The Story of Hanna/Chapter I - Interrogation - Make a Verbal Promise
You have no other choice. You don't want to be punished, especially since he threatened to have Dusty assist with the punishment. You must utter those word. "I promise to never try and escape again…" As you finish your sentence, your heart starts to beat faster and you feel the devil weigh heavily on your shoulders. As long as you keep this promise, you will gain power from it, but should you break the promise, it will curse you, and take away from you permanently. Lucky for you, devil is being lenient today, and he's not offering you a lot of power for this promise. This means that the punishment won't be great either. Besides, there might still be a possibility that you don't even have to escape. Who knows, maybe given some more time, you can get away from this village with a special permission?
"Good girl. Looks like you have dodged my full wrath." Robert still doesn't look satisfied though. He starts to smile and laugh. "But you're not escaping my punishment."
"Yes… Please punish me for what I have done…"
"As long as you know you were wrong", he says and picks up the key, helping you down from the chains. Comfortably at ground level, you don't get time to relax. He drags you towards the next place, and there are chains much lower to the floor. "Since you've admitted to being wrong, I'll settle for lashes. Start undressing immediately before I change my mind."
You hesitate, but in the end, what other choice do you have? You begin to undress and start with your shirt. You move up to the skirt, and open up the buttons, but you're hesitant. You're waiting. You really don't want to do this.
"Be quick about your business", he commands you. "This is your final warning."
Looks like you really don't have any other choice but to hurry up. You quickly undress your camisole, revealing your chest, and then, suddenly, he grabs your arms. You still have your panties, socks and shoes, but he doesn't look like he cares about waiting. He presents you to the wall, face towards it, he's about to chain you by your wrists. Leon's words resonate within you. He said he'll definitely come for you, and if there ever was a time for him to rescue you, it sure as hell is now, but it doesn't look like help is coming your way in this wretched, sadomasochistic playroom.
Oh, but maybe there is still a ray of hope, as small as it may be. Robert closed the door, but did he lock it?
