Chapter 6

When I reached the bottom of the stairs, the others followed me down.

“So, where are the keys,” Claudia wanted to know.

“They are in the chest over there,” I told her while moving towards the table with the drawer where the key was. Retrieving the key was easy, and I needed to squat down again with my back towards the chest to unlock it. By the number of times that I had flashed my pussy at them, they must be able to describe my slit without looking at it, I thought.

I noticed I couldn’t open the lid when I tried to open the chest. I could lift it but couldn’t push it far enough to make the cover fall backward; instead, it closed with a bang when I let go of it.

It was now that I realized that the next time I would do test runs, I would need to do it the same way I was planning to do my dare. I had never thought how difficult certain things would be when chained like I was.

Eventually, I managed to open the chest by standing at the side of it, so I could keep hold of the lid while I opened it completely.

I looked inside the chest and knew I was in even more trouble now. The plastic bag with all the keys was underneath the false bottom, and with my hands behind my back, it would be impossible for me to get to it.

I was figuring out how I could do it. I could turn over the chest, but I still needed to press a little button and pull the false bottom away to get to the keys.

I noticed Claudia smiling at me while I tried to figure out how to get to the keys.

Well, I couldn’t just stand there, so I tried to lift the chest up, so I could lay it on his side. But how much I tried, I just couldn’t do it. The trunk was too heavy, and with my hands so awkwardly chained behind my back, I couldn’t get a good grip on it.

I tried it with my legs while lying on the ground, but it didn’t work. The only thing I did was slide the chest over the floor.

Frustrated, I stood up and said, “I can’t get to the keys. Someone will need to help me.”

Claudia giggled and said, “When you told us about this chest earlier, I was already wondering how you could get at those keys.”

I sighed and said, “Yeah, I have tried it. I thought I had thought about everything but had never tried to cuff my hands behind my back and do some of the things I needed to do to get at everything.”

“You probably were overthinking how much fun you would be having, that certain things just slipped your mind.”

“Yeah, probable,” I had to confess. “So, can someone take the keys for me?”

“Sure,” Claudia said and went to the chest.

She stuck her finger in a little hole at the top right corner of the false bottom and pulled on it. It didn’t move. She looked at me and asked, “Um ... do I need to do something special?”

I smiled at her and said, “You need to push that little button at the corner of the chest.”

She felt around at the right corner of the chest until she found the button. She pushed it with her right hand and used her left hand to pull the bottom upwards and out of the trunk. She didn’t just grab the little bag with all the keys but first looked at all the other stuff still in it.

“You have some extra chains and padlocks, I see,” she stated.

“Yes, some extra stuff if something gets lost,” I responded.

She pulled out a chain and padlock and looked at it. She looked at the others and said, “This can come in handy.”

She gave it to Tim and finally grabbed the little bag with all the keys.

“Thanks,” I said ... too early.

“Why are you thanking me?” she wanted to know.

“Well, for getting my keys.”

She held up the little bag and said, “Sorry, but these are mine now. If we hadn’t been here, you couldn’t get yourself unchained, so you’ll stay like that for a little longer.”

I sighed and said, “I’m sure I would have figured it out eventually.”

“Yeah, too bad. You shouldn’t have given up then.”

I stared at her for a moment, and she stared back. How she looked at me made it evident that I better not complain about it anymore.

I saw how she put the keys away in Patrick’s backpack. She looked at me again and said, “Well, is there anything else you want to try to get free?”

I looked around me but knew there wasn’t anything around that could help me. Okay, some things around me could be used to get me free, but not with my hands locked behind my back. And so, I just shrugged and said, “No, I’m stuck like this ... for now.”

“Then we better go to Patrick’s aunt’s house now,” she said. “I hope she isn’t too worried about us already.

“You still have the padlock and key you just removed from the cellar door?”

I suddenly realized I hadn’t. I must have put it on the ground when I had been struggling with the cellar door before. So, I answered, “I think it’s lying outside at the door.”

“Okay, let’s go then.”

They turned around and started walking towards the exit while I thought about something.

“Um ... could you get me some clothes, so I can get dressed when you release me?”

Claudia looked at me and said, “I don’t think so. You need something to remind you that you made a huge mistake today. If we hadn’t been with you, you probably would have needed to stay like that until someone came to your house. Or ... until your parents got home eventually.”

“You can’t do that to me,” I complained.

“We can do whatever we want with you!” Claudia said while walking up to me. “We have been very nice to you until now, don’t you think so?”

“Um ... yes,” I responded.

“That’s right. So, just take your punishment like a grownup, and ... who knows, maybe you will like it. Now, get moving.”

“Okay, no clothes. But can I at least take my sneakers with me and my phone? I need my phone when my parents would call me. They would worry about me if I didn’t answer the phone.”

Claudia looked at me and said, “Okay, your sneakers and phone, but that’s all!”

“Thank you.”

Because they wanted to hurry up, I told Tim where he could find my phone and sneakers and to bring my phone’s charger.

He went upstairs, and a few minutes later, he was back with everything I was allowed to take with me.

This time, Linda helped me go up the stairs, and it was much easier with her support.

Claudia picked up the padlocks and keys from the ground and looked at them.

“If I’m right. The padlock with key number seven attached to it is the one which is now at the last tree in the forest?”

I had to think about it momentarily and then answered, “Yes, that’s right.”

“And I have key number one with padlock seven, so we need key number two for the first padlock in the forest.

I nodded my head.

“Where is that key?”

“It should be in the little bag you have from me.”

“Are you sure it is in it?”

“Yes, I’m sure,” I smiled at her.

“Okay then,” she said, and I noticed she locked the cellar door with padlock seven. I felt I wouldn’t be back home today if Patrick’s aunt allowed me to run around naked at her home. However, I also understood that if they set me free, I would need to walk the forest again to return to my home.

Padlock one and key number seven she pocketed in her shorts.

“Okay, let’s see your aunt now,” Claudia told Patrick.

This time, they walked before me, and I just followed them. They were walking much faster than I could walk, and I called out to them, “Hey, not so fast.”

“Do you know how to get there?” Claudia asked without looking at me.

“Yes,” I answered.

“We will wait for you there,” she told me, and they even picked up their pace.

I tried my best, but they were too fast. And when we eventually reached the hiking trail, they could just walk on while I needed to be more careful. Other people could still catch me if I didn’t watch out.

So, I needed to let them go while I carefully looked around before I went after them.
