Everything around me was silent yet I heard everything at the same time. The creak of objects as a silent breeze barely presses against them. The almost silent tap of tiny claws against wood. The swish of fur-on-fur as two mice pass each other. The clops of metal on the stone and pebble road. The ring of saddle bells along with the grind of blunt teeth on metal. I could hear it all until a minute later it all faded out and I heard nothing only for it to came back again a second later.

My eyes were closed and everything was dark but it felt like I could see through the darkness to the back of my eyelids. Of course I really couldn't, but it felt like it.

My nose was much like my hearing. Every now and then it picked up scents that shouldn't be detectable normally but it only faded out for a little before it came back again.

My touch was the same yet again. I could feel every fibre and weight of the clothes I wore against my skin. The wool blanket over the top of me. My own hair against my scalp and neck along with the material and softness of my pillow. I could feel every sharp, yet soft, prickle of the feathers underneath my body.

I realised I was in a bed.

Which is somewhere I've never been since I can remember, not that I can remember much in the first place. It was marvellous. I can't remember what the bed felt like all those years ago but I knew it never felt as good as the one my body was resting on right now.

I knew I was awake, it's how I was able to take attendance of everything around me and of my strangely heightened senses, yet it seems, I still couldn't fully wake up.

I couldn't move my body nor open my eyes, but truthfully, I didn't really want to. My body was relaxed and I've never felt so lifeless before, though I knew I was still alive. I can feel my heart beating inside my chest and that, in turn, moved my skin against the silk of the clothing covering me. It was such a strange feeling, but I wasn't scared of it. I wasn't afraid. This, I am sure, is the best day of my life.

I felt, smelt and heard the air shift around me, entrancing me with every slight movement I could hear and feel against my delicate senses. This heightening of my senses were making me feel more alive than I've ever felt in my life!

Rhythmic thumping's made itself known through my musings and made their way closer to me. They stopped for a second in front of what I presume was a door leading in and out of the room I was in, before that door was opened and they walked in.

My nose was hit by something I have never smelt before when they entered. It was rich and hearty, but it wasn't strong and the smell wasn't overpowering. Whoever just walked into the room I was lying in smelt like the earth and trees. And whoever it was smelt fresh and free. It was intoxicating. But it was also laced with something else. Something just as rich, something just as refreshing, it was sweet and had the tang of iron in it.

It smelt wonderful.

I felt my stomach clench almost painfully and everything around me became hyper sensitive. My mouth tingled and I could feel my teeth throb as my throat contracted. I tried to swallow the sudden build up of saliva but it didn't release the clenching of my stomach.

The being in the room moved towards me, placing the amazing smell right in front of me. I felt something cold, hard and smooth touch my bottom lip as the sweet, iron smell hit me right in the nose making my stomach clench almost painfully.

Liquid filled my mouth and I swear I was about to die from how amazing it tasted. The smell was killing my nose but now it was also mutilating my tongue beautifully. I hadn't known I moved until cool air touched my back and both my hands touched the cool, hard surface that still touched my lips.

I was swallowing the liquid like my life depended on it and I didn't know it was finished until whoever was in the room removed the cup from my hands making me frown. My stomach instantly craved more but the being in the room touched my shoulder firmly to push me back down onto the bed.

The hands were soft, smooth and cold. I could feel long smooth nails barely scratch against the material of whatever I was wearing letting me know they're most probably female. I didn't want to lie down, I wanted more of that drink, but my body wasn't responding to me anymore. So I lay there silently, still frowning, as the being covered me again with the blanket and soft skin brushed my hair from my forehead.

"Sleep my Pet, sleep first then you shall have some more once you wake." A soft woman's voice that sounded like water dripping sensually into a pool came from my left. I recognised the voice from last night, or was it longer than that? I don't know, but it made me relax.

"Mistress." I whispered eyes still closed, the frown leaving my face and my body relaxed further into the comfortable bed.

"Yes, my Pet, now sleep." She whispered and I felt her caress my cheek once more before my mind shut down on itself.

•

I woke up again and found that I could move my body this time. I could also open my eyes.

I found myself in a white walled room lying in the middle of a four-posted bed that could easily hold four of myself side by side on it, yet it was just myself lying there in the middle covered in white silk sheets and blankets. There wasn't much in the room beside from the bed, two bedside tables intricately carved and rounded sitting either side of the bed, a white stoned fireplace on the wall across from my bed that had the torso and bust of two faceless women on either side of it, and a set of heavy wooden doors shaped as an arch leading to somewhere I'll find out as soon as I could get my legs moving.

I sat up in the bed feeling tired and heavy but I wanted to know where I was. I've never been in such a place before and it's making me curious as to who brought me here. I soon found out because the door opened and two men in light guards armour walked in followed by who I couldn't help but think was the most beautiful woman in existence.

She was stunningly tall with long, wavy, black hair that stopped at her waist as she wore a red silken dress that flowed around her like liquid and gave her the look of a very high birthed noble woman. If I didn't know better I would have thought she was the queen herself by the way she moved.

If I couldn't hear the slightest tap of the bottom of her shoe touching the ground, I would have thought that she was gliding like a ghost over the ground towards me. I was entranced, trapped by her ethereal beauty and my throat constricted and dried as her eyes landed on me.

I was expecting something less than what I got, but I was definitely not unimpressed. Mistress was a goddess fallen to the earth from the havens. I truly believe this, why? Because no mortal human could ever possess eyes of liquid gold that shined so bright in the dim room. The only light coming from the fireplace since the only window along the wall to my left had both shutters and a curtain covering it to block out the outside.

She smiled at me and I swear if my heart wasn't already hers I'd lay at her feet and beg her to take it then. "I'm glad you're awake, Pet." She said stopping beside my bed as her guards stayed at the door.

"You're real." I couldn't help but whisper through my dry throat as I watched her.

"I am." She agreed with a nod. "Bring me the cup." She waved a delicate hand towards a young girl I hadn't noticed because I was too intently looking at Mistress. She had blonde hair and light blue eyes; she looked to be a couple years younger than myself; maybe, if I knew how old I was. She brought forward a goblet made of crystal and gold. I was once again hit by that sweet iron smell from my dreams.

My stomach contracted and my teeth started to throb, my gums tingling. "What is that?" I asked eyes on the goblet as it was passed from the girl to the woman.

"Drink it. It will take away your hunger for now." Mistress ordered as she held out the cup towards me.

I tried to swallow but my mouth was so dry that there wasn't anything to swallow. So I slowly reached out a hand to the goblet and the weight in my hand felt like nothing. I looked down into the cup as my stomach contracted tighter as I ran my tongue over my lips only to feel something that wasn't there before. Confused I lifted a hand to my mouth to find two of my teeth have elongated and sharpened. "What-" I began but Mistress cut me off.

"Drink." She ordered, I could do nothing but obey.

Ignoring my strange teeth I lifted the goblet to my mouth breathing in the rich smell of the thick, dark red liquid within it before tipping it back allowing the liquid to fill my mouth and ease the pain in my stomach. My stomach unclenched and I felt rejuvenated, stronger than before.

"Good." Mistress praised as she took the goblet from my hands once I finished the drink and handed it back to the girl who was watching me the whole time with curious blue eyes before she left.

"Please." I whispered looking down at my lap that was covered by the white sheet where my hands sat timidly touching each other like they were just meeting each other for the first time. "Can you please explain to me what is happening?" I asked looking up at Mistress through my eyelashes only to see that she hasn't taken her golden eyes off me.

She lifted a hand and traced a finger down the side of my face creating cold friction where her skin touched my own. Slowly she ran her fingers up and over my hair before I felt her twirl a thin black lock around one of her fingers.

"You are my pet now, I found you dying in a backwater alleyway and decided to give you a chance." She explained softly as she sat on the bed beside me her legs still hanging off the side and on the floor. "You gave me your life because you said you wanted to live, but not like how you were before. Even a dog had a better life than you did. So here we are. I have given you a new life and you are now my loyal dog that will do everything I tell you to."

"Yes Mistress." I agreed, seeing no reason to deny anything. I was nothing before, now I might be something, or maybe even someone. "I pledge my life to serve you. You own me like a lord owns his hunting hounds."

"Excellent." Mistress smiled brightly still twirling my hair in between her fingers. "You don't have a name yet, but once you prove to me you are useful and not have been a waste of my time, I will give you a name. In the mean time, I will refer to you as Pet. Do you understand me, Pet?"

"Yes Mistress." I nodded my head slowly.

"Good. Now come with me, I have more to explain to you but I won't do it here." Mistress ordered as she stood up and the blonde girl came back holding a light green dress that was made of some soft fabric that was just a tad plainer than what Mistress was wearing. I slipped out from between the sheets of the bed and tested my feet before standing. They held strong so I took a tentative step forward. I didn't fall, which I was glad about.

"Come, Pet." Mistress said as she walked towards the door. I followed silently as the blonde girl followed behind me and the silent guards followed behind her.

We walked down hallways that had art works hanging up on the walls, we walked passed marble statues and candles mounted to the walls between windows that were shuttered so that the dark hallways were lit enough to see.

It was a short walk and I was able to remember my way back to the room I woke up in. The guards hurried forward and opened a set of doors Mistress had stopped in front of. We walked in and I gasped at the large steaming room.

The walls were painted a creamy white while shuttered windows lined the back wall while to the left was a wall made of mirrors. In the middle of the room was a very large bath that looked more like a pond and was filled with steaming water.

"This is the bathroom where you and my other servants will clean yourselves everyday." Mistress explained as I looked around.

"It's very big." I murmured.

"I have many servants, Pet." Mistress replied smiling at me softly. "Now, undress so that I can have a look at you." She ordered as her gold eyes roamed me from my head to toes. I shivered even though she hasn't touched me.

I was wearing a plain white thin cotton nightshirt and matching three-quarter pants. I pulled the shirt over my head and pulled down my pants letting the girl take them away as she hung the dress from a hanger attached to the wall on the right side of the double doors.

"Come." Mistress motioned me towards the mirrored wall.

I padded forward and came to a stop beside the goddess that owns me. For a second I could only recognise Mistress until I saw myself move slightly and I froze in shock at the sight I was seeing. I was taller than before, only slightly taller than Mistress. My hair, that use to be a dirty birds nest of black grubby strands, was now smooth and ran straight down my back like liquid night.

My skin was smooth and soft, glowing with health that I've never had in my life. My breasts were round and rode high on my chest before sloping down to look like rain drops with pink nipples that pearled up from being exposed to the cold air capping the top of them.

No hair covered my legs or underarms; and only a short cover of black hair hid the apex of my thighs. Soft black hair covered my arms and my eyebrows were slim and dark.

When my eyes met my own I didn't know what to do. I knew my eyes should have been a dull, bland green but now they were vivid, shining, dark violet gems. I couldn't help but lean closer to the mirror to get a better look at them. They were beautiful and I couldn't believe they're mine.

"What has happened?" I asked unable to take my gaze from myself as I spoke to Mistress.
