"Shale...? This just seems like a storage area, what is it that you want to show me here?" Sphene's voice was laced with confusion as she and Shale ventured down the old, seemingly run-down street, devoid of any people, or life in general for that matter.
"Oh, you'll see in a moment!" Shale responded, almost a little too cheerfully, as they finally entered one of the buildings, with Sphene being ushered in front, into a seemingly dark and empty room...were it not for the person sitting in one of the corners; Shale...half-naked, bound, gagged and blindfolded!
"Shale!? How did-HEY!" Sphene exclaimed, in confusion and sudden anger, as she suddenly felt her arms be not only pulled together behind her back, but swiftly bound in coils of thick rope.
"Y-you're not Shale at all! Release us this instant!" Sphene attempted to command, only for it to fall on deaf ears as 'Shale' simple continued to restrain her, binding her arms, her legs, her ankles, all the while with a cruel and almost uncanny smile, made all the worse by her total lack of words.
"You won't get away with this....you'll no-UMMMMFFF! Mhhhh!" Sphene then let out, for just as she was about to give the doppelganger a proper earful, the doppelganger had suddenly wrapped a thick cloth around her mouth, silencing her words perfectly.
"Yhhmm fmmnd! Lmmff ummhff ghmm!" Was all the captive lady was able to force out, as she was carefully forced down besides the real Shale....and then have a second cloth cover her eyes too...
