MELODY - LOST FROM HOME

BY TURNER2CORNERS

[ part 6 ]

Melody was sitting in my lap and continued her interrupted story about her time at Ropeville Hotel.

I was dressed in a very pretty golden dress, the oriental girl had included a petticoat and panties, they felt so soft and really nice, they did make me feel like a princess.

I had been reading up on my role in this story, I was a princess who's father was the king of 'some land', but an evil Baron was trying to make him abdicate.

The Barons name was Latchless, the story continued that I had been playing with some of the castle's children and was being escorted back to my chambers when the guards had grabbed hold of me and took me out of the castle.

When I woke up I was in a dungeon and was awaiting my abductor to arrive -not knowing what they might do. The story stopped there, but I knew that it would be continuing soon.

The lights in the dungeon were dim, I could make out the bed, a bucket and a plate with some bread on it, there was also a goblet of water, I was feeling hungry and so I got up and walked to the plate.

Before I could touch the food the door opened and two guards walked in, behind them was a fattish man.

"Oh no Princess," he said, "You don't have any food just yet, you've got to convince your father that his best interest is to name me heir!"

I remembered the story and tried to act like that queen in Star Wars, "I'm sorry Baron Latchless, but my father will not be persuaded by me."

The man smiled at me, "You say that now Princess, but after you see what is in store for you I think you'll change your mind!" He turned to the guards, "Bring her, but be gentle, she is a princess." And bowing low he walked out of the dungeon.

The two guards stood either side of her, one turned to her, "If you'll kindly follow the Baron please Princess." He said. Having no choice in the matter, she walked forwards in the wake of the man.

As she walked along the corridor she noticed that the walls were all large slabs of stone, there were doors at regular intervals, behind some of these sounds of people crying out in pain.

Although she knew that it was all a game, she couldn't help but shiver at the noises, the man in front of her - No she'll have to call him the Baron as she'll have to be in character - turned and sneered at her.

"Don't worry about the sounds you hear, you'll be making the same in the next few days!" And he then carried on walking, the guards behind her ensuring she followed him.

They entered into a large area, there were torture equipment in set places, looking up she could see young girls locked in cages suspended from the ceiling. The Baron noticed her gaze and said, "Yes. I've already brought some of your friends from the castle her to help you decide."

He pointed to the large wooden rack where a girl of about 12 was already stretched out, she was only dressed in panties and her young breasts were heaving as she breathed. "You remember young Bethany here don't you," He said as he ran his hands over her exposed chest, making the girl gasp with the sensations, she's just growing a bit too slowly for my liking, but this should really speed up her growth.

He walked away from the bound girl; Melody went up to her, "Does it really hurt?" She whispered to her - out of character for a moment

The girl shook her head, "No, I've done this before, they don't pull too tight but I'm supposed to moan as if they are, don't worry about me it's all playacting." Melody nodded and then thought she'd better get back into character.

"Don't worry Bethany! I'll try to get help." She said out loud, and added "my father will hear of this!"

The Baron laughed, "I sincerely hope so Princess, I'd hate to think I went through the trouble of taking you all just to be ignored!" He gestured to two men at the rack, one started to turn the wheels causing Bethany to moan apparently with pain, although as she looked at Melody she winked.

The Baron then directed her eyes to another piece of equipment, a large X-shaped frame on which another half naked girl, almost 14 Melody guessed, was held, a woman stood behind her with a leather belt in her hands.

"When we've finished with the rack, we'll introduce you to our mistress of the whips, she knows how to really warm up those who feel cold." He nodded at the woman who drew her arm back and then snapped it forward, the leather belt snapping and then wrapping itself around the girls body, causing the girl to scream, but Melody could see her eyes were shining, not from tears but from another sensation which she could not understand, her reading of stories had opened her mind to sexual things and life with her parents had been open so that she knew people could be sexually turned on by the strangest things.

The Baron was speaking again, "And then of course you could always decide to betroth yourself to me, in which case I would automatically become the heir to the throne, after you of course."

She looked at the man and his sneering face, she turned away, "And I suppose at sometime I would suffer a tragic death! No Baron I'm not so stupid as to believe you."

The Baron laughed at that, "Oddsbodkins, I'd never have expected one as young as you to understand the politics of this, there's more to you than meets the eyes, I'd wager. Very well Princess since you understand this so well, why don't we up the price." This was obviously a signal, as the prisoners were released from their bondage and taken out from the area, leaving the girls still in their cages.

"I think you need to feel the effects of these little toys for yourself" The Baron said, gesturing two masked women over, although they were wearing thong type panties they had little else and their naked flesh glistened with oils and perspiration, they took Melody dress by the collar and pulled it away from the girl, leaving her in the petticoat and panties

The Baron pulled her closer to him by pulling on the petticoat bodice, he glanced down the front at her flat chest, "Not much there to test is there, but I'm sure we'll find something to amuse us." Again he nodded and the petticoat was also removed, this was the first time the girl had been undressed before strangers, but the secret thrill of it was exciting.

"You forget who I am, Baron Latchless. As the Princess of the crown you should not be forcing your attentions on me, also my age should be stopping you." She tried to remember the Queen from the film, how she reacted.

"As Princess of the crown you are just another prize to be claimed, as I am claiming you! As for your age, well, a few years in the towers should make you old enough for the priests! But for the time being you're going to learn the lessons that this chamber can teach you!" The Baron replied, the two women grabbed hold of Melody and took her to the rack where they quickly fastened her to the straps there.

As Melody looked at the two women, the eyes of one looked familiar, Melody smiled at Elizabeth who whispered, "We're taking this a bit deeper than you originally agreed to, remember if you don't think you can take any more just say my name" Melody nodded.

Both women finished tying Melody to the rack and started to turn the wheel which started to stretch the young girl.

"Gently ladies, this young morsel needs to feel the full effects of this, I think it'll be something she'll remember for the rest of her short life with us." The Baron said getting up from his seat. He picked up a candle from a holder and walked to Melody who was just slightly uncomfortable in the grip of the rack.

The Baron looked down at her, leering, she just stared back, "Now my dear, I know you’re comfortable like this but I feel that you're a bit cold dressed like that, so I'm going to warm you up!" And with that he brought the candle into view, Melody could see the flame flickering as he held it aloft 'He isn't going to burn me with that?' she wondered to herself, but he seemed to be gauging the height of the candle, once he was satisfied he tipped the stalk over, allowing the built up wax to fall onto her chest, as the wax splattered she drew in a breath to complain about the heat she realised that it wasn't hot but warm and the splatters cooled as they touched her skin leaving a white fatty deposit over her nipple.

The Baron then took careful aim again and this time it struck her other nipple, the effect on her body was unexpected, she shivered with the sensation which seemed to move from her chest to that place between her legs, giving a warm tingling sensation where she'd never felt before.

The Baron started to cover her chest with the tallow from the candle, starting to bring it closer to her body as more and more covered her, then the two female torturers held candles and they also started to cover her chest.

Finally they finished coating the young girls chest with the wax, they left her stretched on the rack, the fading heat of the wax keeping her warm, she looked up at the other girls swinging in their cages, before she, surprisingly fell asleep.

When she woke up she was back in her dungeon cell, lying on the bed, the wax was now away from her body although she didn't remember anyone removing it, her throat was dry and she felt slightly hungry, looking over at the plate and goblet she saw that there were some sandwiches there and the water looked so inviting, she got up off the bed and walked to the plate. She ate the food and drank the water, she looked at herself, she only had on her panties, she looked at the bucket and its obvious function, she shrugged mentally and slid her last remaining garment down and squatted on the bucket, once finished she looked for paper to wipe herself off, but none was visible so she pulled up her panties and walked back to her bed, where she laid down and slept again.

----

I interrupted her story, "So when I kidnapped you, you thought it was another Ropeville situation." She nodded,

"I thought it was something mum and dad had set up, it was only after the photographs and seeing Rachael and Michael’s names that I suddenly knew that this was different, but then when you were speaking to Elizabeth, I began to get confused."

I hugged her, "I can understand that, but you were really confusing me to begin with, but how did you remember Elizabeth's name after, what, 2 years?"

She smiled at me, "Oh that's simple, mum said I had a photographic memory, I seem to remember everything I've seen or done, and it’s something I've always been able to do!"

Which would also explain why she was able to recite her story.

----

The next day she was rudely awaken by the dungeon door being banged open; the Baron was framed in the doorway.

"Good morning Princess," He said, "Have you changed your mind about convincing your father?"

Melody looked at him, then remembered where she was, "Never, do your worse!"

The Baron smiled, "Oh but I will, indeed I will!  Guards, escort the Princess to the chamber." And he walked off, two guardsmen came into the room, but Melody had gotten out of the bed and was following the Baron down the passage.

She turned to see the two guardsmen rushing to keep up with her, she smiled to herself.

Once in the chamber she notice that the girls in the cages had changed, it was obvious, she thought, they were most probably in their own themed holiday. She stood before the Baron who was seated back in his normal place; he seemed to ponder what to do.

"You are an impossible child; you should be quaking in fear by now!" The Baron said - Melody remained quiet. "I think that you should witness the full extent of this camber's charms, and the best place to do this would be from above."

'I see' thought Melody, 'Now it’s my turn in one of those cages.' However this was not to be, two women came to her side and started to fit leather straps to her wrists and ankles, these had a D-shaped ring on them, a large leather belt was also attached to her waist.

The Baron pointed upwards, "You see those chains that are hanging there," Melody looked and then nodded. The Baron continued, "You will be attached to them, I must warn you that they've been there for some time and I'm not too sure if they'll support your weight," he said in a conspiratorial tone, but then he laughed, "But I'm sure you'll be the first to find out." And he nodded to the two women.

They led Melody to the center of the room and lowered the four main chains, a rope was also lowered down, Melody saw that it was a nylon rope which could take the full weight of the 9 year old girl, she was the manacled to the chains by the D-rings and the rope was tied securely to the belt that she was wearing.

Then the chains were drawn back up, pulling the girl with them, she was glad that she liked gymnastics as the chains pulled her arms back behind her, if she hadn't been supple then this would have caused her great discomfort, she notice that every so often the rope holding onto her belt would tighten allowing her to relax from the position.

She remained suspended for nearly the whole day, watching as older girls were brought into the chamber and either placed on the rack or against the X-frame, at one stage she thought the women torturers were rubbing the girls between their legs, but couldn't really see properly.

At last the Baron called the torturers over and they brought Melody down from her position, once on the ground she found that she couldn't move her arms or legs, even with the help of the belt she was still suffering slightly. The Baron looked at her as she was supported between the two women.

"Tomorrow you will be placed on the whipping cross, and we'll see how you feel after that, unless you reconsider beforehand, you can either convince you father to abdicate or agree to marry me, either of these will stop you torture," He said, and then motioned to the women to take her away.

When they got her to the dungeon they placed her on the bed, she was unable to move, then the door opened again and Elizabeth walked in with her assistant

Elizabeth went to Melody and examined her, the stiffness in her arms and legs, she shook her head. "I've a good mind to stop this now! You shouldn't have been hung there so long!"

Melody tried to get up, but couldn't, "No, please don't, I'm really enjoying this, it makes me feel good inside," She couldn't explain it to Elizabeth, how could she understand the feeling being tied, helpless, generated inside of her, "and anyway the belt helped me, so I knew I wasn't in real danger."

Elizabeth thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, but I'll be closely monitoring you tomorrow, and if I say enough then it ends there. Understand?"

Melody nodded, Elizabeth sighed, "I don't know, why don't you just give in to the Baron?" she asked the girl.

Melody thought for a moment, and then said, "But a real princess wouldn't give up, she'd be waiting for her father to rescue her, that's what I'm hoping for, that the King will charge in on a white horse and rescue me, his daughter. That would be the best thing that could happen!"

Elizabeth smiled when she heard that, but didn't say anything; she then started to massage Melody's arms and legs until the stiffness faded. When she left the girl was fast asleep.
