- I put this story in the PG-17 section to be on the safe side.
- Only girls get tied up in this story, so if you're looking for guys being tied up, this is not for you.
- There are some elements of fantasy/supernatural in this story.
- This story is probably going to be (a lot) longer than my other stories. It will take some time to write each part since I'm busy with school, though.
All right, on to the story now.

**********************************************************************************************
It was a dark and misty evening. Despite it already being near closing time for the shops, many people were still walking through the busy streets of the city. Three young women, Lucy, Vanessa and Kate, were among them. They were enjoying their last bit of free time before their second semester in their second year of college.
They had already seen most of the interesting stores on the main street, so they decided to explore the nearby alleys. Many quirky little shops could be found there. It was one of those that caught their eye.
The store was a really small and unremarkable one. If it weren't for Lucy's keen sight, they would've walked right past it. The thing that had caught her attention was the single life-sized doll standing behind the window. It was the perfect depiction of a woman in her twenties. Her eyes were strangely lively. However, it was definitely a doll.
“Let's go inside and see if there are more,” Kate said.
“But don't you think this shop is a bit strange?” Lucy asked.
“The Doll Maker's House,” Vanessa read the name of the store out loud. “It's clearly a place where they make dolls. Very life-like ones, apparently. I'm curious as well.”
It was two against one. Lucy shrugged.
“Well, guess we can take a quick peek.”
It was rather gloomy inside. In the faint light, they found many more dolls standing against the walls. All of them were young women like the first one. The girls were fascinated by their eerily realistic design.
“There are some more deeper in,” an old man whispered behind them.
The three girls let out a shriek. They hadn't noticed him standing behind the wooden counter.
“My deepest apologies for startling you.” The man bowed. “I am the owner of this humble store. If you'd like, please check out my masterpieces in the back.”
“N-No, it was our fault for not paying attention,” Kate apologized. “Come on girls, let's go check out the rest of the dolls.”
When they got to the back of the store, they were in for a real surprise. Indeed, the dolls in there were even more realistic, but that wasn't all... These figures were all restrained in some manner or form. There were girls who simply had their wrists tied behind their back. Others were mummified in tape. A few had been tied in a hogtie. Some were fully clothed, but most were not. They were stripped down to their underwear or were wearing nothing at all. Their faces varied from looks of terror to looks of intense pleasure. Some seemed resigned to their fate while others were forever struggling against their bonds, yelling out in their gags.
“Oh my god,” Vanessa whispered. “This guy is ridiculously into this kind of thing.”
Contrary to how most people would react, these girls weren't freaked out by the sight. Of course, they were overcome with astonishment when they first saw the tied-up dolls, but instead of getting the hell out of there, they stayed to admire the work.
“How about we try out some of those positions when we get back?” Kate asked.
Yes, these three young women were all into bondage. They even tied each other up at times, although they didn't go to such extremes as some of the dolls depicted. Each and every one of the imaginary situations made them feel all tingly.
“So... you like it?” the old man asked. He had sneaked up behind them without warning.
They shrieked again. This time it was Lucy who said something first.
“Well... um...” Just like her friends, her face had turned beet red.
“I take that as a yes.” The man grinned. "I wish you good luck."
Before they knew it, the girls felt the floor disappear below them. They fell into a deep, black hole. Their vision blurred. Everything went dark.

Please tell me what you thought about the first part and what you think is going to happen. I already have the setting planned out, but I'm curious if someone will already be able to guess it from only this first part.
