Rule 5 - Tobias

FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR FINAL GIRL NEEDS.

“Say cheese!” Neve squealed into my ear as she threw her arm over my shoulder. The four of us hunched over Lumen, bound, gagged, and blindfolded in a chair. Neve’s camera went off with a loud click followed by a blinding flash. She rushed forward to reset the camera. “One more, for the Christmas card. Don’t take off the masks.”

We posed one more time as Lumen whimpered and sobbed in her seat. She’d been restrained at an impressively fast pace. Billy had her in a chair and was tying her up by the time we climbed through the window. Neve and Ruby finished with stuffing a rag in her mouth and tying a black silk scarf around her eyes.

“Perfect. Now, Billy, what did you find out?” Neve let us go, and we stepped away from the shaking girl.

“Uh, she’s a theater nerd who’s still a virgin?” Billy, the loser she’d convinced to join her game, scratched his head. “Do I gotta wear this? She already knows it’s me.” He lifted his matching mask and scowled at his girlfriend.

“Yes. It’s for the aesthetic. Put it back on. Or I’ll make things so much worse for you all,” she snapped. The blackmail she was holding over my head caused me to shut up and do as told.

“Where are you going?” Billy asked as I left the room.

“Let him explore, we need to focus here,” Neve said.

I started through the house, looking at the walls. She’d decorated the walls with generic art from a big box store. Nothing looked personal. It was all decorated as if filling the house was an obligation, and none of it was Lumen.

Was that on purpose? Did she not want people to know who she was, even inside her own home?

I opened every door, peering inside, and seeing all the same. It was a staged home. I wondered then, if this was how she bought the house. My steps were slow as I pretended to be lost and unfamiliar with the layout. Neve had gotten a hold of the floor plan and told me to look at it. I had to hold back a laugh when she handed them to me. I’d seen those months ago, had even memorized them then. But I couldn’t tell her that.

Neve had no clue how easy she was making things for me. She was convinced that she had me wrapped around her finger. She was wrong.

Saving Lumen’s bedroom for last, I finally made it there and went inside, closing the door behind me. Flipping the light switch, I looked around and smiled.

There’s my girl.

Her personality flooded the room. Red bedding, posters of shows on the walls. There was a desk stacked with notebooks in the corner, and clothes on the other side. I inhaled deeply, and my mind went right back to that afternoon last year.

Her perfume was imbedded in my memory. She’d smelled so good.

My cock hardened as I strode to her bed, imagining us on it. I’d thought about that day so much to the point of obsession. I’djerked off to the pictures of us so many times. Now that I was so close to her, I needed to recreate them. And more.

I went to her desk and picked up a notebook. The pages were frayed, and as I flipped through, I saw that she’d written on every single page. I gazed up at the other notebooks. They were all written in, front to back. But it was her words that were unsettling.

7:00am alarm, shower, dress. Black shirt, jeans with rip in knee, matching yellow socks.

8:00am breakfast, one egg, one toast, coffee, cream, one peach.

10:00am Billy, mail. Orange long sleeves, jeans, brown boots. One step on porch, dropped packages, waved, left.

Her entire schedule was listed, day in day out. Every little detail about her interactions with people. Phone calls, Billy, literally everything was written down like a compulsion. But what stuck out was that she hadn’t stepped out her front door in months. I set it down and returned to the living room.

“Find anything good?” Neve asked. “I was just explaining why we’re here. How she ruined my life. How she’s up here, living the rich life, pretending she didn’t lie.”

I stiffened. Neve was waving around a knife. Lumen was shaking, sobbing, and jumping at every word from Neve’s mouth.

“You actually are here just in time for the fun to start. I’ve decided to be a gracious goddess. I can’t let her die a virgin.”

Billy lunged forward, grabbing Lumen’s chest and ripping her shirt open. She screamed as her bra was revealed. I stepped forward and let a low growl escape my throat as I tore his hand away from her. He cocked his head.

“Ruby went back to the car to grab something to have fun with,” Neve said, tugging both of us back. “She’d bought it for us later, but I think we’ll just gift if to Lumen instead.”

The front door burst open, sending another scream out from Lumen’s gagged mouth. Ruby stormed in, stomping the snow off her boots as she came in with a box.

“Here.” She thrust it at her girlfriend. I could only see her eyes, but I could tell she wasn’t happy. “This was expensive.”
