Difficult Master (ON HOLD TO EDIT)

Chapter 5

Ruby's POV

I woke up to a twelve or maybe thirteen year old girl shaking me frantically.

"Wake up wake up! You can't stay sleeping! Divano will be here any minute!"

I scratched my head of scrambled hair and tried to readjust my hazy sight.

"I'm awake. Please stop shaking me" My voice still hoarse and my eyebrows knotted in annoyance.

She sighed and tried to pull me from my bed. "I'm sorry but if you don't get ready, I will get punished for it. Now please move!"

"Okay okay"

~~~

I was finally sitting on the floor next to my master staring at my bland breakfast. He was sitting all high and mighty on his chair chatting through with other vampires.

I finally learnt of the little girl's name and worry. Cici was one of the three residence pets. Apparently the lowest rank of pets.

Residence pets didn't have specific masters. They were there at the disposal of all of the residents, staff, and guests.

Cici turned out to be sixteen years old, but I guess it was her petite frame that made her look way younger.

Looking back at my plate I cursed under my breath. Is this a breakfast coming from the kitchen of a true bloods' residence? I get the whole iron-rich menu but a plate of boiled beans and raisins on the side is not the way to go.

There was a tug on my leash and I instantly felt the glare of my master bore through my flesh like acid. I swallowed the lump in my throat.

Do I look? It didn't seem right.

What does a tug mean? Smile? Look at me? Sit differently?

I was starting to get nervous and another quick tug brought me back to reality.

"Eat."

yes food... Quickly I began eating my untouched breakfast.

Once I was done with my plate, I heard the voice of a graceful female vampire speak.

"I'm waking her majesty, Queen Pauline"

Gasps and whispers followed. Master Lorcan on the other hand looked very calm and collected.

"Lady Isabel, what makes you think you can wake her majesty seventy years before her rightful awakening" said another vampire.

"I had a vision and his majesty, King Adrian knows"

More gasps and whispers followed.

I didn't know vampires had visions. Weren't they supposed to be just strong immortal blood-sucking night crawlers.

"Lord Loracn, you seem too calm. Do you have anything you would like to share?" said the male vampire sitting next to master Lorcan.

"What does it matter? No one has ever beaten Queen Pauline. Whether woken up on time, as usual, or a hundred years earlier, makes no difference."

Awakening? Beating?

I am missing out on something and for the first time in my life I had the desire to look for answers.

I am not the one to pry for answers and I would rather stay under a rock if it means living for another day.

This time it's different. I can feel it.

I needed answers and there was one person who could give them to me.

I was looking left and right until I finally saw her from across. Ana's head was resting on a man's thigh. He was patting her head and twirling her hair with his fingers.

Her eyes were shut and I could see a faint smile on her face. She really did enjoy the company of this man, which I'm presuming was her precious Alec.

I guess it would have to wait until we were put back in our room...no correction, livestock store room.

Another tug at my leash and I was standing on my feet.

"Ruby, we will be visiting some important friends and you will be on your best behaviour right?"

"Yes master"

Master Lorcan escorted me back to the pets' room where one of the residence pets quickly made me change into something fit for an outing I suppose.

Cici brushed my long hair and changed my collar to a diamond studded one with a large diamond hanging from it.

She made me change into a satin cream tight dress that hugged my curves like a second skin. I was glad when she handed me a simple pair of short ankle strap heels. The last thing I want is to wobble my way around in very high heels.

I could barely breath in the dress but I wasn't going to deny how beautiful the dress made me feel.

With a nod of approval master Lorcan walked ahead of me to the car. I was surprised when he didn't attach a leash to my collar.

Was he testing me?

Even if I wanted to make a run, the dress was too restricting.

I took a deep breath and followed him silently to the car.

The road to the destination felt like forever. I noticed master Lorcan kept taking quick glances from the side.

Trust me sir, I am not jumping out of a speeding car.

Once we reached, I stayed in my seat.

Do I get out of the car on my own? Do I let myself out from his side? Will the driver open the door for me?

"Ruby! Out!"

Ow yes option four, get dragged out from his side. I quickly balanced myself once out and straightened my dress.

"Lord Lorcan welcome, please follow me, his highness prince John is waiting for you in the study."

By the looks of it, he was probably this residence's Divano...

"My pet?"

"yes, she will be guided to the pets' playroom" He then turned his head and called out to a tall and gorgeous woman who also had a collar. "Jessie dear, please take.."

"Ruby" filled in master Lorcan.

"Please take Ruby to the playroom"

"Yes master Hector"

Guess their Divano is called Hector. I guess by the size of their villa, no scratch that, castle, they were also true bloods.

Jessie looked at me with the sweetest smile and extended her hand. I looked at master Lorcan and he gave me an approving nod.

She instantly took my hand and walked with purpose to the so-called pets' playroom.

What the hell is a pets' playroom anyway?
