Miley Cyrus reflected back on the last 24 hrs, as she lay naked in a cell just off the kitchen. She had been vacationing in Hawaii and was on her way home in a private plane. Next thing Miley knew she woke up in kitchen.
She was taken to a room and told she was to be food. So in order not to end up on a platter Miley had sacrificed her virginity to the young son of the man who had brought her here.
 She also had eaten a human hand for the same reason. Still Miley knew that she would end up on one eventually, but she wanted to put it off for as long as possible.
 In the morning she was removed from her cell and sat at the table. Miley saw no sign of the other children that had come with her.
Perhaps it was wishful thinking but Miley was hoping in a macabre sort of way that she might be seeing one of them this morning, on a platter that was.
 She found herself disappointed for the meat was ground into sausage patties. Still it was just as tasty as last night’s meal.
 Miley got the nerve up and asked Andrew, “sir can I talk to you privately?”
 Andrew nodded and took her to his office. He studied her teenager’s body. Like most teenage girls Miley still had a bit of baby fat showing which would melt away during the cooking process. These juices could be used to create gravy or add extra flavor to the meat.
At the moment though he had other plans for Miley and the sooner he got their talk out of the way the sooner he could put them in motion.
 Andrew asked, “Is this about your rival Michaela?”
 Miley smiled saying, “yes can you get her?”
  Andrew had thought about this last night and wanted the girl too. “Well it all depends what you will do in return. It will also depend on where she located. If she over in Hollywood then there no way to get her,” Andrew said.
 Miley shook her head no explaining, “She’s in Hawaii. In fact, Michaela is even staying at the same hotel I was in.”
 Andrew smiled at the pop star as he said, “well it seems that is an unlucky hotel. Having had two pop stars stayed there and then disappear within a week of each other. Now you said you’d do anything for me if I got her. Well I going to give you a choice, A. I can fuck you or B. you can give me a blow job. That’s the payment I will require for you to have revenge.”
 Miley wasn’t sure what a blow job was but she knew about fucking and she was still to sore down stairs for that. She glumly told Andrew, “I guess the blow job. Um, what do I have to do?”
 He laughed coming around to stand in front of Miley. “Not much my dear,” Andrew said as dropped his pants. “Just wrap pretty lips of your around my manhood.”
 Miley eye were huge as she sank to her knees. She took Andrew’s monster cock in her hand and guided it into her mouth.
 “Mmm, that’s right honey lick it,” he told Miley.
 She wasn’t actually licking him as much as trying to push his cock back away. Miley began to gag as his manhood went down her throat. Andrew pull back slightly allowing her to breathe.
This was because Miley had a job to do before she died and that was to provide entertainment at his children’s birthday party.
 “Now suck on it honey. Mmm that’s good,” Andrew said.  Miley wasn’t sure she liked what was doing, but her captor seem happy. That was important to her because he was the one who decided which child would be cooked and eaten. Miley had decided that she wanted to put that off for as long as possible.
 For Andrew it became increasing hard to hold the surprise he had for the teen. When he couldn’t hold the surprise anymore he shot his load into Miley’s mouth.
 As his hot cum filled Miley’s mouth she tried to scream and pull away. She couldn’t though as Andrew was holding her head tight himself. Her mouth filled and she had no choice but to swallow. Andrew finished and released her head.
 Miley collapsed to the floor spiting cum from her mouth. Andrew pulled his pants up and went to his wet bar poured 2 glasses of port wine and taking one for himself giving the other one to Miley.
 “Drink this if you want to clean your mouth,” Andrew said.
   The pop star didn’t know what it was but drank it anyway. She would drink anything to get the awful taste out her mouth.
 “I never want to do that again,” Miley stated.
 It didn’t matter to her if that would end up on a platter. It just that she didn’t like what he had done to her.
 With a chuckle Andrew said, “That’s alright; to tell you the truth my wife, Louise, doesn’t like to do that either. But I do like it.”
The phone on his desk buzzed and a few minutes later he hung up. “I will let you roam the castle by yourself if you do me a favor. It seems the other children aren’t eating. What I need you to do is convince them to eat or I will have to have Hon butcher them, before them loose to much weight.”
 Miley shrugged saying, “that going to happen anyway isn’t it?”
 Andrew nodded telling her, “yes all of you are destined to grace our table. But being butchered alive is painful and noisy and while being slow cooked alive maybe noisy it’s not as painful.”
 Miley thought back to last nights meat she had a smile on her face like she had enjoyed being cooked. “Alright I try,” she said.
 Miley was escorted to a room just off the kitchen where the others were being held.  She looked at the others they were still naked and tears were flowing.
 Miley said, “They want me to explain things to you. If you don’t eat they’re going to have to cut you up into pieces. That’s why I’m eating what ever they say to eat. I don’t want to end up in little pieces.”
 While she talked to them Andrew went and found his wife and explained things about acquiring the new meat. “I’ve already got a hunting party ready. They said that they could have 6 new meat packs ready to go by tomorrow evening. Would you mind going back and picking them up,” he asked.
 Louise said, “oh alright I’ll do it. But on one condition, could make sure there a teen boy included in the batch for my use.”  Andrew laughed and said, “I had a feeling you’d want one so I made sure they’d put a toy on there for you.”
 It took Miley 20 minutes to actually get the kids to agree to eat anything presented to them. When Miley was taken out of the pantry as they everyone called it, there was a little girl on the counter screaming.
 “Looks like she was going to be tonight’s dinner.” Can I watch you cook her,” Miley asked.
Hon smiled as he bundled the girl’s hair into foil. “As long as you don’t get in the way you may watch,” he said.
 Miley wanted to watch what would happen because this was going to be done to her soon enough. She saw the girl, approximately 8 years old, oiled sprinkled with spices and put into a roasting pan and then shoved into the oven. Miley couldn’t help but hear the girl screaming but notice that the oven was on low.
She was fascinated and didn’t even fell Hon come over and removed the hair from between her legs. The child’s screams of panic soon turned to moans as she learned, to late, how to pleaser herself. The little girl only had 15 minutes of her life to play with pussy then she became meat with a smile on her face.
 Miley didn’t realize it had been more then hour that she had stood watching the girl slowly become meat. It had been trilling to see that a live girl turned to meat.
 Miley, found a couple of fingers twiddling in her own pussy. When Miley realized that she quickly removed her fingers and looked around. Hon was staring at her a grin on his face. She blush a bright red in embarrassment having been caught masturbating.
 Miley had to know, “do girls always do that when their cooked?” Laughing Hon said, “yes be it boy or girl when their cooked alive they most always play with themselves to the end. And what you were doing also happens when they watch one cook.”
 It was 1 day before the twins birthday when the jet came carrying a new load of meat and Michaela. They were still unconscious when unload from the plane. The meat was brought to the kitchen where they were stung up on meat hooks for inspection.
 Miley had just come out of Jon’s room where he had fucking her. She allowed this because he had threatened to tell his father to cook Miley if she didn’t do what he wanted.
 Miley was excited when told that her rival had arrived by Andrew. Andrew said, “Your friend is here if you’d like to join me in the kitchen.”
It took her a few seconds to figure out that he was talking about Michaela. Miley said sourly, “she’s no friend of mine. But I would like to be there when she finds out what you do to people. But she only knows me as Hanna Montana. Can I have my wig?”
Andrew nodded saying, “alright you probably want to clean up too. You do that and I’ll get your wig. Andrew went to his bedroom grabbed the wig and came back to the bathroom he found Miley was rapped in a towel.
“You’re still meat you know. Therefore you don’t need this,” Andrew reminded the girl as he removed the towel.
She blushed and looked at her feet saying, “Yes sir.”
 Miley hadn’t forgotten she was hoping that he had though.
 She put her wig on and smiled. “Let’s go see Michaela. I can hardly wait until you tell her you’re going to cook her.”
 Andrew managed to suppress a laugh he knew something Miley didn’t. He’d tell her and the other one his plans at the same time.
“Alright put your hands behind you so I can cuff you,” Andrew said.
Miley protested asking, “What? Why are you going do this?”
  This time Andrew did add a chuckle as he explained, “I don’t want Michaela to realize you were the one who told me where to get her.”
 She accepted the answer and allowed herself to be cuffed and led to the kitchen. Miley smiled as she saw her rival hanging there in the kitchen.
With a nod from his boss Hon walked over and stuck a clove of garlic under the nose of Michaela. A few whiffs of garlic and she woke up.
A disoriented Michaela looked around until her eyes fell on Miley/Hanna. “You!?! What’s going on? Get me down,” she said.
Miley said, “I’m glad to see you too Michaela. As for getting you down I can’t because I’m in the same fix as you.” Miley turned and showed her that her hands were cuffed. Correction cuties you should say ‘fixings,’ as in you’re both going to be fixed for my children’s birthday dinner,” Andrew said with a smirk.
Miley looked up at him saying, “Huh? I thought if Michaela was here you wouldn’t have to cook me.”
Laughing Andrew said, “No I never said any thing of the sort. If you were to remember I said you were going to be a birthday dinner for Jon and Joni. Michaela is just a bonus and she too is going to be on a platter.”
 It was now Michaela’s turn to look surprised and scared at the same time as her mind struggled to process the information that she’d just heard.
“Birthday dinner? A platter? You mean your going to eat us?”
 Andrew gave her an evil smile, “yes my dear that’s exactly what I mean. Now then I’m going to trust you not to run Hanna while I examine your friend here.”
 Hanna said, “She’s no friend of mine. Also I won’t run because I want to see this.” Michaela was also a dark haired beauty. She began to scream and twist when as Andrew picked a knife. He quickly cut away her clothing leaving Michaela exposed to everyone in the kitchen.
“Hanna go stand next to your counterpart. I want to compare your meats,” Andrew ordered.
Hanna/Miley giggled and stood next to her rival, while Michaela was in tears. Andrew liked his lips and began to compare their teenage bodies. Hon stood behind his boss taking notes.
Andrew squeezed both of the girl’s breasts saying, “it’s going to be a tough decision as to who’s tit I’ll eat first.”
 Hon laughed saying, “why not sample them. It might help you in your decision.”
Andrew gave a smile then starting with Michaela began licking her. At first she screamed and trashed violently about. Soon tough Michaela calmed down as her breasts began to tingle pleasantly.
 Miley/Hanna was becoming jealous now but didn’t know why. After all the more he liked the taste the more chance he was going to eat it, but still she was jealous.
 “Not bad Michaela but you counter part has sweeter ones,” Andrew said.
 This filled Miley with so much pride that she threw her chest forward. “Why don’t you taste mine again just to make sure,” she said and stepped close to her captor.
 He sucked on Hanna’s tits for a few minutes before moving down between her legs to munch on her juicy cunt steak.
 He reminded himself this was Hanna not Miley now and for some reason that trilled him.
 “Mmm yes Hanna you’re so delicious I could almost eat you raw,” Andrew said between licks.
 Michaela watched in fascination at what Andrew was doing and Miley’s reaction with was to thrust her pussy into the man’s face and scream with pleasure.
 Michaela had mixed fillings about what was happening to Hanna. Fist she was glad it was happing to the slut and not her. On the other hand Michaela couldn’t help but wondering what it felt like, because it looked liked Hanna was enjoying it.
 She heard Hanna scream then slurping sounds as Andrew ate out Hanna’s pussy.
 He then switched girls sampling Michaela. She gasped in surprise as his tongue probed her but soon the gasps turned to moans of happiness. He finished Michaela up faster than he liked but there was a certain part of his body that needed relief and he’d prefer to do that in private with Hanna/Miley.
 “I’ll have her cunt steak and put Jon down for Hanna’s steak. He’s been tenderizing her since we got her, so I think that’s a good reward for him.” He gave the cook a sly grin adding, “I think though she needs to be tenderized a last time before I turn her over to you for that.”
With that he picked up Hanna/Miley and took her to the trophy room. This room contained selected heads of previous meals. “Miley wakeup honey,” Andrew said as he removed the yellow wig. When she opened her eyes and looked around the room Miley couldn’t help but scream. “You’re going to put my head on the wall? That why I’m here, for measurements?” she asked shakily.
 Andrew nodded say, “yes among other things. Now stand right there in that space.” Tears formed in Miley’s eyes as she complied. He looked at where she stood and shook his head, “Hmm nope not there. Try here now please. Yes I think you’ll work out well there.”
Now Andrew gave Miley an evil grin as he laid her back onto the couch and tide her hand above her head. “Ok now for the other things.”
 Miley was confused as to why he had tied her hand above her head. Andrew stripped off his clothing and climbed on top of the teen. Miley could feel his raging manhood on her stomached. She now realized what was about to happen to her and didn’t want his cock inside her.
“No please don’t your too big for me,” Miley pleaded.
 Andrew ignored the plea saying “I don’t think teens can ever be too small.”
 With that he spread Miley’s legs apart. She screamed mostly from fright as Andrew’s long pulsating cock entered her pussy for the first time. Andrew found her tight but a lot looser then the preteens he was use too.
 From Miley’s point of view it felt as if she was being stuffed by big salami. Soon though she once again felt a familiar sensation, that of rapture.
 Moans of pleasure escaped Miley’s lips and her eyes slipped into the back of her head, as she began to enjoy what was happening to her. Andrew too was enjoying their love making punctuating each thrust for with a grunt.
 Andrew and Miley came at the same time, him with a loud grunt her with a loud screech. After a few minutes it took for him to recover Andrew reclaimed his clothing and unhooked the unconscious Miley and took her back to the kitchen. Michaela lay on table with a smile on her face. Hon had evidently tenderized her good.
 Snickering Andrew placed Miley on top of her rival in the 69 position so the teens could munch on each other. Hon came in and stood next to his boss. They watched and sure enough the girls began to lick each other.
“Mmm, this doesn’t taste bad,” Miley murmured only partly awake.
Some of combined juices from Andrew and Miley’s coupling dripped from her pussy onto her rival’s lips and Michaela had instantly licked it. Michaela reaction was just the opposite of Miley.
“Yuck, what is this? It tastes like dirty socks,” Michaela sputtered.
Both of the girl’s eyes popped open in shock as they realized they were licking each other. Andrew and Hon chuckled at the girls as they struggled to get off of each other. They walked over and separated the soon to be meat. “Well girls this is it, from now on you’re both meat. They’re all yours now Hon. Oh are you still planning to BBQ Hanna or should I call her Miley since she doesn’t have the wig on anymore.”
Both girls gasped in surprise Miley because her secret was out Michaela because she hadn’t known the secret having not ever seen her rival’s TV show.
They began to struggle but were to well secured to the table do much more then wiggle.
Hon nodded to his boss saying, “Yes sir, I’ve decided to BBQ them both. Do you think the children will approve?”
 Andrew laughed, “Oh I’m sure mine will. As for these two I don’t think so.”
The girls both began screaming and trashing about on the table. “NOOO!” they shouted in unison.
 Andrew shook his head saying “go ahead and make all the noise you want girls. There’s nothing you can do about being cooked and nobody is going to come rescue you.”
 With that he nodded to the cook and left the kitchen. Hon looked down at the crying teens. “First thing is to clean you up Miley. The boss hardly ever leaves a girl clean,” he said and pick the girl and putting her into the shower. Miley was scrubbed until her skin turned bright pink.
 “Aright you’re nice and clean now but you’ve got all your body hair that has to be removed. Lucky for you I’ve got cream to remove it. Otherwise I would have had to rip it off.”
  Miley could do nothing as the hair removal cream was applied first around her shoulders and down to her breasts.
 “Defiantly don’t want any hair here when the boss bites into it,” Hon said.
Miley felt a tingling sensation were the cream. It was particularly strong around her breasts. She decided to concentrate one the feelings it was causing rather thinking about being cooked alive and then having her body cut up into bite size portions and eaten.
A slight smile cross Miley’s lips as Hon applied more cream to her body. He spread it across her belly and then down between her legs. Miley shuddered with excitement when the cream was spread along her pussy lips.
 Hon continued down the long teenage legs to her pink toenails. “Normally we remove toenail polish but you know it look good on you. Ok time to rinse you off then you can wait on the drying rack while I do your friend,” he told her.
 Once Michaela was washed and the hair removed from the neck down she too joined Miley to dry. From their angle the girls couldn’t see what was happening.
They heard loud bangs and what sounded like water being poured into something. Hon came over to the drying rack and smiled at the pair of raw meat packs.
“I notice your muscles are rather tight and hard. So they need to be tenderized there for the two of you need to be placed in a vat of meat tenderizer overnight. We don’t want your meat to be tough and stringy now do we?” Hon said.
Once both pieces of meat were their separate vats Hon position them to face each other. “Ok girls or should meats, you’ll be in there until tomorrow morning by then you should be nice and tender.”
He wanted them to realize just how much life they had left. Hopefully they would scream because that was music to his ears. But to his disappointment, neither screamed or yelled they just sat there glaring at each other.
As it was he really didn’t have time anyway to watch them Hon still had to make two special birthday cakes for the twins.
  Michaela sneered at Miley saying, “so Miley is it I want to thank you for having me hijacked from my hotel to become food for what ever these people are.”
 Miley gave her rival a pleasant smile saying, “My pleasure, I’m doing the world a favor by getting rid of that screechy singing you do.”
 The insults flew back and forth for hours. The verbal sparing eventually ended when the girls fell asleep. Neither girl got much sleep during the night because one or the other would wake and scream at the other waking her.
 Hon woke the girls early in the next morning. He pulled both girls from their vats and laid them on the table. “I’ve got a lot to do to the both of you before I can put you girls over the coals,” Hon explained.
The girls could do little more than scream because after 15 hrs in meat tenderizer their muscles had become so loose that they could hardly move.
 Hon moved a cart over and slid Miley onto it. He took Miley over to the shower put her hands over the shower head and rinse fluid off of the meat. Next Hon cleaned insides out by once again giving her several enemas. To his disappointment Miley never screamed once during the procedure. But she did ask if she could be placed in a way that she could watch Michaela go though the cleansing process. Hon agreed placing her on a table then pushed the cart back picking up Michaela.
“What’s going on? What are you doing?” the terrified girl asked.
 Hon ignored her questions and gave both of Michaela’s breasts a squeeze. “Their nice and soft now so perhaps I may even have one of them at the party,” he said with a grin.
 She gasped then screamed as Hon inserted a libation tube into he ass for the enema. When he finished cleaning the meat in the shower Hon grabbed a pan with brush in it and returned to Miley.
“This will keep your hair from burning off during the barbequing.”
While Hon bushed Miley’s hair she asked, “Why are we being barbequed? Not that I want to be cooked but I liked to be cooked in the oven. You could BBQ Michaela and roast me in the oven.”
He shook his head saying, “nope your both go over the coals because you to big for the oven. Besides the birthday kids get to choose the meat and how it’s to be cooked. That means the two of you are BBQ.”
 After Hon finished with the girls hair, which included a foil rapping it, he pick out poles to tie them too. “How do you want it in the ass tough your cunt or should would you prefer just to be tied,” he asked Miley with an evil grin.
Hon held a 6 foot long by 3 inch wide pole. Its end was tapered to a sharp point. Miley screamed and trashed about which is what Hon had hoped for.
He wanted to know if she was going to be compliant all the way to the table our not. Meat tasted a lot better if it had a bit of fear mixed in with a girl’s cum. Hon had  never cooked a girl who didn’t cum at least once before the end.
 “Just teasing my dear, you’re both going to be tied to spits and roasted alive,” he said.
 Miley didn’t like the sound of that but what choice did she have. “Can I at last see Michaela die before me? I was the one who had the idea to bring her here,” she asked.
Hon chuckled softly, “yes I’ve thought you might ask that. Well I can’t be certain you’ll out last her but I will try my best to keep you going long enough for you to see that.”
 As he tied Miley securely to the pole Hon made sure the girl’s hands could reach her sweet spot. After all she had a show to put on and playing with ones sex was part of that.
 Michaela kept whining for release as she too was bound to a spit. Hon tied Michaela's hands in front of her pussy. Then the last part of the spit was attached. A stabilizer was inserted up each of their virgin asses.
One last thing remained to be done then and that the BBQ sauce. That would be applied just before they went over the coals.
Hon got his wife and children to help bring the meat down to the beach where a pair of BBQ pits had been built. The charcoal had already been lit and was glowing red hot. Miley and Michaela were placed on a table and Hon went to a refrigerator.
Amongst the beer and wine were a couple of buckets of homemade BBQ sauce, which he’d made up earlier in the week.
“Alright Michaela I going to let you choose which sauce to use on you, regular or smoky?” Hon asked.
“No I don’t want BBQ sauce on me. I don’t want to be cooked. I just want to go home,” Michaela said though her tears.
 “Sorry I can’t do that. You have to stay for dinner. And since you won’t choose I’m just going to coat you with the regular sauce.”
Hon slathered Michaela in BBQ sauce and placed over the coals where she started being turned by his daughter Yuan. Andrew and his family came down to the beach just as Hon finished placing the last of the BBQ sauce on Miley. The twins ran over immediately ran over to Miley and stared at her.
  Jon said, “I want to turn her.” Joni piped in right behind her brother, “me too, I want to help cook her too.”
Andrew came up behind them and said, “You’ll both be able to turn her. In fact I think it might take the both of you to do it. After all she a lot bigger piece of meat then we normally get.”
 The kids giggle when Miley began to scream as she was placed over the coals. Up until that point she had held out hope that they might let her go. Now she knew better, that she was nothing more than a piece of meat.
 Grabbing the handle the twins began turning Miley. She rotated around and around with glimpses of Michaela turning on the other spit. That made her for a few slightly better for a few seconds until she was turned and once again looking at coals. Then the heat would hit Miley’s body and she would scream.
 Soon Miley thought she could feel herself cooking, especially her breasts. When she was turned to face toward the coals, they felt as if they were going to burn off.
 Her fingers found their way between her legs and began twittering her pussy. Miley closed her eyes and a grin crossed her face.
 While Miley’s fingers relived her tension of being cooked Michaela was having no fun at all.
 She screamed, “Stop I’m not meat. I’m a human being.” When that didn’t work she cried, “Let me go. I won’t tell anyone you were cooking me.”
The girls had been barbequing a ½ hr by the time everyone else on the island came down to watch the girls cook.
 “Kids you look tired. I get someone to relieve you,” Hon said as he applied BBQ sauce to Miley.
 Both Jon and Joni shook their heads no with the boy saying, “We want stay here until she’s cooked.” Hon smiled at them before addressing Miley, “you’re doing fine my dear. The BBQ sauce will cool you down a little.”
 Miley managed a smile because she was beginning to feel herself cook. Even rubbing her pussy was having little effect now.
 “How is Michaela doing? Worse I hope,” Miley asked.
 With a chuckle Hon said, “She’s still alive and cooking but she was lower to the coals so she slightly more done then you.” That brought another smile to Miley’s face. Then she was turning again and she could smell BBQ pork. It took a minute for Miley to realize what she smelled was not pork, but herself.
 She couldn’t wonder if she smelled this good then how would she going to taste.
At one point Andrew came over and whispered in his children’s ears. After the conversation with their father Jon and Joni who were still turning Miley was stopped and she found herself staring at rival.
Michaela too had stop turning her chest rise up and down very fast. Miley saw the girl’s mouth open and a scream like none she heard before came out of it. Then there was silence from Michaela and her chest no longer moved.
Miley knew she was dead even though her eyes were open. It was confirmed by Hon who poked the girl several times with a meat fork with no reaction. He closed her eyes and slathered more BBQ sauce on the teenage meat and then Michaela’s body was turning again. He walked over to Miley and poked her with the fork. She let out a shriek more in fright then pain. Hon laughed, “Just making sure you’re still with us, but not much longer I’m afraid. You have any last words for the diners?”
Miley managed to a little laugh before saying, “um, bon appetite?”
She gasped and a smile crossed her lips then her body relaxed. Miley Cyrus was now nothing then meat to be dined upon at a birthday party. It took Miley and Michaela a few more hours to fully cook.
 They were placed on platters and were ready to serve but Andrew had one thing to do to Miley before she was served per the twins. Out of site of everyone he put the blond wig on her transforming Miley into Hanna.
 Then the meat was set upon the table Jon got all of Hanna’s cunt steak. His sister having no interested it saying, “I’m a girl and I don’t eat pussy. Father may I have a Hanna drum stick?”
Andrew laughed, “Yes you can. How about we have Hon leave the foot on.” She smiled and nodded.
Andrew himself took a cunt steak off Michaela and the right breast from Hanna.
Hon cut the left breast from Michaela for himself and hid it away for later. Andrew came and sat next to his son and asked between bites of breast, “how do you like this cut? Jon having his first taste of cunt steak replied,
 “This is the best meat I’ve ever had.” Andrew said, “Yes she dose tastes good this way and she wasn’t bad the other way either. Do you and your sister have any other TV or movie stars you’d like to have over for dinner?”
Jon took another bite and smiled.

                                         THE END
