Chapter 28

Bonding Time With The Colgate Sisters

×

*Valentina's POV

I had been so worried when I heard her banging on a door and start to scream out for help. I had sped towards her and found out she was inside the storage room. I immediately thought back to the story she told me, about her old master locking her in a room after a punishment and had quickly opened the door.

She fell againt me and her fist had slammed against my chest. I barely felt it though, she could never physically hurt me because she is a human. She's not strong enough for that.

I had noticed that her hand was bruising and I gave her my blood to speed her healing process.

Then, all of a sudden, she started begging me not to punish her. At first I didn't know why she would think she had done something wrong but quickly remembered that she had accidentally hit me.

She thought that she had hurt me and shown disrespect and was getting punished for it. If she had done it on purpose I would have, but I know very well it wasn't her intention. She had nothing to worry about.

"Look at me." I said as I gently grabbed her chin. I noticed Catherine leaving the room, giving me some alone time with Evelyn.

"You are not in trouble okay? You panicked and weren't in control of your body and actions." She nodded her head but still looked guilty.

"How about you go do some reading or draw something in your sketchbook? The whole reason I took you here was so you can have some time away and not have to worry about other people or vampires."

"I'm sorry for ruining the day master." She softly said while looking down.

"You haven't ruined anything. It's just getting started. And you may call me Valentina when we are alone, remember?" She looked up at me before looking around the room, surely searching for my sister.

"It's weird, calling you by your first name. And we're not alone. Miss Catherine is here too." I gave her a comforting smile.

"I understand that it will be a hard habit to break but just know that you don't need to call me master when is just us. Same thing regarding my sister. You can call us by our first names when we are together. I'm sure she has already told you you could do so when you are alone with her." She nodded her head, thinking about what I had just said.

We stayed on the couch for a little while longer and then she went to grab her sketchbook from the bedroom.

I watched as she came back and seated herself by one of the windows. She looked outside and began drawing the view. It made me happy to see her doing such simple activities. I sometimes wondered what she had drawn in the sketchbook but refrained from looking through it. It seemed sort of like a journal and it would feel wrong to just look in it. Maybe I'll ask her later.

As I was admiring my pet, I felt my sister take a seat next to me on the couch, she was sipping on a blood bag. I noticed her looking at me from the corner of my eye and wanted to know why she was smiling like an idiot.

"What?"

"I'm glad to have you back big sis." I turned to look at her and stared at her for a while. She hadn't called me sis in a long time. She used to call me that when we were kids. I thought about her words and realized what she meant.

My humanity was back. And that meant I was back. Back to my old self.

"Glad to be back. I couldn't have done it without her." I said as I returned my eyes back to my angel. She looked so beautiful in the light, with the sun starting to set behind her and her tongue sometimes sticking out a bit as she concentrated on her art.

"I knew she was the right one." Catherine told me as the both of us looked at my pet with loving eyes.

-

The sun had set and it was now dark out. We had lit some candles that were spread across the room and the fire was burning bright, making my pet nice and warm.

She had joined us after she had finished her drawing. We had talked for a bit and played some board games that were here.

Right now, we were doing a card game called Uno. It had been a while since I played a game and I was glad that we were having fun. It felt so normal.

My angel had never played the game and we needed to explain a lot before we could play, but it was worth it when she understood what to do and had a happy smile on her face.

The only thing that seemed out of place in this picture was her collar. But at the same time it fit too. She didn't seem to mind it and I'm sure that she would actually be upset if I choose to remove it.

I came out of my thoughts as I heard the stomach of my pet rumble. Her cheeks turned red from embarrassment.

"Are you hungry my angel? I brought some food for you, would you like to have it now?"

"Yes please." She answered me like a good girl.

I got up from my place and walked over to the refrigerator where I had stored her dinner and breakfast for tomorrow. My sister had also placed some blood bags in it.

I heated up her food in the microwave to the right temperature and took it out. It was some basic Mac and Cheese. I grabbed some cutlery and walked back to the living room.

I placed the plate in front of my pet and began to sit down when I noticed her shocked expression as she looked between the plate and me.

"Do you not like it?" I asked her.

"I do. It's just, um, why did I get it on a plate?" I realized then that she had eaten from a bowl off the ground for probably so long, it had become her new normal. I hadn't thought to serve it that way for her.

"You may eat it at the table for now. But I understand your confusion, I'm sorry. I hadn't realized." She nodded her head but didn't eat. Instead she continued to stare at the plate with food in front of her.

"Could I maybe eat it on the ground?" She had said so quietly, I'm sure a human wouldn't have heard.

"If that's what makes you comfortable my angel."

"Please?" She looked at me with begging eyes. And that's when I realized that she's more broken than I thought. It would take a long time for her to recover from her slave habits.

"All right. Take your plate with you and kneel next to me on the ground." My dom side came out and I watched as she immediately got up, following my orders.

I looked down as she took a seat next to me and handed me her fork and knife. I took it without question and watched as she leaned down and started eating her dinner with her mouth.

I sighed at the sight and leaned down to stroke her head softly. "Good girl. You're my good girl." I praised her for her good behavior. I think she and I both needed this. A pet being comforted by her master.

She had been controlled for a long time. And now, she didn't know how to without it. I can give her that guidance till she learns her old ways again. And slowly but surely she will. I am going to make sure of that.

I saw my sister give me a sad smile as we watched Evelyn in silence as she enjoy her food. When she was done, I wiped her mouth and gave her a bottle of water.
