Chapter 4
LISSA POV
Everything was dark, I wasn't sure quite what happened, or why I felt like this. Slowly however I began to experience feelings returning to me, I was aware of a grogginess and a strange sickly feeling in my mouth, my eyes remained heavy, even as I tried to open them. A strange sweet smell lingered in my nostrils. Slowly I allowed my eyes to open, but it hardly helped.
I was in a strangely bland room, devoid of furniture it seemed, the only things that stood out was a pair of pillars on either side of the door. I was seated on a chair in roughly the middle of the room. Well, seated was the wrong word, as I soon realized.
Trying to stand, to move, I found that I was in fact tied to the chair, several lengths of incredibly strong and rough white ropes secured my ankles to the legs of each chair, more was tied below my knees and around my thighs, preventing my legs from moving.
More ropes bound my wrists behind my back and to the back of the chair, with even more around my stomach to secure it to the back of the chair. I also had ropes above and below my breasts to secure my torso to the back of the chair even more firmly.
'What is this, what is going on? How did I get here, where is here...what…?' I thought frantically.
But then I realized that things were worse than I thought; in various ways.
On a lighter level, I realized something that was embarrassing, but not life-threatening. What I realized was my outfit, nothing more than a pair of simple pink panties and a light red tank-top with a rose coloured logo on it.
On a much more serious level, I suddenly realized the severity of my situation, this was no prank I recalled what happened.
I had been in my room, getting dressed for the day, had only managed to pull on these clothes, before I heard Jill's talk becoming muffled, before I could turn around I was grabbed and a cloth of some sort, bearing the same smell that still lingered in my nostrils, was clamped over my mouth and nose.
Despite my struggles I had passed out, only now waking up.
'God, what...I've been kidnapped, what, what about Jill?' I wondered. 'What happened to her, is she…?'
I looked around frantically, trying to struggle free, but there was no give in the ropes.
In desperation I screamed. "HMMMMMMMLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!"
My eyes widened in horror as I realized I was gag. A metal bar had been bound to my mouth, straps attached to it fastened tightly behind my head, acting like a bit which prevented me from making any intelligible speech.
I stopped struggling, tensing up, afraid, wondering what was happening. I thought back desperately, hoping that I could figure out anything about who could be responsible for this.
'Got to remember, got to remember...' I cast my mind back; but apart from what I already remembered, nothing else could be gleaned from my memories.
I shook my head, no good, this wasn't going to help. I remembered Jill and looked around in a panic, what had happened to her, was she safe. My heart sank when I saw this wasn't this case. I finally spotted Jill, she had been kidnapped too. Off to my left, in another chair, bound and gagged in the exact same way as I was. She too was awake and struggling fearfully.
"HMLP, HMLP! FHMMHNM, HMLP HF!" She was screaming in desperation.
I tried to get her attention. "Jnll!"
She turned her head to me, eyes wide with fear. I was relieved for her sake at least, that she wasn't attired the way I was. She at least had a pair of simple black pants and a red short sleeved T-shirt with a fanged smiley face logo on it, as well as simple white socks and white sneakers.
"Lnffh, nhh, nhh'rm...whht hrm wm...!?" She cried out, tears in her eyes.
I would have bit my lip, had I not been gagged. "N dhn't, Hm'm fhrrn, Hm…"
Jill shook her head in dismay, I bowed my head. We couldn't really communicate like this; also I had no idea what was going on, this was just increasing her fear, I could see that, my own fear was growing too.
Before either of us could try to communicate further the door opened and two figures entered. I looked up frantically, but I could not make out their features, they wore clothing that concealed them, yet it was clear to me that they were in fact the kidnappers.
They did not say anything at first, didn't even approach us. Glaring I tried to protest, despite my words being mangled by the gag.
"WHH HRM NHH, WHHT DH NHH WHNT!?"
One of them stepped up and cupped my face, forcing me to look up at them, their voice identifying themselves as a male.
"That will do Princess, I'd advise you to play along, or...we'll have to make an, example of the two of you." He remarked darkly. "Starting with...her."
My eyes widened when I saw the other captor holding a knife to Jill's throat. "NHHH!"
"WHHT, NH, PLMHFM!" Jill cried out in terror.
The figure holding the knife spoke, revealing themselves as female. "Think carefully...we'll be back, this is your only warning."
With that they both turned and left the room. Jill looked over at me, whimpering. I shook my head, I couldn't think of anything, we were stuck, worse, I couldn't see any way out of this. Except for one thing.
I realized our only hope. 'Rose, oh Rose, I'm sorry, for everything, just, please...'
I could only pray that somehow, the bond between Rose and myself would work the way I wanted it to and lead her to be able to save them.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
