When I arrive to the dining hall, Carter is sitting with the other guys at the dinner table talking in low tones amongst themselves. "Look who finally decided to join us," Carter says with a serious face, not looking amused at all.
"I apologize, Master Carter," I cast my eyes towards the floor in submission, not only submission but also out of fear. Carter scared the shit out of me when he gets mad.
"Please have a seat. Don't let that happen again, do you understand, pet?" Carter has a pleased smile on his face when he says this, probably pleased I called him Master Carter. Damn him!
"I understand, Master Carter," I walk towards the seat in the middle of Ollie and Alan and plop down not looking into anybody's eyes. Ollie pats my back and I look up at him, he smiles and gestures me to eat my food that I didn't notice was in front of me. I pick up my fork and stab a piece of chicken onto it and take a bite.
Carter clears his throat, probably to get Ollie's attention, and speaks, "Pet, I want you to be ready tomorrow when before 12. We are having a party, that everyone will be attending. Where something.......nicer than what you are wearing," I can here the smirk in his voice. Asshole.
"Yes, Master Carter," I emphasize the word master because he is really beginning to piss me off with his remake he made about the dress that I am wearing. I can't what to escape this hellhole, maybe I can tomorrow during the party when none of the guys are around.
"Damon, please take the pet up to her room. I don't want to see her for the rest of the evening," I look up to see Carter wave a dismissive hand to Damon. What the fuck did I do? Damon gets out of his chair that is in front of me and walks in my direction. I will not be going up to my room, not under this roof of fucking vampires. When Damon grabs my arm, I get out of my chair, as if willingly, and walk beside Damon. When we get out of the dining hall, I hit him in the balls and make a run toward the door.
"You bitch!" I hear Damon call for the other guys and starts following me out the door and onto the yard. Fuck all you assholes, I will not be your captive.
"Tessa, please stop,"I hear Ollie yell after me, but I do not stop, I keep running until I am at the end of the driveway and cross the street into the woods. I run past tree after tree looking for anywhere I can hide. I see a tree not far that is hallowed out, I can hide there until they stop looking. I run towards the tree and climb inside and duck down so they won't see the top of my head. "Tessa, we know you are out here. I can smell you blood," that of course is Carter trying act like nothing is wrong about this situation. I look down at my legs to find my feet bleeding and dirt all over them. Fuck.
I hear footsteps beside the tree I am in, so I hold my breath and duck down some more trying my hardest not to make any noises that the person beside the tree can here. "Tess, we don't want to hurt you. Please just come out." called out Tyson. Tyson was the nicest vampire that was in the house, I feel bad because he was becoming my friend.
"Tyson, over here," I whisper yell out to him. Please be alone, away from all the other guys.
"Tessa? Where are you?" He whisper yells back at me.
"I'm in the hallow tree," I peck up and see Tyson standing in the entrance of the hallow tree.
Tyson climbs into the tree with me and sits down beside me, "Tess, why did you run?" He pushes some of the hair in my face behind my ear.
"I don't want to be here, Tyson. I don't want to be a blood slave, I just don't want to die like that or die at 20 years old," I start crying quietly and put your hands on my face to hide my tears.
"I know you don't want this, but it might be best for you to return so Carter doesn't hurt you worse than he already is," Tyson says with guilt in his voice, almost as if he feels sorry for me. Yeah right, like he knows what I am going through.
"Fine, but if I die, I will fucking haunt you, mister," I say trying to lighten up the mood, but I didn't have a smile on my face or even laugh at my comment. Tyson lifts me out of the tree and starts walking towards the mansion. When we return inside of the dining hall, Carter is sitting in his chair he was previously sitting in with a scowl on his lips. Fuck. I'm going to die today.
"Send her down into the basement for her punishment. No water or any meals for two days," he lifts his head as in a dismissive move and goes back to eating his meal.
Tyson walks my down into the basement and in a small room that is very dark and cold. "Tyson, please don't leave me down here, please. I will be a good, little blood slave. Just please don't leave me down here." I say as he puts me down on the little mattress on the floor and walks towards the door.
"I am sorry, Tess. But those were orders," he says shutting the door to the room and walking up the stair to the dining hall. What am I going to do? Fuck all of them, even Tyson, who I thought was my friend here.
