Wild and Free

Chapter Seventeen

Samantha's birthday dress above
———————————————————————————Samantha's POV:

Erika came stomping back into the living room and sat down with a huff, opening her book back up. I reached over and grabbed up her leash.

"What's wrong? Why are you so mad?" I asked. She rolled her eyes and tossed a glare back at the kitchen doorway.

"Nothing. Don't you have something to bitch about to your Mo-OW!" She yelped as her collar shocked her for cursing. I had went and raised the level on all punishments to a four or five in hopes of making training much easier. I smirked.

"Don't curse and there won't be a punishment. I don't like the absence of Mistress in that sentence" I said sternly. She glared at me again, but said nothing. I gave her a level two shock for good measure. Mother came out with a pan of lasagna and set it on the dining room table. Mom came down the hall and grabbed her, sitting down with her in her lap. She squealed for Mom to let her go. I got up and pulled Erika up with me. Then made my way over to the table.

Dinner was pretty quiet. Mom and Mother were talking about something work related. I put Erika in Silent Mode for a bit as I ate, boredly scrolling through my phone.

"I might get a pet" Mother suddenly said, making everyone stop. I briefly saw Erika's hands curl into fists. I looked over at Mom, who laughed.

"Why on earth would you need a pet?" She said between laughs. Mother giggled and looked over at me.

"Shouldn't be too hard to take care of one. I can request one with certain features right?" She asked Mom. She nodded in response.

"Fuck you, you're just like the rest of them!" Erika yelled, jumping to her feet. She shrieked as she got shocked with a level five for talking while in Silent Mode and standing. I immediately grabbed her collar and pulled her back down.

"How dare you disrespect my Mother. Just for that, looks like someone's skipping dinner. Now go and stay in my room. No getting on the bed. You better be kneeling or you get a punishment" I snapped. Erika's eyes flashed with hatred, but she got up and stomped down the hall to my room. She was careful not to slam the door.

"You really should send her to a personal trainer for pets. Would really make her more obedient. The collar helps a bit" Mom said. Mother nodded in agreement. I shrugged.

"But Mom you trained your own! You've had 7, including Mother." I pointed out. She chuckled and patted her head. I briefly saw Mother flinch.

"Actually the first one, I had trained before being sent to me. She became boring though, then I got rid of her" She explained fully. I nodded. Finishing my food, I got up to put my plate away and walked slowly to my room to try and think of a punishment.

Maybe I should end her to be trained. Would be much easier.

Sky's POV:

Me and Maya went to her office to discuss which pet I wanted. I requested a black haired girl with green eyes and pale skin. Her name was currently Katelyn but I was planning on changing it to Jasmine. According to Maya she had been kidnapped from the US a month ago and was put on reserve for a wealthy family. But then the family chose someone else and she was just left. I decided to put her through training despite her records showing she was almost perfectly meek and obedient. I wanted a perfect pet.

"Short Term is a week so she'll arrive the day after Samantha's birthday next week." She said. I smiled and kissed her. Then we moved onto Samantha's big party. We were renting out a banquet hall for it and was planning the dress she would wear for her special day. Here, it was a custom that the parents chose the dress or suit or whatever until the child turned 21. The dress we bought her was a reddish color and wasn't too long but not too short either.

"You think she'll like this one? Maya asked, holding up the picture. The actual dress was set to be shipped a day before her birthday. I jumped up and sat on Maya's desk.

"So what's the whole process of kidnapping and such" I asked curiously. Maya froze, her pen at the edge of the paper positioned to write something. She put it down.

"Well. First special teams scout out areas that have lots of..people to start their process. Usually you have to order what kind of pet you want. They usually do it by eye color, hair color, height and skin color. They'll pick up 3 girls that match all those descriptions, drug them, then bring them here and show them to the buyer. He or She picks the one out of the three she wants and the other two are sent to one of the Pet shops to be bought by the public. After that if they're there for too long they're unfortunately put down" She explained. I frowned, thinking about how I was probably blacked out in a cage with two other girls and got picked to be her precious pet.

"So Jasmine will arrive with two other girls that match what characteristics I choose? Okay" I replied. I gave her another kiss and swung my legs. I was actually happy about this. Old me would of been disgusted at owning another person.

It's their price for being accepted here without paying millions a month. It's a lot better than the US.

Me and Maya talked for a bit longer, then I went out to go sit on the couch. Just my luck, Erika was there and Samantha was nowhere in sight. I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall.

"Where's your Mistress?" I asked. Erika looked up, and began glaring at me as soon as she saw it was me.

"What do YOU want. How's the spoiled wife roll going for you? What? You're salty she didn't get you a diamond necklace to replace the tacky gold?" She snapped. Now it was my turn to glare.

"It's not my fault you decided to speak out of turn. What's your punishment anyways?" I snapped back, softening my voice at the last part. She turned away and went back to staring out the window.

"Two Level Fives, No dinner, No breakfast in the morning. Basically a whole day of me starving. Wish I got up and strangled you with the leash instead" She growled. Ignoring the threat, I sat down next to her and forced her to look at me.

"You and I both know my daughter or my wife would not let you get near me. Stop it. Don't you get it? There's no way out of here. Not anymore. Sage made it out but these people are powerful. No one believes her. They think she was a runaway who was forced to become a sex worker because she needed money. No one will believe you. And you'll just get yourself hurt trying to go back." I said. Erika looked defeated at that.

"Sky why don't you just help me!? You're a victim here! Did you know they're still looking for you? Your family hasn't given up on you! We could expose this place together and walk away free, with tons of money. Billionaires practicing basically slavery? That's a goldmine." She pressed. I rapidly shook my head. She was starting to piss me off.

"Erika enough. This is my family now. You'll never make it to the docks. I'm not helping you. I'm your friend but I'm not being your accomplice. If you want to try to escape so bad go ahead, try. See what they do to runaways like you will be" I growled. With that I got up and walked off to the bedroom, flopping down onto the bed. I try to fall asleep, but my mind refuses to settle, opting to think about what Erika said.

You're a victim here! Your family is still looking for you!

My family is here. This is my family now. I can't leave.
