The Vampire's Slave

Five

Whatever drug Eric gave me, really knocked me out. I rub my temples, feeling a migraine coming. My body still felt sluggish, nevertheless I managed to sit up.

I glanced around me. We we're on small plane. Probably private.

By the sound of the loud engine, we were already in the air.

I was sitting by a window and glanced out. All I could see were clouds.

" She's awake," I hear someone say.

I turn in the direction of the voice. Two young women sat in front of me. They both wore the same dress as me.

The one with short black hair with streaks of purple spoke first.

" What's your name? I'm Zoey this is Mia," she says pointing to the brown haired girl beside her.

Zoey looked completely different than Mia. She had more of edgy look while Mia had more of an angelic with her long, brown hair and soft brown eyes.

Both women looked around my age, twenty, and they were both staring at me like I was coolest thing they'd ever seen.

It made me nervous.

" I'm Violet," I answered.

" Cool name," Zoey replied.

" Uh, thanks."

Mia chimed in, " I haven't seen you around before. You're new here aren't you?"

" Yea," I say shyly. I was still a little nervous. I wasn't good at human interaction. I mostly just kept to myself. It's easier that way, so no one would get hurt.

I tuck a strand of loose blonde hair behind my ear. Something I usually did when I was nervous.

Mia could tell I was apprehensive. " Sorry if we make you nervous. We don't see many new faces around here."

" Actually, none at all. It's been awhile since Master chosen another slave," Zoey confessed.

This was news to me.

" I thought your Master chose a new slave every year," I say puzzled.

Zoey crystal blue eyes went soft. " He did until the accident."

" Accident?" I repeated.

" Yea, it happened a few years back. Her name was Rose. She Master favorite slave. One night, Master took it to far with her and she...,"

" That's enough, Zoey. You'll scare her," Mia interrupted.

Zoey went quiet and glanced at Mia. They exchanged silent knowing looks before Mia turned to me. Her brown eyes soft.

" Don't worry, Master Alexander won't hurt you," she says.

" Okay," I say but I didn't believe her and wasn't sure if she believed herself.

Silence fell upon us.

I was staring out the window when a blonde stewardess came by. She was dressed in a blue uniform.

" Would like something to drink? Perhaps some water?" she asked me.

" Water please," I say, my mouth feeling dry.

I watched her pour water into a plastic cup before handing it to me. I brought the cup to my lips and downed the water.

She asked Mia and Zoey did they want some too. They both said yes and she poured them each a cup. Before she left I asked her for a refill and how much longer will it be.

" It shouldn't be much longer now. About 15 minutes. Here you go," she says handing me back the cup and left.

" I can't wait to see Master Alexander. This year I hope he picks me to be his royal slave," Mia says, staring longingly out the window.

I could tell she really had it out for him. She probably been here so long that she was brainwashed. Zoey as well.

Which makes me ask the question, " How long have you two been here?"

Mia looked at me with a smile on her pretty face. " I've been with Master Alexander for five years and Zoey has been with him for three."

No wonder she was head over heels for him.

" That's a long time. In that time, did he ever make you his royal slave?" I asked.

Suddenly, Mia face turned dark. " No but he will this year. He promised me."

Promises meant nothing to men. Especially vampires. I felt sorry for her. Believing in the words of a monster who is incapable of feeling.

Silence fell upon us again. Mia stared down the aisle while Zoey stared out the window with a haunting look in her eyes.

I bet Alexander promised her too.
