I promise I'll take proper care of you." </span>She shook her head and squeezed Ana tight when she broke down.<span style="color: purple">"He beat you because he was a child, an angry child who couldn't appreciate all he had. And you were too dumb to leave him the first time he laid a hand on you. You both made mistakes but his mistakes got him slaughtered in an alley."</span>Vyre looked into Ana's eyes and nodded slowly.<span style="color: purple">"I will hurt you if you need to be hurt, but I will never beat or torture you. I will discipline you fairly, be it a backhand, a swat on the ass, or even a flick to the forehead. I will also soothe your pains, be it from me or another. Understand that what I do, I do for you and your happiness. I can see in your eyes you still have some spirit left, I won't let that break, I will rebuild you. I will help you. You are not an animal to be kicked around and hurt, you are a person and more importantly, you are my pet. You are my Ana."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
