The Vampire King's pet

The escape

            Allison's pov:

            I was in pain as I laid on my bed. The King had left me a few minutes ago; after his punishment. I can't believe he had applied lotion to my burning butt. Honestly, I couldn't believe that I had allowed him to. But I was in pain and the lotion did help to soothe it. I couldn't live like this anymore. Not being able to voice my opinion and being treated like a dog. I knew I had to plan my escape and I needed to do it now while the King was gone. Who knows when I will be left alone again.

            I slowly got off the bed and I could feel the burn in my butt even with the cream. I knew that I had to get up though, before anyone came in. So I quickly got a bag and put clothes in it. I needed to go to the kitchen to get some food, it was going to be risky, but I figured I could just tell them the King sent me. I quickly grabbed my bag and opened my bedroom door. I looked around and didn't see anybody, so I quickly made my way to the kitchen. Luckily there was only a few slaves in the kitchen when I entered. I swiftly put my bag down behind a chair so it wouldn't be seen. "I am the King's pet, he told me to get some food. May I have some privacy please." I asked innocently. They looked suspicious, but couldn't go against me so they left the kitchen. 

            Once they were gone I quickly grabbed some loaves of bread, some meat and some bottles of water. I knew I needed more food, but I couldn't risk someone realizing I was not in my room. So, I stuffed the food and drinks in my bag and left the kitchen. I tried to remember where the doors were to leave the castle and remembered there was a side door off of the kitchen for deliveries. I couldn't help but laugh a little as I couldn't believe my luck. I was going to escape. 

               I made my way to the door and saw a guard not too far away. "Of course." I said in a whisper to myself. What was I going to do now? I had to think of a plan quickly. An idea struck me, so I picked up a pan on the stove and hid behind the door. I then yelled "Help!" The guard came running into the kitchen and I hit him over the head with the pan. I knew that since he was a vampire he wouldn't be out for long, so I immediately ran out the door. I looked around wondering where to go now. I some a wooded area a few hundred yards from where I stood and as quietly and quickly as I could; I ran to the tree line. 

            I kept running as the trees passed me by my legs were hurting as well as my bottom from the punishment, but I kept going. Eventually I found a road, I knew I needed to stay off the road incase they come looking for me. So, I snuck back into the woods and followed the road with the trees to hide me. I walked a few miles before I saw some vampire guards coming down the road in an SUV. I ducked down behind a bush and held my breath. I sighed as they went passed me. I knew I needed to be careful now, since they obviously know I am missing and searching for me.

            I knew I needed to find a place to hide and rest since the sun was setting now. It was also getting a bit chilly so I knelt down and got a sweater out of my bag and put it on. I continued walking in the trees until I found a shed. I looked around as saw that I was at a vampire residence; the house was a little further to my left. I hurried over to the shed and hid inside it. I was getting hungry, so I pulled out some of the bread and meat and made a sandwich. I also took out a water bottle. I drank and ate and was feeling tired so I laid down with my bag as my pillow. I slowly fell asleep.

            I woke the next morning to a stiff neck. My body was so sore from sleeping on the cold, hard floor of the shed. I slowly got up and ate and drank some more food and water before I slowly opened the door to the shed. I could see some guards questioning the slaves and their master. I slowly closed the shed door and could feel my heart beating rapidly in my chest. I was going to get caught. I could hear guards coming my way to check the shed before they moved on to another house. I went to the back of the shed and tried to cover myself up as best as I could. I held my breath as one of the guards opened the door.

            They couldn't see me. I was never so happy in my life as I was when they shut the shed door and I heard orders for them to go onto the next place to search. I stayed hidden for about twenty minutes before I got up to check if I could leave. As I opened the door a guard grabbed me around the neck smirking at me. "You really thought we couldn't hear your heart beating out of your chest in there?" Oh no, I was caught. I could see the guards all around me and knew that there was no way to escape them.

            The guard carried me over his shoulder and threw me into the back of the SUV and got in himself beside me. Another two guards got into the front seats and drove off back to the castle. The guard next me turned to look at me and said, "The King is very angry with you that you tried to escape. I hate to see the punishment you will receive after this." Then all the guards started laughing at me. I hung my head and admitted defeat. Scared for what awaits me back at the castle.

            When we got back to the castle I could see the King and his brother waiting for us. King Nicholai looked very angry and a bit disappointed. While his brother Stefan was smirking at me. I sighed as the door to the SUV was opened for me to get out. The King grabbed my arm and it looked like he was trying to control himself. "You will be escorted up to your room and there will be a guard posted outside of your door until I get up there and decide what I am going to do to you." I looked him straight in the eye and with all the strength I had left in me I said.

            "You will not ever touch me again. Go to Hell!"
