, it will be nine months before any results and a lot longer before any real results will be available. Enough time for me to be retired. Forget testing them, this is much better.

Tia's POV

I woke up confused. I was in a hospital bed with my wrists handcuffed to the side railings. There was an IV stand with an empty IV bag leading to a tube inserted in my wrist. The last thing I could remember was heading to my suite in Lagbit's world. No, that wasn't quite true. I think I woke up from that and remember being unable to take the headset off because my hands were handcuffed together. Then I was fighting some unknown person. They were straightening my arm and I was trying to prevent that, but I didn't succeed and then I felt a pin prick, like a needle going in.

I had been kidnapped. What about everybody else? “Vee!, Katie!, Roni!” I shouted.

I heard a faint voice. “Tia!” It was Vee. I would recognise that voice anywhere.

I waited to see if our shouting would get any response, but I literally couldn't hear anything else. I had pretty good hearing now and usually if I listened carefully I could hear the sounds of footsteps, talking or some kinds of rattle or bangs as things were moved. There were some faint outside sounds like cars and such, but nothing close.

I decided to stick with Elven, since I didn't know if anyone else could hear us. “Vee are you alright?”

“I think so. I feel a bit sore, but everything is working. I can't hear anybody else. I think they have abandoned us.” She replied in Elven.

“Are you tied down?” I asked.

“Yes, my feet as well. Very undignified.”

“I am going to try and get my hands free.” I told her. My hands had become a lot more slender and there was a flexibility with them that I didn't have before the transformation. It had been very handy in the bedroom on Lagbit's world, I wondered if I could do something similar now. I don't know how long I had been kept unconscious, but my breasts had developed further and right now I was really hungry.

I squeezed my hand into its smallest profile and worked at pulling it through the handcuff on my non IV side. It was a bit tight but I felt with a bit of patience it would work.

“How is it going?” Vee asked.

“I think I am getting somewhere.” Slowly so very slowly, almost a millimetre at a time I worked my hand loose. “Yes! One down, one to go.” I told her. I pulled the IV needle out and then started trying to work my other hand free. Again, slowly it was working until finally it was free. It was a bit easier since I could use one hand to hold the handcuff and wriggle the other out.

“I did it! I'm coming to find you. Start counting and I will follow your voice.” I was in a hospital gown and nothing else, but I trusted my hearing that said we were alone. My door wasn't locked, so I followed Vee's voice and entered an operating theatre. I thought she would be in a bed like me, but she was on an operating table. They hadn't even bothered to put a hospital gown on her. Her hands had been zip tied to the sides of it and her feet tied the same, leaving her spread open in a very undignified way. A hot surge of anger rushed through me, but I tamped it down. That was not what she needed right now, so I rushed up to her and gave her a hug.

“Honey, just hold on. I'm going to get something to cut these things and set you free.”

“Hold on. Very funny. I'll just wait here shall I?”

Beneath her humour I could tell she was freaking out. I struggled to find anything sharp in the room and realized that I was going to have to leave her to look elsewhere. I took off my hospital gown and covered her with it. “I need to look elsewhere, but I don't want to leave you so we are going on a ride.” I unlocked the wheels and went through the door.

“Tia.”

“Yes honey.”

“Apart from maybe a bit of height, I think the rest of you is complete. Your face looks like it does on Lagbit's world.”

“Do you have any idea how long we have been here?”

“No. The last thing I remember we were heading back to our suite on Lagbit's world.”

“I remember waking up and being stabbed with a needle, then nothing.” I walked naked down the corridor and headed for the exit. “I can hear some cars outside. I think I should head outside and get some help.”

“I would say that you are not looking your best, but you look amazing. Enough to stop traffic. Are you going to be alright going outside with no clothes on?”

“I might get a little embarrassed.”

“Just a little.”

I leaned down and kissed her on the lips. It wasn't a long kiss or a passionate one, but it was a caring one and made us both feel better.

The exit, funnily enough was locked, but the bolts and locking mechanism was on the inside so I was able to undo it and wheel us out onto the street. This wasn't our city, hell, it wasn't even our country. We had no idea where we were. Wherever we were it wasn't well travelled and we had to wait a few minutes for a car to come along, but when it did, I waved to grab the drivers attention. Note to self, waving your arms above your head while naked really makes your breasts say hello.

The first car honked loudly and carried on. Fortunately, the second car that drove up stopped. A big African American gentleman got out, he left the car in the middle of the street.

“What the hell?” He asked.

I say gentleman, because that is what he was. He gave me his jacket to cover myself and allowed me to use his phone. I wanted to call Brett, but when you plug numbers into your phone, you don't tend to remember them. Instead, I had to look up VDR entertainment and ring reception. I was then rapidly put through to Roni. She got me to pass the phone back so he could tell them where we were and he promised to stay with us until help arrived. He had a toolbag in his boot, so we were able to free Vee, but I got her to stay on the operating table, unless she wanted to flash the world like I had. He didn't have any more clothes to offer us.

Within five minutes the police and ambulance arrived and we had to tell our story. They wanted to separate us, but we both resisted that and refused to leave each other's side. We found out that it was Friday, three days later. Vee needed to have the rape kit used. We don't know what happened but she was sore where she shouldn't be. There was a lot of hand holding and tears, but we would get through it, together. We were taken by ambulance to another hospital. The media was already waiting and we had to go through a barrage of flashes to get inside. At least I was given a set of scrubs to cover myself up with and Vee was taken through on a stretcher with blankets covering everything.

We were met there by a walking Katie, albeit using a walker, Roni and Brett. I think we all cried, even Brett.

Since they have sam...

Time for a little video journey for sam where they can use a truth spell on her. Stealing an elven egg will not make you their friend and I for one would not wish to be their enemy. The good doctor better grow a second pair of eyes so he can see when they come for him. There are already four known elves in the real world with more to come, all bound to their princess.

I suspect that trying to

I suspect that trying to fertilize the eggs with sperm won't work. Possibly not even with elven sperm.

If he accidentally puts both eggs in one container they might join up though and form a blastocyst(?). Not sure it'd grow properly if inserted in a human host mother though.

Best for all concerned if the eggs *don't* result in a child.

Oh yeah, good thing the doc isdn't up on fertility treatments (or didn't have time). There are drugs that will cause the release of multiple eggs at once for harvesting. Like a dozen or more.

Back together! Hope they can catch everyone involved.

Wow harvesting eggs?

From a lagbit elf and implanting into a surrogate human mother after using human male sperm to fertilize it. What can go wrong with that...ROTF!

About the only way they are going to end up with a fertilized egg is if it is already fertilized, (Remember us readers still have no idea how this is accomplished by two female elves.) Big question is can human sperm even fertilize an elf egg?

As a woman's ovaries alternate the natural release of eggs, if he is lucky enough to harvest a fertilized egg he would only find one in this condition.

Another question is what would carrying a fertilized elf egg to full term in a human do to the growing elf child or the surrogate mother

We the willing, led by the unsure. Have been doing so much with so little for so long,
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

The eggs

I don’t think it will work because the way I understand it Tia has to be involved for children to be created. Katie is walking it worked. Did you mean to imply Dr. Marsden was in on it?

General Referring to News Conference

I took it that the general was referring to what Dr. Marsden had said in the news conference. I hope Vee wasn't damaged by that idiot Sinclair. It's likely she could be repaired (in the game) if she was.

Yay for Katie

I know right? That Katie is even partially walking will mean so absolutely much more for her and her family. She is a sweetheart and deserves to be free from her sadness and pain

Comeuppance

I cannot wait for the good Dr to get what he deserves. And hopefully they cant get the eggs fertilized. As others have said elf anatomy is very different from human so is it even possible for human sperm to interact with an elf egg? But the worry is that the girls bodies are a combination of both egg and sperm. Elf women are meant to be able to get pregnant from each other. However we can only hope the two eggs taken werent fertilized and cannot be. I would be so scared for those two poor baby elves in the hands of the Dr and the military. A new elf nation under Tia would go to any lengths to recover Vee's and Tias children. Especially if they are considered part of the new royal family

General Pearson

Typical amoral thinking. He wasn't concerned about kidnapping, assault, rape and about 100 other illegal acts he ordered. He's worried about getting blamed for a botched mission and retiring before any blame could catch up with him.

Somehow I think

Dr. Sinclair's life just got more complicated,

Publicity

It looks like telling everything to the whole world worked. Our heroines are free, which is what really matters. That they still have the headset is also a good thing, though I suspect that it isn't as critical as they think. Still, losing the headset would mean losing Tia's new family.

If the elf girls need to be bonded to have kids, I really doubt if those eggs can be fertilized by anything other than something that Tia produces -- not even something from another elf. I sincerely hope that that's the case.

(It does make me wonder about the male elves, though. Maybe they are sterile in that world. After all, we already know that female elves can have male babies.)

But wow. The general did exactly what we all wanted. Almost. He released the girls unharmed, anyhow. Taking Vee's eggs was pretty disgusting, but nothing compared to what could have happened, and what would have happened if it weren't for the big publicity push.

Now, the cops and, I would assume, the FBI and some other organizations have the traitor nurse, and know about the doctor. I kinda expect him to disappear without a trace, though.

I wonder if the truth spell will work in the real world. I also wonder if they can find a way to use it without bumping into the fifth amendment. Keeping mum about its existence would be a start.

The Fifth Amendment

My5InchFMHeels's picture

Don't think they need to worry about the fifth amendment, as they aren't govt officials in any capacity. Not even citizens in the same country (Tia & Vee) if they were to do a truth spell on Sam, it would be as citizens.

A 5

I was thinking more about sneakily doing it in front of the police so it can be used in court.

Shit going to hit fan

I almost feel sorry for the doctor and the general... almost; NOT! Hope she comes up with some truly creative ways to make them suffer!
