It has been a month since I started to live here. I am desperate to get out of here but my plan isn't working at all. For my plan to work out, I need Alexander to atleast acknowledge my presence but instead, he hate it. I haven't really had an actual conversation with any of the Vampires till now. At the same time, I didn't ignore them too. They might be thinking that I was “finally" getting used to my new home.
I looked through my luggage and smiled when I noticed the little wooden box, tucked under some of my clothes. I picked it out gently and placed it on the dressing table before opening it to reveal a bracelet that I had received from my mom. I quickly shut the suitcase, blinking away my tears as I straightened my posture. Relax Kat, it's not like you're not going to see them again.
“I should be getting ready." I mumbled to myself, staring up at the alarm clock near my bed.
It was 7:30 pm,time for dinner and I can't afford to be late. It was always my usual routine to eat as soon as possible and return back to the room. I quickly stripped off my clothes and rushed to pick out an outfit. Sighing, I grabbed a huge grey sweater and a pair of black leggings. I was about to get out when the door flew open and Kristen,still on her night gown that barely concealed her came in.
Shit, I forgot to lock the door. I sighed before returning my gaze back to her who was now going over my stuffs at my dressing table.
“there is going to be a party tonight." she told me . I narrowed my eyes at her. They have been hosting parties every week. It's just that I stay back and doesn't show up.
"So, What? It's nothing new. " I asked her as I watch her pick up my bracelet before scoffing at it.
"If you've got nothing to say, then leave." I said angrily but she turned around to face me, her thick brown hair flawlessly flipping to a side.
“I'm letting you know in case you decide to not join us” she seethed, knitting her eyebrows together in annoyance.
"Again." She added still holding onto my bracelet .
"Please keep that bracelet back" I said, closing the wardrobe and exhaling deeply.
"Just letting you know. The boys are going to have a different course of food tonight and a different...” she paused, gently tangling the bracelet in-between her fingers. “Drink." She finished and I stared at her in disbelief. It's blood she's talking about.
“What do you mean? I thought they feed at midnight or outside"
“This is their home. What do you expect? That they would keep playing nice just because we're new here?" she cut me off and I gulped softly before shaking my head.
"I'm not going then. I can't watch them drink..." I trailed off, mentally gagging at the thought that they'll be having
human blood as a drink rather than wine. That's disgusting.
“That's why I'm here darling, to change your mind." Kristen said with a giggle as I watch her took my bracelet before walking up to the door.
"Wait, that's mine"
"You want it? Then come to the party and get it." She taunted me.
"It's not funny, that's what my mom gave-" before I could finish,she ran out of the room and with a low scream, I
ran after her.
"I'm throwing this useless shit!" She yelled across the hallway and I started to panic immediately.
“Don't, that's my..." I trailed away, dreading at the thought that I might lose the one thing that reminded me of my
parents, not to mention, my past life. Just as I reached half way through the hallway, my face connected to a solid, hard substance . Due to the effort,I stumbled back a little.
"Sorry-" I stopped when I noticed Alexander frowning down at me, his eyes glancing at my body, which made me feel very uneasy.
"What's the hurry, barbie?" he asked causing me shiver upon hearing his voice.
“ my bracelet ," I huffed, standing on my tiptoes and glancing past his shoulders but Kristen was nowhere to be seen. “Kristen took my necklace. It's very precious to me and I need it back." I said as I walk past him . But he grabbed my wrist.
"What's so special about it?" he questioned me.
"My mom gave it to me. It's the only thing I have of her. ”I responded, tears welling in my eyes as he gave me a long look.
"Crying over dumb shit is your special talent, huh?" he muttered in exasperation
“Wait here." He mumbled before disappearing from the hallway. But he appeared again . I am supposed to be used to their powers by now . But no. I still gets panicked.
Alexander held the bracelet with his index finger and a smile spread across my face as I tried to grab it. He pulled away . I looked at him confused.
“What's in it for me?" he asked as I stared at him in disbelief.
“I-I don't know? I didn't think I had to pay a price." I mumbled as he shook his head before leaning against the wall behind him.
“Everything costs a price, barbie” He stated and I shrugged, tugging at the end of my sweater. “If you want it back then come for the dinner tonight. I know you're planning to avoid it.” He said as I shook my head.
“No, not tonight." I firmly said again.
"I'm trying to be nice here," his voice turned all low and cold before he took a step forward, his eyes turning a shade
darker as I gulped softly. "So I suggest you to come and be nice." He stated, giving me a small glare as I stood there
silently.
"Okay." I gave in . A victorious smirk appeared on his face before he turned to go on his way.
"Wait!" I called, quickly walking to him “My bracelet" I asked him again.
"I'll give it to you if you behave tonight." He said before walking down the stairs.
“But I am behaving well now, I can't promise anything about tonight because everyone is going to feed at the dinner
table and-" I stopped rambling when Alexander hissed before turning around to face me.
“Fuck off now." He said bitterly and walked towards the dining room . I followed him inside. David, Joey ,Franklin and James are already at the table and soon enough, the other girls Kristen, Hanna,Diana joined us.
"Come sit next to me babe, you look cute as fuck." Joey called me. He's flirtatious but caused no harm till now . I stood in my position as the girls scoffed at my awkwardness but I couldn't help it. Slowly, I took a seat next to him . I almost gagged when I noticed the wine glasses are filled with some dark red liquid. I didn't have to ask anyone to know what it was.
"Cheers, to us!" Franklin said out loud, holding up a glass and everyone one else raised their glasses as well. Alexander sat quietly in his chair, staring at me , sending a glare every now and then. he despise me so much.There is no way I can use him if he hates me this extent.
“Let's do something fun this weekend. How about we go on a trip?" David suggested and the girls immediately
agreed, except me of course. I played with my food and took a bite out of the steak before looking up to face him,
who was now staring at me across the table.
“What?" I asked with a mouth full and he chuckled before shaking his head.
“Nothing" He grinned like a idiot. I felt Alexander's eyes burning holes through my face . I am about to ask him when franklin called my name.
“katy! How about it, a trip with all of us?" He exclaimed and a nervous chuckle escaped through my lips.
"Not that she has a choice.” Alexander mumbled.
“Make the plans and get ready soon." Alexander said impatiently. I wonder how everyone put up with his attitude.
“Diana, sweetheart, come here." Danny called out before Diana popped up from her seat and sat on his lap. I watched
her slide her hair to a side and he immediately started licking all over her neck hungrily and seductively. I blushed
slightly when a moan escaped through her lips but at the same time, it disgusted me . His eyes turned a shade darker and I watched his fangs graze against her skin before I quickly turned away.
"Let the real dinner begin!" Danny exclaimed and the girls hurried out of their seats, picking one of the handsome guys to sit with. It wasn't long before moans and screams filled the room as the guys ruthlessly dug their fangs inside the girl's neck, sucking the blood out hungrily. I wanted to run but i am terrified to move now. The door suddenly flew open and I turned to look at a bunch of girls walking in a bra and panties.
"It's been a while, ladies.” Danny's voice echoed through the room as the girls rushed towards the men, each one of
them sitting on their laps and I stared at them in shock. I can't believe all of this was really taking place right now!
They're all shameless . All I could hear was moans and occasional screaming of girls. I am have to leave this place.
