Author's Note - Sorry everyone. I would have unloaded this chapter an hour earlier, but half way through I had the sudden urge to drop everything and paint my nails black. Don't ask why because I don't know. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my writing!

(Peta's point of view)

I woke up cold, sick, and pissed. That bitch chained me outside in a rainstorm! I jumped out of the bed I was in and stormed over to the bathroom. I am getting this degrading annoying collar off of me! I got a good look at it for the first time as I glared into the mirror. It looked like it required a code. I tried yanking it off but it was getting me nowhere. So I entered in a random number code to see what would happen. I screamed bloody murder and fell to the floor as the collar shocked me with enough force to be considered overkill.

I was sitting on the couch chewing on my thumbnail as I tried to think of a way to apologize and still remain in control. Suddenly an ear splitting scream came from upstairs. I was up and running without a second thought. Peta! I took the stairs three at a time and was in her room in a matter of seconds. "Peta!" I gave the room a once over and ran to the bathroom. I found Peta on the floor curled up into a ball shaking. She was griping the collar around her neck in a death grip. I ran to her and picked her up. I quickly entered in the code for her collar and it unlocked with a click. I picked her up and set her on the bed. I ran back to the bathroom and got a wash cloth and soaked it in some cold water. I ran back and set in on the burn marks on her neck. I looked at her and for the first time in my life. I felt bad. I curled up next to her and held her, "I'm sorry..........."
