Chapter 1
I scowl at all the people running around trying to get us changed and ready to go.
I honestly would rather be in my cage.
I've been beaten, broken, and bloodied so many times and yet this is the worst thing that I am going to endure.
I am in underwear and a bra and my bruised and bloody body is on full display for everyone in that audience.
"Get in line!" Smith the director snaps at us. I step in line and we are ushered onto the stage. A gasp falls from my lips.
There are a LOT of people.
"Amelia." As the girls in front of me get auctioned off my heart continues beating loudly.
My name is called and I am panicking right now. I don't want to be wanted!
I would like to be where I was, deep in my little village where the vampires weren't.
The vampires don't like to be anywhere where there are peasants. I am to be a pet. I'm lucky I'm not going to be a slave, slaves have it the worst.
They are often beaten and made to work in harsh conditions.
But then again being a pet isn't all that great either, being a pet is just a nice way of saying personal blood bag. I hate that us humans have come to this but what can I honestly do about it? I have no power.
"10,000" I hear the auctioneer shout and then i zone back in and I am confused how can anyone want to pay that much money for ME?
A hand raises but I can't see their face. Another hand raises and I see it's an old man. 12,000 the auctioneer shouts again and the same two people raise their hands. 15,000.
This time the only one to raise their hand is the person I can't see.
"Sold to Prince Nicholas of house Samaritan." I shudder. Prince Nicholas?! No! I've heard about him.
The Samaritan family is a dangerous one.
They kill without remorse and show no mercy.
I am the last one to be sold and the auctioneer says "Go find your new masters." I sigh and climb off the stage and stand there.
The pets are collected and the masters and the pets start filing out.
A hand connects on my upper arm and my eyes are met with bright green ones.
He has brown hair, and full lips. He is so beautiful and I can see the power radiating off of him.
"Come along." His voice is like melting honey and yet it holds so much authority I would be stupid not to follow him. He looks right into my eyes and asks.
"Will you try and run off if I let you go?" I shake my head. "No master I'll follow you." He nods and releases my arm and starts walking.
I follow easily behind him and he leads us to a carriage and he climbs in easily and glances back at me. "Do you need help?"
"No master I just wanted to know if I had permission to climb in."
He nods. I climb in and sit across from him.
Sitting across from a vampire is pretty nerve wracking and I feel as though my heart is about to burst from my chest.
He ignores me and I look out the window.
The scenery is beautiful and luxurious. There are trees and the sky is a wonderful baby blue. I sigh and lean back.
I am about to close my eyes until I remember I wasn't given permission to do so.
I am not about to ask my master if I am able to go to sleep. I glance at him and he looks back at me.
"You can sleep." He says as if he already knows that I would like to sleep. I grimace. I close my eyes and begin to drift off to sleep.
