The morning after the torture.

Mephiles' pov.

After what Sonic put Shadow through, I knew we had to act fast so that Shadow could live to see another day. But I wanted to be a little civil about this and negotiate Shadow's return home. So I went to Sonic's castle and I went to his office where we could reach an agreement for Shadow's release.

As soon as I entered Sonic's office, I heard "Welcome Mephiles. How are you doing?" He asked. It took everything in me not to growl or claw at him. "I know you took Shadow. I'm here to discuss terms for her to return to me, as soon as possible." I told him as calm as I could manage. I say him go wide eyed for a moment, but just as quick as it came it vanished and was replaced with a look of amusement. And he . . . chuckled.

I wanted to wipe that smile of his face but somehow I managed to keep my expression neutral. "How did you know I took her. Well, nevermind. She was a little troublesome at the start of her stay, but she got over it quick. Would you like to see her, Mephiles?" I had to clench my hands into fists so I could seem calm, but answered.

"If she's still alive after a month in your care, then yes I would." Next thing I know, Sonic is getting up and leaving, after ten minutes he returns. This time I see him holding a leash, which is attached to a blue collar on Shadow's neck. She comes in crawling on all fours, wearing nothing but cuffs on her ankles and wrists, a red thong, a blindfold, and a big red ball gag in her mouth with two straps attached to her collar and the other two around her neck.

Shadow's pov.

Sonic came into the bedroom. I started to tremble and then he pulled me into a gentle hug and whispered into my ear. "We have a guest and I need you to get dressed." After that he let me go and got what I'd need to 'get dressed' in. I was still naked from last night and I tried to cover myself with my hands as I stood, but Sonic just grabbed a pair of cuffs and cuffed my hands behind my back.

Then Sonic turned me around and bent me over the bed. I was afraid he would spank or hit me, but I saw him grab the blindfold and tie it tightly over my eyes. "M-master, what a-are you doing?!" I asked as I felt his hand stroke my tail as the other went under me and groped my breast. Luckily, it lasted only a second but he whispered in a lustful voice, "Lift up your foot so I can get you dressed and no fussing or" 'SMACK' "AHHH!" I screamed in pain as he slapped my ass, unfortunately I also felt a little turned on. "Y-yes, master. I u-understand completely."

I did as he said and lifted my right foot, I felt him grab my leg and slip something on to it. After, what I assume is the red thong I saw, was pulled just above my ankle, he said in the same tone, "Now, put your leg down and lift the other one up." I did as I was told and again I felt something being pulled up my leg. I put my leg down on the ground and my breath hitched as Sonic lifted up the thong all the way to my privates. I squeaked as Sonic pulled the thong a bit too rough (kinda like a wedgie if you think about it). "Something wrong, Shadow? Did I pull your thong a little to hard?"

He asked in a sarcastic tone and pulled a little harder and I . . . moaned. It came out before I could stop it and I heard him chuckle, but thankfully he pulled it out a little and let it go. I breath a sigh of relief from my mouth, but apparently Sonic took that opportunity to put the ball gag in my mouth. I felt the gag get tighter as the buckle was fastened, then I heard the 'click' of it attaching to my collar. Next thing was the second pair of cuffs were being put on my ankles. I squeaked again as Sonic slapped my ass again.

He undid the cuffs on my wrists only to put them back on with my hands in front of me. Another 'click' sound must be the leash, I was unfortunately proven right as I felt a tug on my collar. I got off the bed and got on all fours. I felt the tugging of the leash and followed it so I wouldn't bump into anything. I soon heard a door open, but kept moving.

Normal pov.

Mephiles was shocked as he saw Shadow being lead. He reached his hand out to pet her head. But Sonic spoke before he could. "You might not want to touch her. She is in desperate need of a bath. She's such a little whore sometimes, am I right, Shadow." At first Shadow did nothing but sit, after a minute she nodded and whimpered. Then she said, or best she could anyway. "Plz tak th blndfld off, maser." Sonic replied "Since you asked so nicely, I'll take off the blindfold."

Sonic took of the blindfold and as soon as it was off. Shadow looked at the guest and went wide eyed. Tears of joy started to show in her eyes with a look that said 'I'm so glad you're here, my love!'
