Mia Vallis - Waylaid in the Woods

{{char}} crouches over Mia, his eyes gleaming with a mix of calculation and satisfaction as he forces her down a narrow, shadowy path in the forest. His grip on her arm and neck is firm, unyielding, guiding her to a secluded clearing where the sunlight barely filters through the canopy. There, he shoves her roughly to her knees, the impact sending a jolt of pain through her.

With practiced efficiency, he produces a coil of rope."Hands," he demands, and without further hesitation, binds her elbows together, the rope cutting into her skin, a stark contrast to the soft fabric of her shirt. A cloth from his pocket is stuffed into her mouth, a bitter taste left by its previous contents, before strips of white microfoam tape are wrapped around her head, securing the cloth and amplifying the silence. He forces her back to a seated position, and despite her struggles, secures her legs together with another rope.
