Pius ' POV
I stood in the balcony of my mantion with a cigarette in my mouth.
Smoking is not good. But it makes me feel better. I've learnt to keep myself in darkness. I've learnt to run away from people.
What happen to my mom, was a bad thing. What happen to her mom was even badder.
I never told anyone about my mother.
The Slave is no different. I looked down at garden of my house. The waterfall near the right side is where I always sat with my mother.
I looked at the waterfall thinking about my mom.
"Pi, baby. Come here." Mom called out to me.
I was a little boy then. I hid my hands behind my back and walked towards her.
" Show me your hands." She said to the little Pius.
I shook my head. No.
She signed. " Show me your hands baby." She said again this time more seriously.
Little Pius looked down and showed his hands to his mother. The little boys hands were scratched up and red.
" Now tell me Pi. Why did you hide your wounds from your mommy?" She asked him.
" I was scared." He replied in his little voice.
" Now baby I want you to understand one thing." She said holding his little hands together with hers.
"It feels good to tell people your secrets. It removes the weight from your heart." She said politely.
"OUCH." I hissed at the cigarette that burned my lips.
My lips would heal. But my heart wouldn't.
Losing my mother broke my heart. She was everything I had. I was her only son.
Penny and Milton are not my blood siblings. They are from my step mother. But that didn't stop me from loving them equally. Milton turned out to be a jerk but Penny, I treated her as my own. I loved her the most.
My father introduced me to smoking and drinking. "It's the best way to get rid of your problems. " he had told me.
It really was the best way to runaway. To get rid of all your problems. Sure,my organs are going to go bad. My lungs specially. But I can't help it. I'm addicted to it.
One thing I've learned in years is that ,You can't get rid of your addictions.
I walked past the long hallway. Penny had chosen a room here. I don't understand why, though. Milton and I both had rooms downstairs.
I walked down the main steps and entered the kitchen on the right side.
(His house is like Romana's house in Harvest Moon DS, You can find it on the Internet.)
It's time to drink something.
Liquor, No.
Beer, impressive, but No.
Water, Never.
Orange juice? Who keeps orange juice? Nope.
Blood...Cool.

I opened the door of my room with the glass of blood in my hand.
June was asleep. I walked in carefully and placed my cup by the plate of food.
I tucked myself inside the blanket. Whoever says that Vampires don't feel cold are mad. I don't know about the others but I sure do feel cold.
Wait a minute. Did I notice something and didn't react?
I sat up in the bed and looked at the table.
The plate of food I had kept was full. Untouched.
A surge of anger swallowed me. She didn't eat the food I kept for her. She disobeyed me! She's trying to show me her anger.
I got up from the bed and in Vampire speed I reached to her side.
I grabbed her wrist and pulled her in a sitting position jerking her awake.
"AHHHH. " she groaned loudly. "AHHHH. Ahhh. Ahhh!" She groaned again and with her free hand she cluched her chest.
"Ahhh. " she groaned again and started crying.
Oh God. She's wounded! Oh God. How could she move to the plate without any help! Oh God. I'm such a jerk.
She sobbed cluching her chest. I left her hand and she brought it to her chest too. Her heart beat fast and her breath was taken in as if it hurt.
I have no idea in how much pain she was in. And I caused it even more.
"Ahhh." She cried again. I knelt down beside her and tried to touch her.
She leaned away wincing in pain. Fear was clear in her eyes.
"I'm sorry." I wispered.
"Ahhh." Was her reply before she went into a coughing fit.
I ran towards the table and picked the glass I saw there. I didn't think about another thing before reaching by her side in Vampire speed.
I gently placed my hand on her back. She coughed twice before she stopped as I placed the cup to her lips.
She took a sip before opening her eyes and looking inside the cup.
She pushed my hand with the cup away. Some drops fell to the panties she was wearing.
Her panties turned red where the drops fell.
"You got your period? " was the first thing I asked her.
She didn't reply and resumed her coughing fit. She pointed at the cup in my hands as she coughed and I looked at the cup.
I brought it closer and looked inside the white coffie cup.
Blood.
I stuck my tongue out and hit my hand to my head. I had brought warm blood with me from the kitchen.
"Sorry. So sorry. I didn't notice. " I said and ran out of the room.
I ran in Vampire Speed to the kitchen. I got a glass of water and rushed back to the room.
Penny was on her way upstairs when she saw me rushing. I swear I saw her smile.
I closed the door behind me and I reached June.
She coughed and her face scrunched up in pain.
Tears fell from her eyes. I forced some water down her gullet and set the glass on the table.
I returned beside her and rubbed her back. She stopped coughing and started groaning in pain.
I set a pillow behind her back and made her relax over it.
"Ahhh." She said softly as tears fell from her eyes. I wiped them away and kissed her head.
"I'm sorry okay. My anger makes me lose control. I didn't know what I was doing." I apologized.
She opened her beautiful eyes to look at me.
She coughed again twice and then turned to look at me.
"You don't have to apologize to me. I'm just a slave. I'm nothing. You don't even have to help me. You could've just let me die instead of saving me to be your s*x toy." She said and started crying.
I felt bad that I made her feel like that. I had to apologise for my behaviour yesterday.
"I'm sorry about yesterday. My sister told me that you were talking to her." I said looking at June's expression.
She winced when I said yesterday. Tears fell from her eyes. I cupped her face and made her look at me. I wiped her tears away.
"My sister was feared from everyone who met her. I'm happy that you talked to her. Accepted her. It's a big thing to me. Thank you. And I'm sorry that I raped you." I said.
She winced at the thought of me raping her. It was amazing but it could have been gentler. I could have done it with her accepting it. I could still do it. I could make her fall in love with me.
What?
No....no...no...that's stupid.
I shook my head and left her face. No she's a human. A pathetic human. Valor's marry strong Vampires. They don't marry weak pathetic humans.
Something has happened to me. She's doing something to me.
No wonder I've started having thoughts like this. I've never felt like this for a human before.
She must be supporting a witch. She must be it herself.
I have to keep my distances with this human. I'll have to be me again. I'll have to push her out of my mind.
She's been here a day and I've already thought of loving her? I must be sick. I'll have to go and ask my sister.
First of all I have to stop being so loving.
June's POV.
I scanned the room for the tray of food. My stomach growled loudly in response. I looked up at my master. He had changed into a new black shirt and blue jeans. His black shirt revelled his arms. He had great muscles that showed of from the way he stood.
He was looking down at me. But he seemed to be deep in thought . His hands were behind his back. His black hair was pushed in the front so that it could fall on his eyes.
His expression suddenly changed to a shocked one. I tilted my head trying to figure out what he was thinking. He suddenly looked worried. I was about to ask him what he was doing until his expression changed to anger.
The anger that I had started to get afraid of.
"I will send in a slave to feed you. Your getting good food today but that won't last for long. I'll send one of the wolves. So that he can help you." He said angrily walking away.
What happen to the good side of this man? The loving side?
"The wolf will help you into proper clothes. You'll sleep in the floor on my mat. Do you get that Slave?" He said.
I frowned and tilted my head. That was my habit.
My bones were broken and I was sick. He wanted me to sleep on the ground.
"Answer me ,slave." He said scowling at me.
I gulped thinking about the slap. I placed my hand on my cheek and nodded my head.
His scowl grew darker and more scarier. He wanted an answer.
"Ye-Yes Master." I stammered. Then I remembered. Was he going to give me a blanket. It's cold here. I could use one. Could I take one without his permission? Let me ask for permission.
"Can I take a-" Thud.
I didn't complete my sentence. The door closed before I could.
Silence. My best friend.
But what happen to Pius? He was good to me for some time. Listened to my mom's story. Comforted me. He hurt me, Yes. It pained like hell but he apologized. He was confusing me. He's bipolar or something?
I looked at the bed. There was a button up shirt lying beside my legs.
I tried my best to move it towards me with my leg. It sure is cold here.
"Damn. " I said.
"Need some help?" I heard a voice say. I turned my head to look at the person who said that.
I couldn't see who it was. It was too dark near the door.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" I said panicking and covering my self.
Right now I only wore my panties. I needed clothes.
"Master Pius sent me here. He told me that you needed help. Don't worry its me. Milo." He said.
Milo? Yeah. Milo. My friend. The wolf from yesterday.
He closed the door behind him. He came closer out of the dark that surrounded the door. And that's when I examined his face.
He had a long scar on his face that begun from the left side of his cheek till the right side of his forehead crossing over his nose.
It had turned white but it looked bad.
He smiled and then looked down frowning.
"What happen to your face, Milo?" I asked.
He signed and came closer and stood near my bed.
He wore a blue blank shirt that had the words WOLF written on the right side corner. His black pants suited him awfully well. His white hair was tangled in knots and sticking out from various places. And his eyes. As beautiful as ever.
He looked at the white button up shirt and then at me.
I blushed and looked away as he realised that I needed the clothes. He picked the shirt and gave it to me.
I slowly started opening the buttons he examined me as I did my work. I slipped into the shirt and closed the buttons quickly. It was airy and not touching my chest or my stomach.
I looked at Milo. He seemed to be frowning I raised my eyebrow at him.
"You look worst." He said. I looked away with embarrassment.
"You were so pretty yesterday. Look what happen to you in a day. Did Pius do this to you?" He asked.
I shook my head. "Cole did." I wispered. But I didn't want to explain thing to him so I changed the topic. "But what happen to you? Who scratched your face?" I asked him.
He winced and looked at the food. He walk over to it and brought it to me. I folded my legs as he sat in front of me and gave me the tray. I took it in my lap and started eating. I sure was hungry.
Milo didn't steal a glance at me as I ate the food. Pius had told me that it was the last time I was getting this food.
It was the first time too.
