The next morning, the smell of frying bacon and freshly brewed coffee filled Adelyn's kitchen.

Adelyn stood over the stove, humming and moving bacon onto a plate when she heard footsteps coming into the kitchen. Caitlyn, sitting at the kitchen table, turned to see Maisie walk in with a smile on his face.

"Good morning Caitlyn, Aunt Addy."

"Mornin', hon," Adelyn smiled. "Go on and get you some breakfast. We got a busy day ahead of us."

Maisie sat opposite Caitlyn and looked at the spread of waffles, eggs, sausage, fried potatoes, bacon, and fresh fruit and began fixing something for herself.

"Cait, where are your brothers?"

"In the basement, ma," Caitlyn said before downing a mouthful of waffles.

"All right. I'll go get 'em. Don't ya'll eat everything before they get any," she commanded before leaving.

Caitlyn watched her mother leave and then turned to Maisie. "What the hell are you glowin' about, Piggy?"

Maisie cut into her waffles. "I had some fun at the Velvet Palace last night," she smiled. "Both Crawford brothers and Mrs. Kessler at the same time."

"So ya'll went and had fun without me?" Caitlyn groaned. "That's bullshit." She then grabbed a bunch of food and piled it onto her plate before looking back. "I'ma eat as much as I can and tell mama you ate it all."

"Come on, Cait!" Maisie despaired, knowing there was nothing she could do to stop her cousin.

***

Adelyn descended into her home's basement where she found her sons standing in front of two small beds. Azure Angel was naked and bound to the bed in front of Carson and Got Chic was in the same situation in front of Cody. Both heroines had power suppression collars around their necks.

Adelyn grinned and stood between her sons, putting a long arm around each one's shoulders. "Down here baskin' in glory, boys?"

"They're all ours, mama," Cody says to her.

Adelyn sighed and looked at the two heroines, their naked, young bodies covered in dried cum, their legs spread open and vulnerable. "That's what I'd always look like after your daddy went to town on me," Adelyn laughed.

"Ma!" Carson groaned.

"Hush up, boy! Why do you think I have three kids, eh?" she teased him with a jab to his ribs.

"There's just certain things a kid shouldn't know about their folks."

Adelyn simply laughed at the older of her two sons. "Luke give you them collars?"

"Yes ma'am," Carson said. "He locked them on after we took 'em down at the Palace. Said he bought a bunch of 'em on the internet and planned on riding up to Delta to sell them. Cait locked down the other two this morning."

"Let us go, you jerks!" Azure Angel demanded.

"Oh, honey, you and your friends ain't going anywhere. I hope you weren't too attached to Delta, because Murky Marsh is your home now. She walked over between the two beds and sat on the edge of Angel's, putting a hand on the Asian teen's thigh and stroking it. "And you two girls are gonna need to rest for what's comin'." 

"Where are Flag Girl and Amazing Babe?" Got Chic asked.

"You'll be seein' 'em. I got plans for all of ya,," Adelyn smiled.

The captive heroines looked at each other with worried expressions.

"What do you mean?" Angel asked.

Adelyn leaned over the girl and ran her hand up her smooth tummy, cupping her right tit. "It's a surprise, sugar." 

Adelyn's sons had big grins on their faces while the expressions on the heroines' faces dropped.

Adelyn slapped Angel on the thigh and stood up. "I made a big breakfast this morning. Go get yourselves some." She then approached her sons. "You boys remember what I told you about where we need to meet this afternoon?"

"Yes ma'am," they both answered.

"Good," she nodded. She then looked the heroines up and down before turning back to her sons. "You two already had your fun with these girls at the Palace right?"

"Yeah, ma," Carson said. "We was kinda hopin' to go again before this afternoon..." he said, with Cody nodding.

Adelyn eyed the captive heroines. "I shouldn't allow it, but, fuck it. They followed that dumb little bitch on her crusade, they gotta fall on their swords, too. All them bimbos need to learn to stay the fuck outta my town."

"Oh I think that message is goin' through loud and clear, ma," Cody said.

Adelyn smiled and hugged both sons at once, giving each one a kiss on the forehead. "Me and Maisie got some stuff to take care of around town. Remember the time and place." 

"Will do, ma," Cody nodded.

Adelyn hugged them again and started for the stairs. "Love you boys."

"Love you too, ma," they both said, before turning to their captives with wide smiles on their faces.

***

When Adelyn got back to the kitchen, Caitlyn and Maisie both turned to her. There were mostly empty serving dishes between the two girls and Maisie looked away.

"What the hell did I tell ya'll?"

"I tried to stop her, ma, but I didn't want lose my hand gettin' between Piggy and food," Caitlyn said.

Adelyn narrowed her eyes and looked at Maisie, who wouldn't look at her. She then turned her gaze on Caitlyn, leaned in, and grabbed the fabric of the girl's t-shirt.

"What's this on your shirt, Cait?"

Caitlyn looked down to see a amber colored stain. "...syrup?"

"Uh huh...Maisie, what do you always put on your waffles?"

Maisie looked up and smiled when she realized where this was going. "Jam, aunt Addy."

"And why's that?"

"Syrup makes me nauseous."

Adelyn glanced at the new, unopened jar of strawberry jam that sat among the condiments and then looked at Caitlyn and saw the instant regret in her eyes.

"Mama..." was all Caitlyn managed to get out before Adelyn smacked her daughter in the head hard enough that Maisie winced and recoiled.

"Aggghh..." Caitlyn groaned, her eyes welling up as she held the spot where her mother smacked her. "Shit."

"We gotta go, Maisie. We'll stop at Burger Planet so you can get something. I'll be out in the truck when you're ready."

"Okay, Aunt Addy."

"Make something for your brothers when they come up here. Whatever they want," Adelyn pointed at Caitlyn. "When I get back, we're running laps around the property until it gets dark."

"All right, ma," Caitlyn rubbed the side of her head.

Adelyn shook her head, muttered something and walked out.

Caitlyn turned to Maisie as she stood up after grabbing an apple from the table. "Don't give me that fuckin' look, Piggy," Caitlyn hissed.

Maisie bit into the apple and held it between her teeth so she could flip her cousin off with both middle fingers as she left the kitchen with a big grin on her face.

"...So I gave him one of my Bliss tabs and next thing I know, we're making out in the bathroom," Maisie said as Adelyn brought her truck to a stop. She took a big bite of her burger.

Adelyn looked at her niece with a smirk on her face. "And he was a bartender at this same club?"

Maisie grinned and nodded. "I may not be skinny like you and Cait, but that never stopped me, Aunt Addy."

Adelyn laughed and rubbed her niece on the shoulder. "Excuse me, little girl. I'll just stay out of your way then," she said. She stole some fries from Maisie's bag and then opened her door.

Maisie looked out the window and saw Adelyn had stopped in front of a giant warehouse. There was a beat up, dark blue pickup truck nearby with a man Maisie recognized standing in front of it.

"What is this place? And why's Handsome Barry here?"

"Get out and you'll see," Adelyn winked before closing the door. Maisie scrambled out of the truck while grabbing her food from Burger Planet and walked around to stand next to her aunt, who waved Barry over.

"How ya doin', Barry? Sorry we're a bit behind. Had to stop to grab a bite."

"It's all right, Ms. Adelyn," the scar-faced man said, rubbing his hands on his grimy overalls. "I'm doin' okay. Damn gator got one of my dogs this morning."

"Told ya you gotta shoot them fuckers, Barry. Show 'em you're the boss. You got that nice 12 gauge that belonged to your daddy. Use it," she said, jabbing him lightly in the shoulder. 

"Yes ma'am."

"You remember Maisie, don't you?"

"I sure do, ma'am. How ya'll doin'?" Barry smiled, his mouth missing several teeth.

Maisie waved and held her bag. "Want some fries?"

"Oh I'm all right. Only farm-raised for me," Barry declined.

Adelyn put her hand on Maisie's shoulder. "Maisie's hanging around town for a while and she's gonna start cooking up some Bliss for us to sell around here and eventually up there in Delta. We're gonna be putting them in the shipments along with the other stuff you and your boys run for us."

"Not a problem, Ms. Adelyn," Barry said.

"Good boy. Now," Adelyn clapped her hands together. "Ain't it your birthday, Barry?"

"Why yes ma'am, it is," he smiled.

"Come with me," Adelyn beckoned him to follow her to the back of her truck. She lowered the gate on the covered bed to show two busty, blonde teens tied up and gagged, and Adelyn grabbed Amazing Babe by her ankle and pulled her out, sitting her upright on the lowered gate.

"You remember this pretty little thing from the bar, right, Barry?"

"Yes ma'am, I do," he grinned.

"Well, she's yours. Happy birthday! I'd have made ya a cake, but Ms. June would tan my hide if I gave her boy sweets, so this'll have to do." She then turned to the bound, helpless heroine. "Blondie, this is Handsome Barry. His family and the Tylers been close for generations. You're gonna be staying with him."

Amazing Babe looked the burly, scar-faced man up and down as he licked his lips. His eyes took in every naked, supple curve of her body. "Gulp..." Amazing Babe muttered as Barry leaned down, picked her up, and flung her over his shoulder to carry her back to his truck.

"Thank ya kindly, Ms. Adelyn," Barry said while walking off.

"You kids stay outta trouble!" Adelyn called after the two. Barry threw the heroine in the bed of his truck then climbed in the cab and drove away.

"Gotta take care of your people, Maisie. No one gets by in this world without a bit of help. Come on."

Adelyn led Maisie to the warehouse and unlocked the door. The space inside was cavernous, easily almost the size of a football field in length and three stories in height.

Adelyn then took the key and tossed it to Maisie, who was so in awe at the space that she didn't see the key coming and got hit in the forehead.

"Ah!"

"Oh! I'm sorry, sugar. I shoulda said 'heads up'!"

"It's all right, Aunt Addy," Maisie winced and picked the keys up. "Why are you giving me these?"

"This is yours," Adelyn motioned. "To set up your operation."

Maisie's jaw dropped. "Aunt Addy, I can't accept this. This is too much."

"Stop it. It's not my only one. You can have it. I got a crew to help you get started coming by in an hour. You'll be able to get back to what you do best in no time, hon."

Maisie wrapped her arms around Adelyn's waist and hugged her tight.

Adelyn chuckled and kissed Maisie on the forehead. "Now go on and take a walkthrough. Visualize where you wanna put everything. Luke'll be here soon with some guys so you can run down what you need to get up and running."

"Oh, you're leaving?" Maisie asked her. "You're gonna go do the...thing...?"

"Gotta be done, sugar. It's important to send a message." 

***

Flag Girl fell to her knees and closed her eyes against the bright light that appeared when the hood was removed. Her hands were tied behind her back and in every direction was an endless expanse of swampland under a gray sky.

Adelyn walked up next to the teen heroine and put her hands in her jean pockets and let out a sigh. "I fuckin' hate swamps..."

Flag Girl looked back to see Adelyn's truck idling nearby. There was no road to speak of, but trees, grass, and murky water everywhere she looked.

"Can't build nothin' out here, the gators get a lot of the good animals before you can shoot 'em, and it's real easy to get turned around. Not to mention the big-ass mosquitoes." Adelyn continued.

Flag Girl looked around in the tall grass that made up their surroundings and got the distinct feeling they were being watched.

"Why are we here?" the teen asked Adelyn.

"Because you're an annoyin' little shit and this is the best way I can think of dealin' with you." Adelyn told her.

Flag Girl swallowed a lump in her throat. "If you kill me..."

"I ain't gonna kill you, girl. Your boss brought out the worst in me, and I think you do by extension, but I ain't gonna murder you, no matter how much I might want to."

"The others from Delta City will come looking for me."

"Let the bitches. Murky Marsh ain't their town. It'll eat them alive, too."

Just then, the two turned at the sound of an approaching car. Another truck pulled up and stopped next to Adelyn's, and Cody and Carson climbed out of the cab. They went around back and re-emerged moments later with Azure Angel and Got Chic, their wrists bound behind them and their heads covered. The boys shoved their captives along and joined their mother, making the teen heroines kneel before they took the hoods off of them.

"Where are we?" Azure Angel looked around. She then looked over at Flag Girl and up at Adelyn, and the expression on her face dropped.

"I recognize that look of defeat, sweetie. What can I say? You girls lost this one."

"Where's Amazing Babe?" Got Chic asked.

"Not in a pickle like you girls are," Adelyn told her. "I don't imagine you girls will be seeing each other again, so try not to worry about it."

"Why are you doing this?" Angel cried out.

"Ask this one," Adelyn said, kicking Flag Girl over into the dirt. "Bitch took a shot at the queen and she missed. That comes with a heavy price."

Flag Girl sat back up and lowered her head in silent defeat, only looking up when she heard rustling. Everyone else soon looked up too, and Adelyn smirked.

"You can feel 'em watching us, too. On your left."

Flag Girl, Got Chic, and Azure Angel looked left and saw a head duck into the grass.

"Swampfolk," Adelyn told them. "They been a problem around here the past 50-some years. No one knows where the hell they come from. Luke got on one of them conspiracy websites and said some government office called Sentinel made 'em. Some of the people in town think they're aliens or some kinda demons."

The heroines looked at each other with worried expressions.

"Up until about two years ago, I was fighting these things off on the regular when they would shamble into town at night to try and kidnap the women. That was when this big fucker that I think was some kinda pack leader showed up. I strangled him with some vines and that took care of that."  

"How noble of you," Flag Girl growled.

"I told you, this is my fucking town." Adelyn said. "Anyway, after that they ain't been showin' up in town much. The folks over there in Gloomy Glade right down the road still see 'em, though. The biology people at the community college dissected the body of the one I killed and...them things ain't human. That's all we really know. I'd root the bastards out completely, but I dunno where their hideout is. This swamp is just under a hundred square miles and they know every inch of it. Best hunters in town can't sniff 'em out, either. I don't think they're gonna bother anyone for a while once they take my offering, though." Adelyn laughed and slapped the teen on the shoulder.

"You bitch..." Flag Girl growled, noticing more movement in the brush.

Adelyn laughed. "You know, it's funny. Those were the last words Fat Kenny said to me when he was kneelin' right where you are."

"What...?" Flag Girl's lip quivered.

"Oh yeah. I fed a bunch of his men to these plants I had, but that was too good for that bastard, so I brought him out here because I knew his boys would catch the Swampfolk sometimes and torture 'em for fun. I figured they wanted revenge. They tore that tubby piece of shit apart and I laaaaughed."

"You're sick!" Azure Angel screamed.

"Maybe, but after I dealt with Kenny the town knew peace for the first time in years. I had to run the things he did because otherwise someone else would've done it, and they might've been worse than Kenny. I didn't want it at first, but then I realized the power that came with it...power Americana denied me all those years ago."

"What are you talking about?" Flag Girl growled, jumping to her feet. "You're deranged, lady!" The blonde teen grunted when Adelyn punched her in the stomach hard enough to make her legs buckle and force her back to her knees.

"Don't raise your voice at me!" Adelyn spat. "My town, my rules. I gave you your chance to leave me alone. I tried to be nice. You threw it back in my face and look where it got you!"

The Swampfolk approached the group, somewhat hesitantly. Adelyn looked at them and smirked.

"You'll probably produce more Swampfolk for 'em. That's why they'd come in and snatch the women. It gets to be a problem, I'll deal with it then. I could use the excitement, to be honest, and Cait could use the training." Adelyn then turned to go back to her truck. "Perk up, ya'll. It's better than being eaten by gators. That was my first plan, but I put it to a vote. Maisie and the boys said it was too grim, only Cait said I should do it. Guess she's got a bit of my old mean streak in 'er. Ya'll owe them kids your lives."

"I told you we shouldn't have come here!" Azure Angel growled.

Flag Girl said nothing in response. She only coughed from having been punched by Adelyn

Got Chic just bowed her head and kept quiet.

Flag Girl turned to Adelyn "So...what? After this, you're going back to Delta to deal with Americana?"

"Oh, no, no, no baby," Adelyn laughed. "Ten years ago, maybe. If I was still a 20-year-old hothead, absolutely. I got too much to lose now. She wants to come here for a showdown, that'll be a different story, but I ain't settin' foot in Delta ever again unless I absolutely have to. Your boss can keep it. She shows up, she can join the rest of you."

Adelyn looked around as more Swampfolk began emerging from the brush. She counted two dozen. "Time to go, boys," she said before they all started back toward the trucks. 

Adelyn got back to her truck and stood on the ledge to climb in. The lurking Swampfolk continued appearing, and started surrounding the heroines. "You bitches ever find your way out of the swamp, come see me and we'll do this again!" She taunted before getting in her truck and closing her door. She then backed up and took off, into the wooded area and back toward the road after allowing her boys to go first. 

Flag Girl watched the truck drive away and got to her feet with her hands still bound behind her back. As the truck disappeared, she looked around in every direction to find gaunt figures, covered in foliage standing around her in a circle. They were completely silent and almost completely still. "Get up, girls," she said to the others.

The teen heroines stood and tried to find a way to escape, but there was nothing. No way through them, and no way out. Acting as one, the Swampfolk closed in on the trio.

"This is your fault!" Azure Angel shouted while throwing and missing a kick at one of the strange beings.

Out of desperation, Flag Girl leapt up and lashed out with her long leg, kicking one in the head and sending it reeling back.

The minute she landed on her feet, Flag Girl stumbled and the eerie attackers were on her until she disappeared under their collective bulk. She emerged moments later, kicking and thrashing as they held her legs in place and hoisted her body above their heads.

Got Chic ran toward her, only to get piled on by a group of the Swampfolk. When Azure Angel tried to fight them off, using only kicks, one of them grabbed her leg and struck the busty Asian teen with a vicious backhand that stunned her long enough to let the creature pick her up and sling her over its shoulder.

The captive teens' cries echoed through the swamp as the strange group of captors carried them all deep into the distant brush and vanished from sight.

Adelyn watched the entire scene play out in her rearview mirror, moving her truck slowly through the wooded area and back onto the road. When the Swampfolk disappeared with the teen heroines in their clutches, a smirk crossed Adelyn's face as she picked up speed.

"Don't ever in your life fuck with the queen, hon..."

THE END
