Dana's dog day's

Dana's breathing was heavy as she brought the phone up to her ear. Silence on the other end gave her a momentary flutter of hope that maybe they call had disconnected but her hopes were dashed when the voice spoke up again.

"Dana Dana Dana what to do with you."

"Please let me go." She said with fear in her voice. "I promise I won't say anything about you. Take them all just let me go please" She continued desperately.

The other girls were aghast at Dana. Was she really offering them up to save her own skin.

"You'd abandon your friends? That's low Dana." The voice chided. "I must say that puts me off my dinner even more than your fat stomach." The voice said disgusted

Dana blanched, she knew she had fucked up. The pit in her stomach widened and she awaited

"I thought I might take you as a fixer upper, after all you're nothing a little surgery can't fix, but now Dana I think you deserve something else."

"Please no I'm sorry just ple..." her frantic cries were abruptly cut off by the voices command. She got up from the couch and walked to the center of the room

"Dana, hear my words and internalize them to your core. You are no longer human."

"Not... human?" What was she then? The words buried themselves in her subconscious instantly. Confusion took root in her mind.

"Forget how to stand."

"Forget... stand." She felt wobbly as the knowledge fled her mind and muscles. Eventually they gave way and the short asian fell to the floor.

"Forget your personality and name. Dana no longer exists.

"Forget... name... personality... Dana no longer." It was hard for her to think, memories erased themselves from her mind.

"You are a dog. Dogs walk on all fours."

"A... dog." Is that what she was? She didn't know how to stand and dogs walk on all fours so she must be a dog now.

"Forget how to speak. Dogs only bark and whine."

"Forgeth... bark!" She knew the words, but the only sounds she could make was bark. She was a dog now and dogs only bark and whine.

"Your new name is Deedee."

"Bark."

"You will only ever act like a dog and will obey your master and whoever holds your leash."

"Bark bark" that made sense, deedee was a dog and she knew dogs obey their owners. She remembered though, she remembered that she wasn't always a dog. Deedee knew that she was a dog now because she was bad.

The other girls were numb to this horrible ordeal now but watching Dana bark and whine did disturb them. They knew a similar fate awaited them. Just then CL4173 let out a jarring but mechanical "Compliance." And walked out the door. A few minutes later she walked back into the apartment with a leash and collar and attached them to Deedee. CL4173 then took the phone from Deedees paw and handed it to Megan. Megan looked pleadingly into her big sisters eyes but saw no recognition in them.

"Claire...please help us." She whimpered.

"Unit CL4173 does not recognize this users authentication phrase. Operational access denied." It flatly stated and walked back to the corner holding Deedees leash.

Megan placed the phone to her ear.
