Curiosity Kills the Cat!
Last time, I returned to Angela and Henry's home to finish the game we started the previous day. I surprised Angela by coming to her home earlier than she, and I, with Angela's Mom's permission, tied her to chair in the living room. I later hopped her to the chair in the kitchen, tied her to it, undid her gag, and fed her so that she wouldn't be left out on our snack. After the snack, however, I re-gagged her and hopped her to the same sofa I was tied to before. Henry, Betty and I then teased her, before tickling her for ten minutes with breaks. We then released her, and she gave me five dollars.
The Thursday after the last game was the third day in a row with not much grueling schoolwork. I was right. Most of the week's schoolwork was squeezed on Monday. So I was able to relax that Thursday. To make the day better, we were dismissed early because of another school function.
Normally, I would walk home with my brother Andrew, my cousin Donald and my friends David, Frank, Chester, Henry and Jay. But all but Frank seems to have more work to do than me that day, so they were not able to go home with me. So only Frank and Henry would walk home with me.
Henry then invited Frank and me to his home. Since his house is the nearest to school, we agreed to drop by before continuing on to our homes. I did not expect any tie-up games that afternoon, but if I learned anything about tie-up games, it is that what you don't expect is usually what happens.
When we arrived at Henry's home, there was no one home. Mrs. Dale has gone out and won't be back until six, and Angela hasn't arrived yet. So we had the house all to ourselves. We watched TV, played monopoly, chess and other board games, read Henry's comic books, went outside and played various rough activities. After that, we rested on the front porch.
It was about four that Angela with Betty arrived. Henry, Frank and I ignored them and we just sat on the front porch, telling stories. I in particular told of what happened with Angela and me, with Henry adding a detail or two. The next thing that happened completely surprised us.
I just completed my story, and there was an "I don't believe it" look on Frank's face. Then suddenly, Angela, with a piece of rope in her hands, and Betty approached us. Frank and I continued to ignore them, while Henry attention was diverted to her. She stood in front of us, and just to annoy them, we pretended not to notice them.
"Frank, are you going to stand up and put your hands behind you or do Betty and I have to force you to do it?!" Angela said.
We were speechless. It was, for Angela's part, very bold and unexpected. We just stared at her for a few seconds. Angela snapped us out of it. By this time, Henry was nowhere to be seen. He had completely disappeared.
"Well?" she asked.
We could have just laughed at her and ignore her threat and that would be the end of it. There was no way that Angela and Betty could overpower us. Or we could just turn the tables on them and give them a taste of their own medicine. But, our curiosity on what Angela and Betty was up to led us to go along with the girls had in mind. Besides, Frank has that "girls can't tie boys!" attitude.
Frank stood up, and put his hands behind him, crossing his wrists, palms out. I guess Frank have no idea on how good Angela was with knots, because he acted as if this was no big deal. Angela began wrapping the ropes around Frank's wrists. She wound it horizontally then vertically, cinching it and making sure Frank's fingers couldn't reach the knots. Frank just stood quietly, occasionally asking a question or two or making some comments.
Angela took a rope from Betty and began wrapping it around Frank's waist. I guess she learned a lot from the way I tied her up the last time. She tied the ends of the ropes at the wrists, again making sure that the knots are unreachable.
"I could easily get out of these!" Frank boasted.
"We'll see about that!" Betty replied.
"What are you sitting there for? Come on here and put your hands behind your back!" Angela said to me after finishing with Frank.
Again, even with Frank now immobilized, I could still have resisted. But my curiosity overcome any doubts or misgivings about this, so I stood up, and did as I was told. Angela took a torn piece of cloth from Betty and wrapped it around my wrists. The cloth is as effective as the rope, and when I tested it, it held.
"I told you I'd get you back!" Angela triumphantly said.
"Hey, what did I do?" Frank complained when he heard Angela.
"Consider yourself an innocent bystander!" Angela replied.
"Wait a mmmmmmppphhhh!" Angela took another piece of cloth and shoved it into Frank's mouth while he was talking. Angela then took a bandana and cleaved-gagged Frank to hold the cloth in his mouth. She then turned her attention back at me.
"Look, our deal was that Immmmppphhhh!" Angela interrupted me as I tried to explain our previous agreement when she shoved a sock into my mouth. She then duct taped my mouth to prevent my spitting it out.
So that was it. This little game of hers was revenge for the way I treated her yesterday. And since Frank happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, he too was tied up. As for Henry, he completely disappeared. Well, I know that there was no reason for her revenge, that the treatment she got was what she deserved for the treatment I got last Tuesday. I could not explain to her the details, however, for the simple reason that I was gagged at the time. If I knew this was the true reason, I wouldn't have let her tie me up. It would be unfair for my part. But since I initially didn't know the true nature of this game, and my curiosity at what she planned for us overcoming any doubts, I let her tie me up. As for Frank, it was curiosity and the attitude "girls can't tie up boys!" that let her tie him up. Well, now that we were bound and gagged, there was nothing we could do about it. As they say, "curiosity killed the cat!" Still, I wanted to know what plans she had for us.
Angela took from Betty another piece of rope, and tied it to my waist and wrists similar to the way Frank was tied up. Betty and Angela then marched Frank and me toward the house and we went in. We came in through the front door, walked through the living room and down the basement.
"Watch Tom!" Angela said to Betty, and with that, led Frank to the pole in the middle of the basement. There, Angela tied Frank to the pole by securing his ankles, shin, knees, thighs, waist, upper body and shoulders using rope to the post. By the time she was over, Frank couldn't move an inch away from the pole. All he could do is flex his fingers, shake his head, and mmppphhhh a lot.
"Now it's your turn!" Angela told me. She led me to a foldout bed and made me lie on it on my stomach. She then removed my shoes and socks, crossed my ankles, took a long piece of torn cloth, and tied my ankles. She then took another piece of rope, tied one end of it to my wrists, again making sure that the knots are out of reach of my fingers, and tied the other end to my ankles, hog-tying me.
"Now, don't go anywhere!" she said. Angela and Betty then left the basement, leaving Frank and I bound and gagged.
As soon as they disappeared, I immediately began to struggle. The ropes were tight and snug, however, and I could find no slack. I tried looking for the knots, but I could not find any. I considered moving, but dropped the idea when I realized what a hard crash it would be if I fell to the floor hog-tied, and it would do no good to Frank and me.
I looked at Frank, and he still struggling. He apparently was trying his best to prove that girls can't tie boys, but by all counts, he miserably failed. After twenty minutes of struggling, he gave up, defeated.
We now settled into waiting for Angela and Betty to free us. We don't know how long they plan to keep us tied-up, so that added to the suspense and mystery surrounding what Betty and Angela planned for us. We waited for time to pass.
Soon, the door of the basement opened, and Henry sneaked in. I had expected it to be Angela or Betty, so it was a pleasant surprise that it was Henry.
"Guys, I'm going to help you, but don't tell Angela. Tell them you got out on your own, okay?" Henry requested as soon as he got to me.
I nodded, and Henry undid the knots on the ropes hog-tying me. Soon, I was no longer in a hog-tie. Henry then untied my wrist.
"Okay, you can do the rest. I've got to go before I get caught. See ya." With that, Henry disappeared as quickly as he appeared.
I untied my ankles then removed my gag. I then proceeded to untie Frank. It took me only ten minutes to free him. Soon, we were completely free. We then plotted our counterattack.
Basically, our plan was simple. We would wait for them to return and attack. We would tie Angela up and tickle torture her, while we would just hold Betty, tickle her too, but would not tie her up.
We waited for the two to return. The wait was long. We spent the time preparing the materials we would need and doing more plotting. We then hid beside the door to surprise them.
After an hour, Betty and Angela returned to the basement. We then made our move. As soon as they stepped in, we grabbed them.
"Hey, what the heck mmmppphhh!" I hand-gagged my sister, cutting her off in mid-sentence, holding her tight.
"How did you mmmmppphhh?" Angela said. Frank clamped his hand over her mouth, and used his other arm to hold her tight.
Clearly, we achieved complete surprise. They were not expecting us to be able to free ourselves. They were so shocked in the first few minutes that they were not able to muster much resistance. And even if they were able to, it would not do them any good, since we were much more physically stronger than the two girls.
We dragged them down the basement stairs, both of them kicking and screaming. It did them no good. Once we reached the basement floor, they calmed down, Evidently, both of them realized the futility of such behavior. From their eyes, it was clear that the shock and anger in them had turned into (mock) fear. Perhaps, if they put on their best behavior, they might be spared to what Frank and I intended for them. However, there was nothing that could save them now from the revenge Frank and I intend for the girls.
"We could do this the easy way, or we could do this the hard way. Are you going to cooperate?" Frank asked the girls.
Both of them nodded.
"We are going to release you now. Now be good, or expect much worst!" I then said.
We released both of them from our grip.
"How did you escape?" Angela asked as soon as she was released from Frank's hand-gag.
"Well, someone out there forgot to do their knotty homework! Now turn around and put your hands behind your back!" I ordered.
She did as I told her. I then duct-taped her crossed wrists behind her.
"How could that be? Those knots are mmmmmmpphhhh!" Angela replied. Apparently, she was interrupted by my shoving a clean-wadded handkerchief on her mouth. I then took a bandana and tightly cleaved-gagged her with it. I know you can remove such a gag if you know what you're doing, but I want to know if she knew how to do it. So I used a cleave gag to prevent her from spitting out the handkerchief.
I then ordered her to lie on her stomach on the foldout bed - the same foldout bed I was hog-tied in. She did. I removed her shoes and socks. I then crossed her ankles and duct-taped it together. I then took a rope, tied one end of it to her ankles, the other to her wrists, hog-tying her.
"Your turn!" I said to my sister, and Frank grabbed her.
"You can't tie me. I'm not yet nine, and I'll tell Dad if you do. And then you'll be in big trouble!" Betty shouted.
"Who said anything about tying you up!" I replied. With that, Frank clamped his hand over my sister's mouth and she just mmmmppphhhhh.
I took off her shoes and socks. I then tickled her in the feet. She just went crazy. Betty is just as ticklish as his older brothers are (and still is). She squirmed, tried to resist the tickling, mmmppphhhhing a lot, but Frank was able to hold her. I then proceeded to her stomach, ribs and sides. I continued the torture for ten minutes, giving of course the usual 2-3 minute breaks. She was laughing and laughing and laughing and screaming and screaming and shouting. It came out as mmmpppphhhhhsss over Frank's hand-gag. She was also very squirmy, trying to dodge my fingers. At the end of the tickle session, she was breathing heavily, trying to recover her breathe, begging for us to stop the tickling when Frank released his hand clamped over her mouth
"Stop, ha, ha, ha, please, stop!" Betty begged.
"Will you do everything we tell you?" I asked her.
"Ha, ha, ha, yes, ha, ha just no more ticking, yes!" she responded.
"Promise?"
"Ha, ha, I promise!"
With that, I told Frank to release her from his grip. Betty was apparently exhausted from all that tickling.
"Watch her!" I told Frank.
I then approached Angela, who has witnessed Betty's tickle torture. I could see from her eyes that she was nervous about the impending tickle torture.
"Now, which spot is the most ticklish? Is it the feet, the tummy, or the sides? Let's see!" I then began to tickle Angela. She went absolutely berserk. I tickled her for one minute, then stopped.
"Don't worry, you'll get as much as my sister when we return!" I said.
Frank, Betty and I then left the basement. We kept a close eye on Betty, for we do not want her to free her best friend.
"How long do you plan to keep her tied-up?" Betty asked.
"An hour." I replied. With that, we went to the living room where we watched TV to pass the time. About that time, Henry entered the house through the front door.
"What happened?" Henry asked, pretending not to know what really happened.
"Well, Angela tricked us into letting her tie us up. She then marched us to the basement where I was tied up to the post and Tom hog-tied." Frank said.
"Fortunately, Angela didn't do a good tie-up job on Tom, so he was able to free himself! He then freed me, and we ambushed Angela and Betty and we tied Angela. Then we went to the living room to watch TV." Frank finished.
The story was for Betty's ears, for Frank, Henry and I knew what really happened. Henry just doesn't want his sister to know his role in the game, and we didn't trust Betty to keep her mouth shut.
We then watched TV. There are many instances during the hour in which Betty attempted to sneak away from us when we were not looking and try to free Angela. We caught her each time and gave her tickle torture as punishment.
Angela's mother arrived about ten minutes after six. We greeted her and she greeted us.
"By the way, have you seen your sister?" Mrs. Dale asked Henry.
"She's all tied up right now, in the basement." Henry replied.
Mrs. Dale then went to the kitchen, where Frank, Betty, Henry and I helped Mrs. Dale. After that, she went to the basement, and when she returned, commented on the way her daughter was tied-up. We gave her assurances that she would eventually be untied.
It is about six-thirty that I decided to return to the basement. Of course, Frank, Betty and Henry followed. When we returned, Angela was pretty much the same as when we left her. She was still hog-tied, and sweating. Her gag was still in place, indicating that either she did not know how to remove such a gag, or she enjoyed having the gag on her mouth!
"Tickle time!" I announced.
When she heard the word tickle, she suddenly began to squirm and mmmmpppphhhh, trying in vain to get out of the ropes and avoid a fate worst death.
It did her no good. I started to tickle her feet, while Frank tickled her stomach and sides. Henry and Betty just watched.
Angela went absolutely crazy. She tried to avoid our fingers, but could not. She just squirmed, struggled, laughed, screamed under her gag, which came out as mmmppphhhs. We continued our tickling for ten minutes, giving her breaks to help her recover. When we stopped, Angela was on the verge of tears, breathing heavily and exhausted from being tied-up for an hour and being tickled.
Frank and I then released her, and she promised revenge.
"I'll get you back for this!" she threatened.
"You started this!" Frank replied.
It was six-forty five. Betty and I decided it was time to go home. We wouldn't want to miss the curfew, would we? Frank also decided its time to go home.
Angela told us that she had a great time, "But don't expect me not to get you!" She said.
We arrived at our house before seven. I spent the rest of the night doing Betty and John's homework. After doing all the homework, I told my brother what happened. He just burst out laughing.
"I couldn't believe you're so gullible. Being tricked once is one thing, being tricked twice in the same week it too much!" Andrew said while laughing.
"But I was curious. I want to know what she's up to! So I went along." I replied.
"Don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?" Andrew replied.
That was the end of my games with Angela for the week. It wasn't, however, the end of the tie-up games for that week. I still played a game the Friday after this last game. What kind of games did I play? Read the next part and find out!
