Hell - The Mother's Circle (M/Ffm)

[KP Presents]

“Now then,” he said as he walked to the school gates, the eleven-year-old girl holding his hand, “you know what you need to do?”

“Go in and stay in the school until you come and collect me?”

“That’s right Kerry,” he said with a smile. “We’ll go and see Mum after I collect you, and you can stay in my room again tonight.”

“And him?”

“He doesn’t know where you are staying – and I think he’ll be too drunk to come here. But if he does, I have a friend looking out for you as well.”

“But what about after today?”

“After today, Kerry, you and Mum are going to go for a holiday – while I take care of business. It’s cleared with the school, but keep it a secret for now, okay?”

The girl nodded as she headed in, her brother watching until she walked in, and she saw the headmaster nod. He had work to do…


“Phhlhshnnthrhthm.”

“Just sit quietly, lady, and nobody gets hurt,” the young man said she looked at Rhonda. The thirty-year-old blonde was wearing a red tartan dress with sleeves that came halfway to her wrists, and a skirt split to the side which came down over her knees, covering the tops of her brown boots. The man was wearing a blue shirt over a white t-shirt, jeans and shoes, but he also had latex gloves on his hands and a black eye mask – and as he stood up, she saw her children sitting on the couch.

She had opened the door and then was forced to let him come in – his hand over her mouth as he kicked the door closed and said “I am Hell – and if you don’t do exactly what I say, then this place will be hell, for you and for your children. Do you understand, Rhonda McLean?”

Rhonda had nodded as she saw her three children come out. Elisa was ten years old, and was wearing her own tartan dress, the pleated skirt coming to her knees, and brown cowboy boots. Eric and Ernie were eight years old, and as twins were dressed identically – shirts with the same red tartan as the dresses, tan pants and tan riding boots.

They had stood, speechless as the man looked at them and said “just do what I tell you to do, everyone stays safe and well. So don’t scream, and don’t run, or Mummy regrets it, understand?”

They had all nodded as he walked Rhonda into the front room, the kids walking in front of them before they sat on the couch, and he had made Rhonda pull the curtains across the windows.

“Who are you,” she said quietly as he pulled her wrists behind her back.”

“I told you, I am Hell,” he said as he pulled some rope from his pocket and used it to secure her wrists together behind her back, “and I have come to this house today. I am going to rob you, take your money your valuables, everything – and I will do the same to anyone else who comes here today. You will do exactly what I tell you to do – understand?”

Rhonda had nodded – and then he had used more cord to bind her ankles together, before he had pressed the silver tape down over her mouth. Then he had done the same to each of her children – taken their wrists behind their backs and tied them together with cord, then tied their ankles together – having removed their boots first – before he had gagged them with the silver tape. They looked at their mother as she said “Hmfhhrrhprhhdhfuh. Dhnttmhfthmhsh.”

The three of them nodded as Hell picked up Rhonda’s handbag and removed her phone, turning it off and setting it to the side. “I know you have some other mothers coming,” he said as he looked at her. “Don’t worry y- they are going to be just like you.”

Rhonda could only nod as she heard the front doorbell ring, and the masked man slipped out as she listened.

“Hey – what the hell… LET HER GO!”

“Lady, shut the hell up – and this is Hell saying it, so you will shut up.”

“Mummy, who is the man?”

“It’s all right Mindy; he’s not going to hurt you…”

“If you two behave and stop trying to raise the alarm, we’ll all get along just fine – now get in there.”

As they looked to the door, Rhonda and her children saw a mother and daughter walk in. They were wearing black and white checked dresses – The woman had long red hair, her dress with a deep V-neckline and elbow length sleeves, the skirt coming almost to her knee and a wide black leather belt round her waist. She was also wearing black hose and knee length black leather boots.

Her daughter looked to be the same age as Elisa, with a round neckline on her dress and a thin black leather belt round her waist. She was also wearing black leather boots, but her legs were bare, while a think black headband with cat’s ears held back her blonde hair. She had a black handbag over her shoulder, while her mother had a red one.

“Rhonda – are you all right? Kids?”

The all nodded as Hell said “right – handbags off and on the floor and then put your hands behind your back. You need to be like the others.”

“Mummy, it looks scary…”

“I know Mindy,” her mother said, “but the man is angry, and we don’t him to be angrier do we?”

“No Mummy…”

“Listen to your mother, Mindy,” Hell said as she pulled her hands behind her back and lashed her wrists together. “Rhonda and her kids are behaving – so you and Mindy do the same Mandy.”

“How do you know my name?”

“I am Hell,” he said as he pulled the rope tightly round her wrists behind her back, “I know everything.

“Everything. Mindy – sit with the other. Mandy – sit in the armchair.”

Mindy slowly walked over and pushed herself onto the seat next to Eliza, looking at the bound and gagged friend while Hell knelt down and bound her ankles tightly together. He then tore a strip of tape from the roll and pressed it over her mouth, before he walked over and started to bind her mother’s ankles together.

“Mhhmmhmmschrhd” she mumbled as the rope squeaked on Mandy’s boots.

“I know dear - look, can she sit on my lap, I promise she will not try and get off.”

Hell looked at her and then gagged her before he walked over and lifted Mindy up, placing her on her mother’s lap as she placed her head on Mandy’s chest. “Httlhbhbhlrht,” Mandy said as she kissed her daughter’s head with her taped lips, before there was another knock on the door.

Hell smiled and put a gloved finger to his lips before he went to the front door. The two mothers looked at each other as they listened and heard “MUMMMY!”

“Not a word, lady – get in here, close the door, or your little girl is going to regret it. MOVE!”

Rhonda and Mandy groaned as Hell returned carrying an eight-year-old girl in his arms, his hand over her mouth, her mother walking in front of her. Both of them were wearing black jumpers and jeans, the lower legs in black boots with black socks visible over the top. The young girls’ jumper had a round neckline, and she had a black bow in her long brown hair, while her mother was wearing a gold necklace – and a look of horror on her face as she said, “oh my god – what have we walked into?”

“Hell – for I am Hell,” the masked man said, “who are you and what’s your kid’s name?”

“Bobby – please, don’t hurt Amy…”

“Then do as I say.” He looked at Amy and said, “do you promise not to call for help?” As she nodded, he lowered her to the floor and took his hand away and said, “put your hands behind your back.” As Amy slowly did so, she felt him cross her wrists and then start to tie them together, as Elisa started to fidget and move round.

“Sit still kid – I told you not to struggle,” he said as he tied the ropes off, and then pulled Bobby’s hands behind her back and secured her wrists together.

“Mummy, it hurts…”

“I know, baby,” Bobby said as she looked at Amy, “but we’re going to be like all the others – and if they can behave, so can we. Just do what the man says.”

“Good,” Hell said as he tied the ends off above Bobby’s wrists, “sit on the floor, in front of the couch, and stretch your legs out.” The others watched as they both did so, Rhonda and Mandy nodding as Hell took more ropes and knelt down, starting to bind Amy’s ankles together as he looked up to see Elisa start to twist round, and then to cough.

“Kid, I told you to sit still,” Hell said as he bound Bobby’s ankles together as well and then took the roll of silver tape and gagged the newest arrivals. As Amy put her head on her mother’s arm, Hell stood up and saw Elisa coughing.

“Phllsshdhnhht,” Rhonda said as he looked at Elliza, and for a moment saw his sister sitting there.

“If I take the tape away, do you promise not to call out and scream?”

Eliza looked at him and nodded as he slowly peeled the tape away, letting her couch as Rhonda said “phllssbhrhnhhhrr.” He looked over and nodded as he lifted the young girl up and placed her on her mother’s lap, the boys watching as she rubbed her cheek on her head and said “Hnnhhnbhbbhbhhnhhh.”

“Now then,” Hell said as he picked up the handbags Mandy and Mindy had dropped and placed them to the side, before he looked at everyone, “A nice Mother’s Circle meeting – nice and quiet and…” There was another knock on the door, the others watching as he left the room.


“I’m sorry Mum,” Eliza whispered, “I was so scared…”

“Htshshlrhhttnh,” Rhonda said as they all heard muffled calls fromteh hallway, before Hell walked in with another mother and her eight-year-old daughter. She was an Asian woman, her long brown hair falling over the shoulders of her long grey sleeveless coat which was over a red floral print top. The lower half of her black leggings were tucked into a pair of black quilt effect leather boots.

“Oh Hell…”

“Yhhsshhsh,” Rhonda, Mandy and Bobby said in common as the young girl put a finger to her lips and looked round. She had a white butterfly clip in her black hair and was wearing a grey pinafore dress over a white top, her feet in a pair of black mid-calf boots and her over the knee brown socks with an owl print at the knee itself.

“that’s right – I am Hell, and today I am with you, and you are with me. What is your name?”

“Anna…”

“And the kid?”

“She’s Tabitha – please, don’t hurt my baby…”

“You both do what I tell you, nobody gets hurt.”

Tabitha looked at Eliza as the young girl said “it’s tight, and I feel stiff, but do what he says – I don’t want anyone to get into trouble with him. He scares me…”

The others nodded as the twins swung their legs up and down, and Anna heard the squeak of rope and leather while they twisted their legs around. Swallowing she said, “if you are going to tie us up, let me tie my daughter up – you tell me what to do, and I promise we will not cause trouble.”

Hell nodded as he handed Anna a length of rope. “Put her hands behind her back, cross her wrists, then double the rope over and do exactly what I tell you to do.”

Anna nodded as she knelt behind Tabitha and gently took her hands behind her back. “I have to make this tight, but I won’t hurt you,” she said as she doubled the rope over and tied it round them so they stayed together, and then after she had sat next to Amy and stretched her legs out Anna secured her ankles together in the same way.

“Let me put the tape over my mouth, and then over hers,” she said as she looked at Hell, the masked man nodding as he tore a length of tape from the roll and handed it to her, watching as she pressed it down over her own mouth.

“Shhnhtsbhd,” she said as she looked at Tabitha, the young girl nodding before Anna pressed more tape over her mouth, and then stood up, smiling under the tape as Hell bound her wrists, then sitting on the other side of Bobby as her ankles were secured as well.

Hell stood up and looked around the room, before he searched through all the handbags, putting money and cards into his own bag as the others watched. Eric and Ernie looked across at Eliza and Rhonda as Eric said “Whthhphsnhnhhmhm?”

“Hmnhtshhrrhrr,” Rhonda said as she twisted round, rubbing her cheek on Eliza’s head as she looked around the room. “Hmmrhkllshhrrhh,” she said as she did so.


“Htsnnhtuhefhlt – hmmhddthshhphn,” Bobby said as she looked at Hell.

“Yes I did – now don’t move an inch,” he said as he looked around the room, and then left the captives as he walked quickly up the stairs, starting to search the other rooms in the house, taking whatever he could find before he made some calls and checked the balance on his mobile phone.

Satisfied, he went to the kitchen and cut the credit and debit cards up with scissors, before he switched the oven on and then walked back to the front room. Nobody had moved, as he said “I’m going to prepare some snacks and drinks for the children. I may be Hell, but innocents should not suffer more than necessary.”

“Whrrhlhnnhshnt,” Anna said as she twisted round on the floor.

“Some are more innocent than others – stay seated,” he said as he left the room, the four mothers looking at each other.





“Thank you, Mister Hell,” Ernie said as he was helped to kneel round the low table, plates of food and cartons of drink set out there. Each of the children had had their hands released and the tape removed from their mouths, but Hell had taken more ropes and secured the legs of each one of them together below their legs, so that as they knelt, they still could not get up easily.

“Eat, drink,” he said before he went round the mothers, one by one removing their gags and releasing their wrists before he handed them each a mug of coffee.

“What are you going to do now,” Rhonda said as she took the mug.

“I need to ensure you cannot raise the alarm,” he said, and as Rhonda looked at Eliza, he said “I am not going to cover her mouth with tape again – but I am going to do something to keep her quiet. She can also sit with you.” He went and fetched a length of rope before he knelt down, Rhonda watching as he moved her skirt and secured her legs together below her knees as well, the rope going around and between her limbs.

“So, we are going to be tied up again – and the kids?”

“Yes,” was all he said as he knelt in front of Mandy and secured her legs together in the same way. Before he had served the food, he had helped Bobby to sit on the couch that Eric and Ernie had been sat on and then helped Anna to sit on another shorter couch. They both sipped from their mugs as he secured their legs were also secured together below their knees.

“Thank you for not hurting the kids,” Anna said as he stood up.

“I am Hell, because my life is Hell,” he said quietly, “but innocents, while I have to ensure they cannot stop me, are deserving of love and respect. When this is over, show them that love and respect as well – they deserve nothing less.”

“What happened to you to make you like this,” Bobby said as she looked over.

“Life is Hell, I am Hell – but this makes it easier to bear,” he said as he thought of Kerry. “Finish your drinks, then give the mugs to me. I need to make sure you are all ready – starting with our hostess.”

“All right, I’m ready,” Rhonda said quietly as he collected the mugs, and then leaned forward, putting her hands behind her back as Hell lashed her wrists tightly together, and then gasping as longer ropes were tied tightly round her arms and chest to make sure she really could not move. As she twisted round, the ropes stretching the top of her dress over her chest, she watched as he walked over and secured Mandy in the same way.

“You look funny, Mummy,” Mindy said as she looked over, sipping from her juice carton.

“I know – and you will as well,” she said with a smile as Hell walked over and pulled Bobby’s hands behind her back. She bit her lower lip,, looking at Amy as her wrists were secured tightly together, and then her arms were forced against her sides, before she was helped to lie on her side, her back against the back of the couch and her head resting on one of the arms.

“Are you all right, Mummy,” Amy said as Hell walked over and started to secure Anna.

“I’ll be fine,” Bobby said with a smile as Hell secured Anna’s arms and then helped her to lie along the couch as well. He then looked round the room, before he went to the bag and took out a roll of white tape. One by one, he peeled a length away from the roll and then pressed them down over the mouths of the mothers, all of them looking at each other as Hell said “now it’s your turn. Eliza, you will be first.”

He helped the young girl to stand up and then took her hands behind her back, Rhonda watching as he crossed and then bound her wrists tightly together. He then wrapped rope round her arms and body so that they were held against her sides, before he took a white scarf from the bag and rolled it into a tight band.

“This will keep you quiet, but you won’t have any problems,” he said, “so open your mouth as wide as you can, kid.” As Eliza opened her mouth, he pulled the band between her teeth and then tied the band round her head, before he lifted her up and placed her on Rhonda’s lap.

“Hlhfhfhuhmhm,” she said through the cloth as Rhonda kissed her on the head with the tape over her lips, and they watched Hell as he helped Mindy to stand up and secured her wrists and arms in the same way. After he pressed the length of tape over her mouth, he lifted her up and helped her to sit across Mandy’s lap, the young girl rubbing her head against her mother’s chest as he saw the smile under Mandy’s tape gag.

“Fhnnknkuh,” she mumbled as he knelt behind Eric and Ernie, making sure they both had their wrists secured behind their backs and their arms pressed against their sides before he tape gagged them, and helped them to sit in front of Rhonda and Mandy’s chairs.

He then helped Amy to stand up, securing her wrists and arms and tape gagging her before he laid her in front of Bobby, her head on her mother’s chest between the bands of rope that framed them. He did the same for Tabitha, the young girl smiling as she looked up at Anna when she was laid on the couch.

Looking out of the window, he picked up his bag and said, “nobody moves for one hour – someone I am sure will come to your rescue eventually.”

They all nodded as he left them, the television playing as they looked at each other…





“Mummy!”

As she looked over, she saw Kerry run into the room, and held her arms out, holding her daughter close to her as he stood in the doorway.

“Did you have a good day at school?”

“I did Mummy – is it true we are going to take a trip?”

As she looked over, he nodded and said “it is – a friend is going to drive you to the airport, and I want you to relax in the villa. I paid for it all today – I got your passports from the house when he wasn’t there.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Show him exactly why he should not have hurt either of you - better you don’t know the details, Mum, just take my word for it.

“When I am finished, he will never hurt you again…”
