Chapter Three
Katie and her friends arrived at the party and it was booming. She could smell the booze the instant she entered the house. She didn’t have as many people looking at her as she expected given how great she looked but the right person did, Jason the fullback of the school’s First XV ruby team. He got up from the table he was leaning against (talking to another girl) grabbed another can of beer along the way and handed it to her as he put his arm over her shoulders.
“Hey, good to see you could come.”
“I’ve been looking for a good party to let my hair down.”
“Well I’ll make sure you have a good time!”
With that he chugged down the rest of his beer and disappeared back to the drinks table to get two more. While he was off talking to goodness knows who Katie scoped out who was at the party. There were a lot there, the room was packed and she knew there would certainly be more in the other rooms. In the thick of the crowd she saw a tall lady walking through the room. She had long bright red finger nails, almost pure white skin and dark makeup. She wore a black tailored suit and high heeled boots. In her hand was a leash leading to a mostly naked man in an incredibly small black leather corset, dog collar and leather studded straps around his thighs and ankles.
Katie whispered to her friend “who’s that?”
“Oh that’s Veronica and her bitch Stephen. She’s 22 and the one who scored all the beer for us. Some say she’s here because she wants to feel younger but I think she just wants to show off Stephen’s new waistline.”
“How small do you think his waist is?”
“I don’t know, some say it’s 22”, others say its 19”. I’d be more inclined to say the latter rather than the former.”
Katie had nothing but disdain for the obviously feeble Stephen. He was just like her brother. Weak, immature, unworthy of decent treatment. She stayed a safe distance away from Veronica and Stephen most of the night downing the beers Jason gave until eventually she lost all her inhibitions and strode up to the strange pair.
“You’re such a pathetic sissy letting this attention seeker rope you up in this getup. She’s going to cut you in half before you have the sense to leave you pansy!”
Veronica looked the pathetic girl up and down before responding for her pet, “Hmm is that so? You think you know your stuff when it comes to pathetic men letting women have their way?”
“Yes that’s right! My brother has been reduced to a poopy diaper wearing baby because he didn’t have the guts to fight back.”
Veronica stood their looking at Katie as if pondering what she had said for quite a while. In that time Katie had drunk a can of beer Stephen had given her. “Stephen, do you think we should show Katie the truth to your part in this?” Before Stephen had a chance to respond Veronica lead him outside where oddly no one was in sight. Katie followed her into the darkness eager to tell more of what she knew.
Katie stood there expectantly waiting for Veronica to tell her she was correct. Instead in the darkness Veronica reached out, with a pocket knife hidden in her hand, to touch Katie’s brand new top.
“That’s such a pretty top, it would be a shame for anything to happen to it,” she gently said as she suddenly cut and ripped the top off Katie’s naked body. Katie gasped as she reached up to cover her chest. In that moment Veronica ripped the skirt off and cut it to shreds.
Katie was in shock, shaking with the cold and unsure what to do next. In the silence Veronica threw a nearby bucket of water at Katie then turned back to Stephen and said “Stephen darling, pass me your spare collar and lead.” Stephen carefully bent over at his hips stiffly and unbuckled one of the straps around his upper thighs. He then teetered further carefully and unwound one of the straps around his ankles. Once handing the collar and leash to Veronica he stood behind her. Katie was crying quietly to herself as Veronica passed the collar around her neck buckling it so the D ring would be at the front. Veronica clipped the lead to the front of the collar and then passed the end of the lead under her boot. With the lead in this position Veronica could pull it back and Katie’s neck would be pulled downwards until finally she got the idea and lay on the concrete. Katie shivered as Veronica tied the lead to a loop in the concrete so she would only have a couple of inches of slack between her neck and the concrete. Veronica then cut the rest of her clothing and shoes off her threw them about the back yard.
Katie could only lie there quietly sobbing curled up in a ball around the loop in the concrete. Cold, wet and now sober she could only wait for someone to come out from the party and find her. “Where had I gone wrong? Was Jason in on this? How could I have let this happen? What will my Mum say?” She wondered to herself.
