Note: RATED-R; THIS IS A VERY MATURE STORY. Later parts will involve sexual acts and various tortures. Do not read if you can't handle it.
It was only noon when Iris arrived in Hay-on-Wye. She stopped in the small town for petrol and a quick lunch, but she was quickly distracted by all of the used bookstores and antique shops all over the town. She walked into one particularly large shop and was sucked into the scents of elderly books piled high on shelves that reached from floor to ceiling. She peered through every shelf and glanced through many books, getting lost among the pages.
Not too far away, a gentleman who was very well-known in town was in the shop, looking through a stack of new arrivals. He stood well over six feet, very heavy, yet had the muscular arms and tan skin of a farmer. Iris took little notice of him, other than to marvel at the man's size. She had yet to see someone so large in Great Britain, honestly.
Iris found a prize among the stacks of books: Perfect Victim: The True Story of "The Girl in the Box", a book Iris had been looking for for a very long time. She was a psychology major in the United States, working towards a Ph.D in forensic psychology. She had studied the case of the "girl in the box" and it fascinated her to no end. She could not even imagine what it would be like to be treated as a sex slave for any amount of time, let alone seven whole years.
She bought the book stepped past the large man as she exited the store. He nodded to her as she past, and she smiled politely. "Good afternoon," he said to her, making her stop. "New in town?" He had an American accent, which really surprised her.
"Just passing through," she told him.
"Visiting the country, are you?"
"Yes, I'm on vacation."
"Hope you're enjoying yourself." He made a gesture, like he tipped an imaginary hat, and continued on into the back of the store. Iris walked on out of the store cheerfully, although wondering about the large man. She did figure he wasn't European.
A few hours of excursions among the bookstores and antique shops of Hay-on-Wye had brought Iris to a nice little antique shop on the edge of town. Inside were fun little trinkets, a very nice-looking silver dagger that her boyfriend, Aaron, would have loved, and other various fun things. She saw among the tourist information a little town just a few miles outside of Hay-on-Wye in which the stores there, all of which were also bookshops, had sales. Excited, Iris got into her rentle car and drove out to the town, Corrindale.
Corrindale was a small farming town, so small, if one blinked while passing through, they'd miss it. There was a post office, a small coffee shop and three shops. Iris parked her Miata and walked into the first bookshop she saw, The Keeper.
The shop was very small, much smaller than the shops in Hay-on-Wye, but already bosted many great jems: first editions and rarities that one could find no where else. The shopkeeper, a slight man with short, dark hair and dark eyes, sat behind the counter, working away on a very old yet efficient computer. "Good afternoon," he called to her when she walked in, but said nothing else.
Iris dove into the books, looking at everything, even the strange romance novels in the back. One that caught her attention was a very strange novel in which the girl in the story was kidnapped and held hostage by a very horny man. Although the plot was a bit twisted, Iris decided to buy it. She held onto it as she glanced over every other book in the store. She was in fact so emersed in her little world that she did not notice the delivery man pull up and block the entrance until she decided to leave.
"Just head out the back," the shopkeeper said after ringing up her purchase. He had a nice Welsh accent, but it wasn't very strong. Iris, for reasons unknown to herself, very much enjoyed thick Welsh accents, and that was precisely she had decided to take her vacation in Wales, even if it meant she had to be away from her boyfriend for two weeks, as he couldn't get the time off work. Just before she left, they had gotten into an argument about her going, which left her in a foul mood until they spoke on the phone a few nights later.
As she walked out, she didn't notice the man waiting just outside the door. He was the same large man from Hay-on-Wye, and he had been following Iris all day. Now, in the dim light of dusk, in the back of a small bookshop, he approached her, called to her. She turned, and just as she did, she was met in the face with a fruity scent, but then fell into black unconsciousness.
