Slave to the Vampire Prince

Chapter 3: The Start of the Tests

We all lined up in a line, right in front of the stair case. Most girls kept their eye trained on the floor. I did the opposite, my eyes were straight up making eye contact.

As soon as we were all ready we heard "Introducing, their majesties- King Xavier Williams, and his son Prince Alexander Williams."

As soon as they entered, I let out a small, involuntary gasp. Not because of how intimidating they both looked, but because Prince Alexander was the mysterious gentleman I had danced with earlier!

The King started speaking, about how it was an 'honer' to see us, and he was so proud of his son and all that he has done. I wasn't really paying to much attention, the whole time I was looking at the Prince, making and breaking eye contact by looking at the King only a few times.

I didn't get it. How could someone who was so kind and caring about my safety from the royal family during the dance, be one of the very people he wanted to protect me from? I was so confused.

As soon as the King was done speaking, that was when the Prince started explaining what was about to happen. "So this year, we're going to do something a little bit different. First, you girls will have to go through a small series of medical tests to make sure you have no extreme medical problems or diseases. If you do not pass this test you are automatically released from the ball.

"Next is the physical and oral test. You will be required to strip down to your underwear for a eyeview. You will be escorted to my office where I will ask you basic questions, and you will be required to answer all of the questions. If I dismiss you, you may leave.

"Finally, we have the obedience test. You will be required to do a couple of tasks individually. I'll be monitoring you as you go during this one. I will dismiss you all one by one, the last girl standing is to be my slave.

"One final thing, don't even try to fail any of these test. If you do, there will be consequences- and I can guarantee you that they will be... severe."

As soon as the Prince was done giving his speech, all us were herded out of the ball room and into the medical examination rooms.

They told us to put on these hospital gowns, while they examined us for medical conditions like diabetes, cancer, or handicaps. Not many of the girls were dismissed after that, but I honestly felt bad for those who were. They knew they had these problems they couldn't control, and by dismissing them it was almost like saying that they weren't good enough to be so low as a slave- even if the alternative was being a farmer.

What most of the girls were dismissed after, was the virginity check. This really took me by surprise. Why would so many girls want to lose something so precious before an event meant to be for your true love?

When I was done, I was told to go and put the clothes I had come in back on. I didn't see why, we'd just have to take them off in five minutes.

As soon as every girl was done with the examinations, we were all escorted into spare bedrooms. There were at least ten girls per room, and we all had to strip naked infront of eachother. They took three rooms at one time to wait to be interviewed. We were the last group to be taken.

As I was waiting in the hallway, I couldn't help but look at the other girls. As I looked I noticed that some of the girls were malnourished and looked almost five years younger than they really were. The Prince was definitely not going to choose them, he was a player and was going to choose a girl who was obedient, but who he thought had a 'hot' body.

I also noticed that I was one of the only girls who was wearing matching underwear, let alone seductive. I had a small feeling that I was going to be chosen to go to the final test.

Before I knew it, I was being ushered into the office. I stood up, and walked into the office, my head held up high. The Prince was sitting at his desk, signing some papers. A guard shut the door and locked it, trapping me in with the Prince.
