Sold To A Vampire Master

Maddie’s POV: ​I stared down at myself and the other girls beside me. How did I end up like this? ​We were all dressed inappropriately, most of us in lingerie and uncomfortable high heels. The people who worked there were all men and they smirked as they stared at us in a dirty manner. ​They shackled us together as if we were pets, leaving me at the bottom of the line. The owner personally put mine on. He stared at me as we walked through the walkway that led to the stage, his eyes screamed If you try anything funny you’re going to get it. ​Lights came on. The bright stage light was blinding and it took me a few moments to adjust before I could stare out all well-dressed vampires before me. Each and every one of them staring at us, some whispering and pointing to girls they may or may not be interested in. ​Whenever I managed to catch a vampires gaze I made sure to stare at them for long till they either got bored or pissed and broke their gaze. I kind of turned it into a game. At a point I locked eyes with one vampire who felt really mysterious, yes all vampires are mysterious but this was different. He was seated in the back row and he gave off a mystic aura. About a minute passed and he was yet to break his gaze, it began to annoy me and I soon realized he was playing my own game on me. I refused to lose at my own game so I kept staring at him. I had been staring at him so long I didn’t notice the other girls had already been sold or sent back until the owner pushed me to move to the very front of the stage. ​The bid caller took a glance at me then began. “ Well what do we have here? “, he said reading from a note. “This beauty over here is Maddie Smith “, he said as he gestured to me. I sneered at the mention of the name Smith; I refuse to be known by that name, the name of those monsters. ​“ My name isn’t Smith “, I said under my breath. ​“ What did you say? “, the bid caller asked in a threatening tone. ​My owner dragged my shackles, that was a sign for me to shut up. ​“ As you can see she is a beautiful girl with curves in all the right places “, he said then laughed which made almost every other vampire in the room also burst into laughter. ​“ Maddie here was sent from the Smith’s foster home, she’s 19 with… “, he said then paused. He raised his brows and smiled, ‘Type AB blood’, he roared. ​The whole room was in uproar at the mention of this, it seemed AB blood was a special type, maybe it had the best taste, gave them the most nutrition or something. ​“ The Smith’s always deliver, am I right? “, he screamed as he laughed again. That last statement sent a chill down my spine, of disgust. I hated that family for selling me to a group of vampires but I hated them more because now I knew I wasn’t the first girl they had sold and I probably wouldn’t be the last. ​“ She’s quite the feisty one”, he said, he acted as if that made him sad. “Which makes it even more fun. Am I right? ”, he screamed and made everyone burst into laughter once again. ​He ended his little speech and immediately the bidding began. I went numb after the first hand went up. I didn’t want to be bid on, I was nobody’s property. My stomach began to turn as more hands went up and it was as if my whole life went upside down. ​“ We will start the bid at fifty thousand dollars “, the bid caller began. A vampire raised his hands, “ We have fifty thousand dollars, fifty thousand. Anyone else? “, the bidder screamed as he negotiated with the remaining blood sucking demons. ​“ Seventy thousand! ”, someone in the crowd screamed. ​“ Eighty thousand “, another one said. ​“ Ninety thousand dollars! “ ​“ Hundred thousand”, a funny looking vampire screamed. ​“ Ohh! We have a hundred thousand “, the bid caller said. ​“ A hundred and five”, another person said. ​It went on and on for a while until someone in the crowd screamed, “Two hundred thousand! ”. The other vampires went silent. I looked up to see who it was it was an old vampire. I had been staring down for so long I didn’t notice the other girls had been sitting beside the vampires that bought them. The vampire that just made the highest bid for me had about four girls seated beside him already. He was drinking a lot and gave off a revolting aura but seemed to be a vampire with considerable prestige. I didn’t want to be sold but I did not want to be sold to him even more, I would rather die. ​“ Going, going…”, the bid caller said. “Go-“. ​“ Two fifty “, a husky voice said from the back. Everywhere went silent. Everyone turned to see who it was. The revolting man looked back at him in disgust, “ Who dare challenges me “, he said. It was him, the mysterious guy who didn’t break his stare when I was staring at him. Murmur broke through the room and I felt my eyes widen. Who was this strange vampire? I looked closely and there was no girl seated close to him. “ Two sixty “, the old revolting man screamed with anger. “ Two seventy ”, the mysterious man said again. It went on for a while; the addition of ten thousand dollars to raise their auction. The revolting man finally screamed, “ Five hundred thousand! “. Silence filled the hall, it wasn’t about getting me anymore for him, he just didn’t want to lose. My heart became really heavy, I didn’t want to be sold but I didn’t want to be sold to the revolting man even more and knowing what he went through to get me now, I was sure he would treat me even worse. The bid caller was about to scream sold when the mysterious man at the back screamed, “ One million dollars “. There were some loud gasps in the room at the mention of this, mine included because I couldn’t believe it too. A million dollars? For some human he was going to suck dry one day. Even the bid caller was dumb founded for a few seconds and didn’t know what to say. He finally got a hold of himself and screamed at the top of his lungs, “ Sold! “. I was lead to the table of the mysterious man by my owner who held my hand tightly, he looked over slowly. “ Let go of her “, the mysterious man said to my owner who immediately let go of me as fear flashed in his eyes. He asked the owner some other questions that I didn’t really listen to, I was busy looking at the other girls as they followed their vampires out of the hall, some vampires had already began maltreating some girls before they got out. I was getting tired of being spoken about like I wasn’t there. I finally interrupted their conversation and said with a very rude tone, “ If you have a question about me, why don’t you just ask me “. “ Don’t speak when I speak “, was the response I got from him alongside a deadly stare that made me immediately feel eerie. A few minute ago I had been staring at his eyes like they were nothing but now those red eyes gave off a really dark aura. “ I apologize my lord, I’m deeply sorry for her rude behavior “, my owner said quickly and with a broken voice. “ No need for that, I’ll still be sticking to my bid “, he said. He looked at me again and then brought out a check book from his blazer. He brought out a pen and wrote the amount he had bid then handed it to the owner. The owner’s face shone as he collected the check. “ Thank you my Lord “, he said as he proceeded to give him my leash and then left, still with a wide smile on his face. Holding the leash between his pale fingers, he stared at the collar with my name on it. “Hm, Maddie “ I rose a brow at him and he looked at me without any emotion on his face. He tugged lightly on my leash. “ Come on now “, he said. I moved closer to him slowly. He grabbed my wrist with one hand and pulled something out of his coat pocket; a black leather collar with a ruby that shined bright under the dim light. With his hand still on my wrist he slowly rose up and removed the old collar that I had been wearing in like forever. He replaced it with his own and pulled out a new leash and attached it to the collar. “ Much better “, he said. “ So, would you like to go home or remain here? “, he asked. I looked at him and wondered what in the world was wrong with this vampire. “ Do I really have a say? “, I asked and looked at him angrily. He grabbed my head. “ Let go “, I screamed. He tilted it to show me as some vampires plunged their fangs into the skin of the girls that weren’t sold. “ Would you like to join them? “, he asked. I gulped then closed my eyes in disgust and pity almost shedding a tear, I knew one of the girls, she was nice to me when I had just arrived at the shop. I finally looked away. “ That must mean you wish to go home “, he said. He went for the door, pulling me along with him. I glared at the leash as he led me from the room and out the door where an expensive looking limo was waiting. A man in a fancy suit opened the door for us and he nudged me towards the car. I glanced at his grip on my leash before complying. I wouldn’t be able to run from a vampire much less a Lord, so there was no point in trying. He settled in the car next to me and the door shut with an ominous metallic click. The guy in the fancy suit sat in front and began to drive. I shifted a bit away from him before glancing at him again and wondered why he bought me, especially at that insane price. He stared back at me, “The ride back is quite long “, he said then looked back up. “ So I am going to use the time to ask you a series of questions, if at any point I feel you are lying you are going to be punished. Do you understand?”. “ How would you know when I’m lying “, I asked. He looked at me then took his face away from me again. “ Do you understand? “, he asked again completely ignoring the question I asked. “ Fine “, I said in frustration. Who the hell was this guy? He nodded, “ So tell me, how do you feel about vampires? “ I glared, “ Good for nothing bastards who should all burn in hell “. I expected him to be angry but rather he seemed kind of amused, “Interesting “, he said. He looked at me again, “ How did you end up here?”, he asked again. A series of bad memories rushed to me again; memories about the night I was sold. “ I don’t want to answer that “, I replied. I was expecting the punishment but he just responded with, “ Okay “. He paused again for a while then went on with another question. “Do you know why I bought you? “, he asked. I had been asking myself that question since he bought me. I shot at him with a blank look, “ My blood? “. He stared at me, “ Yes, but that’s only part of the reason “, he said. I waited for him to continue but he didn’t. I finally lost patience and asked, “ So? What’s the other reason? “. He looked at me again, “ Oh, just for fun”. What? Was this guy insane or something. Did he really spend a million bucks on me ‘just for fun’? “ Well if you were going for fun, you got the wrong person “, I said sharply. He didn’t say a word which made me even more pissed, “I’m not some girl that would do all you say just because you’re a vampire. I’m not scared of you ”, I went on angrily still not getting a word out of him. “ That’s what makes it fun dear “, he finally said. I was beginning to think the old revolting vampire was a better choice, this guy is expressionless and just said the fun in getting me was me was that I would not give in to him. I was furious but a little bit scared at that point. I sat still throughout the rest of the ride. He didn’t ask any other questions and was silent for the rest of the journey. The car finally stopped, I looked out the window and to be honest I was a little astonished, we were at a mansion. It was huge. Really huge. The kind with those fountain thingies in the middle of the compound. I had only seen houses like those in movies. The besuited driver opened the door, “ Lord Fredrick, we have arrived “, he said as he bowed. I laughed a little, Fredrick? What a dumb name for a vampire. He stared at me, “ You know I can read minds right? Maddie “, he said as he called my name mockingly. “ Hey what’s wrong with Maddie? “, I shouted. He had gotten out of the car and yanked my leash signaling me to come out which I did. “Now be good, Maddie “, he did it again. He was mocking my name, I hated this guy even more, Ah! We went into his home, it was huge and beautiful. Each corners of the walls were beautifully carved and each designs made with complete care, and gold. The elegant marble tiles shined brightly, obviously having been cleaned before we arrived. We walked up the silver, winding staircase and there was a maid at the top of the stairs who was apparently waiting for me. “ Get her bathed and dressed in one of the dresses I had picked out “, he said to the maid. “ I can pick out my own clothes “, I said to him rudely. He looked at me for a while without saying a thing, he turned back and proceeded to leave. “ You’re in my house, so you wear what I say you should wear. Get her changed”, he said as he left. That bastard, I wish I could shove a bunch of garlic into his heart and toss him out in the sun. “ Come with me Miss Maddie “, the maid said as she went into a room, I followed her in and then she went out and shut the door on me. I could see her shadows from underneath, she told me to shower and get ready for the master. Yuck. I sat on the giant bed and removed the uncomfortable high heels I was forced to wear. I then undressed and lead myself to the bathroom. I was really angry but to be honest, the relaxing bubble bath in the huge tub did make me calm down a little bit. After lying down in the tub for a while I finally got out, I dried myself and went back to the room. I opened the wardrobes and they were filled with princess dresses, literally. “ What the hell? “, I screamed to the maid who was still at the other side of the door. “ Any problem Miss Maddie? “, she asked. “ Yes there is, there aren’t any clothes here “, I screamed. “ You must be mistaken Miss Maddie, there are plenty of clothes in the wardrobe “. “ First, stop calling me Miss. Also, you guys probably gave me the wrong wardrobe, because this is obviously meant for the cast of Disney “, I yelled. “ Master selected those dresses himself so I’m sure they are all fine “, she said. Arghhhh. Was this lady nuts? I scattered through the wardrobe again and finally picked the least disgusting dress. It was a blue gown that reached the tips of my toes, it literally swept the floor as I walked. I stared at the mirror and I looked like f*****g Cinderella. I swung open the door and the maid stared at my legs. “ What now? “, I asked frustrated. “ You’re wearing slippers Miss Maddie. Master wouldn’t approve of that “, she said again. The way she said all that with a straight face was what really pissed me off. Did she really expect me to wear heels at this time? I looked up at her and I could see that she was serious. I screamed internally. I went back in and slipped on the first pair of heels I could find. I swung open the door and she said I couldn’t see him yet, again. “ What now? “, I asked again, I had to control myself from punching her in the face. “ Your hair Miss Maddie. And also your face “, she said still with that straight face. “ My face? What do you mean by my face? “, I asked sharply “ You need to have your face done “ “Wait do you mean make up? “. Do this people really want me to put on make-up indoors just because of Lord Fredshit. “ Is there an occasion or something “, I asked. “ No, master just wants you to look perfect all the time “, she blurted out. You’ve got to be frigging kidding me. I went back in and slammed the door in frustration. I made my hair and put some make-up on, then I went back to the door. I swear to God if she had sent me back for anything else I would have attacked her. I swung open the door, but only this time the maid wasn’t there anymore, it was Lord Fredshit. “ What are you doing here? “, I snorted “ Good to see you too “, he said. This guy really had a special power; getting on my nerves. “ I can’t say the same “, I replied sharply. He chuckled a bit, “ Well, time for dinner “, he said. Wait, did I get all dressed up so he could suck my blood? He scoffed, “ Not that kind of dinner “. He had read my mind again. “ Oh “, I said plainly as I tried to hide the relief in me. I wasn’t a fans of needles so I definitely won’t be a fan of a vampire’s fangs and I had heard things from some girls in the cell about how bad and painful the fangs are. “ Follow me “, he said as he headed down the stairs. I followed him round the spiral stairs and he took me to the dining room. Like every other room I had been to in this house, it was huge. There was a long table filled with foods, I sat on one end and he sat at the other far end. “ You may eat “, he said. As much as I hated his guts and didn’t want to obey him, I was really hungry. It had been a long day and I hadn’t had anything to eat, and I wouldn’t call what we were given in the cell food. My stomach rumbled, I looked down at it then looked up at him and then began eating. There was every kind of food on the table. I ate until I couldn’t eat any more. He hardly touched his plate. One of the maids brought him a glass of ‘blood’. I looked at him in disgust, ‘’ Who’d you kill this time? Probably your previous auction pet “, I scoffed. He looked back at me and smiled. “ No, you’re my first dear“, he said. “ And also this isn’t human blood, it’s animal blood “. What?
