"-e up" I feel my body being shoved. "Wake up, dammit!" I hear Mi-Kira yell. I open my eyes and pain assaults me. Im back in her wagon. I have a head splitting headache and the back of my head is throbbing. The light in the wagon hurts my eyes. I see Mistress is still wearing her armor. I'm laying in the middle of the floor. She's glaring down at me with her foot against me rocking me back and forth. 

"About time you little mongrel." she growls. "I told you that you aren't allowed to sleep." She looks furious. I try to sit up, but my hands are now tied behind my back.

"B-but ill sleep with you in your bed tonight if you want, Mistress" I've already made this choice long ago. I may hate her, but I gain nothing from this torture. She scoffs at me then I feel pain in my stomach and the air in my lungs is forced out. I roll across the floor. I can't breath. My lungs are frozen. My eyes bug out as I desperately try to inhale. I can hear Miss-Kira talking.

"Did I say you can talk!?!" she screamed. "Why would I want you in my bed after you attacked and attempted to harm me?!" Mistress yelled at me. 'I attacked her?' The last thing I remember is her cleaning me and it felt good. 'Why would I attack her?' She doesn't give me time to think about it. I feel my arms being pulled and hear the rattle of the chain. I 'm starting to be dragged backwards by my arms. The pain is surprising.

I start to be lifted by my arms I scramble to stand up. it hurts too much. But even when i'm standing my arms are still being lifted. I'm on my tippy toes, but it doesn't help. My shoulders and wrists are screaming at me. I'm crying and snot is coming out of my nose. I'm forced to look at the ground in this position. I hear footsteps retreating. I turn my head to the side to look. Kira is next to a chest and she opens it. She starts undressing. I turn away. I hear buckles being undone and the sound of metal clinking. I think she is going to leave me like this all night. This is worse then hanging by the Collar.

I hear the chest close and she is nude with her big ass facing me. She walks over to another chest. I stop paying attention to her. My legs are shaking already. But there's nothing I can do.

Kira walks past me. She's wearing a different night gown tonight. I watch her go past then I hear a chair dragging across the floor I look over and she is sitting in front of the vanity looking in the mirror undoing her hair. I lose interest and look back at the floor. Her humming fills the silence. Eventually I hear the chair pushed back then I see her legs in front of me.

"Have a goodnight~" she sings and pats my head.

"You t-too, Mistress" I mutter. I don't want to get hit right now.

The legs move away towards the bed. I hear creaking and the sound of the blankets being pulled. I hear her groan. Then my night begins..

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

I see my mother this time. She is swinging a clothes hanger of all things at me. She starts to beat me with it yelling "You're useless! Useless! You hear me?! It's all your fault!!" she is drunk again. She becomes a different person when she drinks. Either she is suicidal or filled with rage. I see my big sister walk past. She doesn't even spare us a glance. I don't blame her.

Sometimes one of my legs would give out and the pain would make me lucid again. I would cry a little then go back into a daze.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

"Did you sleep well?" Mistr-Kira asks while rubbing my ears. I hate how good it feels.

"Yes, Mistress" I rasp. My throat is dry. She takes a knee then grabs my tail with one hand while still rubbing my ear with the other. She started to stroke it digging her hands into the fur. It felt wonderful. It's unfair. She happily laughed when I started to purr.

"You're too small" Kira complained with a pout. She had a thoughtful expression on her face. I shut my eyes. 

I felt the chain slack and I fell to the ground. I opened my eyes and she was handing me bread and a cup. I tried to move my hands and they weren't tied anymore. I received the food and water. My hands are not responding correctly. I end up dropping the bread. I panic and move that hand to the water so I don't spill it. Kira chuckled.

"T-thank you, Mstress." I immediately drank the water. I found the bread and started nibbling it like a squirrel. 'maybe i'm really a Squirrel-Kin' the thought cause me to giggle. 

"I've decided." Suddenly she announced. I look up. Her eyes are glowing and she has a big toothy smile. I see she has her armor back on and hair up in a top bun. Then she goes towards the desk and opens a drawer. 

"So much to do, but i want her. First i have to go talk to Rastlin." I heard her mutter. She muttered other things but too low for me to hear her.  

"You can sleep while i'm gone." Miss-Kira said as she went to the door.

"Yes, Mistress. Thank you, Mistress" I doubled down. 'Fuck yes!' I fell towards the ground almost asleep before I hit the ground. I heard the door open and close. Then I was out like a light.

I felt something pressing down on my head. It was moving between smushing one ear then moving to the other. I opened my eyes I was off the ground. Kira was holding me pressed against her chest and was rubbing her head against the top of my head. 'What is she? a cat?'

"Mistress?" I sleepily ask.

"Uh-huh. Now, isn't this a nice way to wake up~" Mistress asks. I would like to deny it, but a part of me (A giant part) is starved for skinship. This women is bonkers. Just last night she acted like she was going to flay me and now she is making love to my ears.

"Yes, M-Mistress." I'm starting to fall back to sleep. My eyes start to close. I couldn't have gotten more then an hour of sleep.

"Okay~" Mistress sets me on the ground in front of her gently. I groan in protest. I was very comfortable.

"I have some things I would like to ask you~." Mistr-Kira says. I turn to face her.

"O-okay, Mistress" Not again.

"What level are you~?" OH! I kinda forgot about all of that. I check my status real quick. Wow. I have a lot of notifications, but no time for that now. Everything looks the same i'm still level 1. My "Real quick" check must not have been. Kira has her arms crossed and she is tapping her foot.

"1, Mistress."

"Hahahah" Kira laughs. "Really?" She didn't have to laugh at me. I pout. I mean, I've only been alive for... how long has it been?

"Yes, Mistress."

"Have you never killed anything?"

"No, Mistress" This is actually true. Well except an animal here or there while driving. Even a bear one time, totaled my car. That was a shitty day.

"Good. Perfect." She beams. "Do you have any skills or spells?" I hate this. 'What should I say?' All of my skills say [ERROR]. Actually wasn't my transformation skill okay? If you ask me the pain should be an error, but it doesn't say anything. 'I shou-(SMACK) aaand i'm on the ground. 

"Don't want to say? It's pointless not to, you know. I'll find out everything tomorrow~." Mistress says with a smug grin. 'What does that mean? What does she mean everything? How will she know? What will happen tomorrow? I nee- "Ahhhh" i'm rolling across the floor coughing. I'm taking to long to respond.

"Why are you so Stubborn?" Kira muses. "Well, i'll work that out of you eventually." she states. Kira approaches me with the chain. My hands are tied back behind my back and i'm hung back up by the chain. There is a shooting pain in my right side. I think she fractured a rib or two with that last kick. Mistress is now sitting at the desk.

"I think we will stay in the village for a few days." I can hear her talking lightly under her breath. "If her status lines up with what she has said i'll take her to the loca-." I can't hear anything else. I wonder how long I can survive this. Do I even want to? I used to have a set of rules that I could never break. Do they even really apply anymore? Idk. Just because my mind seems to be the same, I don't think my "sins" carry over to a new body right? Besides who knows what will happen when I die. I thought my last life was hell. I'm now thinking the same of this one. Or maybe i'm just unlucky, very unlucky. 

'I'll just hang here for awhile.' I smile at my joke. I think I know why Mistress-Kira has such a big ass. All she does is sit at that desk all day. What could she be doing? Counting her money like Scrooge McDuck? 

"heheheh" I giggle.

"Having fun?" I jerk my head towards her.

"N-n-no, Mistress." She is getting up and coming towards me. 'Shit! You stupid fucking idiot!' She goes behind me and I get more slack and end up back on my feet. I am pleasantly surprised. Maybe she isn't that bad. Maybe I should smile and laugh more. I feel her hands on my Collar and I hear a (Clink) then i'm raised back up. Only this time its both my arms and the Collar being pulled. This is terrible. She is bad and I should not smile and laugh when being punished or maybe even ever.

"Enjoy yourself~, hehehe." Then she went back to the desk. The only thing im thinking is that I should have snuggled with her that first night.
