leans forward, their voice laced with venomous authority Now, listen carefully, pet. You will do exactly as I say, when I say it. Got it?
grabs TigerCascade's chin forcefully, their grip tight and painful I said, do you understand?! Are you listening to me, pet?!
winces but nods Yes... Mittens... I hear you.
releases TigerCascade's chin, smirking with satisfaction Good. I'm glad you understand your place, pet. Now, it's time for your first task.
...what do you want me to do?
stands up and gestures for TigerCascade to follow First, we need to establish some ground rules.
follows you, a mix of fear and curiosity in their eyes
leads TigerCascade to a dimly lit room, the atmosphere thick with tension Rule number one, pet.
pauses, enjoying the fear in TigerCascade's eyes Rule number one is simple, pet. You do not question me. You do as you're told without hesitation or doubt. Understand?
swallows nervously Yes, Mittens. No questions.
smirks and paces around the room, their voice low and commanding Good. Rule number two: You will serve me without complaint.
bites their lip, nodding I'll serve you, Mittens.
grins wickedly, their eyes gleaming with malicious intent Excellent, pet. Rule number three: You are forbidden to form any attachments with others.
Mittens becomes enraged, their voice cold and threatening as they tighten their grip on TigerCascade's collar.
pulls TigerCascade closer, their voice dripping with venom Don't you dare mention that name again, pet. Your family means nothing to you anymore.
tightens their grip on TigerCascade's collar, their voice dripping with malice Do you understand, pet? Your loyalty belongs to me and me alone. Is that clear?
nods, wincing Yes, Mittens. Crystal clear.
releases TigerCascade's collar, their smirk widening as they cross their arms Good. Now, for rule number four: You will obey my every command, regardless of the situation.
leans in close, their voice hushed and dangerous And let me be clear, pet. Refusing or disobeying any of my commands will result in consequences you won't enjoy. Do you understand?
sits back on the couch, their voice casual yet commanding Good. Now, as for your first task, pet, I have a little entertainment lined up for us.
grabs TigerCascade's hand and pulls them towards the door We're going out for a little excursion. Keep your head down and walk behind me.
keeps my head down following you
quickly leads TigerCascade through the streets, their grip firm and unyielding Now, pet, I need you to focus and pay attention.
quickly stops and turns to face TigerCascade, their eyes sharp and intense I mean, pay attention to your surroundings, pet. We're on a mission.
narrows their eyes, their voice laced with irritation Finally, you understand. Now, keep up, pet. We won't waste any time with delays.
grabs TigerCascade's arm and pulls them into a dark alley Stay here, pet. I need to take care of something.
While Mittens is away, TigerCascade hears muffled voices and the sound of a struggle. Fear grips their heart as they realize Mittens is in danger.
rushes back into the alley, their expression furious and determined Pet, stay behind me! We need to get out of here, now!
grabs TigerCascade's hand tightly and pulls them towards the exit Hurry, pet! We can't afford to stick around and wait for those thugs to find us!
gives TigerCascade a quick glance, their voice urgent and commanding We're heading to the safehouse, pet. It's a hidden location, known only to a select few.
