Khloe's POV:
I often found myself sitting on the window sill, staring out into the world, now being one of those times.
The moon was shining extra bright it seemed tonight. It was lovely.
The night breeze felt nice on my skin.
Master had allowed me to open the window before he left.
He said that he had a delivery that needed to be picked up.
I've been hoping that he would pick up some blood while he was at it.
His 72 hours were almost up.
I let out a long breath, scooting closer to the edge, letting the faint sound of the rustling leaves below fill my mind instead.
I
Khloe's POV:His room was dark, that was the first thing I noticed.The second thing I noticed was the size of the room, how it was pretty much exactly like Masters except for the placement of his furniture.The last thing I noticed was Doe sitting in a cage in the corner of the room, her eyes opening slowly as if she was just waking up.Her eyes then bulged at the sight of me, the sound of a gasp entering her lips before she looked at Xander.That was the last thing I saw before he closed the door, cutting off most of the light that was entering into the room. I could barely see anything more than three feet ahead of me.I took a long shaky breath as I turned towards Xander, freezing under his suddenl
Khloe's POV:How long had it been? Minutes, hours?It felt like I had been here for hours, tied to this bed while Xander took his sweet time drinking from me, though the fact that I wasn't dead yet told me that it hasn't even been near that long.Everything felt hazy, whether it was because of the blood loss or pure fear I wasn't sure.The only thing I could really process was the intense pain in my side and the tight pressure of Xander's grip on my legs.The rest was just a blur, like none of my other senses wanted to experience this.I barely even felt myself fall against the bed, my body apparently feeling too weak to keep it tense anymore.Although, I d
Nico's POV:The room went still as soon as she spoke his name.I felt a low growl escape my throat as I dropped Khloe back onto the bed.Of course it was Xander. Who else would it have been?He would be the only one with the guts to do it and the hope that he could get away with it.I almost found it funny that he thought he was going to get away with it.He's probably sitting on his ass with a proud smirk.I quickly turned on my heels, storming my way to the door.I was going to throw that son of a bitch out of his own window for touching my stuff.She's
I awoke to the sound of whimpering.Specifically, Khloe's whimpering.This wasn't really an uncommon occurrence, in fact, it almost happened every night.Usually, I could just ignore it and fall back asleep, but she was laying on the other side of my bed this time, so it was kind of harder to ignore.I sighed, turning over so I was facing her.Maybe I should just wake her up this time.It would probably be easier than listening to her all night.I could see that she was scared, the way she had herself curled up. Not to mention the look she had on her face."Xan... der," she spoke quietly in her sleep, "Please... don't..."Her body became tenser.Dammit of course she would be having a nightmare about that.A small whine came from her as she gripped the sheets, tears beginning to show between her eyelids.I sighed again, pushing myself up to make my way over to her.I kind of found it odd that s
Khloe's POV:I didn't want to open my eyes when I first woke up.I was so comfortable.This bed was probably the most comfortable thing I had ever slept on.My mind groggily recalled what happened last night.The nightmare I had and the events following it.I forced my eyes open once I remembered what happened with Master.Sure enough, I was still lying beside him, my head practically laying on his arm, almost pressing against his chest. His other arm was still around me, pressed against my upper back. I could even feel his chin barely resting on the top of my head.This was... weird.
Nico's POV:Breakfast has gone pretty much how it always goes so far, Xander talking aimlessly about something that I absolutely couldn't care less about and acting as innocent as ever.Meanwhile, I was trying to figure out if there was a way my fork could somehow make its way into his thigh while still making it look like an accident.I could still smell Khloe's scent in his breath, like he wasn't even trying to hide it from me.God he's so lucky we're in a public environment right now."... speaking of which, wheres Khloe?" He asked as if he was genuinely curious.My jaw clenched at the fact that he brought her up at all."She told me that she wasn't feel
Khloe's POV:I know that Master said that giving me these things would give me something else to do than stare out this window, but the light coming in from it was the perfect lighting to draw in.So, yet again, I was sitting on the window sill, catching up on some long-awaited sketches.A soft sigh escaped my lips as I sketched out the wing of a hummingbird.I found myself actually missing Nico.Well, not him exactly, but just his presence.I never really noticed how exposed I felt when he wasn't around.Or in other words, how safe I felt when he was.Maybe safe wasn't the right word to describe it.
Khloe's POV:It wasn't long until he came back into the room, holding a thin file in one of his hands. Supposedly the one I was supposed to bring to him last night.He seemed to have calmed down a bit, but the tension in his shoulders was still visible.He leaned back against the door as soon as it was closed, his eyes glancing over at me."Did you, um... tell Xander about what she did?" I asked.Nico let out a quiet sigh as he pushed himself from the door, slowly making his way to his desk."No," he began," Taking her back to him and telling him that he could drink from her again was punishment enough."My eyes trailed back to my drawing, furrowing a littl
