A Vampires Slave

Chapter 10

Iris's pov

I open my eyes and see red.

"She's awake!"

Mary? "What–"

"Don't say anything, your voice is weak." I hear Mary sigh as I try to focus on her. I give her a weak smile as someone else enters the room.

"Thank you Mary." I feel Mary hug me before she leaves.

"Claude.." I whisper, knowing exactly who was in the room. He lets out a small chuckle before the Bed dips down.

"Are you better? You have been asleep for three days." Claude sighs, he reaches out and lays his hand softly on my thigh.

"Three days? What happened!" I state shooting out of bed. I feel my head begin to spin as my body felt heavy.

"Do not over exert yourself. Lay back down." Claude firmly states. I shoot him an annoyed glare before getting out of bed. "Do you not listen?" He growls.

I slowly stand up and smirk. "Why do you think I have been at the shelter more than any human. No vampire has chosen to take me out of misery." I calmly state before reaching out for the door handle. Claude quickly appears in front of me.

My heart instantly stops as I stare up at his blood red eyes. The dug deep into me like I was a piece of paper. I try to remove my eyes but I was glued to them. I can feel the heat radiating off of him wrapping around me like a blanket. My heart rate speeds up as my name leaves his lips.

"Iris, please."

The way my name rolled of his tongue caused my core to heat up. Why was I acting like this, he's nothing but a leach.

I close my eyes and shake my head. "Regardless of what you say I will not listen this time, I have starved myself, been beaten, been raped and have been burned, and on the brink of death and brought back. do as you wish but I don't want to be in this room anymore."

I push him out of the way and walk out the room, I had no time for his mind games. I needed to shower and get to my lessons. I'd rather be bored an educated and prove that I am a loyal pet to those fucking pigs rather than dead.

I spent hours being yelled at, pushed and shoved and growled at. The lessons were tiresome.

"Looks like someone had a rough day." I look behind me and smile.

"You have no idea, is that tea?" I ask, Mary nods and has the cup to me. I take a small sip and moan. "This is just what I needed."

"I'm glad. Are we still on for a movie night? Mark is away tonight and Claude is busy with meetings." Mary grins.

"Well after all these lessons, that is definitely a yes." I wink. She gives me a huge grin before hugging me. My room and two doors down from the west wing library. See you at 6." Mary grins.

I nod my head and continue to Claude's office. He asked to see me during my dancing lessons, but I told Jessica it would have to wait. I hadn't seen Claude for days since the day I woke up. I didn't need him around me while I coped with everything that had happened.

I stop in front of his office as I take in a deep breath. I open the door and sigh. He wasn't here. I walk in and take a seat by his desk like normal. I look up and see him standing in the door.

He closes the door behind him and takes a seat behind his desk. "Tell me why, you called me here." I state not waiting for him to speak.

"I have my reasons. How was your lessons?" He ask. I roll my eyes and give him the silent treatment.

"That doesn't work on me. Tell me how your day was. I have not seen you in days." He chuckles looking up at me. My face heats up as his eyes stare into mine forcing me to look the other direction. What the hell is wrong with me?

"It was fine." I mumble looking out the window, the sun had already went away, giving way to the moonlight.

"I see." He states. I turn around to look at him but he's already in front of me. He looks down at me and a stone expression. "I must ask you something." He states. I frown at him for a moment before nodding.

"What is it?"

He looks down at his feet before looking up at me. "May i mark you."
