“MY LEG, MY LEG!” Xander groaned. They had managed to get off the highway and into the back roads leading to the forest. They were still far from home, but at last, out of danger, except for the rescued damsel.

Ruby, recalling her nursing classes, quickly assessed his condition. “It doesn’t look like a fracture, but it’s definitely a nasty hit... Oh, wait. DAMN IT.” she cursed upon finding something in his left leg. “What? What is it?” Xander asked, alarmed.

“Don’t move.” Ruby instructed. “It’s a glass shard. You must have embedded it in your leg when you fell onto the trampoline.” she explained, pulling out a gauze pad from her bag. “I can’t treat this properly; we need to take you to a hospital.” she said as she prepared to immobilize the shard.

“No. No way.” Xander protested. After everything that had happened that day, all he wanted was to go home. Without thinking, he hastily yanked out the piece of glass, believing it would prevent a hospital visit where curious eyes would be everywhere.

Instantly, a wet sensation spread over his leg. “NO, YOU IDIOT!” Ruby shouted. “GIRLS, WE NEED TO APPLY PRESSURE!” Xander didn’t understand what was happening until he touched his leg, where warm liquid was pooling rapidly. He lifted his hand and saw it coated in an unmistakable red liquid.

Xander collapsed onto the forest floor, feeling an eerie cold creep up his body. The girls were frantically exchanging words, but he couldn’t make out what they were saying. In an instant, everything faded into darkness.

It was like a lucid dream, except there was nothing there, just an endless void of darkness. A sudden breeze made him aware of gravity, his entire body feeling heavier than it should.

Then, suddenly, there was light, a blinding light. Xander squinted his eyes, and once they adjusted, he took in his surroundings. He was in a small room. Daylight streamed in through a high, narrow window. He lay in a small bed, surrounded by old, heavy-looking cabinets, a few stacked boxes, and a chair placed in front of the bed.

“This place is weird.” he muttered, trying to sit up, but something stopped him. He looked down at his legs. Something was restricting his movement. A dull pain flared in that area each time he tried to move.

He pulled back the white sheet. Underneath, his left leg was trapped in a strange metal contraption, chained to the bed. Xander’s scream echoed down the hallway of that mysterious place.

He desperately tried to free himself, but the chain was sturdy, refusing to budge. The pain in his leg discouraged him from struggling further. Taking deep breaths, he tried to think of an alternative.

With a clearer mind, he examined the contraption. It consisted of metal rings clamped around his thigh and just above his knee, connected by thick metal rods. Soft, cushion-like protrusions pressed against his leg. Like a strange, handcrafted splint.

Beneath it, bandages covered the spot where the glass had pierced him. The fabric was stained. The chain was short but solid, with one end wrapped around a metal rod and the other secured to the bed frame, both locked with small padlocks.

He took a moment to check the rest of his body. The gag, tights, and skirt were gone, but he still wore the wig. The leotard remained snug on his body, even keeping the stuffed bra that gave the illusion of breasts. Xander tried to remove it, but it clung tightly to his skin.

Other minor bandages covered his arms and legs. When he touched those areas, he felt a faint sting. “Probably just scrapes.” he murmured, his throat aching.

Suddenly, the door opened. Marian and Daniel entered. The latter looked relieved to see Xander was awake. “Where… where am I?” he asked. “In the basement of our apartment complex.” Marian replied.

“Why is this thing on my leg?” His throat pain forced him to lower his voice. “When we got back here, Ruby stitched up your wound. She’s at her part-time job now, but she said it was a good idea to immobilize the area.” she explained.

“You’ll need to see a doctor. But that will have to wait.” Marian sat in the chair, settling in for a conversation. “You could have just left me at a hospital from the start. What am I doing here?” he muttered, avoiding Marian’s gaze.

“As you know, a lot happened yesterday. Things that we all set into motion.” she began. “We handed you over to the fraternity guys because we thought it was only fair for you to feel what we felt when you harassed us.” Daniel added.

“We want to propose that we all move on from this. You will never harass another girl again, and we won’t take any more action against you.” Marian offered, though it seemed like a ridiculous deal.

“Do you have any idea what they were about to do to me? You expect me to just forget that?” he objected angrily. “You wanted us to forget what you did to us.” Marian countered. “And if I don’t accept? What, are you going to keep me here like a prisoner?” Xander scoffed.

“No. But the girls and I can gather countless accusations and funds to file a class-action lawsuit against you. We wouldn’t escape unscathed from a lawsuit you might file against us, but you wouldn’t either.” Marian explained, crossing her legs.

“Laws against violence toward women are much harsher than those against men. Plus, the constitution grants us lighter sentences than you would get. Considering you have multiple victims; things will be much harder for you. It would be such a scandal that even your father’s connections wouldn’t help.” Daniel nodded, standing behind his sister.

“Go ahead. Sue us, and we’ll all end up in prison. But while we’ll serve only a few months or years and get our lives back on track, you’ll have decades left to serve. You’ll rot in some dark cell.” Marian never broke eye contact with him.

Xander fell silent. His ego screamed at him to lash out, to hit her. But the fresh sensation of vulnerability, something entirely new to him. It filled him with fear. If she was right, it was all over. Not only would he be locked away in a horrible place, but his future would be ruined. His father’s reputation and his own would be destroyed.

“Fine.” Xander said after a long sigh. “It’s a deal.” He extended his hand, and Marian shook it. She smiled in satisfaction. They had secured Xander’s silence and resolved the mess they had dragged all the girls into.

Filing a lawsuit from the start had been the right course of action, but Marian and Daniel had craved revenge. Too late, they realized their emotions had driven them to cross a red line.

While they could handle serving time, the other consequences; losing their university placements, derailing their life plans, and carrying a permanent stain on their records. It would be a price too high to pay. Neither side had anything to gain. Only everything to lose.

Daniel handed him the key to the chain. “For safety reasons, I think you should keep that metal thing on your leg for a while. Just return it later.” he said.

Xander stared at him for a moment. Daniel still looked like a girl; wearing an oversized hoodie, tight leggings, and his long hair tied in a ponytail draping over his right shoulder. He looked completely different from how Xander had interacted with him before.

“Daniel… is that really you?” Xander asked timidly, taking the key. “Danny” he responded instantly. “Yeah, it’s weird going to university as a girl when I’m actually a guy. It’s even against the law.” Danny scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

“Since no one manages things properly, and since it was part of our plan… I’ve been going like this for a couple of months, and no one’s noticed.” he chuckled nervously. “Now that we’ve settled… our differences, there’s no reason for me to keep doing it.” He concluded.

"You lived as a girl at university for two months just to get revenge on me... Was I really that bad?" Xander was finally beginning to realize the impact of his actions on others. "Of course. Crude jokes, groping, public humiliation. How did you never think that it bothered us?"

Xander fell silent out of shame and because he didn’t know what to say. Even he couldn’t understand how he had done all those things without ever stopping to think about it. A complete lack of responsibility for his actions.

As he searched deeper in his mind, he realized that he had never stopped to think about it. That was the answer. One that made him uncomfortable. He didn’t want to think about it.

“What about Tomas?” he asked as he freed his leg. “Ruby called us and confirmed that he’s the hospital. A few broken bones and several bruised.” Marian said as she took a bag from one of the cabinets and handed it to Xander. It contained male clothes.

“I mean…What are we going to do with him?” he asked as he put on a jacket. “The girls and I are done with him.” Marian answered. “But if you want to do something on your own. We won’t stop you. Just leave us out of it.” she added firmly before leaving the room with Daniel.

“Of course I will.” Xander muttered.
