Chapter 1 Introducing Diana
Clouds. They appear on the sky as random dots on a blue, pink, or even orange sky and fly with time. Clouds is like time, you can see it, but never touch it, you know about it, but can never complete understand it. it flies away from you, but suddenly stops and then continue again.

Time has probably nothing to do with Diana's secret, but time has something to do with the thoughts of the secret. She was so sick of every bloody idiot saying she was using her time thinking too much. It was always the same, over and over. It never seemed like it would ever stop. -you think too much. You're wasting your life on thinking. You always seem so stressed out, stop thinking and live life fully. Stop wasting your time on silly, foolish thoughts, get a life, and so on. But did they know? No, they didn't have a clue about what she was spending her time thinking about, something that meant a lot to her. It was the big thing for her, even if it was embarressing and she would probably never admitt to anyone that she liked the thought of being tied up. Of course she had done it a couple of times, but it was all alone, no one to help her with the old ropes she had hidden secretly under her bed, no one to give her that little extra she needed for the full experience. Not that she wanted that either. It would be just embarressing, humiliating. So the thing was, she wanted to be tied up by some people, but yet she didn't want to. She had a slight memory of some friendly tie up with a friend though. It was faint, but somewhat she had managed to keep a pretty good memory of it. She had been around five, six at that time and they had been playing spiderman and some evil guy was going to capture spiderman, stupidly, but of course it was only a reason to play some tie up without her friend noticing. They didn't have contact now though, which was probably the best. So yeah, she had a reason to think and spend lots of time thinking about doing one of those games. That's why no one would ever understand, keeping the heavy secret as a hard lump in her chest all the time, and thought she would burst any minute. She was going to keep her secret, no one knew about and it was going to stay that way forever and ever. A cool breeze stroke against her bare neck and arms. Only wearing a grey, baggy T-shirt in the nice summer weather. The streets was calm for once, and silence, only to be interupted by the car noise once in a while. Diana looked down at her scruffy, blue jeans, this was totally her tomboy style. Brown that was cut down to her neck, and long in the front, giving her round face a slighter round look. Her hair fit her blue eye color perfectly. "Diana, wait! Hey, wait a minute" The first thing that met her as she looked to the left was two sparkling blue eyes, a big joyfully grin and a mess of blonde hair. It was Cain. It had been a long time since they talked, and she had to admitt that she had missed his joyfully face hiding so much laughter and happiness. He nearly sparkled delightfully. "This is funny, I have been talking about you. Speak of the devil" Cain pointed to a couple standing a few feet behind him, one boy with dark hair curling down his neck, with brown, deep eyes and a cocky smile. The girl had dark hair as well, typically teen make up, and a thoughtful expression. They both seemed very nice and they shook hands. First time Cain and Diana had met was the time she went with her mom and dad to the beach. it was going to be funny to have a whole week on the beach, borrowing a house. Unluckily for Diana it was not as much fun as she first had pictured it and soon got tired of being around her parents all day. That's when she met Cain. They had quickly grew fond of each other, and odd enough it seemed like he agreed to all her views of life without an argue. "It's nice to meet you" Said Diana with one of her most trusted smiles, a white and shiny one. "The pleasure is all ours" replied the girl that was called Holly, grinning at her friend, Micheal. "We was on our way to Micheal's house now. we have nothing to do. Do you want to hang around for a while?" asked Holly and shook away some of her long black hair from her face. "Why not? Like I have something better to do" Diana shrugged and they went off. Cain had to be happy now, not that she could not face away the fact that she was happy as well as him. First, because she had been bored and only wanted her thoughts off the stupid subject of tie ups, secondly Cain and her had not been talking for a while and it was fun to be around him. Not to mention meeting new people.
Chapter 2 TUGs?
-------*
They were all sitting at the far end of the kitchen at a dark brown, wooden table with four chairs. And the television in the living room was standing on with bakground noises to their lively chatter. Luckily for Diana after a few moment of talking and a few jokes the three of them had managed to break the ice and Cain looked satefied enough. The window in the kitchen was half open, the frames white to the blue wall decorated with white flowers that spread across the walls from floor to ceiling. It was a reason for them sitting in the kitchen and not in Micheal's room. First, they could feel free to talk wherever they wanted because his parents were not home for the moment. Secondly, he shared his room with his little brother, so well, if his brother came busting into the room, the older kids wouldn't have any privacy left. Obviously it was too warm outside to even have a sit down chilling. Right now they discussed what they should do, but they all found it hard to figure out something funny to do, so after a while Micheal spoke up; "It's too hot running around outside, we would sweat to death in seconds. So we should think about something inside, like playing cards" Holly giggled slightly and shook her head making her hair fly softly and freely around her face. Cain didn't seem too happy about the card game suggestion, and he shook his head as well, leaving the last comment to Diana who didn't really know. What other options did they have left. They had already discussed the television use, and baking. Cain stood up as he leaned his palms onto the table, eyeing the three of them with a small smile. "You know what? Why don't you try to figure out what to do and I'll go get the drinks in the cellar so we can cool down a little?" The three agreed to that, Micheal with a small smile, while Holly just shrugged. To Diana it was a fair offer. Cain didn't really have any good suggestions and was obviously too bored and lazy to even care, so he went off and the three of them was left alone to the silence once again. Diana thought back, and thought she had seen something in his eyes as his eyes had trailed over to her. As if he had some kind of a trick. Something secret. She suddenly forgot about that as Holly spoke. "So, Micheal? Diana? You two have some other suggestions. They both shook their heads and again came to a silence, it was not really akward though, more like just a plane silence. "I know" Said Micheal after four more minutes of silence. Both the girls eyed him quietly, both with the same wondering expression. He looked over at Holly, the to Diana, smiling. "Let's do a TUG" "What is that?" Diana asked. Even if she were into some tie up game, she never had heard the name of it before and didn't even know what he was talking about. Holly and him exchanged a look and Holly seemed a bit hesitant, while Micheal seemed more exicted to his suggestion. He didn't answer Diana as he looked away from his friend, just got up and motioned with his hand for them to follow him. They went through the living room where the televsion was still on. Diana couldn't stop herself from being curious, but by the hesitant look on Holly's face she wasn't sure if she wanted to know what it was, yet again, she asked, but this time Holly. "What's a TUG?" Her eyes flashed of curiousity, and mirrored her feelings pretty well, but Holly just shook her head. "You will see soon enough" And joined Micheal to his and his little brother's room. She walked a few steps into the room eyeing him still with a curious expression as he crouched down by his bed and picked up a few coils of rope, turning to them. He streatched the rope out, raising an eyebrow, feeling the weight of it, looking Diana up and down with an expression that said everything, but still he said it out loud with a crooked smile. "Do you take the challenge" And just as he said it, she could nearly feel how her palms started sweating and her body froze.
Chapter 3 the embarrassment
-------*
He stood there and grinned with the rope in his hands, stretching it out to its fully length and Diana was not quite sure if she dared. Suddenly, her head filled with chaos, she could not think, felt sweat trickle down to her eyebrows. The thing was, she did not want seem like a coward, but this ... The feeling of being trapped grabbed her and clamped itself tightly against her body. Her cheeks were warm of blush. So embarrassing. But she could not stop now, not when he stood there and expected a yes. "Diana. You don't need to do it if you think it's scary," said Holly lowly and placed, a warm hand on her shoulder. Diana shook her head slightly. She had to do it. "I accept the challenge" She said firmly with a hint of a tremor in her voice. "Really?" Michael went to Holly and Diana and he looked quite happy. As he had hoped for just that answer. She nodded. "If you feel it's compulsory, don't do it" Holly glanced at Diana with furrowed brows. It looked like she was worried or not quite liked the idea that Michael would tie their new friend up. "It's fine" she replied Holly and gave her a strained smile that looked more like a grimace. "I can't go back on my word now" He slid over to Diana's side, let her feel the rope material over her bare arm, before he moved so he was standing behind her. "Michael, please be kind to her. She has not done it before, you know" Diana could barely hear her friend talked igjenom roar in his ears. The pulse was so high that she could hear it. She had been doing it before, but that was alone, but she had not wanted to tell them about it. It was very secret. "I promise I will be nice and make it simple for her" he replied with a slick voice. Maybe she should have told them about her secret, it just felt like it was too late to tell them that now. Her palms sweated and she rubbed them repeatedly over her gray, scruffy jeans. Now she steeled herself for what was to come. First she felt Micheal's warm hand around her right wrist and she glanced over her shoulder to see what he did. It was not easy to see what he did. He first did a simple knot around one of her wrist, but left a bit of tail behind. Then he began to unload the long end of the rope around both her wrists, he then wrapped the long end in the middle of both her hands, around the rope to split her hands, but also to cinch the rope down. He said he did this so that it would be harder to get loose. After that, they began to approach the end of Michaels masterpiece, he tied both the loose ends together at first a simple knot, a figure eight knot and a knot in the end she had never seen before, but that kept the figure eight knot down. Diana kept her arms all still and Michael gave her arm a gentle clap. It looked like he was very proud of his work till now. "Now?" he eyed her up and down with a satified grin after he had walked over to her front, and it looked like he expected something from her. She tried not to meet his gaze, didn't want to. She was embarrassed and it didn't make it any better as he eyed her up and down like she were a masterpiece of royal work. "Shouldn't you test the strenght of the ropes now?" he raised an eyebrow, trying to catch her gaze with his. Diana had lost her tongue, she didn't know what to say. "Maybe she wants to get used to the feeling, Michael" said Holly as Diana's heart raced in her chest. "Sorry" he stuttered and took a step back. "I was not thinking," She gave him a small pat on the shoulder and grinned at him. They began to talk frivolously, Diana had zero attention.
Chapter 4 Nightmare or fun?
-------*
She spent the next ten to five minutes to find out how she was going to extricate herself from the rope and eventually she felt more confident and not nearly as embarrassed as five minutes ago. She tried to pulled her hands apart, bent and squirmed to get loose, but it was no use. It just didn't want to get off, but it was when she came to think that she could try get a little slack on the rope. After a while, she found out that such a thing did not work out either, Holly let her gaze over to where Diana stood struggling. And just as it was, he followed her gaze. His mouth opened in a half grin. "Looks like she finally has begun to thaw." He said. Holly nodded and they started talking again. Diana sighed softly. things did not work out as she had thought. Why did he make it so hard for her? Finally, she gave up and sat down on the floor with legs crossed. That was when she became the center of attention again and she grimaced. "It's not working.." she sulked and pulled the rope again. "Giving up?" He asked with a evil, humorious smile. Quickly she shook her head. "Never" she grunted. "I will not give up until I've gotten out of the rope" Diana felt a hint of defiance in her voice and it mirrored her expresion perfectly. She binoculars onto Holly who tried to hide her laughter, before she directed her attention back to Michael who had eyes that sparkled with charm and joy. "Oh, Diana." cooed Michael . "Shall we go down and find Cain so we can drink some refreshing lemonade and eat cookies?" His eyes sparkled with humor as he glanced at Diana, who sat quite helpless and was unable to free herself from the rope that Michael had tied her with. She stuck here tongue childishly out at him, but really she shared the same joy as the other two. "Yes, I think it's a good idea, is not it, Diana?" Holly laughed lightly. "Have fun" replied Diana with a shrug of her shoulder and kept on struggling She had no intention of coming down with them with her hands tied behind her back. Not a chance she would let Cain see that. She noticed how both of the friends stared at each other as if they shared a secret together. Again they was plotting against her and she didn't like the way Michael suddenly glared at her with a evil smirk and Holly walking over to her, placing both hands on her shoulders. "But it's not fun without you" she said to Diana as she locked her eyes on her's with a weird smile. "No!" said Diana abrubtly, leaned back to get away when she understood the *danger*. It was funny, but she didn't want them to have her down so Cain would see it. Maybe it had been a bad idea after all. Michael went over to the two girls and grabbed Diana's legs as Holly wrapped her arms right above her friend's chest. "Don't even think about it. I'm not joining" She started kicking, but they just laughed, it was to no availe since they were two and she was one and bound. "Come on. It's not that bad. We will feed you" But the fighting soon stopped and they put her gently back on the floor as they heard footsteps coming up the stairs from above. And the only person that could be, was Cain. Diana looked over her shoulder, both Michael and Holly had turned around to stare at the door which was opened and two blue eyes blinket at the scene. Now she just wanted to hide and the blush rose in her cheeks once again. The last thing she had wanted was for Cain to see her like this.
