When I awoke next, I was in a different room. In a larger, king sized bed.
'Where am I now?' I wondered.
Sitting up slowly my memories of that man... my new master, flooded back into my mind. The first thing coming to mind was the pleasure I'd felt. I touched my neck, but I felt nothing where he'd bit me.
I swung my legs over the side of the bed, looking around. I saw a large room, a wardrobe in the far right corner, and a door beside it. A dresser on the left of it and a TV on top of that. My eyes went from right to left as they drifted to another door in the room. I wondered which one led out of here. Looking down and to my right I see a note, addressed to me.
Pet,
First I must apologize, I didn't expect to not be here when you woke up. I will be back soon to show you the rules, however. But until that time, I need you to stay in this room. Disobey and I get word that you were walking about then I will have no choice but to punish you. After all pets must learn to listen. Be a good girl until I come back.
~Master
P.S. I left some cloths for you on top of the dresser. I'd rather not come home to see you in a bloodied shirt.
I wanted to cry, but not a single tear would fall from my eyes. Better yet, I wanted to die. But despite my feelings I stood. Walking over to the dresser which had a large mirror on top of it. My shirt was covered in blood. My blood. Looking down I looked at the outfit sitting atop that dresser. Lifting it I wasn't very surprised to find a maids outfit.
Now I really wanted to cry. But I changed nevertheless and when I looked in the mirror to tie the red ribbon on my black and white collar I realized just how it barely covered my front at all. Not to mention the draft on my ass. Curse my long legs. Then, I realized under the dress had been some white tights.
'At least he has some desency..' I thought. I slipped them on and turned my lower half slightly to see what it looked like in the mirror. I wasn't showing off too much but... I still wish it covered more. Beggers can't be choosers I guess. I picked up a black pair of flats that sat on the dresser and put them on.
A knock came at the door and made me jump. "Hello? Miss?" Called a soft, sweet voice. I walked to the door, opening it just slightly. "Y-yes?" I asked, surprised to see a little girl behind the door. "Hello!" She chirped, "May I come in?" She asked sweetly as I noticed a larger gentleman behind her. Noticing my concern, she turned to the man, "Oh don't worry. That's Cecil. He's a pet. Like you!" She said happily. He looked at me with a stoic face, portraying nothing of thought or feeling. I stepped back, letting the door open and she came running in like an aeroplane. "Neeeeeeeerm!" She said childishly, laughing.
She landed on the bed with an "Umph." And giggled. Cecil standing beside me as we watched her. "My brother called, and told me to come explain things to you. He'll be home later than he thought." She explained. I nodded, slightly afraid to say or ask too much. If she was related to that man... then she too is a vampire.
"Rule one, never go any where unless told to. Two, always call everyone, including myself, mistress or sir. As for my brother you call him master." She said counting on her fingers. "Three, whatever my brother wants you give. You cannot and will not reject or say no. Got that?" She asked suddenly very serious. I nodded my response nervously. "Cecil will explain to you your duties as pets. I must go to my room and play now. Nice talking to you!" She said in a cutesy demenor again.
When she left me and Cecil let out a breath of relief. Now that she was gone, I noticed Cecil more. He was tall, with blonde hair. And... a blind fold over his eyes. "Question?" He asked curiously, looking dead at me. His voice was low and raspy, almost warped. "Why... do you have a blindfold." I asked hesitantly. He chuckled low in his throat. "Well..." He paused lifting up a hand and took off the blind fold, I was shocked to see he had no eyes. Like they were... ripped from their sockets. Dried blood around them.
His face looked as though he expected a different reaction. I looked away my eyes to the floor. "Sorry..." I mumbled. "I get the question a lot... so I just show people. I can still see, it's just the memory that bothers me." He said walking over the to dresser and sitting on it. "You can see?!" I questioned quickly "Yes." He said, "I can see." Cecil nodded smiling to see my shock. "How?" I asked and he shrugged. "Well... a curse I guess. I can see mostly for the fact that I am a demon, but young Mistress was so upset for what she did to me she made a witch cast a spell to give me sight with no eyes." He explained and I paled. "She... did that?" I asked in disbelief. Cecil smirked at me, "Yes... she has her tantrums... but unlike a human child's they are brutal... very brutal." He spoke and sighed.
"But," he put his blind fold back on, "Besides my eyes, let's talk about things you need to know." He said and I remembered I was in a maids outfit. Looking at his attire he was in... almost a butlers outfit. A tail on his coat and a white collars shirt on him. "Okay..." I muttered and walked over to the bed, sitting down. He hopped down and walked in front of me, getting close to my face. "Keep. Him. Happy." He said with more warped sounds to his voice now. "If the prince is unhappy all of us are. The vampires and slaves. But he will give you hell." He said with a growl. "O-o-okay." I said suddenly feeling like a soldier being yelled at by my boss. "He can and will punish you if you do not do as told. He decides what and if you question him it will make things worse.
He took about 20 minutes to go through everything I needed to know, including the layout of the castle. "Okay... can I go back to you for a second?" I asked. He shrugged. "You're a demon... but I'm human... why?" I asked curiously. "The females of vampires aren't as strong as the males. So they use us demons to protect the females. We have a bond formed that allows me to know her exact location and emotions. I was bought at a demon sale. We're sold to other creatures for.. work.. or slavery.. or protection. In my case, the last two." He explained. "Humans are used for the male vampires, female humans are usually used more. For reasons I'm sure you can imagine, and you happen to be a very clean race, believe it or not." He said watching me closely. I nodded in response. "For now I must go. My mistress is calling to me," he said walking to the door. "Farewell, little human." He said quietly as he stepped out, leaving me to my solitude.
