The Wanted Pet

It was hard to sleep all night, every time I closed my eyes I just felt his hand there. I was almost paranoid he was touching me when he thought I was sleeping, but half the night he was reading some book and chuckling, then he went out but I keep pretending, I guess my wall has broken, I just jump when I feel a force to my head "What did I tell you" he mumbles.

"I didn't want to disturb you" I lie

"Yeah right, I'm not going to comfort you unless you ask for it, I'm not an emotional person that can tell if a person needs support however as a vampire I know the heart rate of a sleeping human and yours was pounding all night, I can soothe you, can give you sleeping medication or pain medication," he says

"You know you took my virginity yesterday, it's hurt and scarred me how do you expect me just to easily get over that, especially knowing it will happen again," I say, how does he expect me just to confide in him when he is the problem but that is my life now.

"It is the way the world works, you just have to swallow your defeats and move on and I know that's what you excel at" he shrugs

"It will take a few days," I say

"I understand that no promises I won't do that again, you just need to keep moving on, you don't have an owner with humanity I won't be able to soothe you the ways others will yes I have my wolf side but my vampire side always beats that," he says just opening my cage door as I just nod he is right, I just have to swallow my defeat and stay strong me being like this, broken, fragile it gives him more ammunition to make me suffer more it gives him victory. Xander is very very confusing, very erratic one second he is a blank canvas almost void-like, then the next he is sadistic and off his head.

I let him help me out as I just grab him for a second when my legs feel like they are about to drop as I just stretch them out "I do have a very large bed" he says looking at me but I do see a little sadistic smile on his lips, it's worse enough being paranoid the whole night he will do something but at least my cage gives me a little bit of safety but I will be completely vulnerable if sleeping with him.

"I don't trust you," I say

"That is an issue since I am the only one here you should trust, even my slave you should not trust he can and may very well try to stab your back any second," he says signalling to Isaac in the corner as he just makes his bed, he looks back briefly but doesn't respond "But if your concerned I will play with you when you are sleeping, don't what's the point of doing that when I want my victims to be awake and feeling everything, sleeping is too merciful for them," he says.

"Does that mean you trust me then to not be uncaged?" I say

"By me showing you trust I would hope it replicates but no it's not that I trust you not to run, I trust you not to be stupid, every exit we believe a human can escape from we made a trap, vents lead to the dungeon, windows have alarms that sound if someone jumps, we have cameras everything, card scanning everywhere after the Tarnee incident, we also have facial recognition to ensure no one can steal cards, the way Isaac escaped we ensure we trapped that too, we have branding to make sure if a human someone gets out they will get caught, it's near impossible to run plus the world is becoming a wasteland there is nowhere to go. We destroyed all buildings, recourses are low, towns that are running are compelled there is no escape, I have no doubt there is a freedom group somewhere but not near here not to mention the weather conditions winter is here, its brutal outside, a human dressed like you are will easily get hypothermia" he says

He is right but what Xander doesn't know if I were to run it wouldn't be to escape, it would be to die.

"I won't run, I promise," I say well for now anyways but I'm not giving up hope things can change and that maybe there is a group out there that could save humanity.
