I strode home from the bus, bridesmaid gown and shoes FINALLY in hand. Lisa's wedding is tomorrow for God's sake! I can fit in filming a quick Youtube makeup tutorial for how I do my makeup in the morning and still make it in time.
As I walked along, I didn't notice a hand shooting out from an open door. Before I knew it, I was grabbed and yanked in. I tumbled to the floor of some apartment, my boxes strewn about. I whipped my head around angrily to yell at whoever pulled this prank. He was a strong middle aged man, pointing a gun right at me.
My eyes locked on that freaky looking gun. "Please don't hurt me. You can take my money, just don't hurt me."
He chuckled, clearly amused. "I don't need your money."
This guy was going to rape me, just a few doors down from my house? I wasn't letting this happen! I quickly looked around the barren apartment. The only furniture was a chair facing the street; he had been sitting waiting for me. I had nothing to fight with. I screamed, "Help!"
My screaming was cut short as a jolt of electricity shot through my body! I tried struggling and screaming, but couldn't do anything more than lay on the floor. I felt a needle jab in my arm, and within moments, everything went dark.
I woke up groggy. I blinked a few times, trying to get my eyes to focus right. I looked around. I was at one end of an attic with a pitched roof. Gleaming steel bars ran floor to ceiling, preventing me from leaving. A single light bulb provided the solitary light in this attic. My captor was standing there, arms crossed, looking smug. "Oh good, you are finally conscious. Welcome to Club Chained!"
What he said wasn't really sinking in. I mumbled, "What happened?"
"Well ginger, I selected you to be the next cum slut here at Club Chained. Transportation was provided free of charge." He smiled, amused at his own joke.
I was so confused, but gradually the mental cobwebs were clearing. "What? Who are you? What time is it? I'm a bridesmaid at a wedding!"
"Oh, I am Mr. Rose, but you will call me 'Sir.' You've been unconscious for 4 days. Don't worry about the wedding; Lisa enjoyed it without you. Perhaps in time I will show you some of the pictures she posted on her Facebook page."
I shrieked, "What??? Let me go!" As I came out of my stupor more and more, I realized he had re-dressed me into my bridesmaid outfit. It was as if he wanted to rub in that I missed the wedding! I flew into a rage, shaking the cage bars back and forth. They held firm. With a ferocious growl, I pushed with all my might against the bars, trying to force them out from their moorings. Mr. Rose stood patiently, perhaps amused at my futile struggles.
I yelled out, "Let me go you twisted freak!"
Mr. Rose hit a remote, and a zap of electricity on my neck made me shriek in pain! My hands flew up, and I felt a collar around my neck. What the hell?
Mr. Rose smiled and calmly said "Ginger, you will call me 'Sir'. And you will speak to me demurely. I'm not a twisted freak; I'm the club owner. You will respect me as such." He got dreamy for a moment. "Oh yes. My clients will enjoy taking a nice fiery ginger."
Being called "Ginger" just enraged me more. I've been taunted too many times that redheads have no soul, that I ate too many carrots, or my hair was on fire. "I won't be your damned hooker!"
Mr. Rose smiled. "Ooh! Redheads are so feisty. I love it! I'm going to enjoy breaking you."
"Feisty? You haven't see feisty you sick son of a ..." Mr. Rose hit the remote again, cutting me off. I cried out in pain as his shock collar zapped me again.
He continued, grinning widely. That bastard was enjoying this! "I've heard redheads feel pain more than others. That's fine by me. I love hearing your delightful squeals at the push of a button. Redheads are the kinkiest and generally screamers. And you will address me as 'Sir.'"
I looked around my cage area. There was only a plain mattress and a toilet. The toilet terrified me; he was planning to keep me here for a long time. I clutched the bars with a frustrated huff.
Mr. Rose pointed the remote at me. He teased, "And what is my title?"
"OK! Fine! You win! Sir! You are Sir. Now can I go?"
Mr. Rose smiled at the first crack in breaking me. "That will do for the first session. You've been out for quite a while. I'll have Butter serve you some food." With that pronouncement, he turned and walked down the stairs. I was left alone. I realized I was famished and very thirsty. I hoped the food would come quick.
Maybe an hour later, a young woman sauntered up the stairs. She was wearing a skimpy purple satin outfit, a pair of high-heeled shoes strapped onto her feet and a thick choker around her neck. The smell of food wafted to me, and I looked at it eagerly. She walked across the attic, the sound of her heels clicking on the wooden floor. She smiled at me, placed the plate on the ground, and slid it through the bars without a word.
I wanted her to empathize with me. "Hi! I'm Cathy. What's your name?"
She craned her neck, showing me the shiny pendant that dangled from it. I looked closer and realized what seemed to be a decorative choker was actually a sturdy shock collar. A small, thick padlock made sure that it stayed around her neck. The pendant was the silhouette of a nude woman. "Butter" was inscribed in bold letters. Then I noticed she was blond, like butter. She was also named from her hair color.
I spoke in a timid voice, not to scare her off. "Your name is Butter? Can you speak?"
Butter nodded in confirmation of her name. She pointed to her mouth and shook her head side to side, then at the shock portion of her collar as if in explanation. I got the message loud and clear - if she speaks, she will be zapped. However, despite her predicament, she seemed genuinely pleased to see me. She stood, watching me eat, and taking in the sight. I figured this was a good time to get to know her. "I was kidnapped and brought here. Were you kidnapped too?" She nodded.
"How long have you been here?" She held up one finger, then eight fingers. One...one day didn't seem right. Not one week, not one month... "One year and eight months?" I asked incredulously. Butter nodded.
