He glanced down at me and spoke, "Look..you're mine now. I OWN you. You can't leave and I won't let you go. So you can give up with the pleading. You're never leaving." He quickly put on the collar while I was distracted, "Enjoy your new life, pet."

------------

Tears filled my eyes as I stared down at the scratchy collar, my body shaking from fear. No. This can't end here. I can't spend the rest of my life as a freak pet for this stranger! In fact, I WON'T spend the rest of my life like this. But I can't just run out the door and be free. This needs planning or else I'll get caught and who knows what will happen then. "Now, pet, it's time for you to know the rules. I want you to know your place as soon as possible so I can start training you.", he stated, grabbing the collar and dragging me into the kitchen. "First, no talking. I don't want to hear a single word come from you unless you have to go to the bathroom. In that case, you may say something; Second, you will crawl at all times. I don't even want to see you ATTEMPT to stand. You're a dog, mutt. Act like one; Third, you will be obedient and will never try to hurt me in anyway; Fourth, for the most part, you will act like what you are. I don't expect you to bark or anything but I expect you to eat, play, and sleep like a dog; Fifth, you will sleep when I tell you to with a chain on and in your dog bed; And finally sixth, you will not try to escape and you will never go outside without your leash on and myself walking you. I may also add more rules if needed. Is that understood?", he explained, letting go of the collar and crossing his arms across his chest like a stern father, waiting for his child to answer him back. I quickly nodded, not wasting a second in hopes of gaining his trust quickly. He smiled and responded, "Good girl.", before pointing at two dog bowls sitting side by side one another. One was filled with water while another was left empty. "You will eat out of these. I won't make you eat dog food, but like I said, you will eat like a dog.", he stated, grabbing the collar again and dragging me back in the living room. In the middle of the floor was a huge, soft pillow and next to it was a basket of dog toys. Wait. Dog toys?? Does he really expect me to play with those? I looked up at him with a nervous look in my eyes as butterflies filled my stomach. He raised an eyebrow at me before explaining, "This is where you'll play and nap when I'm busy and it's not time for you to go outside or go to bed." I opened my mouth to abject but quickly closed it when he narrowed his eyes at me in a threatening glare. Hesitantly, I just nodded my head in response instead of my protesting thoughts toward his idea of me playing with dog toys and napping on a pillow in the middle of the floor. Suddenly he gave a smirk and said, "Oh, and before I forget again. New rule. No getting on the furniture." I groaned in aggrivation, earning a smack to the head and a glare in return. "Hush.", he grabbed the collar again and dragged me upstairs. We went down a short hallway and into a bedroom. The walls were a plain white and the carpet a creme color. It looked like any ordinary man's bedroom..except for the brown dog bed in the corner. It looked big enough for me to lay there and it had a fuzzy white blanket on top of it. What disturbed me the most was the short, silver chain that was attached to the wall. "And this is where you'll be sleeping.", he finished, dragging me over to the bed and forcing me to my knees. He attached the chain to the collar and walked off.
