She stayed. She didn’t know why she did, it was such pain and humiliation most of the time. Still she stayed. She thought her future was figured out and then she took an internship with a professor who had a very serious reputation. She was smart and she never expected she’d end up like this, waking up on the carpet by his bed on good nights, and shivering on cold hardwood floor when he wasn’t pleased with her. It all started quickly and the details were blurry in her mind. She wanted to please him and he took advantage of that, turning her into his pet and his toy and his maid, faster than what she might be willing to admit.
Last night he made her perform a little show for some guests, a few of her former teachers who were curious why she couldn’t keep up with school anymore. He made her continue with her classes but she almost never could study nor even attend sometimes, whenever she complaint about it he’d chain her and make her sleep on the floor, just a bowl with water nearby.
