Chains

Chapter four

The smell filled the car, causing my nostrils to burn. I couldn't help but wonder where the smell came from. Alfred had seated himself on the drivers seat, he seemed chuffed* with himself. He knew I could smell it even with my human nose, it was so distinctive anyone could. " That smell, it's the smell of masters last slave" , as he spoke he turned his nose up at me.

It felt like the blood had ran from my face, it was cold to the touch. I wouldn't make eye contact with that boy, it's like his eyes calm me. They have a power over me. The blonde boy, or my newly founded master sat beside me. His eyes burnt into my skin. I kept my eyes forward. At the corner of my eye I saw him move towards me, then place his hand on my shoulder. My body jumped at his chilling touch, he saw this then moved his hand." My names Drake, you may call me master or master drake. Which ever you prefer, ok lucy?" He knows my name, I looked at his lips as he spoke my name. "You...you know my name?" i flinched as he patted me on the head like a child.

"of course" he gave a care free smile, which lightened my mood.

Maybe he wasn't so bad after all?.

" it was outside,your cell" Alfred spoke with a hiss at the end, he was trying to get to me of course. I could see the anger break out in drakes face, it was opposite to the face in the van. Right now he looked so strong and intimidating. Before he looked so weak and powerless, like different people completely. "Alfred if you don't shut up maybe I will have to find a new butler as well!", panic filled Alfreds eyes. He looked down and started the car.

As we drove Drake asked me many basic questions like "What's your favourite colour?" and " Favourite thing to eat?". After he asked 20 questions, i thought this is the only time to ask him. I bucked up the courage go start with a simple question. " umm, master what's your favourite colour?" His eyes widened At this, his face filled with delight. " my favourite... Royal blue" he giggled cutely. You would never think this boy could harm a fly. I went again " master, what's your favourite number?" He thought for a while, " probably two". Again he looked charming, if things were different I could of come to like him. But things weren't different, I was his prey that was it. Sweet talk couldn't cover that. I knew this question would shock him, but I need to know.

" Then master, what's your favourite food?" i knew exactly what would happen. He just started at me, waiting for an apology. I raised my eyebrows letting him see that I want him to continue. He looked down towards his lap where his hands now lay. " Human blood" he didn't look at me. My blank face covered the disappointment. I wanted him to get angry, but he just made me feel guilty. " thank you master" i did a sarcastic tone.

We travelled most of the way in silent, the only noise came from the outside world or Alfred. We past fields, farms and towns. Though these towns weren't like are human towns, their roads were black rivers and houses were mountains. Every Child looked well feed, all the streets were filled with high tech cars and devices. I couldn't help but gaze in wonder at the different environments surrounding me. A clock chimed sounding the arrival of midnight. The streets were filled, even at this time. Oh vampires, just like drake they mustn't be fond of light. Even at night the streets were beautiful, much better then human towns. They all wore strange clothes, multiple wigs and exotic coloured make-up.

We made are way towards a hill, i didn't feel comfortable. I felt pressured to apologise, though he was the monster. He was the villain. We finally pulled up to a drive, it was bordered with black roses. Crunching under the car lead us to a large black metal gate. " Just through here is my home, I live with my brother, sister and parents. You call them masters or mistress. My brother and sister also have...helpers" His voice was sympathetic, though I cringed at the word helpers. It felt like he tried to sugar coat all the bad things instead of lay them on me. I wasn't looking forward to this, I could already smell that metallic aroma in the air as we drove through.

Writers notes* Just thought I say that chuffed means that your happy with yourself, I'm not sure who uses it or if we just do in england. I also Havant checked this chapter and gone over it as I'm busy lately. Though I will try to check and carry on uploading soon:).
