Bliss POV

I can't stop sobbing, it hurts too much. I hear a small thud, I can't help but flinch, waiting for the next hit. It doesn't come. I feel the bindings on my legs being slowly taken off then my wrists. I stay frozen to the chair, not daring to move. After a few minutes, I try to take off my blind fold and look at the room.

It looks the same but to my right I see a table with horrifying objects on it. I look down to my feet and see master on his knees with his head down and his wings lying flat out on the ground. He looks like a painting of a fallen angle who has its head down in repentance.

He looks beautiful and so sad. My hand reaches out without me thinking about it, and I lay my hand on his head. His hair is so soft, he flinches and his head slowly rises letting my hand fall to the side of his face. His eyes have tears in them, "I'm so sorry." He whispers, "I can't hurt you anymore... It's bringing me nothing but agony."

He just stares at me looking for my reaction. "Why?" I ask with a confused tone. After a moment he speaks, "I don't know, I can't understand why I feel this way..." I don't understand what he feels but I don't want him to hurt me. It's hard for me to be here, I feel a pull to him even though he has been hurting me... "I don't think... I can hurt you anymore." Does that mean he let me go? So I won't be a slave anymore?

"Then will you let me go?" I ask. He shakes his head, "I can't, it's treason of the highest order, and you couldn't leave even if you wanted to, the only way souls will rest is after paying their time and being devoured." He pauses and thinks for a minute, "if I ate your flesh I could probably give you a shorter sentence."

He looks at my face that has morphed into horror and he dismisses the idea. He pauses again and then speaks, "you can go to your room... I'll think of something." He whispers the last part to himself. I quickly get out of my chair and notice that I'm naked. I take a guess and wipe off the blood that had been on my chest.

The dress reappears and I leave for the exit I pause and look, he is still in the same position, still kneeling down in front of where I sat. I leave and go to my room to think... Why am I drawn to him? Why can't he hurt me? What did he mean by it brings him agony? All these questions and more swirl around my head as I sit on the bed in my room.

I don't know when but I eventually fall asleep on the bed in an uncomfortable position. It might have been hours or minutes before master comes in my room and gently shakes me awake. I slowly open my eyes and see his beautiful face looking at me. "I think I know what to do..." He trails off and pauses, "if you won't let me eat then you will have to become my personal slave."

I don't know why I don't want him to eat a part of me and in all honesty it would probably be a lot faster than punishments and torture. However I can't picture eating a part of me. What does he mean by personal slave? "What do you mean?" I ask, voicing my thoughts.

He sighs then says, "well it means that you'll have to be with me all day and all night no matter where I go, you'll help me with whatever I do. You won't have the regular punishment that the usually have. When or if I give you punishment it will be behind closed doors. If I have to give you punishments..." He looks very sad while saying that part. "Then I can decide how severe it will be."

My mind is overloaded and all I can do is nod my head and he gives me a light smile then says, "pack up your small amount of things and you'll come to my room." I don't understand why but I do it. I only have a small amount of clothes the ones he is giving me and the one I woke up in. I put them in a neat pile in my hands and without saying a word he turns to the door and starts leading me back to his room.

By the time we are in the room, my mind is swarming with questions. Where I'm going to stay? What are my duties? So many questions. Without me voicing any of my questions he start answering my questions one by one, "usually personal slaves sleep in the room beside their masters but I don't want you to be there..." I feel like there's more to the story but he's not telling me so I don't pry.

He continues on "it's been the weekend, for demons, so I haven't had to go to work, most demons have two jobs. One job is a city job or business any of the sort they get money from it. All demons have a second job too the job of punishing. Mostly punishments are given on weekends and daily punish on weekdays.

Tomorrow I'll be going to the castle to be the general for my closest friend and the King of hell. Your job is to stand by me if I asked you to run an errand you do that. If I need food you must prepare it. Basically the job of a normal secretary or maid. Of course because personal slaves have less punishments than usual they get more severe punishments at home."

He pauses and looks at me gauging my reaction I try and keep all emotions off my face and he continues talking, "but because of our... Situation you'll be given less punishments because I physically cannot punish you and I don't want to sell you to someone who can. You'll sleep in my bed and I've made arrangements for a dresser to be brought up to my room. It will be in the corner and that will be where you can put your stuff.

Your biggest job is to stand by me and do what I say when we walked my work you will have to be chained but once we're in my office I will unchain you. Do you have any questions?" I shake my head. All of this is so bizarre and is hurting my head trying to think about it. I look at him and he just nods then says if you have any questions, "you can ask me."

I can understand my attraction to him, he can't understand why you can't hurt me, any more than he already has and even that probably hurt him terribly. I don't understand what's happening? Why can't he do what other demons find so easy, is it just me? Is there something wrong with me that makes him unable to hurt me? If I was given to a different demon would they hurt me? I don't know any of these answers that are inside my head but I can say that I don't want to be in pain like I can assume many other people don't want. I'm glad he bought me this is going to make everything so complicated. What will happen to us?
