The women embark on an emotional rollercoaster as Dani seems to go from hot to cold in the blink of an eye. One minute Katie is in a cage, and the next she is in bed with Dani being cuddled.

Her Captive

I wanted to be furious, but at the same time I wanted her to hold me. 


Have her tell me it was for the best and then tell her it was OK. 


The weird part was that I kind of was. 


It was more like I felt like I shouldn't be but I didn't have a choice. 


Like I was completely fine with it all, but I was going with my gut that told me I should care more. 


'How am I supposed to react? It's like all I want is to stay attached to you, but something tells me this isn't right. That when this whole blood bond passes, that I'm going to be upset.' 


Dani: 'Watch your tone. What if I say you're staying in my bed anyways? I don't need you going around and getting hurt again.' 


'In a practically empty room? With an air mattress?' 


I picked up my plate and threw it away on my way upstairs. 


Out of nowhere she appeared in front of me as I was about to go up the stairs. 


Dani: 'What the hell do you think you're doing? Throwing away perfectly good food because you're in a mood?' 


'In a mood? Are you serious? You just told me you destroyed my life, but all I want to do is have you hold me right now! Excuse the fuck out of me for being human. Maybe you forgot what that's like.' 


I went to the study and looked at the bottles. 


Tequila would usually knock me out so I grabbed the bottle and turned to see her in the doorway. 


Startled, I dropped the bottle but before I could look down she's holding it in front of my face. 


Dani: 'My speed shouldn't be a surprise at this point.' 


I took the bottle and went to her bed with her behind me. 


Before I knew it the chain was around my ankle again. 


Dani: 'I will ask once, and only once. Please, don't pull away from me for what I did. There are so many things you don't understand.' 


'I just think, it would be better, if you gave me a little...' 


She was gone then appeared again reaching for the bottle. 


In attempts to push her hand away I accidentally struck her face. 


The next thing I knew I was flying off the bed and into the wall. 


Catching my breath she appeared again, grabbing me so quickly I didn't even have time to react. 


She had me by my hair and we were at the door that led downstairs. 


Only seconds later we were down stairs in front of a cage and I felt terrified. 


I stripped to my underwear and she examined me. 


'Are you serious? Dani I'm sorry if I...' 


Dani: 'Do I need to throw you in myself? Do you think pissing me off more is a good idea?' 


I crawled into the cage feeling broken. 


A bottle of water was thrown at me. I noticed the bottle of tequila and I was left alone. 


I tried to sleep so I could see her, but my anxiety and the chilly room wouldn't grant me the sleep I prayed for.
