Chapter Five: The Game Continues
Officer Reynolds sat through the whole video in a morbid silence. He had watched many of these games before of course, but only ever on recorded film, never live. The feeling of helplessness he felt just watching the two girls suffer and knowing there was nothing he could do to help made him feel sick right down to the pits of his stomach. He wanted to put a bullet through Michelle's head right there and then but he knew the only way to save his sister was to play the game her way for the time being.
Michelle was first to break the silence.
"Such a shame," she began, voice filled with a mock disappointment, "I guess they just lacked that will to win. Don't you agree inspector?"
"How can you do that to innocent people?" replied Reynolds coldly.
"I didn't 'do' anything Inspector, I was here watching with you. If they had truly wanted to walk out of there unchanged, they could have."
"You're a monster." Reynolds' voice had become nothing more than an emotionless monotone. "Kidnapping these poor girls to play your sick games. You know they won't win, its almost impossible."
"Not everybody loses Officer, those who want it most will not lose."
"You're wrong. You make games that people cannot win, nobody wants to end up like that."
"I beg to differ Officer," smiled Michelle, "The losing girls embrace their new lives, no longer bound by heavy thoughts and pressures to be upstanding women of the community. A life of sex and giggles comes as a comfort, not a curse." She paused for a moment before adding, "Just ask your wife."
Reynolds felt his blood turn to lava at the mention of his wife. Red mist fully descended, he reached for his gun and aimed it straight a Michelle's head.
"Don't you dare mention my wife again!" He screamed, face beetroot with rage and finger curled around the trigger. "I should just shoot you right now and end this whole charade."
"We both know why you won't shoot me officer," Michelle didn't even seem to flinch as she smiled back at Reynolds, "Kill me and it's game over for everyone else. You wouldn't want that on your conscience now, would you?"
Reynolds hand began to shake as he tried to hold his shot at her before he finally yielded defeat and lowered his aim.
"That's better officer," Michelle was beginning to sound like a mother addressing a small child, "Now let's just sit down quietly and continue with the game."
Reynolds was trying to think of a way to fight, but was out of options. All his bluffs had failed, there was still no word from the tech team about the victims' location and there was only just over three hours left to save his sister. Until he could come up with something else, he had no other option but to play to her rules. Without saying a word he sat back down and as if on cue, screen three maximised once more and a new game began.
Chapter six: Sucks to be You
Monica and Jessica came to at around the same time. The last thing either of them remembered was having yet another huge fight in the park behind campus and now here they were, prisoners trapped in a narrow corridor.
The girls, like those from the previous game, were bound facing away from each other. This time though instead of being on all fours they were positioned on their knees with hands cuffed behind their backs around a pole that ran from floor to roof. Each girls' calves were strapped down in order to make it impossible to do anything but kneel and stare at the blank screens each had in front of them.
As the grogginess lifted from them, both girls quickly realised they were in the company of the other and, more scarily, they began to realise their predicament.
"Monica?" Jessica was first to speak, "Is that you? Where are we? What is this place?"
"Yeah it's me Jess, and I don't know where we are. Last thing I knew we were in the park."
"Same here. What the fuck is this place?"
"I don't know, but we've got to find a way to get out of here."
"How are we supposed to do that? I don't know if you have noticed but I for one am strapped to the spot!"
"Don't you dare start getting fucking bitchy with me Jess. I'm just trying to think positively. For all I know it's your fault we are in this mess."
"Well that's just typical of you isn't it Mon? Always blame someone else, never yourself."
"Oh I see, so it was all my fault that you told everyone I had slept with my Dad."
"Well you shouldn't have said made up that lie about me having a foursome with Mike, Brad and Steve should have you?"
"You stole my boyfriend! You expected me to just taking that lying down? Do you not know me at all Jess."
"You still haven't gotten over that! It was nearly a year ago for fucks sake. Why can't you just accept that..."
Jessica cut herself off mid sentence, distracted by the Barbie doll head which appeared on the screen in front of her. Monica will to argue also fast dissipated as she slowly came to realise the significance of the figure on the screen. They were fucked.
"Hello Monica, Hello Jessica." began the low mechanical voice. "I want to play a game."
Those were the six words that ripped through the heart of any kidnappee who heard them, the six words that confirmed only one thing: they were victims of the Barbiemaker. Aware of their fate, they also knew there was only one way to give themselves the best chance of survival, stay quiet and listen to everything the doll had to say. They had to win the game.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your little argument, but some things are more important than the silly squabbles of two petty girls. Please do not mistake this apology as proof I am here with you, but seeing as you can't go two minutes in each others presence without fighting, it is only fair to assume you were both screaming at each other even in the dire straits you find yourself in now."
Both girls kept quiet, trying to take all the words in as the voice continued.
"It's hard to believe that just twelve short months ago, you two were best friends. That was, right up until that fateful incident when you let a man come between you. A man you turned a decade of sister-like friendship into a year of rumour after vicious rumour. Whether it was accusations of orgies, incest or sex for grades, you each said whatever you could to cast the other in a negative light. You took spite to a level that shocked even me."
The girls both shuddered at the judgement that was being passed on them. Regardless of whether they deserved what was coming or not, they knew they were guilty as charged. It was now time for them to discover exactly what a year of spreading bile had gotten them into. The voice continued...
"A few moments after this video ends, the conveyor belt you are strapped will activate. At this point a twenty minute timer will also begin to count down. When it hits zero, the conveyor will cease moving and a very special gas will be released into the hallway. Trust me, after a few breaths of this you will become a whole new person."
"This can't be happening." said Monica,
"Shh!" went Jessica, "We have to listen to this."
The doll continued to explain the game: "Uninterrupted, the conveyor belt would transport you to the door in about ninety seconds and once there all your bonds would automatically unlock. However, before you reach the end you will pass by four doorways, two on each side. When you are in line with one of these doorways, the conveyor belt will grind to a halt and the door will slide open to reveal somebody you know."
Both girls wanted to scream, but their voices felt frozen by fear.
"That person and that person only, has access to the controls that will restart the conveyor belt and they have been conditioned to only restart the conveyor belt when somebody swallows their cum. All four have been injected with a drug so that they will neither recognise you or even remember this event happening. They will just be in a constant state of high arousal and readiness to push the button when needed. Therefore I advise that you do not try to reason with them, you will just be wasting your time. I will be there to give you a short introduction to who is behind each door but other than that, you have all the information you need to win the game. So I suggest you just close your eyes, suck like you've never sucked before and make sure not to spill anything. Let the game begin."
When the screen faded back to black, both girls were still too stunned to speak. Both just knelt there trying to comprehend what had just happened and dreaded to think who may be behind each door.
Finally Monica spoke, "We can't seriously be about to do this can we?"
"Do you have a better idea?" replied Jessica, "You've seen the videos of the girls who lost these games, we both have. Do you want to end up like that?"
"Of course not, but... it's sick! Who could come up with something like this?"
"I know it's sick," Jessica was trying to speak in an as reassuring tone as she could as she spoke, "I don't think you'd find a more twisted person on this entire planet but still, from what I've read about other girls who had to play these games I think we've got off easy."
"How can you say that!" choked Monica.
"Look I'm not saying its gonna be a fun day out or anything, but we've both sucked a couple of random dicks in our time. It could have been a whole lot worse than this."
"But these won't be rand..."
