Double trouble: for Daphne and Nancy Nancy Davis had just finished her Badminton match, she showered, changed, and cycled home. As she rode home in her blue tracksuit, with her long ponytail wafting in the breeze, her phone rang. Nancy stopped, leaned her bike up against a tree, and answered the call.# It was her old friend Daphne Blake. ''Hi Daphne, whats up'' said an excited Nancy. ''Hey Nancy'', said Daphne, ''You got a free weekend, if so, perhaps you would like to come with me, up to Preston Manor, apparently, there has been something strange going on up there''. Nancy couldn't resist, ''Sure I'll come with you'' she squealed,'' It should be exciting''. Daphne laughed down the phone, ''Ok then, I'll pick you up tomorrow, about 9.30. Nancy agreed, then got back on her bike, and made her way home. She told her mother that she was going away with Daphne for the weekend. Her mother was pleased, she knew Daphne well, and was glad that Nancy had a chance to get away for a while, as she had been working hard on her exams for quite some time. Nancy went up to her room, she soon started to pick what clothes to take, then she went on her computer, to find out all she could about Preston Manor. She soon found out that the Manor had changed hands recently, and that the new owners were having a tough time, a lot of the old staff had left, and rumours that the place had a curse on it, had stopped people going there. Nancy soon had her bags packed, she was really looking forward to her weekend away with Daphne. The next morning soon came, and Daphne came round and picked up Nancy.# Nancy's mother waved them off, and as usual, told them to keep out of trouble, although she knew that they would most probably find it.# As they were driving along, Daphne was filling in Nancy, about the latest news from Preston Manor................................................................... # The girls had about a three hour drive ahead of them. They had got about half way there, when Daphne pulled over at a roadside diner. They went inside, sat down and ordered some food. When the waitress brought them their order, she asked them where they were going.# ''Up to Preston Manor'' Daphne said ''They say its nice up there''. The waitress told them that her friend had worked at the Manor, but had recently left, she said the new owners were a little weird. ''What do you mean by weird'' ? asked Nancy. ''I'm not sure'' said the waitress, but my friend said they were real creepy''. The girls ate their food, paid their bill, and set off once again, ''I can't wait to meet these creepy people'' laughed Nancy. Soon they arrived at the Manor, it was a large old building, set in spacious grounds, they drove into the car park, picked up their bags, and went inside. They went up to the Reception desk, there was a blonde girl who dealt with them. ''Names'' she barked at Nancy and Daphne. Daphne gave their names. ''Room 6'' barked the girl again, as she handed over a key to Nancy. They were just about to go to their room, when the girl shouted again, '' You may use all the facilities, Gym, Indoor Pool, Tennis Courts, and don't be late for your meals, ok'' The girls nodded, smiled at each other and headed to their room. Meanwhile in a cellar below the Manor, a young girl was tied to a table, her feet and hands were restrained with leather cuffs, and she had a black ball-gag firmly tied in her mouth. As she struggled, and moaned through her gag, a woman and a man stood over her.# The woman was Davina Johnson, she was 50 years old, the man was her husband Mike. Mike went right up towards the struggling girl. He looked down at her pathetic efforts to get free, then he pulled out a syringe. He held it in front of her eyes, laughed, then began to inject something into her arm. Mmmmmmmmpppppppphhhhh ! moaned the girl, as the needle went into her flesh. ''This will teach you not to snoop in future'' said a grinning Davina. It took only a few seconds, then the bound girl was in a deep sleep. ''We'll move her tonight'' said Mike. Davina nodded, and they left the cellar.......................................... # Daphne and Nancy sat in their room. It was a big room, with a good view over the Manor's gardens. They decided to change for dinner, Daphne put on a blue dress, whilst Nancy, decided to wear a white blouse, and a short black skirt. They had only just changed into their clothes, when a loud bell rang. ''I guess that means dinner is ready'' laughed Daphne. The two of them went downstairs to the Dining Room. There were a few other guests there, mainly older people. They sat at their table, and soon dinner was served. The waitress who brought their meals, was the same blonde girl, who had checked them in on arriving. She gave the girls, what can only be described, as a surly look. After dinner, the girls decided to go for a walk in the gardens. As they were ambling along, they saw Davina, and Mike, carrying the drugged young girl out to a car, they watched as it drove off.# ''I wonder what that was all about'' squealed Nancy. ''Strange for sure'' Daphne replied. They went back into the Manor, where they met and old couple, who had stayed there before. Nancy said they had seen a man and a woman outside, she didn't mention the young girl. The old couple said that was Davina and Mike, the new owners of the Manor. Nancy needed to find out more, she heard there was a library in the Manor, so she decided to go there next. Daphne was having none of it, she was going to try out the indoor pool, no matter what. The girls went their seperate ways. In the library Nancy had found several books about the history of the Manor, and was reading them keenly. Unaware to her , she was being watched, Mike and Davina had returned, and they were watching Nancy, from behind a secret panel in the library. ''She's just want we want'' purred Davina. ''Yes she''ll be perfect for our needs'' answered Mike. ''What about her friend'' ? muttered Davina. ''I got plans for her too'' smiked Mike. Meanwhile at the indoor pool Daphne was taking a dip. her blue swimming costume was a nice tight fit, and it showed off her finely trimmed body. When she had finished her swim, she got out of the water, just as she was reaching for her towel, all the lights went out, and she was plunged into darkness............................................ # # Daphne tried to adjust her eyes to the darkness, luckily the skylights in the the roof, were letting in a little light. She managed to find her towel, which she wrapped around herself.# She put her hands on the wall, and guided herself along till she came to the door. She pushed it open, and went out into the passage.# As she did, she was grabbed from behind, a gloved hand clamped across her mouth, she struggled, and kicked out. As she did, her towel fell to the floor, but she could not get free, from whoever was holding her. Then she felt someone else, grab her ankles, and she soon was being carried away. A few minutes later she found herself, lying face down on the floor of what looked like a dimly lit small storeroom. Two people were binding her, one was tying her ankles, and legs, the other was binding her wrists and arms. She was still wet from being in the pool, and her swimsuit was sticking very tightly to her body. She couldn't see who was tying her, as she was face down, but she could tell by the touch of their hands, that one was male, the other female. Then a man spoke, ''Best gag her now, don't want her making a scene''. Before Daphne could react, a knotted cloth, was tied tightly around her mouth, followed by several layers of duct tape. ''There that should hold her'' said a woman's voice, then she and the man left, and slammed the door shut. Daphne lay there for a few seconds, she tested her bonds, whoever had tied her, had done a good job. She tried to scream, but only managed a soft muffled moan, through her tightly put on gag. she struggled some more, but to no avail, she was well and truly caught. Back in the library completely oblivious to Daphne's predicament, Nancy was still reading about the history of the Manor, when Davina walked in. She introduced herself to Nancy, and offered to give Nancy a tour of the Manor, it was an offer Nancy just couldn't refuse, so she walked off with Davina..................................................................... # Whilst poor Daphne lay bound and gagged, and struggling in the store room, Nancy was being given a guided tour of the Manor. There seemed to be lots of corridors, and rooms in the Manor, Nancy was not sure where she was. Then Davina took her into a study, as Nancy walked through the door, a chloroformed soaked cloth was forced over her nose and mouth, within seconds, Nancy slumped to the floor. Mike looked down at Nancy, and smiled, ''Right Davina'' he said, ''Lets get this girl to the lab''. The two of them carried Nancy down to a secret room, where there was a lot of strange equipment. They lay her on a table, she was measured, weighed, and a plastic cast was taken of her face. Then they carried the still out cold Nancy, into another room, and lay her on the couch. While she was lying there, Mike and Davina went back to the lab, and were working feverishly on their evil project. Mike soon had all his weird gadgets and machines, up and running, and as Davina watched, a life size duplicate model of Nancy was created. Mike took the model out of the machine, and began to programme it. While he was doing that, Davina went to check on Nancy, who was just waking up. ''Are you alright honey'' asked Davina. ''I think I am'' muttered Nancy, ''What happened'' ? ''I'm afraid, as we were taking our tour, you passed out'' said a smiling Davina, ''You'd best rest here for a while''. ''But what about Daphne, she'll be worried about me'' groaned Nancy. ''Don't worry about that honey'' we'll make sure she gets to know you are ok'' Davina left Nancy resting on the couch, and returned to the lab. Mike's model of Nancy was fully operational.# Davina suggested he send it to go to Daphne, it would be a good test. Mike told the model to go to the store room, by the indoor pool, and find Daphne. As Daphne lay groaning and struggling on the floor, the store room door opened............................................ # Daphne rolled over on the floor as the door opened. She looked up, and to her relief saw Nancy standing there. Mmmmmmmmpppppph ! moaned Daphne through her gag. The duplicate Nancy bent down and untied Daphne. Daphne rubbed her wrists as they were sore from being tied. ''I'd love to get revenge on the people who did this to me'' squealed Daphne, I have a feeling it could be that bitch Davina''. ''I think you should rest now'' said the duplicate Nancy. ''Not a bad idea at all'' said Daphne. The two of them then went to their room. Daphne undressed to her underwear, then lay on the bed.# ''I'll leave you on your own to get some rest'' said the duplicate Nancy, and as Daphne nodded at her, she left the room. Out in the corridor Davina was waiting for her '' You have done well darling, now you must come with me, my husband needs to give you some more information''. Meanwhile the real Nancy was just waking up, she left the room she was in, and wandered back to the library. The books she had been reading, about the history of the Manor, had gone. ''Thats strange'' Nancy said to herself. As she was leaving the library, Davina came in. ''Oh, I'm glad you are feeling better'' she said to Nancy. ''Yea, I think I'm ok now'' answered Nancy, ''Think I''ll take a walk outside''. Back in the Lab, Mike had just finished programming the duplicate Nancy. Then Davina came in. ''All done, Mike'' ? ''Yep, this beauty is ready to go'' he said proudly. I think those two girls, Nancy and Daphne could be trouble'' sneered Davina. I think you could be right'' snapped Mike, We'll deal with them as soon as we can''. As Daphne lay on her bed in her underwear, the door slowly opened, and a figure, came up alongside the bed................................................................. # As Daphne lay there, a hand touched her shoulder. Daphne jumped up with a start, then screamed. Then she looked up, and saw Nancy. ''Phew, you gave me quite a scare for a second or two'' gulped Daphne. ''Sorry' I didn't mean to scare you, just wanted to wake you'' replied Nancy. ''After dinner tonight, I think we ought to have a snoop around, I'm sure Mike and Davina, are up to no good''. From what I have found out about them they don't seem to settle in one place for long, but they always appear to have loads of money to buy a new business''. said Nancy. ''You could be right'' squealed Daphne, I'm sure it was them who tied me up earlier, by the way thanks for untying me''. ''I don't remember that'' said a surprised Nancy. According to Davina, I passed out for a while, and then rested, so it couldn't have been me that rescued you''. Daphne looked surprised, and said, ''It was you, it was you, I'm sure''. ''Lets not worry about that now'' said Nancy lets go down for dinner''. The two of them changed, and went down, and ate their dinner. After the meal, the girls split up. Nancy went back to the library, to look for more clues. Daphne meanwhile, went for a walk in the grounds. A few minutes later, as Daphne was passing the old study, she glanced in through the window, she was startled to see Nancy standing in there. Without hesitation, she entered the Manor, and went straight for the old study door. She stood outside for a second or two, she could hear voices inside. Not thinking about her safety, Daphne barged in through the door, there was Davina and Nancy standing there. Nancy was holding a bag which seemed to be stuffed with money. ''Nancy, how could you'' yelled Daphne. Davina laughed, she held hold of Nancy's hand, ''She's a good likeness, dont you think''. Daphne stood there speechless, then said, ''You mean this is a fake Nancy'' ? ''Got it in one dear, now come with me'' Davina said, grabbing hold of Daphne's arm. Daphne attempted to free herself, however Davina kept her arm tight while using her other hand to grab her in the back of her neck and her fingers dug painfully in the nerve points at the base of the neck. No point in resisting I know how to handle pesky girls like you, Davina said as Daphne winched in pain. She roughly dragged Daphne, through a secret door in the study, they went down a passageway, and entered the Lab. Mike was in there,''This one knows too much'' sneered Davina. ''Lets deal with her now'' Mike said, reaching for a long length of rope, the two of them then went towards Daphne.................................................. # Daphne hurriedly looked for a way out, but before she could run, Mike and Davina, overpowered her. Davina held her tight, as Mike began to use his bondage skills on her. He started by putting some rope around Daphne's waist, then around her back, binding her wrists together. Then up and around her shoulders, then bringing the rope down to bind her legs and ankles. Then they put Daphne on the table, where more rope was used to tie her tightly to it. Mike checked it, to see if she was secure. Then he smirked, ''She wont get out of that in a hurry''. Davina looked down at the helpless Daphne, ''What a pretty mouth you have'' she snarled, ''Such a shame I'm going to have to gag it''.# Two well knotted silk scarves, were then tied tightly around Daphne's mouth. Daphne lay there helpless, she tried to make some noise, but all she could manage, were some muffled moans.# Mike and Davina admired their work, then they and the duplicate Nancy started to leave. ''Don't worry honey, we will be back shortly to take care of you'' Davina hissed. After they had left Daphne struggled some more, but found her bonds too tight. Meanwhile Nancy was still searching for clues, in the Manor. She glanced out of the window, and saw Mike and Davina driving away. She wondered who the girl in the car was, as she could not see her face. Nancy decided to phone Daphne, she got no answer, as unknown to Nancy, Daphne was trussed up, and gagged in the Lab. Nancy thought she would go back to her room, perhaps Daphne had fallen asleep again......................................... # When Nancy got to her room, there was no sign of Daphne. Nancy decided to wait in the room for a while, in case Daphne returned. She happened to be looking out of the window, when she spotted Mike and Davina, and their girl companion, arriving back at the Manor. Nancy watched them carefully, she saw them walk down the path, then they disappeared behind some bushes. Nancy just had to investigate, she quickly ran downstairs, and out through the door. then she walked down the path, until she found the place that Davina and Mike had walked through.# Nancy left the path, and brushed past some bushes, she found a small trail, that led to a door.# On it were the words, Private Keep Out. Typical Nancy, she had to try the door, and bingo, it was open. Nancy gingerly stepped inside, she could hear voices up ahead. She decide to stay hidden behinnd a cabinet, until she thought it was safe. Meanwhile in the Lab, Mike and Davina were congratulating themselves. They had a large briefcase full of money. ''Even more to our collection'' smirked Davina. Mike was laughing too. ''In about 24 hours we will be away from here for good, we just have a few loose ends to tie up. ''You mean Daphne'' laughed Davina. ''Yes , unfortunately, she's going to have to disappear'' sneered Mike.# On hearing this, Daphne struggled even more, and groaned through her gag. Mike told the duplicate Nancy to guard Daphne, while he and Davina, went back into the Manor, so that no one would miss them. He and Davina then left. Nancy heard the door open, she peeked out from behind the cabinet, she watched as Mike and Davina, walked down a passageway away from her.# When she was sure they were gone, she went up to the room ,they had come out of, she opened the door slowly, and peeped inside. She could just see Daphne tied to the table, and there was a girl nearby, sitting on a chair. Nancy rushed in, she pushed the girl off the chair, the girl fell to the floor. What a shock Nancy had when she saw her, it was her exact double. Nancy thought quickly, she ordered her the fake Nancy to strip down to her underwear, ''If you don't, screamed Nancy , I'll call the cops now''. The fake Nancy, soon stripped off, she stood there in a pair of white panties, and a matching bra. Nancy grabbed hold of her, and using a piece of rope and bound her wrists behind her back. Then she found some more rope, and bound her ankles together. As she was doing this, Daphne was encouraging her with muffled grunts. Nancy looked around, there was some white cloths on a desk, she wound one up, and tied it around her captives mouth as tight as she could. She opened the door, and checking it was safe, dragged her double out into the passageway, and put in in a large wooden chest, there was a clasp on it to keep it shut, Nancy locked it. She then went back into the room, Daphne was frantically, struggling and moaning, her face was becoming redder by the minute. ''Sorry Daph, I'm going to have to leave you bound and gagged'' said Nancy, as she began to put her doubles clothes on. Nancy got dressed then sat in the chair to await the return of Davina and Mike................................................................. # Mike and Davina returned about an hour later, they both had big smiles on their faces. They put down some suitcases they had brought with them, and then Mike began taking down, and packing away his equipment. Nancy walked over to Davina, ''Are we leaving soon'' she asked. Davina smiled, ''Yes, but we have to sort out what to do with her first'', she said pointing at the trussed up Daphne. ''Have we got a lot of money'' asked Nancy. ''More than enough, thanks to you honey'' grinned Davina. ''All those false cheques, you cashed for us, plus our bank card scam, has made us thousands''. Nancy just smiled and walked dack to where Daphne was tied to the table. Mike was nearly finished packing his stuff up, ''Hey Davina'' he yelled, ''Get the girls ready to go''. Davina went over, and untied Daphne from the table, but made sure Daphne's hands were still bound tightly behind her back, she also left her gagged. Nancy thought this might be a good time to escape, she nodded to Daphne, who promptly gave Davina a swift, but hard kick to the shin, then she and Nancy ran for the door. Davina screamed out, ''You bitches, I'll kill the both of you'' and she gave chase, just managing to catch hold of Nancy as they got to the door. Mike also came rushing over, he grabbed hold of Daphne, and carried her back in, and then pushed her onto a chair. Nancy fought with all her might against Davina. However the elder woman twisted her arm on her back and forced her belly down to the floor.# As Davina used her other arm to grab Nancy by the hair to pull her head backwards Nancy stopped her resistance as she realized it was over.# Davina pulled Nancy's hair, ''What's your game bitch, I thought you were on our side''. Mike looked at Nancy, he smiled, he checked behind her ear, then sneered. ''Looks like we have two little ladies to get rid of now, Davina, this is the real Nancy, somehow, she swapped places. Davina pulled Nancy's hair some more, and soon, Nancy told her where her double was hidden. Mike told Davina to tie Nancy up ready for the journey. ''I'm going to enjoy doing this'', growled Davina, as she grabbed hold of some rope, and ducttape........................................................................... ............. # Davina relished the chance to tie up Nancy, she started by binding her wrists behind her back, in usual Davina style she made it very tight. Nancy grimaced as Davina tightened the rope. Next, and with an evil grin, Davina bound Nancy's legs together, then her ankles, again the bonds were tight. Davina was really enjoying this, she pushed Nancy down onto a chair, then started to work with the duct tape, she bound some of it around Nancy's body, and arms, and some more around her already tied legs. Then ripping off some more tape, Davina gagged Nancy, a couple of pieces over her mouth, and then she wound more duct tape around Nancy's head, and mouth, making it an effective gag. Mike had stashed all of his stuff in a van outside, he came back in. ''I see you have done your business'' he said to Davina, looking at the bound Nancy. Davina just grinned, and said, ''Lets get these two bitches out of here''. Mike carried Daphne out to the van, and threw her in the back, then he went back for Nancy. He put her in the back of the van alongside Daphne. Then Mike put the fake Nancy in the back with them, he had immobilised her, and she was just like a shop dummy. Davina then put all their ill gotten gains in a suitcase, and threw it in the van, then they set off. ''Where are we going to take these bitches'' asked Davina. ''I thought we would take them to the old quarry, seems a good place to get rid of them'' said Mike. Davina smiled, she looked into the back of the van, Daphne and Nancy were struggling like mad to get free, which amused her. The van continued along the road, until Mike turned off, and went down an old track to thequarry......................................................................... ............ # As soon as Mike stopped the van, he and Davina wasted no time in getting the girls out. Daphne and Nancy were pulled out of the van, and thrown to the ground. Mike then got the duplicate Nancy out of the van, he doused her in petrol, then set fire to her, it didn't take long for the dummy to burn. ''Thats one piece of evidence taken care of'' he laughed. Then he and Davina turned their attention to Daphne and Nancy. ''There's an old tin hut over there''said Mike, ''Lets put these two beauties in there''. He and Davina then dragged Daphne and Nancy into the tin hut. It was full of old tools, and machinery, but there was enough room to lie the two girls on the floor. Davina wanted to tie the girls together, and with Mikes help she lay them back to back, and began tying them. She used rope to tie their ankles knees, and waists together . Then using a long length of rope tied their bodies tightly together. The girls lay on the floor, barely able to move, Davina checked Daphne's gag, it had come a little loose. She removed it, then grabbing some duct tape wound it several times around Daphne's head and mouth, then for good measure, wrapping it around Nancy's head too, binding the girls even closer. ''Ok, lets go' shouted Mike. Davina went out to the van. Mike looked at the two helpless captives, he showed them a small electric device, ''I'm gonna put this in the rocks above this hut, he growled, its a small charge, when it goes off, you two will be buried in rubble''. Then he laughed, left the hut, slamming the door behind him. Nancy and Daphne struggled vigorously to get free, moaning through their tight gags as they did. Mike placed the charge, then drove off in the van with Davina, they headed back to the highway. ''How long have they got'' sneered Davina. ''I set the timer to go off in about 40 minutes, laughed Mike, ''It''ll give us time to be far away''. Back in the hut, Nancy and Daphne were desperately trying to freethemselves..................................................................... ............ # Mike and Davina had been driving down the highway for some time. ''How long have those two bitches got left now'' sneered Davina. Mike glanced at his watch, ''About 15 minutes, then its curtains for them''. Davina grinned, and said, ''Tell me when their time is up''. Mike smiled and nodded. Back in the hut, the two girls were frantically trying to free themselves, but Davina had done a really good job of tying them up. It was hot in the hut, and the air in there was stale, which made trying to get free, more of an ordeal. Daphne and Nancy grunted through their gags, and wriggled as much as they could in an effort to free themselves. It was hard work, and both of them were beginning to tire. Just then, they heard someone walking outside. The girls knew this was their only chance of getting out. With one mighty effort they wriggled, and squirmed towards the door of the hut. As soon as they were close enough, they began kicking it, as hard as they could. They must have kicked it about 8 or 9 times, before it caught the attention of the woman outside. The woman ran to the side of the hut, she peered in through the window, and saw the two girls bound tightly together. Then she forced open the door of the hut, Mmmmmmmmmmpppppphhhh !!! moaned the girls, Mmmmmmmpppppphhhhhh !!! The woman carefully took their gags off. ''Get us out quick'' yelled Nancy, this place is set to explode''. The woman dragged the two of them out, and quickly untied them. Then they all ran as far away from the hut as they could, and took cover. Meanwhile Mike turned to Davina, he smirked, and said, ''Times up, those girls won't be giving us any more trouble''. Davina punched the air and smiled. Back in the quarry, Nancy, Daphne and the woman, were stood staring, at the remains of the hut. A lot of rocks and earth had landed on it, and it was now just a piece of twisted metal. Daphne looked at Nancy, ''Phew, that was close she said to Nancy, in an understated kind of way. Nancy smiled. Then they both hugged, and thanked the woman for saving them. ''You were lucky'' said the woman, I only come out here about once a week, I like to study butterflies.# Nancy then got on her phone to the police, she gave them the reg number of the vehicle Mike was driving, and about the stolen money. The woman gave Nancy and Daphne a lift back to the Manor.# Not long after the Police arrived, they had aressted Mike and Davina. Nancy showed them where the Lab was, a forensic team was sent in to look for evidence. After giving the Police the full story of what had happened, Nancy and Daphne set out for home. ''That was a nice quiet weekend in the country'' laughed Nancy, ''Sure was'' beamed Daphne. The End. :)
