The ground was softer than when they moved inside. Her body began to ache from the long crawl it had taken. The pleasure had worn off by now and she was somewhat aware of what was happening. Karie wasn't sure why she kept crawling, only that the desire to do so was indeed there. Her face flushed beet red when she felt the eyes of the guards upon her. Their red eyes sent a shiver down her spine which simply had her shake her hips when the chill entered her body, no doubt much to their delight. There were various people dressed as house servants and the expression on their faces disturbed her. It wasn't that they scared her, more the fact their expressions looked the same and never changed. It was eerie, unnatural. She really didn't like how they seemed to want to be in her place or have her attention. Karie began avoiding their eyes after the first few exchanges were made.<br/><br/>Her eyes fell forward, onto Galos' heels and she felt embarrassed when he stopped to speak to someone dressed much like him. She shifted into a crouched sitting position, more on her shins to give the fronts of her knees a rest, bending her wrists to flex them. He seemed determined to humiliate her and was doing a good job of it. No one said a word, though she felt every single time eyes were laid upon her, examining, appraising, gauging. She hated this, crawling like a damn animal on a leash. Her pride felt wounded though she was completely out of her element here. She had no power save one. He wanted to use her to benefit him. If it came to it, she would threaten her own life if he pushed her too far. But what was too far?<br/><br/>At last, they reached a large doorway. Her body screamed at her to stop moving on all fours. Even her back ached now as her breasts dangled towards the ground beneath her. She looked around and realized it was a bedroom and shuddered. To be trapped inside a room with him again... it was better than having to be paraded around while in such pain. Her knees felt bruised as they looked bright red. Her hands had turned numb, cold and stiff. She was glad for the release of the leash. He'd fed it blood and the vine seemed to reanimate much to her horror. Now, it lay still and a direct reminder of her new situation.<i><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"Come and sit."</span></i>Her head lifted and her eyes narrowed. Karie nearly rose onto her feet, feeling her thighs shifting first and one foot touching the floor. He watched that knee lower back down and her lean over to crawl the distance per his order, until she occupied the space he had just indicated. She said nothing, though he had seen it in her gaze. He knew she wanted to. Badly.
