Subject: Slave 165 ch 37

Good news and sad news. Slave 165 is coming to an ending within the next
few chapters. I might write a few stories about people within the family as
they will all continue to live on in my imagination. I have started a new
story, chapter one has come back from my editor and will be added today, It
is simply titled TOM. I have never been to America, so I know nothing about
America apart from what I read. These stories are all made up.

Hugs


Slave 165 ch 37

Alex

I had heard when daddy arrived home, but as I had just started playing this
piece of music, I had to finish it. I have been practicing this piece for a
long time to get it perfect for a Christmas show we are planning, so I just
carried on playing. Out of the corner of my eye, I see daddy and the new
boys come in.  I hear my brothers and sister saying hello, and I would so
like to be there.

I cannot help it, I feel like I am being watched. Peeping again out of the
corner of my eye, I can see this very handsome guy standing at the doorway
and he is quietly watching me play. I can even see a smile playing on his
lips. I have never been so happy to finish a piece of music and turning
slowly; I smiled at him, and then invited him to come nearer. I told him
that I am Alex and he told me his name is Carlos and he is very much a
hottie. Carlos is asking me about the organ. This is my pride and I show
him how everything works and feel happy as he sits next to me on the bench.

Carlos

This cute guy is so nice, and he is so friendly. He has explained to me how
this organ works, which is a lot different than the little electric one we
had at home. My brother taught me a little and I cannot play very big
pieces of music, more like just some songs that I enjoyed hearing on the
radio. Alex has told me to try playing, but this is not like what I have
been playing. There are too many keyboards and things, but I play a Michael
Jackson piece that we used to enjoy. I watch as Alex plays with the stops,
as he calls them and hear the sound change. Then Alex started playing on
the other keyboards and suddenly the little piece of music sounded
great. Alex was filling in all the parts I did not know or could not
play. Every now and then our arms or legs would touch and it was like
little jolts of electricity and I found myself smiling more and more. When
we finished he turned to me and told me that he is Alex and after I told
him my name he asked me if I would like to sleep in his room. I was a
little shocked, but he explained that there is an empty bed in his room and
if I don't mind sharing he would be very happy.

I think this guy is very nice, I don't want him to know how I am feeling
because as soon as he finds out that I like guys he will hate me. I know
that there are a lot of gay boys here but if he is not gay I will lose a
friend and I would rather keep the friend.

Alex

This Carlos is so cute; I could sit next to him for the rest of my life and
be happy. He seemed so scared when I asked him about sharing my room and I
thought he was going to burst into tears. For a few moments I thought I had
scared him away and I don't even know if he is gay yet.

I think the best course of action will be to be his friend although I
wonder if he would feel okay about me also being gay, like most of my
brothers and if he is gay would he want to be my boyfriend? I know I am
nothing special although Daddy hugs us all and tells us all that he loves
us no matter what. I know Daddy will say take it slowly and get to know
each other, it is just that I am scared. If I wait too long and he sees all
my brothers and he is gay he might not want to be my boyfriend. I don't
know what to do.

I helped Carlos get his bags and showed him up to my room and I helped him
unpack. I looked at his clothes and although they were nice and clean, he
did not have any warm clothes. Most of what he had was meant for warmer
places. Even his jacket is thin.

I asked Carlos to sit down, so that we could talk in private. I started off
by telling him that he is safe here and I will always be there for him to
talk to. I thought about what I was needing to say and I stumbled a little,
but told him that he would be safe here and be my friend, but I hoped that
he would still want to be my friend knowing I am gay.  As I told him this I
saw tears running down his face and this started me crying too.

Carlos

What was I to do, he has just told me that he wants to be my friend, and he
now tells me that he is also gay. How do I tell him that I am too, if I
don't tell him I will lose him as a friend.  Sobbing I told him not to cry
because I am gay too. I have had sex with a girl, but I think of boys while
having sex because if I just think of girls I go soft. Now we ended up
clinging to each other.

Ronald

Everything seems to be okay and the new boys seem to be settling
in. Anthony has taken JJ into his room and I am sure they will talk. I will
just keep an eye on the two of them and with a little luck JJ will be able
to relax and be himself. Carlos is a lost cause. He has fallen in love with
Alex, and Alex is besotted with him. I could see from the way they looked
at each other. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in their room as they
sort out their feelings. I am sure that they will find their way.

The Channel 3 News today had more on the slaves from America. The stories
coming out were horrific, it seems that almost six hundred slaves have been
rescued in the Middle East and the news is full of it. The doctors and
police have seen so many people needing attention. The reports were saying
that some of the boys have been so misused that they thought these boys
would need lots of counseling and care.

There were reports of young guys who had been enslaved while on holiday by
a corrupt magistrate using `Shira Law'. This was so sickening and the
pictures showed young men with animal heads fixed onto them, wounds that
were still open and branding that in some cases had not even had chance to
heal. All I could think about is that my boys are all safe. Even the slaves
are safe and treated correctly. I still don't think slavery is a good idea,
hopefully with all these changes that this outcry has caused, the ideas on
slavery will change, and maybe there will be hope for all slaves.

Watching all the children eating dinner gave me a lot of pleasure. Graeme
was attentive and he kept checking on me, I could see he was not sure why I
am being so quiet. Thank goodness the family have not see the news cast and
I will make sure we all watch videos tonight. I don't want the children to
see those awful pictures on the news.

About eight the phone started ringing and Graeme went and answered the
call. A short while later he was back and asked me to take the call, he
suggested in my office or bedroom. I could see the worry lines on his
face. I whispered to him that he should not worry, there is nothing
wrong. Graeme gave a forced smile and said he would put the phone back on
the hook as soon as I picked up.

Melvin greeted me as soon as I answered and I know when it is Melvyn there
is something up, some child that needs care, so I cut to the chase. Melvyn
explained that he and the First Minister and the American President had
been in conference calls all morning. They had even been discussing things
with the Australian and South African governments. This was now starting to
intrigue me. Melvyn gave me a brief breakdown of what was being
suggested. Although I wanted to do things, I am already having problems
having enough accommodations. The builders had just started doing the
foundations for the extension and this Melvyn knew. He told me not to worry
about that, it would all be taken care of. I told Melvyn that I would need
to discuss the basics with my family. I am sure they would want to be
involved, but I will ask them if they are happy to do what is needed. I was
invited to a meeting in the First Minister's office, where we would have an
online meeting with the others involved. Melvyn then giggled and said maybe
it would be a good idea if I brought the person responsible for all of this
with me. I knew that was asking for trouble, but agreed.

I tried to set my mind at ease before going back into the family room and
as soon as I entered the family room, the video was paused, Luke came up to
me and asked me if everything was okay. I looked at him and said yes. His
eyes darted towards Graeme and I could see that Graeme's cheeks were wet
with tears. I went and hugged him and told him that everything is okay and
he does not need to worry. I am going to tell everyone what Melvyn wanted
to discuss.

Everyone sat around and waited.  Collecting my thoughts, I started off by
explaining what had happened in the Middle East and how so many young
slaves have been found. How some of the boys and young men had been
kidnapped. How many of them were destroyed and would take many years to put
back together. I did not know how many, but we have been asked if we would
like to help.

Everyone started talking at once, even Graeme's brothers. After a few
minutes, they realised that none of them were getting answers from me, as I
simply refused to talk over their voices. They all settled down and as one
told me that they would do everything and anything to help and by this time
I too had tears running down my face. I really could not tell them some of
the things that I had seen in the earlier news casts. With lots of chatter,
the video was resumed, but I don't think anyone was watching what was
playing. After the film, the younger children all headed up for bed. They
all came to me and Graeme and said their good nights and then went around
to the older children doing the same. Graeme took the opportunity to take
Trevor up to bed. He knew that Bossy boots will make sure he had tucked
Trevor into bed before he went to bed.

Giving Luke the news that he would have to go with me in the morning seemed
to surprise him. He was very happy to miss a day of school, but unhappy
when I told him he would have to make up the missed lessons and his home
work that would all be brought home for him. Luke asked why he needed to be
there, and I told him that it was him that started this, so in a sense he
is the guilty one. I burst out laughing at seeing his face when I told him
he was guilty. I had to explain that his talk to the American Houses had
sparked this change.

One of the boys went and got me a fresh coffee.  The older children could
see that there was more to the story but waited for me to tell them. When
Graeme came back into the room, he told me that all was quiet upstairs. It
seems that the younger children were exhausted, and they seemed to fall
asleep as soon as their heads touched their pillows.

I started by telling the boys about the news earlier during the day. I told
them how those slaves had been treated.  Some of them had animal heads sewn
onto their heads, their eyes sewn closed, as their hair grew it locked the
dead animals skull head onto their head, and they were used as beasts of
burden. It was sickening.

It seemed that a large Arab shop owner in England had been saying how all
his crops were organic; he flew them into London ever couple of days. Some
homeless from London had also gone out with the return flights, to work,
and never being seen again, until now. While those wealthy people had been
saying they only eat the best organic vegetables, what they did not know
was that they were being grown using slave labour. This shop owner has
disappeared, but we know he will turn up one day. No one can stay vanished
forever.

I told them that most of these young men have been castrated in a very
crude manor. They had stones sewn into to give the effect of testes, but in
many cases the stones were a lot bigger. All of them would have to undergo
operations to have them removed and proper artificial ones put in. There
are also a large number of very young guys who were sold by their parents
as slaves that are in this group.

Some of the parents have tried to claim they did not know what happened to
their child, but the stories coming back from the children showed their
parents did know. They had been sold because they were gay and their church
said that gay people should be put in camps and killed and by this time
there was not a dry eye in the room. I explained we might have to rough it
for a few weeks as we do not have enough rooms. I expect we would know
tomorrow just how many of these young people we would house.

We all settled down to watch some of our favourite shows on TV and this
seemed to lighten the mood. Graeme and his brothers disappeared during the
one advertisement break and came back with trays of cake and fresh hot
chocolate for everybody. Watching the way Graeme's brothers behaved told me
they had already settled in. They were no longer trying to cover themselves
all the time and they just went about doing what they had been told. They
sat down sometimes on a chair, and sometimes on the carpeted section of the
floor. A lot of the boys seemed to enjoy sitting on the floor. They would
play cards or talk amongst themselves, completely ignoring what was on the
TV. Sometimes the girls would join in or form their own games.

Graeme

When the phone rang, as normal I got up to answer the call and Melvyn
greeted me. He then explains that he had something very important to
discuss with my master and Melvyn never refers to him as `master', he
always asks to speak to Ronald. I politely explained that I would let
master know and advise him to take this call in his office.

I told master, then went back to the phone and said that master was on his
way. As soon as I heard master pick up, I put the phone down. I did not
want to hear what master was discussing. All I could think of is that it
has something to do with my brothers. Master had told me that my brothers
were here under this new program, and as I was at the court, I knew that it
was not supposed to be for a long time, only six months. Maybe the
government had changed its mind and they were now going to be enslaved for
five years. As I looked at my brothers, I could feel the tears running down
my face.

Luke came and sat next to me, he asked what was wrong, but I just said
nothing. He asked me who was on the phone and I told him that I cannot
say. Master will tell him if he wanted them to know.  Luke told me that I
must not cry and that he will make sure everything is okay and then he
hugged me tight. Luke told me that I make his daddy happy and because of
that I am loved and part of the family. His daddy would never allow me to
be hurt because he knows his daddy loves me. This sort of slowed down my
tears.  Yes I had noticed a big changed in the way master treated me. He
gives me as much pleasure as I give him. Some nights we can play for a
couple of hours before master will give me what I crave.

This made me feel a lot better and when master came back into the room; the
first thing was that the film was stopped and then Luke went to master. I
could see by the way Luke was standing he wanted the truth from master. As
soon as master told everybody that there is nothing wrong and that none of
them need to worry; the whole room relaxed and then master came to me and
settled me down and telling me that he loved me. He has a way of settling
me when I am stressed.

Master explained the phone call and I could tell that he knew more than
what he was telling us; as the younger children were also here, so master
would not say anything that would give them a sleepless night. Master
explained that many of these young people had been abused and had nowhere
to live and of course we all agreed that they could all live with us.

At the first bedtime, which was already later than normal, I herded the
children up to their rooms, then went and changed Trevor. Trevor is growing
so quickly; I think his weight has doubled, but maybe my arms are just
tired today. I checked on all the young children. I had to switch off a few
lights, but the gentle snoring told me they were already fast asleep.

Master told us about the real horrors those young slaves had endured, many
had been tricked and from what master was saying, most of the young men
refused to go home to their families. They had only been able to get those
that had not undergone any modifications to go home. All the others were in
a private hospital being cared for and my heart went out to them. We would
do what we could to rebuild them. I knew this was going to be a hard task,
and that was why master had involved all of us in the decision.

I cuddled up to master once we were in bed. I knew from the way he was
laying that he was not in need of sex. Master needed to feel loved and just
like me he also has his insecurities. I know that he needs me and fears
that I would leave if set free, but I would never leave, he has given me
reason to live. I have this large family, Trevor and my man.
