A rescuer?

Scilla zips through the undergrowth, snow white wings beating hard as she weaved through the undergrowth. The muggy air was making it difficult and the foulness surrounding this area was only making the situation worse for the winter faerie. The air was closing in on her, thick and hot and humid causing rivulets of ice cold sweat ran down her pale flesh.

She cursed to herself and the warm spring weather, she had hoped that whatever had been tainting the area could have been foisted off onto the stupid summer fae but they seemed to have just made the situation worse!

Snapdragon and Pansy had hoped they would have had more time but since the summer fairies had awoken the problems all over the forest had exploded out of control. Snapdragon had instructed Scilla to round up anyone summer fae they could find and get them away from the tainted areas before it spirals completely.

The problem with that was that the corruption seemed to be cropping up all over the place!

The Sirens at the brook, The dark wisps at the Bright Clearing and those ogres at the base of the Tallest Trees.

Not to mention this giant whose been poaching the summer fae for some nefarious purpose the last few weeks!

"Where was it all coming from?"

Scilla frowned in thought and for not for the first time finding herself glad she wasn't in charge of sorting this whole mess out.

She wiped her brow as she flew, longing for a nice cool petal to wait out the summ-

She stops sharply and cocks her head, straining her ears.

She heard something...She was sure of it.

She zips low to the forest floor, trying to focus herself even as her damp dress clung to her skin.

"It's not too bad here..." The winter fae thinks to herself.

"At least the worst of the taint here seems to be confined to that structure...Unlike the clearing..." She shudders before snapping back to the present just in time to hear a distressed moan emanate from the hollow of a rotten tree.

Her first instinct was to bolt but Snapdragon's words orders echoed in her mind. If there was someone in trouble in there she owed it to them to get them back to The High Pine

Swallowing, Scilla moves cautiously towards the stump, eyes scanning back and forth for lurking dangers. She scrambles

A lithe green woman sat against the wall of the hollow.

Scilla almost mistook her for an exceptionally green skinned summer faerie until she saw the lack of wings.

It was surprising that she noticed that before she noticed the fact the slim girl was buck ass naked and bound tight to the wall by deep green vines.

They held her in what looked to Scilla to be an incredibly uncomfortable position and one that she herself would never be able to manage even with hours of stretching and limbering up.

Her arms were spread out, elbows as far as they could get from her body while her hands were bound behind her head, the nature of the pose thrusting her small but perky breasts out in front of her.

Breasts which were being pressed together by a pair of vines either side of them, running down a trim stomach, forming a V that met between her legs, cinching tight and rubbing against the girls quim whenever she moved. The same long legs were spread in a perfect 180 degrees, displaying her plump violet pussy for anyone entering the hollow to see.

Scilla stood, nonplussed as she took in the strange sight before a surprised moan from the girl as she noticed the winter faerie snapped Scilla out of her trance.

_“This area must be more corrupted than we thought!” _She thought and fought against the hollow’s seeping magic telling her how pleasant it would be to run her fingers across that green smooth skin or through that soft mossy hair.

She felt herself flush as she caught herself staring again at the bound and she shook herself and tried to banish the lewd thoughts.

“Why is it so hot? Fucking summer-I mean…Freaking summer…” She really had to get out of here before she lost herself completely...but the girl…

The girl seemed not to have noticed Scilla’s roving eye and instead let out a panicked squeal and jerked against her bonds, immediately letting out a pleasurable groan as her movements only forced her the vine pressed to her pussy to ride deeper into the slit.

It was then that she saw that another vine was stretched across the prisoners’ mouth, a bright succulent berry sprouting in between her lips preventing the girl from speaking around the ball gag.

Scilla moved forward slowly, hands out by her sides in a non-threatening manner and spoke softly, as if to a frightened animal.

“Easy…Easy…I’m not going to hurt you…”

Greenie writhed again and Scilla had to make an effort to ignore how pleasant that made the trim girls body look and instead looked into her deep brown eyes.

Only then did she notice the pointed nod’s the girls attempting to make towards the floor of the hollow.

Following her eye, she saw the problem…A multitude of fine vines were hanging, suspended a hairs width off the floor, connected to a series of thicker vines running across the floor and connecting to a pulsing cluster above the captive.

As Scilla had been walking closer she’d been trampling all over them, even now her foot was touching one. As she slowly withdrew, it quivered sending waves across the line and into the cluster which in turn glowed and sent ripples down to the binding vines.

They slid across the girl’s skin, prompting shivers and gasps while the one in her pussy tightened again, riding up savagely, the purple lips to bulge either side of it.

A stream of sparkling sap leaked out, the majority being absorbed by the vine, causing the cluster to pulse in a way Scilla could only describe as content.

A small trickle however leaked upon the floor and Scilla watched amazed as the mossy ground strobed with vibrancy, the rot of the hollow tree consumed by blossoming growths and healthy bark.

She took another look around the inside of the rotting tree and noticed for the first time that it was nowhere as bad as the outside indicated, in fact, extending her senses a little she found out that the dying tree was well on the way to recovery due to this little well spring.

The girl moaned again, and she filed that thought away for another time as she assessed her situation.

Her first instinct was to extend her wings but as she prepped a warning noise from the girl checked her. Glancing up she noticed yet another group of vines, different from the others. These vines were a dark green, pulsing with red magic and nasty looking barbs. They also seemed to be leaning towards her.

Hungrily.

She thought about taking a step back but stopped herself suddenly as a grim thought crossed her mind. As carefully as she could, with her feet perfectly still she turned and saw the path she had used covered with a greater abundance of sensor vines than in front of her.

“Someone set this up well…If I backtrack it’ll screw her worse than if I go forward…Although that’s not saying much…and I can’t go up either or I’ll be the one getting screwed!”

“Damn…” She said shortly then winced at her own profanity. Looking back towards the bound woman and frowned. Through the haze of lust, the girl gave Scilla a look full of remorse and guilt and made a sad sound through her gag.

“Hey! None of that!” She said sharply, more sharply than she had intended, and she swallowed as the girl cringed…and let out a soft aroused moan?

“What the fuc-flower petals? Did…Did she just get off on that?” The embarrassed blush seemed to confirm it, the skin around her face, neck and breasts turning a faint purple in a way that appealed very much to a naughty part of Scilla’s imagination.

“I wonder if she goes darker the closer she is…I wonder if she’ll end up looking like a blackcurrant if I make her c-Stop!”

She closed her eyes, breathing deep and tried to think of something less sexy. It didn’t help that many things in her life were sexy.

All her friends.

Many of the other fae.

Herself.

After a few moments she marshalled herself and breathed out deeply and forced herself to speak calmly.

“I’m sorry I snapped, but I want you to know I don’t blame you for this, I should have read the situation before playing headstrong hero and rushing in. Just give me a moment and I’ll figure this out.” She grimaced and made a puzzled noise.

“What’s the point of all this?” She said as she gestured around, “This all seems incredibly elabote just to keep someone jailed…I mean…What’s stopping me from just striding over there and cutting you out” At a terror filled look from the girl she hastened to add “I mean I’m not going to! But…I mean you’ll…Uh…You know…a few times but I’ll still free you…So what’s the point of all the rigamarole? Seems a lousy way to protect a treasure…”

The girl just stared at her intently, urging her to continue the line of thought. Scilla eyes narrowed, thinking hard then her jaw clenched, and she slowly tensed.

“Unless…You’re not treasure…Unless this whole thing isn't for you...”

The girl just nodded, glumly.

"You're bait...and this is a trap isn't it?"
