Sorry for all the wait everyone, over here at home things aren't going too easy. Plus, I'm forgetful. But here it is now.
I woke up with someone taping me up. I could feel that my wrists were already taped behind my back, with what felt like several strips. I was taped above and below my breasts as always.
The person who was doing it was Hallie, again, who seemed to be the person assigned to me I guess. She had taken off her shoes and socks, which were lying next to me, for whatever reason. She was in the process of wrapping my bare ankles up in black tape.
“Hey!” I said, starting to struggle. But she had already wrapped tape around my ankles about four times, so there was no way I could just break through them.
Before I could let out a withering protest, Hallie grabbed one of her socks and stuffed them in my mouth. This followed with her other sock, and then came the roll of tape, plastering over my lips, silencing me. Again. This was starting to get old. The single piece of tape was followed by four more. Again, I wasn’t going to get that off.
“Don’t struggle, please,” She chided. “It won’t make things any easier.”
She finished wrapping my ankles and then wrapped my knees. I was pretty sure that no regular human being could get out of this, I was taped up with too many strips of tape to just force out of.
Hallie put on her shoes (minus the socks) and picked me up. Hallie was pretty strong, as she carried me like it was no trouble. Or maybe I was just light, which was nice to think about. I was still shaking off the sleepiness as she carried me with one hand under my back and another under my legs. I have to admit, this was really uncomfortable.
It was chilly, and I knew that it was probably early in the morning. I was freezing in the swimsuit that did little to warm me up. Of course, you were meant to go swimming usually when it was hot and you needed to cool off. Not exactly the case this time.
My sleepiness was gone now. If you wake up in the middle of being tied up, you’ll be awake pretty quick. I was half afraid of what they were going to do. I mean, why where a swimsuit unless you are going to get wet? Not good omens.
Eventually we got to the waterfront. Good thing I changed into the swimsuit earlier. Of course, how the heck it would help me while being unable to move I had no idea.
Up on the docks were two other girls, Melody and Stephanie. Melody was in a swimsuit too and likewise wrapped firmly in tape. She turned her gagged head in my direction as Hallie dumped me next to her. It hurt, but by now I had plenty of experience with falling down like that.
“Okay, here’s what you gotta do,” Hallie said in a cheerful manner that most regular people don’t use at this time in the morning. Of course, none of the people here were really regular, so that was all fine.
“We’re going to dump you in a boat that has a bunch of holes,” She said. I was about to yell in my gag but she raised her hand. “Calm down. All of them are sealed by tape except one. As the clock ticks, we will uncover more of the holes until you either succeed or sink. Don’t worry, we’ll be in the shallow end. Anyhow, all you two have to do is stay afloat. How you’re going to do that, well, it’s not me. Oh, and just to make it more interesting…..” She grabbed her role of black tape and positioned me and the girl Melody were back-to-back. She then wrapped our arms together, our bellies, our shoulders, our thighs, and our ankles together making it very hard to move. Hallie forced the soles of our feet together and wrapped them up, so it was like we were in a forced tip-toe position. Finally, she put our heads back to back and tied our gags mouth together, wrapping them firmly about eight times. Whenever one of us moved, the other would follow. Whether it was our head, or legs, our arms, our bodies. We were literally connected.
Melody was straining one way and pulling me up into the air, hanging like that. I pushed back so that we were even on the ground and she let out a muffled squeal and shifted, moving me as well. This was stupid.
Stephanie and Hallie gently (well, not quite) laid us into a wooden rowboat. I could feel tons of strips of tapes all along the surface. Stephanie knelt down and peeled off a piece, which revealed a hole half the size of a pea. I felt Melody lurch as she used her body to cover it up.
Despite this I could feel water trickle a little bit. This was bad. The more holes they uncovered, the faster water would sink in. And since we were attached to each other, we had to stick close together, so that meant no blocking holes farther away. Just to rub it in, Hallie peeled off a piece of tape on the far end, sending water flowing in.
I tried to reach towards it with my feet, but that meant that Melody’s feet followed. I accidentally dislodged her off the hole and we tumbled, rocking the boat.
I rolled, over my face and hers until my shoulder rested on the other hole, trying to block it.
“Mmph!” Melody muffled angrily. But this hole was bigger than the other one that she had been blocking. We had to make this as slow as possible.
This was uncomfortable, and I could still feel water trying to get in. Melody and I had to work together if we wanted to do this.
Soon Hallie ripped off another piece of tape. Great. Now we had three holes to worry about. I could already feel a thin layer off water across the boat. This was not going good. I wondered if we sunk how they would get the boat out of the water.
Melody shifted, turning us into she could cover the hole and at the same time maintaining my position. We moved like a clock hand, with me in the middle. We could do this, we got to of the three holes plugged up.
But just as we were done with that, Stephanie uncovered two more holes. We were doomed.
I looked around, considering which holes were biggest. We couldn’t move away from each other, and the water was rising. I could already feel the boat sinking, with us in it.
If only we could be apart, then we could actually cover multiple holes. I reached out with my knees, semi-covering one but not really doing much to help. I felt the water rising and the boat sinking.
It was cold, and now I was glad that we had swimsuits on. I would hate to be wearing regular old clothes right now. I struggled against the tape, but like my previous bindings, too much tape or rope was there for me to force myself out of this. I could only watch as the boat filled with water. We failed.
I didn’t feel so good. Despite it being totally unfair, I was sad that we couldn’t succeed. I had failed at one of their tasks for the first time. I mean, it was like impossible for us to actually get that one done. So unfair.
Hallie smiled at us. I had a feeling that she wasn’t really expecting us to succeed. “Well,” She said. “You guys failed. That means that you will have to have some punishment. And Melody, you really don’t need any more.”
“Mmmph!” Melody protested behind her gag. But together Hallie and Stephanie lifted us up and tossed us in another rowboat. But instead of joining us, they got into a canoe and tied a piece of rope to our rowboat.
“Let’s give you two some quality time,” Stephanie joked. They rowed out into the lake, pulling our rowboat behind them. It was still cold, and the sun had refused to come out today. It didn’t help that we were already soaked and this new rowboat was filled with a little bit of water and soggy leaves. Gross.
Soon we were in the middle of the lake, pretty much in the middle of nowhere. And guess what? Stephanie and Hallie giggled, untied the rope, and rowed away. Just like that. They left us, taped up and helpless, in a rowboat. That was definitely unsafe, but as usual, who cared about safety?
I didn’t dare struggle. If we did, well, I didn’t even want to consider the possibility of capsizing. We would drown, no doubt about that.
Of course, Melody wasn’t exactly agreeing with me. She shook in her sticky bonds, which naturally caused me to rock too. We were shaking the rowboat!
“MMMMPH!” I cried angrily past my gag. “Mmm, mmph, mmm!” Of course that made no sense, but I wanted to get the message to stop.
“Mmph,” Melody muffled in reply. Even with her voice muffled, I could tell she was scared. Panicked, even. After all, the girl was about thirteen.
“Mmmm,” I mumbled. All we could do was wait now. We couldn’t get back to shore like this. We were stuck here in this boat. I had plenty of experience with that. All I could do was enjoy the sticky bands of tape encircling my arms and legs, silencing my rather talkative mouth.
My arms and legs were fused together, I was taped to another girl, I couldn’t move an inch. Perfect. However, there were some parts I didn’t like. When Melody fidgeted or shifted a little bit, I was forced to move with her. When I moved a little bit, it was like I was pulling someone along, which was perfectly true. Plus, now I had nowhere to move. Other places I could wiggle around like a fish out of water, but at least I could struggle to my heart’s content and twist and turn. Here, in this confined space I couldn’t do any of that. I couldn’t move, much less twist and struggle on the fear of capsizing the boat. It was frustrating.
I sighed, trying to enjoy being stuck to Melody in a chilly boat in the middle of nowhere.
In the end, it matters not how many breaths you took, but how many took your breath away.
