Through the window, Vanessa had seen that three women were sitting in the living room. She had not been able to hear what they had been talking about, but Vanessa was quite sure that there was nobody else in the house – nobody but Christina Palsson.
The house`s back door was no match for Vanessa`s picklocking skills and so, she was able to sneak on the dark corridor. From behind one of the doors, she could hear the women talk. Without a sound Vanessa, whose eyes had adjusted to the dark, examined the other doors. One of these opened to some stairs leading downwards.
„I am quite sure that she`s in the cellar“, Vanessa thought and, after an assuring look to the living room door, she sneaked down. After some 20 steps, she was standing in front of a massive iron door. She pressed her ear against it, but could hear no sound from the inside. When Vanessa looked through the keyhole, she could see nothing but blackness.
Carefully, always listening to sounds from above, Vanessa managed to open the lock and when she slowly opened the door, she found out it was well oiled and moved quite easily. So, Vanessa sneaked inside and closed the door behind her.
Closing the door caused a small sound and this caused a faint moaning from something – someone – not far away. Vanessa could see nothing, but she now could hear some strained breathing and she could also smell a mixture of perfume and sweat.
„Mrs. Palsson? Mrs. Christina Palsson?“, Vanessa whispered.
„Mhhmm? Uuhhmmmm! Mmhhmmph!“
The answer was a quite vocal moaning and so, Vanessa hissed to Tina that she should calm down.
Then, she went over to where she guessed Tina was located. Being new to this world, Vanessa didn`t know much about electric flashlights and so, she had none with her, but as a burglar, she was used to work in complete darkness. Guided by her ears and her nose, she soon could feel some rough canvas and when she grabbed it, she knew that she had reached Tina.
„Mmhhrrrmmm!“
The other woman suddenly twitched and started to produce scratching sounds.
„Easy, I am here to help you!“
Tina answered with a howling sound. Unbeknownst to Vanessa, Tina had needed all her agility to find a position that had allowed her not to slip or to lose her balance on the table she was kneeling on. Her legs had already begun to hurt and cramp and Tina had hardly dared to breathe. However, the tight leather strap bisecting her crotch had reminded her what would happen to her if she slipped. Whenever she moved her hips or thighs the tiniest bit, the strap rubbed over her soft flesh, sending strays of pain through her loins. When she remained absolutely still, the pain was rather dull and tolerable, but if she moved-
And now, the surprising touch of the other woman`s hand had destroyed her fragile balance. Tina`s knees slid over the smooth surface of the table and she screamed through her gag when she suddenly hung from her crotch rope and a painful pull almost caused her to faint. She desperately tried to find a stable position again, flailing with her bound and folded legs and squirming in her straight jacket. Suddenly, she felt that the other woman had grabbed her, pressing her against the post.
„Uuuuhhmmmm!“
Tina sighed with relief when the pain between her legs reduced and involuntarily, she reared up her pelvis. With dismay, she realized that in the dark, the other`s hand had found it`s way between her legs and that she was pressing her pubic mound against it.
„Hey, we should have supper together before we get that close!“
„Mmhrrrmmm!“
Tina grunted angrily. Was her strange rescuer thinking that this was a game. With an annoyed grunt, she demanded to be freed.
Then, the door burst open and the lights went on. Vanessa, blinded by the sudden brightness, twisted around – again causing Tina to lose balance. In the door, Stephanie was standing, holding a gun.
Vanessa had hardly any experience with electricity and so, she had failed to notice the alarm wire at the cellar`s door that had informed the women in the living room about Vanessa`s presence.
„Well, whom have we got here?“
Before Stephanie could say more, Vanessa had darted forward and kicked the gun from Stephanie`s hand. With a blow to the neck, she sent the girl to the ground. Surprised, but not knocked out, Stephanie rolled over and was already back on her feet when Vanessa had left for the staircase – where she was looking into the guns held by Dr. Meyer and Alinda.
For a second, Vanessa thought whether she should try to break through, but at the same time, Stephanie had grabbed her long brown hair and forced her to her knees.
„Now, will you please answer my question: who are you?“
„Uuuhhmmm! Mmmhhmmmm! Nnnggg!“
Tina, who was still hanging from her crotch rope, pleaded to be released, mad from the line of sheer pain between her legs. Quickly, Dr. Meyer and Alinda grabbed her arms and the latter removed the leash from her crotch strap. The, they embedded Tina on the floor where she weakly squirmed and moaned with pain.
Vanessa tried to take the opportunity to break free, but this time, Stephanie was prepared and increased her painful grip at Vanessa`s scalp. Now, Dr. Meyer stepped in front of the kneeling woman.
„Who are you?“
Stephanie pulled on Vanessa`s hair, forcing her to look directly into Dr. Meyer`s face. She gasped with pain, but then, she smiled and answered:
„If I would tell you, I would have to kill you!“
For a moment, everyone was silent and even Tina had stopped moaning and panting. Rubbing her face over the concrete floor, she managed to get Stephanie`s panties from one of her eyes and could take a look at the other woman. She had never seen her before and had no idea who she was.
The other woman, who seemed to be some four inches smaller than her, had long brown hair, brown eyes and was clad entirely in black. A tight black pullover and black leather trousers emphasized her sportive figure and she was wearing matching black boots. In her belt, Tina could see a dagger in a sheath.
„So, you are refusing to talk? Well, I will try again – later!“
She stepped back and held her gun pointing at Vanessa. Whilst Stephanie kept her in a vice grip, Alinda quickly searched the woman, taking the dagger and some burglar tools from her. Alinda also took advantage and massaged Vanessa`s boobs.
„So, you prefer not to wear a bra, dear? Well, it feels as if you can do so!“
Vanessa had no idea what exactly she was talking about, but she commented the unwanted touch with an annoyed grunt.
Alinda removed Vanessa`s belt and also her boots, revealing her bare feet. Then, she went for one of the cupboards and fetched two pairs of handcuffs.
Tina watched with dismay as her potential rescuer was put into a tight hogtie by tying her left ankle to her right wrist and vice versa. Then, Stephanie stepped over to her.
„I know that you love my fragrance, but unfortunately, I have another use for these!“
She pulled her panties from Tina`s head and, again pulling hard on Vanessa`s hair, she stuffed them into the other`s mouth. Vanessa retched and Tina could see her eyes bulge, but Alinda just secured the panty gag with some strips of black tape.
Now, Dr. Meyer sat down on the bench and took Tina`s shoulders, pulling her upper body between her legs and caressing Tina`s hair. Tina turned her head, trying to look up to the frightening woman, when she felt hands between her legs.
„Mmhhmmph! Nnnggg!“
However, Stephanie just opened the belt tied between her legs. With a deep groan of relief, Tina shifted her hips. Then, when circulation came back, accompanied by a painful and irritating tingling, she whimpered through her gag.
„I know, you want to be treated with more tenderness there, Tina“, Stephanie purred, cupping her pubic mound with her hand and slightly massaging it. Tina tried to twitch back, but now, Dr. Meyer inreased her grip and Stephanie put her knee between Tina`s, preventing her from pressing her legs together. She squirmed and tried to fight the two mean women off, but bound and gagged as she was, she had no chance to keep Stephanie from massaging her crotch through her panties.
„Uuuhhmmmm! Mmhhmmmmm!“
„Oh yeah, I like it, too!“, Stephanie panted into Tina`s ear. She increased her moves and now, her fingers found a way into Tina`s panties, brushing through her pubic hair and touching her labia.
„Mmhhhrrrmmmm!“
Maybe, it was sweat, maybe, it was a reaction to her fear and pain, but Tina suddenly felt one of Stephanie`s fingers slide inside her. She bit down on her gag and, blushing all over, prepared to endure the humiliation, but after some moving, Stephanie withdrew her hand from her panties.
„She`s not quite ready yet. Well, we have time to work on that!“
To Tina`s embarrassment, Stephanie held her wet index finger to her nose and sniffed on it. Then, she held it to Dr. Meyer who also tested the fragrance. Playfully, Stephanie then poked the tip of Tina`s nose before licking her finger. Then, she reached for the crotch strap and buckled it back in place.
When the two turned their attention to Vanessa, Tina found out that this time, the strap was not as tightly applied as before. It felt irritating, but no longer as if a red hot iron had been placed there. She squirmed in her bonds to watch what they were doing to the brown haired woman now.
Taking a long chain with a hook on one end, they put it through an eyelet in the ceiling and hung the short chains of Vanessa`s cuffs to the hook. Then, Stephanie and Alinda pulled until Vanessa was hanging from her limbs and ached with pain. After some time, however, they pushed the table under her belly, allowing her to relax her arms and legs a bit. In this position, they fixed the chain to the wall, forcing Vanessa to remain lying on her belly. She looked at Tina with a puzzled look. The taste of the used panties in her mouth was vile and Vanessa also was angry at herself that she had been overpowered so fast.
Dr. Meyer now examined the things she had taken from Vanessa. She took the dagger and tested the blade.
„I have never seen such a thing before. Well, whoever you are, we will have to see whether you have some accomplices out there. In the meantime, we will get you to talk. Believe me, sooner or later, you will speak!“
Taking Vanessa`s belongings with them, the three women left. This time, they left on the light, allowing Tina and Vanessa to look at each other.

„Mmmhhmmph! Uuhhmmph!“
Shifting her position on the cold metal table, Vanessa turned her body to be able to look at Tina. Communication, however, was a different task. Both women`s mouths were thoroughly stuffed and whilst Vanessa had her mouth plastered with sticky tape, Tina had a leather strap tied between her lips, so tight it cut into the corners of her mouth.

„Is she really the Princess of Light?“, Vanessa wondered. To her, Tina looked pretty, but not very spectacular. She guessed that the blonde was about her age, maybe, a bit older. Not the young girl in her prime anymore, though she could not see much of her upper body and the gag distorted her facial expression. She only could see that Tina had shapely legs, now folded and tied ankle to thigh. Vanessa felt pity for Tina when she saw the crotch strap and she shuddered when she remembered that she had touched her there previously. Vanessa wasn`t against women in general, but touching an unknown woman that intimately was a different task.
„Mmhhmmph! Uuhhmmm!“
Being a thief, Vanessa had been tied up before and she had already checked her bonds. The cuffs were applied too tightly to pull her hands from it, but perhaps, she could get off the hook that connected her to the ceiling. Then, it would be perhaps painful, but not impossible to slide from the table and to roll over to Tina.
With a grunt, Vanessa shifted again, trying to look at the hook that went through the chains of the cuffs hogtying her. It would be a battle between her litheness and gravity, hampered by her restrictions in movement, her growing exhaustion and the fact that she had to breathe only through her nose. But Vanessa persisted.
Tina, who had tried to communicate with the other woman, too, now saw the other`s head disappear from view. She mmphed through her gag, but now, another shudder made her cringe. As long as her attempts to speak to Vanessa had distracted her, she had been able to ignore her body, but now, she felt her pelvis in a way that was irritating, embarrassing – and intriguing. The now more loosely applied crotch strap no longer tortured her, but it was still there and besides, her sore flesh, now no longer compressed and squeezed, had begun to tingle and to itch. It felt a bit like when the blood flew back to a numb limb, but it was much more intense. Tina almost instinctively moved her hips, rubbing her pubic mound against the strap to soothe this irritation. Indeed, it felt better, but as soon as she stopped, the tingling started again.
„I must stop! I would rather die than to let this Stephanie see me rubbing my private parts against that damned strap!“
Tina shuddered from the memory of how Stephanie had pushed her finger inside her and then licked it. She never had been touched there by a woman before – well, except for her gynecologist – and she definitely wanted that to happen again. She hardly had touched herself in the years after her husband`s death, hardly ever felt the warm sensation of-
„Mmhmmph! Nnnggg!“
Tina blinked and tried to pull herself together. She had started to accelerate her moves, allowing the crotch strap to massage her and to pull deeper between her labia that had swollen from growing arousal. Panting, Tina forced herself to lie absolutely still and to stop thinking about the promising touch of the leather strap.
„Oh, at least, she`s trying to make the best of it!“, Vanessa thought.
After several attempts, she had managed to unhook her hands and feet. Now, Vanessa still was hogtied and gagged, but at least, she could squirm from one place to another. Closing her eyes, she had concentrated on the most difficult part: getting from the table. This table wasn`t high, but without being able to use her arms or legs, she would land on the hard concrete. However, Vanessa bit down on the panties stuffing her mouth, retching when some saliva mixed with whatever it was ran down heer throat, and rolled over.
„Mph!“
She landed on her front and so, she squeezed her boobs that took most of the impact. Then, after some panting, Vanessa began to crawl towards her companion. Tina was still lying on her back, her legs open towards Vanessa, allowing her to watch her crotch. To Vanessa`s astonishment, there now was a wet spot, partially covered by the leather strap, on her underwear. „Panties“, they were called, Vanessa suddenly remembered. When she had arrived at this Earth, her first effort had been to disguise like a woman from here, but she still was sporting her traditional loincloth and wore nothing beneath her pullover.
When she approached Tina, her sharp senses also noticed a specific fragrance and she involuntarily had to grin. The Princess of Light definitely wasn`t all innocent!
Tina jerked when suddenly something touched her right knee. When she looked down, she saw that it was Vanessa who had somehow managed to free herself from the ceiling hook and to get over to her. She began to wriggle, too, and now, both women tried to get into a position that allowed them to work on their bonds.
It was rather difficult, but finally, Vanessa`s fingers were close to the buckles of the strap tied between Tina`s lips and when it loosened, the blonde could finally work the sodden cloth from her mouth. Panting and croaking, Tina oppressed her urge to scream and instead looked at Vanessa who had brought her head closer to hers.
„Who – who are you?“, she breathed.
„Mmhhmmph!“
Vanessa brought her chin forward and Tina knew what she had to to now, though it disgusted her. But her hands were trapped inside the straight jacket and so, she could not use her fingers top peel the tape from Vanessa`s mouth. She had to use her mouth.
Grimacing from revulsion, she began to lick on a corner of the tape and then began to pull on it with her teeth. Vanessa helped by pushing against her gag with her tongue and finally, the white panties fell to the floor, followed by some saliva.
„Phew, I hope I only tasted your sweat! By the way, I am Vanessa!“
„T – Tina“, Tina stammered. Something made her introduce herself by her nickname to the brown haired woman.
„So, it`s Princess Tina, Your Highness“, Vanessa said, bowing her head a little.
„Wha – what are you talking about? Is this some kind of joke? I must say that you and your friends definitely went too far! I will call the police!“
„Joke? Which friends? What are you talking about, Your Highness?“
„Stop calling me that! There is no need to be too formal and you may call me Tina, but what is that Princess nonsense about? I demand an explanation!“
„Maybe, we should concentrate on freeing us first. These three women are definitely none of my friends and if they come back, I would prefer to be prepared!“
With some effort, Vanessa managed to open the buckles of Tina`s straight jacket, allowing her to wriggle herself out of it. Before Tina removed the straps immobilizing her legs, she pulled down the hem of her skirt, hiding her panties with the treacherous spot on them.
„Aaaahhh!“
It felt marvellous to be able to stretch her legs again. Tina knew that it would take some time until she could get up again and so, she examined Vanessa`s handcuffs.
„If I had my picklocks, I had them off already“, the woman sighed. Both now looked for something that could be used as a makeshift key, but the keyholes of the handcuffs were too small for the thorns of the buckles. Tina rose and tested the cupboards doors, but they were all locked and their captors had taken the keys with them. With vanishing hope, Tina also tried the cellar`s door, but it had been firmly locked, too.
„Now, we haven`t got very far! And if they come back for us, they will also punish us for the little we achieved!“
„Why don`t you use your magic skills, Your High- Tina?“
Again, Tina looked down at the still hogtied woman as if she had lost her mind. Was this a strange case of mistaken identity or had Vanessa just escaped from a lunatic`s asylum? With growing anger, she asked for an explanation. With a sigh, Vanessa began:
„I have been sent by the defenders of the Throne of Light – or rather, by it`s former defenders, since the throne is vacant for some 50 years now!“
„I must say that this actually raises more questions than it answers“, Tina said ironically and sat down on the table. Vanessa continued and though Tina still thought that her companion was mad, she listened with growing fascination.
„The last Queen of Light died 53 years ago, leaving no legitimate heir – at least, that`s what most people think!“
Now, Tina could not help giggling. Of course, when she had been a little girl, she had played the Princess, like her friends did. But although she had grown up in rather splendit conditions, her parents had not been aristocrates and besides – 53 years ago had been long before her birth!
„On his deathbed, the Queen`s husband confessed that he once travelled to your Earth and had an affair with a woman. Obviously, he fathered a child – your father. That was some 83 years ago!“
Tina now frowned. Indeed, her father would have been 82 if he still lived, but then, she asked:
„What are you talking about your Earth and my Earth all the time? You look quite European to me and I can`t even notice an accent in your speech!“
Vanessa shrugged.
„I can`t explain that either, but maybe, my Earth was settled by people from yours some thousands of years ago. Some of our researchers believe so and besides, there are still some portals between our worlds. There must be, otherwise, I wouldn`t be here!“
Tina`s head ached from all the information, but there was still the more present problem that they still were the prisoners of Dr. Meyer and her assistants. Those were definitely from this Earth and they were the henchmen of her evil cousin.
„Vanessa, if you expect me to open this door by just saying Abrakadabra, I must disappoint you! We must think of something more rational to get out of here!“
The plan they finally developed was far from being spectacular or even promising, but it was the only chance the two captives had. Tina unhooked the chain from the ceiling. It was the only weapon they had. Then, she sat beside the door and looked through the keyhole if someone was approaching. They both knew: with Vanessa still tied up, they had no chance if all three women came at the same time.
However, it seemed that at least a bit of luck was on their side.
„It`s Alinda and she`s alone!“
Indeed, the girl, holding a tray with some cups and a pot on it, approached the door. She put down the tray, unlocked the door and opened it.
Before Alinda could yell or even noticed what had happened, Tina had pulled her inside and had slung the chain around her neck.
„Aaahggg!“
Alinda croaked and squirmed, but Tina, who was taller than the petite girl, could wrestle her down and make her hand over the keys of the handcuffs. Once Vanessa had freed herself, they forced Alinda into the straight jacket, pulling the straps as tight as they could. Tina shyed back from tying the crotch strap in place, but Vanessa seemed to have no problems with reaching between the girl`s legs. With considerable glee, Vanessa then forced the still damp panties that had gagged her before into Alinda`s mouth and secured them there with the strap that had cleave-gagged Tina. Then, they slung the girl`s legs around the post and cuffed her ankles.
„Now, let`s go, Your Highness!“
They rushed out of the cellar and up the stairs where Vanessa knew the way to the back door.
Without looking back, they headed for the bushes where they hid, panting. Then, Vanessa reached for her chest and cursed.
„My amulet! They must have it! Without it, we won`t get back to my Earth!“
„Oh, stop that nonsense, Vanessa! All we have to do is to get to the next house with a telephone, call the police and get these women, my cousin and her husband arrested! We can play Princess once we are safe!“
„The portal is only open until the day after tomorrow!“, Vanessa blurted. Tina was about to tell Vanessa in very harsh words what she thought about these crazy stories about a vacant throne waiting for her in another world when she suddenly spotted something dangerous in the real world and pulled the other down to the ground.
Some 200 yards away, Dr. Meyer had stepped outside the house and was working on a tarpauline that covered something quite big. After loosening some strings, she pulled away the cloth and revealed a car. Obviously, the doctor had connections to the U. S. Army, for it was a Jeep.
„Vanessa, if we can knock her out, we can take the car and make our escape!“
The other woman hesitated and now, Tina became sarcastic:
„I know, that for you, this is a dangerous and magic coach without horses, but in my world, it`s a quick and convenient way to get out of here and besides, I know how to drive a car!“
Vanessa replied in an eqally sarcastic tone:
„I do indeed not know much about such vehicles, and little do I know about your firearms. But I can see that that woman has brought one with her!“
Now, Tina looked closer and saw that Vanessa was right: a shotgun was leaning on the wall, some two yards away from the car.
„If we attack her when she is on the other side, we can maybe take the gun and overpower her“, Tina pondered. She was looking for Stephanie and Alinda, but could see none of them. Perhaps, they hadn`t recognized their getaway yet and Alinda was still bound and gagged in the cellar.
„Well, you give the orders, Your Highness!“
Vanessa waited until Dr. Meyer had walked behind the car and then, she started to run, followed by Tina. None of them had a weapon, for they had left the chain behind and Alinda hadn`t been wearing her gun. But if they reached the shotgun in time-
When they were still some 20 yards away from the car, the doctor appeared on the car`s frontside. She gasped and headed for the shotgun, but Vanessa had reached it before her and rose the weapon. She had never before fired a gun, but it looked close enough to a crossbow that she understood how to hold it.
„Hands up, bitch!“
„And give us the car keys!“, Tina added.
Dr. Meyer had risen her hands up, ut now, she slowly put them down, smiling at the two women. Vanessa stepped one step forward and pointed at her with the gun. Still smiling, the doctor said:
„All you need to get the deer out of it`s hideout is a proper bait!“
Puzzled, the two women looked at her. When the doctor reached for her pocket, Vanessa pulled the trigger. To her, the clicking sound didn`t mean much, but Tina understood it immediately: the shotgun hadn`t been loaded. Then, she saw that Dr. Meyer had drawn a small gun.
„This one is loaded, as you may find out if you try anything stupid. And the revolver in Stephanie`s hand is loaded, too!“
Vanessa spun around and saw the mentioned woman standing some ten yards away, holding a gun in her right. The thief cursed and for a moment, she thought about throwing the empty gun at her and to run away. But even if she had been able to disarm Stephanie, ther still was the other woman. So, she dropped her gun and raised her hands.
„So, you have decided to dislike our hospitality. I am sorry, but letting you two go is not an option. Of course, Alinda will be punished for being so careless, but you have also strained my patience. So, I decided you need some education!“
Vanessa mumbled somethig that didn`t sound very well-educated and Tina once again repeated her „you will never get away with this“, though she more and more was convinced that the doctor would get away with anything they did to her and Vanessa.
„To disencourage you from further escape attempts, let`s start by taking your clothes! Strip, and I mean everything!“
„No, I won`t!“
Tina put her hands on her hips and looked defiantly, but the doctor did not even frown. Instead, she fired between Tina`s legs, so close that the blonde yelped and jumped backwards.
„Oops, I missed your left little toe by one inch! Perhaps, I should aim on something bigger – your head or your chest, for example!“
Tina knew that she was defeated – at least for the moment. Desperately, she looked around if someone had been alerted by the shot, but she could see no one but their captors. Reluctantly, she began to unbutton her blouse.
