“Did you understand what just happened there, Twelve?” he asked me in a low tone as the other guards fell into step behind us. “All of your dreams came true?” I taunted. “Your life just became mine. I own you now. From your perky tits to the soles of your feet, every inch of your flesh and drop of your blood has my name stamped over it. I decide where you work and who you spend time with. I get to be in charge of your privileges and your punishments. You belong to me now, and I don’t take good care of my pets.”
