Pet to the Demon Master

Chapter Four

The next morning, I am woken by Kelly who takes me to Master's Bedroom, where he is lying down reading the newspaper.

Kelly stops at the hardwood door and gestures for me to enter.

I take a couple small steps forward into the dark room when a gust of wind slams the door closed and rushes me forward in one smooth swish.

"Good morning Pet, did you have a good sleep?" Master asks me.

"Yes Master" I murmur back.

He frowns. Oh dear. What have I done to upset him?

"You are always so scared..."

Oh.

"I have work today, so you are going to stay here in your room, but I will skype you at 12:00 to check up on you, and be home at about 8:00, which isn't too long."

"So what will I do?" I ask.

"Prepare yourself for my home coming, do your nails, cut your hair, shave, wax, exercise etc. Use your imagination" He says dismissively.

"Okay..." Surely that won't take 12 hours? I mean cutting my nails will take two minutes, shaving will take five minutes, waxing won't happen so will take no time at all –

His eyes snap up.

"Are you disobeying me Pet?"

"No Master, sorry Master" I reply quickly.

"Hmm. Well before I go then, let's go over some rules.

Rule 1. Always do as I say.

Rule 2. Always answer using words.

Rule 3. Keep your body in impeccable condition.

Rule 4. Never deny me.

Do you understand me Pet?" He asks.

"Yes Master."

"Good, well I better be off to work now, Kelly has left some... Learning resources in your room. Enjoy." He says before he dissolves in a poof of smoke.

Okay then.

I am escorted back to my room by Kelly, who doesn't say a word to me the whole time for some unknown reason.

She then unlocks the door, ushers me in and closes it behind me.

I hear the clinging of keys and a click as she locks the door.

I am guessing this is the downside of being a slave to a demon – all the free time.

Then I notice a bunch of books, discs and a portable DVD player on the bed. Oh good, entertainment.

I pick up the blank disc on the top of the pile and put it in the player, which makes a quality chug chug sound as it boots up.

When it starts, I get the distinct impression that it has been produced in a government facility. It's being filmed in a laboratory type setting and features a nerdy looking demon in a white lab coat talking about the human body.

Great. It's educational.

I avert my eyes from the screen and look at the title of one of the books.

They are obviously aimed at humans due to the size of the font and the simple words reading 'how to please your master'. What the hell?

I look back at the DVD player's screen, which now shows the nerdy demon holding a dildo and demonstrating how to give a hand job.

I slam the player closed and grab the 'learning resources', shoving them in the bottom draw of the dresser.

I let out a sigh of relief. Crisis adverted.
