Chapter 15 - The definition of fair
I went back to the kitchen to continue my chores Zach was at the table and had helped himself to a cup of coffee. I changed the water in Sophie's bowl and put out food. I waited for a few seconds to see her run in and start eating like usual and when she didn't I started walking around the house looking for her and called out her name. Master heard me and came out of his room. "Where is she," he asked tersely?
He quickly looked around getting more frantic and rushed to the front door. He opened the door and there she was on the front lawn. He called her and she started jumping up and down. I was naked and collared so I stayed behind the door as MJ went outside. He approached her as she playfully scooted away. It took him a few minutes before he could catch her - he then picked her up and carried her inside. He closed the door and put her down and she scampered directly to the food in the kitchen.
Master slammed the door, "who let her out', he snapped!
There was a moment of silence and he screamed again, "who the fuck let her out!"
There was another pregnant pause and then Zach piped up, "oh shit, she may have gotten out when I went to get the mail, sorry man."
"God damn it," he yelled.. "She could have run away or gotten hit by a car. Seth! Bedroom! Now!" I immediately obeyed and made a beeline for the bedroom. As I waited inside I hear him screaming, "what the fuck were you thinking?"
"I didn't notice..." Zach replied.
"Are you stupid? How many times does it have to happen before you pay attention. Wake the fuck up!"
With that he stormed into the bedroom. He approached me, held me with one hand, and punched me in the stomach. "Fuck," he screamed, "what was he thinking!"
He let go, pushing me away, then punched me again. Neither blow was a direct hit but they startled me and sent me falling back. He followed me and pushed me hard with both hands and caused me to fall to the floor. "Get up," he yelled. I felt a wave of fear come over me seeing that he was now focusing all his anger on me but I complied with his request and quickly got back up to me feet.
He roughly grabbed me again with both hands and shook me, "He's so stupid sometimes. He goes around oblivious to things around him. She could have gotten hurt." He shook me hard back and forth and again pushed me to the ground. I fell harder this time but instead of telling me to get up he started kicking me on the floor. He stopped yelling and turned his attention totally to me. He was still barefoot and his kicks landed onto my stomach and chest. I put my arms up to shield my face and he landed two more kicks then went down and straddled me sitting across my chest. His face was red and he started slapping me across the face.
