A Pet's Purpose

Beauty and the Beast

"This is where you will be staying."

Pisces and Taurus looked around the decent sized room. It was decorated menacingly but nowhere near like how the rest of the house was like.

"I leave you two to get settled and clean up then I'll bring you for the dinner."

Taurus and Pisces nodded, holding their breaths until they left the room.

"Oh my god. I'm going to die down here." Pisces started crying.

"It's okay, calm down. We're both in the same situation. From what I'm seeing they won't do anything to us as long as we listen to them." Taurus put a hand on her shoulder.

"But they're going to make us do horrible things." She sobbed.

"You have to do what it takes to live."

"Let's clean up quickly before they come back."

They each took turns in the showers and then dressed in the clothing that was provided. Just as they finished getting dressed the men entered again without even knocking.

"Good. Let's go."

They were led into a huge dining room with a long table and various assorted dishes.

"Where would you like them seated?"

"The girl sits with me." Gemini patted the empty spot next to him. He was sitting at the head of the table.

"Guess I'll take him." Scorpio sighed, setting her katana down and taking her hat off. You could finally see her face clearly and you could tell she's had her fair share of battles. There were numerous scars across her face that led down to her chest. Taurus found himself counting those scars, in amazement of how she got them.

"Eyes up here boy." She warned.

Taurus shook himself out of it and looked at her eyes.

"Mmm we have some special dishes today." Gemini smiled.

"Why don't you taste them?" He pushed various plates towards Pisces.

Pisces gulped and took a bite without hesitation.

"Do you feel weird? Like you're about to die?" Gemini leaned in.

Pisces shook her head.

"Good. Looks like this one isn't poisoned." He pulled the plate back to him and began eating.

"I want you to taste all of these dishes. Hopefully, you won't die like the last pet I had. It was so unfortunate. I built such a good relationship with her." He frowned.

Now Pisces was even more terrified. Gemini had enough people that hated him to the point where he had to get his food checked. Regardless, Pisces did what she was told and tasted everything he wanted to eat.

"Gemini!" A man burst into the room.

"Ahh WHAT is it now?" He threw his utensils on the table.

"We caught him."

Gemini's expression instantly twisted into that of happiness.

"Bring him in then."

The man dragged another beaten man on his knees. He was so abused that he couldn't stand even if he wanted to.

"My oh my. Look where you ended up." Gemini stood up and walked towards them.

"You've really had to make a scene in front of my new guests? I won't forgive you for that."
