Day 29: ownership / branding -Angel

Angel left the studio early after a hard day and tried to get back to the hotel before Val tried to convince him to come back. After walking a couple of miles he sees a limo next to him knowing who's it is and sadly looks down and walks up to it and puts on his fake personality. "Hey Val, what's up?" He says all nervously. "Angel, you are supposed to be at the studio doing a shoot." "Yeah but Charlie has this thing she wanted us to do before dark, so I thought I would take off early." "Come in here Baby." Valentino opens the door and Angel following orders and scared of what will happen next. Valentino pulls Angel closer grabbing his chin and looking very angry. "Do you think I give a Fuck of what that little Princesa wants!! You are mine! And you do what I say!! I think you need something to remind you." Valentino tells the driver to go back to the studio and when they arrived he drags Angel to his Office and throws him to a chair while he grabs something from in his closet. Angel can't see what Valentino is grabbing but it can't be good, he looks around to try to find an escape but they are to high up to jump out the window and there is nothing to defend himself with because it's all in the closet that he is digging in and I can't hit my owner. Valentino finally found what he was looking for and Angel is scared it's a branding stick with Valentino's initial on it with a V and moth wings. "Now I'm going to remind you who owns your soul." Valentino puts it in the fire and watches Angel and the stick it about two minutes later it looks right and Valentino grabs it. Angel walks very slowly away from him trying to avoid this from happening. "Angel it's going to happen weather you like it or not!" Valentino summons his smoke and ties him up and Angel falls to the ground struggling. Valentino comes close to Angel and puts the stick close to him where he can feel the heat come closer and closer until the heat was unbearable and Angel is screaming. Once Valentino takes it off Angel looks at his shoulder of his left second arm he sees that it was going nowhere he feels disgusted and used. "There that should do it. Now get back to work." Angel sniffs. "Yes Val." He gets up and gets to work. After his shift was over he went straight home with a long sleeve sweatshirt so he won't have to look at the stupid brand and so he won't have to explain it. Once he walked in he saw Husker at the bar so he walked up and tried talking to him but before he could say anything. "What's with your arm?" "What about my arm?" "It's fucking bleeding!" Angel looks down at his arm and he is right it was slightly bleeding. "It's nothing it's fine." "What did he do this time?" "Nothing he did nothing it's fine nothing to worry about!" Husk walks around the bar and grabs his other arm and tells him to follow him and he does. They go into Husks bathroom. "Alright take it off." Angel looks nervous but then sighs and says. "Just don't judge me when you see it ok?" Husk tilts his head wondering what would make him think that but then Angel pulls of his sweatshirt and he sees the brand. Husk freezes for a second then goes to grab the things he needs to help. "It's not as bad as it looks." "Not as bad!! He Fuckin Branded Me!!Valentino Branded Me as a reminder of who I belong to!" Angel starts crying in the middle of his sentence and Husk feels bad and wants to help him. "No he branded you because he is scared. He's scared that you are becoming a better person and failing to listen to him. Don't let this mark let you down let it be a reminder that he is getting scared and that you are growing stronger." Those words made Angel feel stronger and it felt right with what Husk had said. "Thanks Husk." "Always."
