EVE'S POV:-
I felt a sharp pain on my head. That made me open my eyes again. It was the same vampire, pulling my hair again. I just realized that it was just a dream. A dream that made me feel safe for a while. A dream in which I was hugging death and begging him to kill me. But he said he was not allowed to do that. It was not his fault. It was no one's fault. I was just a born sin, maybe. That was why I was hated by everyone. "Who told you that you can fall asleep in this cart. Now look, your dirty tears ruined this cart. Get up and bring wipes and a bucket of water. I want this cart to be cleaned up in an hour." He said and he dragged me out of the cart.
I yelped in pain as my knees hit the ground. "I said get up and get to work." He yelled at me and I jumped in fear. I nodded my head and ran towards the door of the palace. "Stop!" He yelled again from behind and I stopped into my tracks. I turned around to face him but my eyes were glued to the ground. He came closer to me and pointed his index finger on my shoes.
"Why are you wearing shoes? You are a slave, not Master Adrian's girlfriend. Melissa, come here." He yelled at me and I backed away a little. He then called a woman and I saw a woman coming towards us. She looked at me from head to toe then she gave me a disgusted look, as if I was a prostitute. I was not a dirty woman. I was not like that.
"Take her in and give her clothes. She is a new slave for Master Adrian. Do it fast, I have given her first task to her. If she would be late because of you, I will kill you." He said and Melissa just nodded her head.
"Of course, Richard. I will make sure she will be here right on time." She replied to him with a smirk that made me shiver. I did not know why but I felt like she would do something against his will. He did not see her smirk because he had already turned around. Melissa grabbed my hand and pulled me into the palace.
"You are the slut they all have been talking about. You are a curse for our territory. Can you not just kill yourself so our territory will be cleaned like it used to be?" She asked me that question bitterly. I just narrowed my eyes as my eyes were already filled with tears again hearing her bitter words. She stomped her foot on the ground and went away. I wanted to stop her but she walked away without looking at me. I tried to call her from behind but she ignored me.
I waited there for a few minutes then I started chewing my nails in nervousness. Vamp Richard's words were playing into my head again and again. A few more minutes went by but Melissa did not come back. I started walking back and forth. I tried to stop someone other than Melissa so I could change and complete my task. But they all pushed me away and ran like I was a demon. Time passed and only five minutes left. I just sat on the marbled floor and cried as I knew she did it on purpose. Her smirk had already told me how much she hated me.
I heard vamp Richard roaring loudly at everyone and asking for me. I thought it would be better if I would go to him by myself. I thought he would give me a chance to explain myself. I stood up and went to him. I was shaking with fear and my heart was drumming inside my rib cage. As I saw his angry eyes, even my devils started shivering. I went to him and stood in front of him with my eyes narrowed. "Did I not tell you to clean the cart? Where were you? Why have you not changed your clothes yet?" He asked me angrily.
"I was waiting for Melissa to give me my clothes. I even tried to ask the others to give me clothes so I will get back to work. But they all pushed me away. I am sorry, Master. I could not complete the task." I replied in a low tone. Vamp Richard balled his fists in anger and gritted his teeth. He grabbed my wrist and took me to Master Salvador. He told him everything that had happened. Master Salvador was furiouse by the end. Master Salvador took me back to the main hall and stopped one of the vampires.
"Where is Melissa?" He asked in an angry tone that sent chills to my spine. I wrapped my arm around my stomach to control myself.
"Master Hayden called her. We have not seen her ever since. That's what she said before she left." That vampire replied and it angered master Salvador even more. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the stairs. I was not eighteen, that was why I had not turned into a vampire. But I just did not understand how I was able to walk as fast as master Salvador. He stopped in front of a room that was locked. But I could hear some people inside. A couple actually. They were having sex.
Hearing their loud moans and their adult conversation, my cheeks burned and I tried to cover my ears. But one of my hands was still in Master Salvador's grasp. He took a step back and kicked the door hard. The door broke and it's pieces ended up on the floor. "Did Richard not tell you to give Eve her clothes? Why did you not complete your task, Melissa?" Master Salvador asked angrily and the couple sat up on the bed.
"What about you? You just broke the door of my bedroom. Who would fix that?" That man who was on the bed, asked Master Salvador in a humorous tone.
"Not now, Hayden. I am angry right now. Do not interfere in my job." Master Salvador warned that ancient vampire named Hayden. Hayden rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Master Hayden wanted me. That was the reason I came running to him" Melissa replied in a shaky voice and Hayden hopped off of the bed.
"Nice try, Melissa. But we all know Salvador. Brother, she came to me saying she is horny and she wants to make me feel good. I just wanted to have fun. I asked her if she had completed her tasks and she told me she did. I did not know she came to me to hide behind me." Just then I realized that it was Master Adrian's brother who had come from Pennsylvania a week ago.
"I did complete my task. I told her where she could find her clothes. Then I left. It's not my fault she was lazy. What was she waiting for? For me to change her clothes?" She lied right in front of me and everyone turned to look at me.
"She did not say anything. Believe me. She told me that I should kill myself than she walked away. You can ask anyone. I tried to stop her but she did not even turn around." I justified myself and Master Salvador gritted his teeth. I thought he would hit me but he did not. Hearing my reply, Melissa crawled out of the bed and went to Master Hayden. She started crying dramatically and hugged him tightly.
"Master, she is lying. It's a lie. I didn't say anything like that. I told her where she could find her clothes. She wants to separate me from you." She said and started sobbing hard. Master Hayden gritted his teeth and came to me. Before I could understand what was going on, a sharp slap made its way to my cheek.
EVE'S POV:-"Master, she is lying. It's a lie. I didn't say anything like that. I told her where she could find her clothes. She wants to separate me from you." She said and started sobbing hard. Master Hayden gritted his teeth and came to me. Before I could understand what was going on, a sharp slap made its way to my cheek. I fell on the ground. Because of the sudden impact, Master Salvador let go of my hand.Master Hayden grabbed me by my neck and pulled me up. I started coughing due to his firm hold. He was choking me. "Hayden, that's enough. Let her go. She belongs to Master Adrian. If she dies, you will be the one to answer Master Adrian. Let her go now." Master Salvador yelled from behind but did not try to help me. My eyes fell on Melissa who had a satisfied smile on her face. As if she had won a game. A dirty game she was playing with me."Master Hayden, I
RYAN'S POV:-As soon as I received the message from my master, I grabbed my bag and hopped into my cart. I told the driver to take me to Master Adrian's palace. It had been long since I had seen my master. He had told me that he would call me back soon. He needed me around him and to take care of his personal matters. And he only trusted me with that. I was more than happy to serve him. After all, I owed him my life.They all called me Eclipse. As I was a dark soul. They all feared me, even Salvador and Hayden. They all knew I could chop them easily if my master would order me. The only person I cared about was my master. It took us long but the cart finally came to a halt.I stepped out of the other cart I used for traveling. Hearing a lot of noises coming out of the palace, I got worried. I quickly went towards the door. I saw a cart parked in front of the doors of the pa
THIRD PERSON'S POV:-Salvador saw Hayden walking towards him. He gritted his teeth while mopping the floor of his master's bedroom. "Tell me, cousin. You like her, don't you? That's why you stood in front of me. Because I remember Master Adrian threatened us to behave before he left." Hearing Hayden's claims, Salvador felt the pure rage inside his chest. Salvador balled his fists and punched Hayden's face hard."You should be ashamed of whatever you just did, Hayden. That girl you have beaten up mercilessly, she is not a vampire by now. She is just a child. And guess what, she will soon die because of you. I heard the doctor saying all that. I can't believe it, her brother lied to us and sold her saying that she can't control her blood lust. That was why we bought her in the first place. So she would be a guard dog for us. Now I don't know how I will ever get rid of the guilt of being harsh wit
EVE'S POV:-I opened my eyes and sat up on the bed. I looked around and frowned. "Why does heaven look like the old hell-ish world I was eliminated from?" I asked myself and tried to hop off of the bed. I screamed loudly as I felt a sharp pain in my leg when my toe touched the ground. It was not the same pain I felt when my leg was broken. But I still felt pain. That was when I noticed that my leg was plastered."Are doctors available in heaven? Do they plaster the broken bones? I did not imagine heaven to be like earth." I spoke to myself as I tried to get my leg back up on the bed. It was a very silky and soft bed."If it is not for this lovely, silky bed, I would have thought I was still on earth." I spoke to myself while rubbing my palm over the silky bed. I froze as I heard a chuckle. I quickly looked up and found Master Adrian standing by the door frame.
MASTER ADRIAN'S POV:-I was pulled out of that nightmare when someone shook me. I looked around and found everyone hiding behind the furniture. Master of the Redford territory, Vincent Redford was standing in front of me, ready to fight. "What happened?" I asked in a confused tone. I just did not understand what was happening. First, I was sitting with Master Redford, discussing some matters with him. Then I saw that girl in the house of the doctor of my territory. And then it felt like I just woke up from a nightmare."We were talking about the borders and the trouble we both are facing because of those witches. Suddenly, your eyes went pitch black and you started screaming at first. You were about to attack us when I shook you hard enough to make you wake up. It was like you were stuck into a nightmare. Are you okay, my friend?" Vincent asked me and I looked around. I sighed and nodded my head.
EVE'S POV:-He pinched my chin again lightly and shut my mouth. All the time he had a beautiful smile on his face that I had never seen ever before. "Now close your eyes. I want you to heal as soon as possible. So I can know you more." He said and I just slowly nodded my head. He laid beside me and wrapped an arm around my waist. He pulled me closer to him and I inhaled his masculine scent deeply. Something tickled inside my stomach as his scent reached my lungs. I closed my eyes and fell asleep faster than ever.I opened my eyes again as I felt an urge to pee. Again, I was able to sit up on the bed easily. But I could not move my leg at all. It hurt a lot every time I tried to move it. But at the same time, I knew I was on Master Adrian's bed. I did not want his bed to get dirty because of me. I did not know what to do.I started crying as it was getting impossible for me to control.
EVE'S POV:-I was sitting on the bed, getting bored. Master did not let me move an inch. Whatever I needed, I got it on the bed. Everyone was ordered to take care of my needs. Master strictly ordered everyone to take care of me. But most of the time, master Adrian was around and did not even let me sit up with no reason. I was hell bored sitting all day on a bed, just in a day.Master Adrian stepped into the room and locked the door. I sighed in annoyance as I knew I would be lying again. And I knew he would ask me to rest. I was tired of all the sleeping and resting. "What's wrong, love? Why are you sighing like this?" He asked me as he got rid of the coat he was wearing."Nothing." I replied and shook my head. He chuckled and went into the closet. I did not have enough courage to tell him straight that I did not want to sleep. At least not that early. He ste
EVE'S POV:-I opened my eyes and found Master Adrian lying beside me. He was thinking about something that he did not notice that I was awake. I could not stop myself from touching his sharp jawline. As my fingers touched his jawline, he looked at me and gave me his wide smile. He then leaned in and pecked my forehead. I whimpered as his lips touched my skin.He smirked as he heard my whimper. He hovered over me and I shivered as I saw his red eyes. But it was not fear that I felt. It was something very delicious. I felt something ticking the insides of my stomach. He leaned towards my neck and inhaled deeply. I was breathing heavily. His tongue touched the skin of my neck and I shivered again.He started laughing loudly and laid back down on the bed. I looked at him in confusion and found him shaking his head. If my leg would be fully healed by then or It wou
