The only words I could discern were ‘shock’ and ‘sleep’, and actually, sleep sounded like exactly what I needed. Or maybe I was really hoping ... was asleep, and this was simply a nightmare from which I would wake up. I turned to get comfortable, and a few minutes later, consciousness blessedly slipped away.I stirred from sleep some indeterminate time later and saw a shadowy figure in the door.“Mike?”I blinked a few times and recognized Milena’s mom.“Hi, Doctor Blahnik.”“How are you feeling?. The note read,’ Your family would not sell so we killed them and if you will not sell then we will kill you to. You have until tomorrow morning at 10 to decided because we will be back then to do what we have to get you land,’ Signed by Thomas Boring. It was not long after finding the note that the sheriff and our hand got to the ranch. Sheriff Jones had grown up with my parents and was upset and when he saw that note but was powerless to do anything about it. The sheriff told us that we had. “Yeah, It’s alright. I’ll be in good hands with my Angel. You go back to sleep, Tiger. I love you,” CC said as she leaned down to kiss me sweetly before getting off the bed and following a giggling Amber into our bathroom.I drifted off as I heard the shower start, and the noise was oddly soothing as it helped lull me back to sleep.I woke up feeling a desperate need to piss. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was still way too goddamn early; it was only 4:20. I sighed, and then I slowly. “That’s it!” I grab her by the back of the neck and drag her into the basement. I untie her long enough to get her bent over and into the stocks. “You have been a bad kitty!” I begin to crop her ass, each crack echoes around the basement. I then start to whip her back the red marks crisscrossing her back. She rubs her face and tape on the wood getting it loose then spits the gag back out. “MRRROWWWW!!” I grab the gag and stuff it back in her mouth. I then grab the tape and wrap it several times.
