His Slave, His World

My work cut out for me...

>Damian's POV< 

I decided to make her soup this time...chicken soup. Well it was in the fridge...the slaves that work in the kitchen always keep food prepared in the fridge. JUst heat it up and go. So I put her bowl of soup on a tray and got her a glass of juice..hopefully she likes grape juice. I can't wait to get back up to my room and look at her big bright eyes again. I'm already addicted to seeing those eyes. And to think that stupid man has scared her from ever really looking at me. Just then I hear footstems coming my way I turn and...oh speak of the devil...

"James.." I hiss..he puts his hands up palms out showing he means no harm..

"Highness..I..What I did...she deserved it the little rat. She refused to listen.."

At this I loose it. No one will talk about my Crystal like that!!! She never deserves to feel pain or fear and now she does because of him!!!!! 

I grab him by the throat and lift him about a foot off the ground and pin him to a wall..supporting him by my hand wrapped around his throat. "James you listen and you listen well. That Little girl you hurt is my SOULMATE!!!!!  What you have done is inexcusable and will not be tolerated!" 

his eyes go wide and he stares at me fear racing across his face.."Highness...had I known I never would have.." 

"YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!"  at that I tear into his neck blood splattering my face and chest and I let him drop not dead but deffietly hurting. "do not go near her again. understood?" I hiss. 

"Y-yes your highness..." 

I turn on my heal and grab my angels food and walk to my room. I gently open the door and enter the room expecting to find her on the bed..but its empty.  

"Crystal...little one? where are you??" I ask in the most gentle voice I can muster..

I set her tray down and look around. where could she have gone?

I hear a small whimper and my head snaps in the direction it came from..the closet? I walk quietly over the closet and stand right outside the door 

"Crystal. its ok to come out..Your save. I wont hurt you.." I say through the door. she whimpers again..I sigh and open the door slowly. only to see her scoot farther into the corner huddled on the floor, her knees drawn protectivly against her chest her arms around her legs and her eyes wide and staring at my face..she begins to shake and whimper again..

"little one? what are you doing?" 

>Crystal's POV< 

I woke up in his bed again..he isnt here..maybe I can get away.

Everytime I move my back protests..I am shaking with fear..what will happen if I get caught..Maybe they will just kill me...I slowly and as quietly as I can go to the door and crack it open  

"may I help you maam?"

Its that man from before guarding the door again..I yelp and close the door fast..hopeing he wont hurt for that I quickly look around the room for somewhere to hide..the closet..I move to the back of the closet and sit in the corner..listening..

some time later I here the Vampire come back..my...uhmm..owner?.. he calls for me and I whimper. I just know he will hurt me when he finds me...

he opens the closet door..SHit he found me!!! I scoot to the back and start to shake from fear again..uncousious tears streaming down my face, hot against my cold flesh..I glance up at him..he has blood all over him..he killed someone...hes going to kill me next...

>Damian's POV< 

I stare at her for a moment, her big eyes never leaving my face..transfixed on something..Her body shaking violently and her tears streaming down her cheeck..I can't help but frown at this. I reach my arm out to her and she flinches back whimpering loudly and forcing herself against the wall, crying out in pain as her injured back makes contact. 

"little one..what??" i whisper and there is a knock on the door..

the guard sticks his head in..."highness if I may have a moment..?" 

I glare at him and glance back at my angel..still staring at me wide eyed and crying..I sigh and stand up..she flinches at this too..curious..

I walk out into the hall 

"Sir..uhmm...you've blood all over you..that may be the problem.." the guard whispers..

SHIT!! I forgot about the blood!!! stupid me!!! "thank you.." I rush back into the room and into the bathroom. stipping the shirt off and washing my face as fast as possible..and this is fast concidering im a vampire..throw on another shirt then kneel down at the entrance of the closet..she is still against the wall crying...sobs now wracking her small fraim..her heart pounding in her chest..oh what have I done? 

"little one? please look at me.." I whisper just loud enough for her to hear..she fliches but timidly looks up I give her a small smile..hiding my fangs from her..my soulmate is terrified of me..this makes my chest ache and I reach out to her..wanting to comfort her but knowing she has to come to me..

She flinches away from my outreached hand and cries out as her back smarts against the movement. 

i sigh but keep my hand outstretched for her. "come on little one..I promise I will not harm you..I'm sorry I scared you I was careless..please come out..I've brought you food..please?" I say with the softest voice I have ever used..

She looks up at me and very timidly and slowly crawls toward me..my fingers twitch and she flinches back..she really is terrified.. "come on little one..I will not harm you..your cold..come back to the bed..eat your soup.." she licks her licks and I know she must be starving. I give her a small smile and she crawls to sit right in front of me..I very slowly move my hand to carress her hair and she flinches when I touch her then settles down as I smooth her hair..I sit there in front of her smoothing her hair down as I listen to her heart rate slow..She is staring at her hands in her lap.. 

"Crystal..it is ok to look at me. No one is going to hurt you ok?" 

she glances up at me and back down..Well she does have a right to be afraid..i sigh and stand slowly offering her my hand to help her up..

she stairs at my outstreatched hand but does not move..I smile down at her "its ok..just going to help you up..go ahead.." 

she bites her lip in the most adorable way..I sigh and wait a couple more minutes then she slowly and very shakily places her small hand in mine..warm tingles shoot up my arm at the contact and evidentally hers too because she gasps and yanks her hand back backing away. 

"hey..hey..its ok.." 

she stares up at me..then my hand then back up at me.. I give her what I hope is a warm smile and extend my hand to her..she takes it again and I help her up then lead her to the bed..gently propping her back up against the headboard with pillows and setting the tray on her blanket covered legs..she stares at is quizzically..

"its chicken soup..do you like chicken soup??" I ask hopefully..

she looks up and nods at me then stares back at the food licking her small perfect lips..oh how I wish I could just kiss you now..I gently sit on the edge of the bed by her feet. 

"It's ok..eat it..I know your hungry." 

it took no more than that and she slowly and timidly ate cleaning her bowl and yawning..she was just too adorable..I smiled at her 

"good girl.." I smiled at her and she looked up at me timidly..still scared..but her eyelids where drooping..no doubt still exhausted..

I stood and walked over to the closet reaching in the top and produced a plush purple teddy bear.. 

"it used to be my sisters..would you like him to stay with you? to keep him safe while I am away?" I ask gently,..

she gives a small nod..looking for any form of comfort I gently place the bear on the bed and she reaches out and hugs it to her. making me smile..so cute and innocent..yes I was blessed with a lovely mate..although a timid one..but i have James to thank for that. I tucked her in and sat in a chair across the room waiting for her breath to even out before i gently kissed her forhead.

"I shall not be long my little Crystal.."
