The Forgotten Mutant

Chapter 3: Dinner and a Punishment

The walk, that was more of a limping crawl, seemed to take forever and Kalona didn't pay much attention to where she was being led to. Before she knew it curtains, that were doubling as doors, were drawn open and a rather large dining hall was revealed.

"Master, I have done as you requested and brought your pet. Be gentle with her, she's fragile at this time." Riarst said bowing her head respectively

"hEh, BuT sHe LiVeS. AND ALREADY MOTHERFUCKING PANTING AND CRAWLING LIKE A BARK BEAST!" the sudden excited exclamation caught Kalona off guard and caused her to jump and hiss lowly from the sharp bite of pain. "YoU mAy lEaVe RiA, i WiSh To DiNe WiTh My LITTLE BITCH." the massive troll said standing and making a lazy stroll over to them.

"Of course." the older female said softly and with another bow left them alone.

"D0n't y0u dare t0uch me." Kalona growled out staring up at Grand Highblood trying to control her breathing. She was panting, the short walk for others felt like miles to her and left her tired and feeling weaker, "I'm n0t fragile and I bel0ng t0 n0 0ne." She hissed baring her teeth.

It only made the towering troll laugh deep in his throat, it seemed to shake the room around them. Slowly he approached the smaller troll, towering over her, his shadow casting her into darkness. "Oh BuT tHaTs WhErE yOu ArE mOtHeRfUcKiN wRoNg My LiTtle, " He went closer kneeling, "PeT KaLoNa!" the word rolled off his tongue like mind honey as his fingers threaded through her hair.

Grey eyes closed sharply, waiting for the sharp pain that never came. Instead those powerful hands gently ran through what remained of her hair. Slowly opening her eyes, she gazed up at the monster before her, he seemed to be contemplating something as his purple eyes wandered her facial features. "YoU kNoW, i DoNt LiKe ThAt NaMe, IlL hAvE tO cHaNgE iT."

"M-my name?" Kalona whimpered staring up at him as his nails ever so slightly scratched at the flesh of her scalp.

"YeS, tHe PeT dOeSnT tElL tHe MaStEr ItS nAmE, tHe MoThErFuCkIn MaStEr GiVeS tHe NaMe. AnD yOu, My NiMp WiLl Be NaMeD NePhThYs. BeSt LeArN iT qUiCk." he said voice turning harsh as his soothing hand turned to a harsh fist holding her hair, pulling the poor troll closer to his face.

Choking on the breath that was in her throat as she stared into his purple eyes, shuddering as she felt his heated breath rolling over her flesh, "So TeLl Me WhAt Is YoUr NaMe?" he whispered making her skin prickle.

With a hard swallow around the lump in her throat she closed her eyes to try and fight the tears welling up, "My-my name is Nephthys." She barely whispered as her own claws barely punctured through the tough skin around Grand Highblood's wrists and arm.

Feeling herself being lifted and then cradled, she dared to open one of her eyes as the chest she was leaning on now rumbled with a dark laugh and words of praise as she was carried to the table, "NoW, lEtS eAt, CaNt HaVe A bOnEy PeT." the highblood rumbled as he took his seat at the table and holding Kalona firmly in his lap.

Almost instantly servants, not of his blood class came rushing forth laying out platters of bizarre looking foods, large wine bottles and matching glasses. A plate fit for the troll holder her was placed before them and then a bowl was placed next to it. It wasn't a bowl like the one that was being used to serve Grand Highblood his soup in, this had a rimming to it that rested on the table along with the bottom of the bowl, "A bOwL fIt FoR a PeT." Rumbled the voice from the being holding her in place.
