Hide

You bolt from the room, looking for somewhere to hide. Mentally, you run through the list of places big enough to hide you, and settle on the space under the bed. It's a tight fit, but you manage to slide yourself under.

You hear the front door slam open. "Is anyone in here?" calls a taunting voice.

Floorboards creak as she moves through the house, until you see a black leg poke around the doorway. You hold your breath, praying to any of the gods who will listen not to be heard.

"Hmm..." comes the voice from above, a pair of hands coming into view and grasping the underside of the bed. "Why do they always hide..." The bed is lifted straight up, revealing the Arachne staring down at you contemptuously. "... under the bed," she finishes. "Pathetic."

Before you can react, she reaches down and snaps something around your neck. "Do not move. Answer me truthfully. Is anyone else in the house?"

"No."

"Good. Stand up and take off your clothes. Do not speak."

Your arms and legs move to obey the Arachne's order, and soon you stand naked before her{if@ arachneSlaveArousal = false}, shivering in fear{endif}.

She looks you up and down appraisingly. "You will do, I guess. Follow me outside and join your fellow slaves. Do not interfere with any of the **** collars, or the bracelets worn by any Arachne. You will wait while I go through the rest of the houses."

You do so, standing silently in the group of naked villagers.

A few minutes later, each of the Arachne watching the group gives the order to follow them. You find yourself walking along behind the one who found you. She occasionally checks the line of slaves behind her, but never gives you a second look.

You are led to the village hall, where many of the villagers are standing in the middle of the room.

Your captor turns around and gives your group some more commands. "Stand with your fellow slaves in the middle part of the floor. When someone stands on the stage, give them your full attention and listen to what they say. Then you will wait for further instructions."
