## Nancy Drew's Toughest Case: Babysitting! (CH 2 ADDED)

Post by Xanadia » Thu Sep 15, 2011 10:51 pm

Note - Hi everyone. This is my first story here, I've been a member for a while now but only posted a couple times and then was gone for a while before coming back and lurking. This will be a mostly lighthearted, mummification and excessive tie-ups themed storyline featuring the character of Nancy Drew trying to solve a case while looking after two mysterious kids who have access to way more binding materials than any 11-year-olds should have, haha.
There will probably be 3-4 chapters in total, this first one will be the longest since I can't help but write a ton of background stuff and such. So hopefully you folks enjoy it despite the length, or if you want you can just stick to the tie-up scene itself, either way! I like to at least try to establish a background story of sorts (or in the case of a Nancy Drew story, an actual mystery she's trying to solve), so even it is an obviously thin and transparent storyline designed to get Nancy wrapped up, it's better than nothing!
Hopefully you're all familiar with Ms. Nancy Drew (being on this site you'd better be ), so not much more add except that I'm not using any particular iteration of Nancy here, so she can be whichever version of the teenage snoop you like the best or heck, make up your own. To me, I'm just sticking with the most recent and have Emma Roberts from the film playing Nancy here, because well, I think Emma Roberts is freaking gorgeous, why else?
Right, enough rambling (told you I write a lot of words, didn't I). I just want to say that I'm glad to contribute something here, any responses or comments are greatly, greatly appreciated, and if you're interested, I'm also looking to take requests to write a couple stories for people here. Just check the topic in the requests section, and either reply there or PM me.
Thanks again, hope you enjoy! Prologue and first chapter below:
PROLOGUE (aka getting all the background stuff out of the way, heh)
As he always seemed to be doing, Nancy Drew's father, attorney and businessman Carson Drew, told her he would be away on business for several weeks, this time traveling to the coastal town of Rocky Shores. With summer vacation in swing and the mystery situation at home looking dismal right now, Nancy had begged her father to let her come along, since if you can't find a good mystery in an old coastal town named Rocky Shores, you probably just aren't looking long enough. Her father had eventually agreed, letting Nancy come along on the condition that she watch over his client's two children over the several-day period they would be spending in a nearby city working on the case.
Nancy happily agreed, and once they arrived in Rocky Shores she met with her father's client, Mr. Kilpatrick, and his 11-year-old twins, Ryan and Jessica. Nancy then spent several days sleuthing independently. It didn't take her long to find out that there had been many mysterious happenings centered around the local lighthouse. (Sadly the writer was not creative enough to decide WHAT specifically they were, but he assures you that they were indeed mysterious). Even better, according to local legends, the large Kilpatrick estate had been built by a eccentric genius many years ago, who had fitted the house with several trap doors and hidden rooms, and even possibly a series of underground tunnels leading to the lighthouse! Her babysitting job would give her the perfect cover to look through the house and see if the legends were true...
CHAPTER 1 (aka the really really long one that goes on and on to establish what's going on before FINALLY Nancy gets tied up)
Nancy Drew walked through one of the old estate's many hallways, trying to make note of anything out of the ordinary. Nancy had searched through many mysterious old houses in the past, although this one was a bit different. One one hand, she'd never been able to stroll through the house in her pyjamas without worrying about tresspassing, but on the other hand, she couldn't let the lack of urgency cause her to miss a clue. The house was enormous indeed, and although her father and Mr. Kilpatrick would be away for four more days, she still needed to balance her sleuthing with her actual babysitting duties. Besides that, Mr. Kilpatrick had told both her and the twins that he'd prefer them to stay out of the basement, and she didn't want to let the kids find her there and tell their father later.
That was why nighttime was ideal. She'd sent Ryan and Jessica to bed an hour ago, and had checked in to make sure they were asleep before sneaking on down to the lower level of the house and beginning her search. She thought her first night babysitting had gone well. She'd gotten to know Ryan and Jessica a bit and both twins had seemed like nice enough kids, although she didn't think they'd opened up to her quite yet. Nancy had suggested some activities at dinner, but they'd just said "maybe later" and she would just check in on them from time to time during the evening. She'd handed out some goodnatured threats a couple times when she thought they had been getting a bit too rowdy and mischievous, just to remind them who was in charge. The second time, Nancy had told them that if they got much louder they might find themselves bound and gagged to their beds that night, and from the way the twins laughed at that Nancy hoped that she'd broken the ice between them.
Now that they were asleep though, Nancy had the place to herself, and she did not intend to waste it. She'd gone through several of the rooms at the far end of the estate, marveling at how big this place was and how she'd need a couple days to make a thorough search, when while exploring a small storage room, the lights clicked off and she was suddenly plunged into darkness.
"What?" Nancy said, whirling around and seeing nothing. "Who's there?"
She didn't get an answer, but she did hear the door closing, possibly leaving her trapped! Had she been on an ordinary mission, Nancy would of course have had a flashlight on her, and she silently cursed herself for going snooping while pyjama-clad and barefoot.
Still, this was no time to panic. She just needed to feel her way towards the door, keeping her ears open. She reached the doorknob and then, just before grasping it, the door opened again, hitting Nancy square in the nose.
"OW!" Nancy said. Started, she fell back, mostly in surprise as she hadn't been hit too hard, and then the lights turned on again.
"Gotcha!" she heard, and saw Ryan and Jessica standing in the doorway, giggling.
----------
"What were you two doing out of bed?!" Nancy demanded a few minutes later. "You should both be sleeping at this hour?" After first feeling embarrassed by the situation and then making sure her nose was fine, Nancy had marched the twins into the kitchen. Ryan and Jessica were both tall for their age and still scrawny, with mousy brown hair and a smattering of freckles on their noses.
The two of them looked at each other mischievously, then back to Nancy. "We heard noises downstairs," Jessica finally said. She was the quieter of the two, and kept her hair in a ponytail just past her shoulders.
"Yeah," Ryan added. He had messy hair falling down around his eyes and ears, and was clearly the dominant one of the duo. "What were YOU doing down there, huh Nancy? Huh?" He was clearly enjoying having caught the babysitter red-handed. "Dad totally told you not to go down there, same as us!"
Nancy thought quickly. "I was just checking down there, to make sure everything was safe. Now it's time for the two of you to get back to bed, NOW."
The twins looked at each other and grinned again. "We're gonna tell!"
"No!" Nancy burst out. The two brats had her, all right. Their smiles told her that much. She just needed to figure out what the cost of their silence would be.
"Alright, kids, you win. I'm sure we can work out something to just keep this between us, can't we?"
Nancy let Ryan and Jessica whisper to each other for a minute, their smiles just going wider, before Ryan turned.
"OK, Nancy. We won't tell, but you've gotta let us tie you up!"
"What?!" Nancy said. That had been the LAST answer she'd expected. She could deal with later bedtimes or something, but she didn't know about this one. "Look kids, that's silly. How'd you like something like unlimited video game time?"
Jessica spoke up. "Well you threatened to tie us up when WE broke the rules."
"Yeah," Ryan added. "So that's totally fair. What, are you scared you couldn't escape?"
Hah, Nancy thought at that remark. She'd been tied up enough times that she didn't fear a couple of kids. "Believe me, I could Ryan, no. Let's work something else out, OK?"
With Nancy's boast, the kids took another look at each other and then whispered to each other again. "Alright babysitter," Ryan said. "If we tied you up and you get out, we'll also tell you what we know about the secret rooms!"
Nancy's eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean, secret rooms?"
"Well, what else would be looking for down there?" Ryan shrugged. "We've heard all the old legends and stuff. So whaddaya think? We don't tell dad AND you get to look around as much as you want!"
Nancy ran the plan over in her head. With Ryan and Jessica knowing nothing about her experience with ropes, she was certain she could get out of any knots an 11-year-old could tie, and with the total freedom to search the house and the clues they could give her....
"Alright, you win." she finally said, smiling slyly at the twins. "Hurry up and let's get this done with, because once I get free the two of you are heading straight back to bed!"
The twins beamed at each other and Nancy. "Alright," Ryan said. "Let's go back down to where we caught you downstairs, Jessica, grab some rope from dad's work room."
---
Once they were back downstairs and Jessica had arrived with two lengths of white rope, Nancy grinned at the twins, thinking that she might have some fun herself showing these kids who was in charge. Maybe she'd even repeat the favor tomorrow. "OK kids, do your worst!"
They both giggled at that. "You bet!" Ryan said, taking the shorter length of rope. "Alright, uh, turn around and hands behind you!"
Nancy did as instructed, and soon felt the rope wrapping around and around her wrists several times, pressing them together. The kid definitely knew a thing or two, but his ropework felt clumsy and hurried to Nancy, and she was fairly certain she could work herself free. Not his first time doing this for sure she thought.
After he finished winding, Ryan wrapped the last bit of rope over the rest in a rudimentary cinch, then knotted it off and stood back, clearly pleased with himself. Nancy shuffled a bit, trying to play up her helplessness.
Ryan took the longer rope from Jessica, then told Nancy to lie down on her stomach. She smiled and complied, and he began winding it around her ankles to tie her bare feet together. It was pretty much the same situation as her wrists, although Nancy was privately glad that he'd tied the ropes over her pajama pants to give her skin an extra layer of cushioning. Once knotted, he stepped away and confidently asked "Still think you can escape, Nancy?"
Nancy rolled onto her side, twisting her body to put on a bit of a show. "Well I dunno, Ryan, we'll see. Remember, I've got half an hour to get out. Where's Jessica?" She couldn't see the other twin from her position on the floor.
"Oh, she just went to get a couple things." Ryan said. Just then, Jessica did arrive, passing a shapeless bundle to Ryan that Nancy didn't recognize as a bedsheet until he'd shaken it out and laid it down on the floor.
"What is THAT for?" Nancy asked, perplexed.
Jessica giggled. "Did she think that the ropes were it?" she asked her brother.
Ryan just smiled in response, as he maneuvered the sheet to lie next to Nancy on the floor. "Come on Nancy, I mean even Jessica could get out from that! It has to be a bit of a challenge!" He folded one of the edges over so the sheet would match the length of Nancy's body from shoulders down to ankles. "The sheet's like our secret ultimate weapon, once you're tied up in it that'll be it."
Have I ever been wrapped up in a sheet before? Nancy quickly thought. It was hard to keep track, but she thought it might have happened once. It would make it harder to maneuver around, but as long as she still got her hands free she'd be fine. "Alright kids. Let's see the secret ultimate weapon."
The twins clapped at that, and then Jessica helped Ryan make sure the sheet was spread out just right. Once it was, Ryan instructed Jessica to hold Nancy by the feet, while he would take her upper half. Nancy found herself lying on her back by the far end of the sheet, while each twins grabbed it at one end and lifted it to rest on top of her.
"Now remember Jessica," Ryan said. "Just follow my lead, and make sure you keep the sheet tight after each roll, OK?"
"Sure thing!" Jessica said, "One... two..."
On the count of three, Nancy felt herself being grabbed at the shoulders and feet and rolled over, wrapping the sheet around her as she went. Ryan and Jessica took a few seconds to make sure the sheet was pressed tight, then continued, rolling the teenage sleuth over several times until she was feeling dizzy. She could still wriggle her wrists around a bit and that would probably be enough to escape, but this was definitely more than she'd expected when she agreed to this.
When the rolling stopped, Nancy found herself once again on her back. She looked down her body and saw that the white sheet smoothly wrapped all the way down her body, with just her feet sticking out from the bottom. Whatever these kids know about this house had better be worth it, she thought, shuffling a bit from side to side.
"Not bad," Nancy admitted to the kids, still feeling mostly confident. Alright then, so it's a half-hour and... what are THOSE for?! You said the sheet was supposed to be it!"
Ryan and Jessica had each grabbed a couple leather belts and were again kneeling next to her. Ryan shrugged, looking confused. "Well, we need something to tie the sheet down, don't we?"
Nancy didn't like that, but she just grumbled as the twins tied the four belts around her, one each around her shoulders, elbows, thighs, and ankles. Each belt was pulled snugly and Nancy could feel her arms pressing even closer to her body, which would make it even harder to work free from the ropes around her wrists. Once I DO get out, these two are getting a taste of their own medicine. she thought. That helped cheer her up a bit. "OK, NOW that's definitely it?"
"Yup, that's it!" Ryan nodded. "Now we just need to gag you!"
They needed to gag her too? Nancy rolled her eyes at that and just stared up at the ceiling, but at this point she just wanted to get on with her escape. She could already feel herself sweating a bit under the sheet. She heard the sound of duct tape and prepared for it to be pressed over her lips, but instead, it was followed by the sounds of a SECOND roll of tape, and when looked back down she saw Jessica lifting up her legs and winding the tape around her ankles!
"What the-" Nancy started, but she suddenly felt Ryan's hands grabbing her by the shoulders, lifting her into a sitting position and wrapping his own roll of tape around the top of the bedsheet, covering the belt he'd used to secure it. "Hey! You never said anything about this! What are you doing?"
Jessica couldn't help but grin as she stopped her work for a second. "Ummm, we're, uh, now we've gotta tie you up with the tape, you know, like a mummy. Yeah, we're gonna mummify you really tight!"
Nancy swiveled her head to look at Ryan, who looked and looked sheepish for a second before letting out a quick burst of childish laughter. "Uh yeah Nancy, sorry about that I sorta lied about that last part. Don't worry, you still get the chance to escape." He looked down at Jessica, who had began winding the tape further up Nancy's legs. "Hey Jessica remember, don't just wrap it once and then move all the way up. Take your time and go around a couple times, we've got plenty of tape." Jessica nodded and he resumed his own wrapping, trying to maintain a grip on Nancy as she started to thrash around as best she could. She had most definitely NOT signed up for this!
Unfortunately, already being wrapped up in the sheet, Nancy knew her struggles wouldn't be close to enough. "Alright kids," she said angrily. "You had your fun, this is enough. You need to stop this RIGHT now and let me out, I am warning you as your babysitter that I WILL tell your father about this and... are you two listening? You are in BIG TROUBLE!"
She could see that they weren't listening. Jessica was still wrapping around her legs, and Nancy angrily put as much effort as she could into one kicking motion, catching Jessica by surprise and causing her to fall back. "Hey!" she shouted. "Let me out, n--- mmmph!"
Her words were cut off as she could feel Ryan pressing a white rag of some sort into her mouth. Now ever madder, Nancy tried to spit it back out, but Ryan had quickly pressed the tape over top, winding it around the back of her head several times (though at least he was courteous enough to lift up her hair before doing so). Nancy may have been the most proper girl around, but at this point even she was shouting muffled curses at the two demonspawn children she'd gotten stuck with. Not that any of them were intelligible through the gag, of course.
Ryan tore off the tape and stood back for a second, and Nancy immediately seized the opportunity to thrash and fight as much as she could, desperately trying to work her wrists from from the ropes tying them together under the bedsheet. She knew this would be her last chance, because once they taped around there there'd be no way she'd have enough slack. She just needed a few minutes....
"You OK, sis?" Ryan asked as Jessica quickly got back up.
"I'm fine," she said, looking at Nancy's energetic struggles. "Boy, she's mad."
"Oh, she'll be fine," Ryan replied. "We've gotta hurry up and finish, though. I think Nancy's better at this escaping stuff than she let on." He smiled down. "Let's get going, I'm thinking we should give her one extra layer of tape just to be sure."
Jessica giggled and grabbed Nancy's thrashing legs. "Yeah, gotta make sure we don't miss a spot!"
Despite Nancy's best efforts, there was nothing she could do to free wrists from behind her back before the tape started winding around them. With the sheet limiting their movements, there just wasn't enough time. By this point, she'd mostly exhausted her struggling and could only stare daggers at the twins as they wrapped the tape around and around her body, moving slowly upwards and downwards until she was totally immobilized in a cocoon of tape running from shoulder to ankle. And even then, Ryan and Jessica made good on their promise of a second layer, wrapping her one more time just in case the first layer of tape wasn't excessive enough.
"Wow," Jessica said, once they'd finished. She looked down at the bound form of one angry teenage babysitter. "So is she officially mummified now?"
Ryan just laughed. "Officially, sis. Good job!"
"Think she's gonna escape that?"
"We'll see," Ryan shrugged.
Nancy at this point was mumbling sullenly into her gag. "Half an hour." Nancy thought. "These little monsters had BETTER be here after half an hour. She saw Jessica looking at her again, glancing over each part of her body as if ensuring it was secured enough.
"She can still wiggle around a bit," Jessica said. ""Like, her feet are free and stuff." Indeed, Nancy's bare feet were by far the most active part of her at the moment. "Maybe we can like, tie her toes all together or something, or we could use---"
Nancy groaned into her gag. "And here I thought she was the nicer one!" she thought. Thankfully, Ryan just said "I think we've done enough, sis. OK, Nancy, we'll be back. Uh, good luck!"
With that, the twins left the room, closing the door behind them and leaving their babysitter to herself. Still lying on the floor, completely and snugly mummified in both the sheet and the layers of duct tape, all Nancy Drew could do was wriggle a few inches in either direction and silently curse both the twins and her own stupidity for getting her into this situation in the first place. "Just great" she bitterly thought. How is it that I've been tied up dozens of times by master thieves and smugglers and who knows who else, but when I let a couple 11-year-olds tie me up, THIS is what happens? What is wrong with these kids?
Of course, in Nancy's current situation, that was about all she could do. Still, they couldn't keep her tied up forever, could they? And even though she could feel herself getting hotter, at least she wasn't having any circulation problems or anything.
Oh yeah, this is just PEACHY.
Well, half an hour. She just needed to wait, and hope that Ryan was telling the truth when he said he'd return in half an hour. Because if he didn't, their fathers wouldn't be coming back for another four days, and THEN she might be in serious trouble indeed.
All she could do now was wait...
CHAPTER 2 - COMING SOON!
Will Nancy be freed by the twin terrors? (Well, they aren't going to let her die of thirst or anything. I SAID this would be mostly lighthearted, didn't I?)
Will Nancy enact a terrible revenge on Ryan and Jessica if she does?
Or will it be Nancy getting tied up again?
And will Nancy ever actually solve the vague mystery thing that she's investigating in the first place? You might find out!

My FAVORITE captured bound and gagged babysitter story from an earlier version of the web-site:

("My Final Shade of Red" by JD from the 1998 Bob's Archives stories at the beginning of this web-site!)
I also envision Nancy wearing pyjamas with matching pants and button-front long sleeved open-necked top with a "notch"-type collar (like MEN'S pyjamas--only for WOMEN)!

I would like to see her get free and then tie them up.

Thanks so much for the great comments, everyone! They're all definitely appreciated.
Chapter 2 is below, I hope you like it even though it's lacking in new tie-up scenes. (Actually I ended up adding a new sort of half-chapter thing to rectify that a bit). Hopefully there's enough of Nancy's current peril/buildup towards future perils that you still enjoy reading it, while also possibly even enjoying my continued buildup of the "Mystery of the Mysterious House" as I stubbornly try to piece together a flimsy excuse for an actual story and Nancy Drew-esque case around her getting tied up. What can I say, I've decided to write about Nancy Drew and DAMNIT, that means including a mystery or else!
CHAPTER 2 (aka where Nancy's still tied up and the writer realizes halfway through that he'll have to push the next scene to Chapter 3)
Nancy Drew was certain that more than half an hour had passed since the two kids had left her.
Of course, she couldn't be ABSOLUTELY certain, duh. There wasn't a clock around and in her current situation it was entirely possible that time could stretch out. Nancy had only tried to struggle in her bonds a few times despite knowing it was probably futile, and all that had done was tire her out and make her feel hotter. She'd tried to pass some of the time thinking back to ways she'd escaped before and different tips she'd collected, like any of THEM would be useful. Sure, she could have slipped free from the ropes around her wrists, had that been all the 11-year-old twins had tied her with.
Sneaky little brat... Nancy thought to herself. He must've made it look easy at first so I wouldn't suspect anything, and I fell for it, all right.. Nancy could still feel the ropes around her wrists. That had been amateurish enough that she'd expected to be free easily, but then Ryan and his twin sister Jessica had kept on adding to it. First with the bedsheet, which they'd wrapped around her several times so that just her head and feet stuck out from each ends, then the belts, which had been tightened around her to hold the sheet in place. Even then Nancy thought she might have had a chance, but then the two kids had pulled out the duct tape and just gone wild, wrapping Nancy with it until they'd covered the entire sheet and then some. Then, just to be sure, they'd wrapped Nancy's whole body AGAIN, pulling the tape tight with each turn.
What other tips did she have? There had also been the time she'd tapped out a message in Morse Code using the heels of her shoes. Despite her current situation, Nancy couldn't help but chuckle a bit into her gag as she recalled that one. Some help that tip is when you're barefoot on a carpeted floor where no one can hear you anyway! Well, if nothing else, that was a positive spin Nancy could put on this babysitting nightmare. After all, she'd rather it be a couple kids leaving her like this than any of the real criminals that had caught her in the act before. Good thing that none of them figured out the best way to stop Nancy Drew. Just wrap her up in a couple miles of tape, and voila! Always try to be an optimist!"
Nancy was fairly close to one of the far walls of the room, and just to pass the time really she managed to shift her body a few inches until it was within reach. Then, a little amused at herself, she lifted her feet a couple of inches off the floor and began tapping her bare soles against the wall, remembering her Morse Code: Dot-Dot-Dash- OH WOW!
Just like that there was a clicking sound, and a panel of the wall slid neatly sideways, revealing what looked to be a darkened tunnel behind it, heading in both directions!
Nancy couldn't help but let out a muffled expression of surprise. So the rumors were true after all! Of course, she couldn't possibly go exploring like this, but maybe she could get a look--
Grunting with exertion, Nancy tried to wriggle in her cocoon, rocking herself from side to side until she could maybe stick her head into the tunnel, when the faint sound of footsteps far down the tunnel reached her ears. Nancy froze, eyes wide. Whoever that was, if they came to investigate she'd be completely helpless!
The footsteps continued a few feet closer, then stopped, and Nancy heard a man's voice calling back further into the tunnel. She couldn't hear whoever he was speaking to, but the first was just close enough that she could pick up his side of the conversation.
"Hey boss, there's a door just opened down this tunnel? You do that?.....It's uh..2 West. Yeah, 2 West....You sure?.......Nah, nobody actually there or anything. Alright, then. These old systems are always screwed up, I tell ya....."
As he spoke, the man's voice retreated away from the secret door, and after a few seconds, it slid shut again. Nancy breathed out, relieved, although newly annoyed that she had to do it through her nose thanks to the gag. So it seemed there was a mystery afoot here after all!
---
Just a minute or so later, the main door to the room opened up and Nancy found herself looking again at the grinning faces of Ryan and Jessica. Jessica leaped forward and knelt next to Nancy, poking and prodding the tape around her a couple of times.
"Wow, she didn't even get close to escaping! So does that mean we won?"
Ryan came forward as well, but a bit more hesitantly. "See Nancy? Told you we'd only be gone half an hour... well a little more than half an hour, but we came back just as promised, right?"
Nancy could tell that Ryan was a little nervous. OK, she had to think rationally here and not look TOO angry. So she just lifted her head off the ground and quickly nodded.
"Right!" he said quickly. "So we could, y'know, go over a couple things to be clear and stuff and then we'd let you go?"
"Do we have to?" Jessica whined. "I had a bunch of ideas. Like what if we went upstairs and then tied her to her bed like this and then she REALLY wouldn't be able to move!"
"Shut up, sis...."
"OK, OK! I think she had fun though!"
Nancy could tell that his sister had made Ryan nervous again, though. "Uh, tell you what, just so we're cool and all, you know how I promised to give you a bunch of those secrets about the house if you got loose in time? Maybe I could give you like, a few of them, like a consolation prize or something?"
Bingo! Nancy thought. She pretended to consider, then nodded again, and in a few seconds the twins were around her, slowly cutting her free from all the duct tape. Needless to say, it took a while, but as Nancy felt the pressure from all the materials relax, she was able to concentrate on how she'd respond one she WAS free.
Of course, paying the two terrible twins back was at the top of that list. Sure, they had released her, and it wasn't like she'd never been tied up before, and... well if Nancy could be honest, it hadn't been THAT bad. She had to laugh a bit about not just being tied up, but being so excessively and totally tied up like that. It would help put any future times into perspectives.
But those things did NOT mean she was going to forgive those two. Not even close. They would both be on guard, but maybe she could surprise them in their sleep or something. And she would do just that of course... but she couldn't just yet. Not with a mystery to solve, a secret panel just discovered, and these two bratty kids being her best source of information.
Once Nancy was in a sitting position with the ropes around her wrists and ankles the only things left, Ryan stepped behind her and began removing the teenager's gag while Jessica worked on her feet. Once the gag was gone, Ryan quickly moved to untie her wrists, and then stepped back with Jessica, watching the his babysitter intensely.
Nancy slowly got to her feet, feeling blessedly free and stretching out her limbs. She'd sweated a ton in that cocoon and really wanted a shower, but she'd take that later. First off, she fixed both twins with a fiery look. There was only one way she could react if she wanted to solve this case.
"You two know what? I could call your father RIGHT NOW, and you have no idea, you two couldn't even GUESS how much trouble you'd be in right now!" Nancy saw the twins visibly cringe at that, and made them suffer another second or two before she suddenly burst into a devious smile of her own.
"But you know what, kids? That was kinda fun!"
All the tension in the room disappeared at Nancy's remark, and Ryan and Jessica had their trademark grins back on their faces.
"Seriously? Cool!"
"Told you so!"
"Yeah, fun for sure!"
"We got you good, huh? Was it really tight and stuff?"
Nancy nodded at that last quick-fire remark, playing into young egos. "Yep, real tight! I'd always been able to escape being tied up before, but not that time!"
Ryan smiled back at Nancy. "Hey, I totally knew you'd been tied up before! After I tied the hands when you were moving them and checking and stuff! How'd it happen before?
"Oh, you know. Older brothers growing up, and it's not like this is my first time babysitting," Nancy said with a grin, chuckling inwardly to herself.
"Was that the best anyone tied you up?" Jessica inquired. "I bet it was, huh?"
"Sure was. I've never been tied up with uh, well you kids really made sure I couldn't get loose. Where did you get that idea?" Nancy was genuinely curious as to THAT answer.
Ryan and Jessica exchanged a couple looks, and then Jessica said "Well you told us to do your worst, so we did! If you really want to tie someone up so they can't escape, isn't that how you do it?"
"I guess so," Nancy said. The brat... actually had a point there. Still though, these two were weird kids. Now, the question was whether the two of them actually tied into the case somehow. She'd have to keep that in mind.
---
Once they were all upstairs, Ryan had told Nancy several of the house's old "secrets", mostly in the forms of ancient legends and cryptic clues, and given her a couple old notebooks that supposedly contained maps and coded instructions on how to find the 'Secret Catacombs'. "So what are you looking for exactly, huh Nancy?" he asked as she looked over the faded writing.
"Oh," Nancy said casually, "I just thought I'd have some fun exploring what might be down there. I mean, legends of buried treasure and secret escape tunnels during the war, it's so exciting! Is there anything else you know about the house that you can tell me?" She knew full well there was plenty he was keeping back from her. He hadn't even mentioned the secret panel she'd found, for one thing.
"Well yeah but... you didn't escape so I can't give you EVERYTHING, I mean..."
"Awww..." Nancy did her best to sound pouty and sad. With these new clues and what she'd already found, Nancy thought she might have enough able to investigate and solve this case. But if she DIDN'T have enough, then these kids were her source of information. If she could somehow get Ryan to tell her everything she knew, then----
That was when Jessica burst into the conversation. "I've got an idea!!" She quickly waved Ryan over and whispered to him.
"Oh great," Nancy thought. "Boy, I wonder what that idea might be." She wasn't really surprised, of course and hadn't expected that Ryan would tell her all the clues just like that. Worth a shot, though.
"OK Nancy!" Jessica said with a big smile. "How about, if the two of us tie you up again, and then we'll give you more clues!"
"Well, THAT was predictable." Nancy thought. "Well then, I suppose I've got to decide to myself just how bad I want to solve this case. "Tie me up again?" she asked the twins outwardly. "You mean I get mummified again? I don't know kids..."
"Um, we'll totally tie you up different, promise! It has to be a surprise though! And you get an hour to escape this time, and then we get you free if you don't!" Jessica said.
"Yeah," Ryan added. "It'll be something different, and I promise you won't be mummified like this time, OK?" Nancy caught Jessica give her twin a bit of a sour look and inwardly smiled.
"Well," she responded, "I DID have fun, but if I could only get the secrets by escaping I'd have to say no. After all, I didn't even get close this time."
Ryan nodded at that. "Yeah, for sure. We were thinking that you'd win a bunch of the secrets even if you don't escape, and if you DO get out, you win all the secrets plus a, uh, super-special bonus prize."
"Yeah!" Jessica continued. "And how many clues you can get depends on how you're tied, so if you get tied up really good, you get the most clues!"
Of course, Nancy was well-known for her quick and logical thinking, so it didn't take long to process all that information in her head. Well, if I'm lucky I'll solve this all tomorrow with what I have now and that will be that. And hello, I AM Nancy Drew here, I think I've got a good chance. Of course, if I DON'T have enough information here and can't solve the case, this is the only way to get enough information to do that. So, simple question. Would I let two snot-nosed little kids tie me up AGAIN, (I'll bet it's ridiculous and excessive again, and I'm still going to get them back!) and go through all that a second time JUST to get some more information to solve a mystery? Hmmmm
And of course, no matter how quick and logical Nancy Drew was, well, she was still Nancy Drew. She didn't consider long.
"You know, I think that sounds like LOTS of fun, kids!"
Yeah, to solve a mystery? Nancy could practically TASTE this one, so there was no chance of her just walking away. She'd let the Bratty Duo tie her up a hundred times before letting a mystery go unsolved.
"We can play again tomorrow before bedtime, OK? As long as until then, you behave, and that can start right now since it is way, WAY beyond your bedtimes, if you've forgotten!"
The twins readily agreed, of course. Nancy herself smiled and led them upstairs.
"Now, we'll play again after dinner, an hour before bedtime so be in your PJs and ready for bed, OK?"
Nancy shut the door and rolled her eyes. Ugh. What a night. She needed a quick shower, then some sleep and look forward to tomorrow's sleuthing. With luck she'd solve it all then. If not, she'd grit her teeth and play one more tie-up game and get as much info as she needed to solve it then. A reminder that she'd need to maximize that info hit her and she opened the door one more time.
"Oh, and you know what? I think you kids got lucky this time! Now you said that the better you tied me up the more I could win, so you two do your worst!"
She shut the door again. That'd keep the little monsters happy tomorrow. Besides, Nancy figured, they couldn't mummify her again, so it couldn't be worse than today, could it? Not unless it involved spiders or something like that.
CHAPTER 3 - COMING SOON...
What do the twins have planned for Nancy tomorrow?
Will it involve spiders? (HINT: No, it will not)
Or will Nancy solve the case on her own, thus not having to get tied up again? (HINT: Uh, probably not)
And in what ridiculous and contrived fashion will the twins' babysitter bondage connect with the actual case?
Find out some of that, er, right now below actually, without even waiting for Chapter 3.

CHAPTER 2-A / BONUS SCENE
(NOTE: No, there will be no spiders involved. Er, sorry if I got your hopes up. But um, even in a goofy story about Nancy Drew getting excessively tied up several times over, I can't figure out how to work in a giant spider appearing and cocooning her. Unless the mystery was the building of giant robot spiders or something, I guess? But it isn't. Maybe I can write it into a future story or something, haha. Anyway, er, yeah, Chapter 2 didn't have any new tie-up scenes, so here's something I wrote up to rectify that, plus give a closer look at Ryan and Jessica's MYSTERIOUS STORY.
Not being from Nancy's POV it doesn't really fit elsewhere so consider it a bonus scene, plus a preview for Chapter 3, which should be up soon!
---
"OK Ryan, you're almost out of-- hey, hey how'd you get to that knot?"
Jessica Kilpatrick's voice had an obvious trace of indignation to it, no matter how hard she and her twin brother Ryan were trying to keep the noise level down. Given that they still hadn't gone to sleep, they absolutely did not want to alert their babysitter. But really, could they help themselves? They were 11 and still full of energy from an exciting night. They'd get some sleep pretty soon.
Not at the moment, of course. Jessica had crossed her arms and was watching as Ryan struggled around in the hogtie she'd tied him into. They were playing the 5-rope challenge, and she'd bound her brother simply but securely enough, roping his wrists and ankles first, then one each for his knees and around his chest and shoulders, and finally the final rope to secure wrists and ankle ties together. She'd been confident that all her ropes were neat and knots secure, and at first Ryan just twisted against them and complemented her. But now he was...
"Sorry, Jess! But I think I've.... got it!"
Ryan just smiled. Like so often, his sister had rushed the job and missed an important detail. Of the two, Jessica was actually more skilled at both binding and escaping, but with his approach to things, Ryan still often came out ahead. Like now, as he stretched his thin body one more time to reach the knot in his hogtie rope that she'd carelessly left within reach of his fingerss
Ryan's fingers found the knot located just beneath his bare heels, and it gave way, releasing the hogtie and bringing his legs back down on top of the bed. He stretched himself as much as he could and looked at his sulking sister.
"Too bad, sis. You put the---"
"Yeah, yeah, I put the knot in the wrong spot, I know. What are you celebrating for, you're still tied up, you know!"
"Come on, Jessica, I broke the hogtie, you know it's just a matter of time. Help me get loose here, we've gotta get to sleep soon and it's my turn."
Jessica stuck her tongue out, but Ryan just smiled, not worried. Both of them would complain and threaten at times, but in the end, they always gave in and untied each other. And right on schedule, Jessica came forward and began working on Ryan's ankle tie while he tried to free his wrists. Before long, all five ropes were lying on the bed, and he was picking and choosing the ones he would use.
"Stupid 5-rope challenge," Jessica muttered, flopping on her own bed. She could handle Ryan getting free from her ties, but she hated when she screwed up with rope, especially when it was all because of a bunch of stupid rules like this.
Ryan could only chuckle at his sister. Jessica loved using ropes more than anything else, but the 5-rope challenge put a strict limit on how much she could use, and that always frustrated her. "OK, my turn. How about you put your hands in front this time, Jess?"
"In front?" Jessica said dubiously. "This is gonna be one of your weird ones, isn't it?" She did as told, and Ryan quickly and expertly began binding them.
"This is all SO LAME," Jessica continued as he did. "First this dumb challenge, then tomorrow you promised the babysitter that we weren't going to mummify her next time!" Ryan finished with her hands, then began tying her ankles together, wrapping them in loop after loop of thick white rope. "I thought that the whole plan was to tie her up as much as possible?"
Ryan just shrugged at his sister. "C'mon, I totally know the plan, don't worry about tomorrow. Now, bring your hands down here..." he guided Jessica's hands down to here also-bound ankles, bending her forward. As he began tying them together, Jessica snorted in response.
"What is this, like a front hogtie? LAME. And so what IS the plan for tomorrow then? I had plans too, you know! I was thinking we could use the linen strips and totally wrap her up like REAL mummy-style, a bunch of times and really tight, and then we could put her in the toybox so it'd be like a sarcophagus or whatever, and-- OK WHAT are you doing with that tiny string? Hey!" Jessica protested as Ryan began winding the thin twine around her fingers and thumbs, binding them together in a series of knots.
"Just making sure you don't pick at the knots." Ryan smiled. "That's what you should have done with me instead of just tying more rope around my legs. He knotted one final, long rope around the mass of ropes already encircling Jessica's hands and feet, then stood on top of the bed to loop it around a hook in the ceiling. Finally, he pulled it taut, raising Jessica's bound limbs until she was lying on her back with her hands and feet sticking upwards.
Jessica began her own escape attempt, grumbling as she tried to work through Ryan's finger-tie. Nothing seemed to work, as even when she managed to reach near a knot, there wasn't anything she could DO about it! It was all infuriating, until she happened to look up and see the one thing she COULD do. She strained to force her arms and legs upwards to get as much slack as possible, and then, just like that, slipped the rope off the ceiling hook, falling onto her side on the bed and forcing Ryan to untie her the rest of the way while Jessica smugly congratulated herself. Finally, as the two prepared to go to sleep, he let her know about tomorrow's plan.
"Really?!" Jessica squealed. "You promise? And we can use as much as we want?"
"Yep," Ryan replied. "Well, to a point. You can't try to actually mummify her or anything like that, remember?"
"Aw, well..." Jessica sounded disappointed for only a second before brightening up again. "But no 5-rope challenge or anything right?"
Ryan laughed. "Nah, I'm thinking we'll use WAY more than five ropes on Nancy, don't you, sis?"
Jessica giggled and closed her eyes. "Way more." Nancy the babysitter had told them she wanted to be tied up good and tight, after all. And Jessica intended to do just that.
CHAPTER 3, COMING SOON... (really this time)
Thanks again to everyone for reading all the way through, and again, any comments, suggestions, flames of hatred, whatever are really gratefully appreciated. Hope you're still enjoying the story!

Excellent! You sound like you really know how to tie a wicked knot!

I would like to point out a small detail that was apparently overlooked in Chapter 2. Nancy Drew is a single child so what is this about older brothers growing up?
From whence I came and whence I went heaven said I was too evil and sent me to hell. Demons and devils succeeded in breaking my soul.

Any word on when we can expect Chapter 3? This is a fantastic series so far: sensational, highly descriptive tying combined with a well written, promising plot - Please continue!
I do, however, have one small complaint.
After working so hard to bind our heroine so thoroughly, what self respecting, red blooded, devious set of twins wouldn't want to have some fun at their captive's expense? There seems to be only one natural response to a pair of exposed, trapped bare feet - find out just how ticklish they are!
What can the poor junior sleuth do to stop them? Tied up with rope, wrapped in a sheet, cinched tight with belts, cocooned in not one but TWO layers of duct tape with only her head and feet sticking out, and then completely gagged; she doesn't have many options - except to laugh! Commanding them to stop would only come out as funny, muffled gibberish - encouraging the to continue (or even INCREASE!) their tickling assault.
There would be no shortage of motivation for the twins:
*They'll keep tickling until she promises not to tell their father
*Which foot is more ticklish - the right or the left?
*Who is the better tickler - Ryan or Jessica?
*Nancy was so cocky that she could get free from their simple tie up - she should be punished for as least as long as the time they gave her to escape
*If she can still flap her feet around too much, they would take turns sitting on her ankles holding her toes back while the other twin continues tickling
* Or Jessica gets her chance to tie her toes and immobilize her further
*They'll stop the hilarious punishment if she let's them stay up past their bedtime
The worst part of it all is that Nancy only has herself to blame for being in this ticklish situation. She IS the babysitter, she should have known better. It's ironic that with all her previous perilous adventures, her most helpless predicament would be at the hands of two 11 year-olds!
When the twins are finished with their playful "torture", Nancy's sure to be at least a little upset. After she is un-gagged (but while she is still mummified) she would threaten them with consequences. In reply, they would threaten more tickling till she changed her mind. Already exhausted and not wanting to endure further torment, she would quickly change her tune! Combined with the promise of a few additional clues from the twins as a peace offering, all is soon forgiven. That is, until Nancy can get some well earned revenge!
That's my two cents - hope we see the next installment soon!
