Have you ever had a feeling that something is out of place? You can’t quite tell what exactly, but there’s this thing whispering to your ear that there’s something wrong…
Vera had just had that feeling after entering her room. She had been out the whole morning doing chores and had just arrived home. She had left the groceries in the kitchen and then went to her room to change her clothes into something more comfortable. But it had been at that moment that she had the feeling.
“Lapis? Have you arrived home earlier?” Vera quickly positioned herself next to the wall and started walking around the house, checking every room. She knew Lapis would not be here until late night, but she didn’t want to startle any possible intruders. If there were any.
She navigated through the house, checking every room, but found nothing that gave her that feeling of something being wrong or out of place. She shrugged and dismissed it as some small paranoia from her days as an agent. Some habits never die, no matter how much you try to bury or forget your past. Or so she thought. When she entered her room again she found a small card on her bed with a kiss mark on it next to the word ‘Almost ;)’.
“What in the…” Vera quickly positioned herself next to the wall, facing both the wall and the window in case she had to escape. Who had left that there? Was she being spied on? No, she had searched for mics before. Someone had to be coming for her. She wasn’t coming for Lapis because the note had been left on her room. Was it someone from her past? Was it finally catching up to her? “Who is there?” She demanded to know.
But there was no answer.
Just silence.
“I’m warning you! Show yourself and I will be merciful!” But there was no answer. Vera moved to the door and opened it a bit. She looked outside. There seemed to be no one out there either.
“I don’t need your mercy.” A feminine voice whispered right next to her ear.
Suddenly, Vera found herself in a chokehold. She could not see who was attacking her, but she had to be very good to have been able to get so close to her without her noticing. How had she even got there? Vera tried to struggle, elbowing her as she could and trying to kick her. It seemed to have an effect on her assailant, but it wasn’t being enough and she started feeling her consciousness slip away until she couldn’t resist anymore and lost consciousness.
O-O-O
“Wh-where am I?” Vera wondered as she woke up. She tried to move, but found her arms tied up and immobilized to some kind of armholder with straps that sprouted at each side of the chair she was sitting in. She also found her feet trapped in a set of holes that she quickly recognized as a set of stocks. She was wearing a blindfold as well so all those assumptions were based on her experience and previous knowledge.
“You’re on your own basement.” The female voice from earlier said. “Don’t you recognize your own set of stocks?” She asked her. Now it all made sense. Vera had got this stocks tickleabuse style made for Lapis as a present for her streaming anniversary. What an irony she would be the first one to give it a try.
“What do you want?” She asked, trying to curl her toes. She realized then that she had been fully toetied as well.
“An exchange. Information.” She was answered.
“I’m not talking!” Vera was defiant. She would not speak. Or at least she planned on not doing so.
“Interesting…” The voice giggled.
Suddenly, Vera felt a few sharp nails on every foot exploring the curves of her beautiful feet, testing the sensitivity of her soles, tasting the softness of her skin. She tried to stay impassible to that, but the corners of her mouth started jumping to that teasing, drawing an ephemeral smile on her face that disappeared as quickly as it reappeared. Whoever was tickling her was good. Her feet were being explored with the precision of an expert.
“Funny.” The voice suddenly said, stopping with that teasing.
“What is funny?” Vera asked, finally able to take a small breather from the teasing.
“Sht.” Whoever that was she shushed her. “You said you were not talking. So just stay silent unless you’re laughing or something.”
“Hey, you’re not ordeHEHERIHIHING!” Vera suddenly had her arches attacked by nails spidering all over them. The surprise made her lose her composure and she started laughing hard.
“Yeah, that’s better.”
“Yohohou wohohon’t gehehet anythihing frohohom mehehehe!” She tried to stay defiant.
“Oh, on the contrary. By the way, did you know that these precious arches of yours are your worst tickle spot? When I was teasing you earlier they were the most reactive place.” The voice explained.
Vera didn’t want to believe that she was right, but it was true that she was laughing helplessly as that spot of hers was being exploited. In fact, after a few minutes passed her tickler moved to other spots on her feet and she was able to take it better. Not laughing as much and having more control over herself than earlier.
“You are so cute when you’re being tickled.”
“Shuhuhut uhuhup!” Vera complained as the nails moved back to her arches. “Nohoho! Nohohot thehere!” She exclaimed.
“I knew I was right. Coochie coochie coo~” The voice sang to tease her even further.
“Nononononono!” Vera negated with her head, thrashing in her sit as she tried to deny the tickling any power over her. But the act only lasted for a few seconds before the overwhelming sensations took over again. “I ahaham nohohot tahahalkihihing!” She yelled out, more as a reminder to herself than something for her tickler.
“Oh, I know.” The voice giggled again as the tickling came to a halt. “Don’t you worry about that. I’ll get what I want in the end. Now, now. I’ll give you the chance to discover who I am. I will tickle you. Just not laugh for a full minute and I will remove the blindfold.
Vera considered the offer. It seemed she didn’t have anything to lose by saying yes to that. But it was… weird. What kind of interrogation tactics were those? “Okay.” She answered steeling herself and her resolve.
Vera stood silent under the darkness of the blindfold. Her feet were fully toetied, she knew she was going to be tickled soon, but she didn’t know when. She breathed in. She breathed out. Preparing herself. One hairbrush was placed in the middle of her left arch and Vera’s eyes opened wide under the blindfold.
“Are you ready?” The voice asked her.
But Vera didn’t reply. Instead, she nodded as she prepared herself for the worst. She knew very well that hairbrushes were deadly weapons when wielded against ticklish feet. And she knew she wasn’t an exception to that rule.
“Three…” The voice said and Vera closed her fists. “Two…” Vera scrunched her toes as much as the toeties allowed her to. “One…” She bit her lower lip to not laugh…
And never before had a steel resolve been melted so fast. It didn’t even take a second from the moment the hairbrush started moving to Vera going berserk with laughter. “PFRHAHAHAHAHA!” She bursted in laughter, lunging forward as much as the bindings allowed her in an attempt to reach her feet and protect them. “NAHAHAHA! FUHUHUCK!”
“It seems someone’s a little ticklish~” The voice sang as she mercilessly brushed against Vera’s defenseless feet.
“I’M NOHOHOT GIHIHIVIHIHING UHUHUP!” Vera yelled to her “I’M NOHOHOT TEHEHELLIHIHING YOHOHOU ANYTHIHIHING!” She screamed from as close as she could. Suddenly, another brush appeared, attacking the arch of her other foot and Vera backed down, leaning on the backrest of the stocks and laughing herself up. “NOHOHOT ANOHOHOTHER ONE!!” She yelled, unable to take that.
“This is too easy.” The voice replied in a teasing tone. “I expected some more fight from you.”
Vera knew that whoever that was she was only trying to get under her skin… but it was working! “SHUT UHUHUP! SHUT UHUHUP!” She yelled at her tickler. “NOHOHO! HAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!”
“Make me. Oh wait, you can’t.” The voice teased her. “How about you laugh a bit more for me?”
“NOHOHOHO!”
“Just stop then. It’s as easy as that.”
“SHUHUHUT UHUHUP!” Vera demanded as she tried frantically to break the bonds, to escape from there, to get away from those hairbrushes. But the stocks were too good at their job, so she was forced to sit down and bear it.
“I don’t think I will.” The voice giggled.
The tickling went on for a good, always accompanied by verbal teasing. Eventually, the ler decided it was time to give Vera a breather, moment in which she also removed the woman’s blindfold.
Vera watched her tickler for the first time… in her entire life. Who was she? She was a twenty something year old girl with white hair and a few red and blue highlights. She was wearing a blue jacket over a white t-shirt and blue shorts.
“Who… who are you?” Vera panted.
“Aurelia. And I’ve come here for information.” She replied.
“I will… give you… none.” Vera replied, still trying to catch her breath.
“Oh, no, no. I am the one who has information here. The payment was the tickling.”
“Excuse me… what?” Vera was caught off guard there.
Aurelia picked a few pictures of Vera and the place she and Lapis were living in and showed them to her.
“I got this from a secret agent. I was curious about who this beautiful girl was so I came here.” She explained, pointing to Vera’s photo. “And why they had interest in you, of course.”
“And who… was this… agent?”
“Oh, no, no, no. The payment for the information is in tickles. You will have to earn this information through tickle games.”
Vera’s eyes opened wide. “Wait, you don’t mean.”
“Oh yes, I totally mean it.” Aurelia replied, starting to poke and tease her armpit and sides.
“Ngh, stop! Hey!” Vera jumped in her seat.
“Are you interested in the information or not?”
Vera wanted to say no and get over with that… but she knew she had to get that info. She had to know who was behind her. “O-okay! Yes! But stop!”
“Yay!” Aurelia replied, moving back in front of Vera’s feet. She grabbed the two hairbrushes again and Vera sighed at the sight of that.
“Is that really necessary?”
“Of course.” Aurelia sang, brushing her feet once and getting a big reaction from her. “Now, now. How about this game. Do not beg for thirty minutes and I’ll tell you everything you want to know. Fail to do so and… welp, we’ll see what is the next game I come up with.”
“I hate you.” Vera sighed, reading herself for round two of those brushes.
Soon after, Vera was laughing like a madwoman for her tickler’s joy and fun.
