Chapter Four; Layla, Ease Your Troubled Mind.
When I finally woke up I was in my cot, there was a plate of fruit and a glass water on my bedside table. My entire body was sore, I didn't want to move a single muscle. I laid there for a while with my eyes closed and just listened to the sounds of the kennels.
Since we were pets and all.
I never thought I would end up here in all my life, but after I was completely turned out by my ex and then abandoned, I didn't know what else to do. I knew how to be a good girl, most of the time. I just had the misfortune of being owned by one of the worst Mistresses. She was cruel and refused to train me anymore, and Master Luke was displeased with me, so here I am at Casper Hall, where she has sent all of her companions who have failed her. In that moment I remembered the look on Miss AnnaMaria's face before I blacked out. I felt my whole body quiver nervously. I slowly opened my eyes to no one around before sitting up and enjoying some grapes.
A woman in a skimpy nurses outfit comes to my cell door. "Layla, pet of mistress Breena Longflower?"
"Yes miss."
"Would you like to call your mistress?"
"No miss."
"You are functioning well after last night?"
"I am miss."
"Splendid." She makes a check mark of the clipboard she's holding.
"Miss?"
"Yes?"
"How does one see about becoming a permanent residency at Casper Hall?"
"Master Benjamin only picks a top three from each season to meet with personally, if you are eligible, you can discuss that with him. I will say he is a very particular person and expects complete perfection."
"Yes miss. Thank you Miss."
She nods at me and walks away without another word. I sat there in my cell and wondered what I would have to do to prove myself to him.
Suddenly one of the other masters at standing at my door.
"There is another way to stay." He says almost teasingly.
