A spot of blood dripped onto the floor. Isobel must have cut Felix's bottom lip when she had hit her. Soon a steady trickle of blood made tracks down Felix's face and chin.
"Got what you deserved didn't you bitch?" Roxy hissed.
"Roxy get out!" Isobel barked making Roxy jump out of her skin.
"But Mistress I........."
"Now! Before I have you tied up to the fucking whipping post!" Isobel screamed at her. For once Isobel's aggression was directed at someone other than Felix.
Roxy got up quietly and left, she could feel Isobel's eyes burning into her. Isobel looked at Felix and tentatively walked over to her.
"Shit, what have I done? Klein is gonna kill me." Isobel fretted as she studied Felix's wound. If Felix didn't know any better it sounded like Isobel actually cared. The cut didn't hurt; Felix couldn't feel it from the sedatives that were dulling the pain.
"Look at me!" Isobel demanded.
Felix lifted her head. Isobel breathed in sharply. She busted Felix's lip wide open. Isobel failed to notice Felix's arousal.
"Go on, hit me again, please, tell me what a dirty little bitch I am......" Felix thought to herself as she looked up at her Mistress.
Isobel removed Felix's chain and replaced it with a leash and looked Felix square in the eyes.
"Jesus Christ Klein is going to be so pissed when he sees this."
Isobel pulled on the leash and led her to the bathroom. She had never lost her cool and hit a slave like that before. One of the first things she was told when she arrived at the Order was to never punish a slave in anger. For the danger is that you can take it too far.
For once Felix obediently followed. She didn't care that Isobel had hurt her, or that she made her pleasure Roxy or that she humiliated her by showing her, her old contract. There was nothing she could do about that now. What's done is done. She knew what she was getting herself into when she signed herself over to Master Kane. She still didn't know why he had made arrangements for her if he should die. That she didn't understand. Felix had made her bed and now she had to lie in it. Felix just couldn't get over the fact that Isobel actually seemed to care about her now. She also didn't understand why her sex drive had to kick in at such an inappropriate time.
The bathroom was spacious and airy. The sink and bath were made with expensive marble and tile. Isobel was pulling very tightly onto the leash. Felix's arms were still bound behind her.
"Get in the bath." Isobel held Felix by the arm as she wordlessly stepped in and sat down.
It felt cold on Felix's bare skin. The injection she had Felix have definitely made her more obedient Isobel decided. Felix wasn't going to resist anyway, she wasn't stupid. What good would that do? She didn't want to go back down into the cells again, no way. If she could just bide her time Felix would soon be with Klein. Isobel gently unbound Felix's arms from behind her back and then secured them again in front of her.
"Don't you dare fucking try anything." Isobel warned.
Isobel ran the hot tap and soaked a flannel underneath it. She gently dabbed Felix's lip to clean all the blood away. The silence hung in the air. They both felt like they should say something. She rinsed the flannel and began to wipe Felix's face and chin. How was she going to explain this to Klein? He owned her as well. She would have to get the doctor to look at her.
Isobel noticed something. Thin white lines criss-crossing their way up Felix's fore arm. Scars. Felix had a rough time in her teens. Coming to terms with the way she felt, feeling ashamed. She got into drink and drugs. She hadn't done any of that since she entered slave training, after that her body wasn't hers to scar or abuse. Felix caught Isobel staring. Felix held out her arm for her to see. There was no point in hiding it.
"They're just scars." Felix said quietly as she traced the faint lines with her fingers.
"What...when did you do that?" Isobel stared at her arm. Felix took a deep breath.
"Years ago." Felix replied, she looked sad as she began to remember her life before. She didn't want to remember.
Isobel stared at her. There really was more to this slave than she realised. Fresh blood trickled from Felix's lip.
"Oh shit!" Isobel put the flannel to the wound to stop the blood flow.
Felix leant back in the bath. She felt so tired, she closed her eyes. What a fucking day this was turning out to be she thought to herself.
"Lean forward, if I don't stop the blood flow you'll just keep bleeding." Concern was showing in Isobel's voice.
With great effort Felix leant forward towards Isobel. Isobel's tight black blouse hugged her curves perfectly in all the right places. Her light brown hair cascaded over her face. She had the same brilliant blue eyes as her sister Faith. She was beautiful. Felix couldn't hate her forever.
"You can tell him you hit me in self-defence if you want." Felix said quietly. "He'd believe you."
Isobel was taken aback. She wasn't sure if she could do that. She wasn't sure what to say.
"I....I....I need to get the doctor to look at you." She said finally. She couldn't figure out why Felix was willing to cover for her after everything she did to her. Isobel stood up and tugged on the leash.
"Come on. Get up."
Wordlessly Felix got out of the bath and followed Isobel out of the bathroom and into the hallway. Isobel kept looking over her shoulder at Felix expecting her to protest or put up a fight. Felix knew it wasn't worth it. The terrifying thought entered Felix's mind that they would definitely put her back downstairs after this. They'd sedate her all over again. If only Isobel knew how horny she had made her, how much she wanted Isobel to give her some release. Felix cursed her sex drive for kicking in at such an inappropriate time. Isobel led her down the grand staircase. Felix stopped. Isobel felt the tug on the leash and turned round at Felix.
"Please...please don't put me back down there." Felix sounded desperate.
Isobel felt so confused, earlier she was hell bent on getting this slave put away for good and now she was worried that they actually would have her put away for good. The worst thing for Isobel was that she cared about Felix now. She looked at the scared slave. Her hair was a mess with blood dripping down her chin onto her body, her breasts heaved with each heavy breath. "Please...." Felix swallowed hard, " Mistress."
"It'll be okay." Isobel said quietly. But she wasn't sure if it would be okay, she didn't know.
Felix's stomach began to churn as she was lead into one of the lounges. It was early evening now and a few Dominants were having after dinner drinks.
Klein looked up from the kneeling Roxy at his feet to the sorry sight of Felix being led in by Isobel. Roxy shot them daggers. He quickly stood up as they walked over to him. He looked Felix up and down.
"What happened?" he asked, alarmed. Taking in the sight of his slave's bruised lip.
"Sit girl." Isobel said quietly to Felix and she immediately knelt at her feet. Klein raised one eyebrow; Felix was actually obeying Isobel now? Felix stared hard at the floor. What the fuck I am doing? I should let her take the fucking fall. Dammit...They could put me back for this... Suddenly she felt Klein holding up her chin so he could get a good look at her mouth. She couldn't hear what Isobel was saying, her voice seemed distant.
"She was getting out of hand..... I had no other choice......" Isobel said uncomfortably.
"Are you okay Isobel? You should have called one of the valets..."
"Look I'm fine, I got her back under control, and she's behaving herself now as you can see. I just want to have her lip looked at.......we don't need to do anything else...." Isobel couldn't quite look him in the eye.
"As long as you're sure you're alright," Klein sighed. "I'll have him give her another injection."
Felix's eyes widened. Christ not another injection, she looked over at Isobel who was chewing her fingernails.
Isobel's heart sank. She felt really bad now. This was all her fault.
"She's...she's behaving herself now..."
Felix started to panic, she was looking at Roxy who was mouthing "Ha ha bitch," at her. Felix was wondering where Fern was, wondering if she was okay. But that would have to wait. She felt the two valets stand either side of her and hold her arms as they pulled her up. They followed Klein and Isobel into another room, holding tightly onto Felix as they walked. They took her into the same room she was in before, the one with the cage. The valets pushed Felix down into a kneeling position on the floor, she looked over at Isobel, she was fiddling with the button on her blouse. Isobel sat down on the plush leather sofa and rubbed her temples. She couldn't even look Felix in the eye she felt so guilty. She shouldn't have lost it and hit Felix like that. Isobel saw what Roxy was doing out the corner of her eye, she was lingering in the doorway. Isobel's blood began to boil.
"Get out of this fucking room right now you little whore!" Isobel seethed.
Roxy jumped out her skin and scurried out of the room. Roxy cursed under her breath, she wanted to see this, she wanted to see Felix suffer. She walked back to slave's quarters.
"Roxy has developed a bit of an attitude." Klein tutted.
"I don't know Klein do you think another injection is really necessary?" Isobel looked at Klein as he sat down beside her.
"I know it's not ideal but it's what we need to do right now. Besides you've certainly changed your tune. You wanted her dosed up all the time before."
"I'm entitled to change my mind Klein...."
"Good evening everyone........" Felix shuddered when she heard his creepy German accent. Klein and Isobel both stood up.
"Sorry for calling you at such late notice Doctor, but we had a bit of an incident..." Klein gestured to Felix.
The Doctor put his medical bag on the coffee table and began to prepare the injection. Isobel was feeling really awful now as she stared at the large hypodermic needle laid out on the table
"No, no that's quite alright." The Doctor turned and walked over to Felix. "Let's have a look at our little patient then shall we."
The doctor leant down in front of her. Felix turned her head away from him. The Doctor tutted.
"Come on now be a good girl." He reached out and held her chin, making her face him.
"From what I can see the cut will heal by itself as long as it stays clean and dry, there will be a little bit of bruising. I'll put some sterilising solution on it."
