Selena's POV

We all sat at the unnecessarily big dining room table. Like seriously -.- who needs this big of a table for 5 people....well vampires .-. Anyway this dinner was taking way too long for me liking and quite frankly I'm getting annoyed with it.

"Can I go home" I mumbled pushing around the meat on my plate. Surprisingly, their chefs actually knew how to cook a steak considering my was perfectly cooked while everyone else's was swimming in a plate of blood. Gross /.\

"No." Dustin said calmly like I had asked him how the weather today. This guy is really pushing my buttons.
"You can't keep me here forever! Sooner or-" My angry ramble was cut of by Dustin's dad.

"Dustin, control your slave." He boomed in a deep voice. So this is the oh so mighty guy Jake and Dustin were talking about. He's not that scary. I could take him in a one on one....ya know....after about 10 years of training cause you see the way my strength is set up.....

"I'm not his fucking slave!" I yelled, annoyance clear in my voice. "My name is Selena Torez. I am a human being and I demand to be treated like one!" I got up and walked out of the dining hall. Who made him the boss of me. I don't even know the guy. And he's really creepy. Like a pedophile or something.

"Selena where are you going?" I hear Dustin's British voice right behind me. Stopping abruptly, I turned around on my heels nearly smashing into him.

"I'm going home! You can't just take me away from everything I know and expect me to be ok with it! Especially if I'm supposed to be a slave to a stupid vampire like you." My voice cracked a few times while I was talking and I could feel the tears welling in my eyes.

"Look, if it were up to me you wouldn't be here at all. But my father is demanding that I have a slave considering we're the royal vampire family" Dustin explained.

"So now you're a royalty? Wow, is it me or is the hallway getting filled up with you're arrogance. Listen, I don't care if your royalty. I don't want to be here with a bunch of psychotic, criminal vampires! I have a life and I fully intend on continuing to live it." I told him. If looks good kill, he's be stone dead on the floor right now.

"Will you just let me explain....please" Dustin pleaded. You could here the desperation in his voice.....his nice, soothing voice. Woah.....what the hell was that??

What's the harm in letting him explain why his stupid brother decided to kidnap.

"Fine, but only because you're begging." I replied after a while. Dustin led the way back to the room I'd woken up in earlier. I collapsed on the bed....what? It's really comfy.

"It's not often you find a 17 year old who acts 5." I looked up at Dustin to see a stupid smirk on his face. It's kinda attractive. I quickly got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Shut up and explain to me why I'm here." I said with a stern voice. He sighed and sat down next to me.

"Fine, pushy," he began, " My father believes that humans should always serve vampires. He thinks that vampires are more superior than humans."

"._. That's it?" I asked. "You're dad a issues with power and superiority? That's what I've been waiting almost 2 hours for?!"

He chuckled and rubbed his neck. "Uh yeah.....but there's more to why you're here"

-.- damn vampires.

"Hey, you don't have to be so offensive." Dustin shouted playfully. I looked at him confused. "Oh yeah I can hear your thoughts"

"So first I get kidnapped -.- and now I have no privacy? Oh the joy" I sarcastically celebrate.

"Ok so why am I here?" I asked him trying to finally get to the whole point of this.

"Welllllllllll.......Jake and I were at the mall, you know trying to be like regular teenagers." I snorted a laugh. He stopped giving me a look saying 'shut up'. "So anyway, I saw you and I was like 'Wow she's gorgeous' and I knew Jake notice but I didn't know he was gonna flipping kidnap you." I couldn't help but blush a little when he said that. I mean come on what would you do if a hot guy called you gorgeous?

"So you had no idea he was gonna take me?" I asked for clarification.

"Nope, not a single clue." Dustin said shaking his had.

"Ok fine, well.....get out." I pointed to the door.

Dustin looked at me with a confused face. "What?" He asked.

"I'm tired and I want to go to bed so get out." I repeated. He chuckled at me and shook his head.

"Hate to break it to you sweetheart, but this is my room. Well our room now I guess." He said.
"OUR room?! Why can't I sleep where all the other slaves sleep?" I complained.

"Because you're my slave so you have to go by what I say." He chuckled again. -.- I'm getting really tired of him and his adorable yet completely annoying chuckle.

"Wait that doesn't even make sense. You're a vampire....you don't sleep." I said confused yet again.

"That is a myth. I may be a vampire but I do need sleep just like you." Dustin sighed.

"Ok well what else is a myth?" I asked, curious to what lies have been told over the years about his species.

"Pretty much everything....except the garlic, sort of. It gives us rashes so of course we'd avoid it." He explained.

"So you can go out in sun and wooded stakes don't kill you?" I questioned.

Dustin started undressing, getting ready for bed. He took off his shirt and I could see his perfectly sculpted abs....wow. I guess being a vampire and being hundreds of years old really gives you the time to work out. I looked at him as his slide under the covers, waiting for him to answer me.

"Yes I can be out during the day and a stake to the heart....who wouldn't that kill, honestly." He said with a smirk on his face.

"-.- Whatever. If this is how the sleeping arrangement is gonna be, stay on your side." I growled at him.

"Haha no promises, I like to cuddle." Dustin said knowing it would annoy me. He turned out the lamp and we both laid down, my back facing his chest.

"Oh and Selena, I don't know if this changes anything, but if it were up to me you wouldn't have to be here right now." Dustin said in a soft voice.

I didn't reply. I heard him sigh them rest his head oh his pillow. After a few minutes I could hear was his snoring and then felt his arm wrap around my waist, pulling me closer to him. Seeing as there was no possible way to get out of his death grip, I relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
