Her parents let Natalie wake up on her own to discover she is naked

( Chapter originally made by NatchMuziek in www.writing.com )

Natalie woke up, saw that she was completely naked, and freaked out. She knew she was wearing clothes when she went to bed, so why did she wake up stark naked? She got up and checked her closet, and remembered that it was emptied out last night.

Natalie panicked.

"No no no no no no NO" she stammered to herself. Why was this happening to her? Was this some sort of prank by her 18 year old brother Luke? Or someone else?

Suddenly, Natalie realized that this whole situation sounded somewhat familiar. A year or so ago, her friend Hannah showed her a story about some girl who was **** to go naked because her parents took all of her clothes away. Hannah thought it was funny, but Natalie thought it was kind of stupid. Who would believe that nonsense?

But the whole waking up naked, no clothes in the closet, etc. was just like what happened to the poor girl in the story. Natalie then started piecing together the logic behind this possibility. If she was being punished, it's likely that her parents knew she was out late. And when she didn't call at midnight there was a good chance they could have taken everything all of her clothes while she was out. Then when she came home, they could have waited until she fell asleep to take the only clothes she had left: the ones she was wearing.

Horror overcome Natalie as she started believing more and more that this was almost definitely the reason why this was happening. She was being punished for breaking curfew, drinking, not calling... and her punishment was nudity! She almost started crying right then and there. Natalie started pacing her room for a while until she heard her mother call out for breakfast.

"Natalie! Breakfast!" Helen shouted from the kitchen.

Oh god. What was she going to do? How could she join her family wearing nothing but what she entered this world in? Natalie thought about running away, but what good would that do? She's naked! Where would she go?
