Tamed - Tanjiro

Black. Everything was pitch black, and there was nothing but the cold stares of the dark. I could hear footsteps coming closer, and closer, and closer, until it came close enough, and reared to a stop, with an awakening clang. I suddenly jerked awake to a searing pain in my left cheek, and glanced upward, to the culprit to the sting I was feeling. The culprit wore black silk pyjamas and a frightening smirk, that could make anyone freeze out of fear.

"Muzan! How could you? Why do you even need me? Release-"

Muzan held a finger up to his lips. "Shush child, my family is sleeping on the floors above, and we wouldn't want to wake them up, now would we?"

I stood there petrified as my first memories of Muzan flowed through my mind. Muzan had a human wife and human daughter and walked around freely as if he were human which made me want to puke. I wonder if his family knew he was a demon, if they had accepted them. 

As I stood there horrified, Muzan got bored of staring at my panic-stricken face and pulled out something long, thin, and black. My eyes widened once I realized what he took out.  A whip. He was pulling out a whip. He then turned to me, gave me a cold smile, and walked towards me.

"No, what are going to do with that? Get back! You can't!"

He continued to come closer. "What's wrong? All I'm doing is what any good owner should be doing. If the dog is bad and behaves inappropriately, then of course it's the owner's job to punish the misbehaving dog."

With those words out, he began with the whipping. At least one whip to each of the places in my body, and I screamed in pain, but the more and harder I screamed, the harder and faster he'd start whipping me. I couldn't take it anymore and started to cry and beg for Muzan to stop, but he didn't listen and continued.

After a few minutes, Muzan went back to his little box, and I felt a wave of relief, maybe I had convinced him to stop. Maybe he had gotten his rationality back and realized that what he was doing was wrong. Not long after, Muzan shoved a gag into my mouth and started to whip me even harder than before.

"Good. you're not screaming as much anymore. I was afraid you were going to wake up my family, but now look at you, you're all quiet." Muzan smirked.

I shot Muzan a glare, before going back to screaming, and crying. After a few minutes, my body could not handle the pain, and I started to cough up blood through the gag. I continued to cough up pools of blood for what seemed like hours before Muzan set down his whip, and stretched.

"Oh man! That felt good, but that was way too short! Maybe I'll be generous to myself next time and go a little longer. It has been way too long. Welp, I need to catch up on some rest, I'll leave the gag in so that you don't annoy anyone in my family. If I ever catch you trying to sneak away, I'll always find you, catch you, and tear from limb to limb." Muzan gave me a menacing glance.

With that, Muzan left me alone in the dark, and in a pool of my own blood, while I bled out. I tightened my fist as I swore to myself, I will bring you down and make you pay for everything you did to not only my family and me but to humanity too. You will pay.
