It was dark, empty and cold. blindfolded, tied to a chair and hurt in her head, bleeding lightly down to her forehead, Kiyana had to first understand the situation she was in. her head was hurting and all she thought about was how she ended up there to begin with. alone in this room, location unknown.

"Hello? is anybody there?? please help me...!" Kiyana shouted, but from what she heard... the echo in the room, she was sure to be in an empty room where she was sure that no one would hear her no matter how loud she shouted or screamed...

she soon heard a door being opened, she smiled in pure light and hope that someone did hear her even though she was sure to be isolated. she started laughing "h-hey..! thank you so much for listening to me and coming here to save me...! I couldn't-" she was soon cut off by the door closing again, now the fear started crawling up to her head. she wasn't laughing or smiling anymore.

"hello there, I hope the way here wasn't too rough." someone said... that someone was a, she... she was a woman. was Kiyana being saved or the story had just began...?

"hello..? a-are you here to save me...?" Kiyana asked, mumbling her words. the voice she heard was a woman's voice, yes, but it was deep... it wasn't very.. feminine, you could say. aslo somewhat British? was she moved to the UK from the USA?? she stared panicking but she did her best not to show it.

the woman soon replied "I'm afraid that's not going to be the case, toy." she snapped her fingers and Kiyana started hearing footsteps. two? three? four people were coming towards her?? Kiyana's fear grew bigger and bigger, she started exaggerating. also, 'toy'? what is going on here?? she had so many questions until she felt her blindfold being taken off. her mind went blank as she blinked a couple of times, trying to look and see... something.

she looked in front of her and saw a woman. a tall, cold and even somewhat... good-looking yet threatening woman with a white suit in front of her, a tuxedo... golden buttons. obviously rich... but one of the buttons on her sleeve was missing. quite confusing but she wasn't going to ask any questions, it wasn't her business and she knew when to keep her mouth shut.

"hello, welcome to my house Kiyana. I'm Ortal, your owner." the woman, well, Ortal, said. she has a name now... at least she's not fully a stranger now. a woman with such clothes and guards calls this place a home...? how unlikely. she called herself my owner, does that mean I belong to her now? like an object...? what is this??

Ortal smiled "you seem to be confused... trust me, after I'll finish explaining everything needed to be explained, you'll have no questions." she said and pat Kiyana's shoulder

this... is only starting, isn't it...?

Kiyana looked at Ortal in fear and confusion "can I ask-" Ortal was quick to cut her off "here's your first mistake, you don't speak." she said coldly and held her hands behind her back as she looked down at Kiyana

Kiyana raised an eyebrow at that comment 'so I can't even speak now?' she thought to herself as she listened to Ortal

"alright, Kiyana. there are many things needed to be cleared out but I'll only tell you some, Ihave work to be done and the maids will tell you the rest you need to know. Alright?"

Kiyana nodded and stayed quiet, listening to Ortal

"Good... I don't want to have you beaten on the first day, too early for that..." she examined Kiyana, walking around her. She caressed her hair as she walked around, soon standing in front of her. She looked into Kiyana's eyes "you have beautiful eyes... you're lucky they're as beautiful as they are. Now, let me explain what's going on to make sure you're fully aware of what's the situation you're in. I'm Panther, but you'll call me Heir. Now, you're probably confused, I cam see that on your face..." she smirked "I'll explain. I'm the head of the Mafia called 'the Panthers'. This Mafia is a part of an organization called 'the wilderness'. I took my father's place and now I'm the head of this Mafia and you'll call me Heir and Heir only. Nothing else. You'll be obedient or you'll be punished, I have a reputation I won't let a lowlife take away from me. You'll do as you're told without a question and if you don't know what you need to do you go to ask one of the guards what is needed to be done, you never come to me, if I need something you'll know but if you dare to turn to me without permission I'll cut your tongue."

"You don't have rights. I own you and I decide what you can't and can't do, what you can say or can't say, how you dress and even how you'll walk. You're nothing other than mine, a toy. An object. I hope you'll remember that if you don't want to get in trouble."

Panther walked out the room after her explanation and Kiyana was released of her restraints soon after, maids taking her away to get her ready for whatever the rest of her life would be. They helped her bathe, change and heal any wounds. She remembered something the Heir had said. ‘I don’t like imperfections on my toys’. When it was all over... she needed to find the Heir. ‘This place is huge.. how am i supposed to find just one woman?’ She thought to herself as she scanned the halls for anyone who would help find her.

Kiyana looked around for her as she did her tasks, hoping to find her. Even though hope was the last thing she needed in this kind of place it somehow worked to her advantage since she soon could see the Heir in the distance walking over to another room with two of her guards as she spoke with them... they were walking towards Kiyana, guess it was the way to go...

She slowly followed behind the guards and the Heir herself, fiddling with her fingers nervously. They soon got into a room, it was nice decorated. An office. Panther sits down at her desk as looks at Kiyana coldly “Listen now and Listen good. You will be the main maid in the garden. You will also being doing laundry and dishes. Go to a maid and they will tell you your schedule for today.” She picks up her papers, reading through them “Out of my face. Now. You'll only come back here at 20:00PM an hour before its sleep time to tell me what tasks you did."

Kiyana bowed lightly “Yes.. Heir” She replied and walked out to search for a maid

Throughout the day Kiyana experienced different things. The Heir yelling at a maid for messing up and even cutting one for breaking a vase. She was quiet the whole day unless the Heir spoke to her, just as she was told. She was always very obedient with everyone so this shouldn’t be any different,, right? After the day finally past, she was exhausted. Nonetheless, she remembers the Heirs orders from the beginning, going to her office a bit early. 19:59 pm. She waited a minute before knocking at her office door.

“Enter.” The Panther replied, setting her papers aside and watched at Kiyana stepped into the room, closing the door behind her “So..? What have you done today?”

Kiyana looked at her “I replaced all the dead flowers in the garden with freshly bloomed ones, washed, dried and put away the clean dishes and folded laundry, Heir.” She replied, no matter how tired she may be. She has to remain respectful.

"good. now go to get ready to bed, at 21:00PM maids go to sleep, and so are you. so get cleaned and go to bed." Panther replied and kept working. Kiyana nodded and went to the maids bedroom. she soon showered and went to sleep...
