Part Two
Jess had not slept all night. She was tied in a very tight hogtie,  gagged and wearing five layers of waterproof jackets and trousers on a warm  summer’s night. Her body ached all over and sweat covered her body. The other  girls had left her bound like this in her tent and gone back to their own tents  for a good night’s sleep. She was in agony and exhausted.
    
  But Jess wasn’t angry with the girls that her tied her up and left her like  this. She wanted to be their friend and she could see how her actions yesterday  had upset them. She hoped that by letting them do this to her they might  forgive her and maybe they’d become friends. That was what Jess had hoped.
    
  Lying bound, gagged and hogtied, Jess couldn’t tell what time it was. With the  hood of one of the waterproof jackets over her face she couldn’t see anything.  She had laid there in the darkness for what felt like eternity. Occasionally  she would try to move, to change position a little and ease the pain over her  body, but there was little relief.
    
  She couldn't make too much noise, couldn't call out, in case that gave away her  situation to one of the other girls or her teacher. Although that would likely  get her released early, Madeline had threatened to release pictures of her  putting the waterproof jackets on to the entire school and she didn’t want  that. Better to remain as she was and serve her punishment. Maybe then the  other girls would be her friends.
    
  After what felt like ages she began to see some light penetrate through the  hood over her face. There were some small ventilation holes in the hood and  they were letting a small amount of light through. The Sun must be rising she  thought. Shortly thereafter she began to hear voices and movement. With so many  hoods over her head she couldn’t make out what was being said, but she knew the  other girls must be waking up and moving around. She would be released soon.
    
  Time went on, the voices continued, but no one came to release her. She could  hear multiple voices, some quiet, some shouting out instructions. She stayed  quiet, not wanting to be discovered until the girls came to release her. She  could hear some of the tents being packed up, but still no one came to release  her.
  
  After a while the noises stopped and everything was quiet. Had everyone gone?  Had they left her here? Surely Miss Forbes wouldn’t have left without all the  students, and certainly not with one of the tents still standing.
  
  Then she heard the zip of her tent being opened and somebody came inside. She  felt hands on the ropes that bound her and the slack eased off the ropes tying  her legs to her arms. Jess let her feet lower onto the floor, relishing the  relief that that gave her aching legs. She felt the ropes binding her legs  being undone and then her legs were able to separate a little. As the feeling  returned to her legs, Jess could feel how sweaty they were, she was practically  drenched.
  
  Then Jess felt other arms grab her shoulders and reach under her still-bound  arms. They pulled her prone body out from the tent and helped her stand. Her  legs were wobbly and only just regaining her strength but they helped her walk  a few paces until the strength in her legs returned. They helped her walk a bit  and then turned her around and pushed her body down until she was sat on what  felt like a log.
  
  She could hear some voices, but they were quiet and she couldn’t make out what  was being said. Someone was undoing the hood of the Arcteryx jacket over her  head and pulling it down, and then the hood over her face was pulled down. Cool  air rushed against her face and her eyes scrunched under the bright sunlight. The  breeze and the light was wonderful, and for a few seconds she kept her eyes  closed, enjoying the feel of the cool air before trying to open her eyes. When  she opened her eyes and got used to the light she saw Madeline standing in  front of her smiling.
  
  “Morning Jess, sleep well did you?” she said with a wicked smile.
  
  Behind Jess she could see the other girls from last night: Sophie, Alice and  Roberta, as well as another girl, Julie. They were all wearing t-shirts and  shorts, and must have been wonderfully cool on this warm summer’s day. Jess was  still wearing all the waterproofs and she felt silly sat in front of them all,  still gagged and with her arms bound behind her back.
  
  “Oh my god!” said Julie, looking Jess’s figure up and down, “you really had her  tied up like this for the whole night?”
  
  “Yep”, said Alice, “we wanted her to experience the unpleasantness we went  through yesterday”.
  
  “How many jackets is she wearing” asked Julie.
  
  “Five waterproof jackets, and five pairs of waterproof trousers”, said Roberta.
  
  Jess looked out at the girls wearily. Most of the tents had gone, as had half  the group, including Miss Forbes.
  
  “You’re probably wondering where everyone has gone”, said Madeline, “well, we  told Miss Forbes that a group of us weren’t feeling well and couldn’t continue  with the hike and the camping trip. So she and the other girls have gone on  without us and we’re to head back to the car park where the school has sent a  vehicle to pick us up.”
  
  Jess was relieved. She was feeling so exhausted and dirty she was glad she  wouldn’t have to continue with the hike. At least this way she could take the  rest of the day easily and be home in her bed tonight. Hopefully the girls  would untie her now and she could get these jackets off and maybe get a shower.  There weren’t any clouds in the sky today and the Sun was already warming her  up.
  
  “Shall we pack the tents up girls?” said Madeline to the others.
  
  “Maybe Jess would like to help us?” said Alice.
  
  “What a good idea!” said Madeline, “would you like to help us pack up all the  tents?”
  
  Jess tried to say that of course she’d help them, once they untied her, but all  that came out of the gag in her mouth was “mmmmppppfffff”-ing noises.
  
  “I think that means she’d love to help us”, said Alice, “in fact, given that she’s  so good at camping I think she’s offering to do all the work for us”.
  
  That wasn’t was Jess had in mind at all, but perhaps if she did this for the  girls they’d be her friends. Anything to get untied and get these jackets off.  She groaned, but nodded her agreement.
  
  “Excellent” said Madeline. And with that she went behind Jess and undid the  ropes that bound her arms. Once they were released Jess felt an immense relief  and could feel the ache in her joints diminishing. She was about to reach for  the zip on the outer Arcteryx jacket when Madeline grabbed her arm and said  “no, keep those on”.
  
  Jess was shocked and looked up at Madeline, “pack up the tents first” Madeline  instructed.
  
  Groaning, and with a sigh that the other girls took great pleasure in hearing,  Jess started to pack up the tents. The other girls sat around the campfire  having breakfast and shouting instructions to Jess as she worked.
  
  Jess was exhausted and couldn’t move very fast, and with all the waterproof  jackets on her movement was a little awkward. The Sun was beating down on her  now and the day was warming up. She could feel herself sweating again, the five  layers of waterproof jackets creating a nylon prison in which she was stewing.
  
  She fumbled at the tent poles and camping ropes and did her best to get them  all packed away properly. The waterproof gloves she had on also made it  difficult at times. At one point she dropped a huge pile of tent poles that  made a deafening clatter. As she was bending over to pick them up she felt a huge  thwack on her arse that sent her tumbling to the floor. Sophie was standing  over her, a short metal tent pole in her hands. She looked angry and shouted  down at Jess “come on Jess, stop messing around!”
  
  Jess mmmmppppffff-ed into her gag, trying to tell her that the waterproof  gloves she was wearing made it hard to hold things properly. Sophie swung the  tent pole again and hit Jess on the arse sending shock waves of pain through  her body.
  
  “Stop complaining and get the job done!” said Sophie, “I want to go home”.
  
  “Stop messing with her Sophie” said Roberta from near the campfire.
  
  Sophie scowled at Jess and walked back over to the girls who were all laughing.
  
  “It’s ok, I think the little bitch can take it”, said Madeline.
  
  Jess kept working and after about an hour she had all four remaining tents  packed up into their bags. She walked back over to the girls and  mmmppppfffff-ed into her gag to get their attention.
  
  Madeline turned to look at her work and seemed pleased, “good girl”, she said  to Jess, “or should I say, good bitch?” as she winked at the other girls. The  others laughed, but Jess just remained quiet, hoping she would now be allowed  to take the waterproofs off.
  
  “Kneel” said Madeline, and Jess sunk to her knees, hoping Madeline was going to  help her remove the waterproof jackets and end this torture.
  
  “Shall we head to the car park?” said Madeline to the other girls.
  
  “Sounds good to me”, said Roberta, “shall we let Jess take off those jackets  now?” Jess was relieved to hear this, and looked up at Madeline with a pleading  look it her eyes.
  
  “I’m not sure”, said Sophie, looking up at the sky, “it looks like it might  rain”.
  
  Jess looked up at the sky but couldn’t see any clouds. The sky was a brilliant  blue, the Sun was shining, there was no chance of rain today.
  
  “I think you’re right”, said Madeline, “better to be prepared,” and turning to  Jess, she said, “don’t you agree Jess? Better to be prepared, right?”. Jess  groaned, realizing the girls were intent on punishing her a little longer for  her actions the day before. “No no, I think you better keep your waterproof  jackets on until we get to the car, you know, just in case it rains” said  Madeline as she winked at the other girls.
  
  Jess sighed and hung her head, surely this couldn’t continue any longer?
  
  “The bitch is ignoring you Madeline”, said Sophie, “I don’t think she respects  you”. Sophie swung the metal camping pole and hit Jess in the arse again. Jess  toppled over from the impact, put her hands out and landed on all fours.
  
  “You’re right Sophie”, said Madeline, “we’re going to have to teach this girl  some respect. I wonder how we could do that?”.
  
  Sophie looked around the campsite until her eyes rested on Julie’s waterproof  jacket resting on one of the logs. “There’s one more set of waterproofs for  Jess to put on!” she exclaimed, pointing at Julie’s jacket.
  
  “Oh that’s a great idea”, said Julie, who grabbed her jacket and trousers and  brought them over to Jess.
  
  “Stand up, bitch”, said Madeline, and Jess slowly got to her feet.
  
  "Put these on", said Julie, handing Jess her green waterproof  trousers, which Jess slowly put on, pulling them up to her waist and over  Roberta’s blue Arcteryx jacket. Then she took Julie’s jacket, a brown Arcteryx  rain jacket, which she also put on. Now with six layers on these waterproofs  were tight, which further added to the discomfort.
  
  Madeline came up to Jess, and taking the blue waterproof jacket hood that Jess  had had over her face all day she tucked it away. “I don’t think we’ll need  this for a bit, otherwise you won’t be able to see where you’re going”. Jess  was relieved to hear that, her face was the only exposed part of her and the  only part to have any fresh air.
  
  Madeline then pulled the hood of the blue Arcteryx jacket and then the hood of  Julie’s brown Arcteryx jacket over Jess’s head, tying the bow strings of each  jacket’s hood until the hoods were tightly held in place.
  
  “Now, since you’re such an excellent camper, perhaps you can help us carry our  bags back to the car?” said Madeline. Jess groaned.
  
  The girls took one of the large camping bags and helped it over Jess’s  shoulders. They tightened the shoulder straps and used the waist straps to  secure it to her. Then they took the other large shoulder bag and helped Jess  carry it on her front. Again the shoulder straps were tightened and the waist  straps attached and tightened. The girls then set about tightening various  other straps until the two large camping bags were firmly tied to Jess’s rain  jacket-covered body.
  
  The only bags left were two small shoulder bags that Sophie and Madeline  carried with them.
  
  Then Madeline took Jess’s arms and tied them together behind her back, tucking  them underneath the shoulder bag. She was once more completely gagged and  restrained and at the mercy of the girls.
  
  “Are we ready?” said Madeline.
  
  “Just one small addition”, said Sophie. She walked over to Jess and tied one of  the camping ropes loosely around Jess’s neck. Two cords extended from the rope,  one of which Sophie passed to Roberta while she held onto the other. “There,  that’ll stop the little bitch from wandering off or slowing down”.
  
  And with that the girls set off. Madeline, Alice and Roberta walked up front,  with Roberta pulling on Jess’s leash, while Sophie and Julie walked behind.  Jess was exhausted, covered in six layers of waterproof jackets, bound and  gagged and carrying two very heavy rucksacks. If she slowed down she felt  Roberta pull on her leash, while if Sophie got too close to her she would beat  her arse with the tent pole she carried.
  
  The journey was agonising. Sophie seemed to take quite a lot of pleasure from  beating her and was doing it regularly. Jess tried to walk faster to avoid the  swipes of the rod, but at one point while doing this she accidentally walked  into the back of Roberta. Roberta swung round angrily “what did you do that  for?”, but Jess could do nothing but “mmmmpppphhh” into her gag.
  
  Madeline walked over and said to Jess, “if you’re just going to walk into  people then what’s the point in us leaving this hood down”, she said as she took  the blue waterproof hood and pulled it up over Jess’s face. The hood was  tightened and then the other two hoods were pulled over the top of it.
  
  Jess was now sealed into the waterproofs once more but this time she was  required to walk along the dirt track. Luckily with Roberta tugging on one of  the leashes in front of her she could vaguely tell which way to go, though she  regularly stumbled over rocks on the track and would then receive a beating  from Sophie in exchange.
  
  Eventually after many hours of walking Jess heard the other girls mention the  car park and her stumbling was brought to a halt. At last they were here and  hopefully soon they would be picked up by one of the other teachers. That would  mean the other girls would have to untie her and she would be able to take all  these jackets off.
  
  She could feel her arms being untied and the shoulder bags being disconnected  and taken off. She could hear voices but wasn’t sure who it was, surely the  teacher couldn’t have arrived yet could she? She wouldn’t have let Jess remain  like this if she had.
  
  She felt someone undo the hood of the brown Arcteryx jacket, and then the hood  of the blue Arcteryx jacket. Finally the hood of the blue jacket over her face  was removed and Jess felt cool air hit her.
  
  Jess looked at the girls standing in front of her. Next to Madeline was  somebody new, somebody she didn’t recognise. The girl was a few years older  than them, and was leaning against a large car with her arms folded and a smirk  across her face.
  
  “Have you met my sister, Jess?” said Madeline, with a wicked grin across her  face. And at that point Jess realised this was far from over.
