I slept without dreaming until the morning. Then I dreamt of my body just lying there in a field and my neck felt hot. Then it got hotter and hotter until it was unbearable. It felt like I was being burnt or electrocuted by something that magically appeared on my neck. I started screaming and then I heard fighting that woke me up. Was I still dreaming, was this last week some crazy nightmare. The boy from the dream was welling at the lady that brought me to his room.
I slowly got my senses back and I could hear what they were saying. He was screaming at her "don't you f*ck!ng, try to use that f*ck!ng thing on her again. She wasn't hurting you, now was she." He seemed pissed about something. She yelled "she needs to learn her place here. She was to be up 30 minutes ago to do her chores, and why do you care if I use the collar."
I felt the same fire/electrocuting feeling as in my dream. Only this time it was worse and I started choking and I couldn't breathe or even move. My muscles were locked in place. I felt cold but hot at the same time
She was holding some control in her hand until the boy took it and through it in his drawer. He then locked it inside. It stopped and I gasp for air. The boy said "GET. OUT. NOW"
I realized something. This wasn't a dream. That pain was all too real and too excruciating to be a dream. When I was better, not good but at least functional, I ran through the closest door I saw. I locked myself in and started crying.
I didn't know where I was, what was going to happen, that boy's name... hell, I didn't even know who I was. I knew I was changed into a vampire but that also changed me, my personality. After all that I've gone through I just broke down. I couldn't help it. I just cried.
I wiped it away with my hand and looked down at it. It looked like watered down blood. I gasp. Looking around, I noticed I was in a bathroom. I found a red towel and cleaned myself of. I still couldn't stop crying but now I was crying into the towel.
A knock came from the door and the boy said "are you hurt, are you ok?"
I didn't know how to reply. No, I wasn't physically hurt but I wasn't ok, either. I let out a small chuckle. I don't know why but I get hysterical when I feel like crying or when I'm nervous.
I have no freaking clue what his name is so I'm just gonna nickname him. My name for him is ummmm. well he looks cute with his spiky bed hair
Well, SPIKE kept banging on the door and I kept crying. He said "answer me so I know that your not hurt or I'm going to break the door down." I squeaked out an "I'm fine, please leave." I heard his footsteps leave and I broke down crying again.
Dustin's (Spike) Pov-
I locked my door and then rushed over to...destiny. She still never told me her name. She yelled at me for calling her destiny but she never told me what her name was.
I was worried that she hurt her neck so I went over and banged on the door. I asked "are you hurt, are you ok?" she didn't answer and I was getting more worried. I heard a whimper and it almost sounded like a small laugh and I, the pessimist I am, assumed the worst.
I imagined this small, defenseless girl on the bathroom floor with the collar that burnt through her neck. I banged on the door and it creaked with the force of my fist. I screamed "answer me so I know that your not hurt or I'm going to break the door down." she squeaked out an "I'm fine, please leave." She sounded like she was crying.
I gave her, her space because I knew she would hate me if I pushed her to talk.
I went to speak to my father. I unlocked the door and headed to his office. I don't know what his job was because he refused to tell me and after a while a just gave up. If you're looking for my dad he's always in his office.
I knocked on his door and he said "come in." I walked in and told him flat out "if the head maid, Mrs. Tucker, ever hurts...Destiny again she will be fired. She gets no more second chances. She is violent and acts like a bully. I will not put up with this any longer, this is her last chance."
My father stood up and said "what happened son?" I told him "she electrocuted Destiny while she was sleeping." My father showed no sympathy and he said "yes and... I told her to get the vampire up. She was doing what I told her." I was staring at him with shock and disgust.
I yelled at him. "You gave destiny to me, correct. There for what happens to her is up to me, correct. I know I have no control over how you treat the other servants but you will not harm nor order Destiny around. She is mine and I do not want you harming her." I stormed out the door and went back to my room.
I walked over and sat on my bed. I stayed there for a few minutes until I heard the bathroom door unlock. I got up and opened the door. She jumped and I gasped at the sight of her. She was stained with dark pink streaks, like she was dipped in watery blood. I rushed over and held her by the waist. I was panicking. I asked "where are you bleeding. Where are you bleeding?" Then she laughed. When she settled down she said "vampires cry blood" "o...sorry for overreacting."
I got a washcloth and took it to the sink. I ran it under some lukewarm water and then wrung it out. I walked over to her and held out my hand. At first she just looked at my hand but then, with shaky hands, she placed her hand in mine. I scrubbed her arms and up to her neck then her cheeks and under her eyes.
I laid the stained towel in the sink and then looked her over. She still looked horrible. Her hair was oily and knotted. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she still had a little blood in a few places. I said "I don't think I can get off all of the blood. Do you just want to get a bath instead."
Slowly and with jerky movement she shook her head yes. I got two big towels out, sat the shampoo and conditioner in the tub, and I showed her the drawers that were hers. I had bought her everything that she would need and put them in the drawers.
I left and she got a shower.
When she was done she knocked on the door. I walked over to it and said "yes." She whispered "I dnt haa aa clah" I said "can you please speak louder. The door is muffling everything." She cracked the door and stuck her head out. She said "I don't have any clothes" "o, umm. Aaaa. Here you can wear this for now." I handed her a pair of my boxers and a loose-fitting, thick shirt. "Sorry but I didn't know your size so I couldn't buy you clothes. We can go today if you want."
She came out and she looked....wow. Her hair was dark and long, and when it was wet it became curly. Her eyes looked better and more relaxed. The pink on her arms was washed off and her skin now looked like porcelain.
She went over to my bed and sat on it. I walked over and sat next to her. She faced me and asked "so, spike, what's your name?" I laughed "spike?" I asked
She just shrugged. I said "Dustin, Dustin Blake, but Spike's cool too and you?"
She said "o, woops, sorry for yelling at you earlier, I well...well...well..aaaaahhh."
I put my hand over hers and she flinched but didn't pull it away. I said "calm down, I wont hurt you." She closed her eyes and let out a heavy, shaky breath. She said "Jasmine Drake but everyone calls....called....." she looked like she was going to cry again so I pulled her into a hug. She let out a shaky breath and said "called me Jaz."
To try and cheer her up I said "our names rime.
Blake, Drake, Blake, Drake, Blade, Drade, Blade, Drade.... try saying that ten times fast." she looked up at me and let out a little giggle/laugh. You could barely tell she laughed because it didn't last more than a second. Then she looked in my eyes and touched my cheek. She asked "why are you being so nice to me? Most people would have beaten me but you haven't. Most young male teenagers would have been trying to...do things with me. But you're different. You actually made me laugh and you defended me against that lady... Why?"
This came too soon. I hadn't expected her to ask me this that fast. Agh, I hate talking about it. She deserves to know though. No one except me knows everything that happened.
