Roy rang the small silver bell.
Dina strolled into the den, shoulders hunched, with a cigarette dangling from her lips.
"Yeah, want do you want?" said Dina angrily.
"What do you want 'Master?' I am your master, and I would prefer it if you would address me as such, " said Roy.
"Sure, you're the boss, MASTER. Whatever floats your boat, MASTER. Your wish in my command, MASTER, " said Dina sarcastically.
Roy sighed. This was not working out like he hoped. The old man had tricked him. The ray gun did turn people into cat girl maids, and they were compelled to serve him, but it did not change their personality. Dina had been an angry, surly girl before her transformation, and nothing about her attitude had changed after she became a hybrid cat. She was not exactly thrilled when she found herself wearing a maid's outfit and sprouting a cat tail and ears. Worse, she did not like the feelings she had for Roy, the driving need and compulsion to serve him. But after she changed, she went home with him. What else could she do?
At home in his mansion Roy quickly found that even though Dina's loyalty required her to obey his commands, it did not require her to like him. And so she completed the tasks he requested grumpily and with obvious disdain for him.
"I really wish that you wouldn't smoke, either, " said Roy. "It is not good for you."
Dina sighed, and threw the cigarette on the floor, stamping out the flame with her cat maid boot. She wasn't through with the cigarette, but, as always, she was compelled to follow Roy's requests. "What difference does it make? You gave me eternal youth and health when you zapped me. It's not like I can get cancer or anything, " said Dina with irritation.
Roy sighed. He was beginning to think this was a mistake. He fingered the ray gun on the table beside him.
Maybe I need a new maid, one with a better attitude, thought Roy. But this time I will find out a little more about the girl before I zap her. I am sure there is someone out there who likes cat girls as much as I do. Maybe I'll try that store that sells anime stuff at the mall.
"Dina, I am going out. I want the house clean, and dinner ready when I return home, " said Roy.
Dina groaned. "That will take all day!" she said. But she felt the compulsion to obey overwhelming her. "Whatever, " she said, as she began to dust around the den.
She was still cleaning the study when she saw Roy walking to his luxury car out the window of his mansion. She looked to the table by his favorite chair, and saw that he had left the cursed ray gun behind.
Asshole, she thought. Let's see how he likes it.
Dina grabbed the gun, and pointed it out the window at Roy. But as hard as she tried, she just could not pull the trigger. Her loyalty to him prevented it. Roy drove away, as Dina stared out the window and yelled profanities at him.
A ding from the gun caught her attention. She looked down, and saw that the Master identified by the ray gun had switched from Roy to Dina.
So, whoever holds the gun becomes the Master. And whoever they shoot, will be their loyal servants, thought Dina. Well, I may be stuck as his slave, but that doesn't mean I can't make some of my own slaves. Slaves that might help me get rid of that idiot.
She put the gun in her apron, and resumed her cleaning. She wanted to finish quickly, so she could finish Roy's request, and begin building her army.
