“I know this is hard for you, Alicia,” Mark said, trying his best to sound sympathetic. “However if you want us to punish the people that did this to you, then you must be strong. You need to tell us specific instances of abuse and dates that the abuse occurred. Then we can take the information to the district attorney and she can get warrants to go in front of a grand jury.”

He watched Alicia take a deep breath and mentally brace herself. “ I understand. I will try to be helpful. The first real beating was June fourth, 2004 I was walking out of the bathroom and saw my sister Mistress Katherine trying to untangle her hair. All I said was’ having a bad hair day.’ And she blows up on me. She grabbed my arm and twisted it behind hard. She kept wrenching it tighter and it hurt really badly. She was going to break my arm if I didn’t apologize. She was way too strong for me and she was very violent. I ended up apologizing and she let me go. I was rubbing my shoulder and she told me that the next time, I wouldn’t get off so easy. I started to say something when she kicked me really hard in my stomach. I doubled over in pain and that’s when my brother Ron came in asking what was going on. She blamed me for being a jerk. I was 12 and kind of sarcastic but that’s no reason for such a violent reaction. She was sadistic but I haven’t met any woman that wasn’t sadistic. That’s when my nightmare really started. My brother always took Mistress Katherine’s side over mine, regardless of right or wrong. “

Alicia visibly shivered, recalling horrible memories that she wanted to forget. “My brother told me that from then on, I had to do anything my sister Mistress Katherine told me. I tried to tell him Mistress Katherine wasn’t my boss and he wasn’t either. I was dumb and he was appointed as my legal guardian and he was my boss. And he was much stronger than me being twenty-two and a collage athlete. He chucked in a nasty way. I ran to my room after he intimated me and I was laying in my bed feeling sorry for myself when my Mistress Katherine came in and started viciously beating me. She told me to get up but I wasn’t in the mood to appease her after already suffering a sadistic beating. But she was bossy, and has just been given unlimited permission to do what ever she damn well please with me. I was told I had to take what ever she wanted to do. She yanked me up and ripped my shirt over my head. I asked what she thought she was doing and she told me, 'I guess you haven't learned that yet. But you will.' Then she threw me face down on the carpet and reached into her shopping bag. I got frightened and asked told her to get off of me, that I didn’t want to play like that. She told me we were not playing anymore and pulled out a strand of duct tape.”

“I was becoming very scared as she started taping my arms behind me. I was shouting because it had suddenly became very serious. It was no use, it was fun for her and my feelings went relevant. She spun me around with my arms taped behind me. I tried to get out and be strong, I commanded her to let me go,” Alicia laughed.

“I wasn’t in any position to issue orders and her response was to slap me very hard across the face. She told me not to tell her what to do. Her slap was so hard, my cheek hurt and my eyes watered up. She became very threatening pulling my face by my hair inches from her frightening face and it was clear that she was in complete control and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it. My life was in her merciless hands. She said she was going to take my clothes off and then beat me. And she did, she removed my shirt and my pants, then started kicking me in my ribs and stomach. “

“She made me beg her for a proper beating and eventually, I got on my knees submissively and did just that. She smirked in triumph and started to until by brother broke it up. But he left me taped up on the bed all night”

“The next day, I was introduced to a predator, my mistresses boyfriend. His name was Craig and he was a bully. That evening, they were letting him beat me up in the basement. It was clear I couldn’t do a thing about it. He was going to make me give him a blowjob because I was a girl. Because I couldn’t fight him, I must like more girlish activities. I became very scared and agreed to anything to avoid that. So I agreed to pose for pictures wearing her dresses and crap.

Alicia’s was breathing erratically. Mark could tell she starting to panic. Alicia e was shivering and sweating. Alicia was talking between his breaths. Alicia was going into a flashback and Mark said, “Alicia I have enough for now. I know where this is going. I think you need a break and we can talk later. “

She slowly came out of her dream like state and her panic subsided. Mark realized two things now. One was that Alicia suffered much worse than anyone realized. Alicia was abused much worse than he had guessed. The second was that this trial would last a lot longer because so much abuse would take a long time to recall. But, Alicia would have to do that. It would take a lot of work before Alicia was ready for that.

“Thank you Officer Luther.” That was more draining than he thought it would be. She was mentally exhausted but relieved. At least someone was actually listening to her. She might have gave more detailed than she needed to but, She wanted to tell someone all she had been thought. She hadn’t gotten close to all he had gone though, Alicia had just got thought one day and was explaining the next. She hadn’t gotten to her humiliating visit to the mall, the tan, the decision where Ron finalizes making Alicia a girl, the blowjob she was forced to give to Craig, the beating by Mistress Sandra and Mistress Katherine, and the corset, or his first meeting with Mistress Donna where they was told her that she will become the household maid. From then on it became predictable downward spiral that shattered apart his innocent life in four short months and after that was a living nightmare that nearly drove her to suicide within two years time. But, amazingly she was still alive because she was sure someday, she would have the upper hand. She just had to maintain hope, and her strength. She was strong even as a girl.

The news that she would have to become a girl was shattering. She had hoped when she was free he could revert back to a masculine existence as she was meant to be. But that was stolen from herm, and it pissed her off. She decided then that if she had to be a girl, she would be a strong girl. She would make a damn good girl that commanded respect. She knew how to be a girl, but a overly feminine girl his sister trained her to be. She wouldn’t become -that-.

As Alicia was musing over what she would have to become and what ways to achieve what she wanted, a nurse pushed a bed in beside her. The bed had a small boy laying asleep on it. The boy looked to be around six years old. He looked badly hurt and she had overheard the doctor talking to a nurse about the situation. Eavesdropping, she found out the boy was eleven years old! The boy didn’t like to be thought of as a little boy and that he had a condition, which inhibited his growth. The boys name was Terri.

Terri was starting to wake up and looked over at him. Terri was just gazing at her as if she was some beautiful angel or goddess. That kind of made her uncomfortable but as her appearance was decidedly female. Considering that Sandra and Ron spared no expense to make sure they did the job right, she understood. She decided to introduce himself, “Hi, I am Alicia.”

There was no response, Terri was in a dreamlike state, just gazing at him still. ‘Gee, she thought, ‘Am I -that- beautiful. She cleared his throat to get his attention. Terri jumped and that got him out of the dream he was having. Alicia reintroduced herself, “Hi, I am Alicia. “ Using Alicia because how could she explain anything else. She decided he had to get comfortable being seen and referred to as a female. As soon as she was able, he would decide on a better name than Alicia.

Terri looked at her and asked the most painful question. “Where are your parents?” Alicia felt like crying and did her best to hold back the tears.

Alicia said, “I will tell you about myself when you are ready. She saw Terri become upset and quickly added, “I know you are eleven. I refuse to treat you how I was treated but you just woke up and I don’t want to scare you too much.” He saw Terri rethink the matter and he accepted that explanation.

Alicia briefly described the horrors that were inflicted on her by her family In the following days. She tried to be gentle, but with such topics as her abuse and Kathy, it was hard to be gentle without lying. Sadly, within the next couple days Terry started having pains and she collapsed. Doctors and nurses rushed her out.

Terri was brought back a few hours later and she listened as terry started telling about himself. He was treated cruelly by bigger boys at his school. It was kind of sad. Occasionally police or a physiatrist would come in to talk to Alicia. He suspected that Terry was listening in but he pretended to sleep.

Alicia had recovered enough that she was transferred to recovery. The doctor himself escorted her to the new wing of the hospital. She personally requested the doctor or Mark escort her for she didn’t want any women near him. Alicia was surprised to see two Asian men waiting for her in his new room. One of the men was very familiar. A flash of fear spread across Alicia’s young face. There was a larger man beside the familiar one.

She asked the doctor, “I already told the police about this so why is he out, and in my room?”
The doctor didn’t know and was about to call security when the older man raised his hand. “Please give us a chance to explain, doctor. I needed to talk to Alicia about a few issues. We mean you know harm.” He strode up to the frightened boy and bowed respectfully. He scowled at the younger man when he refused to bow. He shouted something in his native language and the younger man bowed.

“Aliciasan, my name is Noboru Yamaguchi and this is my son Hiro Yamaguchi. He has come to apologize for his dishonorable actions.“

Surprisingly, Alicia felt little hostility at all toward Hiro. She was stubborn and after a short heated argument in native Japanese, Hiro bowed again and told Alicia he was sorry for what he did. Alicia shrugged and accepted it.

Noboru dismissed Hero and he stormed out steaming. Noboru sat down and kindly asked Alicia to sit down also.

Alicia looked at the older Japanese man sitting infront of her. IHe was kind of intimidating. His suit looked very expensive. The man looked extremely powerful and long accustomed to power. He told Alicia, “I have a deep seated hatred to those that abuse the weak. I have tried to raise my sons to protect those weaker than they were. Hiro didn’t learn much of it but I have hope that someday, he might learn.”

Alicia nodded. She had her doubts but this didn’t look like the man to argue the point with.

Noboru continued, “I am the leader of my family’s business of which I have considerable authority around this state now. I want you to drop your complaint toward my son. “

Alicia nodded. “I forgive Hiro. There are others that need to learn a lesson worse than Hiro. “

Noboru smiled. He bowed to Alicia, “Aliciasan thank you. The Yamaguchi clan thanks you for your generosity and kindness. In return for your great consideration to my family, I offer you my help in settling your score with your sister and brother.”

Alicia’s head jerked up staring at Noboru. “Wha-, how do you..”

The older man raised his hand and continued on, “I know a great many things Aliciasan. I am not unaware that you have been hurt. It might not be an understatement that your life was destroyed. You must make a new life. I feel a powerful deep-seated hatred toward your sister Katherine and your brother and his wife. “ He looked directly at Alicia, “I can help you punish them correctly. I control many judges and with my considerable contributions toward the Los Angeles police department, my family has free reign to execute…. justice.

Alicia smiled. She liked that idea greatly. She wanted to make Kathy and Sandra feel the pain she felt for so many years. The thought of inflicting pain on those two horrible women that shattered apart her life at the age of twelve brought a bright smile to hers face. But, she didn’t want to become a criminal like they were. She felt if she gave in then she would be no better than they were. She told the older man, “I don’t want to break the law, then I’m no better than Kathy and Sandra. They will pay for what they did, the police will arrest them and they will go to prison.”

Noboru snorted loudly. “You are being naive. Ron has access to millions of dollars your late father accumulated and willed to him. They will have the best lawyers working for them. Defending them and they will do their best to paint you as a wanting slut and transvestite that wanted to change. They will object everything, get evidence thrown out, challenge all of the evidence you brings’ admissibility. If they don’t get acquitted, that would be a great surprise. You will be lucky if they spend 6 months in prison.”
