Alice's rest was dreamless, and opening her eyes, it felt like no time had passed whatsoever. She was certain that she was much more lucid than before she knocked out. None of the rampant thoughts about giving in and becoming a cow. She was determined to escape today. Looking around the room, the first thing she noticed was that the trough was gone. Momentarily scared that the abductor was present, she sighed in relief upon seeing that she was alone. A minute bit of security, in spite of everything. She got up on her fours and moved around the room, inspecting everything more thoroughly as she was waking up.
Each step made her tits wobble and dangle. She enjoyed the feeling, and the creeping horniness that came from it was pleasurable. She wanted to resist that for as long as she could though. The static desire for sex would sooner or later turn her brain back into mush, and if she was to have any chance of getting out, now was her time. Looking back to the holes in the wall in the corner, she tried to pry them open, but had no luck.
Alice pondered why they were kept there if she was only locked in them once. Her only restraint now was a slack rope which came from the wall by the door. She moved back to her old restraints and tried to unclasp them from their roots underneath the floor, but had no luck. Moving herself to the back wall of the room, she realized that the lock on the door was just, scarcely above where she would be able to reach while on her fours.
Perhaps the camera wouldn't see her at that angle? Alice reached a tentative hand up and was met by a painful tug at the collar on her neck. As she bowed herself back onto her hands and knees, though, the rope didn't stop tugging. The thing pulled her back, almost causing her to flip over, until she was right in front of it. She tried to resist it, throwing herself against it, but that force only made her gag as the rope restrained her even tighter. A loud thud from above told her that her captor knew of this attempt to escape.
The footsteps thumped down those stairs beyond the room, and around the halls. Alice was stuck, her head against the wall, unable to so much as barely move herself off of it.
The door opened, and the familiar face of the captor looked down at her. He tutted, and said simply, "Of course she's antsy. First thing in the morning, cows need to be milked."
The matter-of-fact tone let her know that he wasn't talking to her, so much as he was talking about her. She snapped back at him, "Hey, fucko, I'm not a..." He glared down at her and the rope gave a quick, harsh tug. Alice was nearly slammed into the wall, but caught herself and noticed that he held some sort of remote in his pocket.
"Now that's funny, I swear I heard that cow talking." He bent down on a knee, flicking the remote out, grinning, and asked, "Here girl, what's going on? You scared, you anxious? It's your first day here. First day of the rest of your life."
She breathed hard and took her chance. She lunged forward to grab the remote. Her fingers barely touched it before he pushed some button on it and she was held hard against the wall. He frowned and got up.
"Bad girl. Bad, bad girl." He tutted again and mused, "Cows are assholes when they need to be milked. Or fucked. Or fed. Needy bitches."
He pulled the riding crop from his belt and smacked it hard against his leather boots. The snap resounded through the room.
"Now. Girl. Do cows talk?" Alice stared angrily at him, trying to vocalize, but the tight rope at her neck made any speech difficult. She started to say, "I am not a cow," but was greeted by a strike from the crop at the bottom of her ribcage.
"Silly thing." Two more in quick succession, then more and more. Each time they hit her, she felt it ringing across her body. She felt a bizarre mix of hatred, shame, pleasure, and pain. Her tits jiggled with each strike, and the creeping image of what she must look like made the situation even more shameful to her.
"Bad, little girl. Trying to resist like that." He breathed deeply and instructed her once, "Yield, and be rewarded. Resist, and be punished." He levied one final smack against her rump, and continued to speak at her.
"Now, girl, let's get you to your restraints so you may be milked properly." He reached down for the neck restraint and disconnected it from the wall. Alice was weary from the punishment she'd just been given, and couldn't muster enough to resist.
"Good, good good girl." Her captor gingerly guided her back to the leg restraints, and said simply, "Go on."
Alice slid her legs in, and felt them tighten again. It was almost comforting, truly. The captor snapped the neck restraint into some unseen lock above her, and walked out of the room. She looked behind her, nervous that she had been abandoned in her old restraints, taken further from freedom. He came back moments later with a large duffel bag, setting it down by the door before grabbing a few more implements from outside the room.
Alice took a deep sigh and tried to use this time to dwell and think on what had gotten her here. What had happened that night that spiraled out of control into this.
While she tried to recall, the abductor started to set everything up around Alice. He started by pulling her back up onto her knees, allowing her, for the first time in over a day, to hold her head up above her body. It was a strange feeling, and Alice watched as the man setup the contraption beneath her. The first item was a brace to hold her body up. Wood and metal and soft cushy fabric in the shape of a sort of stockade. There were leather straps to hold her wrists and head down, all adjustable for whoever was put in them. The man held her wrist against it, and measured out how far he would need to stretch her, ratcheting the straps into position.
The device was medieval, with two distinct design themes dancing around each other. One, an almost Victorian, high-class aesthetic, shown in the finery of the wood, the craftwork on the metal struts, and the soft cushion on it. The other, more vulgar, designed to look suitable only for cattle: a farmhand's leather straps and cow-print on the cushion.
Once it was adjusted to her proportions, the man stood up, and inserted a few bolts into the floorboard, locking the device down. He walked back to the door and returned with a second block, this one to hold up her midsection. A similar process of analyzing Alice's dimensions, making slight adjustments, and finally sealing it into the ground, and he was onto the final piece of work to be added to her prison: an unknown device situated behind her.
