My New Pet

Chapter 19: Torture (18+) 🔞

TW: Torture & abuse.

A Month and a half later...February 9th, 2021

Irene walked down the underground corridor, a set of keys jingling in one hand and humming softly to herself as she made her way to a cell. She could hear movement going on in the cell, knowing full well who it could be. It was the only person there alive right now: Mia Winters.

"Let me out! I know you're there! Please let me go back home!" Mia shouted out as Irene drew closer to the cell and opened the door, going inside to face the woman. "Rose needs me!"

"Funny...you say your daughter needs you but you were supposed to give her up to Miranda as a promise. You went back on your word, Mia...now you're being punished. Just like my parents." Irene grabbed Mia's face and traced her nails over her lips gently, smirking at her wide. "They were supposed to give me up to Miranda but instead of hiding me they gave me away to a strange family. One that loved and cared for me. Seems I wasn't the only one who was sold to a witch."

"Please...I wasn't trying to hurt Rose...I just wanted to protect her..." She begged Irene as tears ran down her cheeks fast. "Don't let Miranda take away my family..."

"I'm sorry Mia...but you made your choice. Your daughter deserves better. She deserves a mother who won't give her up. At least she'll still have Ethan. He's been good to her." Irene let Mia go and stepped back a little, going to lean against the cell wall. "Accept that Miranda will take care of her perfectly fine. After all she'll have plenty of people to call family here."

"No I won't let you or her take Rose from me! Please let me go!" Mia begged, struggling in her binds to try and get free. "Please don't take her..."

"Then I guess I can't help you Mia..." Irene made her way out of the cell, locking the door behind her and laughed. "I'll be back for you later with dinner. You have to keep your strength up my dear. Hehehe..." With that Irene made her way down the corridor again, Mia cursing under her breath and struggling even harder to get out. Irene hated to do that but she was given strict orders to give Mia the hardest treatment she could. Even if it meant being a captor. She didn't want this but if it meant for Miranda to see Irene as an equal...she'd have to do it. It took a while for Irene to get back, taking her time as she thought about everything that was happening. Soon she would have her own little family if Miranda could exterminate Mia from Rose's life. It felt cruel to take a mother away from her child and husband. Irene did want her own child though...just like Miranda.

"How did it go?" asked a voice as Irene made her way into the meeting room. There stood Alcina along with everyone else sitting in their usual spots. How was she going to explain to them that once again there was no news from Miranda and no cooperation from Mia. "Did she give in?"

"Uh...well...she's definitely a fighter. Must have been through tougher than this before so...it will happen eventually..." Irene played it off as nothing, not wanting them to see she was just as interested in torturing Mia like them. Her fingers tightened into a ball, nearly drawing too much blood from her own hands. Angie got up from her spot with Donna and clacked around the room while speaking, "Why not just play with her more and make her give in? She'll break eventually." The doll laughed maniacally and everyone was in an uproar, talking over each other. Irene had no control over the lords like Miranda did. No power yet. It was an unorganized conversation that turned into some of them arguing.

"Be quiet!" Irene shouted out loud enough and her face angry from the overstimulation of different conversations. It was soon silent again. Everyone looked in her direction with questionable eyes. It made Irene uneasy but in someway it also made her feel powerful. She stood tall, not cowering back in fear as her eyes scanned the room. "I will handle Mia. The rest of you need to stick to your plans when the time comes. As you should...now go..."
