An Education: The New Teacher

Postby KP Presents » Mon Aug 06, 2012 2:59 am

As I look in the mirror, making sure the knot on my tie is just perfectly placed, I realise that this school year is going to be very different from last year - or indeed, any year before. The reason for that is because I am a very different person - everything that has happened since June has seen to that.

Even my look is different - I’ve had my hair dyed blonde for years now, ever since I demanded of my mother that she allowed me to look like Hannah Montana. Now, however, it is the natural dark colour I used to have. After the first break-in, something inside me wanted to just be myself - and look where that led to.

As I shake the knot on the tie one last time, I look at myself in the mirror. “Alicia Bowden,” I said to myself, “I hope your friends are going to understand what you’re going to do today.”

My friends - my hangers-on, more like. Ever since I started at that school, the girls who have been with me have been there in the main for one reason - my name and status as the granddaughter of Lord Holderness. I used that connection to make myself popular, and to put those down who I thought were inferior - which goes to show how much I know, because one of them turned out to be one of the bravest girls I know.

The sad thing is I was an absolute beast to her for most of last year - Jennifer Alison Craig. Even at the end of the year, when her house was broken into by the same gang who had tied all of us up, and she was the centre of attention, I didn’t walk up and commiserate with her. It seemed wrong - I had broken down in tears at the first sight of the rope, despite Mum holding me and reassuring me it was going to be all right, and by all I heard she and her sister had just taken it?

And then, before school broke up, my pen friend Heidi arrived from the US. We had first started writing to each other five years ago, as part of one of those school “hand across the world” things, and Grandma had offered to pay for her to stay with me for her long summer holiday. She was different from what I’d expected - smaller, slimmer, and with very short blonde hair. My roots had started to show by then, but by the time my holiday started my hair had grown out and was black again.

Then Grandma offered to let both of us, as well as my cousin Suzie, stay with them at Holderness Manor for a few weeks. Well, Heidi jumped at the chance of a stay at a real country house, so we all decamped to there. Two days later, Grandma told me an old friend was bringing her granddaughters, and who should walk into the old play room? Jenny Craig and her little sister, Cassie.
Now don’t get me wrong - I may not have liked her, but I did not want to let that spoil the day, especially as Suzie and Cassie seemed to hit it off. But what happened - my goodness. First Cassie showed Suzie how they had been tied up by another gang who had held them hostage - Grandma had mentioned it at breakfast - then Heidi revealed that she knew how to tie someone up, and offered to tie Jenny up after she had secured her sister.

Well, I watched over my book, but eventually I had to leave - it was bringing back too many memories, and I was getting hungry. I went downstairs to see Grandma, and walked slap bang into two masked men tying her and her friend up.

I have to admit, looking back, that they were two of the most polite men I have ere met, even if their heads were covered by woollen masks. One of them, the smaller one, took me back to the playroom, saying he was going to make sure we stayed out of the way, but when he walked in he saw that Heidi had been tied up tightly by the Craigs, and they thought it was a game! There was me, with a man I knew had a gun in the pocket of his leather jacket, and they just smiled. Cassie even clapped her hands!

Well, it just descended into a maelstrom for me, as the man told Jenny - Jenny to tie me up as they had Heidi, while he took care of the younger kids. I had to endure the girl I had taunted all year binding my hands, arms, legs - everything, and then making me lie on my stomach as my feet were pulled back until I could touch them! Then her little sister made the man stuff our mouths, cover our lips with tape, then tie a scarf over all that so that we could not move our heads, never mind our bodies!! I was - well, not quite incandescent, but I could not understand what was happening. The memories of that first night came flooding back, and I started crying when he left us in the room. I think Jenny and Cassie saw I was upset, because they all started trying to sing, and I pretended to join in, but even though I was planning revenge.

Well, we were freed, and they went on their way, but not before our grandmothers said we should spend more time together during the summer. I kept cool and calm, and laid my plans. Each morning I got Heidi, who really was skilled, to teach me how to tie up Suzie in different ways. She didn’t seem to mind, even when Heidi thought I was a bit rough on her. I got better at it every day, and when Heidi asked why I told her I wanted to play a trick on Jenny at some point - which was half right.

Well, one night she came with her parents to dinner, and Suzie said we should make it a formal one. Cassie and Jenny came in their nice bridesmaids’ dresses, and we ate and drank until Granny said we should go to the playroom. As I had guessed, Jenny and Cassie went and got themselves tied up, and I issued a challenge, having prompted Heidi earlier in the day - Jenny ties her up, I tie Jenny up, and we see who gets free first.

It worked better than I had planned, as Heidi and Jenny looked up at me from the floor, unable to move and speak. I caught Cassie and Suzie, made sure they could not interfere, and then just let rip.

I shudder as I look at myself now, remembering some of the things that I said that night. It was as if all my fears and anger over the previous three months just poured out, as I screamed, raged and ranted at all four of them. I had no idea how loud I was, what I was saying - until Grandma told me to stop. I turned and looked at her, and after that the next thing I remember is me sobbing on my knees as she held me tightly.

It felt as if a wave of clean water had washed over me when I finished, and Grandma made me apologise to Jenny and confront my fears at the same time - by tying me as she was, gagging me, and letting us vent at each other. Whether it was because it was Grandma, or because I had no hate left, we found it incredibly good fun, and from that point on we began to become friends. By the time we had an amazing family day together last week - all of us - I had realised an important lesson my big sister Angela had been trying to teach me - to relax and have fun is more important than anything.

So here I am, pulling on the old school jacket, looking forward to seeing Jenny and been her friend rather than her enemy - and as for my other ‘friends’ they will have to deal with it or stop hanging around with me. Smiling, I went downstairs to where Mum, Dad and Angela were sitting round the breakfast table.

“Looking forward to a new year, squirt,” Angela said with a smile. She was starting at sixth form tomorrow, so she was still in her pyjamas as she ate her breakfast.

“Yeah, I am,” I said as Mum handed me a bowl and the milk, and I poured some corn flakes in. “And I’m going to take your lesson to heart - let’s see who my real friends are.

“Good for you,” Angela said with a smile. “Listen - Suzie is going to have to come round here after school today for a while, before her mum comes and picks her up. You don’t mind, do you?”

“No, I don’t mind,” I said with a smile, “Maybe we can play a game together?”

Angela looked at me and raised her eyebrow. That special day I mentioned last week? She had been involved, waiting in a room for the five - no, six, I forgot Heidi’s cousin Natalie was her then - for us to find her bound and gagged. She’d spent the rest of the day helping Mum and Dad with various things, before posing for photos with us while Mum, me and her were tied up and gagged. The photo album had come through yesterday from Uncle Alexander, and we had all sat up and looked through it together.

“That’s not just up to my, kiddo - Mum and Dad have a say in that as well.”

“I don’t see any harm in it,” Dad said as he stood up and grabbed his jacket, “so long as all of you agree to do it. I’ve got to run - and Alicia, your bus leaves in ten minutes.”

I nodded as I quickly began to eat - I hadn’t realised it had got that late.

As soon as I got into the new form room, I sat next to Jenny and said “Well, fancy meeting you here.”

My clique looked on in faint horror, with one exception - Mary Holmes, who came and sat on the same bench at the worktable with us. “About time you two became friends,” she said as she looked at us, “You any idea how hard it was been friends with both of you. What happened - shock therapy?”

“Something like that,” Jenny said as the door opened and an unfamiliar woman walked in. I could hear a clicking sound, and as she came to the front I saw it was the heels of her boots as she leaned against the table. She was stern looking, with her brown hair swept back to reveal her high forehead.

“Good morning class,” she said in an accent that sounded European, “I am Dr Wolfe, your new form tutor. I am sure we will all get along splendidly - so long as you keep to the rules. Now, sit quietly while I take the register...”


“She’s a rum one,” Jenny said as we walked out of the school at the end of the first day.

“Who is?”

“Dr Wolfe - she seems to know her stuff in Chemistry, but she’s tough.”

“Well, so can I be if I need to. See you tomorrow?”

“Yeah,” Jenny said as we went in different directions at the school gates. I jumped on the bud and was home in fifteen minutes. As I walked in, I heard Angela say “Is that you, Ali? Come in the front room.”

I looked round the corner to see Suzie sitting there. “Hi Ali,” she said as she looked up at me from the couch, “We made a head start - why don’t you go and get changed and join us?”

Another week, another day, another update, another new story! I’m sure this would turn out to be another great story!

There’s no one tied up here, but that’s only the start. (Well I think Suzie at the couch is, but let’s see tomorrow).

So aside from Aunt Cassie, we have Dr Wolfe, a new teacher with a strange accent. Why do I have the feeling that Aunt Cassie being a new teacher has something to do with Dr. Wolfe? Is Dr Wolfe somehow connected to the Pearl of Great Price?

Of course, being a new term in school it’s only expected that they would have new teachers. Hm, I wonder, how many more new teachers are there, both literal, and figuratively, in this story?

The first day of school went far smoother than expected. One of them, Mary Holmes, seem to be mutual friends with Jenny and Alicia before all of this. And the rest of them would follow suit, because they are hanging with out Alicia because of her wealth, and family connections, not because they hate Jenny. And if they did, I would assume that they simply took Alicia’s lead, and if she becomes friendly with Jenny, then they would be friendly with Jenny. Jenny might find herself with more new ‘friends’ and her own hangers on when the school would learn just how close the Craigs are to the Holdernesses—and I assume Cassie would have more new friends as well as she would be best friends of the granddaughter of Sir Desmond, and even better, unlike Alicia, Suzie would be daughter and brother of future Lord Holdernesses as well (Alicia would merely be niece and cousin to one)!

After all, if you can’t be friends with the granddaughter of a rich influential man, then the next best thing is to be friends with the new best friend of the granddaughter of the rich influential man!

Wow, so Alicia and Heidi were writing to each other ever since they were seven and eight, respectively?

Oh my God, I hope those photo albums won’t fall into the wrong hands, and be used for blackmail purposes in the future.

Is Bobby with Suzie at Alicia’s home? I assume the reason for Suzie being there is that Mom and Dad would come home pretty late and she would be alone—that would apply to her brother too. Or would he arrive later than Alicia? We know that he is pretty good at knots—that’s a prerequisite of being a successful scout—but being good at knots doesn’t necessarily mean he’s good at tying people. We’ll see the next part, I guess.

Anyway, great start, KP!!

She originally wanted to look like Hannah Montana? That is so, well… :lol: I’m glad she decided to revert to her natural hair color. At least it adds a literal meaning to the phrase “be yourself!”

Its refreshing to look at the past events through Alicia’s eyes. She maybe a stuck up little girl, but she is a sympathetic character. She has probably the greatest character change of all characters I’ve read in a tie up story. Just reading how Jenny described her in the first story, you wouldn’t recognize her reading this one.

Anyway, now that we’ve heard from Alicia, we at least heard from all four principal characters—first Jenny, then Jenny, then Cassie, then Cassie again, then Jenny, then Cassie once more, then Suzie, and finally Alicia. I hope we can hear what Heidi thought of her stay in England. Perhaps you can put it as an introduction to your next Heidi story. Seeing as it is in the third person, maybe it could start with Heidi reading some of this from her journal?

Anyway, when the four girls visit the States, perhaps they could bring a copy of the album, and a copy of the completed video (burned in a DVD of course) of that last day as a surprise present for Heidi and Natalie?

KP Presents wrote: “No, I don’t mind,” I said with a smile, “Maybe we can play a game together?”


So Alicia was the one who proposed a ‘game’? I don’t think she would do so. After all, she prefers to tie rather than be tied up. Maybe she’s thinking that would be her opportunity to tie up big sister! After all, what better way to get back at her (well, for being big sister) than by tying her up? I’m sure she would tie up Suzie too, but then, who will tie up Alicia?

Maybe this is the time when Angela might babysit the Craigs? Or not.

Anyway, maybe Bobby would make an appearance the next part. Speaking of Bobby, maybe he can have a best friend or something, so that he won’t be the only boy when he participates in the future. Maybe his friend’s family name could be Hampton, if you know what I mean. :wink: Maybe he could be a cousin of Bobby himself on his mother's side and was with him in the scouts and at Grandma Jacobs?

Hm, was Suzie already tied up at that couch?

Anyway, on to more important things.

I’ve bought your ebook, and I must say, it’s very nice indeed. I won’t review the seven stories, as you already know what I think about it. The entire book is such a nice compilation and makes reading it much easier from start to finish. And thanks for the mention in the introduction. The others would know what I mean if they read that part.

For the prologue story, I must say John Craig is a very sneaky fellow indeed. I really enjoyed that story. And it was enjoyable looking at the other characters when they were young. You should write more stories about John, Connie, and Cassie. How about John’s first time tying up Connie and Cassie? According to John’s reply on your deviant art page (I’ve been reading it and I must say, that Q&A was very imformative. Maybe you can post it as a story in its own right, or mabye even a part of a future ebook?), he was Cassie’s age (10) when he first tied up both his sister, which would make Connie six, and Cassie eight. Does Connie even remember that very first time?

How about when Granny Craig and Lady Holderness were young too?

For the epilogue, wow! So much future hints of future stories that I’m afraid to review it for fear of giving away spoilers! Let’s just say that it gives the first names of some characters and the family names of others for the very first time.

As for the story itself, all I can say is that it’s sweet, its heartwarming, and its very very entertaining and enlightening.

Thank you for that ebook.

I'm not going to comment on your words of praise, save to say thanks for them and to officially announce you can now purchase An Education direct from Lulu, if you click on the link. Hopefully in the next couple of days, it will be available on iBooks, and the Nook soon after that.

I looked at Suzie as she sat on the chair, swinging her legs to and fro as she smiled back. She was still wearing her school uniform - the blue pullover on top of the white polo shirt, grey skirt, grey socks and black shoes. The only really unusual thing was the band of white rope that was wrapped around and between her ankles by Angela, who was kneeling in front of her.

“So what’s the game?”

Angela looked up and said “this crazy woman has broken in and forced me to tie my little cousin up, before she ties me up. Know anyone who is like that?” She smiled as she said this, her dark hair pulled back into a ponytail that hung down the back of her blue sweatshirt.

What can I say? It turns out that Angela, in her days in the Guides, was often tied up on trips and weekends away, and liked it. It put a whole new perspective on the night before the summer, but I wasn’t worrying about that now - I was heading upstairs, as fast as I could, to change into something more comfortable. I stripped out of my uniform, hanging the blazer and skirt up before I pulled on a pair of black stirrup pants and a black jumper.

Pausing only to gather up my dirty clothes and out them in the basket in the bathroom, I ran down the stairs again and stood in the doorway. “Well,” I said in as adult a way as possible, “I told you to tie her up. Keep going.”

Suzie already had her hands pulled behind her back, and I could see now a band of rope over her blue jumper, tied round her waist. “Please, don’t hurt us,” Angela said as she looked up at me.

“Well, tie her legs together then,” I said with a scowl, watching as Angela took a length of cord and pulled Suzie’s legs together below her knees. I saw the smile grow on her face as Angela passed the rope around and between her legs, taking great care not to hurt her as her legs were locked together.

“Make her lie down on her stomach,” I said, watching again as big sis helped Suzie to lie flat on her back on the recliner and then roll over. I could see her wrists were crossed and bound, the rope cinching the coils both between her arms and between her arms and body.

“Tie her ankles to her wrists, and then roll her onto her side.”

As Angela did this to Suzie, I picked up a few things that they had left on the coffee table, winking at my cousin as I did so. She smiled back in return as her ankles were connected to her waist rope by a length of cord, holding her legs back as she rolled onto her side.

“I need you to be quiet now,” I said as I handed Angela the small folded handkerchief. “Put that in her mouth, and then use this tie to keep it in there. Once you’ve done that, lie face down on the floor and put your hands behind your back.”

I watched Suzie’s eyes light up as the cloth was pushed into her open mouth, and then one of my dad’s old ties was pulled between her teeth, her lips closing over it as Angela tied the ends tightly together under her red hair. “You don’t have to do this,” she said as she lay down on the floor, and moved her hands behind her back.

“I can’t take the risk of you alerting the authorities,” I said as I picked up some rope, crossed Angela’s wrist behind her back and started to tie them together. I secretly enjoyed this - it’s not often you get to be boss over your big sister, and it helped that Angela really liked this.

I made sure I did everything that Heidi taught me - doubled over the rope before I passed it round her wrists, then pulled them gently together, several passes round, feed the ends through and split them, pass them between Angela’s arms to tighten the loops together, and then tie off out of reach of her fingers. I didn’t tie her thumbs or anything - I knew she was just playing a game for this.

Reaching down to her feet, I used a second length of rope to bind her ankles together, keeping the coils over the cuffs of her blue jeans. I heard her sigh as I did this, making sure the ropes went between her legs as well, and glanced at Suzie. She just raised an eyebrow as I said “Roll over and sit up.”

I stood up and watched Angela as she rolled onto her back and managed to sit herself up in one movement. Those Yoga classes were obviously doing her the world of good, as I knelt behind her and took a long length of rope, passing it around her body as I bound her arms tightly into her side around her stomach, winding the rope round her arms as I did so. I had watched Cassie and Jenny’s father do this, and tried to copy it as best I could.

“Comfy,” I said with a slight chuckle as I walked in front of her, pushing her legs up and binding them together below her knees.

“What do you think,” Angela replied in an angry voice, but she winked at me and Suzie to show she was just acting. “Well then, open up and shut up,” I said as I held a sponge ball in front of my big sister’s face. It was a different gag, but I knew she liked this one.

“Just don’t hurt her,” Angela said before allowing me to push the ball in, closing her lips over it as I picked up the white medical tape and tore the end free from the roll. Pressing the end against her cheek, I wrapped it round her head three times, making her mumble quietly as I sealed the stuffing into place. It went over her hair, but I knew that it would not be a problem for her.

“Hiwwwntttt,” Suzie mumbled from her position on the recliner. “You need to be quiet too,” I said as I used the tape over her mouth as well, hearing her mumble “fnnskksas” as it was wound round.

“I’m going to have a look round,” I said as I stood up and looked at both of them. “Don’t go anywhere now.” I walked out of the room and towards the kitchen, leaving both of them to see if they could get free at all.

I had a suspicion that if either of them was going to be successful, it was Suzie, but as I poured myself a cold drink I realised that I was missing out on something. I actually wanted to be tied up with them, but there was nobody else around, and I did not like the idea of tying myself up. Maybe I could get Mum or Dad to tie me and Suzie up later?

I shook my head and dismissed that idea fairly quickly - one of the rules Mum in particular had laid down was only one game a day, and Suzie had had her allocation. As I sat there, wondering what I could do, I heard my phone beep to show a message had arrived.

Taking it out of my pocket, I saw Jenny’s name on the screen, and opened the new text message.

“Hey - Mum says can U ask Angela to babysit on Saturday? April busy. U and Suz can stay the night. J.”

I smiled as I read that - it would be good to see the two of them again. At any rate, my attention was diverted when the doorbell rang, and I went to answer it.

“Hi Alicia - is Suzie here?”

Standing there, his briefcase in his hand was Suzie’s older brother Bobby. I should have guessed he would have to come round as well, but I still felt slightly panicky - I had no idea if he knew what was going on. He was a year older than me, and goes to another secondary school nearer their home.

“Err - come in Bobby,” I said loudly as I held the door open for him to come in. “Suzie’s upstairs, doing some homework in my room. I’m sure she’ll do down as soon as she’s finished.” I guided him past the door to the front room to the kitchen, where he laid his briefcase on the table and loosened the red and white tie round his neck.

“Has she said anything about that new teacher of hers - Miss Craig? Didn’t you meet her when you had that big bash last week when I was at Granny’s?”

“No, she hasn’t said anything,” I said as I poured him a glass of squash as well. “And she isn’t that bad - all right, she used to be in the Forces, but that doesn’t make her a bad person.”

“I suppose not,” he said as the door opened and Suzie came in. She smiled at Bobby and said “Hey bro - what’s happening?” as she went to pour herself a glass of squash as well. She winked at me as she did so, which I took to be thanks for the warning.

“Hey Suzie - so how was the first day with the Colonel?”

“Actually she was Captain Craig, but it’s Miss Craig now,” Suzie said as she sat down. “She made us write a story about the most exciting thing that happened to us during the summer.”

“Really - what did you write about, picnics by the lake or been held hostage at the Craig house?”

We both stared at him as he took a drink. “What? Mum told me while you were away about how you walked in on a masked gang terrorising the Craigs, and how you were held hostage for a few hours. I wonder how that felt - not been able to raise the alarm.”

Now Suzie and I both laughed - obviously Aunt Susan had not told her everything that had happened. She must have known - even if Grandma had not, I remembered from the conversation at the dinner table a week or two back that Mrs Craig had told her and Mum everything.

“Oh really - and what Aunt Susan tell you about our day together?”

“Just that you all played a lot of games, and ha d a lot of fun.” He looked at the two of us. “Why?”

We looked at each other before I said “Nothing, nothing,” as I heard Bobby’s phone ring. As he fished it out of his bag, Angela came in and said “Hey Bobby - good day at school.”

“Not bad,” he said as he looked at his phone. As he opened the text message, I looked at Angela.

“I’ve had a message form Mrs Craig - would you be able to babysit for them on Saturday? And Suzie - we’re invited to stay the night if you want.”

“Sounds fun,” Suzie said with a smile as Bobby let out a groan. “Hey - what’s up?”

“Message from Mum - she says you can stay, but I need to go with you on Saturday night. Apparently Dad’s got some big dinner on. I can stay here for the night with you Angela, if that’s all right - I’ve got a game on Sunday.”

“Yeah, that’s fine on all counts,” Angela said as she poured herself a drink. “I’ll call Mrs Craig to confirm.”

“Great - stuck in a house full of girls all night,” Bobby said with a sigh as he put his phone away. “It never rains but it pours.”






“So how was your day,” Dad said as he knelt down behind me.

“Not bad - we had a new Chemistry teacher, who’s also my form tutor. A woman called Doctor Wolfe. I had to do some homework for her tonight, while Angela kept an eye on the youngsters.”

“I’m sorry I forgot to mention about Bobby coming round,” Mum said as she smiled in the chair next to me. “I hope he didn’t interrupt anything?”

“I kept him out of the front room,” I said as I looked over at her. “Angie and Suzie managed to get themselves free. Still, I guess I get to make up for it now - thanks for playing with me, Mum.”

Mum and I were sat side by side on two dining room chairs, our arms round the back where Dad had tied our wrists together and secured them to one of the central spars. He had also tied our arms to the side of the chair, and our waists against the chair back. Mum was wearing a ling sleeved blue top, with a black waistcoat over it, a long floral print skirt and black leather boots with three inch square heels.

Her ankles were already tied together and secured to the front leg of her chair, and her skirt was gathered around her legs where Dad had tied them together above her knees. In my case, he had tied my ankles and knees to the two chair legs, while Angela had been watching a film on the television.

“Right,” Dad said as he stood up, “open your mouth nice and wide, Anne.” He pulled the knot he had tied in the middle of the red silk square into her mouth, pulling the bands around her head and knotting them together over her long hair, before offering a rolled up handkerchief to me. I opened my mouth and let him push it in before he tore off a long length of white tape and stuck it over my mouth.

“Fnksggnddd,” I mumbled as he kissed us both on the head and sat down in his armchair.

“Hey,” Angela said as he looked at the two of us watching the television, “how come you didn’t tie or gag Mum as tightly? It’s almost as if you were been protective of her.”

“Well, I am,” Dad said as he picked up the paper. “After all, she is six weeks pregnant.”

Angela and I stared at him, then Mum, who smiled over her gag as she nodded in confirmation.

Ah so nice to spend more quality time together as family with no villains to spoil things this time so far. But knowing you I am very positive the tranquility will end very soon indeed. Perhaps in the future in another series too I can introduce your ladies to some of my regular rp villains. But don't quote me on this please...

Angela was tied up far more than she let on at first, apparently! And I’m sure being on the Girl Guides would not only afford to let her be tied up but also learn more knotting techniques useful in tie up situations.

So they got on it right away, eh? That grunt Suzie made after Alicia gagged Angela was I think a signal that she wanted to be gagged the same. And I guess they were able to position themselves after Alicia gone to check out who arrived (Bobby) and free themselves in turn! That was a close call!

With Alicia wanting to be tied up with Angela and Suzie, I’m surprised she didn’t jump on her cousin Bobby to tie her up with the others. I guess there was still a little hesitation in telling her cousin this, but I think it should be put to rest. They should have figured out that if everyone of the family, their grandmother, aunts and uncles, parents, all played tied up games and enjoyed it, it would also mean that Bobby too, would enjoy it. I guess that dealing with a boy her age, even if it was her cousin, made Alicia hesitate.

Was the one game a day rule only applicable for school days? If that is true that would mean that during weekends they could play as many games as they want. But how about the Holdernesses? What were the rules of tie up games of Suzie’s parents?

Whatever the rules were, I’m sure Suzie would not be able to wait for Saturday (its Tuesday, right?) to be tied up again. And she can’t be tied up at home by her parents without Bobby knowing. And besides, Mom and Dad may not be available all the time. So I’m sure, after they went home that afternoon, and the next afternoons, Suzie might ask or provoke Bobby to tie her up! Maybe a little like, “hey Bobby, what’s that badge for?” “Oh that’s for proficiency in tying knots, why?” “Oh so you know how to tie knots…” Of course, she might not tell him that the other girls were also playing tie up games, because it’s not Suzie’s “secret” to tell anyway (And it isn’t much of a secret anyway). But I’m sure he’ll find out, sooner or later.

So Bobby and Suzie would be at Angela’s at Saturday, but Angela herself would babysit the Craigs? Hm, it would be nice and peachy for Bobby I guess. Angela would get Alicia and Suzie and go the Craigs, while he can stay with his Uncle Simon and Aunt Anne without all the annoying girls. But what if they too were busy? Does that mean Bobby would have to go to the Craigs as well?

That was a heck of an announcement. Learning about your Mom being pregnant while your Mom (and you) are bound and gagged by your Dad!

Well, this is how I read it.
KP Presents wrote:“Message from Mum - she says you can stay, but I need to go with you on Saturday night. Apparently Dad’s got some big dinner on. I can stay here for the night with you Angela, if that’s all right - I’ve got a game on Sunday.”


Well, I think the statement "you can stay" meaning Suzie can stay (since he is talking to Suzie). Does that mean Suzie can stay the night at Angela's or at the Craigs at Saturay? I think it's permission for Suzie to stay at the Craigs Saturday night if she wanted to because the parents already arranged for both of them to stay at Angela's because of the dinner appointment.

But the phrase " but I need to go with you on Saturday night" I interpreted as he needed to go with Suzie to Angela's home because of Dad's big dinner. And since he asked "I can stay here for the night with you Angela" I think he meant by "here" Angela's house, as he is there right right now.

Well, that's how I read it. Am I right?

My intention was, and I hope this follows, that Booby woudl have to go to Angela and Alicia's house on Saturday, then go with them to the Craigs, but that he woudl come back to the Bowden house and stay with Angela and her parents overnight.

So yeah, I see how it could be read both ways :D

Thank you. Well anyway, it wouldn't matter much, because confusion because of vague text messages would easily be cleared up when the actual plans are explained, hopefully in the next chapter.

So Alicia, and Suzie would stay overnight at the Craigs? Oh a sleepover! I hope Bobby (with some friends) might go over and kidnap them one by one during that sleepover, but I guess it would be too early for that in this story. Maybe in the future, when they knew him much better! Of course, it should be a surprise to make it seem genuine.

Postby William F Somebody » Tue Aug 07, 2012 8:15 am

Alicia, it seems, aside from enjoying being the captor, especially of her big sister, is beginning to really enjoy being tied up. I guess all that time being tied up since Suzie’s Sleepover made her realize how much she missed being in that state, especially as she began to crave it when seeing the other bound girls. I wonder she didn’t simply use the handcuffs after tying her feet and gagging herself? Probably because she preferred the feel of rope. I guess the use of handcuffs would be primarily to quickly subdue someone without time to tie her up elaborately. I hope we can see the use of it, but only as a preliminary as has been suggested in the last story.

That was a close one with Bobby. I would have thought that he would have known by now, if only because Suzie, like a typical overeager ten year old, would blab to him about the wonderful summer they had and tell him about all, and I mean all, her activities, especially about her new favourite one! (10 year old Cassie blabbed it to Uncle Dave, whom she barely knew, and Bobby and Suzie were siblings). Hm, why hasn’t Suzie asked him to tie her up? I mean its Tuesday, and being used to being tied up everyday, she would, I assume, want to be tied up on Sunday, and Monday, following that wonderful day. Or does Bobby really know already (well, about Suzie’s passion for being tied up, not of the others activities) and he thinks that its something to keep as a secret between brother or sister? If Bobby would tie up Suzie again during that stay with the Craigs, I suspect it wouldn’t be the first time he would tie up his sister. But he would probably be very surprised to see all other girls “in” on the “secret.”

Anyway, I hope we can learn by Friday how Alicia’s “friends” (aside from Mary Holmes) reacted to Jenny. And perhaps Jenny can tell us if her popularity increased compared to last year. And about Cassie. I’m sure she would have more friends too because of her connection to Suzie. Speaking of Cassie, I’m beginning to miss that overeager beaver. I’m sure that if Cassie was there when Bobby came in, she would immediately would have no hesitation in telling him that they’re playing tie up games! (She had no hesitation in telling the men who stayed the night, Mr Small, Uncle Dave, Aunt Cassie, and telling her classmates about how she was tied up by robbers, so she won’t keep it a secret from him).

I hope we can see Cassie again the next part.

I see that in playing, they already are distinguishing between games that they expect to be escapable, and those that are not. That game with Suzie and Angela are the part of the escapable games, while most of the games of that last summer day was not.

And finally, its good to see that her parents would play with her and Angela from time to time, although I suspect Mom’s occasions to play would be limited and even stopped as the pregnancy progresses. Anyway, I hope in the future, when its Suzie’s turn to narrate, she could give scenes like this at home, but with Bobby doing the tying and Dad coaching him how to do it right!

“She’s pregnant? Good grief, Alicia - you’re going to have a little brother or sister. Guess that means you’ll have to be an Angela to her as well!”

Jenny looked at me as we sat at the dinner table the next day, eating our lunches. I said “Don’t - it’s the thought he or she will be thirteen years younger that scares me. Angela nearly freaked out as well.”

“I can imagine,” Jenny said with a chuckle. “So I guess your new found game times are going to be curtailed?”

“Not really - just differently managed, I think,” I said with a smile. “Anyway, we almost got caught by Bobby yesterday. Mum forgot to tell me he was coming, and he nearly walked in on Suzie and Angela trying to free each other.”

I looked at Jenny, who had a strange expression on her face. “Why would Bobby not know what’s going on? Didn’t you say he was a Scout?”

“Yeah?”

“And Scouts know Ropes?”

“And?”

“So you really think Suzie hasn’t been pestering him? If she’s anything like Cassie, and we both know she is, she will have been asking him about his badges at the very least.”

That made me stop and think for a moment. ”Yeah - you may have a point there. Anyway, how is the little dynamo?”

“Cassie? As bright as a button and as cute as always. Last night she got Dad to help her, me and Mum to play a game of Find The Knife.”

“Find The Knife? What does that involve?”

Jenny looked round and leaned forward. “Well, since that gang took us all hostage, Dad has been concerned that we should find ways to free ourselves, so we came up with this game. We changed into our night clothes, and then put socks over our hands.

“He then made us lie on the floor of the front room, and trussed us tightly. We each had our wrists crossed and tied together with rope, and then secured round our waists as usual. Cassie and me had our arms tied to our stomachs, while Mum had rope round her arms, tummy and shoulders. Our ankles were crossed and tied, our legs below our knees, and then we were hogtied.”

“Sounds fun already,” I whispered conspiratorially. “So what happened then?”

“We had a piece of cloth in our mouths, a scarf between our lips, and tape around our heads, and then he blindfolded us with silk scarves. He put somewhere in the room a plastic picnic knife, and told us we had to try and find it. Hilarity, as they say, ensued.”

I looked at the smile on Jenny’s face and had to laugh. “I bet it did,” I said as I picked up a sandwich and took a bite.

Mary walked over and joined us, saying “So, how are the most popular pair of girls in the school?”

“Don’t,” Jenny said with a grimace, “I know they were your friends, Alicia, but some of them seem determined to claim me as their own now.”

“They’re not that bad once you get to know them -well, most of them,” Mary said with a grin. “So, what are you two talking about?”

“Oh, family secrets,” I said as I smiled at Mary. “How was Economics today?”

“Tough - we had another new female teacher. Mrs Jenkins.”

“Strange that,” Jenny said, “There have been an awful lot of new teachers this term - that makes the sixth one. And they all seem to take at least one of our classes.”

I sat and thought about that. Apart from Dr Wolfe, there was Miss Hampton in English, Miss Curtis in Maths, Miss Eaves in PE and Mrs Dunston in Home Economics.

“Oh come on,” Jenny said with a laugh, “We always get a lot of new teachers - it’s probably just coincidence.” She looked at her watch, before saying “Lord is that time - I need to get to Art.”

“Oh yeah - what’s the hurry?”

Jenny stopped and looked at me. “Believe it or not, another new teacher - Mr Bennett. He’s a stickler for time keeping.”

“Aren’t they all,” Mary said as Jenny walked off, but I was thinking - this was getting a bit more than funny, and I wanted to talk to someone about it.



Thursday night was when Grandma was coming to visit, so after we had eaten I took her aside for a few minutes and told her about the new teachers.

“I’m sure it’s nothing to be worried about, Alicia,” she said as she next to me on my bed, “it sounds like it is just all coincidence.”

I nodded as Grandma put her arm round me. “Don’t let it worry you, Alicia - you have a lot of changes coming this year, and this is just a bunch of them coming at the same time. Just enjoy what is happening now, and let others worry about other things.”

“Thanks Grandma,” I said as I hugged her, while Mum came into my bedroom. “Mum,” she said as she sat down next to us, “Amy Strong is on the telephone, and would like to talk to you.”

“All right,” Grandma said as she stood up and walked to the door, “Have fun on Saturday, Alicia.”

“Thanks, Grandma, I will,” I said as she walked out. “As for you, Alicia,” Mum said, “Bed - you still have school in the morning.”

“All right, Mum,” I said as I retrieved my nightdress from under my pillow. I was getting tired, and i wanted to get a good sleep.

Something told me that I would not get much sleep on Saturday night.



I looked up from my work desk when I heard the car coming up the driveway. Standing up, I looked out of the window and saw Uncle Alexander and Aunt Susan get out of the car, dressed in casual clothes, and then Suzie and Bobby. I looked at myself in the mirror, dressed in a blue pinafore dress over a white long sleeved top.

“Alicia,” I heard Dad call up, and I put my English homework away before coming down the stairs. “Hi Ali,” Suzie called up as I came down, smiling as I went and hugged her parents.

“Thank you for doing this, Simon,” Uncle Alexander said when I let him go, “I have to attend this dinner tonight, and Bobby is still too young to leave on his own.”

“it’s no problem,” Dad said as he rubbed his hand on Bobby’s head, mussing up his light hair. “I’ll take him to the game tomorrow, and then drop him off at your place after that. The girls are staying over, anyway, so he won’t be too embarrassed.”

“I already am,” Bobby said in a sulk, “I have to spend all day with the girls, don’t I?”

“You might learn something,” Uncle Alexander said as he winked at us. “Right - I have to go. We’ll see you both tomorrow.”

We all stood in the door and waved as Uncle Alexander helped Aunt Susan into the car and drove off. “Right then,” Dad said a she closed the door, “Angela and your mother won’t be back for another hour, so you’ll have to amuse yourselves while I get on with the mowing.”

“Let’s go up to our room,” I said as I walked up, the others following me. As we walked in and I closed the door, Suzie sat on my bed, swinging her legs as she did so. Her blue pleated skirt was just covering her knees, and she was wearing a matching short sleeved blouse on top. Bobby had on a brown t-shirt and khaki shorts.

“So,” I said as I sat down in my chair, “what do you two want to do?”

“I want to play a game,” Suzie said with a big smile on her face. Bobby rolled his eyes and said “Don’t tell me you wan to play that knot tying game again?”

“Oh yes,” I said as I looked at Suzie, “what is that?”

“She’s been bugging me all week to show her how I can tie two sticks together - I learned it at this week’s meeting, and she just keeps asking me to do it. I’m telling you, it gets boring.”

“Well, how would you like to make it more interesting,” Suzie said as she smiled at me. “Tie my hands together.”

“NO,” Bobby almost shouted, “the Scout Master said we must never do that.”

“Oh - and you do everything the Scout Master tells you,” Suzie said as she stuck her tongue out at him. I could see Bobby bristling at this, as he looked at both of us.

“Look,” I eventually said, “I won’t tell your mum or dad if you do this, and it will keep Suzie quiet. In fact here,” I said as I stood up and went to the dressing gown that was on the back of the door, “Use the belt from this. Just do it and she’ll stop pestering you.”

Now, I knew, and Suzie knew, that Uncle Alexander and Aunt Susan would not say anything, but Bobby for some reason either did not know, or was not sure, so he was hesitating. I took the belt off and put it in his hands, saying “Just do it and get it over with, Bobby - what’s the worst thing that can happen?”

I watched as he took the belt and walked over to Suzie, who was holding her hands out in front of her. He wrapped it round her bare wrists, making several passes before he tied the ends together and let them hang together under her arms.

“There now - happy?” he said as he looked at her.

“Not really,” she said as she pulled her wrists free in less than 10 seconds. “I thought you said you were good at tying things together?” I had to stop myself laughing at the look on Bobby’s face, as Dad came into the room.

“Kids I - ah,” he said as he looked at us. “Mum and Angela are back, so if you come down we’ll have some lunch, and then I’ll run you over to the Craig house.”

Suzie smiled at me, then stuck her tongue out at Bobby as she walked out of the room. I heard her running down the stairs, calling out “Hi Aunt Anne,” as Bobby looked at us and then followed her.

“Want to tell me what that was all about,” Dad said as he looked at me.

“I think Bobby is going to find School is in session this afternoon,” I said with a smile. “Come on, let’s eat.”

Bobby’s scoutmaster said that? No wonder he was so hesitant. He must think its some kind of evil to tie people’s hands! I guess the future baronet would have to be disabused of that notion.

Now that was a funny game. Given how their bound, I guess nobody of them would have the knife, not that it would have done them any good anyway with their hands in socks. Anyway, good thing it was plastic knife. It would have been dangerous using real knives, as they could have cut themselves in the process, especially with the impairment of the use of their fingers. Maybe next time, they should do it not with socks, but simply wrap their fists with white tape! Now that would be really fun!

Hm, is Alicia paranoid, or does she have a point? My first instinct is that she’s paranoid, as so many new teachers are usually not that unusual. Maybe the school decided to expand the student population and take in more enrolees, so they needed many new teachers. Maybe a couple of teachers got caught in something and were fired, and these were the replacements. Maybe a couple of long standing teachers decided to retire together, or maybe its just a coincidence. The school expanded a little to they needed to hire one teacher. One teacher got caught stealing school property and got fired. Another old teacher retired. Then another got lured to another school by higher salary offers. Another teacher decided to be a full time Mom. Another teacher had her husband move to another place. Another died of an accident.

But Aunt Cassie being a new teacher makes me believe that Alicia is right to be paranoid. Anyway, I don’t she has to worry—yet. Maybe it’ll reveal itself in the next story, or not.

I guess Bobby would rather stay with Uncle Simon and Aunt Anne all day and night than go with Angela on her trip to the Craigs. But I have a feeling Uncle Simon and Aunt Anne will have to go out most of the day, and Bobby then would have to go with the girls to the Craigs!

Ah, so Bobby had just began learning knots at the scouts? Well, that only means that he’ll soon get advanced education from the girls—I gather he’d quickly get his badges on that. And as time goes on, he’ll learn more knots that the girls doesn’t know yet!

Anyway, I’m sure when he learns how to tie up people, he’ll love it, if only because it would get his sister and other girls out his hair! And when he tickles, oh boy! I have a feeling Suzie would be annoying to Bobby just to provoke him to tie her up to get her out of his hair! Then I hope Bobby could be the evil big brother that John Craig was to his sisters, and Andrew and I were to our sister and cousin, but in this case, he'll be the evil big brother not only of his sister, but also of his cousins, and their friends too.
