Gabriella Monet POV
“Bianca was a servant in the castle-like you.”Teale began his story. We were both sitting outside the castle under a tree. Ever since I came into the castle, I have never been outside, and seeing the sun after so long bought a smile to my face. The sun doesn’t affect the Vampires like in the movies and the stories. The vampires admire the sun as the humans do. It was natural and it deserves to be appreciated. ” Are you listening to me?” Teale questioned beside me.
“Yes. I’m just appreciating nature.” I told him and smiled at him.
“I was the first to speak to Bianca when she came into the castle as a slave but Slade asked her out first so we became friends.” He expressed sadly.
“How did Bianca die?” I questioned not ready to listen to his heartbreaking story.
“She was killed by the king.”
“Why?”
” Because Bianca murdered the Queen’s sister.”
“What?” I refused to believe she will ever do that. Call it instinct or whatever but I believe she will never do that.
“Exactly. She was framed.” Teale explained. “I didn’t believe she would do that.”
“But Slade could have saved her. Why didn’t he do that?”
“Because I had no choice,” Slade’s harsh tone sounded behind us and I jumped up in fright. “So this is where you were?”
“Slade. I…” I tried to talk but I couldn’t form any words. I wasn’t scared to talk to him but somewhat I felt like I was betraying him.
“You are discussing Bianca when you should be apologizing for pouring Vervain inside my water. ”
“Slade. It’s not what you think, I just try to….” Before Teale could finish his sentence, Slade snapped his neck and he fell to the ground.
“What did you do?” I screamed in horror. “Did you kill him!” I shouted and rushed to wake Teale up.
“Don’t waste your time. I just put him to sleep.”
“What’s is your problem?” I left Teale’s side and rushed to hit him but he grabbed my hand and drew me closer to him.
“I might have grown soft on you lately” he growled and grabbed a handful of my hair.
“What’s are you doing?” I shrieked.
“Teaching you a lesson.” He dragged me inside the castle by my hair. I felt my scalp splitting as his grip on my hair was too tight. Everyone who passed beside us shook their head when they saw me. Slade dragged me into his room and locked the door.
“What’s the hell….” He silenced me with a kiss and when I tried to protest he bit my lips and suck on my blood. His kiss was brutal, unlike last time when he kissed me with passion. He raised me and threw me to the bed. I landed on the bed with force and before I could say anything he landed on me. He resumed kissing me with brutality and I thought my lips were going to tear. I tried to push him but he didn’t budge. His hands found my clothes and he tore them revealing my underwear. My heart raced first as I thought about getting raped.
“Slade!” I shouted in my thought because I knew he will hear me. “What’s are you doing? Let’s me go!”
He seems to hear that and stopped kissing me. “What’s the hell is your problem?” I said it aloud and he placed his lips on mine again.
“Beg to be free.” He told me.
“Never, I refused and spat on his face.”
“Then watch as I am going to ruin every part of your body.” He threatened but it’s wasn’t a mere threat. One of his hands found my breast and he fondled it. I moaned at his touch and quickly regret that I did it. “You seem to like it. How about I suck your nipples?”
My eyes almost popped out of my socket when he said that. I tried to push him off but he didn’t budge. Both his hands found a way to my waistline. He caress it and touched my panties. I screamed out loud but he placed a hand on my mouth.
“Beg to be free or beg to be fuck,” he whispered into my ears. His warm breath sent shivers to my body. “Beg Gabriella” he whispered again.
A lone tear escaped my eyes and it’s soon turned into more tears. With every part of my body, Slade caressed, I felt my body responding to it but I wasn’t enjoying it. I felt disgusted at myself for letting a blood-sucking demon touch me. I did the one thing I never believed I could do. I begged. “Please, let’s me go.” I cried out.
Slade laughed when he saw the tears on my face. He seems to be happy that I was sad. This made him hate him more and I felt like killing but I couldn’t because I was powerless. “So you could beg,” he rose from my body and sat on his bed. “This should be a warning to you Gabriella. I could be wicked and very cruel. I don’t want you talking to Teale again.”
“This is about Teale?” I managed to speak out. My voice sounded croaked from crying too much. “You almost raped me because of Teale?”
“I don’t rape women Gabriella. They beg me to take them to their bed. You don’t get to talk about Bianca with anyone, especially Teale.”
“If that’s is all then I need to go to my room. Teale is the only friend I have. You can’t make me leave him.”
“You can’t be with Teale. I am your master and I have authority over you so you’ll learn how to listen to me!” He shouted at me and I flinched. He tried to touch me but I moved out of his reach. “Whatever you feel right now is none of my business.”
“Why would it be your business? You are a vampire and I’m sure you have no feelings at all because you don’t have a heart. What you did today makes me hate you more Slade.” I told him and stood up to leave the room.
“Where are you going?” He questioned.
Instead of answering him, I fixed my clothes and walked towards the door but before I could open the door, he appeared in front of me. “Don’t walk away from me when I’m talking to you, Gabriella.”
“I’m just going to my room. Okay!” I shouted at him. I expected him to raise his hands on me but instead, he heaved a sigh and folded his arms.
“Go change your clothe in your room and come back to fix my room. It looks a little bit messy.”
I looked into his eyes and bow my head. “Yes your highness,” I made sure I exaggerate the word highness.
“Gabriella,” he tried to say something but I pointed to the door. He moved away from the door and I opened the door and walked outside.
When I reached my room, I fell on my bed and burst into tears. I kicked, scream but I wasn’t satisfied. I rushed into the bathroom and scrubbed my body multiple times until I felt clean. After the thorough cleaning, I stared at myself in the mirror in the bathroom. I touched my hair and felt disgusted at myself. I rushed into my room and saw scissors on one of the shelves. I walked back into the bathroom and continue staring at myself. I raised the scissors and began to cut my hair until I was satisfied. My once long hair was now short and only reached my neck region. I stared at my new self and let out a deafening scream.
