The Girls' Playtime (F/Ff)

[KP Presents]

Yeah, I was surprised when I went into the kitchen and saw the women standing there, with the stocking pulled down over her head and holding her blonde hair against her head. She was wearing a brown leather jacket over a roll neck sweater, and leggings tucked into over the knee brown suede boots but she also had brown leather gloves over her hands, a rucksack on her back – and a very, very real gun pointed at me as she said “hello – you must be Ethel.”

“Well, I am Ethel – and I had gone in to put on the oven for some food for my girls and their friends, who were coming over for an afternoon play date. I have three daughters – Annie is twelve, while Kelly and Nelly are ten-year-old twins. We were expecting the Nolan girls, who are classmates of my daughters, to come round – Violet is in Annie’s class, and Rose is a year younger, while Daisy is six years old, but gets on well with the twins.

So yeah, there I was, wearing a black blouse, old jeans and black shoes with black socks, staring at the intruder, and trying to ask the most obvious question. Which I eventually managed to, as I said, “whoever you are, get out of my house, before I call the police.”

“Actually,” she said as she smiled under the stocking mask, “I don’t think you are going to do that. After all, you don’t want to upset or alarm the girls, do you?”

I stared at her and ran my hand through my brown hair, before I said, “but you are armed – and you are going to rob me, right?”

“Correct,” the girl said, “but we don’t want to upset the kids, or make this a terrifying thing for them – I see you are expecting guests. What were you going to do?”

“Well, the younger girls were going to play some games on the Switch and have some snacks, while the older girls were going to go to Annie’s room and watch some films.”

“Well, I think they can still do that – but they may be – restrained in what they can do. The key thing is, you have to convince them this is a special game you arranged for their enjoyment, and that they are not going to be hurt. Do that, and it can be – surprisingly relaxing for everyone. But if you don’t, then I have to make sure this is a robbery, and they will not be able to move or do anything – so the choice is yours.”

I looked at her, and then slowly nodded as I said “all right – we can play along. What are you going to do?”

“Well,” the woman said as she slipped her rucksack off, and opened it to take out a length of rope, “we start by showing them they have nothing to be afraid of, so put your hands behind your back. Once io have your wrists secured, then you can tell me what needs to be done now before we go and see your daughters.”

So I allowed her to secure my wrists together behind my back before I sat on a chair by the kitchen table, and told her what to put on trays in terms of snacks, then in bowls, and then she poured glasses of squash before she said “so we go and get your daughters playing first, and then when their friends arrive they can join in as well. Shall we?”

I stood up and walked in front of her to the front room, where my daughters were sitting watching the television. Annie was wearing a black cardigan over a white top and faded jeans with legs tucked into a pair of high black fabric boots. As for the twins, Kelly was wearing a black t-shirt and faded blue jeans tucked into a pair of mid-calf grey Ugg boots with a white motif on the side, while Nelly was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans, the legs of hers tucked into a pair of mid-calf Ugg boots with a grey leopard print design.

They looked at me as I said “Well, girls., I have a surprise for you – when your friends get here, all of you are going to have fun in a slightly different way.”

“Why are your hands behind your back Mum,” Annie asked quietly.

“Well,” I said, “this lady is pretending to be an intruder who is holding me – and you and your friends - hostage. You’re still going to be able to do what you had planned and have snacks and drinks – but you’ll all have your wrists and legs tied so that you cannot stop her from doing what she has come to do.”

“So, we’ll be what – hostages?”

“Yes – but in a nice way. So listen to what the lady says now.”

“Hello girls,” she said as I sat down and watched, “can you all put your hands together for me, as if you are praying?” All three of them did so, and she then took more lengths of cord from her rucksack and tied their wrists together.

“Now – your mum says that you two girls are going to be staying in this room, and you are going to your room with your friends. Is that right?”

“Yes,” Annie said as she twisted her wrists round.

“Good,” the masked woman said as she produced more ropes, and tied them round Nelly and Kelly’s ankles to hold them tightly together and then secured their legs together below their knees. They looked at each other as we heard the doorbell ring, and the woman helped me to stand up and walk to the door, opening it as I looked round.

“Hey – come on in girls,” I said, “I need to go and check something in the kitchen – I’ll call you when they are ready to come home.”

I smiled at the girls as they came in – Violet was wearing a white top with a purple scarf round her neck, a white lace skirt and black stockings, and a pair of mid-calf tan quilted boots with white fur trim on the top. Rose was wearing a white jumper with a long pink scarf, and jeans with the legs tucked into her own pair of boots in the same style as her older sister, and Daisy was wearing a light pink top, dark jeans and tan leather short boots.

As I closed the door, they looked at the woman as I said “don’t be frightened girls – we are going to have a very special play date today, and part of it is we are pretending this lady is robbing us. Come and see the others.”

As we walked into the front room, Daisy said “oh wow – does that hurt Nelly?”

“No, it doesn’t” Nelly said as she wriggled her hands and legs, “come and sit with me and Kelly, and the lady will do the same to you. Annie – why don’t you stand up and sit on the couch with Rose and Violet while the lady gets the three of you ready to go to your room?”

“Come and sit with me, and look at my wrists,” Annie said as she stood up and walked to the couch across the room, Violet and Rose sitting either side of her as I watched her bind the wrists, ankles and legs of Daisy in the same way as Nelly and Kelly. She then walked over and bound the other girl’s wrists together in front of themselves, before she said “now don’t move” and left the room, coming back with the snacks and drinks for the younger girls before she switched on the television, and the games console, then gave each of them a controller.

“Now – do you think you can play the game while like this,” she said, all three of them nodding as she smiled and said “Well, the drinks and snacks are within your reach between the three of you. Enjoy your game, while I make sure the elder girls can enjoy their film upstairs. Your mum is going to come with me as well, all right?”

“Enjoy yourselves girls” I said as I walked out with the older girls and her and then climbed the staircase before we went into Annie’s room. The television was mounted on the wall opposite herbed, so the three girls sat next to each other before the woman took more ropes from her rucksack and bound their ankles and legs. I could see the black felt lightening round Annie’s ankles, and the squeak as the boots of the other two girls were rubbing together, as well as how the ripe looked around their legs below their knees.

The women also ran ropes from their ankles to the foot of the bed, before Annie turned the television on and she left the room, coming back a few minutes later with their snacks and drinks and placing them between the three girls on the bed.

“Now, enjoy your time here – but I will be back later to make the game more exciting,” she said as she guided me out of the room, an di heard them laughing. “They actually believe this is a game,” I said as I looked at her.

“Indeed – now, we go round the house, and you show me where the valuables are,” she said with a smile.

“And after that?”

“I make you comfortable – and then the girls get to enjoy some quite time as well…”



When we went back into Annie’s room, I said “are you enjoying the film so far?”

“Yes Mum,” Annie said with a smile.

“And have you had enough snacks and drinks for the moment?”

“Why masked Lady,” Violet said as she looked at me.

“Well, the thing is, I need to do something now because as a bad lady, I cannot have anyone calling for help or getting free - but you can still watch your films, all right? So, let me start with you, young Rose.” Violet and Annie watched as she unwound the scarf from round the young girl’s neck and then cleave gagged the young girl with her own scarf, her lips closing over it. The woman then tied her wrists to the rope around her legs below her knees, before she went round and gagged Violet with her scarf as well.

She then showed Annie one of my black scarves and gagged her in the same way before securing her wrists. “Your mother will be downstairs with the girls, enjoy the next film,” she said, the girls nodding as I walked out with her and went back to the front room.

“Can we watch a film now Mummy,” Kelly said as they looked up.

“Of course – and I’ll watch it with you, but first the masked lady needs to make sure you stay still and quiet,” I said as she bent the legs of each of them, then tied their wrists to their legs before she produced a roll of white tape, tore lengths off and pressed them down over their mouths. She then started a film for them to watch, while she sat me on the couch and bound my own ankles together, then my legs below my knees before the tape was pressed down firmly over my mouth, and I was helped to lie on my side with my head on the armrest.

I Watched her as she cleared the drinks and snacks away, and then said, “enjoy the film – when it is finished, see who can get free first,” and left the room as I lay still, hoping they would be all right like this…
