As soon as Frank left, Riff and the girls rushed to my side. "Sweetheart, what happened?" Magenta removed the gag from my mouth. "Did he hurt you? Did he try to sleep with you again? Has he made your injuries worse?" "One question at a time, my dearest sister. Daphne needs some time to process this overwhelming situation. She's likely very upset and can't handle a lot of questions right now." "It's okay Riff I don't mind. I know you're all worried." "Very well. Take your time." "I was getting ready to leave out the door when I found out it was locked. Frank was there and knew I was trying to escape. He licked the door because he knew I'd be making an attempt eventually. He also knew I hadn't bathed yet today. So he carried me up here. He told me to take off my clothes, get in the tub, and bathe. I told him I didn't want to, but he said if I didn't take them off, he would do it for me, drag me in the bathroom, and bathe me himself. I didn't like the alternative, so I did as I was told." Riff looked disgusted, and gave me a sympathetic look. Columbia looked horrified. Magenta looked pissed. I could tell she was ready to either punch Frank, or claw his eyes out. "To make matters worse, I noticed he wasn't leaving the room. When I asked him why he wasn't leaving and that I was more than capable of bathing myself, he told me it was for my safety. He said he didn't want to take any chances on me hurting myself, so he had no problem watching over me. I knew what the real reason was. I didn't make any eye contact the whole time." "But why did he bind you to the bed?" Columbia seemed like she really wanted to know how this happened, so I decided to skip over the rest of the minor details. "After I got dressed Frank told me that under normal circumstances I would've been taken to the bedroom downstairs, but Rocky was down there. He said he didn't trust us alone in the same room together because he found us alone in the girls' room. He said he didn't trust anyone alone with him. I told Frank it's because he made him that way. I said Rocky liked being alone with me because I was nice to him, unlike Frank who's an asshole all the time. I told him I'd seen how he treats people, and I thought he was sick for creating Rocky to use as a sexual plaything. That's when he grabbed the ropes and restraints and tied me to the bed." I could tell Magenta was about to explode. She was barely keeping it together.

"That bastard. Did he ever hit you or try to sleep with you?" "No, thank God. After he tied me up, he called you in here. I'm thankful for the small favors." Magenta nodded. "I'm surprised Master didn't whip you. That kind of back talk would have certainly been worthy of a whipping." Magenta could tell that unsettled me, and she glared at Riff. He hung his head down, and gave me an apologetic look for what he said. "Maybe he thought this was a more fitting punishment. When Eddie and I were together, I noticed Frankie only used the whip on him a few times. I guess it depends on his mood," Columbia said. "Well, when I was trying to fight Frank, said there was no use fighting him. He said it wasn't the first time he's bound someone. He's a lot stronger than he looks. Has he done this before?" Columbia nodded. "Yeah other than Rocky, Frankie would have to tie up Eddie a lot. As you know, he doesn't like to share his playmates. So whenever he knew Eddie was trying to be with me, he would bind him up in his bedroom and make him spend the night with him, wether Eddie wanted to or not." I started to panic as I remembered that I would be spending the night with Frank. "Oh no, that's right. Frank is coming back after you guys leave and I have to spend the night with him. What am I gonna do? What if something happens?" I started crying, and Magenta comforted me. "We're so sorry about what happened. Frank is usually so likable to everyone that aside from Eddie and Columbia, no one has tried to leave. We didn't know he would lock the door and be waiting there for you. We should have known better." "It's okay Magenta. I don't blame you for staying out of sight either. Frank might have caught on that you tried to help me if you didn't hide, and then we'd all be in trouble." The three of them nodded in agreement. "Can you help me out? I have to go to the bathroom." They undid the binds and restraints and I went into the bathroom.

When I got to the bathroom, I looked in the mirror. I looked clean but I could tell how tired I was. I looked like I hadn't slept in days. I don't think I was going to sleep well tonight, that's for sure. I sat down on the toilet and relieved myself. Once I finished up in the bathroom, I stretched for a bit. Being bound like that made me really stiff. I went back in the bedroom and they tied me back in the bed. I wasn't mad at them. I knew they had no choice but to do as they were told. To my dismay, Magenta looked at the clock and saw it was getting late. "We should get going. I have to make dinner." "But you can't go yet. I don't want to be alone with Frank! Please don't leave me, please!" I started crying again. "Darling, I'm sorry, but we have to go. You know how Frank gets. Listen to me, sweetheart. Whatever happens tonight you have us to help you through it. It's just for tonight, and tomorrow you'll be sleeping in our room again. We're always here for you. You can tell us what happened tomorrow, okay?" I nodded. "Good. Now try to calm down. It may not be so bad. Frank can be nice sometimes. It's better if you do as he says." Magenta put the gag back in and kissed my forehead. "See you tomorrow. It will be alright." Riff left behind Magenta. "Please be careful," he said. "Good luck," Columbia said as she walked out the door. Once they left, I felt helpless. I knew Frank would be back soon, and all I could do was wait for him.
