"This will be over before you know it" Alex said as he led Lucy. Lucy was miserable and hated this.

"Who goes there?"

"Just a fellow dog and his slave" Alex said giving a hard pull as he said slave. Lucy almost fell to the ground. She looked up, coming face to face with a dog. The dog led the way. They arrived at the dog camp. Alex and Lucy saw the Cat's Bane docked.

"We can put her with the others" the dog said to Alex.

"I would rather she be kept separated from the rest." Alex explained.

"Sure we can do that." The dog said taking the chain leash from Alex. He led her to small building and hooked the chain to the floor and put a lock on it. He stood up and left her alone.

"Hello" Alex said. The dog who first greeted Alex stood next to him.

"Sherman, nice to meet you." Sherman said shaking Alex's hand.

"Alex" Alex responded shaking Sherman's hand. Michael was playing with this daughter a few feet away. He looked up at the newcomer. He moved his head to the right. He saw the dog was missing his left eye. He heard that the newcomer brought a cat with him. Michael told his daughter he would be right back and got up and walked over to the building where the cats were kept. He looked in the cage on the right. He turned around not seeing any new cats. He turned right moving into the other room. He tripped falling down he looked up.

"Oh" he smirked. "Hello Commodore Asshole"

"…"

"What no hello?"

"I am begging you!"

"So now the table has turned and you are at my mercy."

"You have ANY IDEA what they would do me?!"

"I think I have a good idea."

"Far worse than anything we could have done to you! We are bound by the law! These dogs are only limited by their imagination!"

"I am also talking about my wife you fucken bitch!" Michael yelled punching Lucy across the face.

"Your wife is in good hands. The admiral took her in to his home. She is in good care there. Other than you being there, she is far better off."

"I saw what you did my wife on that stage! I don't care if it was your job or to please the pathetic crowd. Enjoy what's coming next commodore!" Michael said turning away.

"No! I am begging you! Please don't!"

"There isn't a damn you could say that would change my mind."

"You want to scar your daughter?"

"Don't ever speak about her!" Michael turned around fire burning in his eyes. He grabbed Lucy and repeatedly slammed her head on the floor. Michael stopped to take a few breathes.

"You think she will be obvious to what they will do to me? You think what they do to Alex will go unnoticed by her?"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Michael screamed in her face. He saw her shaking with tears coming down her face.

"At least let him go…" she whimpered.

"Who?"

"Alex… he doesn't deserve what they will do to him. The dogs will feed him to the sharks or skin him alive. Even if he makes it back to capital… how long do think he will last? He will rot in prison or be hung. Does he deserve that for what he has done?"

"You think they will ever find out?" Michael smirked. "I will just tell them about you! They will never know he is involved with you. He was probably planning on betraying you anyway."

"You have nothing better do you piece of shit?" Michael heard behind him. He was lifted in the air and thrown away from the building. He held his head with pain. He was grabbed by his scruff and dragged back towards the group. "I don't like you hurting her!" Alex spat as let go of Michael.

Michael waited till everyone was asleep. He looked at his daughter sleeping peacefully. He took a deep breath and headed to the slave building. He entered the room Lucy was in. He moved quietly placing his hand over her mouth. He felt her struggle as she woke. He squeezed her forcing to her stop moving. He moved his head so she could see his face. He was thankful the moon shined bright enough so they could see each other. "What do you want?"

"I wanted to speak with you…" Michael took a few steps back taking in the full view of her body. She curled up hiding her breasts and her area.

"What do you really want?"

"I want to speak with you, I am rather curious."

"About my body?" she asked shyly.

"You do have a beautiful body."

"Thanks" she said rolling her eyes.

"I wanted to talk. You and that dog seem pretty protective of each other. Are you two…"

"Oh please! Are you fucken stupid? I hate dogs, trust me. I try to see him as friend, but that dog face makes me sick!"

"Why do you hate them so much? Does the entire navy hate them?"

"No of course not! One of my closer friends and fellow officer has a female dog to keep him company."

"Really?"

"She is kind of like a friend to him… if he stopped being around that fucken mutt he might actually find a girl that likes him."

"So I am not the only one?"

"He doesn't love her; she is someone to talk to. She cooks, cleans, and other things for him."

"Other things?"

"Walking in on a female dog with her mouth… never mind! I am trying to erase it from my memory."

"So maybe they do like each other."

"If she refuses to do as she asks or he if he grows bored of her, he can just beat her and/or replace her."

"God"

"Welcome to most cats… well some don't like to talk to their dogs."

"So why do you hate them so much?"

"That's rather personal."

"Well, you're at my mercy" Michael said grabbing the chain connected to her bound wrists."You don't like it when I can see you breasts? Do you?"

"I'll tell you! Just please stop. Being naked bound in chains is bad enough." Lucy whimpered. Michael let go.

"I am listening."

"Don't make fun… nevermind."

"Don't make fun of you?"

"I would rather you not… but I will take making fun of me over anything else!" she said sliding away from him.

"You really don't trust me?" Michael said sitting down next to her wrapping an arm around her.

"For cat you feel pretty cold."

"It's fucken freezing in here what do you expect?"

"Your reason for hating dogs."

"When I was younger, I had this boy who was my friend."

"A boyfriend?" Michael teased.

"I thought you wanted to hear my story?"

"Sorry, go on."

"We used to do everything together. We were the best of friends." Michael noticed how she started to smile.

"Wow… she really cute… and her nice figure…"

"I guess you could say we grew really close. Our gender difference met very little to us. But I still grew to like him a lot."

"He didn't feel the same why I take it?"

"But I never asked him" Lucy said ignoring Michael. "We didn't spend every day together, but we spend most together. As we grew older, my like grew… I never did ask him how he felt…"

"So… why"

"I am getting there! He was secretly seeing someone."

"Oh"

"I guess I wasn't always the nicest to him, but I never hit him!"

"Well…"

"I found out he was seeing a girl… so out of jealousy, I told him I loved him."

"I take it he didn't accept you."

"Now to answer your question, it was a filthy fucken bitch! I lost to fucken mutt! He fell in love with a fucken dog!" her voice grew nasty and full of anger.

"Oh boy…"

"I…" she started shaking her anger seemed to just vanish. "I still love him…" Michael held Lucy. He felt he didn't without thought. He heard her mutter something

"I am sorry what was that?"

"Huh?"

"I thought heard you say something."

"Oh, just his name…"

"What was his name?"

"His name is Michael, you happen to know him?"

"I can't say I do." Michael said getting up. "Nice talking to you!" Michael said breaking into a run. As he ran the memories' where coming back. He fell to the ground.

"I love you Michael" Lucy said her cheeks pink on arm reaching out the other under her breasts wrapping around her torso.

"Umm… Lucy I love someone else."

"Oh… I guess I should have expected this…" Lucy said pulling her arm back in. She started shaking at the knees.

"Maybe this is a bad time Sara…" Lucy saw Michael shout over his shoulder.

"No… I would like to meet her."

"You sure?"

"If you don't love me… I guess I can deal with it… but, Michael… don't stop being my friend! Please!"

"Of course I won't! We will be friends forever." He said reaching to hug her.

"Say those for the girl who won." Lucy said stepping back. Michael stuttered at hearing those words.

"Hi I am Sara" Sara nervously walked up to Lucy.

"Michael! There is a dog here!" Lucy yelled completely shocked.

"Lucy, quiet done! This is her." Michael explained.

"I…" Lucy could speak tears streamed down her face. "You…" Lucy ran away. She ran home tears splashing the ground as she ran. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LOVE A DOG OVER ME!" She screamed over her shoulder. She tripped falling to the ground. She scraped her knee and elbow, but she didn't care she curled up crying. She cried more when the first person to help her was her father. She had been here for hours only to be helped by her father on his way home from work. She muttered something.

"What is it dear?" her father said as she carried his daughter home.

"I am going to kill that dog!"
