Chapter 7

A figure materialized from the shadows, the Mistress's form taking shape. The friends watched, breathless, as the Mistress approached the creature, her steps soft and silent. The Mistress ran a hand over the creature's shadowy form, her touch both tender and possessive. The creature made a low rumbling sound, almost like a purr.

The friends watched the scene in a mixture of horror and fascination. The creature seemed docile, almost submissive, in the presence of the Mistress. The Mistress continued to pet the creature, her hand moving slowly over its shadowy form.

The creature leaned into the Mistress's touch, its body relaxing. The friends couldn't believe what they were seeing. This terrifying creature, so menacing a moment before, now seemed almost like a pet being soothed by its master.

The Mistress continued to stoke the creature, her eyes glowing with satisfaction. "Such a good boy," she cooed, her voice soft and silky. The creature made a low, purring sound, its body completely relaxed now.

The friends looked at each other, dumbfounded by what they were witnessing. The Mistress seemed to have complete control over the creature, its fearsome form now almost playful under her touch.

The Mistress looked over at the friends, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "Are you enjoying the show?" she asked, her voice filled with sadistic amusement. The friends remained silent, too stunned to speak.

The Mistress chuckled at their speechless expressions, the sound like silk over razors. "Don't be so surprised," she said, her hand still running over the creature's shadowy body. "My creatures all learn to submit to my will eventually."

The creature let out another low whine as the Mistress's hand moved down to its head, her fingers scratching behind its ear-like appendages. The friends couldn't believe how easily the Mistress had the creature under her control.

The Mistress continued to stroke the creature, her eyes flickering towards the friends. "I must say," she said, her voice filled with mock thoughtfulness. "You humans are much more entertaining than I expected." The creature let out a soft rumbling sound, its body completely relaxed under the Mistress's touch.

"You haven't even seen the best part yet," the Mistress said, her eyes glinting with cruel satisfaction. The creature let out an eager sound, its body tensing in anticipation.

The friends watched, tense and fearful, as the Mistress continued to pet the creature. It was clear that it was completely under her control, its menacing form now almost affectionate towards its mistress.
