The Unraveling by Emily Chapter 20 The two naked girls crept down the hall, their bodies pressed together as they navigated the dimly lit corridor. Riley felt a sense of detachment from the situation, as if she were watching it all unfold from afar. She could feel Lily's breath on her neck, the gentle rise and fall of her chest against her back. The air was thick with anticipation, and every step they took seemed to bring them closer to whatever fate awaited them. As they rounded a corner, they heard a door open further down the hall. Their hearts skipped a beat, and they instinctively pressed themselves against the wall, trying to become one with the shadows. They heard footsteps approaching, and their breathing grew shallow, their bodies tense. It was then that they realized they were holding hands, their fingers intertwined in a desperate show of solidarity. The footsteps grew louder, and a figure emerged from the darkness: a tall, athletic girl with short-cropped hair and a confident stride. She glanced in their direction, her eyes widening as she took in the sight of the two naked girls pressed against the wall. For a moment, there was silence, and then she let out a low, throaty laugh. Riley and Lily exchanged nervous glances. The girl walked over to them, her eyes lingering on their bodies before meeting theirs. "Well, well, well," she drawled. "Looks like we've got ourselves some of the unlucky freshmen.” "Um, hi?" Riley said, trying to sound confident despite her nerves. "Well, hello there," the older girl said, stepping closer. "You must be the freshmen I've heard so much about." She smiled, and there was something predatory in the expression. "You know, I was sort of hoping I'd get the chance to meet some of you. You see, I'm a little bit of a... leader around here. And it's important for me to know everyone who's new." Riley glanced at Lily, feeling a mixture of fear and confusion. "Um, yeah. Hi," she managed to say. "We just wanted to find our room." The older girl laughed, a cold, cruel sound that sent shivers down Riley's spine. "Oh, I'm sure you did," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "But you can’t be walking around here like this, can you?" She gestured toward their naked bodies, and Lily let out a shuddering breath. The girl stepped even closer, her face just inches from Riley's. "Now, I could just turn you over to the dean and have you both punished," she whispered, her hot breath tickling Riley's ear. "But that seems like such a waste. You're both so... young and fresh. And I'm feeling a bit generous today." She smiled, her lips curling into a predatory sneer. Lily swallowed hard, her eyes fixed on the older girl's face, darting back and forth between her piercing gaze and her full, pouty lips. "Um, okay..." she managed to say. The older girl stepped back, her posture shifting as she assumed a more dominant stance. Riley felt a mixture of fear and arousal course through her veins as she watched the girl's every move. The older girl pointed toward a nearby wall, her expression stern. "Bend over," she commanded. Riley's heart raced, but she obeyed, her body tensing as she leaned forward. Lily hesitated for a moment, glancing between the older girl and Riley, but when the girl gave her a warning look, she too bent over. The older girl walked around them, her fingers trailing across their exposed bottoms as she searched for the perfect spot to spank them. "Ah, here we go," she murmured, pressing her palm against Lily's soft, round cheek. There was a loud slap as she connected with Lily's flesh, making her yelp in surprise. Riley bit her lip, her own bottom tensing in anticipation of what was to come. The older girl spanked them both hard and fast, each smack echoing through the hallway. Riley's bottom felt like it was on fire, and she was sure she could feel the imprint of the older girl's hand on her skin even after the spanking had stopped. She struggled to breathe through the stinging pain, tears streaming down her face. Lily let out a muffled sob with each spank, her body trembling from the shock and the ache. The older girl seemed to grow more and more aggressive with each strike, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she punished them. It felt like an eternity before the spanking finally stopped, leaving both girls gasping for air and struggling to regain their composure. The older girl stepped back, her chest heaving as she watched them try to catch their breath. "There," she said, her voice still cold and cruel. "That should teach you a lesson." She gestured for them to stand up, and they both slowly rose to their feet, rubbing their burning bottoms. As they stood there, naked and humiliated, the older girl regarded them with a mixture of amusement and contempt. "Now get out of here," she snapped. "And don't let me catch you two in this kind of situation again." Her words hung in the air like a threat as she turned and walked away, leaving the two girls alone once more. Riley and Lily exchanged a shaky glance, their bodies still tingling from the pain of the spanking. They both knew that they had been lucky; the older girl could have easily done far worse to them. They silently made their way down the hall to Riley's room, their steps slow and uncertain. When they finally reached the door, Riley's hand trembled as she reached for the knob. She glanced over her shoulder, half expecting the older girl to appear and scold them again. But the hallway was empty. She turned back to Lily, who was watching her with wide, frightened eyes. "Are you okay?" Riley asked, her voice barely a whisper. Lily nodded, but she still looked shaky. Riley opened the door and they both slipped inside, closing it quietly behind them. The familiar scent of Riley's room was a welcome relief after the cold hallway air. They both collapsed onto Riley's bed, breathing heavily. Lily curled into a ball, her arms wrapped around her knees, as if trying to protect herself from the world. Riley lay on her back, staring up at the ceiling, her heart racing. The pain from their spankings throbbed in time with their heavy breathing. After a few moments of silence, they finally heard the sound of the door opening. They both turned their heads to see Ellie, Aria, and Claire enter the room. The girls exchanged worried glances as they took in the sight of Riley and Lily curled up on the bed, their bottoms still stinging from the spanking. "Hey, what happened?" Ellie asked, her voice low and concerned. "Did you two get in trouble?" Riley and Lily exchanged glances, their faces flushing with shame. Riley swallowed hard before speaking. “Some older girl caught us walking back to our room... She spanked us both for it. It really hurt." Her voice broke on the last word, tears beginning to well up in her eyes. “Who?” Ellie asked, her eyes narrowing in anger. Riley looked at Lily, who was still sniffling, and nodded at her to explain. "She was... tall," Lily started, her voice shaky. "And athletic. Really strong. She had short hair." Riley and Lily glanced at each other, remembering the way the older girl had spanked them, the pain radiating through their bottoms like fire. Ellie's expression darkened. "That sounds like Sarah," she muttered under her breath. Aria and Claire exchanged worried glances. They knew who Sarah was; she had a reputation for being mean and bullying the younger girls. "Well, we can't just let her get away with that," Ellie said, her voice determined. "She's going to pay for what she did to you two." The other girls nodded in agreement. "But how?" Lily asked, her voice still shaky. "She's so much stronger than us." Ellie nodded, but her expression was determined. "We can think of something. We'll come up with a plan." “In the meantime, how did your tasks go today, Lily and Riley?" Claire asked, trying to distract them from their worries about Sarah. Riley and Lily looked at each other, then back at Claire. "Um, they were okay," Riley said. "We managed to get them done." "Come on, spill the details," Aria prodded, her eyes glinting with mischief. "We want to know everything." Riley took a deep breath and began recounting the events of their day, starting from their daring adventure in the library to the nerve-wracking waxing session. She felt a blush creep up her neck as she described the intimate moments they shared, but she forced herself to continue. Lily nodded along, adding her own details here and there, filling in the gaps for their friends. As they spoke, Ellie's eyes gleamed with excitement, while Aria looked intrigued and Claire seemed amused. They listened intently, hanging on to every word, as Riley and Lily described their day in vivid detail. The room felt electric with the thrill of their adventure, and for a moment, it was almost as if they were reliving it themselves. “Now stand up so we can all see your new hairless pussy, Riley," Ellie said, grinning wickedly. Riley blushed even deeper, but did as she was told. She stood up, her heart pounding in her chest as she revealed her bare, smooth mound to the group of girls. "Oh my god, it's so smooth!" Aria exclaimed, reaching out to touch it. Her fingers traced over Riley's pink lips, and Riley couldn't help but shiver at the sensation. "It's like touching velvet." "I can't believe you actually did it," Claire said, a mix of awe and amusement in her voice. "You were really brave." She gave Riley a proud smile. “You two did a fantastic job today," Ellie assured them, a note of admiration in her voice. "Not only did you complete your tasks, but you also faced some real challenges and came out on top." She glanced at each of them in turn, a look of genuine pride on her face. “We have one more task for you two," Claire announced, a glint of mischief in her eye. "And it's the most difficult one yet. It's a challenge that will push you both to your limits.” “If you do well, it could have some very nice rewards," Claire continued, her voice lowering to a seductive purr. "But if you fail, the consequences will be... severe." She paused dramatically, letting the weight of her words sink in. “You may get dressed for now. Meet us in this room tonight at eight o'clock sharp," Claire said, her voice steady despite the excitement she felt. "And remember, this is the most important task yet. The stakes are higher than ever before. You must be prepared to face any challenge that comes your way."
