The boss was excited, unusually so. "Let's go bitch, I've been brought new toys,".

I bowed my head and followed him out the door. I kept my head down as he maneuvered through the cold, stone halls.

We stopped outside a thick metal door, two armed guards stood on both sides of the door. "Now remember pet, eyes down, stay silent and I might feed you," he said sternly.

I nodded my head and he grabbed my face in his hand, squishing my cheeks violently.

"Do you understand pet?"

I flinched at his tone, "Y-Yes si-r," I heard my voice rasp and stutter.

He let me go, "Good," his previous tone replaced with a nice one he used towards his superiors.

He straightened up and wiped away nonexistent dust from his shoulder before opening the door.

I followed suit, keeping my eyes on my bare feet. I refrained from glancing up to see who the new prisoners were. Instead, watching them from the edges of my vision.

There were more of them than I thought there would be. There were seven to be more precise. I didn't recognize any of them. But it seemed none off them knew who to stare at, me or the boss.

"I see you've noticed the bitch," Boss stated snapping his fingers.

I quickly fell to my knees, my body starting to shake slightly.

Boss smirked before putting a hand on my head. "Obedient pet isn't she?" Boss asked no one in particular, starting to pet my pixie cut hair. They had shaved my head when I got here.

"What the fuck man?" the brunette man with a beard asked.

My gaze snapped up to the man in shock. Was he insane?!

Boss saw me look at them and backhanded me, it echoed in the bare room.

I fell to the floor, not even caring to catch myself.

"What the hell did I tell you in the hall?"

I picked my naked body off the floor and went back to resting on my knees on the floor, my gaze set on the floor.

"I guess you'll have to work for your food another way," Boss said with mock disappointment before sighing in the same manner.

The two large blondes and a lithe black haired man looked like they were almost shaking with anger.

I stayed silent and tried to tune out of their conversation.

'How long have you been here?' I heard the voice echo through my thoughts.

I blinked in confusion, 'I have the ability to communicate through thoughts. How long have you been here?'

I didn't want to speak, so I thought back 'I'm... unsure... Who are you,' I watched at the group from the corner of my eye.

The black-haired man was watching me intently, he had a bulky metal collar on his neck. 'I am Loki, and you are?'

I was upset at how long it took to remember my name... 'I'm... Samantha, but everyone used to call me Sam,'.

Boss turned around and started to walk out of the door with a smirk.

I quickly got up and followed him. 'I suppose we can finish this conversation later,' Loki told me before the door closed.

I tensed as we drew closer to the trainee's training room. I tensed up further as Boss opened the door.

The recruits were in multiple rings, fighting one another in a one-on-one fighting session. They knew better than to stop because a superior walked into the room.

Boss whistled loudly and all sessions stopped.

All of the recruits jumped out of the rings and ran to form a line, their arms behind their backs.

Boss looked pleased by their quick, eager to please reactions, "Now then boys,".

Boss started, he snapped his fingers and I fell to my knees.

"This bitch here disobeyed me. So, I'm going to a meeting and pet here is going help train you,".

I kept my eyes on the floor, I didn't want to make this any worse than it was already going to be.

"We would be delighted to have her sir," one of the bolder recruits said, taking a small step forward.

"Good. I'll leave you boys to it then," Boss stated sounding cheery before he walked out.
