Silica in A Tickly Trap

A Trap, and Tickles

*This story takes place inside SAO. The game, I mean.*
*Also, trying writing a little differently this time because why not*

Silica is walking through a forest, looking for monsters to fight so she can get some XP. She had left Pina back at in inn room, as she wanted to try and fight things on her own for once. She chose a low level area, so she knew it'd be safe enough to explore alone. Once she got deep into the forest, she began hunting for monsters. Before she could find even one though,

Snap!

She stepped on a vine, which triggered a trap!

"W-Woah! AHHH!"

She yelled out in surprise as some vines grabbed at her wrists and ankles, lifting her up into the air. They tied her ankles together and pulled her arms out, making her body into a "T" position. She tried to struggle free, but couldn't escape their grip. Plus she dropped her dagger!

"H-Hey!! I-I'm stuck! Let me go!"

She shouted at the vines, despite their likelyness to hit listen to her. However, someone else listened. A hooded girl nearby heard her shouts and began coming towards her. When she saw the poor girl suspended a couple feet off the air, she grinned.

"Ohhhh. Hehe.. This could be fun."

She talked to herself as she continued making her way to Silica through the trees.

"S-Somebody help me! Anybody!"

She had resorted to shouting out for any players nearby, and luckily one heard her of course. Clair made her way into Silica's view. She waves hello as she approaches the girl.

"Hello, miss. Hehe, you seem to be a bit stuck at the moment, huh?"

"Y-Yes.. C-Could you help me down?"

Silica asked the stranger as she struggled around in the vine's grip on her.

"Hmm, maybe. I think I'll be helping myself more than anything though, hehe."

The stranger grinned as she got closer to Silica.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

"Silica... Wait, what are you going to do?!"

The girl smiled and continued on, as if the question wasn't all that important.

"Nice to meet you, Silica. My name's Clair. Don't worry, I won't be doing anything bad. Well, not really at least."

Clair was now right next to Silica, and poked her right side, wondering how she'd react. The reaction was exactly what she wanted. A giggle.

"Hehe! What'd you do that for?"

"Juuust testing something is all. Tell me, Silica. Are you by any chance.. ticklish?"

Silica suddenly seemed nervous.

"Y-Yes... why?"

A smile spread across Clair's face.

"Oh no reason. It just means we're going to have lots of fun together."

The pieces seemed to click together in Silica's head now, and she didn't like it.

"Oh no... Don't tell me you're gonna..."

Clair brought her fingers up to Silica's side, and began to spider them around, tickling her lightly.

"Yep, you guessed it. Tickle tickle~"

"Hehehehehe! Hey! S-Stop ihihihit! Hehehe!"

Silica's reaction was a bunch of adorable giggling, which Clair loved the sound of!
