The server slowly crept through the halls of the mansion tentatively. His eyes darted all around his surroundings. What would his lord want to summon him for? Could he possibly be punished? Executed? Maybe even given freedom?

As he approached the huge scarlet doors, his anxiety went through the roof. His hands hesitantly reached for the doorknob and slowly turned it. As her opens the door, the vampire was sitting at his desk. A sinister, yet weirdly charming smile on his lips.

"Greetings, dear Bram!" his vampiric charm being overly used towards the servant. Bram shivered slightly. He never heard the vampiric lord call him by his name so...formally!

The vampire lord smirked slyly, his lips quirking a bit. "Why so nervous?" he asked coyly. Bram froze a bit, not knowing how to respond to such a question.

As the servant tried to respond, the vampire walked closer, his eyes raking over his body, reading him like an open book. "Have you finished the task I assigned you?" he tilted his head to the side, a slightly menacing glint in his eye.

Bram took a deep breath before pulling out a basket from under the desk, filled with wine, assorted cheeses, etc. "Yes, my lord. Everything is ready." This made the vampire smile with twisted satisfaction.

"Good~" he replied in an almost seductive way before he gently sat the basket in top of his desk. "Go let our little friends in. We've got some unfinished business to attend to..."

Bram swallowed thickly before nodding. "Yes, my lord. Of course!"
