The truth

“Oh, I’m not… I’m not in school anymore,” Alexa said. “I’m fresh out of college.”

“You’re a college graduate?” The girl snickered. “And you still wear princess panties?”

Alexa’s face fell, looking down as she saw the many faces of Cinderella on display with the blue background. “Uh… w-well it’s laundry day,” she said. “I forgot to do the laundry. This is all I had to wear.”

“Oh… I see…” the girl said. “Do you know who I am?”

Alexa shook her head. “No. I don’t.”

“I’m Patricia. I live just right over there,” Patricia said. “What do you say, you come hang out with us? I have some fun ideas and I’d love for you to come join.”

“Oh, I don’t know,” Alexa said. “I probably should be going home.”

“Oh please, we won’t hurt you,” Patricia laughed. “And we’re all adults here. I’m 19. The girl over there is Beth. She’s 18. So there’s no problems. And my parents are out of town for the week. So I’m in charge of the house.”

“Oh,” Alexa said. “Well, I guess I wouldn’t mind hanging out a little bit.”

“Good, come here,” Patricia said.

Alexa nodded as she followed Patricia as she walked towards the jungle gym where Beth was. Beth was shorter than Patricia, and Alexa realized she was shorter than both of them especially without her sandals which Patricia was carrying. Beth had dyed blue hair that was shaved on one side and long on the other. “Who’s this, Patty?” Beth asked.

“This is Lexi,” Patricia said. “I invited her to come hangout with us. She looked a little lonely.”

Beth seemed to smile a bit as Patricia winked at her. “Oh, right,” Beth said. “Well, I’m sure we can have some fun. Alright, Lexi, you need to pick an escape route. We’re going to try to stop you. You can try going down the slide, the swirl ladder, or down the bridge across the monkey bars. You’re older than us right? So you should be capable of doing so. If you can escape, you win, but if you can’t you lose. You’ll become our captive. Meaning you have to do what we tell you to do for the rest of the day, or at least as long as you’re with us. If you win, though, you’ll get your sundress back.”

Alexa look confused. And then she looked down. She shrieked, surprised as her sundress was gone and in the hands of Patricia. Alexa immediately threw her hands over her underwear and training bra as the girls giggled. “A training bra?” Patricia snickered. “I thought you were older?”

Alexa blushed. “I am!” She cried.

“Well, either way, you have to escape. Or I suppose you can surrender now if you don’t think you can do it,” Beth said.

Alexa contemplated her options. The monkey bars were the easiest to get to as she was closest to them, but that meant turning her back on the girls and also using both her arms to climb. The slide was the farthest away and was being guarded by Beth, but wouldn’t require her to use her arms. The swirl ladder was guarded by Patricia, and would require at least one arm. Alexa gulped.
