Chapter 2

Blipp…blip…blip the clinging sound filled my ears and mind. It was so sweet like water drops falling down on a Chrystal glass. I felt at peas like there was nothing in the world that could ever get me out of my happy state. 'Am I with the gods, have they blessed me to become part of paradise?' Blipp.. blipp.. SMASH I heard it before I felt it, the burning sensation that pinched my face the throbbing that ached in my cheeks from the blow I just received. My eyes flew open and as I realized I could not focus my sight. I got more aware of my body, it hurt and screamed in pain at me. 'I am still alive, but why?'

"Why?", It left my lips in a murmur.

But I got no answer, and started to wiggle my body in a weak attempt to escape. But my body did not move much and I felt my arms being restrained. Darkness threaten to overtake me again, but then I felt a strong hand grasp my head and I immediately looked into the same mans eyes, they where cruel and indifferent at the pain I felt. I tried to escape him and when he suddenly bit into his own wrist and placed it over my mouth I desperately forced my lips shut tight. I knew what vampire blood could do to a human, the healing power it possessed, but I also knew about the curse that followed. The debt that I would owe him, I would no longer belong to myself, but to a vampire. He smiled amused at my attempt to not get the blood into my mouth, but he made it short lived as he pressed the sides of my jaws forcing my lips to open.

The blood poured into my moth, it tasted like metallic and having it in my mouth grossed me out. He then took the hand he had forced my mouth open with to massage the liquid down my throat. I starred at him as scared as I have ever been in my life. To die would have been the best thing that could ever happen compare to this. Compared to the faith that he wished for me, to owe a vampire, was the same as to be owned by a vampire. He made me swallow it all, forcing it down and smirking at my misery. He bent down as he let his right wrist off my mouth and lend towards my ear.

"Once a princess, now my slave. Oh how the grace of the gods smile towards you Alicia." The whispered and mocking voice sent a shiver down my spine.

A tingle started to appear in my stomach and spread throughout my body, It was arousing and even though I did not want those feelings in me I could not help it. The pleasure made my breath pick up and become more and more shallower. I felt his hand follow the curves of my body from my waist towards my neck where it tightened for a second before continuing down over my breasts. He circled them and the reaction my body gave him was immediate. 'No, stop it! Why is he doing this, I hate him, I would rather die, just please let me die.' But no words could be formed from my lips, and as his hand traveled over my stomach towards the center of my body I tightened with pleasure. He bent down and gave a quick peck at the apex of my tight. Tears fell from my eyes, I felt violated and used, but at the same time I felt like there was nothing else I would rather have him do.

"Sleep!", he commanded and my eyes fell shut.

….

The next time I came back to life, I felt different, my body responded to my will and there was no pain. The vague memory of what have happened played like repeat in my mind. 'His slave! I would never be his slave, he can control my body but he will never control my mind' For every second that past, I got more aware of what was around me. I was in a bath, and there where people cleaning me washing away the dirt and the blood from my body. Their hands were small, and as my eyes focused I saw the three beautiful women that where helping me. They where wearing quite simple small black dresses that hugged their figure perfectly. The dress went down to the middle of their tight, the girls all had light brown hair silver bracelets on both their hands, but they kind of reminded me off cuffs.

When I finally came to my wits again I got uncomfortable and splashed the body as I tried to cover up my naked form.

"What are you doing?", I asked with chock in my voice.

"Oh your awake, we are just cleaning you up for our masters service. He doesn´t like it when we look filthy," one of them said, smiling at me.

"Our master? The damn vampire? Why would I care of what he likes?", I asked them courtly.

They all gave me concerned looks and tried to calm me down smiling encouraging. They stood up and reached me their hands to help me up from the huge tub I was in.

"Sorry we got of on the wrong foot, lets get you dried up and put some clothes on you back," another one of them said to me. "Oh and I am Lauren by the way. What is your name?"

"I am Pri... I am Alicia," I corrected quickly. 'Less they knew of my past the better.'

"Nice to meet you Alicia," another bright voice replied. "I am Elza and this is Caroline." she gestured towards the third girl.

As I dried myself of with a towel, Elza and Caroline slipped out of the door. My eyes went to Lauren who was emptying the bathtub. I studied her to try to make out her character. She seemed to be content with her life. 'Why doesn´t it bother her? Is she not also his slave?' my thoughts were interrupted when the door open again and the two other girls were back with the same kind of black dress they wore.

It hugged my body tightly and the fit was exact, as it had been made for me. They dried my hair so if felt in soft curls around my face. Then Elza started to speak.

"Okey, so we need to inform you about the protocols. This life can be very dangerous, but if you please master then you have nothing to fear." She smiled at her own words and stroked my hair down my back.

"I would rather die, then please him." 'How could I? He toke my kingdom and people away from my protection.'

"Well, death is probably not an option right now. If you go against his wish he will make your life hell before he would grant you the mercy of dying." Caroline looked at me with an intense stare.

"Anyway, if he wish it, he can take control of your body. He can force you to do what he wants, but he likes it when his slaves does what he tells them to do with out claiming it with the debt."

I stared at Caroline at the words she spoke. They seemed filled with emotion and the glance in her why seem to tell a rouge story. They continued the instructing. I was to bow down when approaching him and I was to keep my eyes on the ground, whenever vampires where around me. All could order me around, but if I had other instructions from my so called master then those where superior any other that lived here. I was not to speak unless spoken to and I had no right to defy anyone. But since I belonged to him, as he was of a high rank other vampire was allowed to feed or violate them self on me.

The door burst open and in came a gorgeous and ripped guard. He looked over at the girls before his eyes found mine. I could detect a low growl and as I looked to the girls I saw their heads bowed down towards the floor. He walked over to me with firm steps, and I instantly stepped back. His eyes harden further.

"Alicia, come here! Your master require your presence," his tone was monotone and sharp. As he gesticulated for me to move towards him.

I hesitated for a second and was struck by a hand falling to the ground. I could feel his body straddling mine. I went stiff before finding my breath again. And I heard a deep chuckle.

"You are to do as your told stupid human!" He threaten me. "Your master is going to enjoy breaking you down, riding you in until you become the proper slave you are to be." He sounded amused. Lowering his voice whispering against my neck. "And when he is done with you, I will enjoy you crawling at my feet before I make you scream my name in pleasure," he said before putting a small kiss on the nape of my neck.

I draw a quick breath of air in fear, as he pulled me up grabbing my legs and throwing me over his shoulder walking towards the door. Once again I almost lost my breath when my stomach hit his hard body. His steps where quick as we walked through the palace and before I knew it I was thrown down on the floor inside the grand hall, my head almost slamming hard on the steps that was at the far end of it. The steps lead up to the platform with the thrones. And as my eyes glanced up I saw him there, the one that was suppose to be my master. He was dressed in black and had his hair in tied at the nape of his neck. He looked more amazing then I remembered him. 'Damn it, I don´t understand those feelings. They are not real, I hate him.' I glared at him and his eyes shoot up in an strange amusement that made his eyes glow. The look scared me; he looked like a boy playing with a bug and a magnifying glass. Enjoying the thought of the amount of suffering he could cause me. I remember Lauren´s lesson but couldn't allow myself to bow, so instead I turned my eyes to the windows on my left. Focusing on the soft moonlight that poured into the salon.

"Is there any more you wish of me my lord," the guard spoke.

"Yes Matheius, could you please bring up the food stock you have gathered for tonight."

"Of course my lord," matheius said, before I heard his steps disappear out of the room.

It grew dead silent, and I kept my head to the side, I knew he tried to will me into bowing, but I couldn´t not without a fight. I could feel the burn from his gaze on me. I then heard his footstep coming closer to me.

"Alicia," he spoke softly with a honey dripping tongue.

"Princess?!", he asked once again softly as he stood right in front of my body, me still looking away.

"Look at me!" His voice was now harder but not violent, yet. I still ignored his order.

Then he dropped down to his knees unexpectedly and I reacted by trying to move away, but his muscular arms snaked around my thin waist keeping me close to his body. Without hesitating he grabbed my chin hard. I expected him to pull it to his gaze, but instead he held it firmly and tipped my head a little further to the side and down to expose my neck. That was when I really started to panic, my eyes went crazy and I tried to struggle away, quickly realizing how impossibly strong he was.

"No please, don't," I plead as his fangs slid out towards my unprotected neck. He chuckled a bit amused. His breath was heated against my sensitive skin and I could feel the tingle it created down my body.

"Please what? Alicia", he asked me

"Please dont bite me," I answered

"Who am I to you Alicia? What are you to me?" His voice was demanding even though it still held a tine bit of joy at forcing me to say it out loud. 'No, I can´t say it. I wont! But he will bite you if you don't ' I tried to reason with myself. But in the end a subconscious and apparently self protecting part of me took over.

"You are my Master, I am your." I hesitated "... slave." It came out as a whisper, and tears where pooling in my eyes. He pulled away a bit from my neck and turned my gaze to his. A proud smirk was on his face as the victory of the situation flush all over him. I felt like I had just been thrown into dirt being forced to shove it down my throat.

"And what do slaves do, when their master ask them to do something Alicia?" He still spoke my name like he was sucking on candy. It toke me a moment to speak at the mental assault he was putting me through.

"They obey," I heard myself say a bit grumpy as I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Good! Come here," he pulled me up towards the throne and sat me down at a pillow just next to it.

Then he grabbed a silver neckless that looked like a collar that just fitted around my small neck. I felt so embarrassed, he treated me like a dog, He started to stroke my hair and when I tried to pull away, I realized that the color was connected to the chair. I could not move away from his touch. He smiled evil down at me, continuing to stroke my dark hair while observing me. Then the door flew open and a bunch of women, men and children where pushed into the grand hall. They all looked frightened and dirty and where thrown down at the ground in the front of the throne podium. Muffled gasps, screams and cries escaped their lips. I gasped for air, it was hurting to see them in such a state. I noticed that the children where young, some no older then 6 or 7. The women and men where probably some of those who had tried to escape but did not succeed in their quest.

"Now, princess Alicia," he spoke to me directly as he took out one of the youngest child's in the crowed looking at me. He stroke the young girls head smiling at me.

"Every time you disobey me, not only you will suffer, but also the people." He waited to catch my horrified reaction. "This is for not bowing down to your master." With that he bit down in the neck of the child ripping the skin asunder as other vampires entered the room and a massacre unwrapped itself before my eyes...
