serial home invaders (MM/F) Part One

The clock on the microwave blinked 8:13 p.m., its green glow cutting through the dim kitchen of the Harper house. Outside, a late February wind rattled the windows, tugging at the edges of the curtains like restless fingers. Inside, fifteen-year-old Casey Harper sprawled across the living room couch, her bare feet propped on the armrest, a bowl of popcorn balanced on her stomach. Her phone buzzed beside her—another text from her best friend, Mia, about some dumb TikTok trend. Casey smirked, thumbs tapping out a reply. Mom and Dad were at a work thing, some fancy dinner with clients, and they’d left her with a twenty for pizza and strict orders to lock the doors. She’d done that—mostly. The back door was probably still unlatched, but who cared? This was suburbia, not some crime-riddled city.

The first sign of trouble wasn’t loud. It was a faint click—metal on metal, like a key fumbling in a lock. Casey’s head tilted, popcorn paused halfway to her mouth. The sound came again, sharper, from the kitchen. She muted the TV—some reality show about baking disasters—and sat up, straining to listen. Wind? No—a low scrape followed, deliberate, like boots easing over tile. Her stomach flipped. She wasn’t alone.

Before she could bolt, the kitchen door swung open, and two figures spilled into the living room. They moved fast, shadows in black hoodies and gloves, faces obscured by cheap ski masks. One was tall, broad-shouldered, gripping a flashlight that sliced through the gloom. The other was shorter, wiry, a duffel bag slung over his shoulder. Casey’s scream caught in her throat as she scrambled off the couch, popcorn scattering like confetti. She lunged for the stairs—her bedroom, the phone, something—but the tall one was faster. He grabbed her arm, yanking her back with a grunt.

“Got her,” he rasped, voice rough as gravel. His grip was iron, bruising her skin through her hoodie. She thrashed, kicking at his shin, but he barely flinched, dragging her toward the center of the room.

“Quit squirming, kid!” the wiry one snapped, dropping the duffel with a heavy thud. He rummaged inside, pulling out a coil of white nylon rope, its ends frayed like it’d seen plenty of use. Casey’s eyes widened, her breath hitching as the tall one shoved her down onto the carpet. She hit hard, knees jarring, palms scraping the fibers.

“Hands behind you,” he ordered, kneeling beside her. She twisted, defiance flaring, but he grabbed her wrists, forcing them back with a strength she couldn’t match. The wiry one tossed the rope over, and the tall guy caught it one-handed, looping it around her wrists in swift, practiced motions. The cord bit into her skin, cool and unyielding, as he cinched it tight. Casey winced, flexing her fingers—already tingling—as he tied a double knot, tugging to test it. No give. Her hands were locked, crossed awkwardly behind her spine.

“Ankles next,” the wiry one said, fishing out a roll of silver duct tape from the bag. He tore off a strip with a sharp riiiip, the sound slicing the air. Casey kicked out, catching his thigh, but he swore and grabbed her legs, pinning them together. The tall one held her shoulders down, his weight pressing her chest into the carpet. She squirmed, a whimper escaping, but the wiry guy was relentless. He wrapped the tape around her ankles, three loops, each one tighter than the last, until her sneakers pressed together, immobile. She flexed her feet—nothing. The adhesive gripped like a vice.

“Gag her,” the tall one said, standing to scan the room. “She’s too loud.”

Casey’s heart pounded, her voice breaking free. “Please—don’t—I won’t—” The wiry one cut her off, snatching a black bandana from the duffel. It smelled faintly of motor oil as he balled it up, forcing it between her teeth. She gagged, the fabric dry and coarse against her tongue, muffling her pleas into a choked hum. He tied it off behind her head, knotting it over her blonde ponytail, strands catching painfully in the twist. Her jaw ached already, the gag forcing her mouth open, but she could still breathe—shallow, panicked gasps through her nose.

They stepped back, assessing her. Casey lay on her side, wrists bound tight behind her, ankles taped, the bandana stretching her lips into a grimace. The living room felt wrong now—the couch cushions askew, the TV flickering silently, popcorn crunching under their boots. The tall one crouched, his mask’s eyeholes revealing pale, cold eyes. “Stay put, princess. We’re just here for the goods. Don’t make this harder.”

She glared, tears prickling, but her body betrayed her—trembling, helpless. The wiry one was already moving, heading for the stairs with the duffel. “Check the parents’ room,” he called. “Safe’s gotta be up there.” The tall one followed, leaving Casey alone on the floor, the rope chafing her wrists raw as she twisted against it. No slack, no mercy. The knots were expert—tight, unyielding, like they’d done this a dozen times before.

Upstairs, drawers slammed open, wood splintering. Casey rolled onto her stomach, inching toward the couch, her bound hands clawing at the carpet. If she could reach her phone—dropped in the chaos—she could text Mia, 911, someone. Her fingers brushed the edge of the couch, straining, but the rope held her arms too close, the tape locking her legs in place. A muffled sob escaped the gag, soaking the bandana. She wasn’t getting free—not like this.

The tall one’s boots thudded back down the stairs, a jewelry box tucked under his arm. He paused, spotting her shift. “Told you to stay put,” he growled, grabbing her by the hoodie and hauling her upright. She flailed, but he dragged her to the radiator along the wall, its metal ribs cold against her back. He pulled another length of rope from his pocket—shorter, thinner—and lashed her bound wrists to the pipe, threading it through the knots already there. A quick tug, a final knot, and she was tethered, forced to sit with her knees bent, her shoulders aching from the angle.

Not bad, I like it. Next time the girl could have a younger sister who is like 12 or 13. and one of them could get hogtied

Just some ideas, you don’t have to do that, I‘m sure you‘ll do great on your own too

[tiedgirlie]

you can continue on next part if you would like to, we can do collaborative story with others. As for writing it, i used the help of grok AI to make it more interesting

[The G-Man]

Nice start. I could see this going any number of ways. I could get behind the idea of having a younger sister blundering in and getting a real surprise
