Princess Tessy's Ride Into Peril Chapter Four - Captured Again "This is what I get for being chivver....chilver....chival....nice!" spat Skar as he seized Alabaster’s reins with one hand and Tessy’s wrist with the other. "Well no more of that! We’re going to make sure you don’t get away this time! Come on boys!’ He said as the other two horsemen followed with Skar’s riderless mount. When they got to the camp he pushed Tessy down on the blanket and called for more rope! "I’m gonna show you how we used to tie men in the Navy before I deserted! This has held even stronger men than me!" he said with a humorless laugh. Tessy was too terrified to even speak as the men brought long coils of rough looking rope to their leader. Pulling the Princess back to her feet he tightly bound her hands behind her with her wrists crossed together and pulled up uncomfortably and passed the rope around her waist and shoulders, pinning her arms to her side and pulling the rope tighter with every wind. "Ow Stop! I won’t try to get away I...mmmph!" Said Tessy as the hated gag was tied back into her mouth tighter than ever. Fine way to treat a Princess! Tessy thought indignantly, along with several words that Mrs. Bear never wanted to hear her say. Angrily Skar wound the rope around her legs. Tessy saw the skirts of her lovely gown being bunched and wrinkled by the cruel rope that snaked all around them. Finally binding her feet together he all but threw her down on the blanket and pulling her into a sitting position against the trunk of the tree he took more rope and tied it around her waist and the trunk of the tree securing her to it. Then he took a hammer and pounded a stake into the ground. Tying one end of a short piece of rope to the stake he took the other end and tied it around Tessy’s bound ankles. Pulling her legs out straight and making it impossible for her to move at all. "Now you’ll just stay that way until we get our ransom!" Skar hissed between his teeth. "You should know that Bandits sleep with one eye open, even drunk! You might have been able to pull one over on Bodkin!" he continued, indicating the still snoring man Tessy had stolen the dagger from. "But you’ve got to get up pretty early in the morning to put one over on me!" With that he rose and left poor Tessy, in an even worse state than she was in earlier. The rope around her bare arms and hands itched terribly and although her skirts protected her legs a little better. She was even more helpless than ever. Now the tears flowed freely as she realized the hopelessness of her situation. Helplessly Tessy gave Alabaster a forlorn look as she saw him once more hobbled and tied to a tree. She wanted to say, "I’m sorry Alabaster! I failed us both! " But could only imagine a muffled gurgle mingled with choking sobs. Every so once in a while she tried her bonds and found them too tight for her to even move! Having bolstered her courage as much as she could, Tessy still couldn’t help but cry herself into a fitful slumber. Chapter Five - An Even Worse Day |
