Ashby's friend drags you into the living room where Ashby is sitting on the couch sobbing. She looks downright miserable. You can't believe that she is so torn up. Yes, you and she were best friends... but Ashby has always been a strong girl. She always refuses to cry. You remember her once telling you that she refused to cry around men because she didn't want her potential meals thinking she was weak. Yet here this strong girl was, sitting on a couch bawling her eyes out because of you.

This really was not like Ashby at all. If a man upset her, she sent him to her stomach instead of crying...

"Ash look what the cat dragged in." Ashby's friend calls. "If you try running from her, or you hurt her again I'm shoving you straight up my ass." Her friend threatens you under your breath.

Ashby looks up and sees you, and instantly her eyes light up with relief. Ashby's friend throws you to her, and Ashby instantly wraps you in a tight embrace.

"Oh thank god. Thank god thank god thank god..." Ashby murmurs as she squeezes you tightly.

"Umm...hi." Now that you're here, you don't really know what to say. You can see that Ashby definitely is relieved to see you, but you're not out of the woods yet. She could just be relieved to see you because that means she'll still be the one that gets to eat you.

"Hi." Ashby smiles at you through snivels. "I was so scared you were going to go to your sister and get eaten... I'm glad you came back to me."

"Kait wasn't going to eat me." You assure. "But... well I really like you Ashby. I couldn't pass up the chance to be with you."

Ashby smiles at you and kisses your cheek. "Well I really like you too."

"I still think you should eat him." Ashby's friend who dragged you in earlier said. "A deal's a deal. He should be well on his way to becoming your shit by now."

"NO!" Ashby yelled as she pulled you even tighter against her. "Troy doesn't want to be eaten, so I'm going to protect him."

Warmth, gratitude, relief and love all course through your body as you take in Ashby's words. She really meant everything she said over the phone, it wasn't just some trick to eat you.

"Whatever. As long as you're happy." Ashby's friend replies. "I'll tell the girls the hunt is off and let you two have some alone time. Although Ash, I would suggest punishing Troy at least a little bit. He did run away from you, you need to make sure that never happens again."

"Hmm....That's true." Ashby muses. "Thanks for the advice."

"I would recommend shoving him up your ass, he'll never run again if you shove him up there."

This damn girl seems to have an obsession with you going up someone's ass... you really don't like her anymore.

"I'm not anal voring Troy! I'm protecting him!"

"You don't have to keep him in there long enough to kill him."

Ashby's eyes light up. "Oooh, you're right!"

"Really?" You groan.

"Hey you shouldn't have run away." Ashby grins at you. "But don't worry, we'll have fun Troy."

Ashby's friend grins. "Good. Well I'll be off then. Troy, care to walk me out? I need to have a word with you alone."

"NO!" Ashby yells and clings to you even more desperately. "I'm not going to let you be alone with him. You think I should eat him... You might eat him yourself!"

"Fine..." Ashby's friend sighs. "Then I'll just say it now. Troy, if you hurt Ashby like this ever again we will hunt you down to the ends of the earth and make you curse your parents for ever creating you. You have always belonged to Ashby, and you always will. You will always do whatever the fuck she wants, and if she decides one day she wants to eat you, then you will grin and thank her for letting you be her snack. Got that?"

"Got it..." You nervously reply. You don't ever plan on hurting Ashby again, but the threat is still scary...

"Awww, thanks for looking out for me." Ashby grins.

"We all love you girl, you know that." Ashby's friend replies. "Alright, have fun with your new boy toy."

"Oh I will!" Ashby replies with an excited smile. As soon as her friend leaves she turns to you and notices that you look terrified.

"Hey don't worry about her threat. I'll always protect you, and I know you won't hurt me again. And don't worry about me eating you, the only way you will ever end up in my belly is if you ask me to send you there. Ok?"

"Ok..."

"Good!" Ashby beams. "Now let's get your punishment started shall we? I need to make sure you never so much think about running away from me ever again!"

"No need for the punishment, I won't!" You nervously reply.

"Oh there's lots of need. I could've easily lost you today." Ashby frowns. "But after your punishment you'll know to never try that again!"
