Atlas pointed out its car as they stepped out into the lot, a black charger near the back of the spots, and they walked towards it. As they got closer, however, something in Tally's brain flipped, noticing there was definitely something wrong with this whole situation. She tried to pull away and step back but Atlas' hand had a firm grip on her wrist, and she was so small she couldn't get out of it even if she had her strength. Atlas smiled at her, not saying a word as it pulled her back close, wrapping their arm tight around her waist and bringing them up to their car. As they stepped next to it, Tally tried to grab for the passenger door handle, but Atlas swatted their hand away and openly laughed at the prospect.
"Don't be ridiculous, pet," It laughed, that word striking a cord hard in Tally's thoughtless head. pet? She wasn't a pet, what does that even mean? She was- she didn't really know what she *was*, she couldn't even think but, the fear of that title made her quiver. "You can't sit in the front like me, silly! Be a good thing and come get in the boot." It laughed, bringing her around back and popping open the trunk, which was completely empty save for a large open dog crate fitted with little pink cushions and heart shaped pillows. Tally looked from side to side, heart sinking with fear but so tight in Atlas' grip she could do nothing but look up at them with tearful pleading eyes.
Atlas gave her a little kick in the ankle, "No hesitation, Tally. Get in," She ordered, voice raising a scary amount. Tally jumped, crawling up and into the cage, pacing in a circle until she curled up inside. "Now, let's get you home!" Atlas slammed the trunk shut with a smile, walking over and into the driver's seat and starting the car, with Tally stuck waiting anxiously in the dark.
The drive was long, longer than Tally could count. She didn't think her place was that far but, she also was losing track of time, her head was so dizzy and blank she wasn't sure if she was even awake the whole time, and now that she thought about it did she even give Atlas her address? Her mind kept on running, falling between pure thoughtlessness and agonizing fear, until the car finally came to a sudden stop after god knows how long.
The trunk popped open suddenly, Atlas' towering figure looking down at the sight of tally all curled up and scared with an evil grin plastered on its face. "C'mere pup," She cooed, opening the crate and pulling Tally out by the arms, lifting her up and putting her into a bridal carry as Atlas locked the doors with a clicker and walked them up to a house Tally had never seen before. She started to panic, writhing and trying to struggle out of their arms, but she was so weak she could barely move more than an inch and their grip was so strong she just went limp, pathetically tearing up and choking out little sobs as Atlas gently hushed her, walking them through the door and locking it behind them. Taking her to the bedroom,
Atlas gently plopped her on the bed, telling her to stay there before walking out of the room. It only took a few seconds, but it felt like forever for Tally, sitting there barely able to move at all, stuck waiting. Thankfully, or maybe unfortunately, Atlas came back soon, needle in hand flicking it as it approached her. "Ok pup," they cooed in a little high pitched tone, "This little injection here's gonna make you feel really good okay? Real obedient." Tally squirmed, yelling and squeaking and writhing but it couldn't help at all, Atlas just held her down so she couldn't and pushed the needle in regardless. "We'll have to get that little noise problem fixed," it said, grazing its hand across her neck, "maybe I'll have to get you a little shock collar if you don't learn to shut up."
Tally stopped yelling immediately, body getting stiff as a board as she tried to speak through her choked sobs, "Please you- you don't have to do this" she cried, looking up at Atlas with the most pathetic puppydog eyes imaginable.
"I know. But I want to." Atlas replied with a straight face, "Now, I warned you about the noise, so I have something I think could help." looking around in the closet, Atlas rummaged around until they found what they were looking for and turned around to show it off to Tally. It was a thick, black muzzle, tiny enough where you wouldn't be able to make much noise at all. Coming back to her, it grabbed her head, gently wrapping the straps around her tight and getting it perfectly in place as she whimpered and whined, all of those immediately being muffled by the muzzle on her face.
"Much better," it laughed, "now.. how's this feel, pup?" Atlas grazed its hand over Tally's bare leg, holding it in its hand and squeezing it just a little. In response, Tally's eyes burst wide open, her whole body writhing as the faintest whimpering and choked moans could be heard through her muzzle. "Really? That much of a reaction and not even touching a sensitive part? Quite pathetic, 'Tally'."
Tally squirmed, trying to put up any fight at all, pounding her little fists into the bed, shaking her body, but it also just felt so good to her now, everything touching her body, from Atlas to the bed sheets beneath her, felt so unbelievably good against her, an overwhelming amount of feeling all at once, like it was taking over all of her senses, and as her eyes started to glaze over, Atlas piped up, "Therree we go! Gosh you are so lucky that's fast-acting huh? Well, now that you need touch more than anything... time to get in your new cage, doggy!"
Tally's eyes were still fluttering, squinting as her body went entirely limp, easy for Atlas to quickly undress save for her underwear and pick up. Tally didn't notice it on the first entrance, but right at the foot of the bed was another dog crate, almost double the size of the cramped one in the trunk of its car, filled with even more blankets and little pink pillows than before. Atlas gently sat Tally down, scooting her in by the butt as the first sensation of the blankets touching her skin almost made her scream. Locking the cage behind her, Atlas pat the bars, smiling down at its new dog one last time before throwing a dark blanket over the cage, "Goodnight, pet. It only gets worse tomorrow."
