He was still asleep, but that suited Alicia just fine. It allowed her to savour the moment of the weekend that was ahead for the kidnapped ringtail, who she had taken from his home just the evening before and now had tied up in her bedroom, a cloth pad bound over his handkerchief-stuffed maw keeping him drugged during the night.
Mind you, not some any ordinary drug like chloroform, ether or what have you, this was an all-natural recipe made by a good friend of the family, Willow. A sweet relaxing blend of Lavender and Chamomile nicknamed ‘Gaia’s Lullaby’, a name the frisky feline found deliciously ironic considering how she made use of it. Originally intended as a relaxing incense by Willow, Alicia discovered it would outright put her victims to sleep if she made them huff it from a cloth soaked in the mixture of oils and herbs, and has been using it as a safer, much more pleasant alternative to chloroform ever since. An additional bonus also was that, since the victims were put to a more natural sleep, they’d also still feel the sensations of being tied and kidnapped.
Rutger stirred and mumbled into his gag when Alicia brushed through his hair. She’d let the raccoon sleep just a bit longer. After all, he wouldn’t be getting much rest this upcoming weekend, not with his kidnapper having planned a very busy schedule.
