Catching the rebel leader

[thehangingtree]

The next day after Messaline was captured, Kathy Summer washed off on the banks of the Meramec River.



She wrang the water out of her hair and stood up and looked around. Across the river she spotted Joan Tree aiming her bow at Kathy.



Kathy was able to dodge the first arrow and she turned to run. After Kathy took a few steps, Joan Tree’s second arrow pierced her back. Kathy looks down at her chest, startled to see the head of the arrow protruding just below her nipples.



She took a few more steps before her legs collapsed beneath her. She looks over her shoulder and sees Joan Tree approaching her. With a weak voice she says “You have got me. Go ahead and kill me. I can’t stop you!”



Joan laughs and says “Honey, you are worth five hundred dollars to me alive but you ain’t worth shit to me dead.”

Joan knocked Kathy on her side and pulled the arrow out of Kathy’s chest. She swabs the wound with a salve and says “You and Messaline are worth a thousand bucks if I bring you back to Tree’s place. That salve will stop the bleeding and your legs will work in an hour or so.”

In just over an hour Joan tied Kathy’s hands behind her back and guided Kathy back to Tree’s estate.



“You’ll look good when you are hanging next to Messaline” Joan says casually. “You’re really worth the reward!”

Now she gives me a compliment

 

[thehangingtree]

Messaline and Kathy have both been captured and delivered to the Tree Estate. Both are under the belief that once the rebel leader Barb is caught the three of them will be hanged. In the scrappy cell that is now their home, Messa and Kathy ponder how much longer they will stay alive before they are hanged.



Their worries are not eased by Joan Tree’s interrogations. Kathy is subjected to numerous sessions of giving head to two of Tree’s employees, Bull and Gunner.



Much to Kathy’s resolve she refused to swallow their cum.



At the same time, Messa is treated to whippings by Joan Tree.



Joan is very skilled at whipping prisoners and Messa suffers Joan’s lashes as best she can.



Messa thinks she gave no critical information to Joan during the whippings.



Little did Kathy or Messa know but Joan was after their secret passwords needed to communicate with Barbara Moore. Both of them had surrendered their passwords during their abusive treatment. That night Joan Tree sat before her computer and using the passwords she had acquired sent an e-mail to Barb Moore!



‘help us, captured by tree, they are going to hang us in days, go to gas station at leesburg exit tomorrow at noon, guide will show you where we are’

Satisfied with the message, Joan Tree sends to e-mail. She only hopes Barbara gets it and falls into her trap!

As ‘luck’ would have it at Barb’s secret hide-out at the No-Tel Motel Barb receives the e-mail.



Against her better judgment, she decides to meet the guide. It is her only chance to rescue her friends! As things turn out the ‘guide’ is none other than Joan Tree, who takes Barbara prisoner! Joan binds Barbara’s hand and begins to lead her back to the Tree Estate.



Joan disparages Barb saying “I caught all three of you bitches. That dumb brother of mine owes me $1500 dollars! I think he’s overpaying for you twits!”

Gunner meets the pair of ladies and puts a collar with a chain led around her neck. Barb would spend the rest of the day being led back to the Tree Estate as Joan’s prisoner.



She wonders what fate awaits her, Kathy, and Messa.

That night Joan Tree sat before her computer and using the passwords she had acquired sent an e-mail to Barb Moore!

Very bitchy sneaky of her!

As ‘luck’ would have it at Barb’s secret hide-out at the No-Tel Motel Barb receives the e-mail.

Yep, the good old No-Tel Motel. Misery’s finest hostelry.

Against her better judgment, she decides to meet the guide.

Everything I do in a Tree yarn is against my better judgement

Joan disparages Barb saying “I caught all three of you bitches. That dumb brother of mine owes me $1500 dollars! I think he’s overpaying for you twits!”

I have to agree with Joan in her judgement of her brother’s mental acuity,

She wonders what fate awaits her, Kathy, and Messa.

How bad could it be?

 

[thehangingtree]

Barbara spent the night at the Tree Estate with Messa and Kathy. The women told her that Tree intended to hang the three of them. Barbara protested saying he couldn’t hang them as it would take a court order for them to be hanged.

The next day at lunch Tree has Barbara out on his deck, serving her wine while he consumed cigarettes and his secret brew. Barbara huffily said to him “You can’t hang us. I’ll tie that up in court long enough you’ll be dead before they even think about stretching my neck!”



Tree lit a cigarette.



With a casual coldness in his voice he says “I’m the biggest taxpayer in this county and that’s only counting what I do report. If I say you three need to be hanged, it’s just a question of when you get hanged and how big the crowd watching will be.”



Barb, sitting opposite of Tree but stark naked (it prevents escapes) laughs “I’ll bring this all the way to the Supreme Court. You’ll never live to see us hanged!”



“Let’s get this straight. I never said I was going to hang you and your gang. There is a loophole in the law that let’s me ‘eliminate’ poachers of my ingredients women. You, Kathy, and Messa certainly fit that description. So this Friday, I’m crucifying the three of you. That should stop you thieving ways!”

Barb turns very serious. She looks at Tree and says “You can’t do that! It has to be against the law.”



Tree says “Actually, it is perfectly legal. It dates back to the pandemic of 2020. This Friday the three of you will be hanging naked nailed to a trio of crosses.”

The next day at lunch Tree has Barbara out on his deck, serving her wine while he consumed cigarettes and his secret brew.

Big secret. What a joke. Pssst everyone. It’s Seagrams!

arbara huffily said to him “You can’t hang us. I’ll tie that up in court long enough you’ll be dead before they even think about stretching my neck!”

Damn right I will (and stop posting that view!)

Tree lit a cigarette.

Pathetic attempt to look cool and nonchalant

With a casual coldness in his voice he says “I’m the biggest taxpayer in this county and that’s only counting what I do report.

Hello Internal Revenue ... did ya hear that?

If I say you three need to be hanged, it’s just a question of when you get hanged and how big the crowd watching will be.”

So that’s his angle ... gate receipts!

Barb, sitting opposite of Tree but stark naked (it prevents escapes) laughs “I’ll bring this all the way to the Supreme Court. You’ll never live to see us hanged!”

Putting up a brave front, but forgetting to keep my knees together (was it the wine or the Madame Wu?)

Barb turns very serious. She looks at Tree and says “You can’t do that! It has to be against the law.”

That’s one of my best looks. Well practiced for effect.

This Friday the three of you will be hanging naked nailed to a trio of crosses.”

Oh Shit. I think he means it

You get hanged, even for not bringing white wine to the fish!

 

[thehangingtree]

Thursday evening, Tree takes a double nightcap of his brew and gets to bed early for him. Tomorrow Barbara’s gang will be crucified.

6:30 Friday morning, Tree has a morning drink breakfast and shows up at the cell that holds Barb, Kathy, and Messa. With a cheery tone in his voice he greets the women saying “Crucifixion day, ladies. I hope you slept well because that’s the most comfortable you’ll have it. Any questions?”

Barb hisses back “You can’t do this to us. It’s inhumane!”

“So was releasing my women stock! Hangin’ is too kind for you. Let’s see how you are doing after you’re crucified a few hours” Tree snarls back.

Messa asks “Are you at least going to use premium French crosses?”

“You’re kidding. You’ll be crucified on good old Misery pine wood and will look good hanging from it!”



The chat is over. The three women have the crossbar of their crosses mounted on their shoulders and begin their last match to there crucifixion.

Barbara and Kathy lead the way. The crossbeams are heavy and they can barely carry them.



Kathy says “I can’t make it any farther. I need to rest!”

Barbara yells back “Keep moving! Don’t show them they have beaten us!”



Messaline follows the pair. Naked except for the ropes that bind her wrists to the crossbeam she thinks ‘I know I will look spectacular hanging from Tree’s cross but this inferior wood is beneath my dignity!’



As the women get nearer to the crucifixion site, the crowd gets thicker and more hostile to the women. Even the women there to watch the women being nailed to their crosses have no hesitation to curse at and spit on the women.



Barbara pleads to the other women “We are better than them! Ignore the bitches!”



The final climb up the hill at least separates them from the abusive crowd.



Barbara is not comforted as each step brings her closer to being crucified!

 

[thehangingtree]

At ‘Golgotha’ for the crucifixion of the Moore Gang…

On a hill on the Tree Estate, Barb, Kathy, and Messa have arrived for their punishment. They have been condemned to be crucified for raiding Tree’s cache of women that would be boiled alive to make his brew. All three women feel their cause is right and just, but an obscure loophole allows for Tree to have them crucified.

On the hill there is barely order. Any form of state authority is there solely to see the women nailed to the crosses and raised to hang from them naked for the spectators to watch them suffer as they hang from their crosses. The women know their crucifixions will result in a slow, painful execution, but have no real idea how slow and painful their executions will be.

Messaline is taken first. She is wrestled to the cross that has just been fabricated from the crossbar she carried to the hill and the tall stipe that waited for her arrival.



The guards roughly slam her onto the waiting cross. Methodically and almost well-rehearsed, they proceed to nail her wrists to the crossbar.



She howls in agony as the ½ inch square shanked spikes rip through her wrists and secure her arms to the cross. The devastating pain is worse as a single spike is driven through her feet that have been placed one on top of the other over the stipe.

Messa lies spread secured to her cross by the three spikes driven through her wrists and feet.



The men leave her nailed to the cross as they head for Kathy.

They grab Kathy and force her to her cross.



Having seen the horrors of Messa being nailed to her cross, Kathy fights the guards but they easily overpower her. It is a repeat of Messa’s nailing as Kathy is herd to her cross and the spikes are driven through her limbs.



In mere minutes the guards have secured her to her cross. Kathy glances at the spikes driven through her wrists and wonders how could the pain become any worse.



The guards leave Kathy lying on her cross and head towards Barbara. Barb, having seen the torment of Messa and Kathy being nailed to their crosses puts up the best fight she can, but it is only a few minutes before she feels the pain of the square-shanked spike tearing through her left wrist.



Her wrists secured to her cross, Tree steps up to drive the last spike through her feet. As bad as having her wrists spiked to the cross, the third spike tearing though her feet and shattering her bones exceeded the pain of the spikes passing through her wrists.



Her body bucked as much as it could but she could not avoid the spike being driven through her feet.



Messa, Kathy, and Barb are nailed to their crosses. It is only a short wait until they learn the cruel horror of their crosses being raised and having their bodies hang from their crosses!

 

[Barbaria1]

Barbara yells back “Keep moving! Don’t show them they have beaten us!”

Barbara pleads to the other women “We are better than them! Ignore the bitches!”

Barbara is not comforted as each step brings her closer to being crucified!

I never stop complaining fighting!

 

[Barbaria1]

Barb, having seen the torment of Messa and Kathy being nailed to their crosses puts up the best fight she can, but it is only a few minutes before she feels the pain of the square-shanked spike tearing through her left wrist.

Like I said above. I never ever give in.

 

[thehangingtree]

While the Moore Gang’s crucifixions are meant to cruelly torture the women to death, there is money to be made for Tree. The crowd has paid well to see the trio raised and hanged crucified from their crosses. One cannot forget the large sum of cash the Crux Chronicle has paid to cover the women’s crucifixions.

The guards take only a short break before they begin to hoist the women nailed to their crosses. Messaline is first. She screams begging them to stop but the men struggle to lift her and her cross.



Two large guards lift Messaline. Is she only resigned that she will be crucified or has panic set in?



Quickly her cross is raised and for a moment she hangs from the wood silently as the cross dropping down into its hole has taken her breath away.



The crew moves over to Kathy. With collective grunts they hoist her cross up to shoulder height.



Ropes are added to the crossbeam and the lifting continues.



With a cheer from the crowd, Kathy’s cross is raised and she hangs breathlessly from her cross.



The men move to Barb’s cross. Human nature overcomes her bravery and she begs for them to stop as they lift her.



But without any obvious hesitation, Barbara is raised and the cross drops firmly in its mounting hole. Barbara is crucified along with Kathy and Messa.



The three women hang displayed naked, crucified high before the crowd.

 

[thehangingtree]

The crucifixions of Barb, Kathy, and Messa was a brutal event for the three women yet an exciting show for the crucifixion crew and the spectators that paid good money to see them crucified. Messa and Kathy were raised first then Barbara was hoisted into the air to hang from her cross between them.



Once Barbara was raised, Gunner and others from the crux team mocked her, asking her if her fine body stretched naked on her cross would attract some brave and horny men to rescue her from the suffering she would experience as she hung dying on the cross.



Their sadistic laughter answered their own question!

The crowd watching had no sympathy for the crucified women. They gathered below the women hanging obscenely stretched before them. Barbara cried out “They are killing me! Don’t you care?”



Their mocking jeers were their response to her question. Not only did they know Barbara was indeed being killed slowly on the cross, they had paid good money to watch her torture.

The crowd lustfully jeered the naked women crucified before them. Kathy cried out “I’m dying up here. How can you let this happen?”



The crowd’s response showed no sympathy for her plight.

Messa looked down from her cross and asked “Do I at least look good?”



One of the men yells back “You couldn’t look better!”

By noon the day had grown warmer and Barb, Kathy, and Messa were already tiring from hanging from their crosses. The crowd thinned, leaving to get some lunch and some adult beverages. The three women were left nailed to their crosses.



From their captivity being nailed to their crosses, the women realized that their last hours alive would be filled with the torment of being crucified to death.

 

[Barbaria1]

Messa and Kathy were raised first then Barbara was hoisted into the air to hang from her cross between them.

Careful now! No sudden jolts please

Barbara cried out “They are killing me! Don’t you care?”



Their mocking jeers were their response to her question.

It’s not nice to mock your betters!

From their captivity being nailed to their crosses, the women realized that their last hours alive would be filled with the torment of being crucified to death.

And Tree will make sure to make it so ...

 

[thehangingtree]

The crucifixion of the Moore Gang was a commercial success if not a critical one if judged by the women hanging nailed to their crosses. For the first few hours of their crucifixions, the crowd was not shy about hollering insults at the women and, before the tortures of being crucified took its toll, the three weren’t hesitant to shout their replies back.



But as the crowd dissipated in the midday heat, the toll of being stretch out and hanging from the spikes that pierced their limbs began to take a toll on the condemned women. Kathy began an agonizing dance on her cross. Held to the wood by three spikes and her feet bones shattered by the one driven through her feet, Kathy searches for some form of comfort.



She finds none and the stretching of her chest only compounds the difficulty to breathe.

At Messaline’s cross, she has an unexpected visitor from her lover Judith. Judith seems only amazed by Messa’s suffering. She comments “I have seen you naked many times before but never so well displayed for all these strangers’ eyes. You look incredibly sexy nailed to the cross.



Messa is unimpressed by Judith’s praise and groans “I’m dying up here. Can’t you bribe someone to get me off this thing?”

“But you have been condemned to die here. I wouldn’t want to deny the crowd their show” Judith replies.

Midafternoon a trio come by Kathy’s cross. By then Kathy rests exhausted hanging from her wrists. The three people talk about Kathy as if she is nothing more than a sculpture hanging from the cross she is nailed to.

The younger woman says “She looks just like a criminal hanging there. I even think she’s pissed herself!”



“Cara, you’d have pissed if you were nailed to that cross” Margaret Summer admonishes her daughter.

“But, mom…” Cara starts to reply but her father stops her.

“I think we’ve seen enough of Kathy’s execution. I have reservations at the Tree Cabana for drinks and dinner” Cara’s father says. “Besides, Kathy isn’t dead yet. It would be rude to talk about her here.”

Kathy moans “Damn right, I’m not dead” but her sister, mother, and father are too busy climbing in a courtesy cart for a ride back to the estate to hear her.

Later in the afternoon, Tree comes by to see the women he had crucified. He stops at Messa’s cross. Messa weakly asks “Are you happy? Do I look alright?”



“You look almost innocent up there” he says as he take’s a drag from his cigarette. He shuffles over to Barbara’s cross. He looks up and asks “Do you still think stealing ingredients is still worth it?”

Barb works to take a deep breath and yells “They aren’t ‘ingredients’, you son of a bitch! You are killing women to make your shit!”



“Yeah, goody two-shoes, and now I’m killing rustlers of my stock!” he yells back. He tosses his cigarette at the foot of Barb’s stipe and starts to walk away.

Barb yells out “get that nasty thing away from me. It could kill me!”

“I’ve already taken care of that” Tree calls back as he shuffles away.

Later in the afternoon Kathy turns to Barb and asks “What do we do now?”



“We wait to die” Barb responds. Messa, Barb, and Kathy hang silently from their crosses.



They contemplate the wisdom of Barb’s words but are too tired to talk about them.

 

[Barbaria1]

the three weren’t hesitant to shout their replies back.

Defiant to the very end. We are the Moore Gang. Enough said!

Later in the afternoon Kathy turns to Barb and asks “What do we do now?”

Questions, questions. Just try to hang quietly while I think, okay?

Barb works to take a deep breath and yells “They aren’t ‘ingredients’, you son of a bitch! You are killing women to make your shit!”

Them’s fighting words. Take that!

“We wait to die” Barb responds. Messa, Barb, and Kathy hang silently from their crosses.



They contemplate the wisdom of Barb’s words but are too tired to talk about them.

Wisdom. That’s what makes a good rebel leader. And it’s something I have in abundance. So, curse you Tree. This isn’t over yet! Or is it?

 

[thehangingtree]

The day drags into evening. Kathy looks around from her cross. She wonders if she will get lucky and not survive the night.



Opposite of Barbara, Messa prays that her suffering will end and death pays her a visit overnight.



Meanwhile, Barb uses what little strength she has left to adjust her torn body on her cross.



‘Fuck it’ she thinks. ‘If these fuckers want me to die on this cross, they’ll have to wait until I am ready to die!’

At the same moment Joan Tree is working on the Tree Estate books. Bull is behind her and asks “Aren’t you going up the hill and see those women dying on their crosses”

“No, I’ll watch it on Crux Chronicles after the bitches kick the bucket. Besides, Tree says it stinks like hell up there” Joan says.



A bit later, Joan wraps up doing the books. She grabs a cup of Tree’s brew and lounges on the bed. She says “You know, thinking of those women dying on the crosses makes me horny as hell. Bull, you wanna fuck?”



We interrupt this session for a brief…

The sun sets on the hill. The women don’t seem to notice the light dancing through the clouds.



As night falls, Barb looks up at the dark sky and thinks ‘We did our best. I am ready. Take me when your ready.’

 

[Barbaria1]

The sun sets on the hill. The women don’t seem to notice the light dancing through the clouds.

That’s because some damn fool raised our crosses so that we are facing the wrong way!

 

[thehangingtree]

Saturday morning… Joan Tree confronts Tree.

“I went up to the hill this morning. I was expecting Messa,…



“Kathy,…”



“…and Barbara…



“to be in various stages of dying or already dead on their crosses” Joan says. “Instead, I found three empty crosses. What happened, Tree? Did you let them go?”



Tree stared at his sister, her sex still puffy from her all-night frolic with Bull.



Tree mutters something about he was still sleeping Saturday morning.



In truth, you can crucify rustlers in Missouri but you still have to bury their bodies. That would have eaten a third of my profits from crucifying them. I got offers from the University of the Virgin Martyrs to release Barb, a solid ‘bribe’ from the Nova Scotia government to let them have Kathy, and a sizable donation from the women of Anjou province for Messa’s freedom.

I only crucified them to stop their freeing ingredients women I had in stock. Hopefully the Moore Gang learned their lesson…

Tree

The end…

 

[Madiosi]

That’s because some damn fool raised our crosses so that we are facing the wrong way!

It was not a fool! You will be happy tomorrow morning, when the sun warmed your could body(tight little).
It seems you complaining rebel, deserve not the care of a kindly carnifex.
In a few days will be silence.
