"You see, you're here as my... my... hm I'm not sure how to put this." Cole was pacing back and forth while I was sitting anxiously on the bed. "Let me just be blunt. You're my personal blood bank."

"B-blood...? Are you going to kill me?" I start to panic.

He chuckles slightly. "That's right, Ciel didn't talk to you." Who is this Ciel guy? "This castle is for Vampires."

What? "You're joking right?" I'm hysterical.

"Don't believe me?" His eyes flash red and he opens his mouth and I see... fangs.

"Those could be fake." I refuse to believe this. "You're just some creep that abducted me when I was on my way home." I'm disgusted. "I want to go home."

"Oh darling, there's no way out." That damn smirk again! "Let me show you how this works, I'm quite hungry."

"I-I'm good.." My breaths are shallow.

"It wasn't a question." He slowly leans towards my neck. "It might pinch at first."

"I don't know if I'm comfortable with this..." I try and push him away. "Isn't this kind of... too affectionate? I mean you don't even know me."

He laughs. "You think I would like you?" Ouch. "You're simply my dinner. You're not even my type, plus you're a human." He rolls his eyes and continues to lean toward me. "It would never work out."

"Ahh.." I feel a slight pinch as his teeth sink into my skin.

"See, it wasn't that bad." He licks the remaining blood that's on me. "You taste amazing by the way. I picked a good one." He heads for the door. Was that a compliment? "You'll be sleeping in that room through that door." He points to a door to his left and then leaves.

This is a dream right? I just passed out, and none of this is really happening, right?

Cole walks into the room and says without looking at me, "Whenever you get hungry, go tell Ciel and he'll lead you to the kitchen."

"If this is a castle for vampires, why do you have a kitchen."

"How dumb can you be." He lightly laughed. "We have to keep our food alive." He looks at me.

"It's not very nice to refer to me as 'your food.'" He's so mean.

"That's what you are to me." He shrugs and sits on his bed.

"I'm going to get some food." I start to storm off but stop, "Um, where can I find Ciel..?"

"Two doors down on the right." He waves me off.

-

I quietly knock on the door that Cole led me to.

"Come in." A soft voice come from the other side.

I open the door to see a girl that seems rather shy. "Um, I'm looking for Ciel?" I notice she's wearing an eyepatch.

"He'll be right back. You can come in."

I slowly step inside of the room. "Are you... like me?" Damn my curiosity.

"You mean human? Yeah, I'm Ciel's." She refers to herself as Ciel's property. Poor girl.

"How long have you been here?"

"Going on 2 years." Wow. Maybe there really is no way out.

"Have you ever tried to escape?" Maybe she's seen the way out, she just got caught..

"Yeah. I'd say you're crazy if you didn't try at least once." She looks at the floor. "It's better not to though. Whenever you get caught... terrible things happen..." What happened to her?

"May I ask you your name?"

"Oh, it's Summer."

"That's a nice name." I give her a small smile. "You should give your name instead of saying you're 'Ciel's' your name is pretty." I try to give her a glimpse of hope.

"Oh, Master Ciel has come back." Her face lit up. I can't tell if she really was excited or she was just acting.

He was very similar to Cole, they must be brothers. Great, another asshole.

"Ah, yes. Riley. I've been meaning to talk to you." My stomach growls.

Awkward.

"I suppose we can take you to eat first." He walks over to Summer, "You can head to your room now, I won't be needing you for the rest of tonight." His voice is very comforting. He seems... nice to her. Maybe I was wrong.

"Follow me." He turns on his heel and walks out of the room.
