Chapter Seven

Owen had no idea how he’d gotten in the lush room with its antique furniture, cobblestone walls and wooden slat floors. And a bathroom with a spacious shower, and what looked like an in-ground hot tub. The sinks were marble and matched the bathroom floors.

He went back to the bed with its cloud-like pillows and clean laundered blankets. The tray of food he’d seen when he first woke up, was cold, but he didn’t care. He ate the soup, the sandwich, and even the fruit. There was juice, a kettle of tea, and water for beverages.

Owen had a little of each then went and checked out the kitchen. Table, stove, fridge—empty. Plates in the cupboards and silverware in the drawers. A dresser on the opposite wall was filled with different kinds of clothes. Most were simple cotton, a few others seemed to be made from some type of gauze material that shimmered.

He started to look for a pair of pants but Cerberus hadn’t said he could get dressed. He went ahead and dug some out but left them lying on the short bench at the end of the bed.

And where was Cerberus?

Unlike before when Cerberus had gotten out of Owen’s sight there was no panic, no urgency, just a dull buzz, deep in his chest. Somehow he knew his god was not far away, he had not abandoned him.

But what was outside the door?

Owen walked over to the windows making up half of the outside wall. Rippled glass, edged in blue, turned the mountains into a watery landscape. There seemed to be some type of wall below, but it was hard to be sure. The wide green space had to be a field, and the dark line, trees. Did the door lead outside?

Owen didn’t think so.

There was a dead bolt and a latch for the knob, but other than that the door was oddly plain, tall, rounded at the top and constructed of the same kind of wood that made up the floor of the apartment. Owen tried the handle. It turned. For such a thick door it was easy to open.

The hallway was empty. One end appeared to go upwards, the other branched off. The narrower hall sloped downward, the wider one connected to it was filled with sunlight.

Faint laughter drifted from somewhere Owen couldn’t see.

So there were other people here. And where was here?

Two naked men appeared at the end of the sunlight hall. Both wore cock cages, but only one had a collar. They held hands and chatted while they walked. Another boy joined them. He wore nothing but a glittery thin chain around his waist and matching trinkets on his wrists and ankles.

All three couldn’t be over twenty, one tall and well sculpted, the other two smaller. It was the middle one with dark skin who noticed Owen. He slammed the door shut.

What kind of place had Cerberus taken him to? But Owen knew. This was the mythical place where Doxies were kept, trained, and used.
