Ava had her hands clasped in front of her chest and looked expectantly up the street, which had been cleared of snow. She was wearing a black winter coat, although she didn't really need it, while her friend Chloe stood next to her, thickly bundled up in a padded jacket and shivering slightly.
“How can you just stand there like that and not
freeze? Your coat is way too thin!” Chloe muttered as she scrutinized each car,
eagerly awaiting Summer's return.
“Oh, you know, I wear a lot underneath,” Ava lied
and Chloe cast a doubtful glance at her leggings and leather boots.
“Well, if you say so. I hope the others are done
setting up,” Chloe mumbled, pointing to a limo pulling off the highway down to
Leon City, ”There she is at last!”
The limo stopped in the parking lot in front of
them and they could still hear someone talking inside. The side door of the car
opened and an unusually bright blonde Summer stepped out of it. Ava immediately
felt her warm, living clothes squeeze her gently. Greed was apparently just as
happy as Ava and Chloe to see Summer safely back home.
“Oh guys, I've missed you so much!” exclaimed
Summer, wrapping Ava and Chloe in her arms.
“We miss you too Summer,” Ava whispered in her ear
and she felt Greed wrap a small tentacle around Summer without Chloe being able
to see.
“But before we go any further...” Chloe announced
as they broke free of the embrace and handed Summer a spray can of pink hair
dye.
“Until you get your real color back,” she said
with a grin and Summer didn't need to be told twice. Without hesitation, she
pulled off the cap and began to recolor her bright blonde hair to its usual
pink.
“Damn, of everything I've been through, that had
been one of the worst!” she announced with a chuckle, earning her a quizzical
look from Ava and Chloe.
“Are you sure? Not the encounters with the super
criminals who threw you in a dark dungeon and tried to make you compliant with
drugs and hypnosis?” asked Ava.
“Naaa, that was just an ordinary working day,”
Summer waved it off, ”Trust me, etiquette class was true hell.”
Ava raised an eyebrow.
“Whatever,” Summer said, waving after the limo as
it drove off, “Why would I come to the cursed forest?”
“Let me surprise you,” Chloe said, grabbing
Summer's hand and leading her down the snowy forest path towards C&T.
Summer glanced at Ava for help, but she just grinned and walked after her two
friends. Chloe and Summer had so much to talk about that Ava didn't want to
interrupt, and some of it she didn't want to hear.
“I'm telling you, those uniforms we had to wear
looked stunning and it was all latex...” Summer began and Ava stopped. While
none of this was new or unpleasant to her, she still wanted to keep a healthy
distance from it. Wearing Greed almost permanently was already kinky enough for
her. As if on cue, he squeezed her gently and Ava immediately grabbed a bottle
from her bag, using it to wet her clothes. Summer and Chloe were so busy
talking that they didn't notice. The water stain disappeared almost instantly
and Greed was calmed down again for the time being. In gratitude, he briefly
cuddled her whole body, giving her a shiver down her neck. Ava bit her lower
lip and a soft moan escaped her mouth.
“That must be really good water,” Chloe said as
she glanced over her shoulder after hearing the moans.
“It's really good,” Ava lied again, nodding to
Chloe as she stopped by a tree and led the way into the clearing. Summer and
she broke through the branches and entered the familiar clearing. In front of
them on the snow-cleared grass was a table with countless delicacies and warm
drinks, and benches were set up all around them. Next to and in front of them
stood their friends, beaming with joy and happy to finally see Summer again.
“WELCOME HOME!”
“Aww, guys, you didn't have to do that!” exclaimed
Summer, running over to her friends to thank them. Ava smiled briefly at the
surprise before she felt Chloe's hand on her shoulder.
“Are you all right? You seem a little ...
distracted lately,” Chloe said.
“Oh, um yeah,” Ava said guiltily. Chloe wasn't the
first person to notice this.
“Just had a lot on my mind at the moment, thinking
about what happened to Summer. I'm just glad she's back and I'm sure Tea will
be even happier!”
“Definitely!” Chloe confirmed and pushed Ava
slightly forward so that they could both join the others. They were just about
to squeeze between Kim and Caitlyn's new girlfriend, Jade (who looked vaguely
familiar to Ava), when they heard a resounding clap and suddenly all
conversation stopped. All eyes turned to Summer, who was standing opposite Tea
with her hand raised. Tea had a shocked look on her face and a red mark on her
cheek.
“I've been through hell because of you! How long
did it take you to call the police after I left? Oh, what? You didn't realize I
was kidnapped and disappeared for days?” Summer hissed, glaring angrily at Tea.
“Summer, maybe you should ...”
“I'm not going to calm down, Cait! I don't know
what Tea told you, but I can tell you that not only did she forget to report
her girlfriend missing, but she also took her parents' money to keep her
relationship with said girlfriend a secret!"
“I invested the money in an apartment! I did that
for us...” Tea defended herself.
“IF I'M COMING BACK?!?” Summer interrupted her,
”NO MESSAGES ON MY PHONE FROM YOU. NO GOODBYE OR SEE YOU AGAIN AND NOW YOU COME
HERE AND THINK EVERYTHING IS FINE AGAIN AND I'M YOUR LITTLE SLAVE ON MY KNEES
BEGGING FOR YOUR MERCY TO MOVE IN WITH YOU!”
“Summer I ...”
“No ... Tea I don't want to see you anymore, get
out before I completely lose my temper!” muttered Summer, raising her finger
admonishingly. In contrast to her previous outburst, her voice was now almost a
whisper, but a hundred times more threatening.
“Fine,” Tea just said and turned away. She pushed
past Ava and Chloe and walked down the clearing with her head held high.
“I'll, um ... talk to her,” Kim
muttered curtly, following Tea quickly.
“Don't bother, Kim,” Summer called after her,
earning a nod from Kim before she caught up with Tea.
After Summer's outburst, the mood was sombre. The
guests soon started talking to each other, but there was no trace of the
initial joy. Ava also had the feeling that she urgently needed to talk to
Summer, but couldn't find the right words.
“But what about?” she mumbled and sat down on a
bench with a warm cup of cocoa in her hands. Summer, meanwhile, had put on her
usual face and was trying to make the best of the reunion.
” ‘About what is a fair question!’ said Jade
suddenly, sitting down opposite Ava.
“Heeeeyyyy,” Ava said shyly, sipping her cup to
keep from speaking.
“You were Ava, right?” the red-haired woman asked,
scrutinizing Ava closely. She just nodded.
“I heard from Cait that you and Summer have known
each other for a long time? Are you very close friends?”
Ava refrained from rolling her eyes and gulped
down her cocoa before answering.
“Yeah, we've had our ups and downs, but... we've
always been best friends.”
“Good to hear.”
“Yeah.”
Ava screamed inwardly. The thought that she knew
Jade from somewhere and that she seemed to know more about Ava than she should
made her nervous. Ava resolved to take Caitlyn aside when she got the chance.
“Talk to her,” Jade said, interrupting Ava's train
of thought.
“But about what...”
“You already know that,” Jade said, standing up,
”if you need me, I'll be with Cait.”
“All right,” Ava muttered, raising her hand as a
sign that she'd understood. She hadn't, but Ava was glad that Jade was back
with Caitlyn. She turned her attention back to her cocoa and spluttered into
her cup when Summer suddenly sat down next to her with a plate of food.
“Are you okay?” Summer asked with a raised eyebrow
when Ava started coughing.
“Yeah, cough... cough. Yeah, you all right too?”
Ava asked as if out of habit as she recovered from the shock and felt Greed
patting her back under her coat. Summer sighed.
“Well...not really...” said Summer, her usually
bright eyes growing duller. Now Ava understood what Jade had meant and gave her
a furtive glance over her shoulder. Jade winked at her and nodded before giving
Caitlyn a kiss and joining the others.
“Um... do you... do you want to talk about it?”
Summer rubbed her eyes and a sigh escaped her
throat.
“I ... I wanted to get back to Leon City as soon
as possible and I forgot what I don't have anymore. No home, all my things
locked away, no money for my studies, if I'm even allowed back to university
and Tea ...”
Summer fell silent.
“But why am I telling you this? It's obvious
that's the way it is. I mean, what have I ...”
“Go on,” Ava said, gently placing a hand on
Summer's back.
“Thanks...” Summer mumbled, struggling for words
for a moment, ”I... don't know where to go and the only thing I have is what
I'm wearing and a suitcase of clothes and well... a few latex souvenirs.”
“Of course.”
Summer smiled briefly.
“Sorry. I'm just trying to take my mind off the
problems.”
“But are they really problems?” Ava asked,
frowning.
“Well, yes?” Summer said, surprised.
“Why don't you just move in with me until you've
found a new place to stay and maybe we can persuade your parents to let you get
some of your things out of the house?”
“Won't your parents mind?” Summer asked nervously.
“Naa, I'm glad my mom knows that my best friend is
the one with the pink hair,” Ava said, hugging Summer from the side, ”Greed
would love it too.”
“Thanks, I ... well, if you don't mind, I'd love
to stay with you for a while, but I don't think I can get into my old house to
get my stuff out anymore.”
“Let's just go and have a look,” Jade suddenly
said from behind them and Ava and Summer startled.
“My goodness Jade, I think we're going to have to
buy you a cowbell,” Summer said and Jade chuckled.
“That's what I thought. The key doesn't fit
anymore,” Summer mumbled sadly as she, Ava, Caitlyn, Chloe and Jade stood
outside Summer's old home.
“Maybe you took the wrong one?” asked Jade, almost
casually to Caitlyn, ”Cait can you go to my car and get my thingy?”
“Your thingy?” repeated Caitlyn with a raised
eyebrow.
“You know, that thingy, the one that's in my glove
compartment.”
Caitlyn narrowed her eyes to slits, but ended up
walking to Jade's car while Jade herself got more confused looks from Ava,
Chloe, and Summer.
“Your thingy?” Ava asked again, but Jade waved it
off.
“A policewoman in training shouldn't necessarily
see what I'm doing now,” Jade whispered, pulling out a lock pick set.
“You're not serious,” Ava hissed, but Jade had
already inserted her tool into the lock. It clicked softly and Jade stepped
aside to let Summer in.
“So cool! How do you know how to do that?” asked
Summer, while Ava again had the feeling that she knew Jade from somewhere else.
Maybe from a wanted poster from the police?
“This is Leon City after all,” Jade evaded the
question and shrugged her shoulders.
“Really not that unusual in the city. I had a few
at home too,” Chloe confirmed, giggling, just as Caitlyn came back with a
flashlight and Ava started to think about what else her friends did in their
free time besides bondage.
“Here's your thingy,” Caitlyn mumbled in confusion
and Jade beamed.
"Yeaaa I thought Summer would be able to find
the right key better this way, but she found the right one in advance. Too bad,
Caitlyn maybe next time,” Jade laughed.
“But couldn't you have just used your cell
phones...”
“Let's hurry inside and pack Summer's things!”
Jade said quickly, pushing her girlfriend inside along with the others.
“Okay, um, Jade and Ava you can take anything
Pokémon related and Chloe and Cait you can empty the room here,” Summer said,
knocking on a door.
“Empty? How? Completely?” Chloe asked, opening the
door and turning on the light. Inside, it looked like a Japanese dojo, with
paper walls and bamboo installations and soft mats on the floor.
“Yes, my bondage room. It's not as much as you
think. Just the stuff in the cupboards and on the walls,” Summer said with a
red head and quickly moved on before Caitlyn and Chloe could say anything.
“Wait a minute! That's not coming with us!” Ava
intervened, ”If my parents...”
“Don't worry, Chloe's taking most of it until I
find something of my own and Caitlyn's taking a thing or two too. You'll just
have to live with my Pokémon stuff,” Summer said placatingly, ”and maybe some
ropes and catsuits.”
Ava exhaled deeply.
“Summer...”
Summer frowned briefly until Jade came up and put
a hand on both their shoulders.
“How about a deal? Ava and I take over the dojo
and I tie Ava up now. If she can't escape until we're ready to leave, you take
everything she couldn't get out of,” she suggested and Ava's mouth dropped
open.
“Great idea!” shouted Summer and disappeared into
her room before Ava could object, closely followed by Caitlyn and Chloe, who
grinned cheekily at Ava.
“Hey, don't I have a say in this?” Ava shouted,
stunned and with her arms raised, until Jade suddenly hugged her from behind.
Her hand slid up Ava's body and neck and pushed her chin up.
“Don't worry, I won't bite,” Jade whispered in
Ava's ear and maneuvered her victim into the dojo. She pushed Ava to the floor
and grabbed a thick bundle of ropes hanging from hooks on the wall.
“At least not hard,” Jade added with an ominous
grin as she unrolled the rope and let it whip to the floor beside Ava. Ava
swallowed. This situation was very different from the other times with her
friends. Jade exuded such overwhelming dominance that Ava sat on the floor as
if in shock and could only look up at the redhead.
“Are you going to let Summer take a catsuit or do
you want me to change you before we start?” asked Jade.
“She can take anything she wants, just don't tie
me up!” came from Ava's lips and she crawled away from Jade until she felt the
wall at her back.
“Oh Ava, that wasn't part of the bet,” Jade
chortled and went after her. She made a lasso out of one of the ropes and threw
it over Ava's head. Panicked, Ava tried to dodge it, but it was too late. The
rope slipped over her shoulders and stopped at her elbows before Jade pulled it
tight. She used it to pull Ava back to the center of the room and grinned down
at her.
“Come on, I'm not doing you any harm and Summer
would be really happy.”
“Yeah but...I barely know you and that's...”
“Would you rather I get Caitlyn to tie you up?”
asked Jade, but before Ava could nod, Jade added, ”I have to warn you though,
Caitlyn can be a real bitch when she has the Dominate role. Trust me, you're
better off with me.”
Ava had opened her mouth to object again, but
remembering what Caitlyn had done when they were at the events at C&T, she
shut it again.
“A ... but not too tight!”
“Of course,” Jade replied with a smile, and Ava
felt as if Jade's dominant aura was turning into a friendlier one.
“Arms behind your back!” Jade demanded the next
moment, freeing Ava from the lasso. Ava did as she was told.
“You were limber, if I remember correctly, weren't
you?” slipped out Jade.
“Yes, but...” Ava was about to say, but was
interrupted when Jade grabbed her hands and pulled them to her butt. She tied
one coil of rope after another around her wrists and secured everything with
two tight knots.
“No buts today,” Jade announced, pressing Ava's
elbows together without Ava even letting out a moan, “Ava ... I'm getting very
jealous of you right now and wonder if you could handle a Reverse Prayer
bondage.”
“What's that?” Ava asked nervously, glancing over
her shoulder. Jade looked at her pityingly, like one would look at a young puppy
who had tripped over his own paws.
“Awww, you're still so green behind the ears,”
Jade whispered, wiping an imaginary tear from her eye.
“Well... I've got other things on my mind than
bondage,” Ava mumbled, looking forward again.
“I hope that will change quickly with Summer in
your immediate vicinity,” Jade said and took another rope, which she finally
used to tie Ava's elbow. Next, Jade took a longer rope and found its center
before straightening Ava up so that she had to sit on her knees.
“Soo then we'll secure your arms some more,” Jade
announced and tied Ava's upper body, placing twist, after twist, around Ava's
chest, sometimes over and sometimes under her breasts and over her shoulders.
At first Ava didn't know what Jade was doing this for, until she realized that
her breasts were clearly sticking out despite her jacket and she couldn't move
her arms.
“I'd appreciate it if you'd let me keep
breathing,” Ava remarked when she felt the ropes preventing her from taking a
deep breath.
“Don't worry, we're done here,” Jade reassured her
and grabbed the thick knot, on ropes to put Ava back on the ground. The redhead
crawled to Ava's legs and grabbed several bundles of ropes.
“Nice boots, by the way,” Jade remarked, stroking
Ava's black boots and leggings.
“Hello, those weren't just my boots!” Ava
exclaimed, blushing deeply.
“Not so loud. Don't let the neighbors hear,” Jade
admonished and looked around the dojo.
“You're unbelievable!” Ava nagged after Jade as
she stood up and walked over to a closet, ”Well wait, if I come out here,
then... Jade no... I'm warning you! JADE let dammmmhhppf! MMMH!”
Jade had retrieved a large red ball gag and shoved
it unceremoniously into Ava's mouth to stifle her yelps. Additional straps ran
from it in various directions and encircled Ava's head. She tried to push it
back out with her tongue, but it was so tight behind her teeth that it seemed
to be stuck, which played into Jade's hands as she tightened all the straps.
“What do you expect? Summer needs a gag when she's
with you too, doesn't she?” Jade defended herself, kneeling back down next to
Ava's legs, which were now thrashing wildly. The redhead skillfully caught them
with a rope and sat on Ava's bottom as she began to work. She tied Ava's ankles
together and weaved her boots and their heels into her bondage. More ropes
followed below and above her knees and around her calves and thighs. She tied
them all together so they couldn't slip and made a loop around the rope around
her ankles.
“Ready for the finale?” asked Jade as she fiddled
with Ava's head.
“Nnnooooooohhh!” Ava screamed muffled into the gag
and shook her head until she felt Jade pull the rope through a D-ring on the
gag and her head and legs were pulled towards each other. Now Ava felt her body
begin to moan and she let Jade hear it through the gag, but Jade continued to
pull on the rope until Ava's body resembled a U.
“Let me know if it hurts, but I have a feeling
that as long as you look at me so darkly, you should be able to take it,” Jade
said, rubbing her hands together, ”I'll go and see how much longer they need.
You can start escaping already.”
Jade left the dojo and Ava could hear her
exchanging a few words with Summer. She herself stayed behind in the room, with
mixed feelings. She hated that she kind of liked being tied up, even if she
didn't want to admit it. Jade's bondage, though the most severe she had ever
experienced, was nonetheless gentle and in no way painful. She tried to turn
her head, but the rope that turned her into a U was too tight. She quickly
found that she could move nothing but her fingers, and they were out of reach
of any knot.
Well played, Jade. Ava thought and rolled her
eyes. Greed could certainly help her, but she didn't think that was fair to
Summer. She'd been through enough and should have some fun. Ava resigned
herself to her fate, looking up occasionally as Jade and the others
sporadically came into the room to grab ropes, latex and more from the dojo and
load them into their cars.
“How dare that bitch!” hissed Tea and signaled to
Kim. Kim threw a vase from the Bondage Hotel into the air and Tea played a
short sharp note from her clarinet. The next moment, the vase shattered into a
thousand pieces.
“After all I've done for her! Another one!”
shouted Tea and Kim and Vale rolled their eyes before Kim threw up another one.
This vase also fell victim to Tea's magic.
“One more!”
“We don't have any more,” Kim said, letting her
gaze glide over the chaos that had spread below her. She let herself slide off
a table and the blue latex boots from her magical outfit turned the shards
under her soles to dust.
“Then fix them!”
“I'm not here to...” Kim began, but was
interrupted by Vale putting a hand on her shoulder.
“Don't you think you should go home for now and I
don't know... let off steam there instead of at our mistress's house? Maybe
sleep?” Vale asked, amused.
“No! I have to do something. Make someone suffer!”
“Go ahead. The city is our playground,” Kim said
simply, leaning against the table as she pulled out her cell phone and looked
at the few pictures she had snapped at the party.
“It's not the same! Summer needs to pay for what
she did!”
“So, with someone suffering, you mean Summer? Who
could have expected that?” asked Vale, looking next to her at Kim's cell phone.
Kim wiped a picture aside, but Vale stumbled.
“Wait. One picture back,” Vale demanded and Kim
did as she was told. The picture showed Jade and Caitlyn holding hands. Vale
almost didn't see it because the focus of the picture was on Summer.
“When is the picture from?”
“From the party today,” Kim replied with a shrug
and was about to put her phone away when Vale pulled it out of her hands and
looked at the picture in a rage.
“That BITCH!” she hissed and Kim exhaled in
annoyance.
“What is it again?”
“I told that Caitlyn girl to keep her hands off my
Mistress! But there they are! Hand in hand!” Val said darkly and her hands
tightened so that Kim was afraid she would destroy her cell phone.
“I'll have to make my threat come true!” shouted
Vale, throwing Kim's cell phone into the air. The golden chains that adorned
her latex-covered body loosened and joined together to form a whip in her hand.
A sweep of her arm snapped Kim's cell phone in half and sent it crashing to the
floor.
“Come on, was that necessary?” Kim asked, clicking
her tongue disapprovingly. She knelt down on the floor and picked up the
remains of her cell phone. A blue flame appeared in her hands and the cell
phone was whole again.
“Can you guys calm down?” Kim asked irritably. Tea
and Vale were just about to hiss at her when the temperature in the room
dropped by ten degrees and the three women felt a cold shiver run down their
spines. Their mistress had stepped out of the shadows. Her pitch-black latex
body shone in the moonlight and she looked mockingly at her subordinates. They
immediately knelt down and looked at the ground.
“My children, why are you arguing? Do you not see
that you are destined for higher things and have a task?”
“Forgive me mistress,” the women said as if from
one mouth and immediately they felt a warm sensation on their chests as the
magical crystals that sat in their skin rewarded them.
“I sense much anger in two of you and a desire to
satisfy it.”
“Yes mistress, my girlfriend ...”
“Silence,” the latex figure ordered Tea and she
instantly fell silent, “I want you to get yourselves back together and do your
duty, but since you and even Vale are not in the right condition, I'm putting
Kim in charge. Kim honey, make sure these two calm down ... to make more of a
mess."
“Yes Mistress,” Kim murmured, bowing a little
more. A smile pulled at her face. She knew how to put her teammates at ease
again.
“Good. I'll ... go back to sleep ... I expect you
to get your problems ... out of the way again,” her mistress said sleepily and
walked back through the dark halls of the bondage hotel. Kim waited a moment
and then stood up to look down at Vale and Tea.
“You want revenge? Then go and get it,” Kim said
simply and both women looked up at Kim in wonder, ”But each of you will take
revenge for the other. I hope that should be enough to blow off some steam,
shouldn't it?” asked Kim, walking to the door between Tea and Vale. She was
tired too and wanted to go home to avoid annoying questions from her sister.
“Yes... Kim,” the women mumbled and looked at each
other before a sinister smile graced their lips.
“I have an excellent idea,” Vale whispered and Tea
nodded.
“I like it already.”
“Thank you so much for your help, guys!” said
Summer, wrapping Jade, Caitlyn and Chloe in her arms.
“No problem, it was nothing big,” said Chloe, giving Summer a hug.
“Do you want me to untie Ava?” asked Jade, casting an amused glance at the
passenger seat of Ava's car.
“Mpffh!”
“Well, I think I'll keep her like this until we get to her place,” Summer
laughed, “I hope we see each other more often soon.”
“We'll see. I've got a lot to do in the near future. But thanks for taking good
care of Caitlyn,” Jade said and Caitlyn blushed. She had a box under her arm
that read: “Summers Selfbondage Box!”
“Jade ... I didn't use Summer's bondage stuff.”
“Go ahead. I haven't used it for ages. But ... don't get stuck again.”
“SUMMER!“
”All right girls, I need to get back home and see where Kim is,” Chloe said,
giving Summer another hug, ”I'll be in touch in a few days, bye!”
Chloe got into her old car and drove off, while Caitlyn and Jade also said
their goodbyes and got into different cars. Summer watched them go for a moment
before turning to Ava's car.
“Shall we have a go Ava?“
”Mmmpff.”
“Yeah, I'm tired too,” Summer said, getting into the driver's seat. She
readjusted the mirrors, but then paused and looked at Ava, who was sitting tied
up next to her and looking back questioningly.
“Ava ... thank you. I know that if you really wanted to, Greed could have freed
you at any time. I'm really glad we're friends again and ... thank you,” Summer
whispered, leaning in to hug Ava tightly. At first she didn't know what to do
with her bound arms, but in the end she laid her head on Summer's shoulder.
Summer released the hug and quickly wiped away a tear. She started the car and
fastened her seatbelt.
“And thank you for letting me take a little more.”
“Mmh mmh,” Ava mumbled into her gag and looked ahead as Summer was about to
drive off, but she didn't. Ava was about to ask what was going on when she saw
a figure in the darkness. Something briefly blinded Ava with golden light, she
blinked and when she could see again, the figure had disappeared.
“Fummer?” Ava asked worriedly and looked at her friend, whose cheeks suddenly
turned red. Her mouth opened slowly and she began to breathe audibly, like a
dog that was too warm. Suddenly, Summer hit the gas and Ava was pushed into the
seat by the acceleration of her car as they sped down the road, tires
screeching.
“FUMMER!”, Ava shrieked, trying in vain to reach a knot to get Summer to stop,
but still finding none. Instead, Greed stepped in and small hands crawled out
from under Ava's jacket and began to untie the unreachable knots. It was a long
and laborious process, but little by little Ava felt the ropes around her arms
loosen. While Ava was being thrown from left to right as they drove at
breakneck speed through Leon City, cheering Greed on to go faster, Ava didn't
realize that they weren't going to her home, but to the other side of town.
Greed, come on a little faster! Ava thought, just as her wrists were freed, and
looked up as Summer skidded to a stop. Without giving Ava a glance, she got out
and ran through barriers and down a flight of stairs. Only now did Ava realize
where they were.
Falenplaza Station? What's she doing here? Ava thought as she felt Greed free
her elbows from the ropes and she could finally move her arms again. She helped
Greed free the ropes from her upper body and released her gag.
“Quick Greed, the barrier tape is probably there for a reason. I hope what the
newspaper reported was exaggerated,” Ava muttered, freezing briefly as she
thought of the reports she had seen.
“Disgusting,” she commented, freeing her legs with Greed. She pulled the key
out of the ignition and jumped out of her car. She followed Summer down the
stairs and pulled out her cell phone to turn on the light. It was pitch black
and the darkness seemed to engulf Ava's small cone of light.
“Not our first rodeo, is it Greed?” mumbled Ava, and Greed agreed with a
squeeze of her body.
“Summer?! Can you hear me?” she called out as she reached the bottom of the
stairs. No answer, “Aww come on Summer.”
Ava took off her coat and placed it over a handrail. She walked deeper into the
ward and kept calling for her friend. Ava entered the waiting area between two
train tracks and stopped. Lamps illuminated the hall from the ceiling. Because
some of the lamps were broken, everything was bathed in twilight and Ava could
make out the figure of a woman. Ava was about to call for Summer when the light
from her cell phone fell on her and Ava stopped. Instead of her friend's pink
hair, she saw a sea of bright white hair. She looked down at a bundle tied up
with fine golden chains and Ava could only now recognize the pink she was
looking for there.
“Oh, another guest to play with. I guess one more lure won't hurt,” the woman
with the white hair said, turning to Ava. She was wearing a black latex catsuit
that had gold stripes accentuating her body. A black mask covered her face and
chains ran from a golden crystal that further adorned her body. Ava doubted
they were for protection, but she had to admit the woman looked stunning.
“Hey, um... thanks for capturing my friend. I'd like to take her and yeah ...
please step aside,” Ava prompted the woman, but her lips quirked into a smile
instead.
“Why don't you come here and I'll tie you up too?” the woman asked and again
Ava saw a flash of gold. Ava blinked several times when she saw it, and at the
same time she felt a squeeze from Greed, it felt different than usual.
What was that? Did Greed just do that too? Maybe I didn't feel it properly
because of the ropes? Ava thought about it and shook her head.
“I don't think so. I'll tell you one last time. Step away from Summer.”
“Mmmh,” the woman said instead, tilting her head slightly to the side, ”That
usually works. Oh well, I'll have a little fun too.”
The chain that ran down the woman's right arm grew longer and lay on the ground
beside her. Suddenly, she made a whipping motion, and the chain bridged the
vast distance between the two women. Ava, completely surprised by the attack,
only managed to dodge thanks to Greed and was thrown behind a pillar by him.
The chain hit a bench instead, wrapping around it, and Ava saw with horror that
the chains were pressing into the metal of the seat, deforming it.
“Greed!” shouted Ava curtly and her clothes immediately changed into her dark
outfit. A hood and mask covered her head to protect her identity. Greed grew
out over her arms and down her body, turning a dark purple color. Ava
immediately felt her partner supply her with extra power, and she sprinted
towards the white-haired attacker. Her cape flapped in the wind behind her as
she ran with supernatural speed.
If you have that much range, then I need to get into close combat! Ava thought,
smiling beneath her mask as the woman looked surprised and whipped her chain at
her in panic. Ava had already expected this and dropped to the ground. Feet
first, she skittered across the floor and the chain flew over her, splitting a
billboard down the middle. Ava took a quick glance over her shoulder to see the
destruction and clicked her tongue disapprovingly.
“If you're going to play hardball, I'm not going to show any consideration!”
she shouted in the woman's face. Ava jumped up from the ground while she was
still gliding and stood in front of the woman in a single bound. Ava took all
the momentum with her and punched the attacker in the chest. The woman hit with
such force that she was thrown over backwards and flew over Summer, skittering
five steps across the ground into the darkness.
“Oh, that was maybe a little too hard,” Ava muttered briefly, but she looked at
the billboard again, “Naaa it's fine.”
She knelt down next to Summer and said, “Summer, it's going to be okay, I'm
here!”
Ava brushed her hair out of her face, but she stumbled when she saw that
Summer's green eyes had a golden glow and she didn't seem to realize that Ava
was there to save her.
“Hey, wake up!” Ava shouted, waving her hand in front of Summer's eyes. She
looked around for help, but stopped when the woman reappeared from the shadows.
Ava was immediately back on her feet, ready for the next round, but froze when
she saw the chains begin to wrap around the woman's body, not to protect her,
but to bind her. Her legs were wrapped by them, cutting into the latex of her
catsuit. Out of nowhere, a latex armbinder manifested itself and bound her arms
behind her back, and a golden ball gag pressed into her mouth and latched
itself into her neck. Finally, she began to float a hand's breadth above the
floor and Ava's mouth fell open.
“Ok lady, I let you get away with the infinite whip chain, but is this some
kind of hocus pocus with special effects and invisible ropes?”
Ava could see the woman's eyes looking at her in amusement and the next moment,
without any movement or premonition, four golden chains shot towards her. Ava
managed to dodge again only thanks to Greed and jumped to the side. The chains
shattered the stone behind her and shards flew in all directions. Fortunately,
they missed Summer.
I have to end this quickly! Ava thought and leapt towards the woman with
renewed zeal, again she lashed out and WAMM!
Ava had put everything into this blow and for a brief moment she was sure she
had knocked the woman out, but she didn't budge. She wasn't thrown backwards
like before, nor did Ava see pain in her eyes, instead the chains around the
woman's body lit up briefly and she saw lust in her opponent's eyes.
“What the...?” Ava asked, but got no further as the chains the woman had just
used as a weapon came back to her mistress in a flash. Greed reacted too late
this time and Ava was hit in the back by them. She was pressed against the
woman's body and the chains wrapped around them both equally. Ava gasped as her
face was pressed against her opponent's breasts and her air was cut off
momentarily. The chains were tightened around them both so tightly that Ava
felt Greed cry out in pain. He protected her from the chains, but who knows for
how long if she didn't find a way to escape soon. The gag disappeared from the
woman's mouth, and she looked down at Ava with a sneer.
“Feel my mistress's love, feel her chains and surrender to them! Surrender,
little shapeshifter,” the woman murmured in Ava's ear and took a deep breath. The
chains suddenly became much tighter and Ava could no longer breathe. Her eyes
went black as she felt Greed suffering under the chains instead of her.
“Greed g... go away!” she gasped out before she lost consciousness, and
immediately her superhero outfit dissolved and a silver ring appeared around
her neck.
When Vale sensed that Ava was no longer moving, she released her chains and
simply let the heroine fall to the floor. Her shackles dissolved into thin air
like the ball gag and the chains snaked up her body, wrapping around her as
before. Vale raised her hand to her chest where Ava's first blow had struck her
and bit her lower lip.
“What a lovely pain,” she murmured, looking up as her partner Tea stepped out
of the shadows of the tunnel. She looked down at Summer with hatred and then at
Ava, who was lying at her feet.
“I knew she'd go straight for Ava. I didn't expect anything else. But this
costume...” Tea pondered, bending down to examine the hoop around Ava's neck,
”No visible lock, link or hinge.”
“Believe me, I was as surprised as you were,” Vale said, kicking Ava's body.
She skidded across the floor and came to a stop next to Summer.
“Watch it!”
“Oh, shut up. Next time you can get hit by her.”
“Don't act like you didn't like it,” Tea countered and they both gave each
other a nasty look until Vale clicked her tongue and walked over to Summer and
Ava. She took Summer's phone out of her pocket and raised her hands over the
two women. The chains around Summer and around Vale's body liquefied and dripped
onto Ava and Summer. Their bodies became covered in the liquid metal and began
to turn into latex as it continued to grow and compress their bodies into
balls.
Except for the incident at the party, this had been a great day for Caitlyn.
She had spent a lot of time with her dearest Jade and was grateful that her
friends had so willingly accepted her into their midst. Even if Ava was perhaps
a little grumpy. Caitlyn got out of her car with a box from Summer's move and
entered her home.
“Great alone again,” she muttered disappointedly when she saw a note from her
brother. He was with friends while her father was away on business again. She
hung up her jacket and went up the stairs to her room. Once there, she put
Summer's box in her closet. The thick sweater ended up in the corner with her
pants. Instead, she put on a pair of sports leggings and lay down on her bed.
“What a day.”
She closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep when her head spoke up.
Hey ... what's in Summer's box anyway.
I don't know, I'll have a look tomorrow.
But ... what if you looked inside now?
Caitlyn bit her lower lip. After all, she was home alone at the moment and
could experiment a little undisturbed. She swung out of her bed and took
Summer's box under her arm.
“Let's see what Summer packed for me,” she said and opened the box. Inside was
a pink latex leotard straitjacket, several belts and straps, a short leg tie
that could bind her lower legs together and a panel gag.
“A straitjacket? How can this be for self-bondage?” she asked aloud, lifting
the jacket out of the box. A slip of paper fell out of it, with a description
of how she could tie herself up in it. Caitlyn studied it briefly and nodded.
“This should be fun, but I think I'll skip the leg binder. But first...”
Caitlyn took off her shirt and her bra. They landed on her sweater, and the
leggings and her underwear followed. She picked up her black latex catsuit from
C&T and slipped effortlessly into the magical material. The latex clung to
her body like a second skin, so that she could even see her belly button. Her
hands, dipped in latex, stroked it and it gave her a tingling sensation in her
stomach. She smiled briefly and turned back to the straitjacket. Pink wasn't
exactly her color, but she still hoped it would look extremely sexy. She tucked
her legs into the back opening and pulled the leotard up her hips. With some
effort, she slipped the jacket over her shoulders and her arms slipped into the
sleeves.
“Now it would help to be a cheerleader,” Caitlyn muttered, turning awkwardly
and searching for the zipper in the small of her back with her latex-encased
hands. It was quite wide and with some effort she managed to pull it up, step
by step. When she reached the top, the straitjacket sucked tight on her body,
squeezing her arms and breasts.
“Summer's probably a bit more petite than me,” Caitlyn said thoughtfully,
taking the straps off the bed. She put her head into the matching opening and
pulled the straps through her crotch. Finally, she connected the two ends of
the straps with a simple clip fastener. There were two padded rings in her back
through which she put her arms. The rings were now tight around her upper arms.
“Now the long strap through the front loop,” Caitlyn read off the instructions
and fed the long strap that was at one end of the straitjacket through the
loop. She passed her other hand through as well and began to fumble the strap
through the turnbuckle. This task took some patience, and Caitlyn grew
increasingly frustrated until she finally managed it and breathed a sigh of
relief.
“Almost done.”
She walked to her bedroom door and jammed the long strap in the door. She
carefully walked back to her bed and felt the belt tighten. The next moment,
her arms were pulled tighter around her body with every step she took. The
turnbuckle gave her a little resistance and finally her hands were behind her
back and she was unable to stop the embrace. She went back to the door and
released the belt.
“Now the last step!” she announced expectantly and placed her foot in a loop on
the floor. She bent backwards and the loop in front of her upper body tightened
around her arms. Her chest suddenly became very warm and she bit her lip in
anticipation. Caitlyn almost stumbled to her mirror when she forgot about the
loop her feet were in, but she just managed to stop herself from falling. There
she stood. Trapped in pink latex from the neck down, she quickly licked her
mouth as drool almost ran down her chin. She swallowed.
“Damn Summer, why do you always have the best toys?” asked Caitlyn out loud and
she rolled over. She threw herself onto her bed and struggled against the
embrace of the straitjacket. A scenario played out in her head of being thrown
into a padded cell and the evil Jade throwing the key into hydrochloric acid if
she didn't manage to escape in 15 minutes. Quite a difficult undertaking, but
for Caitlyn a piece of cake! She rolled around on her bed, letting off steam,
but the jacket was stuck and wouldn't budge.
“Fuck, I should have used the leg binder!” Caitlyn cursed with pleasure and
shook her head. She was quickly getting warm from fighting against the jacket
and her hair was sticking to her face from the sweat and tickling her. She was
just about to come to the climax of her fantasy when her cell phone rang and she
was blindsided.
“Oh come on,” Caitlyn mumbled, glancing at her bedside table. Summer was
calling her.
“At this unholy hour?” Caitlyn asked, kneeling down next to her nightstand. She
answered the call with her nose.
“Hey Summer, what's up?” Caitlyn asked, trying to suppress her impatience. At
first she heard nothing. Then, “Hello little policewoman...”
Caitlyn's blood froze in her veins when she heard the voice of the woman who
had made sure she was stuck in self-bondage months ago and left her hanging
until Celine happened to visit.
“I am sorry to say that you ignored my warning and met with my mistress. So I
must assume that you want to steal her from me,” said the woman on the other
end.
“Lady, I don't even know who you mean! I'm not stealing anyone!” Caitlyn
defended herself and heard an amused but cold laugh on the other end.
“That was the worst lie I've ever heard! I saw you holding hands with my
burglar and you dare to deny it?”
“I...” Caitlyn shook her head in confusion.
She means Jade?
"I think there's been a misunderstanding. If we could talk, then...”
“Shut up! I'm not here to hear more of your lies. I just called to tell you
that if you take my mistress, I'll take your friends,” the woman said and
Caitlyn's cell phone vibrated as she received a picture. Caitlyn laboriously
opened it and froze. Ava and Summer were both trapped in latex balls. Their
bodies were up to their necks in the golden orbs, and while Summer smiled
nervously, Ava looked seriously at the camera.
"If you want to see them again, come to Falenplaza Station. Alone! And if
I were you, I'd hurry. Time is ticking and I've heard that latex isn't exactly
breathable. Let's see who gives up first."
Caitlyn received another image and was horrified to see that Ava and Summer's
heads were encased in latex.
“Let them go!” Caitlyn shouted. All that came back was a low laugh and the
agonized and muffled cries of her friends gasping for breath.
“Tikk tack, little policewoman,” laughed the stranger and hung up. The toot of
her cell phone was like the tap of a hammer on a coffin nail. Caitlyn swallowed
her fear and struggled against the straitjacket with renewed vigor, this time
intending to rip it from her body, but the latex was too strong.
“How do I get out of here? Where are the damn instructions!” Caitlyn screamed
in frustration and looked around, but the instructions had vanished from the
face of the earth.
“The AAAAH! It's taking too long! How do I...?” Caitlyn fell silent as she
realized the panic growing inside her, “Stop, Caitlyn calm down. Think, I could
... she looked to her closet. Behind the door was her Magicalgirl outfit she
had been given by Celine, and not without reason.
“Come on, magic, don't let me down!” muttered Caitlyn, closing her eyes. She
concentrated on the power inside her and murmured: “Free me from my shackles!”
Nothing happened. Caitlyn opened one of her eyes and was disappointed to see
that none of the straps had loosened even a little.
“Okay, again!” said Caitlyn, starting to concentrate once more. She opened her
mouth to work her magic again, but suddenly something flew into it. She
wrenched her eyes open in horror and saw that the panel gag from Summer's box
had taken on a life of its own, effectively gagging her.
Oh no. Caitlyn thought and looked at the box. Out of it crawled the belts like
slugs, and the legbinder flew out of it, knocking Caitlyn over. It caught her
legs as Caitlyn hit the ground hard and tightened around her lower legs. The
belts took advantage of her sudden weakness and pounced on her. They wrapped around
Caitlyn's thighs, and additionally around her arms, which had so far only been
caught by the strap. They pressed into the latex and her body and pulled tight.
Caitlyn rolled around on the floor, trying to somehow free herself from the
restraints, but it was even more hopeless than before. She didn't need to talk
to cast spells, but she believed it helped her to cast the right spell.
Too bad it backfired this time. She annoyed herself.
What am I going to do now? I still have to get out of here! Another spell?
Better not, I'll be blind and hanging from the ceiling. Call for help?
Caitlyn looked up at her bedside table and took a deep breath. She straightened
up and crawled on her knees to her cell phone. With her nose, she navigated to
her contacts and stopped at C. There were only three names and she pressed
dial. Relieved, she closed her eyes and rested her head on the bedside table.
Please pick up, Celine. Caitlyn prayed and finally
the waiting tone disappeared.
“MMMPFFFF!mmhmh MMMpffff!” Caitlyn yelled into her
cell phone.
“Please what?” the drowsy voice came back through
the phone and Caitlyn froze. That wasn't Celine's voice, but she took what she
could.
“Caitlyn, if this is supposed to be some kind of
prank, I've had better ones at ... two in the morning,” Cass said sleepily.
“MMMffp! MMh!”
“Wait ... you're gagged?”
“Mmmh.”
“Haaaaaaaaaaa,” Cass groaned, ”are you stuck again,
you idiot?”
Caitlyn fell silent and a tear rolled down her
face.
“I'm coming ... and it better be an absolute emergency.”
Cass sat in her car and had her fingers intertwined
with each other, under her chin. Only her index fingers were pressing on her
mouth and pointing under her nose as she tried to understand what Caitlyn was
up to and, more importantly, in what kind of outfit. She opened her mouth
several times only to close it again as she watched Caitlyn in the rearview
mirror trying in vain to open the car door.
“Cass, get that stupid child safety lock off!”
Caitlyn cursed, but Cass didn't even think about it.
“So ... let me get this straight. First I free you
from your own shackles, which you've once again failed to get out of, and
instead of allowing me to leave, you force me to drive to Falenplaza Station
while you put on this stupid costume on my back seat? And you expect me to
believe that it's an emergency, but you still won't tell me what's going on?”
Cass summarized.
“Well... yeah?” mumbled Caitlyn, giving up tugging
at the door and looking embarrassedly at the costume she'd gotten from Celine.
After receiving the turquoise Magicalgirl costume, she had only worn it once
briefly and then taken it off again quickly. The skirt was far too short and
exposed her bottom. What's more, her breasts were well contained in the top
part of the dress, but it had an exaggerated neckline and Caitlyn thought her
breasts might pop out of it. The slightly darker shoes and opera gloves shone
even in the twilight of the flickering streetlights and she doubted the
over-the-knee stockings did anything to make her body look less attractive. The
headband that tamed her long black hair and the little blue earrings that were
supposed to protect her from hypnosis were the only two things she was wearing
that didn't make her blush. The witch had said that the outfit might help her concentrate
while casting spells, but somehow Caitlyn doubted that she could think of
anything other than how embarrassed she was.
“Having a really hard time not just throwing you in
the river right now,” Cass said, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
“Cass, if I could tell you, I would, but ... there
are horrible things happening in this town right now and some of them are very
hard to explain.”
“And the policewoman in the revealing Magicalgirl
outfit has to protect me from these horrible things? Don't make a bigger fool
of yourself than you already are.”
“Cass please ... my friends are in danger.”
“What kind of danger?”
“The ... I can't tell you about kind ...”
“You are ...”
Cass fell silent and exhaled deeply.
“I'll wait an hour,” she mumbled and unlocked the
child safety lock. Caitlyn got out immediately and was about to run down the
stairs of the subway station when Cass called after her, “Aren't you forgetting
something?”
She waved a stick around with a crescent moon
attached to the tip, and Caitlyn ran back and grabbed her wand.
“Thanks,” Caitlyn muttered, and with a bright red
head, she headed for the stairs and got over the barrier tape. Cass glared
after her for a while longer, drumming on her steering wheel.
“Danger, mmmh?” she whispered, looking down at her
passenger seat where her bag and her weapons of choice lay.
“Pretty dark here...” muttered Caitlyn, looking
doubtfully at the tip of her wand, ‘Light?’ she asked hesitantly and sure
enough, her wand lit up slightly. It wasn't nearly enough to light up the ward,
but at least she wasn't stepping in any more garbage. Still, she breathed in
and out a little disappointed.
“I should have practiced... maybe I can use the
staff as a club too?” whispered Caitlyn, running a gloved finger along the
moon. It was surprisingly sharp.
“Maybe as an axe,” she concluded, seeing out of the
corner of her eye a switched-off escalator leading to the tracks. Caitlyn could
see a faint light shining from there and decided to investigate the source. The
clack, clack, clack, of her heels on the metal of the escalator echoed off the
walls and she gripped her staff tighter.
Come on, that's what you're trained for, isn't it?
Minus magic and minus running around like an idiot. Caitlyn thought as she
reached the bottom of the escalator and looked around. The lights above her
flickered, casting ghostly shadows on the platform, and at the end she saw a
woman standing in a wide red dress. She had a mask on and instead of long white
hair, shoulder-length brown. Nevertheless, Caitlyn decided to exercise caution.
This woman wasn't waiting here for nothing.
“I'm here! Let my friends go!” Caitlyn shouted, but
all she got was a mocking and dark laugh that seemed unnatural and strange.
“I'm sorry, Caitlyn, but your friends will have to
wait,” the woman shouted.
“Where's the woman who called me?”
"My partner called you, but she has her hands
full with your friends and asked me to cover for her. She wants me to teach you
a lesson instead of her, and maybe afterward I'll tell you where to find her,”
the woman said, pulling something shiny out from behind her back and twirling
it around its own axis until it touched her lips. Only now did Caitlyn see that
it was a clarinet, and she gasped, startled.
“It was you on the train!”
“Correct,” the woman said softly and blew into her
instrument. A soothing melody rang out, caressing Caitlyn's ears and inviting
her to come closer, even surrender, but she frowned.
“Yeah, it's not going to work,” she muttered,
raising her wand, which brought panic to her opponent's face, ”Um... fireball?”
A tennis ball sized fire appeared at the tip of her
wand, flew three steps towards the woman in red and fell to the ground, where
the spell popped and vanished into thin air.
“Fuck.”
“Ha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” the woman started
laughing, seemingly unable to contain herself, ”Was that it? I have to admit, I
was scared for a second when you showed no reaction to my song, but that?
HAHAHA. Just too delicious. Well, haaaaa. If you won't follow my music, it'll
be the pain I'll inflict on you!”
Once again, she held the clarinet to her lips and
began to play. Caitlyn couldn't believe her eyes as musical notes came out of
her, paused in the air for a brief moment, and then shot in her direction.
Caitlyn was only able to jump aside at the last moment because of her instincts
and came to a stop behind a crushed bench. A note bounced against the metal and
the fixture squeaked in agony. Another note bounced against it and the bench
was torn from its fastening. Caitlyn just managed to bend under it and it flew
over her by a hair's breadth.
“Oh come on!” Caitlyn cursed, rolling over the dirt
as another note dug into the ground beside her and the stone gave way under its
force.
I need protection! She thought to herself and
raised her wand.
“MIST!” she shouted and this time it worked just as
she had imagined. A thick soup of mist flowed out of her wand and spread
throughout the ward at lightning speed. Notes shot past to the left and right
of her.
“Ohoooo you can do a little magic after all. Really
interesting. Clever of you, but you won't see your friends again like that,”
the woman laughed and seemed to pause her playing.
I have to disarm her, but how? Caitlyn thought and
looked down at her wand, which was still billowing mist.
“Maybe?”
Caitlyn held it in the air and shouted, “ROPE!”
She felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her as
ropes suddenly rained down from the ceiling all over the hall.
“I guess that was my last spell for the day,” she
muttered shakily, forcing herself to step out of her cover with a bundle of
ropes in her free hand. She couldn't see the woman, but she knew roughly where
she stood.
Caitlyn took off running, her footsteps holding
through the fog. Again the woman played music and notes shot past her. A shadow
appeared in front of Caitlyn and she threw the ropes at it. She broke through
the wall of fog and could just see the woman dodge the ropes while Caitlyn
herself was still a good four steps away from her target. A smile played around
the woman's lips as she started her clarinet again.
“Too slow, Caitlyn,” the woman said, and a note
came shooting out of her weapon. In a flash, Caitlyn uncoiled and used the
momentum of the roll to swing her wand at the woman. The woman pirouetted to
the side, dodging Caitlyn's attack and playing another note. She hit Caitlyn
flat on the chest and flung her backwards back into the mist. The impact had
been so strong that it knocked the air out of her and she let go of her wand.
It clattered across the stone beside her and came to rest in a pile of rope.
“That was fun. Let's do it again when we get a
chance,” the woman said as Caitlyn rolled over onto her stomach and tried to
stand up, her body shaking. Breathing heavily, she straightened up and raised
her fists.
“I ... am ... not done ... with you!” she clenched
through her teeth.
“Oh ... but I am with you.”
She put her lips to her instrument and began to
play. Caitlyn feared she was about to fall victim to the notes again, but
instead she saw movement out of the corner of her eye and before she could
react, one of the ropes had wrapped itself around her leg.
“What?” Caitlyn asked in horror, looking up at the
woman, ”ROPES DON'T HAVE EARS!”
The woman just grinned widely as ropes wrapped
around her arms like snakes and yanked her backwards. More leapt out of the
mist and coiled around her waist. Caitlyn tried to resist their grip, but her
overuse of her magic had left her too weakened and she could do nothing but
watch as the ropes tightened. The woman commanded the ropes to steal Caitlyn's
wand, and they tossed it carelessly onto the railroad tracks. A rope wrapped
around her shoulders and pulled her down to the ground, forcing her to kneel.
Her arms were pinned behind her back and tied in a tight boxtie. The ropes
tangled around her waist and pushed deep into her body. The ropes on her legs
bound her in a frogtie and joined together. She could now neither stretch nor
spread her legs. Finally, she felt a rope hook into her back and run up to the
ceiling, where it tightened and stretched. Only now did the woman stop playing
music and she looked down at Caitlyn, who was breathing heavily and returned
her gaze. Sheer anger showed in her eyes.
“Awww, is this not what you had in mind, Caitlyn?
I'm really very sorry, dear, but you never had a chance and unfortunately you
haven't amused me enough yet...” the woman whispered tenderly and put her
clarinet back to her lips.
Cass had put on her black robe, which allowed her
to sneak through the night unseen. Not that she needed to hide from anyone. Probably.
She crept down the stairs to Falenplaza Station, narrowing her eyes when she
saw a glimmer of light in the distance, coming from the railroad tracks. As
Cass approached, she heard music and with each note played, a woman screamed
out.
“Is that Caitlyn?” Cass asked herself, walking
quietly down the stairs instead of the escalators so as not to make a sound.
When she reached the bottom, she couldn't believe her eyes. A woman in a sexy
red wedding dress was standing over Caitlyn, playing a clarinet. Notes shot out
of it and hit Caitlyn like she was in a cartoon.
“What the ...”
The woman with the clarinet stopped playing and
looked around. Cass ducked deeper into the shadows, praying that this ... this
witch hadn't seen her.
“Mh, seems like I just imagined it. Ready for the
next round?”
“Fuck ... you,” Caitlyn spat back at her.
“Yeah, maybe later,” the woman said and started
playing again. Immediately the hall was filled with Caitlyn's screams again,
and Cass felt a chill run down her neck. Shaking with horror, she stood up and
pulled out a throwing star. She took a quick aim and threw it towards the
woman. The throwing star hit the clarinet and the woman dropped the instrument
in shock, shattering it into a thousand pieces.
“Who dares...” the woman screamed, but fell silent
when she saw no one, ”Stay where you are, bitch!”
The woman walked past Caitlyn, pulling at her hair
as she passed.
“Who's there! Show yourself!” the woman shouted,
but she didn't get the response she expected. More throwing stars flew at her
from the shadows and one injured the woman's arm and cheek.
“Aahh! You little...” the woman said, holding her
cheek. Blood dripped down her hand and she looked around angrily. Too late, she
heard a footstep behind her and Cass took advantage of the woman's carelessness
and hit her with a tonfa. The woman groaned loudly and immediately fell over.
“Good night,” Cass mumbled and walked over to
Caitlyn. She bent down to her face and lifted her head rudely.
“Now can you explain to me what kind of danger this
is?” she asked rudely and Caitlyn nodded weakly, ”Good.”
Cass cut Caitlyn free and leaned her against a
pillar.
“You said your friends were in danger? Where are
they supposed to be?” asked Cass.
“Here,” said a female voice and Cass immediately
raised her tonfa towards the stairs. At the bottom of it stood a woman dressed
in black latex and next to her were two golden orbs from which Summer and Ava
were peering. They looked exhausted and tired, but unharmed.
“I have no quarrel with you,” the woman said, but
Cass didn't engage, pointing her tonfa in the direction of the unconscious
woman on the floor.
“I don't suppose you mean yet,” Cass countered,
kicking the shoulder of the woman on the ground, ”You can take these with you
if you leave these two here.”
“Deal,” the woman in black and gold said. The balls
that held Ava and Summer captive unraveled and turned into chains. They snaked
their way halfway across the station to the unconscious woman, grabbed her and
lifted her up. Without another word, the unknown women left the subway station,
leaving Cass with Caitlyn, Summer and Ava.
