Aurora The Vampire’s Pet

Chapter 3

AURORA

MY God this is a huge house— a mansion. It had dark red walls with so many big windows outlined in a really dark grey that almost looked like black.

It was just so big. Bigger than what i have ever seen.

Upon spotting us, one of the guards stood up and opened the gates wide open as two slaves came out from the front door and quickly walked up to where master packed the car.

One of the slave came by the car door and opened it wide for master to step out. I was about to get my door when master rounded the car and came to my door.

He clipped the leash unto the clasp and asked me to step out with my leash in his hands.

The slaves didn’t at all look any younger than me.

“Welcome home,sire Theodore .” They both greeted in unison.

My master only nodded as he began to walk us through the front door.

My eyes automatically wandering all over the place the place as we stepped in. My eyes glanced up noticing the multiple chandeliers on the high ceiling.

The huge windows framed with sizable cream colored curtains.

As we passed through,I met eyes with few couple of pets and slaves dressed in decent clothes. Tho they seemed quite comfortable not like i imagined, either that or it’s just their clean clothes.

And after few turns, master still holding on to my leash, led us to spiral stairs and I followed carefully behind him. I didn’t want to crash into him like I did in front of the pet shop.

I found us in a hallway where master stopped in front of a closed door. He simply placed his right palm on either side of the door and a small beep was heard and the door was wide open before us.

Stepping in behind my master, I stared in awe as the too came in view. It was huge. A king size bed was pressed against the wall at the very end of it. It sheets a dark shade of green.

The walls of the room were off white color, accenting the deep brown curtains and couches surrounding a coffee table.

Darting my gaze, I spotted two other doors by the left end of the room. I was guessing one of the doors was a bathroom and the inter one I can’t quite figure it out yet.

It wasn’t like master was going to give me a tour, I should be grateful that he’s letting me wander my eyes around the room.

As I glanced to the other side of the room, I came in contact with the cage- well let’s just say it was bigger than the one I stayed in in the pet shop.

Understanding the message, i went towards the cage to let myself in but it was locked.

I turned around and found master watching me so I touched the cage indicating to him that it’s locked.

Master walked towards me and went for my collar instead. He loosened it and took it off me and he left it atop the cage hanging.

Noticing the mark the collar had left on my skin, master reached in and touched where the mark was on my neck causing me to suck in an in-deliberate air as his fingers made contact with my bare skin,tracing the evidence the collar left on my skin.

“We need to take care of this and you need a shower.” His deep velvety voice spoke.

His gaze still fixated on my neck but he isn’t touching the wounded skin on my neck anymore.

I just stood there quietly—why does he care about the marks on my neck? Does he not want to feed on me when I am like this?

Cutting me out of my train of thoughts he spoke again, “ There’s the bathroom.” He pointed at one of the doors by the left end.

“Everything you would need is inside a cabinet by the sink. After you shower there are some things I’d want to discuss with you and yes I’d get you set of clean clothes for you to wear before we get you new clothes so just leave the old ones in the toilet, Lauren would come get it.. I’ll just set them right here on the bed,you get them when you’re done.” Master added.

I just continued to stand there in utter shock and surprise— he was allowing me the liberty to shower and have new clothes? Is this some trick or am I dreaming?

So many questions flooding my head but instead I just said, “Thank you master.” And I began my trip to the bathroom.

Closing the door shut behind me as I pressed my back against it, I found myself sighing softly.

The bathroom was nearly as big as the room. It had a round tub and a shower and at the other side of the bathroom stood a sink and a mirror.

I made my way to the mirror and I gasped as I saw myself. My eyes,my grey eyes staring right at me. I had faint freckles across my nose and a little more on my cheeks.

My face covered in dried blood and dirt. Even my body was covered in dried blood and dirt not to mention the bruises and marks on my body. Some old and some new.

My red hair a complete mess,it was out of place and dirty.

I released a shaky breath as I looked away from the mirror cause if I keep staring at reflection in the mirror a little longer I could start crying.

I made my way to the shower and turned it on. I took off my tattered dirty oversized clothes and placed them on sink not knowing where to keep it plus it would be appropriate if I just left it on the bathroom floor.

I opened the cabinet by the sink jus as master told me and found a new set of toothbrush and toothpaste in their pack, a hair brush and a shampoo as well as a conditioner.

The hot water hit my bare skin and I hissed out of pain. I sure as hell didn’t think of the new worlds on my skin as I let the hot water ran on my skin like that.

But I didn’t was to move away from the shower because the hot water in a way was meant to clean out the wounds and also to soothe my aching bones.

Noticing the water that was running down the drain turned into a dirty brownish red—indicating that it’s as a result of the dried blood and dirt on my body.

I fetched some shampoo on my palms as I began to massage it all over my hair. I rinsed it off and apply the conditioner and I did the same as I carefully massage it into my scalp.

Leaving my hair smelling like Lilies, I went for the soap and carefully started washing my body with it.

Satisfied with how clean I feel, I stepped out of the shower and covered myself with the robe master hung on the hanger behind the bathroom door for me.

Not wanting to waste more time, I quickly headed for the door not even glancing at the mirror to look at my reflection— how clean I look.

Let’s face it, I didn’t know how long I was suppose to be in a shower. I just hope I didn’t upset master. God! How could I get so carried away like that.

I made a mental note making a promise not to get carried away like I did ever again if I wanted to stay alive as I made my way out of the bathroom and into the room.

Master wasn’t here so I automatically went to the bed where he kept the clean clothes and picked it up.

It was a yellow large sleeved T-shirt that covered so much of my body. I was basically swimming inside it. This was definitely not my size.

I took the robe back to the bathroom where I retrieved it.

The room was still empty when I got out, fiddling with the hem of my oversized sleeve, I walked to cage and sat in-front of it because it was still locked.

And I didn’t want to sit anywhere near the bed or couch. I don’t think I was permitted that area of the room.

I heard a soft knock on the door before a lady comes in with a trolley,pushing it inside as she walked in. Her eyes roaming around as if she was searching for someone—for me.

As soon as she spotted me, a small smile crept her lips. “There you are. Master Theodore asked me to get your dinner.” The lady looks quite young.

“My name is Lauren and I am the head of the pets. I am mostly in charge.. I make sure the other pets do their work accordingly.” She said as she placed the plate of spaghetti and a glass of juice in front of me .

My belly started rumbling at the sight of the food in front of me as my mouth begin to water.

Immediately Lauren headed to where the bathroom is, I started digging into my food.

Soft noises leaving me as I eat,packing lots of spaghetti in my fork before shoving it in my mouth. God was I not hungry. It felt like ages since I had food.

Lauren was out of the bathroom the same time I was going for the glass of juice. As the liquid hit my tongue I figured it was orange—it was orange juice.

“I am going to take this out.” She said, motioning to my tattered clothes in her hands.

I only nodded,bowing my head in shame.

Few minutes after Lauren left and I had finished with my plate of spaghetti and glass of orange juice, I found myself feeling sleepy.

I was getting ready to curl myself, still by the cage when I heard someone coming into the room.

Master came into view and immediately scanned through the room in search of me and I our eyes met. A sense of nervousness washed me and I took my gaze away from him.

He headed to the couches and waved at me to come over. “Come over here.” He said.

Oh dearie me! This is it. He fed me so he could feed from me.

I shakily pushed myself up and started walking to him as he just sat there unaffected, his expressions giving out nothing.
