The Vampire King’s Beloved Rose

Rose's Point of View

“Come on Rose. Please go out with us.”

“Yeah, you never go out.” My co workers and best friends Caroline and Peter said as we finished cleaning off the tables at Joe's Diner where we worked at.

“I can't. You know I have to head home. Lilly and Poppy are waiting for me,” I replied.

“Can't you just go out for a couple of hours with us? You are twenty one,” Caroline said

“Yeah, come on. Let's have some fun,” Peter said

“I am sorry, guys but I can't. I have to get home,” I replied

“Well, okay,” Caroline said.

“I will see you guys tomorrow,” I said once we were finished with cleaning

“See ya,” Peter said

“Bye,” Caroline added and I headed to the bus. On my way to the bus, my phone rang. I looked at it to see that my dad was calling. I sighed before accepting the call

“Hello,” I said

“Where are you? You need to get home right now,” My dad said

“I am waiting for the bus. I will be home soon,” I replied

“You better be,” My dad said and then he ended the call.

My name is Rose Easton, and I am twenty-one years old. I have two younger sisters, Lilly, who is seventeen, and Poppy, who is fifteen, whom I am responsible for. My dad hasn't been a good dad since my mother passed away, giving birth to Poppy when I was six years old. He never got over my mother's death. All he does is drink and hang out at the casino. I have been looking out for my sisters since then. I am basically their mother.

The bus ride home takes about thirty minutes, and then I walk the five-minute walk back to the house.

“Stay away from us,” I heard my little sister, Lilly, scream as I got closer to the front door.

“Who are you to tell me what to do, Little Girl?” I heard a man say. Without hesitation, I ran into the house. I was shocked to see five huge men standing around my sisters. Both of my sisters looked frightened.

"What are you doing? Get away from my little sister,” I said as I ran over to where Lilly and Poppy were and stood in front of them protectively.

"So this is your eldest daughter, Charles? You are right. She has a very smart mouth," One of the men said. He was the tallest out of the five and had grey eyes. I looked at all five men and noticed they were all very muscular and taller than any men I had ever seen before.

"Stay away from me and my sisters," I said and the man smiled at me. His smile caused me to shiver in disgust.

"That isn't going to happen. the three of you are coming with me," the man replied

"What? We are not going anywhere with you," I said

"Yes, you are. Your dad sold you to my boss and we came to pick you up. Now come on. I don't have time to play with you," The man replied

"Dad, what's going on? This can't be true. We are your daughters," I said, and my dad laughed.

"Do you think I care? All you girls do is cause problems, especially you" My dad said as he pointed at Poppy. "You never should have been born. You are the reason my wife is dead. It should have been you that died and not her," My dad said. I looked at Poppy to see she had a sad look on her face. My dad always blamed her for the death of our mom and I knew that hurt her a lot.

"You are nothing but a terrible person. I can't believe you would sell your kids," I said

"Okay that is enough. Let's go," the man

"We are not going anywhere with you," I replied

"Either you come willingly, or we will drag you. It's your choice," The man said and I looked at my sisters. "Fuck it. Grab them I don't got all day," The man said and a man came over to Poppy, Lilly and me and lifted us. "Let us go," I Screamed to the man that was holding me. I could hear my sisters screaming as well. Once we were outside they took us over to a van that was parked ok the side of the road and put us in before closing the door behind us.

"Let us go," I screamed as the van started to move.

"Shut up. You are getting on my nerves. I don't know why King Lestat agreed to take you worthless humans in. I know he is going to make you his slaves but what can you do?" The man said. I couldn't believe what the guy was saying. I wasn't going to be anyone slave and neither were my sisters. I looked at my sisters to see they had a scared look on their faces.

"Don't worry, everything is going to be okay," I said and the guy laughed

"That's what you think," I heard the man say

The van drove for about an hour before stopping.

"We are here," one of the guys said as he opened the back door. As soon as my sisters and I got out of the car the same guys that carried us out of our house picked us up again. "Let us go," I said but they didn't listen to me. They took us into a building that smelled like feces and I instantly knew it was a jail. They opened one of the cell doors and threw us inside before closing the door.

"I am afraid," Poppy said

"Don't worry, Poppy. Everything is going to be alright," I replied. Poppy started to cry and all I could do was comfort her

"Shut the fuck up," The same man with the grey eyes said as he walked into the cell, and I quickly stood protectively in front of my sisters.

"You might as well sit down. You can't do anything to me," The man said. Poppy was still crying. "If you don't stop crying I will make you," The man said

"You won't do anything to my little sister," I said

"Move aside, Little girl," the man said

"No," I replied

"Oh, you think you are tough. We will see about that," the man said

"Don't even think about touching me or my sisters," I said

"You think you can stop me. My boss bought all of you. You are our slaves. We can do anything to you and there si nothing you can do about it. If you don't believe me listen to this," The man said before taking his cell phone out of his picking and calling someone. "What do you want Damen?" the man said on the other end

"King Lestat. One of the human slaves are not listening. Do you mind if I teach her a lesson?"

"Of course not. Do whatever you want to her," King Lestat said before he ended the call. Damen looked at me with an evil smirk on his face.

"It's time for us to have some fun," Damen said as he walked over to me and grabbed me by the arm

"What are you doing?" I asked

"I am going to have some fun. He said, and he started pulling at my shirt, causing me to panic.

"Don't touch me," I said

"Don't touch my sister," Lilly added, and she ran toward him, but he pushed her so hard she fell into the cell wall.

"Lilly," Poppy and I screamed at the same time.

Damen tore my shirt off, revealing my bra, but I wasn't going to give up so easily. I kicked him where the sun didn't shine, causing him to groan in pain.

"You bitch," Damen said before he pushed me to the ground.

"Rose," Poppy said

"I was going to take it easy on you, but since you want to be difficult, I changed my mind," Damen said. He got on top and I tried to kick him again but he woudln't let me. "That won't work this time," Damen said, and then he punched me in my face so hard my vision became blurry.

"Beloved!" Was the last thing I heard before darkness consumed me
