Prologue ⚠️

⚠️TW// abuse⚠️

I tug against the rope holding my wrists above my head, panting heavily from the exertion. The thick blindfold covering my eyes is working wonders at absorbing my tears and the ball gag secured around my head is causing my jaw to ache. I have no idea how long I've been strung up here, but it's been long enough that my legs are starting to shake from the efforts of keeping myself upright and the muscles in my shoulders have gone past pain and morphed into this weird numb feeling. I hadn't meant to disobey him - I really didn't. I just wanted to see my best friend. That should be allowed, shouldn't it?

After what felt like hours, I finally heard his heavy footsteps coming down the stairs into our in-home dungeon and instantly feel relief. That relief, however, was short lived as I felt the sharp crack of a whip against my back. I scream out in agony as best as I can around the gag and let out a sob, tugging harder at the restraints. Single tails were a red for me, and he knew that, but he didn't give me a way to non-verbally safe-word out of the situation and I can't exactly speak at the moment. I'm stuck. After three more strikes, I hear the whip drop against the floor and I let out a sob of relief. I can feel blood trickling down my back and the blindfold officially can't absorb any more moisture so the tears are flowing steadily down my heated cheeks.

"Ready to apologize, slut?" he sneers, lips pressed against my ear. I flinch away from him and nod frantically. He unbuckles the gag and I immediately start sputtering apologies.

"I'm s-so so-sorry, Sir. I d-didn't mean to ang-ger y-you. Pl-please, S-sir. I p-promise I won't d-do it a-again, Sir." I mentally curse myself for stuttering, but it's the best I can do through the pain and sobs escaping my lips. He pulls the blindfold off and I blink rapidly, trying to focus on him through my blurry vision. His cold blue eyes and brown hair slowly come into focus, anger etched into every one of his features.

"I don't know if I believe you. Seems to me like you need a lesson on who you belong to." My eyes widen as I know exactly what this means and I start shaking my head immediately.

"Y-you, Sir. I belong to you!" I cry out as I see a glint of shiny metal out of the corner of my eye. I feel the sharp blade press against my throat and immediately stop breathing as I stare at him with wide, pleading eyes.

"That's right, slut. You belong to me, and I'm going to make sure you don't ever forget that again." He slowly drags the blade down my neck and chest, not applying enough pressure to cut but enough to make me tremble with fear.

"P-please, Sir, I'm so sorry. I'm yours, I kn-know I'm yours. I l-love y-you." Another sob escapes my lips as he pushes the blade a little further. I cry out in pain as I feel it cut my pale flesh and try and pull away. "R-red! N-no, s-stop! R-RED!" I scream and hang my head as I hear the blade clatter to the floor. Rough fingers grip my chin and pull my head up to meet his cold gaze.

"You're so fucking weak. Absolutely pathetic, I don't know why I put up with it to be honest. You're a disgrace."

He undoes the ropes around my wrists and I immediately collapse to the ground, whimpering as my knees hit the cold, hard concrete. I curl up in the fetal position and continue to sob as I hear his footsteps disappearing again. I end up crying myself to sleep, like I do so often, and for the first time in my life, I truly wish I were dead, just so I could escape this torture.
