The lasso cinched firm around Renée's ankles and instantly yanked her legs out from under her, not so much felling her as flinging her hard to the ground. Her book flew from her hands with a busy rustling of pages. She landed face down, falling so fast she wasn't even able to bring up her arms to catch herself. More slack came out of the rope and she was dragged a few feet along the ground, toward the trunk of the tree the Filthy Hermit's apparatus had been built on.
Something was wrong, though, because the lasso wasn't lifting her up, only pulling her along the ground. Looking on from his hiding place at the sapling, the Filthy Hermit immediately saw the problem: the branch anchoring the rope to the ground, which he'd expected to snap when the trap was sprung, had held. Because of this not all the slack had gone out of the rope and it was only free to exert lateral, not upward, pull. He would have to remedy this quickly, so he shambled from the sapling over to the branch.
Meanwhile Renée lay inert, knocked silly. She rolled over on her side, visibly in pain, and clutched at her chest, gulping and gasping hollowly, wide-eyed with fear: her fall had knocked the wind out of her and, having never experienced this before, she was terrified that she was suffocating. At the same time her flight instinct kicked in and she wriggled her legs, struggling to lift herself up so she could run. But the taut vine bound her ankles together and she studied it in frightened confusion. At first she seemed like she was going to try and escape her sudden bondage—not that it would help, the Filthy Hermit gloated silently—but her panic over having her air stolen out of her consumed her, and a moment later she was clutching at her throat and thrashing miserably, desperate to breathe.
The Filthy Hermit kicked the branch and it snapped easily. The vine yanked Renée into the air by her feet with a quick jerk so hard her body's momentum sent her into the air. The vine went slack for a pregnant moment as she hung weightless in the air, completely at a loss what was happening to her. Then she fell back down, hard enough that the vine—which was only supposed to have enough slack to hang her upside down in the air, her head a foot or two off the ground—stretched, and the high branch it was threaded over bent. As a result her head cracked against the ground with enough force to make the Filthy Hermit wince as he looked on. She still hadn't recovered her breath and she dangled limply, one hand pressed against her forehead where she'd banged it into the ground, teeth gritted in pain, eyes lazy with confusion. Then she managed a pair of labored breaths and in an instant she was thrashing around like a fish on the end of a hook.
Hanging upside down her miniskirt flipped over its waistband so it hung around her sides and navel and her hips, posterior and pelvis were exposed, except for a pair of sheer pink panties that matched her miniskirt. The Filthy Hermit gazed at her in this impromptu state of dishabille and lust raged in him, stronger than before, because now he wasn't merely peering at her as she walked by. She was ensnarled and soon he'd be able to do with her as he liked.
Now that she was beginning to get her wits about her, such as they were, the first thing she tried was not to fumble at the rope binding her ankles but to press uselessly at her miniskirt, at first the front and then back over her exposed lower torso. Of course, without gravity on her side there wasn't much she could do; if she pulled one hem over her backside it left her pubis exposed; if she pulled on both her blouse would settle on the underside of her quivering breasts, baring her slim stomach and threatening to expose her ripe bosom. Any chick stupid enough to waste these precious few moments right after springing a trap trying to cover herself instead of trying to escape when this would probably be her last chance—a chick that stupid deserved everything the Filthy Hermit was going to do to her.
Renée was hanging in the balance between freedom and captivity; now was the time to put her down for the count. The Filthy Hermit climbed out of the bushes in a frenzy, stumbling as though crazed, and lurched over to his captured swan. She was gently swaying and slowly rotating, one hand fumbling with her skirt, and as he rose up to her, stealthily but quickly, she froze and sniffed. Her wriggling quieted as she recognized the same foul odor that had so haunted her these past few weeks on the path, and the pieces started falling into place for her.
She turned, having to swing her shoulders to do so, and saw the Filthy Hermit padding towards her—morbidly obese, streaked in grease and sweat, smeared with thick grime and flakes of offal from the animals he'd killed in the wild. Rotted semen was caked on his fly-buzzed dugs and stuck to the inside of his hirsute, fat-addled legs where it had drained from his black testicles. Renée, her face already scrunched up in fear and loathing from the sudden shock of her circumstance and the unwelcome visitation of that familiar, horrific odor, shifted into blind panic on seeing the Filthy Hermit. Her eyes went wide, glossy with white, and her chest filled up, mustering a scream.
The Filthy Hermit alighted on his prey. By glorious design what he coveted most about her was now most available, and he turned her about briskly by her jiggling hips to present her quivering rumpcakes, bare well above the fold of her thighs, their shape retained in the tight clean white-with-pink-trim panties she wore. They were firm and healthy. He would need to inseminate both of her other main fuckholes, to see if she was worthy. And then there was the need to examine her tolerance for pain, as well as her willingness to exult the Dark Lord. There would be much to discover about the young missy in the next few days.
"But first," said the Filthy Hermit, speaking to the entities in his head, "the scent." He'd not heard his own voice in years.
With one hand holding Renée steady on her left bottomcheek, and the other fighting off her fumbling wrists—which were by turns trying to schoo him away or, once again uselessly, push her tiny skirt over her demi-nude rear end—the Filthy Hermit plunged his face into the crack of Renée's fanny. From what he'd learned of Renée's lifestyle he knew her butt would be fresh and she was, smelling only of the cotton of her undies, the natural sweet fragrance that a girl her age emits, and a hint of perfume and talcum powder.
Her soft buttocks warmed and soothed the sides of the Filthy Hermit's greasy snout and he leaned into his task, first running his flared nostrils in long and heavy strokes along the fold of her bottom-side, and then pumping hot fast breaths over her tender anus and pantied quim, almost pants, meanwhile dabbing his sniffing face over her creamy ass. When he desisted for a moment and pulled back to admire her little rump up close, he saw he'd left a streak of green and yellow snot on the seat of her underpants.
"Smell the girl," the Filthy Hermit muttered. He massaged her bottomcheeks greedily with both hands, no longer concerned about her attempts to push him away or move her skirt back up over her violated hindquarters. "Sniff her pretty butt."
"Nnnggh," groaned Renée, "No." She wriggled and gritted her teeth, struggling, but the Filthy Hermit had her at too much of a disadvantage. Her thrashing did cause her tush to wobble tastily, though. The Filthy Hermit started biting her on her half-naked fanny. He'd sniff her and then give her a good chomp, holding her fast at both sides so she couldn't flinch away but so he could feel her try, feel her hips twitch and spasm and jerk ineffectually against his clutched, tensed fists. He didn't chomp hard enough to break her skin, but hard enough to hurt a little, to make her jump and protest bitterly—"Ow!"—and scare her. This was particularly true since the Filthy Hermit growled and hissed as he nibbled at her, and he looked so like an animal in his coat of filth, his godless nudity, his exposed, erect, disease-ridden genitalia, that she had no way of knowing what his limits were. Would he bite her flesh? Would he bite it off? Was it his intention to—gulp—physically consume her as prey? She had no way of knowing.
