Someone knocked on Master’s door and for just a moment one small moment, Cherry almost allowed herself to hope that she would be freed.
Master opened the door. “What do you want, Jack?” Master growled.
“Did you hear about the missing girl?”
“I wasn’t aware anyone was missing,” Master lied.
“If you see her-”
“Yes, I’ll let you know,” Master tried to get rid of his unwanted guest.
Jack finally took the hint and left.
Master turned back and went to the basement. “You thought you were going to be freed, didn’t you?”
Cherry shook her head.
“What did I tell you about using your words, Cherry?’
“So sorry, Master. No, I wasn’t.”
“Don’t lie to me, Cherry!”
“No no, Master. I would never.”
“Let’s be clear, Cherry. You are mine and you will obey me! Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes, sir.”
“Good girl. Now I’ll bring you dinner. No funny business.”
