I sat there shaking on the ground in fear. I looked up and saw his angry face. I turned my gaze back toward the floor. My body shook slightly in fear. Living at The Village no one ever hit me, they had other means to punish someone or keep us in line without physically hurting us.
A shiver went down my back as I thought of what would happen. Master was furious, I could only hope that he wouldn't let his emotions get the better of him, but then again I had tried to run away. From what I heard some Masters would brand their slave's feet or whip them until they couldn't stand for running away. I looked at my master through the cage doors. As if he sensed my gaze he looked back at me. His hand reached down and unlocked the cage door. I looked at him unsure if I was allowed out or not. He patted his leg and I slowly crawled out of the cage and sat by his knee.
"Good girl," he said, stroking my hair. "You took the rest of your punishment well, now tell me what did you learn?"
His face was serious as I looked up at him the hair on my arms stood up and felt like they were tingling from that look. "Not to run away, Sir. Uh no I meant Master!"
I looked at him scared I messed up one of his rules. Always call him master. My mouth went dry as I tried to swallow. 'Shit what if I got punished again. He just let me out of that cage and-' His laugh broke my thoughts. Laughing was good right?
"It's alright pet. You may call me Sir or Master whatever is easiest for you. Further in your training, I may not require you to call me either as long as you are respectful but that is a long way off. If it helps you decide which one to use, Sir would be for formality and out of respect and Master would be the name you call me. If you need to talk to anyone else you should call them Ma'am or Sir though. You will only call me Master unless I specifically tell you to call someone else Master.
I looked at him processing the information. "Yes, Sir. Thank you that helps," I said quietly.
I felt the car come to a stop. I lifted my head up and took a quick glance out the window. The house in front of the car was huge. The outside of the opulent mansion It was a three-story building made of grey stone with a large glass dome foyer as the entrance, windows spaced out every four feet and ornate carvings on the cills, pillars dotting the outside, connected to the building by some pieces of wood with grape plants growing on top of it making a tunnel of green around the entrance that led to the rest of the house that had what seemed like an outside walkway surrounding it that was bordered by ionic pillars.
"Welcome home little one." He gave me a caring look as he stroked my head before looking out the window again.
The door suddenly opened and the driver obstructed my view of my new prison. Master got out of the car, I stayed where I was watching cautiously not sure what was expected or wanted of me. My master looked at me saying something but my ears weren't working as I continued to stare confused. He snapped his finger then pointing to the ground like I was a dog expected to follow his every beck and call. I gave out a shaky breath instead of coming towards him I backed up towards the other door. I wasn't ready to go towards him and into that house, and I wasn't going to try to run again, not after the pain I felt the last time I ran. Not yet at least until I found out how it happened. I just needed some more time to mentally prepare myself for what might be inside. For my new prison.
I saw Master's hand form into a fist, he was clenching it and unclenching it with frustration. I knew I was trying his patience but I didn't think I had the courage to go towards him and walk into that giant house. I gave out a small cry as the collar around my neck gave me a small shock, not enough to hurt me but more of a warning. Knowing what was going to happen if I didn't follow his orders I took in a deep breath trying to calm myself and my anxiety. I crawled out of the car setting my feet down on the warm pavement. I slowly looked up, seeing Master clearly upset.
He grabbed my arm squeezing a little tightly, his long strands made it hard to keep up with him as we walked towards my new prison. I tried swallowing my fear only to have it to be replaced with something that felt worse. I stumbled as he led me up the small set of stairs towards the entrance. Going underneath the green canopy of grape plants and into the outside foyer which had a fountain in the middle of the round building I looked up at the glass ceiling. I took a look at the blue sky wishing I was anywhere else but here.
My heart was pounding in my chest as he opened up the doors and walked into his house. As we walked in we were greeted by a man with medium length hair, and a closely shaved beard. He had the same structured jaw bone as the man holding my arm in his tight grip gripping slightly tighter when they saw each other. The man looked at me coldly, his gaze tearing through me making me shiver. I looked down at the polished entryway taking a small step so I was slightly behind Master. Using him as a shield to try to block me from this disturbing feeling I felt about this stranger standing before me.
"Hmmm, I see you got a new toy." He said, cocking his head so I wasn't so hidden anymore.
"Yes Malcolm, I thought it was time for a change," My master said looking at me.
"Hmm she is cute, let me get a better look at her," Malcolm said looking at me with an evil gleam.
He looked me up and down. Lust. It was all I saw when I looked into his eyes. My chest grew tight. I didn't know how to properly breathe as he watched my chest as I breathed in and out. He reached his hand out towards me cupping my chin raising my head so our eyes met. I attempted to take a step away when his hand snaked around my waist keeping me where I was standing. Master still kept a firm grip on my arm, I felt like his grip grew tighter the closer Malcolm was to me. I let out a small whimper, both men were so close to me. I knew that I would have bruises on my arm after this was over.
Malcolm's brown eyes stared into me. I squirmed a little until his voice cut in "stop moving sweetheart and look at me."
His voice left no argument. I looked up slowly seeing a hunger in them. I quickly jerked my head back so my chin wasn't in his grasp any more, when his hand came back to grip my chin I bit his hand, not giving him a chance to keep me locked in his gaze. I felt a pain hit the side of my head as he punched me, I let out a cry letting go of his hand and fell to the ground getting my arm ripped out of my master's grip. I curled up on myself in a fetal position expecting one of them to attack me.
