The Vampire Prison

Chapter 6

Alice's POV
I did it, I pushed him and wrapped the chains on him until I heard a click echo through the air, it was obvious my push didn't do anything but he was complying. He was letting me do whatever I wanted.

"There all done." I say aloud so the guards are aware that I've ensured the king is secure and won't be escaping anytime soon even though I have a feeling if he wanted to he could break the chains again.

The guards all seemed pleased, some shocked with their jaws on the floor and then the head guard seemed to be looking ecstatic as if he'd just won the lottery. "This is amazing." He stated before continuing "You must be his guard no arguing!" He stated firmly.

I didn't want to be his personal guard. I'd probably get used as a blood bag too (yes that's an actually thing) I glance a look back at the king who doesn't look like the king right now he has a smile on his face. It's tiny but it's there, I can see it.

Sighing I tell them how I feel about this whole idea "Sir, I don't think this is ideal. We all know how big of a threat he is." As soon as I've finished I hear snarling from the king as he snarls "Don't fucking call him sir!" His eyes are gold again!

My heart rate picks up, how the hell do they expect me to babysit this big oaf?

The guard uses his silver stick and whips it "Don't speak to her like that you beast!" He warns.

The head guard is in deep thought before he tells us his terrible thoughts "I know we're making the king your slave and you will be his human guard keeping an eye out. However, I have a feeling he is the one for you Miss Black! Plus you will get to decide at the end." He exclaims happily.

Continuing to explain "He's never let anyone touch him before, heck he's never let anyone close enough before trying to rip their heads off." He laughs at the end as if this is a joke to him.

I can't help but question "How many?" It's just below a whisper making the guard not here me properly as he asks me to repeat my question, so I do however a bit louder this time "How many has he killed?"

The head guard seems in deep thought before replying "He's been locked up here for thousands of years due to nobody wanting him, my guess is thousands."

I repeat what he said "Thousands?" As if to let it sink in, but it doesn't and his response doesn't help me. He shrugs nonchalantly "Meh, thousands millions."

I can't wrap my head around this. I just can't. But for some weird reason I feel safe as if knowing he won't ever hurt me he'll be my...protector. What stupid thoughts I want to slap my self in the face for thinking like this.

"Moving on Miss Black, you will stay here with the king and he will do as you say." He orders before looking at the king saying " You will follow her orders and cause her no harm. If she is hurt or you kill her you will not get another chance." He warns him.

The vampire king just glares "I would rather cut my arm off and tear my own heart out before ever laying a finger against her Mr Dofnut." He says in between low growls.

DOFNUS?! I laugh before saying "DOFNUS?! Your name is Dofnus?" I'm giggling loudly at this point because who calls their child Dofnus?

The kings eyes are a soft black and seem to be full of adoration. Mr Dofnus blushes a tiny bit as if he's embarrassed before clearing his throat claiming "No Dofnus is my last name Miss Black. Now fill in the forms."

I let out an exaggerated sigh before taking the papers from him and scan reading them, "These forms are just temporary, so he's not yours and your not claiming him or anything so you don't have to worry." He reassures.

As soon as he finishes his sentence the king growls and snaps his jaws at him, gone the adoring eyes that he was showing me. His eyes are still black but a tiny hint of specs of red and gold they look hard and furious with what Mr Dofus said.

"Who are you to say who she can claim and not!?" He questions although I could barely understand him with how animalistic he sounded it totally matched his appearance.

"Look big guy, I agree with him this is only temporary until I find my vampire then get back to my old life." I explain to him so he understands. "You're mine! Nobody else's but MINE." He states each word carefully to make sure I understand. I just shook my head.

"No, I am not yours. Plus, we just met dude." I pointed out the obvious. Damn where did I get the courage from?

He roars eyes blazing red 'MINE!" "MATE!" "MINE!"

But his roar distinguishes into ever so small whimpers "Mate can't leave, mate can't, she CANT!" "Must protect mate and be there for mate!" It's as if he's talking to himself.
