A Vampires Slave

Chapter 13

Iris's pov

I sit on Mary's bed, my body trembling as I stare at my blood soaked hands.  Why would he do this to me? Why the hell did I let myself trust him.

I hold back the tears in my eyes as Mary aproches me. "Come sweetie, lets get you cleaned up. Let's have a little relaxing night. How does that sound?" Mary ask, speaking to me as if she were tying to calm down a crying toddler.

I brush her hand off me and shake my head. "don't give me pity, I don't want it. I just want to shower and get back to my work." I coldly state walking out of her room. I walk down the halls till I reach my room.

I walk inside and to my amusement I find a tray or chocolate and my favorite fruits laying on my bed. I all over to them and smile before seeing the note. I grab it and open it. I glare st the writing as anger coursed through me.

   "I'm at deeply sorry, my dear Iris. I never meant you any harm and I hope you know this. I will do anything to remain within your good graces. I brought you this in hopes of showing you I am not what you saw. I am far more than the monster you so deeply hate.

   If you are willing to speak with me, please meet me in the library. I hope to see you there.

  Love,
Claude."

I let the note fall from my hand and walk to the bathroom. I small gleam of hope hit me. I stood there for a moment. Why should I feel hope? He was a monster, I knew his kind. All they did was trick those below them. Use them to their every wish until their board.

I clench my fist balling up the anger I was holding in. I will talk to him. I will tell him how I feel, and I will no longer come to his every beckoning call. I quickly shower and pull my wet hair into a bun as I grab a sheet black dress and the shortest black heels I could find before making my way to the library.

If he's not there I'm going to shoot him.

I swing the large oak wood doors open and find Claude standing by the window looking down at the gardens. "I'm happy you came." He states looking back at me, his eyes found mine for a moment I swear I saw regret before he shift his gaze to the floor.

"What do you want? Want to drain the rest of my blood," I tilt my head to the side. "Go ahead, I'm yours you ass."

He looks at me and shakes his heads "I didn't mean-"

"Didn't mean what? To stick fear into me? To drain a good amount of blood from me, or is it so you could show me the real you." I state, tears threatened to spill as he shook. His hands balled into fist as he stared at me. Regret hovered in his eyes as he took a step towards me.

"Stop, now iris. You have spent plenty of nights with me, countless hours in my office, and many dinner to know that is no longer me. I would never hurt you, nor would I ever want to betray your trust." He pauses for a moment before finding my eyes. "I can't bare the thought of you hating me, Iris,"

I stare at him for a moment I'm completely dumbfounded. I shake my head as I go to turn around. I let the tears fall as I break his gaze. "I'm sorry but you've-"

I feel him grab my wrist and pull me into him. He places his hand on the back of my head as his lips brush against mine. "Iris, please.." he whispers. My heart felt like it was going to explode as his lips pressed against mine. It was hungry, full of want and passion. He placed one hand on my waist and pulled me closer as his tongue slipped into my mouth.

A small moan escaped my lips as I gave into the kiss, it was blissful. My body ached for it as our lips parted, both of us breathless. "Just let me prove myself." He finally breathes, his eyes staring deep into mine as he brushed his thumb over my cheek, wiping away my fresh tears.

I look down for a moment before giving in. For the first time in all my years as a slave, I found myself falling for the thing I hated most.
