~ The truth shall set you free. I guess. ~
Emaline Throndsone
I couldn't help the tears streaming down my face. It finally sinked in that I this was truly real and my relatives and friends had forgotten about me, and I no longer existed in their lives. There was no other way but to actually obey Brielle and become her pet. What an awful way to regard a person, I was a pet. Something they used to their needs and wants that I had no say in.
I wanted out so bad, but I didn't even know where to go or what to do. I hated being here. I cried so hard that my throat hurt and felt my lungs were limited to oxygen. I felt a hand soothing my back, and I jumped back to see Mandy trying her best to console me. I had forgotten she was still there in the room
"It's ok, Emaline." She kept saying that as she traced her hands in circles on my back, "it's ok."
When I stopped crying, Mandy told me to finish my food and take a bath. I did as I was told but did with a heavy heart that made me feel as if I was doing chores instead of taking care of myself. It felt somehow unnecessary and useless to do anything. Mandy helped me get clean and dressed me in a tennis skirt and loose top.
She sat me in the dining room as she disappeared into the house. All I could think about in that moment was how I ended up in this situation and why. I hadn't done anything to deserve my whole life taken away from me. Maybe I shouldn't have gone to that party in the first place, just like I had initially thought.
The whole reason I ended up here was that Rachel forced me to, and I agreed because, after all, we were friends, and then she just had to leave me for a boy she had never met. Where was she now? Was she also taken by a vampire, or she didn't even notice my disappearance. If this was the in between of heaven and hell, I was definitely on it, although it felt more like hell than heaven. I prefer death to this place
"What are you thinking about?" Mandy came back and sat next to me, and I looked, taking in her features
She had brown hair and brown skin, and she had blue eyes that were big and bright. Her wrinkles had exposed her age, but she wasn't necessarily old but seemed to be in her early forties. She didn't look like a vampire, but I couldn't really differentiate between a vampire and a human
"Nothing." I lied to her, not wanting to have a conversation about my thoughts. She patiently observed me, but her eyes felt nothing like how Brielle observed me. Mandy's eyes were more comforting and welcoming, whereas Brielle's eyes were uninviting and calculating.
"So Emaline, tell me about your family." She tried to open up a conversation that felt more like a studying opportunity for her. She gave off a therapist behavior rather than just a maid, or maybe I'm overthinking things, and she just loves conversation, but I wasn't in the mood to talk
"I don't really want to talk about that." I told her honestly. It wasn't about my family that I didn't want to talk about but more of the fact that I'll probably never see them again
"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that." She apologized as we sat in silence, but it didn't last long when she yet again asked another question
"Do you read books, Emaline?" This question was more random but allowed an easy flow of conversation
"Yes." I answered plainly
"What type of books do you read?"
"Well, any type of book I find interesting, really." I tried to recall all the types of books that I read and loved, "I mostly emphasize on romance novels." I added
"So, do you have high expectations of people?" That was an odd question to ask, I thought to myself
"No.Why do you ask?" I answered with a light chuckle
"No reason." She started to fiddle with her hands, and I could tell she wasn't saying something she knew I wanted to hear but was afraid to find out so I didn't press on the matter instead I asked my own question
"Why am I here?" I paid attention to her body language for any sign that told me otherwise to her answer
"Well, to be a pet, of course?" She said that like it had been an obvious answer, but I don't think she understood what I meant
"But why?" I asked again
"Well, shouldn't you ask your master that?" Her body language told me she was being honest with the answer, and I had been afraid of that because then I had to talk to her
"Brielle is difficult. I know that, but give her some time, and you'll see the bright side of her." Another thing I was afraid of
How long did I have to stay to realize how a good person she could be. I doubted that, though I didn't think she was a good person, but I couldn't assume she was a bad person either
"Where does she go when she leaves?" I asked, wanting to know how I was going to work around her when she was and wasn't home
"Normally, she goes to work. She has a security business thing she owns." How ironic the person who kept me safe was the person I wanted to desperately be away from
"Brielle said in return for being immortal she turned me into a vampire, but I don't have fangs." Another realization downed on me that I was her pet only because she saved me from my death
"Well, you're supposed to be, but you're not quit yet."She answered in a tone that didn't seem all that convinced
"Why not?" I tried to pry into the truth
"Well, that would be the other thing you would want to ask Brielle."
