Usually once a contract was sealed I liked to get the rules that would last for the duration of our agreement. The basics, such as do not betray me, lie to me or harm me in any way, were given here…if the person had any common sense.
"I do not want to be betrayed, lied to, abandoned, kept waiting and I want to remain beautiful at all times. I enjoy seeing beautiful robins." I laughed.
"A robin? I'm quite far from a robin. In the realm of birds, I consider myself to be more a vulture or condor."
"Not a raven or a crow?" My master questioned with a small chuckle.
"No, I know the owner of that particular title." I had never met him personally but I knew of him.
"But you are as darkly beautiful as a raven or a crow." He pouted at my rejection of his statement.
"Thank you, master. Your compliments are far too kind." I smiled.
"There must be some sort of pet name I can give you!" He moved from the sofa acting as he had when I first arrived. It was clear he was quite melodramatic; I could see this in his movements. My master was the type of person who took the phrase "All the world's a stage" to heart. "all the beautiful belongings of mine must have equally beautiful pet names!"
"Don't fret master I'm sure you will dream up the perfect pet name when the time is right." He nodded agreeing with me.
"Yes of course! One can't be expected to think of such brilliance immediately!" Smiling he returned to his seat on the sofa. His flair was rather amusing and entertaining…however we had a bit more business to discuss.
"Master I believe I need to teach you the proper way to order me. I am yours to command and you should do so as effectively as possible. All you must do is say "I order you to" or "that's an order"."
"Martica, I order you to never betray me, lie to me, abandon me, keep me waiting and to look as beautiful as you can at all times."
"Understood, master." My master smiled, enjoying being able to command such a powerful force.
"Master, may I ask a question?" He nodded, agreeing. "Why do I sense souls beneath us?" Souls that were in misery and begged to be saved. Instead of answering my question with words, he rose.
"It would be easier to show you." After all he could trust me now. Once the order was made, I was unable to betray him. Any information given to me was safe. Following him, we left the parlor and walked towards a door to the cellar. Opening the door one could see a staircase and complete darkness.
After crossing the door, he grabbed a lantern and lit it. Proceeding down the stairs, I could sense souls not far off. First, he went through a wine cellar and then stopped at a wall, revealing a hidden door. Stepping inside, I could see a few women in cages. Upon entering the room, they scurried to the back of the cages and whimpered. They were in fear of him and once I smirked they became afraid of me, tears flowed from their eyes. What helpless creatures they were. One could easily observe their miserable conditions. To me it seemed as though they had been here for some time. They had not been bathed for quite some time…I could smell that much. There was a table nearby with some blood stains rather close and an assortment of surgical tools.
"These are my robins and they are going to be sold to the highest bidder at my next auction party." Perhaps the women here had been unable to be sold previously hence their current conditions.
"What are they sold for?"
"Many of my customers are a part of religious cults, brothel owners; I believe a few might be cannibals. Some may simply enjoy a personal pet." My smirk only deepened. He was selling these women with no regard for what happened to them afterwards. His greed truly knew no depth and there was no guilt in his soul. Quite devious and entirely appealing.
"I imagine that you would like assistance in this matter?" He seemed surprised by that question, as if he had never expected me to desire to assist.
"Yes, someone needs to feed them and clean them and get them ready for the auction. I've on a few occasions forgotten to feed them before and it's a waste of merchandise. My customers also seem to prefer when they look their most beautiful."
"Of course, but I would guess that this sort of merchandise is difficult to obtain."
"Extremely it can also be rather expensive. I have to buy the chloroform in order to keep them quiet and they can be violent and dangerous before it sets in." He glared at one. There were implements for punishment; such a whip hanging on the wall in clear view of the cages. It was as if they were constant warnings. I could spot a fading mark upon her face. I was sure the others had such marks as well. My master moved towards an implement on the wall and removed it. Snapping the whip before the cage the woman began to cry and shake. She pressed herself against the back of the cage hoping to be spared from punishment. Perhaps she had injured him during collection. If he was collecting the merchandise himself and in that manner it was highly likely that he had sustained a few injures.
"I would be able to collect them without needing chloroform." I could hit important pressure points and render them unconscious.
"It would be wonderful to have a larger profit. Would you also be able to collect more robins?"
"You need only order me master."
"Then that will be another one of your duties. Do be sure not get caught and to keep them intact." I nodded accepting the order. I strolled past the cages and stopped at the most frightened girl. I stood and smirked at her.
"Humans are nothing more than tools to benefit from. So fragile and weak, those who are not able to climb to the top or reach the next level of evolution are too lucky to have a purpose or worth at all. If you don't want to be victim then you should find those who are strong to lend you their power. Those who do not are fools and are only asking for death and abuse." I rose to the floor turning to my master. "Don't you agree?" I asked him.
"I feel similarly."
"Am I allowed to play with them if I grow bored?"
"Yes feel free, but don't damage them, my customers prefer their goods to be in pristine condition regardless of whether or not they're buying the whole package or the pieces. It's difficult for me to get a peaceful rest when they won't be quiet, so do be sure to silence them." What a wonderful amount of autonomy he was allowing me. I did so love when I was allowed some range.
Having no further business here we returned to the parlor. He took a seat but I remained standing. "Are there any other tasks you require me to complete master?"
"I have guests frequently and…they might enjoy some entertainment~." His meaning in that sentence was crystal clear. It was nothing different than what I had done in the past. "Also assistance with my auctions and the regular tasks a maid performs."
"Will I also be entertaining you master?" I stressed the word entertaining.
"Perhaps, if the mood strikes me." There was a pause as he considered a question. "Is there anything you need besides my soul? Things that would help you perform at your best? I want to get the most for my soul."
"I work much more efficiently and effective after being fed and even better after my lust has been sated preferably from my contracted party. Allowing me the soul from one of your enemies often would help." I need not explain the second statement.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, my only question is what more can I do for you master? Surely there are things only I can provide for you. You have an ultimate power at your fingertips who wants nothing more than to serve you."
"Do you have any limits? Restrictions?"
"My only restrictions are the ones you give master. I am to be used to your heart's content. I am your tool to wield. Use me master~" I purred wanting to entice him. I wanted to stir the lust in his soul as it had seemed a bit dormant.
"If I was to order you to jump off a cliff?"
"Then you would find me at the bottom of that cliff." I replied.
"What about discipline you won't be able to please me all the time?" A small smirk graced his face at the idea of punishing me.
"I will strive to perform beyond expectations but if you believe me to be worthy of punishment then I will bear it and beg for your forgiveness." He blushed mildly as he formed yet another question.
"What if I was to demand you to…please me with fellatio?" I dropped to my knees before him with a smirk and made eye contact.
"Would this position be effective master?"
"You wouldn't do such a thing in public" He scoffed.
"On the contrary I would. As long as you bear my seal I am yours." He turned away as if to ponder the possibilities. There was a pause.
"Are there any other details I must be aware of?" He turned back to me regaining his assumed air of confidence. My master radiated dominance, I imagined he would become more comfortable ordering me as our contract went on.
"Also I forgot to mention, I have a younger cousin named Alois. I enjoy his company and he holds me in high regards so he visits often. Like me does not have much family left…and it would be a shame if his image of me was tarnished. My activities are not to be spoken of and I want them to be a secret. Do not reveal your true nature to anyone, especially him." It was quite common for the contract holders to prefer to keep the contract a secret especially from family members. They often times not want people they cared for to alter their image based on this one decision. I didn't mind though it would make certain tasks more difficult.
"That would be all for now."
