Thank you [mention]GreyLord[/mention]! The next two updates will focus on Chris and how she deals with the Situation at hand. In Tomorrow´s Update she will meet von Winterfeldt and after that she is in for a Surprise which might change things :) What I would like to know, did you detect the Clues about the Identity of the Mystery Woman? :)

Awesome part! I liked that it was slower paced as I truly entered the mind of Christine and her new situation
That was exactly what I intended when I wrote that Chapter, to capture Chrís´state of mind. And indeed: No more chains are needed at the moment.

It just keeps getting better. The slower pace and ever nearing climax. The insight into Chris’s thoughts and feelings. At this rate we’ll all be on the edge of our seats to see what happens.

Ten percent deduction, [mention]Caesar73[/mention], and ninety percent SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess). All of the women on the bad side are submissive to some degree or other. It seemed reasonable that Crawford was paying von Winterfeldt a visit. Of course, it is just a guess.

Interesting. I wonder how Christine knew that her friends were in the capacity of coming and rescue her. I mean, they could have been killed or taken by some Valkyries or stuff (I'm assuming maybe at some point Hayley told Christine that they've only come and taken her. Maybe I missed something there).

Good battle of wits, and it was pretty clear Christine had to win this first one. Von Winterfeldt did his homework but apparently Sieglinde didn't. The requests from Christine sounds really reasonable, so I'm curious why Sieglinde wasn't prepared for them. Most of von Winterfeldt side are not looking good in this final parts.

And finally, I agree: good job at keeping the tension, not revealing what is going on with Sarah, Kate and Anna, and neither with Hayley and Kirsty. As much as I want to know what's happening there, some things are better kept in secret until the big reveal.

(One more thing: the sentence about the toe rings... was Sieglinde thinking about it or did she speak out loud?)

Nope, youd did not miss anything :) That her Friends will come for her? This is at this point just Chris´ Hope. She tries to convince herself that she will be rescued by friends. She simply must hope that, to keep herself together :)

The Toerings: That was Sieglindes thoughts indeed :)

Well some explanation could be that Christine is the first professional Musician she has to deal with, maybe Susanne von Stülpnagel would have been better suited for the job, but she is a little tied up at the moment still :) What I am saying: Foremost Gablenz is a Warrior not an Administrator. She is a gifted Commander of Soldiers but she is still getting used to her new job, fulfilling Susanne von Stülpnagels duties, so we should her not judge tio harshly :)

The Adlernest: Christine´s Quarters around 1315 Hours:

Christine stood in just Bra and Panties before the large mirror and appraised her reflection critically. After the rehearsal she had been escorted back to her Suite, had had Lunch, which had been exquisite and left to her own devices and Chris had enjoyed the light Salad and the Spaghetti Vongole.

All in all her performance could have been worse. It had been far from perfect, definitely not as bad as she had feared but Bach did not tolerate errors and there had been a few – which normally did not happen. At first she had had trouble to focus to concentrate – but after a while she had been able to focus on the Music only, banning any other thought out of her mind.
After Lunch she had showered and rested. Now Chris regarded her face critically. Her eyes were clearer her features calmer, the rings beneath her eyes had receded- mostly. A good make up would have to do the rest. The rest after Lunch had helped, and the side effects of the Sedative were mostly gone, Chris felt not that tired any more.

The cursed female voice broke her out of her reverie: “Assume the Position Christine, two Maids will enter the Suite and help you to make yourself presentable for your appointment with the Boss.” “Shit” Chris thought “I forgot the time. No time to don a dressing gown.”

Chris tapped on her bare feet to the windows, folded her hands behind her back and waited, the Door opened and two Maids entered: one blonde and one brown haired. The Blonde was more on the rubenesque side and smiled friendly at Christine, whose cheeks glowed brightly red, when she felt the looks of the newcomers on her.

When the Guards wanted to follow the two Maids, the Blonde told them off: “You will leave us alone, this is no Peepshow. We will call you when we need you.” To Chris´ surprise the Guards did as they were told.

“That is interesting” Chris thought who had followed the scene listening attentively.

When the Doors had closed behind the Guards the Blonde turned to Chris and beamed at her: “Good day Christine! I am Gunhild and this is Gaia” she gestured at her Companion, "We will help you to dress for the occasion. I have to compliment you on your figure, you are incredible beautiful, I always envy Women like you, probably I just enjoy cooking too much"

Christine blushed slightly and muttered a “Thank you”

“No need to be ashamed Christine!” The bubbly Maid smiled at her warmly. Christine instantly liked the two Maids, especially Gunhild.

30 Minutes later Christine appraised herself in the Mirror, once more. The two Maids had piled her long blond hair stylishly on her head. The earrings with the emeralds accentuated her green eyes, as did the single large emerald on a golden chain, which rested on her breastbone.

The green silken Summer-dress left her shoulders bare and reached midcalf where it fell wide around her Calves. She wore nude hose and green Peep Toe Sling-back Platform Pumps.

“Green simply is just your Colour, Christine!” Gunhild complimented her warmly and Chris made a snap decision: “Gunhild could you do me Favour? Tell Sophie that I am well.”

She took a risk by involving the maid, but she considered it worth it. Inwardly she hold her Breath. “Did I make an Error in Judgement?” Chris felt enormous Relief when Gunhild nodded smiling: “I think I can do that.”

“Thank you Gunhild this is most kind of you.” Christine replied sincerely.

A knock at the Door disrupted them: The Guard Detail entered. Gunhild smiled encouragingly at her: “Everything will be fine and I will do as you asked.” She told Chris.

Chris nodded and presented her hands to her Guard. To her Surprise the Leader told her: "On Herrn von Winterfeldt´s Orders Mittens and –Handcuffs will suffice and you will wear these Glasses"

The Leader produced Dark Sunglasses which were closed at the sides. “This is just effective as the sleep-mask and it will not ruin my makeup." Chris thought “They are stylish”

Chris could not supress a grin as the mittens were applied and her hands cuffed. Gently two of her Guards took her at the Arms and guided her out of the Office: Two Guards in Front and two Guards behind her.

Her High Heels clicked loudly on the Marble Floor. Christine counted again her Steps and this time they turned right after 100 Steps and followed another Stair Well upwards. Walking the smooth marble steps on her high heels and blind was no easy task and she had to concentrate on every step. But her Guards guided her well. Now she would meet von Winterfeldt again. She steeled herself.

Aeons seemed to have passed since that meeting at Wenningstedt on Sylt: Six Weeks, seven? To her surprise she felt calm and collected: she would not allow her temper getting the better of her! They turned left again and after 50 Steps the small procession came to a halt.

The Glasses were removed as were the mittens and the cuffs. Chris took a deep breath as the Doors swung wide open: “You may enter!” The Leader told Chris. She walked straightened up, Head held high and strode majestically on her High Heels through the Door, for her appointment with the Devil.


A few moments before: Von Winterfeldt´s Office

Von Winterfeldt was giddy with anticipation. Now they would meet again: He and his Soulmate. According to his Staff von der Marwitz had adjusted remarkable quickly to the Situation. Sieglinde had informed him about her requests and he had granted them of course. He could afford it to be benevolent.

He had followed Chris´ rehearsal with rapt attention. Her rendition had been very good but not perfect. Few people would have been able to tell the difference. He could of course. He had made the right choice. They had a long way to go, but he was sure that their harmonies would come together in a crescendo of love in the end.

The large double leaved doors swung wide open and in strode Christine von der Marwitz, seemingly gliding on her very high platform Heels. She looked straight at him and she smiled at him, though the smile did not reach the eyes, and her Eyes were cold. But he didn't mind. Von der Marwitz was human after all and had had a lot digest lately, so he would give her time to adjust to her new life. And he wanted her to play the Chopin perfectly.

Even without heels Christine von der Marwitz would have been an imposing figure, but on those heels she was a Goddess: Those bottomless Pools of green light, which were her Eyes fascinated him She came to halt a few Meters before his desk and bowed her head ever so slightly and spoke in her melodious Alto Voice, like honeyed wine, “Herr von Winterfeldt, so we meet again.” He was mesmerized by the sheer Presence of the Woman. Von Winterfeldt could sense her tension, even if she covered it very well.

“I forgot my manners” von Winterfeldt stood up walked around his Desk and strode to her and executed the hand kiss to perfection without touching her skin. Christine was impressed.

She had expected that his touch must burn her skin, scorching her, but nothing of the sort. Beaming von Winterfeldt motioned to a table before a Louis XV. Couch on delicate legs. “Please have a seat!” Chris followed him sat down, legs parallel as the perfect prim and proper Lady – “Which I am not”, she mused. Von Winterfeldt sat too, made a motion and a maid appeared which filled Tea in the delicate Cups of China.

“Your favourite Blend” von Winterfeldt explained smiling. They both took a sip. To her chagrin Chris had to admit that the Tea was perfect and Christine said so. “Thank you” von Winterfeldt replied cordially –“but I think you have a lot of Questions?”

“You could say that Carl!” The Pianist replied brightly “You do not mind if I use your forename don´t you?”

“Of course not, all my Friends call me Carl.” Von Winterfeldt replied.

The beautiful eye brows raised a fraction: “Carl let be me be frank” von der Marwitz smiled “If we are or will be friends will remain to be seen. But I am prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt. Whilst I find it hard to be brought against here against my will, I thank you for the Chance to play the Chopin.” “Hard is quite the understatement” Chris thought.

Von Winterfeldt nodded: “I appreciate your candour Christine, I really do.” Christine relaxed a bit; being so frank had been a risk. “And I understand that you must feel anger and confusion. What I expect of you, is to give me time to convince you that my intentions are honourable.” He looked expectantly at her.

Chris had to use every use of self-control she possessed. She thanked inwardly her Sensei for teaching her mental discipline. So she smiled back: “I will do that.” “You know Carl, I often think back to our meeting in Wenningstedt and you told me then, that you would like to continue our discourse, so tell me Carl” she said conversationally: "Why do you think my rendition of the Etudes better than the rendition of my revered colleague Grigori Socolow?”

Christine congratulated herself later on this change of tack, because they engaged into a conversation about the finer points of interpreting Chopin avoiding treacherous waters, which was a good thing. And grudgingly Chris had to admit again, that von Winterfeldt´s knowledge was as deep as that of the best Chopin-Specialists.

As Professional she regarded von Winterfeldt as a Dilatant – as Beethoven would have called him: Way above the average Piano Player but not the great artist as he styled himself. “I will not tell him that though, that could spoil the mood somehow.”

The Time passed quickly. At precisely 1600 Winterfeldt stood up and said regrettably: “I hope we can continue this fascinating conversation tomorrow at Dinner. I would be delighted if you would do me the very great honour, my dear Christine!”

“I will Carl and I look forward to it!” She smiled back “This is settled then” von Winterfeldt smiled that dazzlingly smile.

“Another thing Christine: Would you do me the Honour of playing for me?” he asked.

Von der Marwitz nodded majestically: “I will do; you have any wishes Carl, what should I play for you?”

“What about some Brahms?” The Tycoon asked her.

“Of course I will play Brahms for you and your guests, Carl!” Chris smiled at him and somehow she managed it to smile naturally, though she felt as if her Smile had been glued to her face.

"And be prepared to accompany a friend of mine – and you!” von Winterfeldt added. “I am looking forward to it!” Chris replied, still smiling.

He executed that perfect Hand kiss again and Chris turned on her heels and strode to the door. Von Winterfeldt followed her with his Eyes: She seemed to glide, those swaying hips … he sighed.

As the Door had closed he thought about the Conversation:

The Pianist had mesmerized him. He had expected her to be furious at him, but nothing of the sort: On her guard, a little tense and attentive but polite, her self-control was remarkable.. Von Winterfeldt looked forward to Dinner tomorrow:

Christine and Sophie? That would be a dream: This marvellous voice of Sophie and Christine's sublime piano playing! Yes the two women were fine additions to his personal Art-Collection, though Christine would be the Crown-Jewel.

While she was guided to her Quarters Christine let the last Hour pass before her inner Ear: “Von Winterfeldt is a clever bastard, I must give him that, that tantalizing hint at the end, that I will meet someone I know. “The man likes his little Games way too much.”

All in all she congratulated herself on her performance, she had not been sure, if she could keep herself together, but that came at a cost. Christine felt totally drained and exhausted: To smile, to suppress the urge to jump at von Winterfeldt´s throat had been tough.


The Adlernest: Christine´s Quarters:

As soon as the Door of her Suite had been locked behind her Christine carelessly kicked her High Heels off her Feet and sighed contently. Then she stopped in her tracks. Something felt different.

Chris scanned the Room but could not detect anything out of the Ordinary. She took in the air: There were traces of a Perfume lingering still: “I know that scent, but where from?” She walked across the room to the Window. The Sun shone above the Gardens on this Side of the Palace.

She sighed, what would she give now for a walk in the Sun now: “But I am stuck for the foreseeable future inside this Cage.” As she turned and looked at the Working Desk with the large Box on it, which contained the Chopin-Autograph, on the Box lay something. Carefully she went over to the Desk. It was an Envelope of heavy creamy handmade Paper. On it she could read in a bold but neat handwriting: “For Christine”.

Chris hesitated though to take the Envelope in her hands. “The last Time I opened a letter directed at me had been in Nuremberg” she thought: The letter had been prepared with a drug which had rendered her unconscious. When she had come around then she had been tightly mummified in Silk with a Vibrator in her Vagina, that had driven her mad.

Then it hit her: “Nuremberg! That´s it. This is the Perfume Sieglinde Gablenz uses” And the letter was also the Source of the Scent. “The Envelope must have been doused in the Stuff.” Resolutely Chris grabbed the Envelope and flipped it open. Inside was a Card, made of the same heavy handmade Paper. Touching the Card only with her fingertips she took it out of the Envelope, which fell to the floor. Chris read this:

“Dear Christine, I would be delighted if you would have dinner with me at my Quarters at 2000 Hours. Be ready to be escorted to my Quarters at 1945, Sieglinde.”


Christine had to read the Card twice: “So Sieglinde Gablenz wants to dine with me.” “Great” she muttered to herself: “Another invitation I can´t decline: First Tea with the Villain in Chief, then Dinner with his Chief-Enforcer. Just what I need.” she cursed inwardly. “But I have no choice.”

Chris wanted to lay the Card back on the desk, when she stopped dead in her Tracks, a thought had crossed her mind and a small smile curled her lips. A Plan began to take shape …it would be dangerous, but she had nothing to lose.

But first a shower and then some rest, she decided. Carelessly she let her Dress glide to floor stepped out of it, rolled the Pantyhose down her legs, unhooked her Bra and took her Panties off. In all her naked glory she turned to the Camera and spoke to nobody in Particular: “I hope you enjoy the View! turned on her heels and went into the Bathroom. “Probably there are Cameras as well” she thought.

In the Control Centre Sieglinde Gablenz grinned: “I did indeed enjoy the View, my dear Christine!” Sieglinde had been curious how the Pianist would react, when she would find the Invitation on her desk. And she had not been disappointed: she had enjoyed the look of disbelief and irritation on the beautiful face of her “Guest”. “This Evening will be fun! At least for me!”

Gablenz watched with keen interested and Arousal as Chris returned out of the Bath, still naked, pulled on her PJ´s and went to bed. The Pianist seemed to fall asleep as soon as her head touched the Pillows. “See you later my dear!” Sieglinde spoke to the Screen. “Rest well, you will need it.”

I wonder what Chris has in mind because her prison sure is secure. Also I think I disagree in the "I have nothing to loose part" sure she's imprisoned no matter what but if she ends up like Sussane because of her actions I think that can be considered a loss.

Anyway, great chapter.

Always checking things out, always looking for ways out, our favorite pianist is a busy woman, even when her environment restricts her movements.
Great chapter.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to comment.

Someone will not give up easily I see. Although the security seems tight, I think there will be a hole in them soon. Von Winterfeldt and Sieglinde are a bit too overconfident and in awe of their capture at the same time. While Sophia did not, Christine still holds most of the cards in her hands.

It'll be interesting to see exactly how far Sieglinde thinks she can go. As capable as she is, she is a tool for Winterfeldt. Christine is a one-of-a-kind treasure. I wonder which one is more valuable to the boss...

I wonder if Christine is aware of the harsh punishments and treatments Sophia, Susanne and the other Valkyries have gone through... Like Banshee said: it's not that she has nothing to lose. Also, there is Sophia.... and her friends out there. Yes, they are coming to her rescue, but... they have already been defeated (by Hayley and Kirsty, but still).

I wonder if Sieglinde has a different agenda. Different to von Winterfeldt's, that's it. Is Carl aware of Sieglinde's intentions with her precious Christine? If not... what can happen when he finds out?

What Sieglinde has in mind will become clearer tomorrow :) It is a safe bet that Sieglinde will keep this under wraps - because if von Winterfeldt finds out, if he does, there will be hell to pay - for Sieglinde and Christine, so what ever happens or what Sieglinde has in mind: Time is of the essence.

You are right: Sieglinde is a tool and Tools can be replaced. With Christine it is a different Matter, as von Winterfeldt himself said: she is his "Crown Jewell" and as long his obsessed with her, as long she has to perform the Chopin Chris is on the safe side - for now.

The Adlernest: Christine´s Quarters around 1900 Hours:


When Christine awoke around 1900 Hours she felt refreshed and she stretched contentedly. She looked at the Alarm Clock on her Night Stand. 1900 Hours sharp. “I should get up, shower and get ready for Dinner.” She looked forward to it: Not because she would have to dine with Gablenz, but because she was simply famished. Her stomach growled. “I am hungry and I am curious what Sieglinde has in mind.” If she would like what Gablenz has in store for her, would be a different matter, Chris knew. “Maybe she wants to have some revenge for Munich?” Tying her to a tree, covering her in resin, near an Anthill had not been exactly kind, Chris had to admit. “So I better be prepared for everything.”

Christine dressed with care: She applied fresh nail polish, had chosen a heavy perfume with Patchouli which Sieglinde obviously loved as she had learned, too heavy for her taste, but if Sieglinde liked it, so be it. Scents were powerful she knew. For the Occasion Chris chose a matching set of black lacy Bra and Panties in Black, the Bra accentuated her ample Bosom, the shiny black hose, the red toenails shimmered through.

Black-Peep-Toe Platform Pumps and a long and tight black Gown, with a long cut on the right side which showed the whole length of her well-toned and sculpted leg: Christine was very pleased with herself. She smiled. Maybe there was a chance to escape this evil dream after all, even if only for a few hours.

It was 19:45 Christine had assumed the Position as ordered. After the usual knock at the door her Guard Detail entered. The Guards applied cuffs and mittens, but foregone the gag and instead of the blindfold she was presented with the Sun Glasses again. Christine could not hide a chuckle: “Wow, those glasses are really stylish!”

Instead to the right, she felt that they turned left and walked in that direction, another turn left after roughly 100 Metres and another Stairwell.

They halted before a door and Chris heard Sieglinde calling enter. Christine was led inside the room. The Air was warm.Then her Guards obviously left, she heard the closing of the door. “Am I alone? Or is Sieglinde just playing with me?” She just stood there and listened intently. Soft Piano Music filled the room. Mendelssohn´s Songs without words the analytical Part of her Brain told her, Matthias Kirschnereit playing, if she was not mistaken. Chris could not see, only hear but had the distinct feeling that she was not alone.

She smelled the spicy scents of Vietnamese-Cuisine. “Someone has done her homework.” Chris thought. Her Stomach growled.

Christine heard the soft rustle of fabric and jumped as she felt a soft touch at her bare right shoulder. “No need to be afraid, dearest Christine” Sieglindes husky voice whispered in her ear, her lips touching her Ear lobe. "Let me guide you to your seat."

Moments ago Sieglinde Gablenz had enjoyed the sight before her: The blind and bound Christine. “My Lady in Black” she had thought. “A sight to behold.” Sieglinde had always regarded the Pianist as one of the most beautiful Women she knew and she had a lot of experience in that department.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0H48bpJziQ
I find the Lyrics of Uriah Heep´s Lady in Black somehow fitting for the Occasion. Do you too?

She smiled inwardly: The long evening gown. The black Peep Toe Pumps, the red nail polish which shimmered through now and then. Sieglinde had the desire to ravish Christine von der Marwitz on the spot. But that had to wait after dessert after all Christine would be the dessert! She smiled wickedly and excited.

Christine let her Host guide her to a seat. When she had sat Gablenz removed first the cuffs and then the mittens. Chris felt the moist lips of Gablenz softly kissing her on her left shoulder. That husky voice whispered again: “You are so beautiful. I will never let you go.” She felt soft hands removing the glasses carefully. A hand softly caressing her left cheek: Sieglindes hand felt soft on her skin.

Chris needed a moment till her eyes had adjusted. She sat at a round table. A lager silver chandelier stood on the table. Soft candlelight filled the large room which was decorated in the same Louis XV. Style as von Winterfeldt´s Office and the Rehearsal Room.

The private Bathroom, of Louis XV at Versailles

Von Winterfeldt seemed to see himself like some kind of Sun King, Chris thought “and if von Gablenz is his Richelieu”, she smiled inwardly. “Then let me be your Milady de Winter.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milady_de_Winter
From the English Wikipedia: “Milady's beautiful exterior hides a diabolically cunning, manipulative […] interior; she is a classic example of a femme fatale”

Sieglinde Gablenz had just sat down: The brunette Mane piled atop her head, a red evening gown with matching Sandals. She beamed at Chris: “Do you like what you see?”

“Very much so!” Chris purred and looked her Hostess deep in the Eyes. “This Alto Voice is so sexy” Sieglinde thought then asked her “guest”:

“Would you like some Champagne Chris?”

“Perch'e no?" "Why not?” Chris replied smiling with mocked innocence.

Sieglinde gave a cheers gesture and a maid presented them with two Flutes of the bubbly liquid. “To you” Sieglinde toasted her. “To you!” Chris replied. They clanked Glasses and drank. The Dom Perignon was fantastic Chris had to admit.

The Dinner had been fabulous. Aided by more Champagne and the excellent Tyrolian Pinot Grigio helped of course. “On to phase two” Chris thought and braced herself. She slipped her right heel off and let her foot slowly wander, across Sieglindes Shin, upwards and let it rest in Sieglindes lap.

The eyes of her Hostess widened and a sly smile curled her lips. “High heels are beautiful but torturous, don´t you think?”

Chris nodded, thinking, "Time to play, before she said, “Absolutely!” she sighed "and a foot massage would be fantastic.”

They locked eyes. Sieglindes hands went under the table and began to massage Christine´s foot gently kneading the soft flesh of the balls, the high arches, the heel. “That feels so good!” Christine sighed and leaned back and closed her eyes for a second, before looking Sieglinde deeply in the Eye.

Sieglinde had the feeling that she could lose herself in those bottomless Pools of emerald green. “I know I should not do this, but what my Boss does not know, he will not care about” Or at least Sieglinde liked that to believe. She smiled wickedly, a twinkle in her eyes:

“Christine, why don´t we skip dessert and take a night cap in my bedroom?”

A coy smile curled the lips of the Pianist: “Indeed, why not?” Chris removed her foot out of Sieglindes hands and stepped into her right Shoe again. She stood up: “Lead the way Sieglinde!”

Sieglindes Bedroom was dominated by a large king size side bed in the same Style as the apartment. “I powder my nose do not go away Chris!” Gablenz told her smiling enigmatically. “I won´t!” Chris replied warmly, beaming at Sieglinde.

“So far everything has gone according to plan” Chris thought as she heard Gablenz singing a French Lullaby in the Bath Room under her breath. “Now on to the Coup de Grace” A not entirely sober Sieglinde returned, hips swaying in a red negligee which left nothing open to imagination.

“Christine let me help you to make you more comfortable!” Christine presented her back to her host. Gablenz kissed her slightly on the neck, once, twice. Her moist warm lips sent hot showers of exaltation through Chris Body.

She felt that Sieglinde pulled down the Zipper of her gown: It glided down her body and fell to the floor. Chris stepped out of it, and made a Pirouette on her Heels, presenting her Bossom invitingly to Sieglinde. Sieglinde savoured the sight.

“You know” she whispered hoarsely “I just want to ravish you.” Christine smiled coyly “Why don´t you?” Slowly, seductively slow Christine shook one shoe off, then the other. “I am in your hands.”

Slowly, very slowly Chris rolled down the Hose: First one leg, then the other one. She took the soft material balled it up and presented the warm moist ball of Hoisery to Sieglinde, then looked her deep in the eyes and whispered: “I am here as a prisoner, don't you think you should tie me up, so I cannot escape?”

“Well, as you put it that way, how could I refuse?” Sieglinde raggedly whispered back.

Sieglinde took Christine gently by the hand and led her to the bed. She stared into Christine's eyes and placed her hands on her hips. Her hands glided down Christine's legs, slowly slipping her underwear off.

Christine stepped out of her underwear and waited while Sieglinde retrieved a handful of scarves. Christine closed her eyes sighing softly, as her paramour tied a scarf snugly in place.

Sieglinde teased Chris' lips with the balled up stockings and Chris opened her mouth, moaning softly. Sieglinde gently filled Chris' mouth with the makeshift ball and kept it in place with a knotted scarf.

Sieglinde took a silk scarf in the palm of each hand and then, slowly used them to massage every inch of Christine's body, before tying one of the scarves around each wrist, leaving the ends free.

She guided Christine to the edge of the bed and helped her sit, before laying her in the centre of the bed. Christine sighed feeling the scarf around her right wrist pulled to the corner of the bed and secured in place.

Sieglinde walked slowly around the bed, trailing her finger over Chris' body and drinking every drop of her beauty, on her way to her left wrist. Christine tugged playfully at her bonds once her left wrist was secured and waiting for whatever Sieglinde had planned next. She giggled softly.

Sieglinde wrapped a scarf around Chris' left thigh and slowly slid it down her leg, caressing every inch of her hot skin, as she worked her way slowly down.

Finally Chris felt the scarf tighten around her ankle and let Sieglinde lift her foot who kissed her instep softly before securing it to the corner of the bed. She sighed, when a moment later, her other ankle was bound too and she lay back helpless.

She groaned softly into the gag. She shuddered as she felt Sieglindes Fingers caressing the sole of her left foot softly. A soft giggling moan escaped her lips. Goosebumps forming on her skin.

Sieglinde could not get enough of the sight before her: There laid the proud Christine von der Marwitz spread-eagled naked on her bed, softly moaning into her gag. Sieglinde knew that this was wrong, but she could not help herself. To resist that urge was impossible. Only a god would have been able to resist. And hey even Zeus did not resist.

Sieglinde knelt down at the foot of her bed, so that she could reach Christine´s left foot easily. She let her tongue glide above the soft heel in circular motions, Christine softly giggled, stifled by the ball of hose in her mouth. “I am losing my mind. What am I doing?”

And she moaned. Sieglinde turned her attention to her right foot. Christine´s breathing quickened, her moans became louder. An evil smile curled Sieglindes lips: she took the large Hitachi Wand and pressed it against Christine´s wet pussy. Removed it, waited a few seconds and pressed it against Christine´s Pussy again. Sieglinde breath in deeply, the air was heavy now with the scent of Chris´ arousal.

Christine groaned louder and she tugged at her silken bonds. This was heaven and hell. “What do we do for the greater good?” Was one of her few sane thoughts for quite a while.

Later:

“Sieglinde plays me like a fiddle” she thought, and that tickling and worshipping of her feet? “That has been great, no doubt, but to be honest” Chris had to admit: “Sarah has me given better orgasms”

She had to grin under her gag, before biting down on it as another orgasm started to build and she strained against her silken bonds, which were soft but unforgiving. She writhed and trashed on the bed as far as her silken restraints would allow.

Sieglinde took her left nipple in her mouth and sucked on it, then right, then alternating between the two …then Sieglindes hot and wet tongue went slowly south. Sieglinde bowed between Chris´ splayed legs and began to lick the soft inside of Chris´ left tight, starting above the knee, slowly moving upwards. Chris´ moaned and strained against her bonds.

Sieglinde felt the Muscles of Chris firm thigh rippling beneath her tongue. The Pianist flexed her feet, curled her toes. Another touch of Sieglindes hot devilish tongue and Chris´ Body became rigid as the Orgasm washed over her. She had lost count, she was riding on a wave of ecstasy and just let it go.

Sometime much later that night Christine awoke. Sieglinde had curled besides her. Her left hand lay on her right breast. Sieglinde snored softly. Her brain told Chris: Mission accomplished and to her surprise she felt a little sorry for Sieglinde. But just a bit only.

Carefully she removed Sieglindes Hand and waited for a spell, but Sieglinde did not even stir. Chris tapped on her bare feet in Sieglindes private Office, carefully minding her step: she searched the room quickly but thoroughly ever listening to Sieglindes deep breaths, who was still fast asleep.

Besides a spacious desk, there was a Control Unit from which the whole Security System could be operated. It required a Retina Scan and a scan of the right hand. “I will think about that tomorrow” Chris yawned, and there was a cupboard, Chris opened it carefully. Something caught her eye: It was worth the risk she decided and retrieved the item she had spotted. She closed the door

Stealthy like a cat on the Prowl Chris tapped back to the bedroom. Sieglinde was still snoring, she lay down and closed her eyes, cuddled against Sieglindes warm body and then she drifted back to sleep. Exhausted and content. Tomorrow would be another day and she was maybe – just maybe - one step nearer to escape? But even if not: The situation had changed.

My oh my... I fear both von Winterfeldt and Ms Gablenz have severely underestimated his newest 'acquisition'. It's a beautiful doll with magnificent skills... and a lethal surprise hidden within.
He thinks he's bought himself a new collectible. She thinks she's found herself a new plaything. It'll be quite interesting to see just how badly they are surprised when they find out exactly who they are up against...

[mention]Caesar73[/mention], you have truly outdone yourself this time. Let me start with a comment on your selection of music. The Mendelssohns Song without words was a fantastic choice. BTW, Juya Wang is a fox. "The Lady in Black' fit equally well.

That I missed my guess about the identity of the Mystery Woman is of no consequence. What you have written is 100% consistent with your story. And it is scorching hot. Chris suggesting that Sieglinde tie her up was masterfully done. We almost have to feel sorry for Sieglinde. But not quite.

Waiting for your next installment will be very very hard.

Well, Well, Christine is playing the femme fatale, and the hubris of her captors showed to be great again. Sieglinde is naive. Christine could have easily killed her, and her admiration of the pianist made her blind for the other side of Christine: A spy and detective. If she made this mistake on her first encounter, Christine will be free in no time with plenty of opportunity for revenge.

Oh my....

That was a really hot scene. Christine indeed playing well her cards and taking full advantage of both bad guys' weakness for her. Although I'm sure all the "kindness" from her captors will go away if they find out.

A couple of thoughts: did Sieglinde untied Christine after their mutual... activity? Or did she untie herself? I read it twice (that's how good it was) but I think I missed that. And another one... I hope the item she retrieved is a small one. Otherwise, it's going to be a bit problematic to return to her chambers with it.

Good question - I would guess, Sieglinde untied Christine at some point, probably when Chris had fallen asleep, exhausted after their recreational activities :) As for the Item, it is a small one - but maybe Chris did not take it with her, but deposited it somewhere in Sieglindes Appartment for later use? Who knows?

[mention]NotSeen[/mention]:

You are right, von Winterfeldt and Sieglinde are comitting the same error: They have made up an image of Christine: Von Winterfeldt wants to see the great Artist in Chris and Sieglinde the Woman, so [mention]Beaumains[/mention] I am not sure if I would call her "naive" - her judgement is clouded because she thinks not rationally when it comes to Chris. Her emotions cloud her Judgement and Chris takes advantage of that in letting her belief, that it is Sieglinde who seduces Chris. In fact it is the other way around.

The last Updates focused mainly on Christine and her first Day at the Adlernest. Now the Focus shifts and we will learn what the other Actors are doing, friend and foe. Some wort on the Status of Affairs. A first Version of the final Duel is complete and I have begun to write the following Chapters. As it happens, there will be some sheep around :)

The second Day:

A secluded Valley not very far from the Brenner Pass: Early Morning:

Anna stood on the patio of the large Chalet they would use, as HQ she took a sip of the strong black Coffee and looked down thoughtfully in the Valley below her. Somewhere near was Christine. Her BFF was so near but so far away in the adjacent Valley. Inside the Chalet Sarah and Kate were busying themselves with preparing the breakfast, chatting.

The smell of strong fresh brewed Coffee and Bacon and Eggs was heavenly. The Trio had begun the day with a morning run in the cool fresh and fragrant air of the Mountains. For the time being they would do everything together. Not that that had helped them in Vienna in the End. But staying together helped them all: Chris was the missing link. Since Munich she had been the one building bridges with Sarah McKenzie and it had worked. Now they would have to work without Chris. Working together, being a team. To get Chris back. And they would get her back.

“Chris, I wonder what you are doing now?” Anna thought. She knew her friend was strong but even Christine´s strength had its limits and the last weeks had been demanding on all of them. And Anna had sensed some Fatigue in Chris even before her Abduction.

The conversation with Robert had been one of the hardest tasks she had ever had to do. The lawyer had been shocked, when he learned of Chris´ Abduction. “I will come to you and help you!” he had told Anna.

“Robert you cannot come!” She had replied sternly. “You are not trained for this kind of thing and to be honest: As things are, you would endanger the whole Operation, I am sorry, I really am.” But the Lawyer had already ended the call. Anna sighed.

The Drive from Vienna to this Valley had been long and hard. From Innsbruck they had followed the Motorway to the Brenner Pass then they had left the Motorway and reached the secluded Valley. They had not talked much, everyone deep in thought.

After Breakfast they would recon the Area and beginning to search for the Entry into the hidden Tunnel system which itself leaded to the Entry of the secret Passageway which hopefully ended in the Cellars of the Adlernest, if it had not collapsed.

And they would have to wait for Hayley King and Kirsty Garrett for making contact. Anna promised herself not to do anything rash –for Chris´ sake.

She returned into the living Room: Breakfast was ready.


The Adlernest: Same time, Susanne von Stülpnagel´s Quarters:

Susanne was restless. Once again she banged her head in frustration on the soft down surface of the inner restraining bag. Today would be the fourth day she had to spend inside those dammed bags. Every day had followed the same routine: Around 0700 she was let out of the bags to freshen up, put a fresh diaper and a fresh down Suit on. She hated them by now.

At 0730 breakfast was served. At 0800 she was again restrained in the restraining bags. Susanne was let out to freshen up before Lunch and after Lunch it was back in the bags again till Dinner at 1900 Hours. At 2000 she was restrained again.

Now and then she had to take a chloroform induced nap. That happened randomly, but at least once day. The night before, she had been presented with a vibrator. Nobody talked to her about her fate. This was unnerving. The worst was the uncertainty and the Monotony.

The Doors opened: It was time for her morning break.


The Adlernest: around 0800 Hours, Sophie´s Quarters:

Sophie looked at her watch, Breakfast would be served soon. The Morning run through the Park had been great. Yesterday had been uneventful, Morning exercise, Breakfast, another lesson, she had been taught to detect if she was being followed and how to evade Surveillance, then after lunch she had rehearsed with Frau Berger.

The only difference: Besides Handel, they had practised some Schubert Songs and Frau Berger had told her, that this evening she would have Dinner with von Winterfeldt and some guests. Sophie wondered who the guests would be, but the Teacher had given away nothing. After rehearsal she had practised Krav Maga, which had been fun. Her teacher had told Sophie that she was a very good student.

At the sound of a knock at the door, Sophie assumed the position automatically by now. Gunhild and Gaia served the Breakfast as usual. “Good morning Sophie! Did you sleep well?”

“I did thanks.” Sophie smiled.

When Gunhild filled Sophie´s Cup again she whispered: “I should greet you from Christine von der Marwitz. She sends her best!”

Sophie nearly lost the grip of her Cup. “Christine is here? How is she?” Thousand questions raced through her mind.

“Shhh ...” Gunhild put her finger to her lips, indicating that Sophie should keep silent. She whispered again: “Christine is fine. Do not worry and do not do something silly do not tell anyone that you know that she is here.”

When she was alone again Sophie stared at the wall, lost in thought. So they had captured Christine too, the thought that the Pianist and her friends would come for her had kept her going and now Christine was a prisoner too in this golden cage.

“Get a grip” she told herself. “I will not despair, the hell I won't”

And maybe there was something positive in all this: With Christine the chances were much higher that they could escape and now everything made sense: One of the mysterious Dinner Guests must be Christine!

And that gave her hope. She was not alone anymore.


The Adlernest: around 0830 Hours, Chris´ Quarters:

Christine stifled a yawn and stretched, like a large feline predator. Very early in the morning Sieglinde had woken her with a long, slow kiss, the Head of Security had Christine lent a track suit and running shoes, then she had applied the restraints and led Christine through a hidden Passageway, which ended in Christine´s Quarters, as she had found out, much to her Surprise – when Sieglinde had removed the Glasses and the other restrains.

Noticing her surprised Look Sieglinde had explained that there were a lot of such Passageways- and being tasked with taking care of her, Sieglinde had chosen her Suite so, that she could use one of those Ways.

“We will see each other tonight." Sieglinde had told her before they parted "We will have Dinner with the boss and another special guest, you will know!”

“I look forward to the evening and after Dinner ….” She let the Silence hanging in the Air.

Christine had returned the smile and kissed Gablenz full on the lips. “Me too!”

Much to her own surprise she began to like the Sieglinde Gablenz, sort of, and she looked indeed forward to it- a bit, or more? The morning exercise had been fine, while running gagged and shackled was a new experience, but she had had no trouble keeping the Pace of the four Valkyries who accompanied her.

She was chained to two Guards while the other two had followed them in a few Metres distance. “I should feel honoured: four Guards for one bound and gagged woman.” Chris grinned under her gag.

The excellent continental breakfast she had devoured in record speed and the Green Tea had been perfect. It was 0845 now she had to be ready for Piano practice at 1015.

Chris looked down on the Box which contained the Chopin-Manuscript. Time enough for her to get a first impression of the Manuscript. She put on the cotton gloves and opened the box: Inside laid the Autograph. She recognized Chopin´s characteristic hand. The Manuscript seemed to be in excellent condition.

Carefully she removed the Manuscript from its Box and laid it carefully under the lamp. For a detailed analysis the time was too short, that would have to wait till after lunch. She looked at the first sheet:

Image
First Page of the Autograph of Chopin´s fourth Ballade in F-Minor, Bodleian Library Oxford

The Handwriting was clear and precise no specks, no corrections. Obviously this autograph had been a setting copy – but for what reason however it had never been printed. Very very carefully Chris touched the first Page. Even with the Gloves on her hands, she could feel the texture of the Paper, closed her eyes, only feeling. She read the first page and in her mind she heard the Music, which had been forgotten for nearly 200 Years.

Time had no meaning. So immersed she had been, that it was the Signal of the Alarm Clock, which reminded her to get ready for practice.

She could hardly wait to bring this Music to life!

One Surprise that awaited her, when she sat down at the Piano: she found the Scores of three Schubert Songs. Obviously Chris should prepare those Songs …. Too bad she would have no chance to rehearse with Sophie before the Evening, which she would have preferred, they would have just to rely on each other.



The Adlernest: 1145 Hours, Susanne von Stülpnagel´s Quarters:

Susanne had just showered, put a fresh diaper and a new down suit on, when it knocked. Entering were Sieglinde Gablenz and two Valkyries. Susanne appraised the Head of Security: Sieglinde seemed to glow from inside, a smile curled her lips. “This is strange” Susanne thought. “Sieglinde is normally the pragmatic unemotional type.”

Gablenz addressed her: “Good day Susanne! How are you?”

“I am well thank you” Susanne was on her guard.

“The Boss ordered me to check up on you, how you are keeping up. Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Yes, you could let me out and let me do my job again.” But that wouldn't happen, Susanne knew. Aloud she said: “Can you tell me, how long I will be detained?”

Sieglinde Gablenz looked at her with Pity: “I am sorry, but the Führer has not told me anything. I guess you just have to be patient. You know as well as I do that he does not forgive easily.”

“Is there anything else? Something I might do for you Susanne?” Susanne pondered the Question for a moment, “Yes there is something: “Can I hear Music or watch TV? Staring at the ceiling is boring beyond belief.”

Sieglinde nodded: “I will see to it and Susanne: Do not give up hope. The Master regards you very highly.”

Susanne smiled bitterly: “He has a curious way to show that.”

"If he had a poor view of you, you would be dead." Sieglinde remarked pursing her lips.

The Silence hang heavy in the Air.


A secluded Valley not very far from the Brenner Pass, Safe House, around 1000 Hours:

Their Safe House was a typical Tyrolean Farm House – only that a normal farmhouse would have not been so heavily secured. In the living room Anna, Kate and Sarah sat around a table and looked at the digital map projected at the wall: A small red dot marked the location of the Adlernest, another dot the location of the Safe House.

Anna explained: “I had a Conversation with von Instetten, he told me the Coordinates of the Entrance to the Passageway on our side of the Valley: He told me that the Passageway ends roughly 300 Metres behind the outer Perimeter of the Adlernest.”

“From there a tunnel System leads up in the Mountains, which ends here.” She pointed to another spot on the map, “around two Kilometres from here. There the Entrance is hidden.”

Sarah nodded: “So we will make a recon of this area today. Do you have any objections?” She looked at her Companions: “No?” The Question is not that we get in the Adlernest, the Question is how we do get out in one Piece.” Kate and Anna nodded. “Getting in is the easier part!” the Thief continued to lecture.

“The tricky part is the part when we leave the Adlernest. In the worst case we will have Company. We should be prepared to demolish the Passageway to keep any unwanted company at bay. We will have to prepare, and plan and recon accordingly. The lives of Sophie and Chris may depend on that. The hasty strokes often fail; the key is preparation, preparation and preparation.”

Anna quipped: “You can really be bossy you know?” but in a playful way.

“Someone has to be in this sort of business” McKenzie replied dryly “or you land in Prison or worse.”

“I wonder, when Hayley King and Kirsty Garrett will show up” Kate added thoughtfully.

“Their knowledge could come in handy …” She said to nobody in Particular.


On the Motorway near Innsbruck 60 Kilometres away from the Brenner Pass:

Hayley and Kirsty had agreed upon that Kirsty would doing the driving because she was much better accustomed to the Rules on the Continent.

Hayley asked Kirsty: “What do you think? What Reception will we get, when we meet von der Marwitz´ Companions?”

Kirsty smiled: “Do not count on any warm hugs and kisses on the cheek. For them we are the enemy. We abducted their friend and leader. And from the reports we know that Anna Romanova, Christine von der Marwitz and Kate Beckett are close. Each of them is a force of to be reckoned with in her own unique way.”

Hayley nodded: “Anna Romanova strikes me as the most emotional of the Trio. She and Christine go back a long time and she is very protective of her friends. She strikes me as the type who shoots first and asks questions later.”

Kirsty nodded: “Do you now Kate Beckett?” Hayley shrugged:

“Not personally, but by reputation and her professional record is enough. She is legend in the NYPD and that not for the fact that she is married to Richard Castle: She is known to be focused, determined and strong willed; and one of the most famous Interrogators ever. I think she will at least hear us out- before she shoots us.”

Kirsty explained: The wild Card is Sarah McKenzie aka “The Dark Lady”: Interpol holds her responsible for some of the most famous heists around the World. It is said in some circles that if she dies, all of the treasures in hell will be in her repository before Satan knows she was there.

She is highly skilled in Martial Arts and has qualified as a Sniper. I wonder what the Connection to von der Marwitz is: the two are so very different personalities. The Story would be most interesting."

“How do we approach them?” Hayley asked her friend. “Just knock at the door and saying “Hey here we are?”

“That may be the best way” Kirsty replied thoughtfully. “See this from their perspective Hayley: They have no reason to trust us. We abducted their friend. I think they are inclined to shoot first and ask questions later if we sneak in.”

“I guess you are right” Hayley replied dryly.

“So we will knock at the front door and hope that Kate Beckett opens the door and not Anna Romanova.”

What a part. So much happening. Christine seems not to be weakening any time soon, and the rest of the quartet is also still continuing their operation, but somehow, Susanne's few paragraphs seemed the most important this chapter. She has lost hope and is less determined to serve von Winterfeldt than ever before. I think she might switch sides, or at least not hinder the quartet.

If I may be a bit more critical, then I have to say that I find your nazi references a bit too much and unnecessary. Calling von Winterfeldt Fuehrer and "Orders are orders." a few chapters back are not necessary. We already know von Winterfeldt is evil and wicked, and there is no need to say that by having his employees equate themselves with literal nazis.
