Best Friends Forever

Alice blinked.
Free...?

She took a moment to realize she was being given food. Placing it in her lap, she went back to staring blankly at the wall.

"I don't think you could call this free, in all honesty." She kicked at the chains. "I'm bound within certain limits. I'm as free as the murders in the county jails..." She picked up the sandwich and took a small careful bite. "Better fed, I must admit." She paused again. "I'm like a pet?"

"Yes!" Aveira agreed happily. "You're my best friend," she repeated. "Now I can keep you safe and brush your hair and dress you up and we'll be best friends forever!" She giggled happily and snuggled next to Alice while she was eating. A blissful smile filled her face, making her look more like an innocent child than a kidnapper.

Alice blinked and kept eating.

I suppose this is the end of a normal life...

She continued with the sandwich. It wasn't half bad.

Unless I can break this damn chain...

She looked at the girl pressed against her.

Then I have to go through her, and something tells me, that won't be easy...

Alice drew a light sigh and finished the sandwich. As long as she was fed, kept clean, and not left to rot, being someone's pet couldn't be awful.

Fuck. That.

"Why? What compels you to chain me up? What even makes you think you'll succeed in keeping me?"

Nuzzling her pet happily, Aveira ignored her questions completely. "We're going to have so much fun together! I know we will!" Putting on a consoling expression, she patted Alice's shoulder and said, "I know this is all a little much to take in--you must be overwhelmed by all this excitement--but you'll get used to it in a couple days. If you're a very god girl, maybe I'll even let you outside once in a while!"

Let me outside?

Alice winced a bit. She could behave, but could she run when she got the chance?

"Time will tell how that goes, then," she said, finishing the sandwich. "Can I just go lay down for a bit? Maybe this is all some crazy dream I'll wake up from."

"Sure!" Aveira said. "Your bed's over there," she said, pointing at the mattress. The fact that she could point so accurately should have shown how well she knew the room, if not her uncanny ability to know where things were without seeing them. "There are several pretty nightgowns in the chest beside the bed, if you want. Also, I added a button to one side of all your underwear so you can change them later without getting them all stuck on the leash." Standing up, Aveira grabbed Alice's garbage and threw it away in a small trash bin near the fridge. "I'm gonna go run some errands, but I'll be back soon! Good night, dolly!"

Alice sighed, and changed into a gown that reminded her of her youth. She curled into the fetal position on the bed, and sighed. It couldn't be all bad, but she couldn't be sure of that. She didn't think she would fall asleep any time soon, but she kept motionless, regardless.

Aveira left, humming happily.
