Creepy

Chapter 6

Once they get back from the walk, Master makes dinner, but Cherry isn't hungry.

"Eat it, or you'll starve!" Master pounds on the table.

"I-I'm sorry," Cherry cowers.

Master walks over to Cherry and pulls her up. "Sit and eat!" He barks.

Cherry sits down at the table and eats. She didn't think she'd have to eat with him when he took her, but she guessed he had other tricks up his sleeve and that scared Cherry.

No matter how hard she tries to be brave, he always does something else to creep her out.

"You'll wash the dishes. No ifs and buts about it. Understood?"

Cherry nods. Master grabs her face. "Use your words, Cherry. Let's try this again.  Do you understand what I said to you?"

"Y-yes, Master," Cherry spoke confidently. More than she felt.

"Good. Oh, and this kitchen better be spotless by the time I come back down, and if it's not?"

"I know. Consequences will be severe," Cherry rolls her eyes

Master steps in front of her so fast, almost like a bolt of lightning.

He slaps her. "I will not have you back-talking me!"

"I-I'm sorry, Master. It won't happen again."

"Make sure that it doesn't.

Cherry waits for Master to go. She cleans and looks around for another way to escape. She needs to get out of here. The door. It's unlocked.

She runs to it and opens it. Cherry lets out a string of curses. Of course, it creaks when you open it.

Master runs down and grabs Cherry by her hair. "That was a very stupid thing to do, Cherry. I told you you're not allowed to leave."

"Master, please."

"I warned you. Now, you're going to be punished!"

"No, please."

"Instead of your hands being tied with rope, they're not going to be cuffed, Cherry!"

"Please, Master, I won't do it again! Please don't do this!"

      "Shut up, and I'll believe that when I see it," Master says roughly as he cuffs her hands. He pushes Cherry back into the basement, locks the door, and leaves her to sob.
