It was 8:00. We had a meeting every morning to get our assignments. I worked for my parents, well technically I am forced to work for my family if I dont they will use me as bait.

Vampires and Witches have never gotten along, thats more so on our part due to the council saying we are the superior species.

My father is a part of the council and one day they decided that we wanted to know more about vampires, but of course they wouldn't cooperate which is why this place was made. We test the limits of vampires. What we do is not pretty.

We get new assignments every morning. Sometimes we stay with the same person sometimes we dont.

I sat down at the table.

"We have one new subject, Izzy youll be taking him," my father said and handed me the file.

I nodded. "Youll solely be working with him until his time here is over. Hes very high profile and can be very dangerous. Make sure he takes the pills or injections. Use the collar at last resort," he said.

I nodded.

He handed out everyones else's assignments and we were all dismissed.

Once I stood I opened the folder.

You have got to be kidding me.

"Father this is a death wish! You know they will find him and they will surely kill us all. Im not taking this case on," I said.

He grabbed my wrist tightly "You do not back talk to me here. You know not to call me father here use my name. Youre taking him or you will be set out to find more subjacts, understand? Its a risk we are goimg to have to take," he said.

"Yes," I sighed.

"Good. Now go do his intake," he said.

I sighed and grabbed intake papers from the drawers along with a reversal drug for the seditive.

He was laying down on the bed. He was restrained there.

I went over and grabbed his arm injecting the drug then I went back and sat down waiting for him to wake up.

Hs woke quicker than most individuals which I noted in the papers.

He sat up there was some fear there which was odd to me since he was a member of the royals.  

"Where am I?" He demanded he pulled at the restraints

"You wont get out of them. Its easier if you dont fight," I paused. "Youre in a research lab center that is owned by my family Robert and Ann,"

His eyes narrowed.

"Glaring at me isnt going to change anything," I sighed.

"My family will come for me. You know that and you will suffer."

I mean he isnt wrong. "Yes they will find you sooner or later. I told Robert that this was a stupid move but he thinks he can control everything," I said.

"Its a very stupid move," he said.

"Im going to ask you a few questions," he said.

"And I wont answer,"

"Youll find that is a very bad response," I sighed.

"And what are you going to do about it?"

I looked down at his ankle. There was a small device there. "There are three things that can do. With a click of a button I can do this," I paused pressing it sending a strong electric shock through his body,"  I paused. "Theres also a mini explosive in there if you try to leave it will go off and permanently remove your foot," I said them got out the same device out of a bag "or It can do this," I said and pressed a button on the device small knifes poked through the entire inner circle. "So do you want to answer the questions now that you know the consequences?"

He looked down. "Fine,"

"Who is your creator?" I asked.

"Amun," He replied.

"Is he nomatic?"

"No. He is with the egyption coven," he replied.

"What coven are you in?" I asked.

"I think you already know that," he said.

"Just have to hear it from you," I said

"Im a guard with the volturi," he sighs annoyed.

"When were you turned?"

"Around 1000AD," he sighs again

"How often do you feed?"

"Typically 3-4 times a week. More from my pet if needed," he sighs.

I let out a small chuckle

"What?"

"You call us bad but you kidnap humans and brand them for your entertainment choice," I said.

"Its not like that?" He said it sounded like a question.

"Really?" I said amused. "You all kidnapping humans, stripping them down to absolutely nothing having them wear practically lingerie. Then you brand them as if they are property and they sleep in cages. Have collars and leashes, some you even use for breeding. All we do is test on vampires and kill them. You are far worse than us,"

He looked down. "Not all of us treat humans like that," he said.

"How do you treat humans?" I asked.

"Yes I have a pet but I dont use her in any ways you are describing some will some dont. I personally dont. They sleep in the bed, I feed mine properly and make sure she has good medical care. Not all of us are like that," he said.

His answer surprised me.

"Why are you different?"

"I dont like hurting people unless I'm ordered to," he said.

I looked at him.

He looked down.

He was different. He still had some humanity left in him.

"Are we done?" He asked. 

"Just a few more questions," I watched him carefully.

"Im not a monster," he said quietly. "I just want to go home to my family. Let me go and I will tell them this was all a big misunderstanding," he said sadness there.

He wasnt like others at all. It took a minute for me to respond. "I cant let you leave. Its not my choice," I whispered.

"Please," he looked at me grabbing onto my hand looking into my eyes

"I... I cant Demetri. Im under my parents orders Ill be killed if I let you go," I whispered.

He dropped my hand and looked down. Was he crying?

I waited a bit. "What do you like to do?"

"I like to read," he whispered.

"Fears?"

"Losing my family," he said.

I nodded and closed the folder. "Ill let you get settled in," she paused. I then took out a cup and a pill from the bag. "Take this. Youll br givin this twice a day. Its to weaken your vampire strength,"

"And if I dont?"

"Theres an injection I would give you or Theres a lovely collar I can put on you that will take it away. Its your choice."

He  sighs and held out his hand and put the pill there. I then he took a sip of the blood I gave him.

"Ill let you settle down," I said and unrestrained him.

He nodded and looked down. "Okay," he whispered.
