Ali Carter

Chapter 4

when i woke up I was wrapped in a blanket on Jaspers chest. once he seen I was awake, he sat me up. I could feel the collar on me still.

i reached back by the clasp and did indeed feel a padlock on it. Jasper gently gripped my hand and pulled it away from the padlock.

"so pet, today were going to start packing your clothes and other belongings." he told me before standing with me in his arms.

"i can walk you know." i told him. "yes i do. i also know that you can watch your attitude." he told me before placing me down and leashing me up.

he dragged me back to my room "i want this room packed by three or else." he said and practically threw me inside before slamming the door shut. i heard the door lock.

i turned around to find a big stack of boxes, a few rolls of tape, and a sharpie. i sighed and grabbed a box.

i emptied my dressers out into a few boxes before moving onto my closet. this was the hardest part because recently i had been spoiled with quite a number of designer bags.

i grabbed the biggest box I could find and began to put all my bags back into their boxes before putting them all into the large box.

i emptied the rest of my closet out before realizing I still had my night stands and desk to do. as well as Enzos beds and blankets.

i looked at the clock. 2:40 PM it read. i groaned and speedily taped a box and pulled every drawer and emptied them out into the box and quickly pushed them back in.

i looked at the clock once i was done with my desk and dresser. 2:58 it read this time.

i sighed and knew I wasn't gping to be done in time. i taped up a box and the door unlocked.

"hmm so your not done then?" jasper asked as he and Jackson walked in and looked around.

i knew they were going to whip me again. i looked down with tears in my eyes and shook my head no.

"verbal response, pet." Jackson said. "n-no, I'm s-sorry." my voice cracked. i was brought into Jackson's arms.

"what's wrong pet?" i just shook my head no and cried into his arms.
"pet, please tell me what's wrong?" he asked again. "I'm not done packing my room h-he said to be done by 3 o'clock or e-else" I cried.   " pet, I know-" I interrupted him "please stop calling me that, I have a name and I don't like being called a pet!" I cried.

i felt my face rocket to the side, I gasped. "never, pet, interrupt me again. do you understand?" Jasper asked, I held my burning cheek and nodded, my head suddenly rocketed to the other side. "verbal response pet." Jasper demanded.

"yes Jasper, I understand." I whispered feeling defeated. my chin was yanked forward, "it's yes sir to you pet." he told me then let go of my chin. "yes sir." I whispered even quieter.

"now pet, I expect you to behave yourself at lunch, come along now pet." jasper then leashed me up and handed the leash off to Jackson who gave me a gentle tug before opting to hold my hand.

Jackson held my hand until we reached the dining hall then he let go and led me by the leash again.

there were only two chairs left at the table and suddenly I realized that only men were seated at the table. my own mother was on her knees in front of my dad underneath the table. my twin had his consort on his lap and the rest of my brothers opted to place their prizes as my father had.

Jackson placed me on his lap and began to set two plates. a few minutes later he held a piece of steak up to my mouth. "no thank you I'm not hungry." I whispered. he set the fork down and ignored me the rest of lunch.

Tyler sent me a worried look. I looked at him depressingly and held my still burning cheek. his eyes widened. "father may I speak with you after lunch, I feel I have something to tell you that would be of value." Tyler told father.

"is it of great urgency?" father asked. "incredible urgency, father." Tyler replied. my father dropped his knife and fork as Tyler helped his consort off his lap and followed father out to his office.

I sighed depressingly again and closed my eyes. "Enzo, I want Enzo" I whispered. "no pet, you can wait until after lunch." I wanted to cry but was afraid of what would happen.

I heard my father and brother re-enter the room and father become seated again. "I do not like my daughter being talked to like a dog and I don't like her being hit so forcefully that she almost gets whiplash and I most certainly don't like being lied to about how you were calming my daughter down when instead you were whipping my daughter. I am terminating the collaring take that blasted thing off my daughter right now!" my father's loud voice yelled.

the twins were shocked. Tyler yanked me from Jackson and held me in his arms. "unlock the collar now!" Tyler yelled. the twins refused. my brother Xavier stood up, "you will be unlocking the collar, or I will be invading Italy the minute I am the minute I am Don." Xavier said with finality.

Jackson pulled out a key and handed it to Tyler. my twin was quick to release me of my collar. the first thing I did was throw the collar at their faces. I ran out of the room to find enzo. I looked all over.

I found him out back with a new trainer. she was careful with him and was putting a new oithe ntment in his back. I smiled "Enzo!" i called. he let out a happy roar I saw his collar and chain leash on the ground. "his collar and leash is never to be taken off unless by me." I said before slipping his collar back on.

I walked into the house with him by my side. father stood there. "the twins are going to be punished by their father the same way you were. your still going to Italy with them in two days time and will be recollared again after there punishment." he told me.

I felt my eyes water. I dropped Enzos leash and ran away from him. "ACE!" I heard my father scream after me. I ran right up the stairs and into my room.

when I was 5 we had a bad break in and all the kids had there own panic rooms installed. only we knew the code. I entered mine and quickly locked it behind me.

I had blankets and pillows a bed and everything else I would need like clothes and food and a bathroom for almost a month. I would be damed if I let the twins take me.

one thing I always liked about the panic room was that it had security cameras showing the entire house. my dad was raging inside of my bedroom. the twins were there too and they looked pissed.

I decided to stay in here and risk punishment. I couldn't risk going to Italy. especially with them. I curled up on the bed and cried into my knees.

i was locked up for almost two years in a cell, then when I get out I'm almost immediately being shipped off.  my family doesn't love me. I was shaking, i could hear there yells to open the door, but I would not.

I could stay here for a month, so thats what I'm going to do. I fell asleep crying. i would not go to Italy without an attempt to delay.
