You feel like you're being watched

Upon reaching the first floor below ground, you saw a whole rack of rigging and lights had fallen before the Maleficent set. Cursing to yourself, you jogged up to investigate, and sighed with relief — the rigging fell just a few feet in front of the stairs leading to the set, nothing broken. You glanced up to the set and hesitated. The Maleficent host sat in her throne, with her legs spread. Like, spread WIDE. That’s weird, you thought. She wasn’t like that when you last left her earlier tonight. You approached to see if it was damage from the rigging, and you felt a little queasy. Like you were being watched. Shaking the feeling off, you went up to Maleficent, trying to catch a peak up her dress before checking her over. But as you knelt to take a closer look, the host suddenly moved blinked and looked down at you.

“Ah…” Maleficent grinned, “There you are. I so hoped you were still skulking about at this hour.”

You furrowed your brow. “Power down.”

“Such a demanding man,” she clicked her tongue.

This was starting to unnerve you. She rose from the seat and you leaned back, stumbling on your ass.

“What do we think of that, ladies?”

You got to your feet and reached for your tablet to shut her down and — …wait…‘ladies’?

You heard something fall from above and turned around as Grimhilde, Cruella and the Red Queen dropped from the rigging above, landing in front of you.

“Remember us?” Cruella grinned wickedly.

“I remember him,” the Red Queen dripped with contempt, “He struts about our domain without respect. Never bending the knee, nor standing at attention.”

“Never keeping his hands to himself,” Grimhilde shook her head, “Such a misbehaved little boy.”

“He must be taught a lesson!” The Red Queen proclaimed.

Panic set in and you broke off running between Cruella and the Red Queen’s reaching arms. You descended the short staircase off the set and saw the exact path you took, you could easily slip back out the way you came and—

“Oh no, you don’t!”

“Attack!”

“Seize him!”

The villainesses pounced from the stairs above, Cruella and the Red Queen first tackling you, Grimhilde and Maleficent piling on immediately after. You cried out and struggled, but their chorus of evil laughs drowned you out. They were all over you, Cruella and Red’s bodies pinned you on either side while Grimhilde and Maleficent grappled you from above, you were just no match for them.

“Power down! Hey, lemme go! Lemme gmm—” you were cut off as a cold hand clamped over your mouth.

“Silence!” The Red Queen growled. You weren’t strong enough to break their grips, and there were too many bodies to wriggle free from. In seconds, it was all over. They had you helpless in their clutches.

The villainesses hauled you up, Cruella and the Red Queen’s arms lashed around your torso to pin yours to your sides, while behind you, Grimhilde gripped a handful of your hair and held a dagger to your throat, and Maleficent plied her long hand over your mouth and her other arm snaked around your waist. They held you between them, Maleficent and Cruella sporting cruel smiles while Grimhilde and the Red Queen loomed over you with venomous eyes.

“Well done, ladies,” Maleficent commended, “How did you like our little surprise, young man?”

“Mm! Mm-mm! Mmmmm!” You grunted, pulling in vain as their unexpectedly strong arms held you from every direction.

“Now, now,” Maleficent whispered, “Every level in either direction is deserted at this hour,” she reasoned, “And all the little heroines are locked away and in slumber.” Your heart froze. How the hell did she know about the park and the princess hosts…? “There is no one to hear you.”

“You are all ours,” Grimhilde gloated.

“His disrespect and snooping about can’t be tolerated,” the Red Queen interjected, tightening her grip around you. “He must be punished!”

“Mm! Mm-mm! Mm-mm!” You pleaded through the hand over your mouth.

“Aww, but you were so eager to watch us before,” Cruella cooed insincerely, “Suddenly you want to go?”

“Nonsense,” Maleficent added as she and Grimhilde pulled your head back, forcing you to look up at them. “You simply MUST stay for dinner.”

Grimhilde tilted her head and agreed, “Yeeeeesss…”

“He’d make a lovely centerpiece, don’t you think?” Cruella added.

The four villainesses exchanged knowing looks, then turned you around, opposite from where you came. Grimhilde released your hair and sheathed her blade, then strode around to your front. Maleficent moved her hand quickly, grabbing you by the jaw as Grimhilde stuffed a purple handkerchief into your mouth. Then, in tandem, they lifted you up, Grimhilde grabbing your legs, while Cruella and the Red Queen each clutched one of your wrists then lashed their other arms across your lower back and seized your hips, and Maleficent gripped the back of your neck and thrust her other arm between your shoulders. They all laughed victoriously and carried you off, down another corridor and further downstairs.
