CHAPTER 6 — THE KNIGHTMARE IS A WOMAN‽
“Awake at last, are you?” were the first words Sam heard when he regained consciousness 10 minutes later. “Well, I presume you’ve seen what you wanted to see of me by now, so I’ll just go and get dressed again… Oh, wait, you’ve somehow hidden all my clothes somewhere, haven’t you? Naughty boy. You know what that means, don’t you, little Sam?”
“You’re stuck naked like this until you find some more?” he suggested, hopefully, knowing full well what was next in his plan would not be materially affected by his later-than-intended return home.
“No!” she replied, “No. It means I’m entitled to yours.”
“Mine? But they won’t fit you!”
“Won’t they? Oh, won’t they?” she asked, tauntingly.
“What…? What have I missed? How long was I asleep?” Sam asked, worriedly.
“Oh, only 10 minutes, don’t worry. But I found a curious object on the ground near where you fell. Do you recognise this?” she asked, holding up…Sam’s orange ring!
“Well, how would that help?” he asked, except that he of course knew the answer; he just hoped he—she
(Stop saying he, you fool!) wouldn’t.
“Well now, this here little ring’s been talking to me while you were asleep, little Sam, and, while it did enjoy the brief embarrassment of me being exposed like this in front of you, it was also very annoyed with you for ruining its fun by falling from the tree.
“Now, we’ve been discussing ideas, and we’ve agreed that the best way to punish for disappointing us both is… to make you suffer the same fate you’d planned for me. (Bet you’d forgotten you’d already told Mr. Orange here all your plans, hadn’t you? Whoops!

)
“Normally I’d at least do you the courtesy of having another man
(though you barely qualify as one) be the one to disrobe you, but, well… You know as well as I do why I have no staff at the moment, don’t you? Bet you’re really regretting that now, eh?” she chuckled evilly, ready to enact her own revenge on the snivelling creep who had befouled her plans far too many times. “I’m going to enjoy this,” she finished, and Sam could literally hear the evil dripping from her voice.
“You, er, want m-my c-c-clothes?” Sam stuttered.
“Yes. Now hurry and get them off you. Or would you rather I did it for you? ’Cause I warn you, I will not be gentle about it!”
Noticing the slight flaw in her plan, Sam replied (desperately keeping his excitement in check), “You know what? You’ve earnt this; you can remove my clothes from me, Knightmare.”
