Chapter six

After some time, Tom, Dick and Harry suddenly stopped. Neither Caroline nor Virginia hat been able to hear something that sounded different from the swamp`s usual sounds, but before they even had fully realized that there was something, Tom had already grabbed Virginia and clamped her mouth shut whilst Harry did the same to Caroline. The two girls mmphed and struggled, but Dick raised his gun.

„No sound, or you will regret it!“, he hissed.

He took a leather thong from his belt and quickly tied Virginia`s wrists behind her back whilst Tom kept her in his tight grip. Then, he stuffed her mouth with a rag and tied a bandana tightly between her lips before he went over to Caroline who was bound and gagged the same way. Then, whilst the others took care of the girls, Tom went to a huge tree whose roots were reaching into the water. He disappeared below the surface, only to come back after a while. He said something in Seminole and the other two quickly tied the girl`s elbows. Then, they forced them to sit down, took once again off their boots and socks and also bound their legs at knees and ankles.

„Mmhhmmmmph! Hhrrrrmmmmmm!“

Both Virginia and Caroline mewed with alarm when Harry climbed up a tree, taking two ropes with him and a little while later, two nooses were dangling to the ground.

„They`re going to hang us!“, Virginia thought frantically and fought as much as her bonds allowed when they grabbed her and carried her over to the nooses. However, they tightened it around her ankles instead of her neck. She screamed through her gag with surprise when she was pulled upwards, higher and higher, until her dangling hair was some three yards above the ground. Then, the rope was tied off to the branch. Moments later, Caroline was pulled up, too.

Now, they hung there upside down and could not get into a more comfortable position, no matter how they tried. Their skirts had lifted and dangled around their torsos, revealing their knickers, but that was the least of their problems. If they would not be freed from that position soon, they sure would suffer from severe consequences.

To their horror, the three Seminoles now disappeared, leaving the two helplessly trussed up girls alone.

„Mmhhmmmph! Uuuhhmmmmm!“, Caroline screamed through her gag.

„Mmmhhmmmm! Gghhhhhmmmph!“; Virginia answered.

Their heads had already reddened from hanging upside down and all their struggles only caused them to swing slightly on the ropes tied around their feet. All the sounds they could make were swallowed by the swamp and some ten yards away, they were already mixed with the other noises of the jungle.

The reason why Tom, Dick and Harry had trussed up the girls like that was not from sadism, but they had heard an approaching boat. And indeed, a minute after they had hidden behind some bushes, they could see a boat, bigger than the usual canoes. There were four persons in it and although all four were wearing men`s clothes, they definitely were women.

Two of them, a Black and a blonde, were rowing the boat whilst a Mexican was sitting in the stern and a redhead in the prow. They were not talking and it was obvious that they were searching for something.

The three Indians quickly considered what to do. the women hadn`t seen them yet and so, they could just wait. But on the other hand, they still had the problem that they had only two women for the three of them. And these four girls all looked quite pretty.

„We should get one of them. I would prefer the one in the back, but the Black would also be all right“, Tom whispered. The others nodded. They all hoped that, although they had been kidnapped, their new wifes would sooner or later get used to them and they could found a family with them. But in the few Seminole villages left, it would be hard for a white woman to exist. It would be even harder if they would visit the villages of the Whites.

A Black, however, was a different matter. There had always been fugitive slaves who had lived with the Seminoles and become members of their people. And a Mexican could also pass as an Indian or at least half Indian. So, they decided to follow the boat for a little while. They said to themselves that if they didn`t get a chance of getting one of the women within the next half an hour, they would have to cancel their plan anyway for they could not leave the two girls tied upside down for too long.

However, fate was on their side. Only a quarter of a mile later, the boat stopped and the Black left the boat.

„I will see if I can find some sign that could help us!“, she said and went closer to the trees where the three men were hiding, „I think Iiiaaaahmmmmph!“

Tom, Dick and Harry attacked at the same time. Harry slung his arm around Zenobia`s face, muffling her cries with his biceps, whilst Tom clamped her arms and Dick her legs. Theyy had already ran away for some 30 yards when the girl began to struggle in earnest.

„What the-“, Winona cursed and Alinda fired a shot, more to do just anything than with any real aim. Paloma just screamed Zenobia`s name. The three girls went on land and looked around with raised guns, but there was no sign of Zenobia. It was as if the forest had swallowed her. Alinda and Winona looked for tracks, but obviously, the abductors knew how not to leave any, even if they had to concentrate on carrying a struggling woman with them.

„Wha-what shall we do  now?“, Paloma asked anxiously.

„I don`t know yet, but I know one thing. We can`t be far from our destination!“, Winona said. She was sure that whoever was behind the other kidnappings was responsible for that latest attack, too.
„Well, let`s look if we find a house or something. But let`s be very, very careful! We can`t take the risk of losing another one“, Alinda meant.

***

Andrea had been together with men in her life, but none of these had ever really made her feel more than just okay when she had been in bed with them. The first person to ever get her over the top had been Zenobia. The first and the only one so far. Other women had played with her during the last months, but Andrea had never lost control – or, to be honest, she sometimes had been interrupted before she had reached the climax. But now, she was about to be unfaithful to Zenobia – and the reason for that was a leather plug.

First, it had just been humiliating to get the plug shoved inside her. Then, only moments after her captors had left, Andrea had felt a growing warmth in her womb, accompanied by a strange tingle. She had slightly move her hips, but the slight movements of the plug only made the irritating feeling worse.

„Mhhmmph! Uuuhmmm!“

Andrea panted. Her moaning was all but absorbed by her gag. The leather plug had crammed Zenobia`s knickers so deep into her mouth that they were almost tickling her throat. She tried to remain calm. After all, this was just a simple balm. Perhaps a bit arousing, like having strawberries together with sparkling wine, but nothing that could break her will.

„Uuuuuhhmmmm! Mhhmmmmmm! Mhhmmmmm!“

With some difficulties, Andrea raised her head and could see the adjacent bed. there, Niamh who obviously had lost control over herself, had accelerated her moves, literally riding Rose who responded to that by rocking her hips.

„Poor Clarissa“, Andrea thought. The blonde was looking as if she nodded whenever Niamh moved her head, for the rope tied to both their hair tugged on her scalp. But obviously, she still had not found any pleasure.

„Perhaps, she should just fake it.“

Andrea`s thoughts went over to Zenobia, to whom she never had had to fake anything. Tenobia who had been like-

„Uuuhmmmm!“

Now, Andrea almost shuddered when she energetically thrusted her hips against the band tied between her legs. It only helped a bit, since the band was not tied to her hands and she could not incvrease the pressure by herself.

„Damn it, why am I thinking of such a thing? I sure will not -"

„Mhhmmmmm! Uhhhmmmmm! Mph!“

Andrea almost involuntarily accelerated her moves. Not to get some pleasure, just to mitigate that terrible tingling, she told herself, but of course, she knew it was a lie. Beads of perspiration were building all over her body and she panted heavily through her nose. Andrea squirmed in her bonds and finally, by arching back her body as far as she could, she found a position that made the plug press against a sensitive spot. When Zenobia had first touched that spot, it had felt as if it would hurt. For about three seconds. But then, it had been so overwhelming, and Zenobia, oh, beloved Zenobia!

„Uuhhmmmmmm! Mmhhmmmmmmm! Hhmmmmmmmm! Hhrrrrrrrrrrrmmmm!“

Andrea had closed her eyes and with reddened cheeks, she now was under complete control of her womb. This was it! Not only did the plug caress her most sensitive spot. Whenever she lowered her hips, the butt plug pushed inside her, causing some irritating, but very pleasant feelings, too. Thoughts of her encounters with Zenobia appeared before her inner eye, Zenobia`s breasts, her hot loins, her-

„Uuuhhhmmmmmmmmmm! Mhhmmmmmmmmm! Mph! Mph! Mph! Uuhhhmmmmmmmm!“

Andrea almost passed out when a wave of pleasure washed over her and spasm after spasm shook her body, making her tremble like she had an electric shock. It was an overwhelming experience, at least until reality came back into Andrea`s mind.

„Oh my god, I am nothing but a wanton whore“, Andrea thought when after some panting, she had regained some of her senses. She felt guilty, not only for letting herself go that way, but also because she had been angry about Zenobia who had involuntarily felt some pleasure together with Paloma – and before, with that Chinese woman. Andrea had somehow considered Zenobia to be a bit of easy to take, but now, she knew that she wasn`t immune to a forced orgasm either.

„These bastards have kidnapped me, they want to do god-knows-what with me, and there has not even been a kind and experienced person who seduced me – just me and that goddamn plug!“

Andrea looked around and could see that now, Niamh had collapsed in her tight bondage and was now literally hanging from her hair. Obviously, she had passed out. Clarissa`s head was pulled upwards by this, forcing her to sit upright.

Now, the door opened and Laura stepped in. She breathed in as if she was in the mountains, enjoying the frsh air, and said:

„So nice to see that some of you have had fun already! Oh, Niamh, are you tired or just overwhelmed by Rose`s passion? I am sorry, but you have to blame Clarissa. I can`t set you loose, we still have to wait for her.“

A deep, long groan of sheer desperation emerged from Clarissa`s throat. She turned her head as far as her collar allowed, seeing poor Niamh hanging from her scalp of red hair. Then, she looked at Laura again, her eyes filled with tears.

„Don`t look at me like that, you know the rules. Maybe, I should put some more of the aphrodisiac on Rose. Let`s see if the two can stand just one more time.“

Laura went for the pink bottle, but now, Clarissa began to rock her hips. The expression in her eyes was terrible and she was blushing all over, but now, she tried to get her friend some relief. She rocked and squirmed and sent small guttural sounds to her gag. It was a humiliating procedure and when, after a short while, Clarissa trembled and bucked in her bonds, even to Andrea it was clear that she was just faking. However, it seemed that Laura was pleased.

„Now, that wasn`t so hard, was it? I will call Curt and Nathalie, you all have earned a bath!“

When moments later Niamh came to life again, tears of both relief and embarrassment were running down Clarissa`s cheeks. She had succeeded in faking her pleasure, but it hardly felt like victory to the poor woman.

***

„Now, that`s a turn of events!“

Zenobia almost giggled when the irony of that thought came to her. Her abductors, three Indian men, had tied and gagged her without stopping their walk through the forest. Her legs were bound at knees and ankles, her arms at wrists and elbows. They had gagged her with a rag shoved into her mouth and a cloth tied between her lips and they had taken off her boots and socks.

After a few minutes, they had stopped at a huge tree and one of them had climbed up. Then, a noose had come down from above and before she could fully realize what they were doing, Zenobia was hanging upside down from a thick branch. To her big surprise, two girls were hanging beside her, both bound and gagged like her.

She could see the three men disappear between the trees. She wasn`t sure if they now wanted to catch the other three, but she knew that she didn`t want to wait for them to come back.

„Uuhhmmm! Mhhmmmm!“

She tried to communicate with the others, but the two girls just grunted something into their gags, not even noticing her. Their heads were dark red and Zenobia could already feel the blood getting into gher head, too. Quickly, she looked for a possibility to get free.

There was only one chance! Slowly, Zenobia behan swinging on her rope, trying to get closer to the girl next to her. She swung like a big pendulum and suddenly, she felt some cloth at her fingers. Squirming as much as she could, she tried to see what she was doing and indeed, she managed to grab a crinkle of the other`s crumpled skirt. With a giant efort, Zenobia pulled that piece of cloth closer with her numb fingers. With a tearing sound, the skirt ripped apart from her pulling, but now, Zenobia hd grabbed the other`s belt.

„Uuuhmm! Mhmmmm!“

The girl protested, but Zenobia now was concentrated on freeing herself. She turned the other girl until she could reach her bound wrists. They were tied together by a leather thong and the knots were very tightly applied, but Zrnobia continued picking. After a while, she lost the girl and had to swing once more to get her back, but this time, her companion seemed to have understood. She grabbed Zenobia`s trousers and kept herself close to the Black and finally, Zenobia had freed the other`s wrists.

Her elbows were even more difficult to unknot, but after what seemed ages, Zenobia had freed Virginia`s arms completely. The girl let her arms dangle for a while, but then, she undid her gag and spat out the rag that had stuffed her mouth.

„Nnngggg!“

Zenobia vigorously shook her head when she saw that the other one wanted to scream. The girl nodded and reached over for Zenobia`s arms. But instead of freeing her, she pulled herself up along the other`s body, until she could reach for the branch. Aching and panting, she managed to get her body on the branch.

„I hope she will not try to loosen the ropes holding us to the tree“, Zenobia thought. It was some three or four yards to the ground and she would fall head first. However, the other girl pulled her up and finally, both were hanging over the branch.

„I am Virginia“, the other girl introduced herself as she had ungagged Zenobia and was working on her arm ties.

„I am Zenobia. Have you seen a brown haired woman? She has been abducted, just like you and me.“

Virginia shook her head. In a short version, she told Zenobia what had happened to her and Caroline. So, these girls would be no help in her search for Andrea!

When both had freed themselves completely, they heaved up the unconscious Caroline and undid her bonds and gag. Soon after she had her feet down again, the colour of Caroline`s face normalized and she opened her eyes.

They listened for the men to come back, but still could not hear a thing. So, they carefully climbed down the tree and ran away, with no clear direction, just trying to get some distance between themselves and their abductors.

***

The reason why Tom, Dick and Harry had left their captives in their uncomfortable position for more than just a short time hadn`t been sadism. They had detected another boat when they just wanted to see if the three women from the first boat had tried to follow them. In that canoe, there were two men and a tall blonde woman. Tom, the youngest, but also the smartest of the three brothers, scratched his head.

„I don`t know much about the Palefaces, but usually, the men go out for hunting whilst the women stay at home. So why on earth are there two boatloads of young women, accompanied by only two men?“
The others could not answer that question either. In their opinion, only an Indian wife was strong enough to stand the hardships of living in the Everglades, whilst white women were weak. But there, just some 30 yards away, was the fifth girl within just an hour, and she was dressed up like a man, too.

„Maybe, the white men are turning into women and so, their wifes have to do the hunting now?“, Harry joked. The others had to oppress a laugh, but that sure wasn`t the answer. So, they decided to follow the second boat from the distance.

What they saw next was even more strange. The three women that had accompanied the Black had left the Mexican girl to guard their boat. Obviously, they were searching the area. But when the girl saw the approaching canoe, she ran away, screaming for help. Moments later, the two men had landed and the blonde woman was searching the other boat.

Tom, Dick and Harry couldn`t understand what they were talking about, but now, the situation seemed clear: the Palefaces had all gone mad and were paying hide and seek in the swamps.

Shaking their heads, they decided to get back to where they had left the three girls. It had been a good idea by Tom to hang them into a tree, because if someone was looking for them, he would just not think of looking above and in the jungle, such faint sounds like the moaning of a gagged girl were hard to locate anyway.

However, it turned out that their plan had it`s weak spots, too. At the tree, they could only see some ropes, the rags that had gagged the girls and, surprising enough, a ripped skirt. Their victims had gone.

The three men quickly drew their guns and checked the area. Maybe, the one who had freed the girls was still waiting around. But when they checked the tracks, they saw that their captives had obviously freed themselves and run away.

„Well, let`s do as the Whites do: walk through the jungle and hunt for girls. After all, they can`t be that fast, since they are still barefoot.“

***

Andrea had always been a strong woman and she was able to remain calm even in straining situations. But now, she had to fight down tears, too. Curt and Nathalie had loosened the girls from their beds one by one. All had been tied with their hands cuffed to the sides of the iron belts, similar to that Andrea was wearing, but this time without anything tied between their legs.
They all remained gagged and so, only the faintest of sounds accompanied their way out.

Andrea was the last to be freed. She still was more than puzzled from her enforced orgasm and the balm still was within her. So, she had to fight down the urge to move her hips when Nathalie bent over her. However, her reddened cheeks and the specific fragrance were more than treacherous.

„So, you managed to enjoy that little toy, too? Maybe, you would prefer to stay here for a while instead of joining the others?“

„Nnnggg! Nnng!“

Andrea shook her head, though a little voice deep inside her whispered that this would be an excellent idea. Slowly, very slowly, Nathalie unbuckled the ends of the leather band, but instead of removing it, she began moving it back and forth, causing the plugs to massage Andrea`s sensitive and still swollen parts. She let out a deep groan and involuntarily reared up in response. However, Nathalie removed the band after just some minutes. She laughed when Andrea moaned with frustration and disappointment.

„My, my, there will be enough time for you to enjoy that in th near future. But now, there`s a bath waiting for you.“

Her neck and legs were freed and she had to stagger out of the room. In the living room, she could see that Fiona still was tied to the seatless armchair. She now was wearing the same gag mask as the other captives, but otherwise, her position hadn`t changed. Her face showed a strained expression and she was covered with a fine film of perspiration.

„She`s a proud and modest woman and still hasn`t done what I ordered her to do. Nathalie has already lost her bet on how long she will be able to stand the pressure. By the way, Nathalie, please take our guests outside for bathing. Curt and I will stay here and accompany our lovely Fiona. After all, we are still in the game.“

Shrugging, Nathalie took a shotgun and ordered the naked, bound and gagged bunch of women to get out of the door. Then, she guided them to a place at the shore where the water looked clean. Some yards in the brook, there was a rope marked with red bands.

„The rope marks where it becomes deeper and you will not be able to stand. After all, you are not properly dressed for swimming.“

So, they were expected to bathe in the brook, and they would have to do so whilst being handcuffed and gagged. But the water looked cool and promising and besides, once in the water, they could just sit or crouch to temporarily hide their nude bodies from view. So, there was not much hesitating and the six women entered the water.

To Andrea`s great relief, the cool water also washed away the remnants of the aphrodisiac from her. More and more, she felt that her loins calmed down and her brain began to work better and better. She could see that the two women Laura had introduced as Rose and Niamh were lying at their backs in shallow water, their breasts still protruding from the surface. They had their eyes closed and obviously, they were just enjoying the relief. Clarissa, who still avoided to look at anybody, had walked to a place where she hardly could stand and repeatedly dived under. Andrea wasn`t sure if she tried in vain to drown herself or if she was just trying to wash her shame away, but she felt pity for the humiliated blonde.

The other two women, Scarlett and Joanna, were just walking through shoulder-high water in low pace, relaxing. Andrea looked to the shore where Nathalie was sitting, the shotgun lying loosely by her side.

Trying to behave unsuspicious, Andrea checked the possibility of an escape. From the beginning of the deeper water to the opposite shore, it was just some 20 yards. She was an average swimmer and sure that she could pass that distance even with her hands cuffed. But then? Even if they would not get her at once, she still would be an easy prey, naked, bound, gagged and with not the slightest idea where to go.

But then, another thought grew stronger within her. Zenobia! Her lover was somewhere out there and she sure would be on a rescue mission right now! They had even managed to get out of China! And now, she could not be more than a few miles away from rescue. Sure, there were people in New Hope who knew that mansion and who would help to extinct that nest of abductors one and for all! But she just could not sit here and allow her captors to play games with her. She had to act! The only problem was what to do.

Then, Laura and Curt appeared, between them Fiona who now was wearing a cuff belt, too and who kept her head lowered. She looked as if she was about to faint.

„Nathalie, would you believe it, Curt has won the bet! I would have guessed that our lovely Fiona would have been able to hold back her pee longer. Well, sometimes people are weaker than one may think!“

As on the keyword, Fiona let out a grunt and collapsed on the grass. For a moment, all her captors were distracted and Andrea dived under. With her hands bound, it was difficult to fight her buoyancy and to stay below the surface, but she managed to get to the deeper water and to swim a few yards, using her legs only. She tried to get closer to the opposite shore, but she more or less acted blindfold.

After a while, Andrea had to raise her head and she greedily sucked in fresh air through her nose. Looking around, she could see Nathalie and Laura running around whilst Curt had disappeared.

„There! Over there!“

„Just stay where you are, or I will blow your head off!“

Andrea`s brain suddenly acted quickly. Nathalie was holding a shotgun, a terrible weapon on short distances, but now, she was some 20 yards away. The pellets would stray and she would not get hurt too much. So, she sucked in some air and went under water again.

Andrea could hear the muffled sound of the shotgun and then, the water was stirred by the hundreds of pellets, but none of them even touched her. Andrea moved her legs energetically, trying to get some distance between her and the point where she had been before she would have to come up again. But then, she could see a black silhouette: the canoe.

Andrea knew that Curt would have no difficulties in getting her once he had spotted her. Maybe, he even had a net. Her lungs hurt and she knew that she had to get up soon, but she waited until the canoe was right above her before she once more gasped for air.

BANG!

A shot hit the canoe, just inches from where her head had appeared. This shot had been different from the first. Obviously, Laura had fetched a rifle. But to her surprise, the canoe wasn`t following her, but steering towards the shore.

„The shot! It must have destroyed the shell!“, Andrea thought. Then, she could see the man slide into the water.

Curt was a tall man and he was only some 25 yards away. He would reach her within seconds. But then, Andrea felt the ground under her feet. Obviously, she had reached the other shore. With a last effort, she threw herself half out of the water and her upper body landed in the reed. She waited for another shot, but obviously, Laura had learned from her mistake and did not want to hit Curt who was in the line of fire.

Curt! Andrea quickly staggered to get on her feet and ran for the trees. Now, she could hear a shot, but obviously, Laura wasn`t a good shootist. Or, maybe, the gods were on her side.

„That was my leg, you stupid bitch!“, Andrea could hear Curt shout.

Andrea took that gift as a chance and accelerated. Her sides and lungs hurt from running whilst she was only able to breathe through her nose, but she had to get away before Curt would have recovered. According to his voice that had sounded more angry than as if he had been hurt, the injury was only superficial and so, he would not just sit there and lament over his wound.
However, she could not keep on running for much longer. So, there was time to hide. She saw a large stone lying by the side of a small pond. With a strong kick, she threw it into the water, causing a big splash. Then, she sneaked a few yards away and slid into the water, trying not to move the reed too much. She crouched into a fetal position with only her face protruding from the water.

Half a minute later, she could see Curt reach the shore. He searched the shore and even poked into the water with a stake, but then, he disappeared. Andrea didn`t dare to leave her wet hideout for the next 30 minutes, but she allowed herself a sigh of relief. For the moment, she now was save!
