Umbre knew that it was a mistake to disobey Adrian...but she had only wanted a few more minutes to enjoy herself. When she felt the first rough tug on the collar, she almost inhaled water, rushing quickly to the surface, gasping and coughing. And she didn't have much time to respond after that, feeling him jerking her closer until she was kneeling down at his feet, coughing again and trying to get a decent breath. When she finally looked up at him, her paw to her throat, the look on his face almost startled her. She had never seen a human angry...<br/><br/>With every word and the tone of his voice as he spoke, she nearly flinched each time, her tail tucking between her legs and her ears drooping low. Regret quickly settled in her mind as she remained kneeling, unable to look away from Adrian, even though she really wanted to. She knew that he was very serious about punishing her, and she didn't want that. And all of this over a few extra minutes to swim. She could only imagine what he would've done to her the night previous, when she had thought about trying to escape.<br/><br/>As he moved to grab one of the towels, Umbre watched him intently with widened eyes, watching as he drenched it in the water and then twisted it. She had absolutely no clue what he intended to do and she really wasn't anywhere near ready to find out. She actually cringed as he yelled, frozen to the spot and unable to move, though she very strongly desired to. Her heart was hammering as she remained in the same stance, staring up at him. But a sudden burst of bravery made her jump to her feet and turn to try and run away from him, her mind instinctively returning to the fight or flight response.
