„Never underestimate a Scottish lassie!“
It had taken Sally only a few minutes to open the cuff holding her right wrist. She resisted the urge to rip the tape from her mouth and to get the knotted cleave gag out. If any of their captors would enter now, she would still be helpless, but they would see that she had been able to open one of her cuffs. So, Sally listened closely for any sounds from the other side of the door. Luckily, Nadine had stopped moaning and so, she could hear that obviously nobody was outside.
Concentrating on her work, she freed herself from the other cuffs. When she was working on her ankle ties, she could hear a mmphing from the other bed. Nadine was trying to express her admiration or something like that.
„Mph!“
Sally made a soothing sign with her hand and when she was free, she took her time in ungagging herself. Then, she sneaked to the door and carefully looked at the corridor before she went to Nadine. The blonde squirmed and moaned through her gag, demanding to be freed immediately. Sally bent to her ear and hissed:
„If I ungag you and you make one sound, I will stuff your mouth with your panties and leave you here for our lovely hosts, stark naked! You got me?“
Nadine let out a croak, but when Sally waited, she finally nodded. Only then did Sally start to work on her gag. When the knotted scarf was removed, she licked her lips and it seemed that she wanted to utter a scream, but Sally just put her finger on her lips and looked stern and so, Nadine just panted and waited for her limbs to be freed.
„M-may I speak n-now?“, she whispered when Sally had opened the last cuff. Flattered by the other`s submission, Sally smiled and answered:
„As long as you don`t alert our captors, you may.“
„What shall we do now? Get out of the window and run for the next police station?“
Sally shook her head. Of course, this was an obvious thought, but the fact that they had allowed Nadine to scream earlier meant that this house was in a rather remote area. Besides, whilst she was still having her clothes, albeit crumpled and sweaty, Nadine was only dressed in her panties and the bathrobe Sally had borrowed her. Not the best outfit for a chase. And, maybe the most important fact, this would not get them any closer to freeing Dorothea.
„We need these women if we want to do anything against the man who kidnapped Dorothea and arranged your transport to Agadir. So, we will have to come to terms with them. However, I don`t want to just wait here until they decide to show up again.“
Nadine`s eyes widened, but Sally looked out of the window. She could see a small, neglected garden surrounded by a stone wall and some rocky hills. There was no sign of any other houses, but Sally could also not see anyone in the garden. Then, a familiar sound could be heard from the other side of the wall: a car`s tires on a gravel path. Obviously, at least some of their captors were leaving.
„If they haven`t got any other guards left here, we are now alone with not more than three of our captors!“
This did not sound encouraging to Nadine whose eyes widened and who seemed to fight down her tears. Sally showed her a smile that expressed much more confidence than she actually felt and began to rummage their room for anything that could be used as a weapon. There was, however, nothing useful, but when she just wanted to get to the corridor, she could hear female voices from the garden.
Quickly she sneaked to the window and looked down, carefully trying to keep hidden behind the curtain. She could see that it were the woman that seemed to be the right hand of their abductor`s leader, together with one of the two twins that had kidnapped her and Nadine. The latter had changed from her cleaning woman disguise into tight black leather trousers and a matching blouse, emphasizing her shapely and sportive figure.
Sally could not understand the women`s conversation held in Arabic, but since she could not see or hear anyone else, she was almost sure that these two were their only opponents. The only problem was that the remaining twin seemed to be a skilled fighter whilst she had only the frightened Nadine to back her. On the other hand, they had the element of surprise. All they needed was a stratagem.
She went over to Nadine and put her hands on the blonde`s shoulders, steady, but not brutal, looking deep into her eyes:
„Listen, girl, I know that you are scared, but we have to work together now if we want to get out of this and free both your and my friend. I know that deep inside, you have some courage hidden and we will need all this courage now!“
Nadine`s lips trembled and she seemed as if she would burst into tears immediately, but after a while, she cleared her nose and nodded. Sally smiled and kissed her forehead.
„B-but what shall we do? They have arms and-“
„Shhh! We have to play our cards right, no matter how bad they are. They don`t know that we are free and so, whoever will enter this room, will be taken by surprise. We have to find a way to separate them and I already have got an idea. Get to the door and warn me if anyone comes along the corridor!“
Nadine obeyed and Sally took off her shoes. They were light and had nearly no heels, but she needed something she could throw. Looking through the gap between the curtains, she watched the two women and when she was sure that they were looking elsewhere, she threw one of the shoes with all her strength. The garden`s wall was only some six yards apart and so, as Sally had hoped, it landed on the other side, causing a rustle.
Now, the two women seemed to have heard that noise, too, for they had stopped their conversation, obviously concentrating on what was happening. Sally threw the other shoe. Now, the woman in trousers took her gun from her belt and, having hissed something to her companion, she slowly approached the wall.
„I love it if a plan works!“, Sally thought and rushed over to the door, pushing Nadine aside. As she had hoped, the woman in trousers would see if there was anyone to take care of whilst the less strong of their captors would look for their helpless captives. And indeed, after a few seconds, Sally could hear steps on the corridor.
„Mhhrrrmm!“
From the corner of her eye, Sally could see that Nadine was pressing both her fists on her mouth to prevent herself from screaming. A moment later, the door opened.
Sally had never had any Martial Arts training, but she had played together with her brothers and the boys in her street before she had reached adolescence and other games with boys had become more interesting and so, she knew a few things about fighting unfair. She pulled Durya`s leg and when the woman stumbled forward, she slammed both her fists into her neck.
„Uff!“
Since Sally was neither a skilled fighter nor physically strong, Durya was only dazed, but Sally just grabbed her arm, threw her to one of the beds and jumped on her back. It had happened so quick that she had been able to cuff Durza`s hands to the bed before her opponent began to struggle in earnest.
„Nadine, quick, help me!“
Now, there was no longer need to be quiet and besides, it would have been useless anyway. Now, Durya had recovered from her surprise and was screaming and Nadine obviously tried to call for help from a place at least ten miles away, according to her volume.
„And again, Sally the Brave has to win the battle alone!“, she thought when she rolled over to Durya`s legs and managed to cuff her feet, despite her wild flailing. Then, Sally jumped from the bed and looked at the floor. She remembered that Durya had carried a gun and she grabbed it and pressed it against Durya`s temple, grabbing her scalp with her other hand. Only a few seconds later, the other woman entered.
„Well, it seems that-“
Ghina – Charifa had chosen Layanah to accompany her, just because she was the better driver – tried to attack whilst Sally still was speaking, but Sally had expected this move. She rolled over the bed and hid behind it. Durya screamed because Sally still was holding her hair and this move forced her to twist her neck. Ghina, who had tried to kick at Sally, had managed not to stagger, but now, she looked at Sally whose head was now partially hidden behind Durya`s. She still had her gun and she was quite sure that she could hit Sally without hurting Durya. Quite sure, but not absolutely sure.
„Better drop your gun, or there will be more than one dead body! And one of these will be the one of your colleague, that, I promise!“
She pulled on Durya`s hair and the woman involuntarily played in Sally`s game, for she screamed with pain and fear. Obviously, she wasn`t another Amazone.
For a while, no one moved or said a word, the silence was only interrupted by Durya`s painful panting and Nadine`s indistinct sounds she made whilst still crouching in a corner. Sally`s grey eyes met Ghina`s brown ones and finally, the latter lowered her head and dropped her gun. Sally, who feared that if she ordered Nadine to grab the weapon, her opponent would take the chance and grab the blonde, pulled the cock of her gun, pressing the barrel into Durya`s ear.
„Good! Now, lay down on the other bed, on your belly, and cuff your ankles and wrists to the posts!“
Ghina obeyed, acting slowly and waiting for an opportunity to try anything, but finally, she was secured to the bed. Sally let Durya go and carefully approached the other woman. Thoroughly, she inspected if the cuffs were correctly closed and tightly applied. Then, she leaned against the wall and let out a deep breath.
Nadine now slowly stood up, trembling like aspen foliage, and looking at their tied up captors with disbelief. Sally waited for another outburst of the blonde`s emotions, but obviously, she had found some inner strength.
„We – we are free! It`s over!“, she breathed.
„Well, that would be an exaggeration, but now, we have quite a solid base for further negotiations with these women`s employer. Now, all we have to do is to wait for them to come back!“
Nadine nodded. Then, she suddenly hugged Sally and cried on her shoulder. Sally padded her back and whispered something that sounded like she was soothing a pet. Then, after a while, she gently pushed Nadine aside and said:
„Now, if you are finished with behaving like a sniffling sissy, you can perhaps help me with some precautions. First of all, we need to find out if these two have any hidden keys!“
However, Nadine was still fighting with her tears and so, it was on Sally to search both Ghina and Durya. The bodyguard accepted the intimate touches without a sound, but Sally only produced the handcuff`s keys and some small money from her pockets. Durya also tried to remain calm, but she squirmed and twitched when Sally let her hands wander over her body. Sally thought of taking some of her diamond jewelry, but then, another thing came to her mind. Nothing of real importance, but something that would perhaps make Nadine feel a little better.
„Nadine, dear, what would you think about a change of clothes? Getting into something a bit more decent?“
Nadine looked at her with disbelief. She still was clad only in the knee-length silk robe whose belt had loosened and Sally could see her panties, her belly button and parts of her boobs through the gap. Then, she nodded.
„Well, it seems that our host has brought something that`s almost your size! It may be a bit narrow around the chest, but we can`t be too picky, can we?“
Sally slapped Durya`s butt who let out a squeal of surprise. Nadine gasped, too.
„You – you mean-?“
„Of course, I do! It will not only help you to feel better, but also be a bit of a punishment for her and besides, it will perhaps keep her from trying to escape.“
„Charifa will kill you if she`s back!“, Durya now hissed. Sally looked at her and smiled sardonically.
„Oh, thank you of reminding me of something!“
Sally took the scarf that had previously gagged her and pressed it to a ball. Then, again grabbing Durya`s hair, she yanked her head back. The woman yelped with pain and Sally ruthlessly stuffed the still damp silk into her cheeks and throat. Wedging the knot of the scarf that had been used to gag Nadine between her teeth, she knotted the ends tightly at Durya`s neck to secure the mouthfilling. Durya grunted and moaned, but Sally now turned her attention towards Ghina.
„Now, we haven`t got any scarves left, but I am sure that you have got a suitable gag with you, too!“
Sally pushed her hands under Ghina`s belly, opened her belt and pulled it from the belt loops. Then, she peeled down Ghina`s trousers a bit, revealing the edge of a pair of black, plain panties. Remembering another torture from her childhood, Sally grabbed this edge and pulled. More of the black satin appeared and Ghina let out a sharp breath before she bit her teeth to remain calm. Sally now pulled with all her strength. Ghina`s cheeks reddened slightly and she showed a strained axpression when the panties were pulled deeper and deeper into her crotch, but she persisted and did not utter a sound. Then, the seams finally tore and Sally nearly landed on her backside, holding the torn garment in her hand.

„Now, say aah!“
Ghina tried to say something more than just that, but her curses were soon stifled by Sally who quickly worked the balled up panties into her mouth. According to Ghina`s eyes, she didn`t like the taste. Sally now took her belt, slung it twice around Ghina`s head and between her teeth and buckled it tight. When she nodded with glee, she could see Nadine staring at her.
„That – that was mean!“
„Mhhmph!“, Ghina seemed to agree to that and Durya added some moans, too. Sally went over to the other woman and began to work on her dress. It was sleeveless and only secured by two silver clasps at the shoulders and so, Sally could easily pull it down to Durya`s ankles, despite the woman`s squirming.
„Wow! Do you also want a change in underwear, Nadine?“
Durya was sporting a very flimsy, knee-length white slip with Spaghetti straps, almost transparent and with a lace trim. Sally could clearly see her equally white and lacy panties and garter belt through the thin material – and the fact that Durya was wearing no bra.
Nadine shook her head and so, Sally only removed Durya`s shoes, but left her silk stockings in place. Then, she opened one of her ankle cuffs, pulled the dress over her foot and retied her ankle. Sally repeated the procedure and now could hand both the dress and the shoes to Nadine who took it as if with some hesitation.
„Come on, these might be still a bit warm, but you will feel more decent than now! And if the worst thing to happen is that me and these two will see your boobies, we are very, very lucky!“
Reluctantly, Nadine took off the bathrobe and quickly slipped into the dress. It proved that, since Durya also was small, but busty, that it fit her quite well, as did the shoes. Nadine even looked at herself in the wand mirror and indeed seemed to feel better.
„Now, for one last thing. Nadine, a hand, please!“
Together, they pushed the beds together, in a way that the two foot ends touched. Sally now ripped off the curtain strings and secured the beds in that position. Then, she took the belt of the bathrobe and knotted one end to the belt that secured the panties in Ghina`s mouth. Now, the woman grunted when Sally pulled her head backwards until she could reach for the ends of the scarf tied around Durya`s mouth. Again, she pulled until there wasn`t any slack left and tied the scarf`s ends to that of the bathrobe`s belt. The two women lying on their bellies now had to arch their backs and not only had both captives to bend their heads backwards, the position also stretched their arms and would prevent them to reach for their gags. These were pushed even deeper into the two women`s mouths by the tight belt between their napes. Again, Nadine seemed to be a bit horrified by Sally`s meanness, but she just padded the blonde reporter`s shoulder.
„Now, let`s see if our captors have something delicious downstairs. Winning a fight always makes me hungry!“
***
At the torture chamber, both Dorothea and Magda had to kneel near one of the walls whilst the three black women obviously discussed which punishment would be the best. Dorothea hoped that Cheikh not only insisted on keeping them alive, but also without the loss of limbs or not covered with scars. On the other hand, she knew from experience that there were several methods to torture a person without leaving any marks.
„I hope they won`t put me into some Iron Maiden or something like that!“, she thought. Dorothea still sometimes had nightmares from when she had been stowed inside the sarcophagus for two entire days, unable to move or utter a sound. In a corner, there was something that looked like such an Iron Maiden and the long thorns on it`s inner walls didn`t make it look more inviting.
However, Youra suddenly said something that seemed to be appreciated by her friends, too. They turned back to the captives and Bineta reached for the end of Magda`s leash, forcing her to stand up.
„Since you two obviously like to play and you are a dancer, how about playing like we are in a circus?“
The others brought two chairs and placed them side by side. Bineta stepped on one of them and forced Magda to stand on the other. Then, she reached up and tied the end of Magda`s leash to a hook at the ceiling. When she let her go, Magda still had no problems to breathe since the leash was left quite loose, but she would have no chance to sit down or to jump from the chair without strangling herself.
„Well, that looks like agony after some time, but I don`t see what this has got to do with a circus.“
However, Dorothea`s curiosity didn`t have to wait for long. From an adjacent chamber, Lamina brought a large red ball. First, Dorothea thought that it was something else, but then, she saw that it was indeed a large rubber ball, maybe some two feet in diameter.
Lamina placed the ball in front of Magda`s chair. One moment later, Bineta grabbed the chair`s backrest and pulled. With no other chance, except for hanging herself, Magda stepped forward and tried to balance on the large ball. Lamina waited until the girl had more or less managed to stand still. Then, she let the ball go.
„Mmhhmmph!“
Immediately, the ball began to move, and Magda had to concentrate hard to remain standing on it. Now, they understood the circus association: like the dancers in the arena, Magda had to stay on the ball. Dorothea had seen dancers who had been playing an instrument whilst standing or even walking on such balls, but these had not had their wrists tied and when they fell off, they risked losing their dignity, but not breaking their neck.
When Youra once again left the room, Dorothea had to fight down a panic attack. Magda had been a professional dancer and so, keeping balance was an easy task for her, even under such circumstances. But she lacked such skills. Dorothea had hardly a sense for rhythm and was a lousy dancer. So, she sighed with relief when Lamina came back with a small tray instead of another ball. Whatever was on it was hidden under a towel.
Now, one of the chairs was placed in front of Magda, who had more or less found a way to remain standing without straining her muscles too much. With the help of the other chair, Bineta forced Dorothea to get on this chair and leashed her to the same hook as Magda. Then, Lamina stepped beside her and Youra pulled the towel away from the tray. On it, Dorothea could see a small bowl, filled with a white cream, and a brush. Beside this lay a cutthroat razor.
„We could not persuade Magda to do it by herself so far. But since you two are such good friends now...“
Both girls mewed with protest when they understood what the subtext of these words were. Without any further words, Bineta placed the tray on the empty chair. Then, she uncuffed Dorothea`s wrists from her iron belt.
„Do a good job on her! And better be thoroughly, because evry single hair you look over, I will remove!“
Youra showed a pair of tweezers to the dismayed girls. She let them snap a few times, making the small tool look somehow vicious. Nearly as vicious as the look in her eyes.
„And better hurry up a bit“, Lamina added, „if you are not done before the next 30 minutes, you will stay like this for the whole night!“
The three women sat down and watched their captives who still were looking at each other. For a while, neither Dorothea nor Magda moved, except for the latters small steps to keep balance. Then, Dorothea looked into her new fellow sufferer`s eyes. Though the lower half of Magda`s face was hidden by her gag, she could see that the girl was blushing violently and was showing an expression of horror and humiliation.
Gently, Dorothea caressed her hair. When, after a few seconds, Magda looked at her, she showed her a compassionate look.
„Mhmmmph!“
Dorothea tried to express something like „Sorry, dear, I don`t like this either, but the only alternative is a slow and painful death!“ with her little moan and by the expression of her eyes. It seemed that Magda got the message, for she nodded almost innoticeable and let out a deep sigh.
Dorothea now forced herself to concentrate on her work. Getting Magda to cooperate was by far not the most difficult task in what she had to do. First, she gently lifted the skirtings of Magda`s Dirndl, revealing her panties, and tugged the ends into her belt. Again, she looked up to her companion as if to say „Sorry“, but Magda did not look down.
She reached for the sides of Magda`s panties and slowly peeled them down to her knees. A gasping and a slight trembling told her how hard Magda had to force herself to concentrate on keeping her balance instead of flailing about.
Dorothea could hear a giggle from the three watching women, but she now tried to get the bowl and the brush from the chair. With her neck leashed to the ceiling, this meant some contortions, but in the end, she was holding both in her hands. Sighing deeply, Dorothea put some cream on the brush and carefully applied it on Magda`s pubic mound.
„Mhhmmmhhmmm!“
Again, Magda trembled and sent little sounds through her gag. Obviously, she was not only deeply embarrassed, but also very ticklish down there. She staggered and nearly lost balance on the ball whose surface had already been covered with some of the girl`s sweat.
Dorothea withdrew, thinking of a solution to that problem. When she looked around, she could see Youra pointing at her left wrist, as if she wanted to tell Dorothea that time was on the agenda. The blonde stared daggers at her, but then, she had an idea. Her chair looked quite stable and it offered a backrest. She managed to sit down on it and now, she could keep the bowl with the shaving cream between her thighs. Then, she leaned forward and put her left hand on Magda`s bare butt.
„Mmhhmmph?“
This nearly caused another panic attack, but now, Dorothea could assist Magda in keeping her balance. After a few seconds, Magda seemed to understand and calmed down. Now, Dorothea took the brush and quickly, but thoroughly covered the other`s pubic area with a thick coat of foam.
„So, now, only the shaving is left!“
When she reached for the razor, the bowl fell down, but it didn`t matter. Dorothea opened the knife, tested the blade and showed it to Magda. The brown haired girl gulped and Dorothea feared she would faint, but then, she once again nodded.
During her year as a military nurse, Dorothea had shaved men (only in their faces) who had been mad with pain. And a few months ago, she had been forced to shave Sally (not in her face) by the slavers who had kidnapped them. This experience enabled Dorothea to slowly, but thoroughly scrape all hair from her companion`s pubic mound without hurting her. She had to admit that Magda showed a great amount of self control, only sighing or gasping from time to time. But the girl also had to keep balance and so, it was a real challenge to both women`s physical and mental capacity.
Dorothea wiped some sweat from her forehead. She felt as if she had just worked eight hours in a pit, and now, the really difficult part began. She would have to shave Magda between her legs, too. Not only meant this that she had to touch her on her most intimate parts, but also, the girl could not spread her legs to make this easier. Biting down on the plug in her mouth to prevent her hand from trembling, Dorothea moved her hand forward.
„Uuhhmm!Mmhhmmph!“
Magda suddenly moved her legs. Dorothea feared that she had lost balance, but Magda just shimmied her panties down to her ankles. Now, she was able to open her knees some more and with admirable body control, she managed to stand bow-legged. It looked a bit ridiculous and not the least decent, but it helped Dorothea to remove the last obstinate hairs from her friend`s (after what they had went through, Dorothea called her so) pubic area. With a sigh, she dropped the razor after she was finished. She wanted to sink on her seat, but a tug on her leash reminded her that this would be a bad idea.
So, she just stood on her chair, panting and with trembling hands, when Youra came over and examined her work. It seemed that Dorothea had done a good job, for she only used the tweezers three or four times. Each time, Magda gasped with pain, but she did not squeal.
„Right, now, we have to prepare for our evening with our husband. Originally, he wanted to spend the night with you, Dorothea, but I think that it will be better for you to get a glimpse of what will happen to those who talk too much about our little games. I will tell him that you have some lady problems and so, he will wait a few days. In the meantime, we will make sure that you will be loyal and silent once you are alone with him!“
Stepping on the chair, she took both women`s leashes from the hook. Both Dorothea and Magda immediately jumped from their chair respectively ball, collapsing on the ground. Magda, still red like a beetroot, looked at the blonde with a wild, yet enigmatic expression and so, Dorothea lowered her head. She had already tried to excuse for what she had been forced to do and with the gag in her mouth, she could not put her compassion into words.
„Oouuhhmm!“
It turned out that both Bineta`s threats and Dorothea`s mute apologies did not reach Magda`s ears. The girl`s eyes suddenly twisted and, uttering a sigh, she fainted. Dorothea, whose hands were still unbound, went over to her and embedded Magda`s head on her lap. Bineta laughed and meant sarcastically:
„I knew that you know to make a woman stagger, but obviously, I underestimated you!“
Then, turning a bit more serious, she added:
„I would have liked to find out more about your – abilities, but tonight, I have to fulfil my marital obligations.“
She sighed and shrugged and suddenly, Dorothea felt a little sympathy for her and Cheikh`s other wives: they obviously didn`t like living in the harem, but their society prohibited them any escape like a divorce. These women were victims, too. Unfortunately, they compensated their frustration by tormenting Magda and her.
Indeed, it seemed that Bineta had shooed away her self-pity and once more found some short-lived pleasure in being mean.
„All right, Lamina, Youra, time to get ready! But before, we will make sure that Magda will face a nice surprise once she wakes up again!“
