I'm Being Stalked By A Ghost & Hunted By A Vampire

Part Fifty-Three

It's been almost a month since you've been in Alterous 'home.' You have become used to the daily routine that you must follow. You awake every evening to that girl whose name you still do not know.

You've just named her Miss since it's easier to call her Miss then hey girl. She doesn't mind the name anyways.

You used to have problems with waking in the evening but are finding it easier and easier each night. Alterous cannot go out in the sun so you have become nocturnal.

She gets you ready for the day in the same blue dress and white apron that seems to become magically cleaned after your encounters with Alterous. His rules are the females are to wear dresses, nothing but dresses. It may make working hard but at least the dress is modest, as it passes your knees.

You head up to have an evening breakfast, which is ever changing from cereal to fruits. Alterous is always waiting at the table with his black gleaming eyes that seem to be darkening as the days go by.

He always waits for you to finish so he can feed. He seems to need blood more often than the other vampire you've grown accustomed to.

You've learnt the hard way to just take it, it goes by faster if you do not protest. You tend to only see him in the evening, and right at dawn. Throughout the day, he generally shows up if he has a concern or question.

He is sadistic and the things he makes Miss do are terrible. You are thankful that you are not completely under his control as an accessory but find since you have shared blood a strange bond has formed.

You cannot explain it, but you know where he is and sometimes what he's doing. He's dark, dangerous, and arduous person, completely void of empathy. It scares you. You help Miss around the mansion, cleaning whenever you can.

You are mostly stuck around Alterous' living quarters. You assume he just wants to have you close by to keep an eye on. He doesn't bite Miss but has no problem taking a bite out of you.

Once the day is through you return to your bedroom, which has been upgraded to an actual twin bed, with just that.

It's a terribly small room with no windows but at least it's out of the basement. It kind of reminded you of a broom closet or at least a pantry. There is only room for your bed, and hardly enough space to walk around the room.

You haven't seen or heard from anyone from Avents Estate, not even Eire has made an appearance. You remember the discussion you had in Rivers bathroom and how he was always near. You hope that he is here now.

You just finished breakfast in the large room with the fireplace. It's your job to tend to the fire and make sure it's at an appropriate temperature.

You find the task dull but things could be a lot worse. You slid your chair out and rise to put more wood into the fire, but are stopped when a hand clamps around your neck, pulling you back. You are unsurprised by this behaviour knowing it is only Alterous.

"No longer scared?" he presses his lips playfully to your neck. "No" you whisper as he makes a 'tisk' sound as your eyes widen in shock.

You mentally scorn yourself for not remembering his demand, "No, master." You grit out, feeling stupid for having to refer to him in such a degrading way. You feel him grin against your neck, "You should be." He bites hard into your neck; you flinch but try to remain still.

He enjoys inflicting pain so the best thing to do is not give in. He will lose interest and be on his way to do whatever it is he does when he isn't tormenting you.
He takes as much blood as he pleases and pulls away, spinning you to face him. "You're coming along nicely." His smirk makes his demeanor look even more monstrous if possible.
