BOUGHT BY A VAMPIRE

Unwanted danger is soon to come

Adrian

I was walking all around the mansion looking for Stella.

I was starting to get a bit worried because I've been looking for her for hours.

It wasn't until I found her in her room sitting on her bed.

There you are!

You kept me waiting a bit, you naughty thing. I said to her as I walked into her room.

I closed the door behind me.

Sorry, I still can't find the ins and outs of this place. Stella explained.

Oh no, are you still getting lost around the mansion? I asked.

You could say that. Stella said before giggling.

I suppose that is to be expected.

Don't worry, I promise you one day you'll know it so well you could find your way with your eyes closed. I joked.

Stella scoffed when I said this.

There's no need to rush. You have your whole life to grow accustomed.

Now Fredrick told you why I summoned you, yes? I asked curiously.

Stella just nodded and looked down. He didn't?

Hmm. I said thoughtfully.

You know he's getting on an age he's been with me a very long time.

It's a shame Marshall starts to deteriorate that way. I told her.

Why were you looking for me? Stella asked.

Well… Surprise! I wanted to have a private dinner with you. I said.

Really? Stella asked questioningly.

Yes, I tried to do this somewhat frequently with each of my dear ones, at least when I have the time.

So please come here and sit next to me. I said as I brought over a small folding table with her food on it.

Stella came over to sit down. I ordered a lovely arrangement of food for you.

We have roast beef, a beautiful spinach salad assortment and dried fruits, wine, of course, and I'm told that they're quite delicious. I said, smiling at her.

Aren't you going to eat? Stella asked.

No, sweetheart, I won't be eating, I only consume blood. I said. How come?

Are you on a diet or something? Stella asked.

Uh… no, it just does awful things to me if I try to eat anything else.

You'll be the only one eating, but we can talk together while you do.

You'll get used to it. I told her. Please eat. I said to her as I passed her the basket of fruit.

Stella took a bite of the roast beef.

Wow! You weren't really lying when you said it was delicious.

It's more than delicious, in fact. Stella said as she widened her eyes in satisfaction.

You know there is a reason why I selected this menu for you. I said.

Is it because you know the foods that I love? Stella asked.

Foods that you love? I paraphrased. Noted, butter no, that's not why. Actually, all these foods help replenish less blood.

Stella took another bite of the roast beef.

I told you before how delicious your blood is,and I'm considering making a snack for you every so often, and I need you to eat a lot of iron foods to make up for it.
