Nessie's POV:

I was in my new room, when suddenly, I looked up to see that Tom had come in, behind him, I could see that he was leading in a young couple, who must be my new owners, I was still new to this thing, Mommy didn't go into much detail about what she had told me, and as the new couple looked at me, I noticed that they both turned sharply to Tom, who said a moment later, answering their silent question in the process, "Right, Mother, Father, meet Nessie, my sub. Nessie, meet your new Master and Mistress."

It was a long second before my new Mistress did say something, however, she snarled, her voice sharp, and gray eyes narrowed at me, "Nessie, is that your name, child?"

I nodded, suddenly on edge with my new Mistress, who snapped a moment later, while clapping her hands loudly at me, as if I wasn't paying attention to her, "Speak, child! Why would anyone want a sub who is silent all the time?"

I was about to answer, when she sneered at me, "Don't answer that."

I quickly fought back a growl at my new Mistress, she only continued, "You are to refer to us as 'Master' and 'Mistress', got it?"

I forced myself to say loud enough for her to hear, hiding the hurt and fear in my voice and in my eyes, not letting any of them see any sign of weakness, "Yes, Mistress."

She said, "You will be expected to take no other orders from no other Lord and/or Lady, is that clear? You are bound to one family, and one family only."

I said a bit more clearly, hiding the ever growing fear, "Yes, Mistress."

She continued, "While out in public, you are to sit with upper-class subs, who have been brought up to learn the proper way a sub should really behave while out in public, therefore, we will be having other Lord's and Lady's from the upper class to train and teach you the proper way. You will hold up our name with pride to have been chosen by the Hudson family. Do you understand?"

I said, hiding my horror, "Yes, Mistress."

She snarled, her voice suddenly turned into ice, "Break any of these exceptions, especially out in public, you will be receiving lashings and no meals. Do you understand?"

I quickly said, "Yes, Mistress."

She looked me up and down, taking in my paler than normal skin color, bronze curly hair, golden color eyes, after a few moments, she came forth to inspect my hands, taking both of them in her long fingers, however, when she was about to turn them over, I pulled away from her, turning my back on her as quickly as possible, hiding the pale thin marks that Kate had given me in hopes that Mommy would gain better control over her shield when she was only a newborn.

Mistress said sharply, grabbing my shoulder, in hopes that I would turn around to face her, "How dare you turn away from your new Mistress! What do you have to say for yourself?"

I froze on the spot, unable to do what she asked me to do, I couldn't show them, I couldn't let them see, I hid my hands in my pockets, hiding the scars and the engagement ring that Jake had given me, it suddenly put me on edge, however, I didn't know what happened next, I'm not sure, but I swore I heard my name being called.

The next thing I knew, was that Mommy and Jake were in front of me, both of them looking worried, especially Mommy, who quickly shot Tom a heated glare so hard, that all he could do was not attack Mommy as she soon had me in her arms, she ignored the glares from my new Master and Mistress, but as she was carrying me into my bathroom, I heard her whisper softly, almost to herself, "I have to..."

Just before she was about to make it into the bathroom, one of her mates, Nick, snapped at Mommy, "Isabella, what do you think you're doing?"

Mommy was fighting the urge to move at vampire speed, she only walked a bit more faster, her eyes suddenly glazed as she fought to remain calm, especially in front of my Master and Mistress, who couldn't stop glaring at Mommy.

She soon made it to the bathroom, where she tripped over her own two feet, it only made her growl out low, "Just this once..."

However, I suddenly realized the tub filled with ice-cold water, I shook my head at her, telling her, "No, Mommy, I don't want to go in just yet, please, Mommy."

Then I realized that she wasn't listening, as she knelt down beside the tub, she held me in place as I begun to struggle in her arms, the more she lowered me into the ice-cold water, the more she began to fall into some sort of trance.

I didn't like this new side of Mommy, she didn't seem to hear her mates calling out to her through the door, once I was completely surrounded by water, that's when I saw the girl sitting next to Mommy.

The girl had long black hair covering her face, however, under the hair, I could only see hate in her small pale face, as she stared at me, her soulless eyes suddenly turning to look in front of herself, Mommy also turned, and all she did was hold me under the water, while she gazed at someone in front of her.

That's when the water suddenly turned freezing, but a moment later, I realized that I felt a second pair of hands hold me down, Mommy could only reach out to cup the girl's face, and she suddenly said, her voice unnaturally dark and cold, "I will make sure of it, don't worry, it will be done."

I suddenly tried to jump out of the water, when Mommy and the girl turned to only watch the third invisible person tried to keep me under water, a few moments later, I finally manage to get out of the water, but I didn't see the girl or the third person anywhere, however, that didn't stop me from asking Mommy, who only stared, unblinkly at me, a blank expression on her face, "Mommy, whose that?"

Mommy only stood up, all she said was as she headed for the door, "Now you've done it!"

However, I soon had my answer to my next question, right behind me, I heard the most sickening evil demonizes voice say in my ear, a pale ice cold hand suddenly landing on my mouth, silencing my gasp, "She's mine! She had already sealed her fate and soul! She belongs to me..."

It was the most coldest laugh that I had ever heard, as the door suddenly flew open, revealing the group, Mommy suddenly said, her voice darker than ever before, "She's back..."

Mommy smiled, and she started cackling, loud, evil, and dark cackling too, we soon realized that a darkness was hovering right over Mommy, that's when I realized that the darkness was the girl and the other person, as the darkness circled around Mommy, her cacklings becoming more than just cackles, they suddenly turned into giggles.

Harry, Mommy's other mate, sneaked up behind Mommy, who froze on the spot, as Harry covered her mouth with his hand, and he sneered at Nick, "Get that bloody cage, now. Before I'm forced to do it myself!"

As Nick went to get the cage, Mommy was struggling to get free from her mate, however, when she did, she glared at him, her gold eyes suddenly had a mad glint in them, and she snarled, unawareof that the large group was now listening to all that was being said, "Finally, after all these years! We shall get what was meant to be ours, in the first place! We will always-"

Realization suddenly dawned on Harry, his green eyes widened slightly with shock, however, Mommy's cage landed on top of Mommy, who screamed in rage, her gold eyes turning to glare at Nick, who stood in front of the cage alongside Harry, who pulled out a stick, and waved it around the cage, muttering something in Latin.

Mommy, however, started banding her hands at the cage's bars, clearly frustrated about something, and she snapped, eyes glowing mad, "Let me out! You can't keep me in here!"

Harry only said, while pocketing the stick, and turning to Nick, "Let's get her to her room, from there, I have to explain something to every-"

Mommy cut in, and she hissed darkly, "You will NOT say a word of this to anyone!"

We all were now looking between the two of them, something was up, and we all knew it too.

As they started out with Mommy, we all heard her snarling at her owners and two mates, "No! You can't keep me in this blasting bloody cage! You just can't do this! Let me out!"

However, as Tom helped me out of the tub, I was shocked, Mommy had never done or said anything like this before, she had never act like that before, and especially not in front of the family either.

Mommy will come back, I thought sadly as Tom tried to get me to say something, but I couldn't, I know that Mommy will come back.

She always dose.
