His Blood Slave

“You will have everything that you will be needing in this house . I already provided all the necessities that you will be needing in time. That includes food, clothes , your own chamber-“I gasped. With furrowed eyebrows, he flinched at me in confusion. “I have my own chamber?” I asked. “Yes, darling. You do,” he smirked at me. I nodded while holding myself back from crying out of happiness. And probably, trying not to scream this excitement. Imagine, I have no room all my life. I lived off in the basements or storage rooms or anywhere that can house me for a short period of time. And now, here I am, being told about all the benefits I will receive. “I will also give you a mentor who can teach you how to read, write and study,” I smiled when I heard those things. If there is something I really love to want in this lifetime, that will be education. I want to know a lot of things and be smart. Though I already know how to read and write unlike the other blood slaves. I do think t

Sleeping has never been this peaceful for me until now. Last night, I slept. I didn't even realize I was asleep until the sun woke me up by the dazzling light that entered through the stained windows. Geber was the one who assisted me back to my bedroom, helped me bathe and dressed me up with fine clothes. "Thank you," I told her. She gave me the warmest smile that I have ever received. "Don't mention it. I just love welcoming new members to this depressing family." She laughed at her own words. To not make her feel that I wasn't enjoying her company or I felt shy, I smiled at her. After the bath and fitting into dresses, she did my hair and took me to the dining hall. Everyone was seated for breakfast. Gerber was beside me and the rest of the people were seated, chatting. "Good morning, Sol, " Atlas greeted me. I smiled at her, " Good morning." When the presence of my master enveloped the hall room, everyone choked on their own saliva and was silence

I woke up to the sound of my door, creaking as if it was pushed and opened. The room was dark and only the dimmed candlelight stretched on the floor. I let out a small sigh and put myself back to sleep when the door closed, leaving me in this empty space. My back was facing the door so I had no idea who opened it. For a while, I felt fear but when it closed, I was calm again. Restlesness occupied me the whole hour. I couldn't sleep. Since I was awake the whole hour and doing nothing but trying to feel the quiet surrounding, I finally decided to get up and take a short walk. I pushed the door open and the dark hallway met me, approaching like it was chasing ghosts that sent chills down my spine. Sighing, I put on a long, silky white robe to at least warm me up a little before stroding the hallway with nothing but a candle lamp in my right hand. The darkness was like a predator, gawking at me in every step I make. The chills was still there but I no longer feel the creeps. I have n

"Gerber!" Gerber halted upon hearing Atlas yell her name on the hallway. She turned to us, eyes bloodshot as if fire had caused them to fume into red. "Don't stop me, Atlas." "I have all the rights to stop you. I am the mayodorma of this mansion. All servants are under my supervision. If I say you stop, you will stop, Gerber Anderson..." "That bitch almost killed Lord Minir's blood slave, Atlas. What do you want me to do? Calm down?!" "It is impulsive to attack the Countess. You must stay sane to protect Sol. Do you think what you're about to do will help in this matter?!" Gerber looked away, tilting her head in defeat. "It won't! It will only going to make it worse." I pulled Atlas' arm to calm her down. She brushed my hand off her elbow and began walking away from the two of us. "I will take care of this matter. Take the blood slave back to her chamber, Gerber." As Atlas' footsteps disappeared in the hallways, Gerber grabbed me back

Accused. She accused me of something she told me to do. “I…” My words left hanging on the edge of my lips as a hand slapped me across my right cheek. The stinging on my cheek stayed as if it was welcome to continue to linger in my skin. I let out a soft sigh. How foolish of me to believe her genuine words back then. That was foolish of me to not learn from the past situations. I should have been an expert to situations like this since it has happened so many times in the shelter. Blood slaves gettin accused of things that they didn’t do, ending with them getting imprisoned, killed or exiled from the kingdom. I should have known better. I knew better! I was suspecting the turn of events but I let it slip my mind! How foolish! “How dare you do this to me after all the goodness I have showed to you?!” she yelled at me. I heard footsteps rushing from outside my door and caught a glimpse of Gerber being stopped by Atlas. I secretly shook my head at them, lifting my gaze towards
