"Evening, Lord Levi." She stood from her bow. Lord Levi huh...
He waved her off and passed her his black suit jacket. I watched the interaction both seemed cold and stoic. She quickly took it and walked off, I assume to hang it somewhere.
"Dinner will be shortly, Sir. I see you've finally bought something acquiring your taste." She glanced over to me, still no expression washing over her face, soon looking back to him. I swallowed harshly and tried to calm my ever growing nerves, finally bought something? I assumed there were going to be others, speaking of that where are they? The house was just as empty as I had guessed, only in sight was this one raven haired maid and some noise from the kitchen, I assumed chefs.
"Hm." He waved her off once more and started walking up a staircase, stopping half way and casting a glance to me.
"Take her to the room." The maid nodded, picking up the chain that now laid on the ground and following it to my neck, I flinched and closed my eyes tightly, whats the room... Click. I felt a weight off my shoulders as she removed the chain from me. My mouth opened slightly in shock as she walked off.
"This way." She muttered. I followed suit as she took me through the labyrinth of a house, the house was quite bare, only a few decorations like vases and some sculptures were alined along the walls. She shortly came to a stop and opened a brown mahogany door for me, allowing me to enter. This isn't as morbid as I was thinking.... 'The Room' was what seemed to be a simple sleeping quarters. He made it sound like I was going to be tortured... a black and white single bed was tucked away in the corner, a black closet in the other and a lamp, bare but better than what I was expecting nonetheless.
"Please shower, change and knock on the door once you are ready." she pushed me inside a little and shut the door behind me. Well I wasn't expecting this, I took my time to embrace the new room I assumed I'd being staying in, I quickly rid myself of the lingerie I'd been given at the auction house and fumbled around with the shower, taking a little time to soak and really take it all in for what little time I had left in this world. The shower was nice, warm and made my nerves calm a lot more than earlier.
I stepped out after my shower and quickly dried myself off In hopes I wasn't taking too long than I should have. I walked over to the bed and scowled at my new outfit, I think I honestly would've kept with the other one. It was black and very lacy, cute but still utterly revealing.
I sighed and brushed my hair, drying it and straightening/curling it to the way I thought would suit. Then reluctantly getting changed into my new lingerie.
I stared at myself in the mirror and scowled once more, then walking over to the huge door and knocking on It lightly. The maid quickly opened it and looked me up and down, she moved a strand of my hair into place and scuttled off quickly. I take it I'm meant to be following her then. She took me back down the corridor and knocked on another similar door to mine.
"Master she's ready." She opened the door slightly and lead me in, she bowed lightly and then left me in the middle of the room with him before leaving herself.
"Here pet." I walked over slowly, the nerves returning this time again. I stood next to him behind his desk, he paid no mind to me until he finished what I could see as some paperwork, sighing and then looking up to me. His eyes were still that cold grey from before, they looked deep into my soul and managed to scare me shitless.
He stood from his chair, I hadn't realise how tall he was still as a shorter vampire, they were always naturally taller then us humans, he stood around 6' against my 5'2 height, most vampires being around 6'3 even the women were tall, slender and slim very much model worthy.
He reached his hands for my neck, I assume to feed off me, I flinch and try to step back before hearing a familiar click of the collar again.
"Tch such an ugly colour for a skin tone like yours..." He assessed my neck and the damage of the tightness of the collar from the auctioneers. He quickly reached into a drawer of his desk and pulled out a luxury looking leather black one with fur on the inside to keep it from harming my skin, it had two loops at the front for what I assumed were a leash. Proving my point he also attached a more fashionable looking chain and leather leash that wasn't nearly as heavy looking.
"Hm, better." He studied my face as his hand took under my chin, moving it around to have a look at my features, especially my neck.
'AB-... what a pleasure you shall be...tch." He dropped my chin and sat back down, I took a quick and needed breather from holding my breath for so long without even realising it. I stood still in. my place and continued to stare at the ground.
"I'll set a few house rules for now, it's obvious you're new to the scene, tch, and I won't be as remorseful as some other vampires." He cast a glance my way and took the black leather handle of my leash and tugged me closer.
"You, as my pet, shall refer to me as Master or Sir, for reference you will hear me be called Lord, Lord Levi and or even Lord Ackerman." I nodded.
"I don't expect any bad behaviour, snarky remarks or running away. I trust you know the punishment for those and I'm not the kind of man for said things." He pulled me by my chain closer to him again.
"And finally you shall do as I say, my word is law and you live for sole reason of that." I gulped once again and nodded still, he pulled me into his lap and I fell into it abruptly. Once again he took my chin into his fingers, staring into my (e/c) eyes, I was looking up at him through my lashes.
"Now, I trust that you'll be well behaved hm?" He whispered huskily into my ear. I nodded very quickly, still embarrassed at the outfit I was wearing and the fact that I was in a vampires lap. He shuffled me off and laid out a black pillow with some sliver tassels attached to the corner and placed it just next to his desk, eyeing for me to sit on it. I did as what I thought was intended a sat down on it with my legs folded underneath me, I looked back up at him to see if I did as I was meant to, I swallowed harshly and fiddled with my now well manicured nails. He smirked looking down on me, smelling my nerves, my fear and probably my blood. I furrowed my brows in confusion, I'm pretty sure its not common for pets to receive pillows to sit on... well I'm not complaining I guess, I shrugged it off.
"Good girl." He raised his brows quickly and got back to his work. I really wasn't the kind to put up a fight, or the one to want to sate their needs, I fell into place well and did as told rarely speaking back unless I was truly flustered or in disagreement. I was one of many who were born after the vampires took over the human world, meaning I was born as cattle, high priced cattle, but cattle nonetheless.
I could read okay-ish and my writing really wasn't the best, vampires taught us the bare necessities as humans, once again we were only sold and fed off after 18, to allow us to mature, some were sold off at 16, 15 at minimum if they were precious enough or had been picked straight away and the owner couldn't wait, it made me shudder. I didn't even know how old I was myself, from what I could guess probably 18 basing off that I had been sold but who knew. I squirmed around on the pillow slightly uncomfortable, still in my head thinking about my life up until now.
I never knew my mothers nor father, knowing now that theres a breeding system I assumed that I was probably a child of two AB- people who had bred, conceiving me a (h/c) haired, (e/c) eyed AB- blooded girl, who now sat at the feet of a one of her worst fears. The thought didn't bother me too much, it was sick but it's what I was used to, I was just grateful not to be sold as breeding cattle.
Master stood up from his desk and quickly picked up my leash from where it was previously sitting on the desk and pulled me out of the thoughts and quite literally.
"Come now pet, tch." He tugged, god he enjoys tugging me huh?
