I had no idea how long I was in that chair. I think I was allowed brief breaks to nap, eat, drink, use the bathroom, but the whole thing was a haze.

 

I think I tried to resist at first. But I really was helpless against it, and I knew that the longer I tried to resist, the longer I'd be kept there.

 

Not that I really minded. Alicia was right. It felt wonderful. I remember the last time I was allowed a break, maybe to use the bathroom, I let out a little whimper of disappointment as the goggles were removed from my eyes. I remember His voice, as He stroked my hair, saying "That's right, my pet. It won't be much longer, now."

 

My first real, clear memory is waking up to... someone. A woman. I... knew her. Yes! She was another pet! She was hopping excitedly beside me.

 

And Him. He was smiling at me from behind her.

 

His smile filled me with happiness and excitement. But then I started to cry. How could I know how to please Him again in the future if I did not know what I had done to please Him now?

 

He reached out and took me in His arms, wiping my tears away.

 

"No need to cry, my pet. We'll take things slow and I'll explain everything. There's no need to rush. We have all the time in the world, unless you'd like to leave?"

 

He smiled as I shook my head emphatically.

 

"NO! Please! No, I don't want to leave! Please let me stay!"

 

"Good pet. Very, very good pet. Not to worry. You're mine now."
