Today is my 18th birthday. When anybody is 18 this means it is the right of passage, that's when our body's are done growing physically. That means today is the day where I get put up for sale. The rest of the kin tell me that it'll probably take a few days before a vampire buys me. Before the shop opens at 8am all of us are in the back room were there is one toilet and we are surrounded by grey cracked concrete walls, there is a barded skylight at the top of our room. The vampire keepers shop is we are born, raised and sold. The other kin tell story's of life used to be like before the vampires took over. Some of the story's I hear that this is how pet shops are too, except they sell puppies, kitties, birds and all sorts of different animals. We aren't animals... are we? The keeper put kids and A select few mothers that have a soul purpose of breeding into the room when the shop is open. At night we are all put in there so we don't make a mess for the keeper.

"Luna." Whispered a familiar female voice

I turn my head around and see Lolo, her kin name is fly. Lolo is a mom to me in a way. I've never met my real parents they got sold after secretly having sex with each other the were in love. It's forbidden for kin to love someone, let alone have sex with them.

"You can't use that name when it so close to opening time. If he hears that he'll....." I hesitated.

"I know. But I needed to get your attention quickly. When you get put up front, stay right up against the back of the cage in the dark. It'll be harder to see you." Lolo pleads to me

"Why must I be hidden?" I asked

"Oh hun.. you're extremely special. Once you leave these walls you'll never come back. I was going to tell you how special you are... I'll wait until we return to the room." Lolo explains

I felt eyes on us so I began to look around. Everyone else is nodding their head in agreement. I feel like they all know something I don't. We heard the shop door open, all the ones that are to go up front line up on the walls, standing. I was too scared to stand up so I stayed seated. The big heavy metal door to are room started to unlock. Everyone was looking and gesturing on me to stand up. I know how powerful the keeper is, as quickly as I could I stood up. Just in time as the door opened. When he stepped into the room our eyes met.

"Oh larva, how wonderful. You don't have to make my job harder." The keeper said in a grungy, sketchy tone.

"— I even got a brand new cage just for you!" He continued and forced a smile my way.

"What do you say now Larva?" He spoke in a demanding tone.

"T-Thank you, keeper." I replied tripping on my words.

He started walking towards me. Not knowing what to do I back up until I felt the ice cold cement wall on my back. He grabbed my check and said,

"You're so well mannered. Good girl. We have a very important guest coming today so make me look good. Okay?"

I nodded in agreement. He backed away and went back to the main door. He started to Signal at the front of the line to leave the room. Lolo was right in front of me, I felt a little safer. Knowing she was near by always gave me a little bit confidence. As soon as the keeper got to Lolo and I he stoped her with his hand.

"You stay in here for today. I don't need you to be making a scene for a very special guest."

"But keeper-"

Before Lolo could finish her sentence the keeper slapped her and pointed for her to go sit back down. No one disobeys the keeper. What he says is our law, us kin have no rights. Lolo looked at me with sadness in her face as she turned around to go sit down. Tears started welling up in our eyes, not knowing if I'll ever see her again. Our eye-contact was broken by the keeper slamming the door right behind me, startling me. He began to lock the door. I knew that this was real now. I had to do this all by myself. I started looking around, admiring all the bright colours and the different textures. My eyes where so wide and in 'aw' that I had to remind myself to blink. I knew this was real but it doesn't feel like it is. Seeing all of these new things makes me want to run out the door, feel the real sun touch my skin, smell the world and everything different type of food. I felt a hand slap the back of my head.

"DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING I SAID?!" The keeper yelled at me.

"No sir, I apologize." I responded shamefully looking at my feet.

"YOU FUCKEN IDIOT!! I'll say this one more time. This is your cage. GET IN IT!"

Without thinking twice I quickly as I could hopped into the cage and sat there at the very back with my lags up to my chest. He slammed the cage door locked it while muttering under his breath. The cage is so much smaller than the room. I can't even sit up straight. I was at eye-level of the vampires and this made me incredibly anxious. I want to go back with Lolo, I want her to tell me story's about life before vampires. The keeper said there was a special guest. When I was in the room I would listen to the conversations he would have on the phone. Apparently vampires that had high social status we're hybrids, mixes of vampires and werewolves. I hope none of those... things are coming in. Now I guess I wait until the shop gets busier.
What felt like hours passing the store hasn't gotten any customers and the keeper gives us our lunch. Today, I put the keeper in a bad mood because he only gave me 6 peas. I sigh and eat what's given to me. I decide to take a nap because there is nothing else to do.

I was awoken by the store bell. The rest of the kin went to the back of the cages. I smelt something sweet, so sweet it made my head feel light. I close my eyes and bring my nose to the metal cage door. I keep taking deep, heavy lungs full of this smell. The world around me just seems to fade away. All of my senses were in captivated by the smell. I felt like I was in a trance. Before I realized it some guy wearing a very clean white shirt with the sleeves rolled up just past his elbows, black pants and a smooth looking belt is right in front of my cage. I realized I was too close to the front so I quickly moved to the back, I made so much noice pushing myself back tha he looked at me. His hair was black and soft, his eyes were the colour of my blood. I noticed I was looking directly into his eyes so I put my knees back to my chest and buried my face into my body.

"This one." Spoke this man, his voice was very soft and almost gentle.

"What a perfect choice! Today is Larva's 18th birthday! Brand new!" The keeper exclaimed in delight.
