My Saviors

CHAPTER TWO

I slowly open my eyes after feeling someone tap my shoulder lightly. I turn my head to see master looking at me with a pleased smile. I wonder what he is so happy about. I ask in my mind. I look around and see that we are still in the car. I look out the window and see that it's almost nighttime...again. Was I honestly asleep for an entire day? Minus the couple of times, I woke up hungry.

"Ariel. We are only 15 minutes away from your new home. Aren't you excited?" Master asks with a pleasant yet sad expression.

"A little bit...I just don't know if I'll fit in there. I haven't been a newcomer for a while...the last time was the time you bought me, master." I say realizing that I haven't thought about it since that day.

"Well yes, time does fly, you were only 13 years in human age back then, you were so young and lively...it took forever to find the right type of clients for you." Master says in response. The driver interrupts our conversation, "We've just entered the portal, sir, we'll arrive in about 5 to 8 minutes." The driver looks through the rearview mirror to see master's response and master nods, alerting the driver that master has acknowledged this.

"Ariel. I have one last thing to give you before you are gone for good." Master says out of the blue. I look at him curiously.

"Sure, what is it?" I say looking at him as he reaches for something out of his coat pocket. He takes it out and it looks to be a necklace of some sort.

"It's a rare necklace only found in the clans of incubi and succubi. I figured that it would suit you especially on an occasion like this." Master says as he hands me the necklace. I study it and realize that the eyes are a deep maroon such as mine, master must've spent a while searching for this, I think as I continue to examine it.

"Thank you, it's very pretty." I say holding it to my chest. I just realized that I don't even know the name of the person who's supposed to become my new master. "Um...master, what is the name of my new master?" I ask hoping he'll tell me.

"Oh, sorry, guess I forgot to mention it yesterday. It's Alaric, Alaric Nikolae." My master says nicely. That's a vampire name, and it's a pureblood name at that. So, my new master is a pureblood vampire, interesting...

The car pulls to a stop at last and the driver opens master's door first and then my door. I stand up and stretch. I don't notice the man standing 5 feet away from me until I open my eyes and turn my head to look at the gigantic mansion, the one I'll be living in from now on.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there." I say as politely as possible even though having an attitude is an incubus specialty. I look at the man in front of me, he's tall, maybe around 6'0". I notice that under his shirt he has defined muscles running up and down his arms and torso, same goes for his legs. I hadn't noticed that I was staring until... "Ariel...that's your name, correct?" I hear the man ask, the one whom I was staring at just now.

"Y-yes, that's right." I say, responding to his question. Shit, I stuttered, well no going back now.

"It suits you quit well." He says taking my hand in his and placing a gentle kiss on it. I haven't seen respect like this for centuries...whatever, he's a vampire, of course he would greet me like this, I'm just a slut after all...and that's how they would 'court' us back in the day.

"Thank you, and I presume you to be Mr. Alaric Nikolae, am I correct?" I say returning from my wandering thoughts. I look at him and notice his eyes show a hint of lust and sorrow, but why sorrow?

"You have a keen eye for your age. Most of the boys I bring here assume I'm the butler at first." He says assuring me that I know whom I'm speaking with.
