Then the two of them looked at each other and burst into hysterical laughter. "Ohmigod," Ann cried. "I was sure I was going to lose it a few times." "You! I was the one coming up with that song and dance number on the spur of the moment." "Oh, Susan, you were wonderful! And the bit with you opening your arms and looking up, oh that was great. I half-expected a shaft of light from heaven to shine on you." "Well, not all of that was made up, you know," Susan said more seriously. "I mean, I /was/ raised pagan after all." "Yeah, but you don't believe half that stuff, do you, really?" Susan shrugged and smiled. "But it sure comes in handy for times like this." The two of them went off in peals of renewed laughter. "Okay, okay," Ann said, grinning hugely. "Now you have to agree with me: Melissa must go down as the most gullible little cunt in all of history." "Jeez, she fell for the whole thing, didn't she?" "That bit you arranged with Jim was sweet. You really had her convinced you actually did lay a hex on him. Oh, man, I'm glad his girlfriend was such a peach about it. She even pretended to be angry with Jim as if he'd really had sex with you." Susan gave Ann a smug little smile. Ann's eyes widened and her mouth fell open. "You /didn't!/" "Let's just say that Melissa is not the only gullible one. And believe me, I did not have to use a spell on Jim to get him to get into bed with me." "Does Linda know?" "No, she doesn't. Let's keep it that way." "Oh, you bet. And Melissa will believe us, so there's no worry there." Susan sighed. "Yeah, but we almost lost it when you pulled that little stunt of yours with her panties. What the hell was that all about?" Ann shrugged. "Spur of the moment. Can you believe that that little slut was actually getting off on it? I had intended that feather to tickle her senseless, and it just made her horny. Thanks for covering for me, by the way." "You're lucky I can think fast." "So what's next, then?" "Oh, we fetch her in the morning," Susan said. "Like we said. We have to, else if we get up there too late, someone else will find her and we'll be in deep shit." Ann smirked. "Yeah, I figured that out. But what about after that?" "We accept her as a member of the Circle. Then we figure out some excuse later to kick her out. Maybe she'll displease the goddess somehow." Ann grinned, but it faded after a few moments. "Say, Susan, why'd you leave her the pendant? I think maybe one of the reasons I did the thing with the panties was because I was mad at you for that." Susan paused a moment. "I'm not sure, actually. I don't know, maybe ... maybe I just wanted to be a little nice." Ann made a face. "Why? It's not like she really matters." "I guess I just thought that taking the pendant might be taking it too far. Plus she thinks it really protects her, so maybe it will." Ann frowned. "You don't think she's, like, in danger up there?" "Probably not. No one goes up there at this hour." She smirked at Ann. "Unless you really believe in that sex strangler character." "I'm telling you, he was real. I mean, he's not there now, but he was in the past." "I think it was as real as the bloody hook story, if you ask me." Ann folded her arms and pouted. "And who says that one is not real, too?" Susan sighed, rolled her eyes, and promptly dropped the subject. It was not very long before Melissa stopped crying. She finally realized that no amount of histrionics was going to change the situation she was in, and she was sliding into a depression that was far beyond the ability of mere tears to express. It slowly dawned on her that she had been a complete and utter fool. This could not possibly be any initiation. It was simply an excuse to humiliate her. She was surprised that someone else had not already shown up to take advantage of her sexually, or worse, take pictures of her to show the rest of the school or her parents. She considered public humiliation to be worse than rape. For all of her crying and all of her despair had failed to douse the flames of desire that still burned inside her, ignited by a combination of her initial excitement and the touch of that damnable feather Ann had used on her. Melissa had no idea she would respond so strongly to that kind of a touch. Melissa was willing to accept the possibility of sexual release in exchange for her virtue if it meant that her experience would be kept quiet. The night air had grown even colder, and she was shivering constantly now. If it were not for the tape over her mouth, her teeth would be chattering. Even in the darkness she could see her breath as it briefly fogged her view of the stars overhead with each exhalation. Melissa wished she knew why she was still aroused, why her pussy still felt hot and engorged, why her nipples tingled with each breeze that blew across them. First her so-called friends had betrayed her and now her own body did as well. Melissa tried to stretch her neck and turn her head to see the stakes that held her arms in place, but her hair blocked her vision. She clenched one of her hands into a fist and pulled at the rope, then stopped. She repeated this several times, hoping to work the stake loose. After several minutes, there was still no slack on the rope. She sighed and attempted the same with one leg, again to no avail. Melissa wished Ann had placed the pendant back on her chest. She hated not being able to feel it against her flesh. Occasionally she shifted her head and shoulders just so she could still feel the chain around her neck and convince herself that it was really still there. Melissa now realized that the forest was anything but silent at night. The trees rustled in the slightest breeze. Insects buzzed and clicked in the thick grasses. Occasionally some nocturnal critter scampered through the underbrush. The first time this had happened, Melissa's heart raced, as she was sure that someone was about to walk into the clearing. Melissa quickly grew inured to it, no longer reacting to the brief crackle of twigs and rustle of underbrush. Thus she was not alerted when she heard a similar sound somewhere behind her head, a single soft crunching sound of something pressing down onto the sand and brush that littered the floor of the forest beyond the clearing. Yet in the moment that passed after this sound, Melissa became aware that something was quite wrong. The other sounds of the forest, save for the wind, had ominously fallen silent. Then the breeze itself died, leaving her in a silence so complete that she could hear her own heartbeat. Melissa became aware of a presence. The feeling that she was not alone crept over her and made her skin crawl. She shuddered and whimpered, wishing she could at least call out and ask if someone were there. Worse, she was sure that whoever it was now watched her intently, taking in every detail of her naked form. Finally Melissa heard the sound of someone taking a step onto the hard, dry ground of the clearing. Then another. They grew closer with each passing second. Melissa was terrified beyond any ability to think rationally. She pulled desperately at her bonds, ignoring the pains that shot through her tendons. She knew only that she had to get away, before whoever it was could harm her. But when the steps had approached close enough for her to see her would-be assailant, she stopped struggling and looked up with widening eyes in mixed fear and fascination. Looming over her, standing not two feet from her torso, was a dark figure. It was clad in ragged gray cloak and hood. But these were the only identifiable features on the figure, for under the cloak and hood was nothing but utter darkness. It was not simply the darkness of the night, but a blackness so inky that it was like a hole torn in reality. It was as if the figure were there, but also not there. The figure leaned forward. A tendril of the darkness in the shape of a human arm emerged. The hand splayed its fingers and hovered over Melissa. She saw it silhouetted against the stars above her. Despite the fact that the hand was several feet in the air above her, she shrank back from it in terror, as if trying to sink herself into the earth to get away from it. The hand was withdrawn. There was the sound of shifting dirt and sand as the figure's leg-shaped appendages lowered it to its knees. Melissa heard something like a deep, guttural groan from the featureless face of the figure and shuddered. Its head appeared to turn, as if shifting its gaze over to her feet and drawing it very slowly up her body and back to her face. Melissa thought she could actually feel the specter's gaze on her, like ice just barely touching her skin. The figure's hand reappeared. It reached for her face. Melissa lost what remained of her rationality and screamed against her gag and through her nose. Yet instead of snuffing out her life as she had expected, the fingers of the hand grasped an edge of the tape sealing her lips and slowly peeled it off. Melissa stopped screaming and dared to open her eyes. The hand still appeared in form only, with no discernible details, as featureless as a bottomless pit. Yet where the tips of its fingers touched her skin, it felt like the smoothest satin, not at all unpleasant. The hand finished peeling the tape from her face and let it drop to the dirt alongside her neck. It then hovered over her mouth, as if expectant. It took Melissa a moment for her to pull her mind back from her terror and panic and realize why he was waiting. She opened her mouth. The figure's fingers reached inside and pulled out the wadded panties, dropping them to the side as well. "Th-thank you," Melissa said in a slightly slurred voice, her jaw muscles having trouble responding from being stretched and the cold. "Wh-ho are you?" But the figure did not respond to her. She heard only another guttural groan, this one more urgent in tone. "P-please, you're frightening me," Melissa pleaded. The figure's hand was still hovering before her face. The fingers clenched briefly, then unfolded again. It moved slowly over her torso and lowered itself over one of her breasts. "N-no, please ..." Melissa begged. "D-don't hurt me ..." But when the figure's hand cupped itself over her breast, Melissa felt anything but hurt. The hand was silky-smooth against the skin of her breast. It slid over her flesh as if oiled, the fingers reaching around and squeezing the firm flesh, sending a shiver through Melissa that was not at all related to the cold. The fingers probed her breast everywhere, finally finding her nipple and caressing it until it grew even more erect than it had been before. It then touched the very tip of the nipple, her most sensitive spot, and teased it with its fingertips. Melissa moaned as these ministrations excited her almost as powerfully as she had been frightened by the initial appearance of the figure. Her body now begged for sexual release more than ever, her want so great that her pussy ached with unrelieved arousal. Even if she had not already been horny before his arrival, she was sure he could have easily driven her to this state. The figure's hand moved to her other breast and began fondling it in the same manner. A second arm emerged from under the cloak, its hand resting on the first breast, so that it now stimulated both of them at once. "Oh my God ... " Melissa cried softly. "P-Please ... please don't stop." The figure turned its head abruptly towards her face, and now she could see two tiny, burning red points of light under the hood. She gasped and bit her lip to suppress a scream, and for a moment she could not feel the sensuous massage of her breasts. And then Melissa heard something. It was like a ragged, hoarse whisper. Yet it did not come through the wind so much as it /was/ the wind, shaped into sound for her to hear. /You wish me to continue?/ the voice said. /You wish me to give you pleasure?/ Melissa swallowed and hesitated. Was she getting herself into something else again that she could not get herself out of? Yet now the figure had stopped fondling her breasts, leaving her desperate for his touch again. Finally she nodded. /You ... are willing?/ "I ... I am willing. I-I need it." The figure paused, partially withdrawing its hands. Despite the lack of facial expression, Melissa thought she sensed hesitation and some confusion from it, as if this were a new situation for it. /Are you for me?/ she heard it ask of her. Melissa was not sure how to answer that question. She had no idea who - or what - this figure was. For all she knew, it could be part of the elaborate ruse that Susan and Ann had set up. Though that would not explain the eerie look, or its unearthly voice. "I'm not sure," Melissa finally responded, deciding that honesty was the only option. "I don't know how to answer that." Another groan emanated from the figure. Finally it said, /I will pleasure you. Then I will decide./ Melissa wondered exactly what it was to decide, but before she could think to ask it, she felt one of its satin-like hands slide down her abdomen. It moved like molasses, oozing with glacial speed. When it reached her pubic mound, it sifted her hair through its fingers, sending shock waves of pleasure through her body and making fresh moisture drip from her already sopping slit. The hand stopped moving and Melissa cried out in desperation. "Please, t-touch me ... Touch my p-pussy." It was the first time that Melissa had ever managed to bring herself to say the word aloud, even in private. It betrayed the depths of her desire, as well as her realization that modesty was no longer something she could hope to preserve any longer. She felt the figure's fingers descend into the cleft of her sex, her swollen clit stroked firmly and rhythmically. Melissa moaned deeply and panted as the strokes were increased in intensity and speed. She felt its fingers plunge into her cunt, penetrating her deeply, two fingers at first, then three, coaxing her open wider. With her legs spread as far as they were, there was little to stop him from finger-fucking her into a frenzy. Melissa rose like a rocket. "Oh, God, yes ... Please, don't stop ... don't ... ohhh ... /ohhhhhh!/" Melissa cried out loudly as she crested over into orgasm. Her pussy throbbed hard around the figure's fingers, feeling as solid inside her as any normal man's would. He kept rubbing her clit, driving her orgasm upwards, until she was climaxing more powerfully than she ever had before. Her genital muscles were spasming so hard that she saw stars in front of her closed eyes. She was ready to scream for the figure to ease off when it did just that, slowing its strokes and then removing its hand. Melissa's head lolled to one side. "Th-thank you," she said weakly. The figure groaned, more urgent than ever. /Now there is my pleasure to see to,/ she heard it say. Melissa did not see the hand until it was before her face again, and before she could ask what it was doing, the hand gently alighted on her neck. She felt her fear return as her mind filled with horrible visions of her throat being cut. Yet after a few seconds and a brief tingling around her throat, the hand was withdrawn. What Melissa could not see was what the figure had left behind. Encircling her neck was a band, as impossibly black as the figure itself. The next thing she knew, the darkness was atop her. She felt its body slide atop hers, like a silk sheet being drawn over her skin, its touch light and sensuous. Despite having just cum, her pussy was still wet, and she felt desire renewed inside of her. She heard its guttural groan again, a rumble hinting at powerful, barely restrained passion and lust. As its body slid further over her, she was aware of something gently probing her labia, still slick with her juices. Melissa's eyes opened wide. "Oh my God ..." she breathed. Terror mixed with her desire, and for a moment, terror won out. "N-no! Please, no! Please don't ..." In mid sentence, she opened her mouth and cried out in surprise and ecstasy as she felt the figure penetrate her, its cock sliding inside her like a hot knife through butter, sliding into her as if into warm oil. She gasped as she felt his incredible length fill her completely, more than any sex toy dildo she had used on herself in her self-explorations. She did not think it was possible for anyone to have a penis that long, and it convinced her that there was nothing at all earthly about this figure. /So you are not for me after all,/ she heard the figure communicate to her, in a tone that was both mocking but questioning as well. Melissa was too confused to reply at first. She felt the figure slowly slide its cock outward again, the angle just right to stroke the tip of her clit. She drew in her breath sharply and held it, letting it go as a moan when he reversed and sank into her again. Desire began to win out over terror again. He drew outward and forward again, starting a slow but steady and firm thrusting. Each stroke of her clit was like electricity crackling through her. In all her fantasies, she had never thought her first time would be anything like this. The realist in her never thought it would be this /good/. So taken with the experience that she failed to note a tightness around her throat. The figure increased the speed of its thrusts into her, each one burying its cock as far as it would go and then withdrawing it almost completely from her, as if purposely maximizing her pleasure. Melissa moaned loudly and deeply, giving her entire body and mind to the figure's lovemaking, no longer caring who or what it was. It took less than a minute, however, before her fear returned, for she finally became aware of the constriction around her throat. She tried to draw in a deep breath and wheezed instead. Fear became panic, panic became terror. She tried to scream, but the band around her throat only closed more tightly. /No,/ she heard the figure say. /No, you are enjoying this. You are for me./ Melissa then made the connection. The one that Susan and Ann had told her about. The so-called sex-strangler. She was about to become its next victim. But even as the band around her neck began to shut off her air, she felt herself rising towards another climax as his thrusts continued to build uninterrupted. The intensity of the stimulation in the midst of her suffocation was almost excruciating. /No, you will not die, for you are mine./ Suddenly the pressure around her neck was gone, and Melissa gasped in air. At the same time, she exploded into an orgasm so intense that it hurt for the first few seconds, then became an all-consuming ecstasy that rattled her to her core. Her throbs reverberated up her vagina, into her cervix, into her womb, and from there seemed to radiate to her hips. It was as if her entire body were trying to participate. In the midst of this, the figure plunged into her and climaxed. She felt hot seed fire into her depths, his throbs prolonging her own orgasm until it felt like it would never end. She screamed her pleasure and desperation into the night, until her climax finally started to fade. She panted and gasped, trying to catch her breath from both her near-suffocation and her mind-numbing orgasm. Tears flowed from her eyes in relief as she discovered that the fires of her desire had finally been doused. The figure slid off her body. It reached a hand over her neck, and the band that encircled it disappeared. It then paused a moment. The figure's pinpoint red eyes appeared, and it leaned in closer, its groan questioning in nature. It reached down into the dirt and picked up the pentacle pendant. /Yes,/ it said. /Yes, I see. I understand./ Melissa swallowed and looked up at the figure. She did not dare say a word. Something told her that the best thing she could do now was stay quiet. /You wish the Power./ Melissa's eyes widened. The wind-shaped voice conveyed the capitalization of that word to her mind. Could Susan and Ann have been truthful after all? Was this really what she was waiting for, for this mysterious figure to come to her and bestow upon her what she needed to become part of the Circle? Maybe mentioning the so-called sex-strangler was just a way of giving her a hint of what was to come. /Is this what you want?/ the figure asked her more insistently. "Yes!" Melissa cried. "Yes, that is what I want. That is ... that is what I have been prepared for." The figure appeared to consider for a moment, then let the pentacle drop from its fingers. /If you wish to receive the Power, you must give me your innocence and virtue. I already have taken your virtue. Will you give me your innocence as willingly?/ Melissa swallowed, feeling her fear return as the figure loomed over her. There was no choice as to her answer. Her answer had to be yes. She did not come this far to turn back now. "Yes. Yes, I will give you my innocence as well." The figure uttered another groan, this time a mixture of satisfaction and pleasure. /You are the first,/ it said, and she sensed joy in its "voice." /None before you have been willing. It has been a very long time since I have had anyone./ It was then that Melissa realized that there was something going on that was not what Susan and Ann had intended. This figure might very well be the mysterious sex-strangler, but his nature and his motives were completely different from what everyone had assumed. Before she could go any further with this reasoning, the figure rose to its full height and extended a hand over her. There were two loud snapping sounds from above her, then two more below her. At once, the tightness on her extremities vanished. She was too astonished to move at first, but when she finally did, she saw that the ropes no longer held her limbs in place. She slowly drew her arms and legs inward, wincing as her strained muscles protested. She looked up at the figure. It was turned such that she could see it almost in profile. She could see a single, long protrusion from its shape at roughly waist level. She understood at once that she was seeing the figure's penis. The figure now turned to her and gestured silently for her to come forward. Melissa understood now what was being asked of her. Her fear spiked briefly, but it was more fear over her lack of experience than anything else. She drew herself up to sitting position. A truncated piece of rope trailed from each wrist and ankle. She glanced at them and wanted to remove them. The knots did not look impossible for her to undo. There was no time for it now, as the figure stood before her and continued to gesture for her to come to him. Melissa was eager to complete her "initiation," though it had turned into something quite different from what she was sure Susan and Ann had intended for her. Pausing only to rip the tape from her feet and chuck the shoes she hated to the side, she crawled over to the figure on her hands and knees. She knelt directly before it, her heart racing. Despite how benevolent the figure was to her now, she still remembered that it had been about to kill her, and only her enjoyment of his "rape" of her had saved her. The figure stepped closer, and for the first time, Melissa thought she could see some detail in the absolute blackness. She was not sure exactly what it was. It was as if she were seeing patterns of energy, as if she were tracing the flow of the figure's life force. In all of this, the shape of his massive cock appeared. Melissa reached up with a slightly trembling hand and cradled the erection in her fingers. Like the rest of him, his skin was very smooth and slippery, as if she were touching one of her lubricated dildos. She let her fingers trace its shape. She drew her fingertips along the underside, and was rewarded with a deep groan from the figure. /Remember,/ she heard the figure say. /You must swallow my essence to complete your task./ Melissa had surmised that herself, and she wasted no time in touching her tongue to the figure's erect member. She ran her tongue up and down the underside of the shaft, feeling the skin ripple against her tongue. Her hand sought out its balls and cradled them gently, massaging them slowly and carefully. She heard what sounded like heavy breathing from above her, and hoped that meant she was doing it right. She opened her mouth and took his erection inside, wrapping her lips tightly around his thick shaft and drawing it inside with an intake of breath, squeezing her cheeks around his cock as it slid further inside. She could smell his musk as she felt the figure slowly thrust his hips back and forth. Melissa pressed her tongue against the underside as it slid past, hoping to stimulate his sensitive areas more thoroughly. /You give me great pleasure a second time,/ the figure told her approvingly. /You do me a great honor./ Melissa was relieved, and it encouraged her to continue her ministrations. She used her hand to caress the bottom half of his shaft, as she could accommodate only about half of him inside her mouth at once. She stroked the underside of the shaft at the same time that she lashed at him with her tongue, letting his manhood rest in her mouth as she lapped at what she believed to be the most sensitive spot just past the head. She heard a low groan from the figure and felt its cock shudder inside her mouth as it throbbed powerfully in orgasm. Large globs of hot semen splashed over her tongue. Melissa moaned softly as her mouth filled with his seed. Eagerly she swallowed, feeling the strangely spicy and sticky fluid blaze a trail down her throat. Still more of his essence spewed into her mouth as he continued to cum, and she lapped it up as quickly as it was produced, swallowing as fast she she could. Finally the orgasm began to fade, and the figure withdrew its cock from her mouth. She swallowed the last bit that was in her mouth, and slowly rose to her feet. Melissa closed her eyes. After a pause, she opened them, and saw the truth. "They lied to me from the start," Melissa said. She looked at the figure. "Susan and Ann. They lied. They were never my friends. Then never intended me to be part of their little clique. This was all just a joke to them, a sham, bogus! /They LIED!!/" Her voice had been steadily increasing in volume as she spoke, and the last word was screamed at the top of her lungs. Her eyes blazed with raw fury, an emotion that she never let herself feel. Until now. /Innocence lost,/ the figure said. Melissa felt like she was seeing everything that had happened in her life from a totally new perspective. "I can't believe what a fool I've been! All through my life! Now I see it. Now I /really/ see it. Not one of the people that claimed to be a friend really was a friend. There was always some ulterior motive. And I knew it. On some level I knew it, and I just took it! I took it because I could fool myself into thinking that just maybe I was wrong, that someone thought I was worth knowing. I took solace in that, and rationalized my way to happiness. But you know what? That was all bullshit! Well, /fuck that anymore!/" In her rage, the result of years of pent up emotions from the abuse she felt she suffered at the hands of countless peers, she picked up a rock that lay on the ground and hurtled it at a tree on the other side of the clearing. The rock struck the trunk and exploded like a small bomb in a flash of blue-white light, sending pieces of bark and splintered wood in all directions, leaving a large crater in the side of the tree. Melissa's jaw dropped in astonishment and she stared, her fury curbed for the moment. /And with the loss of your innocence,/ said the figure, /you now have the Power./ Melissa was silent, as if she were somehow searching her own inner being. When she spoke, her voice was soft and eerie. "Yes ... Yes, you're right, I ... I can see it ... I can feel it." She lifted her hands before her face. She cast her gaze on the pieces of rope that still were wrapped about her wrists. After a few seconds, first one, then the other of the ropes loosened and untied itself, dropping from her wrists into heaps on the ground. Melissa viciously kicked at them. She willed the rope to released her ankles, and they too fell from her body. Melissa felt a rush of renewed excitement. She slowly closed her hands into fists. She could literally feel powerful currents of energy like electricity surging through her body, waiting for her to release them, to command them to do her bidding. "I have control," Melissa said, a smile spreading across her face. "I finally have control of my life. I have control of it all! Whoever or whatever you are, thank you for ..." But when she turned her head, there was only the ordinary darkness of the night. She whirled around, sweeping the entire clearing with her gaze, but the figure had vanished. And as she stood and listened, the noises of the forest returned. It was as if nothing had happened. But something /had/ happened. She was standing, freed from her ropes, and with a new realization, a new outlook on her life. And she had the Power. She could still feel it inside of her. She could still see in her mind how to use it, and what its limitations were. Nevertheless, a creeping dread came over her that she had dreamed or hallucinated the entire thing. Melissa looked down on the ground where the remains of her ropes lay. She stretched her hand out over them and concentrated. After a few seconds, one of the ropes started to twitch, then flew upwards and into her hand. She held it in her grasp and made the rope slither and coil like a snake as if it were alive. Then she let it go limp, where it swung impotently in the breeze. And now, as she stood alone, free from all physical and emotional bonds, she pondered exactly what she should do next. She looked down at the ropes on the ground and the pieces still tied to the stakes. She realized that she could see far better in the dark now than she could earlier, much more than she could account for by mere dark-adaptation. Either that, or she was simply sensing everything around her in ways that she could not earlier. The answer came to her. Susan and Ann had to be dealt with. The old Melissa would have simply let it go and seek to avoid any further contact with them. But to the new Melissa, this was unacceptable. Now she had the ability to set things straight, to settle the score, even to take revenge if she so desired. Melissa smiled, as evilly as Ann had when she had conceived of her maneuver with Melissa's panties. The realization that she now had the power and the freedom to make these choices excited her. It even aroused her, even though she had already had more sex than she had experienced in her entire life up to that day. Yes, there was definitely something strangely erotic about having this power. "Perhaps they were right when the said that sex is power," Melissa said aloud. Yes, she would deal with Susan and Ann. Many ideas were coming to her mind, things that would have horrified her if heard from others' lips before that night, things that she now allowed herself to contemplate freely with no pangs of guilt or remorse. She looked towards the center of the clearing where she had been tied down. As much as she may have wanted to see the expression on their faces when they saw her free of her ropes, she knew that this would put them off, either by claiming that she had cheated somehow, or by becoming frightened of her. While Melissa may have wanted them to be frightened of her at some point, that would come in due course. Melissa took the rope that was still in her hand. She brought it over to one of the frayed ends of a piece attached to a stake. She pressed the two torn ends together and concentrated. The strands of the two ends of rope twitched. At first the motion was random and chaotic, like snakes slithering around each other. Finally, slowly, the strands of rope began to twine about each other, knitting the rope together. After about a minute it was done, and the rope looked as though nothing had happened to it. Melissa did the same with the other three, until she now had four whole pieces of rope again, just as Susan and Ann had laid them out earlier. Melissa smiled and calmly assumed the same position in which they had left her. She stretched her arms and legs, spreading them apart. She closed her eyes and reached out with her mind to the ends of rope. She lay quiet and still as the ends of the ropes slithered around her ankles and wrists. She felt them pull her limbs into the same positions as before as they knotted themselves. When it was done, Melissa appeared exactly as she had before the shadowy figure had descended on her. Unlike when she was first placed into this position, she felt relaxed, and she looked up at the stars in admiration of the clarity of the sky. She knew she could free herself with a thought at a moment's notice. She was now in control. She turned her head and glanced over to where her panties lay on the ground and she frowned. As much as she wanted to avoid anything appearing out of the ordinary, she refused to put the panties and tape back on her mouth. Melissa willed one of her arms to be released. She picked up the tape and stuck it on the panties. She then grasped the panties and threw them into the underbrush. She let the rope entwine about her wrist again. She waited. <1st attachment end> ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ Notice: This post has been modified from its original format.
