But now, have fun with Part 1
Part 1
„Are you sure you wanna do this?“ Gina Blackwater looked at her 11 year old son who currently sat in one of her kitchen chairs, his palm placed on the armrests. He simply nodded, smiling at her. „Alright, it‘s your choice.“ She grabbed the roll of black duct tape lying on the kitchen table and started wrapping it around her son‘s arms, tying them to the armrests.
For most people this would probably have been an extremely weird situation, but after all they had endured, it felt pretty normal. They had been kidnapped during a bank robbery, her husband got exposed as a criminal… yes, especially the latter had changed her life quite drastically. At first they tried to live with it, but the hatred others showed towards them became unbearable, especially for Austin. Before this whole situation he had been a pretty popular kid at his school, but after his dad was the number one target of the whole town, he got bullied a lot. And the teachers didn’t do anything. Most of them also got betrayed by Tyson so they felt like he deserved it. Even though Austin had done nothing wrong. Neither him nor Gina had known about what Tyson had done.
But still, the hatred was there. They could feel it all the time, even when they were just having a walk around the block, people stared at them with this… angry, disgusted, abhorrent stare.
In the end, they changed their family name back to Gina‘s original name, Blackwater and left Colorado. Now they were living in Provo, more than 350 miles away from their former home. They lived here for half a year now. Just living their lives in a normal, suburban area. Nobody here knew that they were the family of one of Colorado‘s most notorious convicted criminals.
„Mom? Are you okay? are you still thinking about dad?“ Her son‘s words suddenly pulled her back to reality. She sighed. „Yes, honey… yes I was“ she smiled weakly. Her son was just smiling back at her. He was such an innocent boy. He had turned 11 three weeks ago. All he had wished for were 2 things. Seeing his original home one last time and that his mother would start to tie him up. They had talked about Theater wish for a pretty long time until they came to an agreement. Since they both somewhat enjoyed being tied up back when they were kidnapped, Gina had agreed to tie him up whenever he wanted. She would then tie herself up too so that they could enjoy this ”bonding time“ together. And today was the first day where Austin had asked her.
He kept smiling at her while she bent down and tied his ankles to the chair feet with more tape. She realized once again how much he had grown. His feet were now close to touching the ground. Half a year ago, they were still dangling a few inches above the ground whenever he sat on a chair. They had both changed a lot, but that happens over time.
She wrapped more time around his torso, tying his upper body to the back of the chair. Then, she ripped off a piece of tape. „You still remember the safe word?“ He rolled his eyes. „Yes mom, I do, don’t worry.“ She looked him in the eyes. „Tell me, I wanna be sure.“ He really seemed to be a bit annoyed, but he sighed and then smiled at her. „Marmelade, I got it, don’t worry.“ Gina nodded, and then smoothed the tape down over his mouth with a smile. And she could see that under the tape, Austin was smiling back at her.
