## An Education: Through Fresh Eyes

Post by KP Presents » Thu Jun 05, 2014 3:13 am

“MUM!!! Have you seen my blue party shoes?”
I was racing round the room, trying to find where I had put them under the piles of toys and other junk, when I heard mum say “Ahem – are these what you are looking for Fiona?”
“Thanks mum,” I said with a giggle as I took them and put them in my case.
“Just how many sets of clothes are you taking,” mum said as she looked at me.
“I don’t know,” I said, “how often do you have to change when you spend the weekend with a real Lord and Lady?”
Fiona Kerr, that’s me – ten years old, bright, beautiful, and over the last couple of weeks my whole life has been turned upside down by a little fireball I know called Patty Pickering.
Well, that’s not one hundred per cent true – it was Patty and Rachel, Rachel Rigg, and it all started when I stumbled across a web site when I was trying to find some My Little Pony things.
The site was actually some sort of message thingy, but the people there all claimed that had been the victims of robbery by the same person – the story I read in mum’s newspaper called him the Games Player. Apparently, he tied them up and gagged them with their sisters, friends, mums, grannies, aunts – but he made it a game, so they were not scared.
I didn’t believe it at first, but then Patty and Rachel came back to the big house I live in with Louise – that’s Louise Hobson, my other best friend – and they told us they knew it was true – he had visited both of them!!
I could not believe it, but I was curious about what he did, so they showed Louise and me – and I didn’t think any more of it.
Anyway, on the Monday we found out that all four of us were to play girl detectives in a school play, so we agreed to meet up on the Saturday afternoon to go over the script. We were going to meet at Patty’s house, because mum had a deadline for a new book and needed some peace, and Louise’s dad had a work thing to take care of.
But there was a change of plan, and we agreed to meet at the house of Mrs Williamson, the head of Infants. Apparently Patty and Rachel were friends of her kids, and they were going to spend the day there anyway.
Where was I? Oh yeah – shoes in case, on top of party dress, as mum looked on from the doorway.
“I put plenty of underwear in, and changes of clothes,” she said as she came in. “Look at you – Fiona Kerr, going to spend the weekend at the big – sorry, the bigger house.”
“Have you ever met them mum?”
“I have actually – a few years back, when you were a toddler. Lord Holderness presented me with the Cadbury Buttons prize for best new book for the under 5’s.”
Mum writes and illustrates children’s books – she’s the name you see on the Dandelion Dale series about fairies in the English countryside.
As to why I was going to see him – actually, I was going to spend the long weekend with his granddaughter Suzie. We found out that Saturday that Patricia and Rachel were actually very important girls - after that rehearsal.
The play called for three of us to be held captive, see, so Patty and Rachel made sure our wrists and ankles were tied, and then put a scarf over my mouth and between Louise’s lips to keep us quiet. Rachel then tied and kept Patty quiet – but that was only the opening salvo.
After we had a drink, Lisa and Charlie Williamson came and played with us – and that was when we discovered PATTY’S BIG SECRET!!!
It turned out that ever since that visit by that man, Patty and Rachel had played games where they had been tied up and gagged – and they weren’t the only ones, as we discovered that afternoon when Charlie and Lisa tied both of them up really well and gagged them really well – and they both loved it! Even when we were allowed to tickle them!! ESPECIALLY when we tickled them!!!
Then Charlie and Lisa tied us up as tightly as those two – and left us to try and get free. We couldn’t, but I’ll tell you what we could do – we could stand up, hop around the house, and then follow Rachel’s lead in pushing ourselves up the stairs while Charlie’s dad stood at the bottom of the stairs.
What we didn’t know was Charlie was hiding at the top of the stairs, and took us to where Lisa was already tied and unable to speak. I think he would have tickled all of us if Louse’s dad hadn’t called to say he was coming for us.
Anyway – when I got home, I wasn’t sure what to tell mum, so I just said we had a fun day. When we were having tea that night, Patty called to see if I was free to go and see another friend with her on the Sunday afternoon.
Yeah – another friend, all matter of fact as if we were going to another house in town for a couple of hours on the Sunday.
“Come on,” Mum said as she closed my case and picked it up, “get yourself sorted – we still need to pick up Louise and drive out to the manor house.”
Yeah, I thought as I sat down and put on my black trainers, the manor house. When Rachel’s mum picked us up on the Sunday afternoon, we drove out of town and then into the gates of what turned out to be a large house. We got out, walked in, and then met the friend of Patty and Rach – Suzanne Holderness, the granddaughter of Lord and Lady Holderness.
Yeah, you heard me right – Patty Pickering and Rachel Rigg, all glasses and pigtails and full of mischief, are friends of the oldest and probably richest family in the county!
Actually, Suzie’s a little firecracker as well. She’s two years older than us, but as friendly as heck, and she took us up to a tree house her dad had built at the back of their house – Wissenden Hall.
It was up there that Patty told us some of their past exploits – how they had been held hostage for a full weekend, and spent part of it at the hall. Louise and I didn’t believe them – until they showed us how the masked men had tied them up!
They first used sponges and tapes and socks to keep our hands in balled up fists, then tied our arms tightly together – wrists first over the socks, then more and more tightly with rope around our waists, our tummies and our shoulders, with smaller lengths of rope tightening them even more. By the time they were finished, I could not move my arms at all – and as I wriggled round, the ropes rubbed on my arms and chest.
IT felt funny, and it also felt nice – as if I had to trust everyone else. So they tied out ankles, and then our legs below our knees – and then they kept us quiet.
Really, really quiet. The scarf over the mouth muffled my words a little, and on the Saturday Charlie had put a hankie in my mouth and taped it over, which made me even quieter, but that afternoon – let’s see.
Folded cloth in my mouth, and then a strip of towel with a knot tied in it, the knot in my mouth and the strip tied over it – check.
Funny sticky tape wrapped round my head to cover that towel, tape that stuck firm, but when it came off my hair was fine – check.
A folded scarf tied over that band, the knot at the back of my head – check.
Another scarf tied over my head, and the ends tied under my chin to clamp it shut – check.
Louise and I totally unable to do more than make funny muffled whimpers – TRIPLE CHECK!!!
I followed Mum down the stairs and out to our jeep, me sitting in the front while mum put my case in the back, and then we drove off to pick up Louise. I had a blue jerkin on over a black hoodie and jeans.
It didn’t take us long to get to Louise’s house, and I waved at her as she ran out and got in the back. She was wearing a grey tracksuit and trainers with pink flashes, and a pink t-shirt underneath, and as she got in she said “Excited?”
“You bet,” I said as her dad put her bag in the back, and then stood talking to mum for a few minutes.
You see, while we were in the tree house, Suzie’s brother Bobby came up and said their grandmother was there. So we were untied, and then went back into the hall – and there she was, smiling as we came in.
Who? Suzie’s grandmother – Lucinda, Lady Holderness, as the papers call her. Louise and I looked at each other in shock, but Suzie just introduced us and sat down as if it was the most normal thing in the world to do.
Anyway, one thing led to another, and next thing we knew we were being invited to spend the Saturday and Sunday at Holderness Manor!!!
Well, we said yes, if our parents agreed. A couple of days later, mum got a telephone call, and it was Lady Holderness, asking if she was happy for me to come and stay with Suzie and some others for a long weekend.
Oh yeah – school had broken up last Wednesday, and given that Lady Holderness asked if we would like to come on the Thursday, and stay over until the Tuesday morning.
Dad was coming home on Friday from another business trip, after six weeks, and mum was open to having some time alone with him. So she said I could come, and also said both of them would join us for Sunday lunch.
So that was it – Louise and I would be spending the long weekend with Suzie, Patty and Rachel, as well as Patty’s younger cousin Cassie Craig and Lisa Williamson. That’s what Patty said when Louise and I saw her at the last day at school.
“Yeah, that’s right – the others are going to be there at different times over the weekend. I think Pippa, Cassie’s friend, is coming Friday and Monday, and others are dropping in, but it’s the seven of us for most of the weekend.”
“Are there enough bedrooms for all of us,” Louise had whispered.
“We’ll double up, but there are,” Rachel had said.
“And I guess we can play lots of tie-up games,” I had said with a giggle.
“Count on it – I wouldn’t be surprised if we spent most, if not all of the weekend, tied up and possibly gagged too.”
“No way,” Louise said, “four days unable to move or speak?”
“Did I say we would be unable to move?”
Patty looked indignant, as Louise said “No – but come on, four days…”
Patty said nothing – and if there is a more dangerous thing than a silent Patty Pickering, I’m not sure what it is.
As mum drove into the gates of Holderness Manor, Louise and I looked out at the tree lined road. Wissenden Hall had been impressive enough, but this was something different. I’d found an article on the Holderness family written some months ago by someone called Jennifer Craig in the local paper, that talked about Lord and Lady Holderness and the work they had done in the local community – very big stuff!
But it doesn’t prepare you for the sight of that large dark stone house you get when you come up the driveway, or the sight of the welcoming committee that were on the stairs. I saw Suzie, in a pair of faded jeans, trainers and a blue t-shirt, her red hair pulled back in a ponytail, and next to her the taller Bobby Holderness, her big brother. He was wearing a pair of shorts and a striped polo shirt, his light brown hair cut short.
There was also a grey haired man in a suit who came forward as mum stopped the jeep and opened the door as we jumped out. “Hey,” Suzie said as we went up to greet her, “Welcome to grandpa and grandma’s place. Mister Bridges will take your cases in.”
“Thank you for inviting them,” mum said as she came up and hugged me. “I’ll see you on Sunday – mind your manners and behave yourselves.”
“Don’t worry, Mrs Kerr,” Bobby said with a smile, “I’m sure they will behave themselves, won’t they Suzie?”
“Oh I guarantee it,” Suzie said with a big grin.
“Don’t worry mum,” I said, “we’ll be fine.”
Mum nodded and waved as she went back to the car and drove off, while the older man took our cases in. Louise and I stood and waved her off – and then, as she disappeared into the distance, our arms were taken behind our backs, and we heard a rasping sound as our wrists were drawn together!
“Hey, what’s going on?” I said as I looked behind me and saw a white plastic strip around my wrists, the same as Louise.
“The start of the weekend,” Suzie said. “You can ask for that to be taken off any time, but it’s staying until dinner time otherwise. Now, come on in!”

Now that is a weekend! A long weekend! Four days of tie up games! I have a feeling that it would unforgettable for the two!!!!
So it would be seven of them for the four days? Lisa, Cassie, Suzie, Rachel, Patty, Louise and Fiona! It would be fun, fun, fun, since they are the youngest ones!!!
I wonder if Patty was planning anything? Looks like it since she suddenly became quiet! Last time I remember when she became quiet, she came up with the idea of being strapped on the caravan while being bound and gagged full job! And it looks like Bobby and Suzie are in on it!
And it’s Fiona! I guess this is like While You Were Away where Mary and Cathy stayed at the Manor for one week during Halloween time. I hope they do learn stuff, such as how to tie, and how to escape, but more importantly, have fun.
I wonder if they’ll watch a DVD of their past exploits? Hopefully, one of the others will remain ungagged to explain who are those they are watching. By this time, they have quite a collection, all the way from Last Day of Summer two years ago.
They will, of course, have party, I guess, on Sunday, but Friday and Saturday should be fun too! I know Cassie and the others will soon arrive, but how about the older ones? Jenny and Alicia they should meet too. Angela too!
And the weekend is off to a great start with the surprise of the plastic ties! They never have been tied up by that, but now, they will feel it! But I’m sure they will long for ropes!

Thanks KP for this! I really appreciate this story!
I bet Louise and Fiona are totally surprised at this! And that the two would not have it removed unless it’s replaced with something better, like rope, or it is absolutely necessary! Patty could tell them their bet during the road trip last summer, how she bet that she and Cassie could spend the entire trip tied up!
Guess this is also part of the game!
I do wonder if Cassie and Patty have accounts to the message board where the Games Player victims have a community. I wonder if Cassie could tell them her name in the board? I’m sure she could identify Patty’s name and Suzie too just by reading their tales!
I wonder how Fiona will react to seeing the inside of the Hall! I’m sure she’ll be awestruck by how big, and how beautiful the place will be!
Perhaps Fiona could tell us how it felt to be tied up by a plastic tie instead of a rope?
And of course, there are the DVDs too! As Tom mentioned, they already have quite the collection!

We were led into this massive hallway, all dark wood panels and pillars, and then into a library. I was pleased to see Patty and Rachel already there, talking at another girl I recognised from the playground – Patty’s cousin Cassie.
“Have you seen their arms,” Louise said as we walked in. I had – all three of them had their wrists behind their backs, and I could see the plastic strip round Cassie’s crossed wrists.
“Oh, you’re here,” Patty said as Cassie turned round. “Glad you could make it.”
“Wouldn’t miss it for the world, Patty,” Louise said as they came over.
“Fiona, Louise, this is Cassie Craig. Cassie, Fiona Kerr and Louise Hobson.”
“Hey,” she said with a smile, “glad you could make it. Come and sit down for a minute.”
As we went to the couch, I saw Bobby securing his sister’s wrists behind her back, presumable with one of the ties as well. “So, ready for some fun this weekend,” Cassie said as she looked at us. “Patty tells me you’ve played some tie-up games already, and I hope you’re up for some more later.”
“Later? What do you call this,” Louise said as she looked at my wrists.
“This? Oh this isn’t a game – we do this all the time around here. Want to have a look round?”
“Why not,” Suzie said as she stood up, “so long as Bobby opens the doors for us.”
Bobby just smiled as he opened the doors, and we went out into the hallway, and then up the stairs. “This is the playroom,” Suzie said as she stopped and Bobby opened a door on the left, showing us the boxes and bean bags in there. “We’ll come back there later during the week.”
“And this,” Cassie said as Bobby showed us a room with two beds, “is where you two will sleep this weekend. I’m sharing a room with Lisa, and the others will pitch in as and when.”
“Wow,” I said, and I meant it. It was almost as big as mum’s work room. I could see our bags under the bed, and it looked as if they had been unpacked already.
“Bathroom’s over there,” Suzie said with a nod of her head, “and the rest of this floor is bedrooms. Want to see the attic?”
“Maybe later,” Cassie said, “let’s take them downstairs first.”
“Come on,” Suzie said as we walked down, and along a corridor. Hanging on the wall was a series of portraits.
“The Lords Holderness of the past,” Bobby said, “right back to the first Lord and his brother.”
We looked at the men, and I began to wonder what their stories were. “We’ll tell you something of them later,” Suzie said as we looked in a large room, empty but with windows looking out onto the lawn.
“This is the ballroom,” Bobby said as we looked up at the chandelier, and out of the windows. “Through that door is the dining room, and then the kitchen. Come and say hello to Mrs Bridges.”
We went back into the corridor and into a large old style kitchen, where a grey haired woman was standing at the sink, preparing vegetables.
“Hello Mrs Bridges,” Cassie said as Patty and Rachel nudged each other, “this is Fiona and Louise – they’re staying this weekend as well.”
“Very pleased to meet you both,” she said as she turned round and dried her hands. She had a nice smile, and the fact we had our hands behind our back didn’t seem to bother her a bit.
“We’re going to go out onto the lawn for a few minutes, Mrs Bridges,” Bobby said as he opened the door.
“All right – but don’t go off into the woods. Dinner will not be that long, and you know your grandfather needs to eat early.”
“All right,” Bobby said as he rolled his eyes, and then led us out onto the most enormous lawn. We walked along the side of the house, and then I gasped as Suzie, Cassie, Patty and Rachel started running down the slight slope towards the line of trees at the bottom.
“How on earth can they do that and keep their balance,” Louise said as I watched them.
“Practice,” was all Bobby said. “Go on – try running after them. The grass is dry, so you shouldn’t slip.”
Louise and I looked at each other, and then we started to run down the grass as well. We went slowly at first, but once we got our balance we were just as fast as the others, running along the edge of the trees and playing tag – only with our arms instead of our hands.
I lost track of time on this, so busy were we laughing and running, so when Bobby said “Sorry girls – time for dinner,” we all complained.
“Where does that path in the trees go to,” I said as I looked at it.
“That goes down to the lake – maybe we can go there tomorrow when Angela’s here.”
“Angela?”
“Our oldest cousin,” Bobby said as we walked back up the path. “You’ll like her – she can teach you a lot of things.”
“But right now, I’m starving,” Suzie said as we went in, and our hands were cut free so that we could wash them. As we went into the dining room, however, we saw Lisa Williamson sitting already at the table.
“Hey there,” she said as she waved at us, “have fun outside?”
“We did,” Cassie said, “why didn’t you come and join us?”
“Why do you think?”
I looked at Lisa, and suddenly realised her waist was tied to the chair back with a length of rope, while her ankles and legs were also tied tightly together. “All right everyone,” Bobby said, “sit down and put your hands on your head.”
“You get tied to the chairs to eat,” I said as Bobby wrapped rope round my waist.
“Only when we have guests,” Suzie said.
“Well, you were the one who didn’t believe we could be tied all day and still have fun,” Patty said as she stuck her tongue out at me.
“All right,” I said with a laugh as I watched my legs been tied together, and then swung my bound ankles to and fro as Bobby pushed my chair in. I watched as the others were similarly secured, and then Bobby sat down as well, saying “comfy?”
“Actually, yes,” I said as I swung my legs some more. “But where are you grandparents?”
“On their way – why?”
“Well,” I said as I looked down, “I’ve never met a real Lord before.”
“Neither have I,” Louise said, neither of us noticing the door had opened.
“Well you have now,” a kindly voice said, and we saw Lord Holderness walk in, holding the arm of Lady Holderness. He looked tired and walked slowly, but as he sat down he smiled and said “Hello – you must be Fiona and Louise. Thanks for coming to stay this weekend.”
“Thank you for inviting us Sir,” I said in a quiet voice, and then I so wanted to kick Patty as she started laughing.
“Patty,” Cassie whispered under her breath.
“It’s all right, Cassandra,” Lady Holderness said. “I hope by the time this weekend is over, you won’t feel quite so nervous. You may serve, Mrs Bridges.”
We had some delicious chicken with veg and ice cream to follow, as Lord Holderness talked to Bobby and Suzie about their plans for the holidays. Lady Holderness asked us about our families, while Cassie talked about some of the things her Aunt Connie had been doing recently.
Anyway, once dinner was finished, we were untied from the chairs and allowed to go to the toilet, before Bobby re-secured our wrists behind us with the plastic ties, and we went back into the library.
“I wanted to show you something from last summer,” Cassie said as Bobby turned on the television. “This is the day we spent with some of our American friends, pretending to be teenage detectives.”
As he played the DVD, we saw Cassie and Patty having breakfast with a taller girl.
“That’s my sister Jenny – I think she’s coming tomorrow and staying over,” Cassie said as we then saw them in old clothes – beautiful ones, but they looked like something out of an old movie. They were then joined by three other girls, who had also changed into those clothes.”
“That’s Heidi,” Suzie said as a blonde haired girl waved at the screen. “She’s my cousin Alicia’s pan pal. The dark haired shorter girl is Cindy – she’s kind of Heidi’s best friend, sister and troublemaker all rolled into one.”
“so who’s the barefooted one,” Louise said.
“Oh, that’s Natalie – she’s great fun, as you’ll see.”
“So what was the story,” I asked.
“Patty, Jenny and I were English girl detectives, who had met up with three American friends for tea and crumpets. Heidi and the other two were pretending to be Nancy Drew and her friends, while we were Jane and Tuppence Marple and Agatha Christie.”
“Who are they,” I asked.
“You’ve never read Nancy Drew? Well, we’ll have to fix that,” Suzie said as we watched them investigating, getting separated, getting kidnapped, tied up and gagged – and then we gasped at the scene where they were all hogtied, tightly gagged and wriggling round as a timer counted down the seconds.
“Wow – you really acted the part Cassie,” I said as I watched her kick the timer out of the caravan.
“Yeah – that was real fun,” Cassie said with a grin like a Cheshire Cat. The part ended with them all waving, and then the scene changed to the inside of a caravan. We saw Cassie, Jenny and Patty tightly bound and gagged, and strapped into the seats, as the camera rocked from side to side.
“See – told you we did that,” Patty said as she beamed at us.
“All right all right – point taken,” I said as I started to yawn. Suzie looked at the clock, and said “Is it that late? Bobby, can you see if we can get some milk and biscuits, and then we’ll go up to bed. We need to be up early tomorrow.”
“Sure,” Bobby said as he went off, coming back with a tray that had glasses of milk and plates of biscuits on. We then had out wrists freed, before we were taken upstairs after our snacks and we changed for bed.
I came back from the bathroom in my pink pyjamas, to see Louise wearing a white nightshirt.
“Cassie said she was going to help us sleep like the others,” she said as I sat on my bed. A few minutes later, Cassie came in holding a roll of white tape.
“Would you guys like to sleep tied up?”
“Won’t it hurt,” I said quietly, trying not to show how excited I was at the idea.
“Not this way – both of you lie down and cross your wrists in front of you.”
Louise and I looked at each other, and then did as Cassie had asked, watching as she taped our wrists tightly together, and then our ankles side by side.
“Now, I’ll put a single bit of tape over your mouths – don’t worry, Mrs Bridges is waiting to do the same to me and Lisa in a minute.”
“Nothing in our mouths?”
“Not this time,” Cassie said, “for your own safety more than anything. So, get comfy, and then put your lips together.”
I wriggled down on the bed, and then felt the tape as it was smoothed down on my lips. “Sleep well,” Cassie said as she turned the light off, and I wondered how long it wo…
Next thing I knew, the sun was shining, and Cassie was cutting the tape from my wrist and ankles.
“Good morning,” she said as I looked over to see Louise was already free. “Stretch out, and then have a shower – I have a surprise waiting for you both after that.”

The first day is very informative for Louise and Fiona. For one thing, they saw the insides of the Mansion, and the grounds of the Manor. And of course, they got to do it with their hands tied behind their back! Not the most thorough one, but I suspect that it’s just the beginning.
So Lisa is here, and Angela will be coming the next day! So who else would come? Alicia would be on Sunday. Jenny? Mary? Cathy? Pippa? Hazel and Claire?
It would be nice if the two newbies get to meet as much of the gang as possible. Sadly, meeting Heidi and Cindy and Natalie isn’t possible. Fortunately, she saw them on that DVD from a scene in Road Trip! Now she won’t ever doubt Patty when she tells tales that seem too tall to believe!
The game of tag they played wasn’t much of a handicap for the veterans. Remember that they played with their mouths gagged, and their knees tied up, and their bodies tied with more rope than they can imagine ! Here, it’s just a single strip of plastic! But with Louise and Fiona there, it’s better this way. I don’t think it’s a good idea to let them run with their knees tied up on their very first try! But I’m sure Suzie and Patty are planning on introducing that particular type of fun!
I just hope they get tied up really soon with lots and lots of rope!

This are minor quibbles, but...

I think you meant, "our hands behind our back" or "our hands tied behind our backs"

That should be "tightly" I think.

> KP Presents wrote:“Now, I’ll put a single bit of tape over your mouths – don’t worry, Mrs Bridges is waiting to do the same to me and Louise in a minute.”

Cassie's sleeping with Lisa, and Cassie did Louise's gag, so that should be "me and Lisa in a minute"

Once again, KP, thank you for this.
I am looking forward to Friday’s activities. It should be a lot of fun! I am looking forward to Jenny and Angela’s arrival, and of course, what surprise Cassie has in store for them!
I’m glad Louise and Fiona met Cassie! They should find out for themselves what a great girl Patty’s cousin is!
If they think Thursday is fun, then wait till they experience their first full day! They would be tied up most of the day, I think, and they’ll enjoy it! I wonder how Fiona felt being tied up with plastic ties in comparison with rope? I think she’ll like rope better!

Thanks for the fixes! A couple of requests here; As you've celebrated Jenny, Cassie, and Suzie's birthdays in past stories, how about a party for
Alicia? Secondly what if The Gentlemen Robbers were to hit Wissenden Hall? They might not instantly connect it with the Holderness Family.
It would be intriguing for them to observe what they had a hand in starting and to see their reactions to Patty and Rachel!

Here's a suggestion; When our new friends dads are introduced, how about Gerald "Gerry" Kerr and Raymond "Ray" Hudson?

Well, we both headed for the shower, but when we came back in we were surprised to see two sets of clothes laid out for us – clothes that I had never seen before.
“Hey,” Patty said as she put her head round the door, “we all thought you might like to dress up today, so I brought some of the clothes I got from Granny Miranda over. Try them on.”
As she went off, I picked up the light pink jumper, and felt how soft it was in my hands, before I put it on. It had a round neck and the sleeves came just down past my elbows. I was even more fascinated by the skirt – it was pink, and long, and it had a picture of a white poodle on the front, with the leash coming up to the waist. So I put that on, and the stretchy pink belt around my waist, before I tried to tie the pink scarf round my neck as well.
While I was doing this, Louise was putting no her outfit as well. She was wearing a white blouse, with the cuffs folded back, and a peach coloured skirt that also had a white poodle on the front. She was tying a pink ribbon in her hair, and also had a blue sweater over her shoulders.
We both sat on the bed and put on some ankle socks – mine white, hers pink – and these funny shoes with black and white panels, kinda like the shoes you have to wear when you go bowling.
As we walked out of the bedroom, we saw Cassie coming from another bedroom, along with Lisa. “Hey there,” she said as she saw us, “looking good today.”
“Are we all wearing the same skirts,” Louise said as she looked at their outfits. Lisa was wearing a light pink cardigan over a matching top, and a long grey skirt with a pink and grey poodle, while Cassie had on a white jumper like mine, and a pink skirt with a black cat on it. She had her scarf tied in her hair.
“We’re all wearing similar outfits,” Cassie said, “Lisa has borrowed one of mine, and Rachel one of Patty’s as well. Come on – I’m ready for breakfast.”
As we walked into the room, we saw Suzie was already sitting at the table, her bound ankles swinging as she sat tied to the chair back as we were last night. She was wearing a white blouse with a flower embroidered on her left shoulder, and sleeves that came just over her elbows, and the same style of long skirt as us. Hers was pink with a white poodle.
“Good morning,” Bobby said as we approached the table. “Please, be seated and I’ll get you secured for breakfast.”
“Patty really wants us to do this, doesn’t she,” I said to Louise as I sat down and raised my arms, while my waist was tied to the chair.
“Looks like that way – where are they anyway,” Louise said as Bobby worked his way round, but that question was answered quickly as Patty and Rachel came in, giggling and talking to watch other. Both of them were wearing white blouses with elbow length sleeves, the same long skirts as us, white socks and black shoes, with a scarf tied round their necks. Patty wore a blue skirt with two white cats on it, and a pink scarf, while Rachel’s skirt was red with a little black dog, and her scarf red.
Once we were all tied to the chairs, our ankles tied and our chairs pushed in, Mrs Bridges and Bobby helped us all to have some cereal and orange juice. While we were eating that, we could smell sausages cooking.
“Good morning.”
I turned round to see an older girl, about eighteen I guessed, walk in, her long blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail and tied off with a pink scarf. She wore a charcoal grey blouse over a dusky pink top, the front of the blouse tied at her belly, and a long pink skirt with a black and pink poodle on it.
As she sat down and took some cereal, Suzie said “Hi Angela – this is Fiona and Louise. Girls, Angela is my oldest cousin, and she’s come to look after us today.”
“Well, well – is it poodle skirt day today?”
Lady Holderness smiled as she came in and sat down.
“How is grandfather today,” Angela said as she looked at her.
“Having breakfast in bed,” she said as she poured some coffee. “Well, don’t stand on ceremony – eat up.”
As we ate, I looked at Angela and Lady Holderness talking. You could see the resemblance, especially in the eyes, as they talked about her plans before her exam results came – whatever they were.
Once we had finished, we were untied from the chair, told to go and brush our teeth, and then come down to the library. As we came in, we found Bobby and Angela waiting for us, and I saw the boxes on the floor beside them.
“Now then,” Angela said, “what we want to do this morning is let Fiona and Louise see some of the things this lot have been up to in the past – without interruption, so we’re going to make sure you are nice and comfortable and cannot get free. Bobby?”
“Here,” he said as he handed each of us a pair of sponges, Patty and Suzie grinning as they took them. “Hold these in your fists, and then hold your hands out.” We watched as one by one our fists were covered in silver tape, then by a pair of socks, and finally the tops of the socks taped to our arms.
“So we’re going to be tied the same way we were at your place, Suzie,” I said, smiling as Suzie turned and nodded while crossing her wrists behind her back.
We all did the same, and I smiled as I felt the rope holding my wrists together, and then going round my waist, before another length of rope was tied round my stomach and lower arms. I twisted them round, happy they were so secure, until all seven of us were secured in the same way.
“Angie,” Suzie said, “may I have the extra band of rope please?”
Angela looked at us and said “I don’t know if Suzie or the others have explained the rule about the extra chest rope – it can only be tied on if me or another adult is here, and only if everyone agrees. If that is the case, it will be me and not Bobby who ties it. So, do you all want it?”
I watched as Lisa, Suzie and Cassie all nodded quickly. Patty and Rachel looked at each other, and then nodded as well, while I looked at Louise.
“We won’t be spoil sports,” I said, “so we all want it.”
“Very well,” Angela said as she took more ropes, and one by one we had our upper arms tied to our sides above our chests. As the rope tightened around my arms, I felt it rubbing over my body – it was still a funny feeling, but I didn’t mind it. I could see the others were happy to have it as well, so I wasn’t going to complain.
We all then sat down in the chairs, and watched as our ankles were tied together over our socks, before our skirts were lifted up a little and our legs tied together below our knees. By the time Bobby and Angela had finished, we were very securely secured.
“Now, if you’re going to be tied this thoroughly, you need to be gagged the same way,” Angela said, so we all opened our mouths wide as a cloth was pushed gently in, and then a strip of knotted towelling pulled between our lips.
“Sttggntbfnn” Louise said, and I nodded in agreement as Angela produced some triangles of cloth.
“We’re going to be using this stuff,” she said as she held up a roll of silver tape, the same stuff that covered out hands, “but it can hurt and damage your hair, so this goes over your hair first.” She and Bobby worked along the line, Angela tying the cloth over our hair as Bobby wound the silver tape tightly round our heads.
“Now, for the folded scarf oooooo…”
I heard a phone ringing, and for a moment Angela looked as if something was bothering her. “Bobby,” she said quietly, “would you finish gagging them please? I’ll be right back after I answer this call.”
We all watched her as she walked out, stumbling a little as she answered her phone, and then looked at Bobby.
“Don’t ask me,” he said as he tied a folded scarf over the tape band of each of us, and then tied a folded scarf over our heads, tying the ends together under our chins. When I saw Louise, her eyes the only thing visible between the scarves, I had to laugh – even if it was muffled.
“Sorry about that,” Angela said as she came back in. “Now, Bobby, do you have the film of two years ago?”
“Right here,” Bobby said, and we watched as Suzie said “Urrggnnnlffshhss.”
“Now this took place when all the girls gathered with their mums and grannies for a day of – well, you’ll see,” Angela said as we sat back and watched the film.
As we did so, we recognised Heidi and Cindy, but Angela introduced us to the various aunts, mums, dads and uncles. I was amazed at how good they were at running – sorry, jumping round in the ropes, as they played out on the lawn.
“Hwcmcmrnntthtrrrr,” Louise said as she looked at Bobby.
“I was busy elsewhere,” he said, “but believe me, every time I watch this I wish I had been there.”
I could see Cassie looking at him as he said this, and her eyes told me all I needed to know. She really did have the hots for him!
“Whrruruu,” I said as I nudged Lisa, who was sitting next to me.
“Ddndnknthmthn,” she mumbled, but I could tell she was as fascinated by this as Louise and I were.
Once the film came to an end, Angela said “Would you like to see one more, or would you like to play a game.”
“Gmmm” Suzie said as she and Cassie jumped up and started to jump around the room. Lisa, Patty and Rachel joined in, and Louise watched with me as their skirts rose and fell with each jump.
“Cmmnnn,” Louise then said as we shuffled forward and then stood up, jumping slowly at first, and then joining the others. I felt the skirt rising and falling as well, and was worried if something else was showing – but the others didn’t seem to care, so soon I didn’t either.
The other funny thing was the extra band of rope around my upper arms and chest. It hadn’t bothered me too much when sitting down, but as we jumped round it rubbed against my body, and – well, it was a really funny feeling. I mean, Cassie and Suzie and Lisa seemed to love it, as they closed their eyes and seemed to be humming in unison, and the others were happy as well.
It just felt so… Oh I wish I could explain how it felt!
“I think we need to play a game of hide and seek,” Angela said as she opened the door. “Bobby, just make sure if any go upstairs, they don’t get hurt.”
“Got it,” Bobby said as he went out, and we all jumped out of the library, going our separate ways. Lisa and the older girls started to push themselves up the stairs, and I could see the rope around their legs as they did so.
Patty and Rachel jumped down the corridor, while Louise and I decided to make our way up the stairs as well. We sat on the bottom stair and pushed ourselves up, before getting ourselves back onto our feet and hopping into our bedroom.
The closet door was open, so Louise hid in there as I closed the door to as best I could, and then hid myself on the other side of the bed. I kept as quiet as I could, as still as I could, hoping it would be a while before I was found.
Well, I got lucky – Angela came in, found Louise, and then left with her jumping in front of her. As I lay there, I wondered how long I should stay there before…
“Hey.”
Rolling onto my back, I looked up and groaned as I saw Bobby waving at me. “Good choice,” he said as he helped me to stand up, “hiding in plain sight. Come on – the others are waiting in the play room.”
I jumped to the room to see the other six standing there with Angela. “Well,” she said as she looked at her watch, “it’s nearly time for lunch. We’re going to untie you and take the…”
She suddenly looked past us for a moment as she bit her lower lip.
“You all right Angie,” Bobby said as she looked at her, before Angela gasped “Yes – yes I’m fine. As I was saying, we’ll untie you and take the gags off while you eat.”
We all nodded as we were united, the pressure coming off my chest as that rope was removed, and then the scarves taken off before Bobby cut the tape away. We all then headed for the toilet, and came down to the dining room.
As we came in, I saw two more girls had turned up. One was about Bobby’s age, and was wearing a cream coloured cardigan over a matching top, and a long powder blue skirt that had flamingos on the front. She also had a red scarf with white spots tied round her neck.
She was standing behind a girl the same age as Cassie and Suzie, tying some rope round her waist to hold her to the chair. She had on a white short sleeved blouse with a black dog on one side, and a pink skirt with a black dog on the front. The skirt had a black belt, and she had a matching scarf tied as a band in her brown hair.
“Hey Suzie,” she said as we came in, “thanks for inviting me this afternoon.”
“No problem, Pippa,” Suzie said, “This is Fiona and Louise, the friends of Patty I told you about. Girls, meet Pippa and Jenny, Cassie’s big sister.”
