Midnight Mansion (Reborn)

Chapter 1 - Watching From A Distance

Raven's POV

I couldn't believe it at first. Me, having a mate to take good care of? I was a powerful young vampire Queen, so I could read my mate's mind easily and use my special ability for special occasions to close doors without even touching them. At the moment, I was watching from a safe distance from a painting studio where my mate was. She was an excellent painter, might I say. She was having a chat with a nice looking woman with the name of Polly, which made me think of the things I could do to her. For example, her being my personal blood bag because she smelt rather good. 

But...my mate smelt even better. Us vampires have a very strong sense of smell and perfect eyes, so we see more clearly than humans, I was hiding in an alleyway across the street, preparing myself to listen in to what my mate was saying. She had a beautiful name as well. Florence. 

I smiled at myself, being careful about my fangs popping out at any second because I was getting peckish. I wanted to return back to my mansion with a new member of my growing household. 

"Bye, bestie! Thank you for painting me!" I heard Polly cheerfully say out loud, making me prepare myself immediately. I didn't want to do it but I had to, I watched Polly walk down the street, making me get into position as I started to follow her. Fuck, my fangs were out. Well done. I licked my lips before I let out a hiss, which got Polly's attention. She stopped and turned around, only for me to go behind her and cover her mouth to prevent her from screaming like a high pitched car alarm. I used my other hand to yank her hair back so that her throat was exposed. I was so sorry for this poor defenceless woman...

I closed my eyes before I sank my fangs into her throat, vanishing at the same time with her and a puff of smoke after my departure. 

A few seconds later, I was sitting on my throne with Polly's unconscious body on my lap, holding her like a baby so that her head was resting on my arm. I didn't taste her, sadly. Not yet. I had to put her in my spell, if she ever decides to wake up. What was she? A model? Was that why my unknowing mate was painting her? I wondered if she was rich, if she really was actually a model. I felt a bit of pain in my chest as Polly started to stir in my arms, beginning to wake up. 

"Wh...Where am I? Flora? Is that you? Am I in hospital? The fuck is this place?" she began to ask a couple of questions before I hesitated to do what I do best...until I started to do it without knowing.

"You will see Flora again. You will not be returning to your job, for now you will be working for me. I am the Queen of Vampires and you are my slave. You will work around the mansion along with your new slave friends who you will meet shortly. When I am hungry, I shall call for you so I can have a nice feed from you. Now, wake up and offer me your blood." I told her in a hypnotic, convincing voice. 

Then without anymore words spoken to me, Polly got comfortable in my lap as she sat up and moved her hair to the side, exposing her neck for me. "Good girl. Stay still." I ordered her before I leaned forward slowly and sank my fangs into her again...

// The book is now officially back from the dead and hopefully better than before as I had a comment about the you know what scenes. That will be later on in the book now. Sorry for deleting it in the first place.
