Her mistress smiled and came up to her, holding her chin to look into her. She brushed the hair out of the poor girls eye and wiped the tear away. She smiled, but not a scary one. A friendly one. A warm one. She had finally broken her. Now it was time to repair her.
"But despite all your faults, you are truly a good pet." she said with a smile and undid the chains and let her rest on the floor. "Apology accepted. Now, tell your Mistress what did you want to ask her. And don't forget to call me 'Mistress', pet. I can be cruel, but I can also be kind. It all depends on how YOU act. Understand?" she asked, knowing the pills would make her feel grateful towards her for this, but if she was a good person, she didn't need the pills to be thankful for this act of reprieve.
