“Precious, wake up, it’s time to work.” The girl opened her eyes with the sound of her Master’s voice near her ear. Her body ached and the memories from last night flooded her mind in seconds. She was, yet again, in his bedroom; her naked body covered by red satin sheets. She was used to this by now, but the pain in her neck caused by her Master’s blood-draining was something that still made her shred some tears. “Up, now!” he wasn’t even done saying the sentence when he kicked her out of the bed and into the floor. She picked herself up quickly, gathering her clothes in the process before he got angrier. “Yes, Master” she muttered while putting on her maid’s uniform. She could feel his gaze all over her while she was trying to cover it with the skimpy dress she had to wear for her daily duties. As soon as she put her shoes on, she ran to the door avoiding all eye contact, hoping he wouldn’t say anything else; her hand was already in the handle when he decided to speak up again. “Oh, Precious” she forced herself to turn around and face her master.  “Yes, Master Elias?” she said with her eyes fixed on the floor. He chuckled lightly seeing the effect he had on her, “I expect you back here once you are done with your responsibilities.” She just gave a small nod before leaving. She took a deep breath once she was on the other side of the door, not noticing that she wasn't breathing until now. She went downstairs quickly and into the kitchen where there was already movement preparing for the activities of the night. As soon as she arrived, the room went quiet for a couple of seconds,  sympathetic and angry looks were mixed between the staff. She understood it. She was master’s favorite pet, the one he always wanted around to do as he pleased. A lot of people thought of her as a slut, if only they knew how disgusted she felt with herself whenever he was done. How she took breaks now and then just to go hide in the closet and cry.  “Hey Precious” a woman in her mid 40’s with red curly hair and chubby cheeks approached her placing her hand lovingly on her elbow. “Are you ok? Are there any wounds?”. Honey knew perfectly well how she was feeling, when she was younger she used to be Master’s pet; she was soon left aside when she got older and fatter, becoming instead the Head of Staff.  “I just… really need a shower.” she whispered, holding back the tears that were desperate to escape her eyes. Honey nodded understanding instantly what she meant.  “Ten minutes. I’ll cover for you. Go! Quickly!” she didn’t need to say it twice, she ran to her bedroom quickly and jumped into the shower, letting the hot water scold her skin. She rubbed the soap thoroughly with the hope of feeling less dirty, less broken, to no avail. After she was done, she went to the mirror and looked into her reflection. Her once bronce skin was getting paler every day. Working for a vampire coven meant being awake at night and never seeing the sun. Her green eyes stared at her without any sight of recognition, it has been a while since she last felt like a real person. She passed her fingers through her black curls that reached her lower back and brushed her teeth before heading out to the bedroom to grab a fresh set of clothes. The night went quickly with small chores to do, and fortunately she didn’t see the Master during that time. After finishing with the silverware polishing, she returned to the kitchen only to be received by screaming.  “I don’t CARE if you have never cleaned dishes before, you are doing that now and end of the discussion! Oh Precious! Good thing you’re here. Come girl, come! Here. Let me introduce you to Babydoll; master just brought her in.” Honey approached her dragging a beautiful girl that must be around her 20’s, short blond messy hair framed her tanned face with brown eyes and full lips. She was very thin but athletic, an angry aura engulfed her whole body.  Precious smiled out of courtesy, “Welcome”. Oh if looks could kill, Babydoll was sending daggers her way as if Precious had just insulted her whole family. “Welcome? WELCOME! f**k you, f**k you all! You’re all crazy! I’m f*****g out of here!” She screamed while pulling her arm from Honey’s hold and stormed towards the exit. “Oh no, I wouldn’t…” Honey wasn’t able to finish that sentence before Master appeared out of nowhere and slapped Babydoll hard across her face, making her stumble to the floor.  “And where exactly do you think you’re going?” he said slowly, daring her to keep her attitude; a dare she took gladly and dumbly.  “You cannot keep me here! I’m not your f*****g slave.” “You are now. Besides, where would you go? My coven slaughtered your pathetic village, you should be grateful that we spared your life.”  “You f*****g monster” SLAP! Before anyone could react he yanked her by her hair and slapped her one more time before letting her fall into the floor once again.  “You will address me as ‘Master’ or ‘Master Elias’. You will learn your place soon, don’t worry. I’m being nice with you because you’re new but do not test my patience. Precious! She will be sharing a room with you, make sure she gets settled soon.” He said the last thing staring directly at Precious. “Yes master” he stared at her body for some seconds before smirking and leaving. Precious quickly ran to Babydoll and touched her shoulder lightly. “Are you ok?” “Don’t touch me” she said, moving her shoulder away. “Let me look” Honey appeared in front of her with a stern look. She grabbed her chin and firmly but carefully lifted her face to see the consequences of Master Elias strength. “It wasn’t so bad, there’s no blood but it will leave a nasty bruise. Be careful with that attitude, girl, or you won’t last long.” She left without a second look, while Babydoll stayed there with silent tears sliding through her already red cheeks. “Come, let me take you to our room so you can clean up” Precious walked in front of her and stood by the door waiting for her to get up. After some time of meditating and understanding her defeat, Babydoll stood up and followed her in complete silence. Once they arrived at the small room, Precious grabbed a clean uniform from the closet and put it in the empty bed. “This will be your bed. I think we’re almost the same size, so you can use my uniform tomorrow while we get you your own set…” she suddenly found herself being interrupted by Babydoll’s desperate crying.  Precious walked to her and hugged her. “I… I shouldn’t be here… this is illegal… this is… I just… I… how can this…” her crying didn’t let her finish her sentences. Precious just held her, letting her wet her uniform with her tears. Once her cries became a soft whimper. Precious sat her down in her bed and she sat next to her. “None of us are here voluntarily. You know? I don’t know where your village used to be but this is vampire territory.  Human slavery is legal here. I’m… I’m sorry for what happened to your village, I was brought here since I was a child, I barely remember my own family.” “Was your village destroyed as well?” “I… can’t remember. I don’t think so. Sometimes I dream about my family. Nothing but good memories. I think I was kidnapped.” “And have you tried to escape? To go find your family?” “I tried when I was younger. But soon you learn how ruthless vampires can be with their rebel servants. One time I managed to get far in the Dark Woods and then I discovered that… I had no idea where to run to. I don’t remember where I used to live. Those small seconds of doubt were enough for Master Elias to find me and drag me back. After that he put me on these...” she extended her arms so the two golden bracelets in her wrists were visible “...if I ever try to cross the limits of the Vampire’s territory these things would send an electrical charge through my body that would kill me. That’s the last time I tried to escape.” “How long ago was that?” Babydoll said mesmerized by the beauty of the bracelets.  “Right when I turned sixteen. So that would be… like six years ago. Since then, Master Elias has kept a close eye on me and that’s when he decided my nickname: Precious. He said I was a treasure that he would rather destroy than have anyone else have.” We stayed quiet for a couple minutes, letting the darkness of our situation sink in.  “And what the f**k with those nicknames. My name is not Babydoll! I’m Summer!” Precious grabbed her hand sweetly.  “I know, Master has a sick way of treating her female slaves. I do recommend not saying your real name in front of him because he was being honest, you know?” she said while pointing at her bruised face “he went easy on you”. Summer’s eyes grew wide at this declaration, then her eyes softened at the realization of the statement. “What… what has he done to you?” Precious retreated her hand slowly and stared at the floor trying to hold back the tears, taking a deep breath she faced Summer again with a soft smile. “I’ll tell you what: Master Elias never comes to the servant chambers. What about we refer to each other by our real names only when we are in this room?” “That sounds good,” Summer said with a smile that never reached her eyes. “And your name is?” “Aubrey, my real name is Aubrey.”
