You winced at the feeling of the sharp piercing pain growing on your neck and quickly gripped the clothing on his back.
"I-It hurts." You groaned, trying to not to squirm to much as you were. Ferid slowly lifted his teeth from your neck and wiped the blood from his mouth on to the back of his hand. "You know, you're a lot squeamish compared to the others I drink from." He stated. You looked down, not wanting to respond.
Ferid smirked and got up leaving you on the ground, brushing himself off. You slipped back your sleeve onto your shoulder and clenched your jaw, trying to focus on anything but the pain in your neck.
"You did keep the end of your bargain so I suppose I must keep mine," Ferid said smiling at you, but you didn't look back at him. "So what would you like?" He asked, walking toward you.
'To hurt you' you thought, annoyed.
"Cake." You said looking up at Ferid hesitantly. "Why cake?" He asked kneeling in front of you, making you and him the same eye level. "I want to taste something sweet..." You lied, standing up, no longer eye level with Ferid. You weren't going to eat it, you would give it to Aaron for an apology for leaving him.
"Okay~" He said, giving you a warm smile and standing back up.Ferid had taken you back to the area where you slept and wasn't to far away to where Aaron was, with the cake in your hands. "Thank you." You mumbled, looking down at your feet. Ferid chuckled slightly and placed his hand on your head. "Come bye my castle at any time." He said warmly. You nodded and started to walk away but was quickly pulled into an embrace by Ferid that left you shocked. He was horrifically taller than you, so he had to bend down some what to place his head on your shoulder. He put his lips to your ear and whispered to you softly.
"There all going to die."
Your stomach tightens and you catch your breath. Ferid stood back up straight and walked away, smiling at you and waving goodbye, as if what he said never happened.
Your knees became weak but quickly got yourself together and ran to Aaron's house. You sprinted, trying not to drop the cake and mangled to make it there without tripping. You tried to catch your breath before nocking on the door. A girl opens the door with brown hair braided to the side and looked to be the same age as you. "Oh! Hello!" Said the girl kindly. You shoved the cake toward her and bowed. "This is for Aaron!" You said embarrassed. "Oh he's sleeping, I can go get him up though." She explained pointing inside of the building. "No, no!" You said. "Just...tell him I'm sorry." She looked at you with pity in her eyes but quickly smiled and nodded. "Thank you." She said. You waved goodbye and walked back to the place you called home.
You laid down on the cold cement floor and sighed looking up at the ceiling. You started to think on what Ferid had said but didn't know what he had meant. You brushed it off, not thinking that it had mattered, and he was just trying too scare you, and fell asleep.Days had passed and you haven't seen Aaron in a while. You've considered dropping by the orphanage but thought you would be bothering. You decided to walk around the area to see if you would find Aaron around, trying to find peculiar items to show you, but never found him.
"(Y/N)~". You quickly turned around, expecting to find Aaron but only saw Ferid. "Hello Ferid!" You said, smiling. You learned that if you acted more polite around Ferid, he would get you more items and wouldn't try to hurt you as much when he sucked your blood, yet sometimes, this actually turned into the opposite with the blood sucking part, him becoming more rough then usual. "Do you want to me to your castle?" You asked politely, trying not to throw up what little food you ate earlier from seeing Ferid.
"You can read me clearly, can't you?" He said with satisfaction in his voice. He lead the way to his castle and you followed like the lamb you were.Hours had passed, with the proses of Ferid bitting your skin in different areas that would leave you in pain later on in the day, more hurting then others. He was careful to hide the bites though, easy to cover up. You knew that if Aaron would see the marks Ferid left, he would go berserk. He would do something irrational.
All of a sudden, there was a nock on the door.
"Sir." Said a voice on the other side of the door.
Ferid quickly left his mouth from your neck, but too quickly, ripping your skin making a deep wound on your neck causing you to gasp. Before you could let the whole grasp come out, Ferid quickly smothered your mouth with his gloved hand before it could be loudly heard.
You looked at Ferid, tears overflowing in your eyes. Yet when you saw Ferid's expression, you had completely forgot the pain on your neck. He had somewhat of fear and shock in his eyes.There room became quite.
"Sir." The voice said again behind the door, a little more impatient.
You heard the doorknob turn, making a slight click sound and a the door creaking open, but before the door had opened up the slightest, Ferid had pushed himself off you and slammed the door shut with his hand.
"Hasn't anyone ever taught you manners and not barge into rooms ?" Ferid asked with annoyance. He sighed and leaned his wait on the door. "I'll be there soon." Ferid said with a more cheerful tone.
You could hear the vampires footsteps fade away from the other side of the door and looked at Ferid. Him getting up and all was so sudden it took you time to process what had happened.
"Looks like are play time will have to end shorter then normal," Feeid teased.
You nodded and quickly sat up putting your your shirt back in its proper place.
You walked toward Ferid signaling you were ready to leave. Ferid warmly smiled at you and walked out the door, you following behind.
"Er....Ferid?" You asked, breaking the silence. "Mm-hm" he responded, not looking back at you.
"Would you know where Aaron would be? The boy I took his place on you taking his blood?"
Ferid stopped in place and silence fell again.
Ferid chuckled and glanced back at you. "Don't you remember what i said, (Y/N)?" You looked at him, confused on to what he was talking about. He grinned and walked up to you. "I'll show you, if you would like." He said with a grin, making your blood turn cold. You quickly nodded. Ferid laughed, "alright, I'll show you."You and Ferid had left his castle and had lead you to a part of the vampire city you were not aware of. The longer you and Ferid walked, the more ran threw you head to where Aaron could be. Was he hurt, scared, lost? Did Ferid do something to hurt him?
You bumped into Ferid, not noticing he had stopped in his track. "You should really pay more attention to your surroundings," he warned. " it can get you killed." You looked down at the floor, caring less on what he had to say.
"Look (Y/N)." Ferid began. "Your friend did tell you he was in an orphanage, correct?" He asked, and you quickly responding yes. "A couple of nights ago, him and his orphanage had mad the stupid decision in trying to the leave the city threw that exit." He said pointing at a large dark doorway leading to somewhere you weren't sure to to.
Ferid looked at you with a wicked smile plastered on his lips. " I had killed all of them. It was really pitiful, I must say, but enjoyable to see there expressions turn to fear." He said with delight.
Time had stopped. You breath was caught in your throat and you couldn't hear your heart beat. You didn't want to believe leave him but the dark red stains on the concrete said otherwise.
"W-wha...." You started but if you said anymore, you would have collapsed.
"Though....one did survive." Ferid stated. "And I'm giving you the opportunity to escape as well."
You looked at him with confusion. "Why?" You said, voice cracking.
"Because I want to play a game. I want to see you suffer more then I saw them suffer." Ferid said wickedly.
"But remember (Y/N).... I will find you again."
You looked at him with fear overwhelming your body but you looked at Ferid, stepping back. Watching him, expecting something to happen. But he didn't move. He just looked at you with a smile that will always make you feel sick.
You start to walk faster toward the exit, still looking at Ferid. He didn't move. You turned around running. He didn't move. You sprinted to the door not daring to look back. And he still didn't move. He stayed. You knew he would keep his promise
You ran threw the tunnel as fast as your legs could carry you. You ran faster and faster, holding your breath, not wanting to make a sound. You looked down noticing you could see your breath and it quickly became cold. You were quickly blinded by a bright light and quickly stopped.
It took a while for you to have your eyes get use to your surroundings. When they cleared up you saw snow falling into the ground and joining the piles of snow resting on the ground. You looked ahead to see building perfectly stable. Not collapsed or damaged. The work didn't end.
You feel to your knees, clutching the snow on the ground, ignoring how could you were and looked at the sky, having snowflakes softly fall on your face and began to cry. You cried and cried, your sight becoming blurry.
"I'm....I-I'm out." You mumbled to yourself. You smiled at the sky feeling joy and happiness
"I'm free."------------------
