Please if you want to understand her or him or any of us, you have to approach this story with an open mind. You can't lay the blame on any of them. It wasn't their faults. I...I was the one who got out of hand. It was my mistakes that led to the Fall of Ortus and the rise of the Venatores and the war that brought us to this...mess. Just trust me. Maybe I wasn't the one doing the killing or making the plans, but I promise no one is more of a monster than me. I could have stopped everything from happening. I should have stopped it, but I was so young.
How was I supposed to know?
I'm sorry. I should stop crying and get on with it. Every minute we sit here another five, maybe even ten people die. They're killing people, you know that. Not even just the wizards and witches, but anyone who even disagrees with their idea of eradication. I know that they're the reason that so much pain has happened, but so what? No one's any better. People will continue to suffer even if the wizards lose the war. Nothing will change. Power will shift. Sure, but the
same problems will continue.
Focus.
Sorry, that was for me, not you. I have that habit. Comes with the tricks, I guess.
Well, let's begin shall we? And I'll try to fill in the blanks for you and explain what things are, since you aren't really from here. My mind may work a bit wildly, but please be patient. Your patience is something I need in order for me to explain.
Just please judge them with caution. I loved all of them. Don't throw around the word bad or good before you know all of the details because those two words can become a bit interchangeable depending on whose side you decide to take. And believe me, you won't remain impartial. Even from your distance from them, I'm sure you'll find that you can often become attached to people you don't know and we'll be delving into the most beautiful part of a person: the mind.

Vampire's Pet
The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacakeComplete
