11 dull days

Two weeks pass by so quickly, it's amazing how quickly I have adjusted to my new life. I am grateful for Steven the next day as we come in the next hotel. "Alice go order your meal and get a drink before you go to the room, Oh and Alice don't make me tell you tomorrow do it from now on.' Then he hissed at me. "Is that clear." I smile now but not then as I stammered back. "Yes Steven, I will remember to do it very day." My strength had improved greatly but I always order some fruit or a muesli bar to put in my bag.

I smile now as Chloe fussed and complained about the smell of the food. So Carter sent me out to the balcony which was great I would order, gather anything I could read a drink my food and head outside. Where I was left to my own devices I only came in to do the 3 sh'us (Shower, shit and shave.) Once they went out. Well that's a lie I would do an hours or so hard exercise first.

Strength. Strength was what I needed to get away. (Plus money.)  I had kept some from the tips that I was give to pass on to the room service people. Yes I felt guilty for not given it to them but I truly did need it. I was gaining strength every day I was impressed with myself.

I had learnt to read the vampires Carter was hard to read some time I thought he cared then then next he would kill me. So I kept my eyes down and didn't speak, Steven was easy he didn't talk to me nor did he ask anything of me. Candice similar to Steven but she believed I was truly beneath her so just ignored me. Chloe was a whole different ball game she went out of her way to make my life miserable. She would order me to do things for her, if she wasn't happy with the way I did it she would chastise me. Thankfully she didn't hit me but it was Carter who told her not to when she went to one day. He informed her if he found out she had touched me again she would regret it. So I avoided Chloe even tried to anticipate her needs just to make myself quicker. I never did anything unless she asked.

I love outside no one came near me. I love fresh air, the sun the wind it was great. I had learn't to walk quickly and quiety to move from one room to another without drawing their eye. Just staying out of reach. Passive was what they wanted it was what they got Calm Passive Ha if only they knew. I had mastered hiding my emotions I was the worlds best wall flower.

Carter fed every second day but for the past 3 days now it was every day. He would call me into the bedroom close the door. I would sit on the edge of the bed he would sit beside me. Carter no longer asked me if I was alright or question me. I never answered. OK I paid for it one day a he savagely bit me and drunk a bit to much. I recovered quickly. The flutter of butterflies and the rapid beat of my heart gave me away that I was effected by him. Today he smiled at me before kissing my neck before sinking his fangs into my neck. Today he held my waist drawing me against his body more. His hand holding my neck he was becoming more touche in the past few day. Carter pressed me tight to him. I don't know if he wonted a reaction from me, but I just stayed limp in his arms. He stopped licked the the bite mark then kissed my neck slowly blowing air across the site. I cant help but shiver in his arms.

Carter lingered next to my neck breathing in my scent. I cant help but sigh he stop to look at me but I don't meet his gaze. He stands I get up and move to the bathroom. 'Alice.' Carter says quietly I pause at the door but do not turn around. The other door closes he's gone. I know I am on my own now for the night.

I wash my hands in the sink as the door opens I look up  Chloe is staring back at me. Before I could move her hand is wraped in my hair yanking my head back painfully. I cant help but cry out I know she can smell my fear. I try to calm myself. Chloe snarls in my ear. 'You filthy thing, I have been watching you trying to steel Carter from me. You think I don't notice how he watches you.' She pulls my head back harder tears well up in my eyes but don't spill. 'I don't know how your making your scent stronger but I worn you stop it. You reek like your in heat.'

Chloe hisses pulling me to my knees tears stream down my checks. 'You better behave or else I will get you on my own again but next time you wont walk away.' She growls out shaking my head by my hair.

'Chloe did you find it?' Carter calls she jumps back releasing me drawing a line across her throat. Telling me she will kill me. I use the sink to pull myself up. Carter comes to the door taking in the scene Chloe moves to his side. Carters watches me through the mirror, I drop my gaze. I stand still not moving.

'Come on Carter I'm finished here.' Chloe took his hand pulling him out the door. Carter was last to leave the room saying nothing doing nothing. I slid down to the floor and cried possitive half my hair was gone.
