Demanding Vampires

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

I woke up in a dark room. For a moment I panicked because I forgot where I was but soon enough I realised. ' Shit!' I said as I got up walking to what hopefully was one of the windows. ' Ouch!' I walked into the bed side table. I stretched my hand and sure enough I touched the silky material of the curtains. The instant I pulled them open just to be blinded by the light. I covered my eyes with my hands until they adjusted to the light. I didn't see the sun in two days so at first it was a shock. Just when I realised how much I missed it. Everything seemed happier in daylight... And more alive. I looked round my room for something to put over my black short nightdress. I finally found a black zip up jacket and put it on. The whole place seemed really cold and I didn't enjoy cold places much. I walked out of my room trying my best to be silent. My bare feet not making a sound. I walked along a long corridor until I saw stairs leading down. I walked down the stairs relieved that I finally recognised something. I was making a mind map of the place so I knew how to get back to my room. I walked up to the big sitting room that we all were in yesterday. Inside that room was exactly what I was looking for. A giant flat screen TV with a stack of DVDs under it. I silently ran up to the stack of DVDs and started looking throw them. Lot of them were about war and past events like Titanic but I found something that suited my tastes. Warm Bodies, the most epic movie ever. I smiled to my self happy. How to work the TV and DVD took me some time but eventually I lied down on the cough in front of the telly waiting for the movie to start.

I was woken up by a cold hand stroking my cheek. Slowly I stirred opening my eyes. ' I see the sleeping beauty finally awake.' Michael said and smiled. I returned his smile while scanning the room. I was still on the cough in front of the big TV. I must have fallen asleep while watching Warm Bodies. My stomach rumbled and Michael started laughing. ' Oh dear me I forgot you were human for a while. You need something to eat.' That while was two full days! But something to eat did sound good. ' Turaya you go upstairs get dressed and I will make you some breakfast. I left clothes on your bed and today you going on a shopping trip with Rachel.' I looked at the windows to see that it got fully dark. And he was talking about breakfast?! ' Now go get dressed, it's unladylike to go round in your nightdress for every one to see.' Michael said in a demanding voice pointing at the door. Oh joy now he was talking about ladylike manners. That possibly impossible for me to act like a lady. Next he be talking about corsets and arranged marriage. Michael chuckled. I got up and walked up to the door trying to make myself look as fearless as possible. The truth was that Michael really scared me and I didn't like that one bit. I was so glad that I made myself remember the way to my room. When I got in and closed the door I breathed a sight of relief. Round Michael I felt really trapped and it felt like I couldn't breath. I walked up to my bed to see that it was made, both curtains now were open and the outfit was on my bed like he said. It was a pair of black skinny jeans, a red tight t-shirt and something that made my heart stop. ' Dammit Michael!' I snarled mad as ever. On my bed lay a black corset. I did wear corsets before but they were part of dresses that I wore, plus they didn't suffocate you. ' It's freaking 21st century.' I jumped when I heard a knock on the door. ' Turaya, it's Isabella. Can I please come in?' I didn't want to see anyone but pissing off another vampire tonight wouldn't be a good idea. ' Sure.' I said loudly. Isabella came in with look of worry on her face. ' I heard you cursing. Is everything ok?' She said with concern lacing her voice. My first reaction was to say ' Sure, I'm fine.' But somehow it didn't seem right. I told that everytime someone asked a question about my feelings no matter if it was true or not. But this time I couldn't say it. So I decided to tell the truth. ' Michael just really makes me mad.' I said. ' What did he do this time?' Isabella said in a voice that some would use on a little child. I pointed at the corset lying on my bed. She looked at me and smiled ' Corsets are really good to give you a good figure, make you sit straight and elegant also the good teaching ladylike manners.' Isabella said. 'But I don't want to wear one.' I moaned, probably sounding like a little kid. ' Tough luck, you will wear it whenever you like it or not!' Isabella was sounding cross now and I didn't really like it. ' But its only because he wants revenge for yesterday!' I glared at her, really pissed off. I never been forced to wear or not wear anything. Unlike other goths I met I never had trouble with my parents for wearing goth fashion and they never tried to force me into anything. I simply choose to be myself without the interfere of others. ' I am not!' I said loudly and started making my way forward the bathroom but Isabella using vampire speed beat me to it by standing in front of the door. ' Young lady! I will not take your hissy fit and let you shout at me! You will do as I say or I will force you!' She practically yelled the last sentence. I couldn't believe that this was happening. I was having an argument with a vampire who was trying to force me to wear a corset. ' It's freaking 21st century!' I yelled back at her. Now she was in front of me having me by my neck. ' You will not disrespect me ever again, understood?!' Her eyes gone fully black and her fangs were out. She squished my neck cutting off my air supply. I nodded knowing there was no other option. Isabella released me and I fell to the floor. ' Go get dressed now.' She said in a calm voice pointing at the cloths. Great, so now there are two pissed of vampires this morning. This morning!? So now I'm calling 9pm morning... I'm just gonna blame this one on Michael.

' Take a deep breath Turaya.' Isabella said while pulling the strings of that god damn corset. ' Eeek.' I squeaked as I felt my stomach being strangled. I hated the feeling. I couldn't take a proper breath and my waist hurt from the pressure that was on it. ' All done. See that wasn't so bad, now was it?' Isabella said pleased. Sure my waist looked amazing but it sure didn't feel amazing. I didn't say anything, I had to focus on my breathing. I held on to my dresser so I didn't fall on my ass. ' Relax you're fine.' Isabella said tapping my back gently. ' Oh come on sit down when.' She said annoyed when she noticed that I still haven't done anything except stand in front of the mirror and stare. Isabella pulled me to the bed and pushed me so I sat down. But it wasn't that simple. The tight corset wouldn't allow my back to bent so I had to sit in a straight ladylike position. Oh shit! That moment I saw Rachel open my door. ' Isabella, Turaya needs to go down to get something to eat before we go out.' I didn't bother to reply, I just sat there staring at the whole world around me. When she finally looked at me she turned with an upset look to Isabella ' I guess Michael decided to take his revenge for yesterday.' Rachel looked at me with pity. ' Well it's not much of a revenge in my opinion. I mean, you had to wear them for at least a century.' Now they were talking about me as if I wasn't in the same room with them. Rachel sighed ' Fine Bell but lets go down now. You know better that to keep Michael waiting.' At the mention of Michaels name Isabella's face became lustful. I could swear that there was something between those two.

When we got downstairs I was in a massive bad mood. I couldn't breathe and I lost my appetite. ' Turaya I heard you were giving trouble Isabella.' Michael scolded me as soon as he saw me. I just give him a dirty look and sat down at the kitchen table. Straight. On the table lay a bowl of porridge. Ok don't get me wrong, it's not that I wasn't hungry I was. It's the fact that my ribcage was so squashed that I didn't think that I could eat anything. Thankfully I was here long enough to know what to do. I plastered a big smile on my face and said looking at Rachel ' I'm too exited to eat, can't we go now.' Rachels face instantly brightened ' Why not, lets go Turaya!' She practically screamed grabbing my hand. ' Rachel.' Michael tried to stop her but we were already out the door.

When we were finally in the car driving I said to Rachel ' Thanks for the save.' She smiled and said ' Don't worry about it, Isabella was changed early so she never knew what corseting felt like... She just wanted to please Michael.' That sounded interesting. ' So is there something between them?' I asked curiosity getting the better of me. ' She would want that but Michael is quite insisting that he doesn't want a mate any time soon...' That made me feel quite sorry for the vampire woman. It was clear she adored him. ' The good news for you is that you be changing a LOT. So the corset comes off.' That decently made my night. ' Thanks heaven, I can barely breath in that thing.'

Authors note: So I decided to skip the whole shopping experience because soon I will give the story a dark twist. :D Like always thanks for reading xxx
