"Maid! Where is your ugly ass! Get over here!"
The maid stopped dusting, placing the feather duster on the cart as it tried to rapidly go to Mistress. The sixteen-inch chain stretching from ankle to ankle, attached to the six-inch heels locked onto maid's feet, made strides difficult. Still, maid was used to it enough to walk rapidly to find Mistress. As soon as it did, maid lowered eyes, dipped into a deep curtsey of respect, the see-through maid outfit held out a bit even though it was barely long enough to cover maid's ass. Maid had the required position down pat, even if it had to maintain the position until Mistress issued orders. Only then could maid do a quick curtsey, before obeying the command.
Terri jogged along the trail, enjoying the scenery as always. Jogging outdoors was her way to unstress, her way to unwind from lab work, her life in general. Like her fiancΓ©, the man who claimed to love her, yet according to what Terri discovered, had a girl on the side.
At twenty-seven, Terri had a job she loved, was already gaining a solid reputation in her chosen field, made good money, more than she anticipated when she got out of school. She also had a man who made her laugh, read her emotions well, and was a success in his own field, selling real estate. Her world was happy.
Then he started having appointments not in his appointment book, appointments that meant a lot of time away from Terri. As it progressed, Terri got concerned, more so when she often smelled the same perfume in his car. She didn't use perfume, not even fragrant soap, because of her lab work. Putting an apple tracker on the car, Terri found his latest appointment to show a house meant being parked in front of a hotel for two hours.
He left the hotel, arms around a redhaired woman with a snake tattoo on her left hand. Terri watched as Dan made a public fool of himself as he almost trotted to keep up with the woman's stride. Terri knew she needed to toss Dan out, end the relationship.
Her mind was on that up until she felt the pinch in her stomach. Looking down, she saw a feathered dart sticking out of her stomach as she slowed down, yanking it out before looking around. She didn't finish looking when she collapsed to the ground.
Terri woke up inside a metal box. She was naked, not even a hair clip left in place as she quickly established the metal box wasn't going to be busted down on brute strength. A grill was at the top of one end, the only source of light as she went to all fours to look outside the box. All she saw was light coming from a screen where colored swirls moved around the screen before an image of a garden appeared. The garden faded, the swirls came back, an image of a bird in flight appearing before the swirls returned. A soft voice was heard, repeating the same words.
Calm, happiness, peace, serenity.
It was the only thing said as Terri strained to hear only those words when an image appeared. Usually Terri did find those words when in a garden or watching nature soaring. Just not while in a steel box which seemed to be inside a steel walled room.
A door opened and closed, footsteps coming closer to the box. Terri looked out the grill as someone undid a lock, the end of the box opening. She remained on all fours, looking out to determine how best to fight whoever was behind this attack.
A robotic voiced for her to crawl out of her room. Terri remained where she was, wondering how long a stalemate would last. It lasted as long as it took for some jolt to her ass, making her jerk forward where a hand grabbed her hair, yanking her forward until she was out of the box. Terri swung a hand at the one in her hair, but her body jolted to the point she fell to the floor.
"Get up and back into position." The robotic voice calmly commanded.
"Where the hell am I?"
Terri's screech at the pain was the only reply as she was calmly informed only retaining position would stop the pain. As much as she tried to move, tried to lash out, the pain only remained, getting more intense the more she tried to get ahold of someone or something to fight back on. It ended when she passed out.
Terri woke, her body sore as she found herself back in the box.
Well, that got me a whole lot of nothing.
Terri looked out the grill, her stomach growling in hunger so she knew she had been here for some time. The screen had the swirls, the images this time showing furnished rooms from the perspective of a pet, at least it seemed that way as the images bobbled a bit. The soft voice was still there, offering calm, happiness, serenity, peace. Terri didn't see much of those as images of the room appeared from the floor's point of view.
The door opened and closed again, the cage door opening again. Terri was told to crawl out, her sore body doing so, Terri figuring cooperating might get her further than her first round which gave her no clue of what was going on.
Three figures stood around her, all wearing black loose ankle length cloaks, leather boots, leather gloves, and what might be black fencing masks under the hood. All held cattle prods, Terri realizing how they jolted her so much. Yeah, the wrong voltage would definitely zap her unconscious.
"Crawl to the hoop." The robotic voice commanded, Terri looking around to see a plastic hoop on the floor. Two of the figures moved the prods towards her, Terri crawling to the hoop, aware she was naked and crawling for others who were dressed so as to avoid determining a gender as they all seemed to be the same height and size.
Inside the hoop, the voice told her to stand, feet spread to the edge of the hoop, her arms behind her. She was informed, unless told otherwise, within this room, she was only allowed to stand when inside the hoop, outside the hoop she was to remain on hands and knees.
"Why? What's the purpose?"
She fell to the floor in pain, recovering with several deep breaths.
"Rule one, you do not talk unless answering a question. The answer will be concise and honest. You will be silent at all other times. When standing, if asked a question, you answer in a clear and respectful manner. When on all fours, you answer with a clear and respectful arf."
Arf? What the hell?
