The Human Bride

Chapter 4

Rosalind sprinted back to the room which she woke up in. Bursting into the room she ran to the and jumped upon the large soft bed, wrapping her arms around the big comfy pillow and buried her face into the black cloud-like material and screamed in embarrassment. She rolled on her back still hugging the dark pillow and gazed up at the ceiling and began to laugh. Once Rosalind has finished her laughing fit she sat up and wiped the tears she had in her eyes away, she peered out the window. The sun as almost in the middle of the sky, the grey clouds were like a thick blanket the had wrapped themselves around the sun. The garden was blanketed in the greenest grass and the prettiest flowers of many colours that she couldn’t even imagine. She got up off the bed and her feet landed flat on the floor, she wiggles her toes adjusting to the cold temperature of the floor and slowly padded to the window and picked herself up and slid on the to the enlarged window seat. It had a large purple cushion at the base and other black and white smaller cushions and several blankets too that she could wrap herself in them several times over. And so she did wrap herself in the large fluffy black blanket around herself and curled up and looked back out the window. Rosalind noticed a caramel coloured ball of fur running up towards the trees and the far end of the garden. Rosalind smiled she knew what it was although she had never seen one in her life Mikhail told her about them. It was a dog. When Mikhail has told her about them, she was bouncing with excitement and exclaimed rather loudly that she wanted one in the day and that it would be her best friend. Giggling to herself she remembered Mikhail's reply after he clamped his hand over her mouth to make her shut up, his eyes and nose scrunched up as if he was in pain at the noise that came from her mouth.

A knock at the door awoke Rosalind from her nap. Her pale ginger eyebrows scrunched together in complete confusion, when did she fall asleep? She never normally napped during the day, it was too dangerous especially if Mikhail wasn't around because the guards would feed on her and others whenever they pleased, they worsted for it was Ronny. Mikhail had almost killed him for touching her multiple times. She unwrapped herself from the blanket and slip clumsily from the window seat and walked tiredly to the door. Rosalind twisted the knob and pulled the large heavy door open to reveal Mikhail and a very nervous boy, the same one she found Mikhail with this morning in the bedroom down the hall. The boy had slightly tanned skin, messy brown hair and forest green eyes that almost seemed to glow. Once Rosalind realised who it was her face almost looked as if she would explode with how red her face was.

"Rosalind is it okay if we come in?" Mikhail asked after he cleared his thoughts, they only thing Rosalind could do was nod as she was not sure if she was able to trust her voice to actually work. Mikhail came in first and the brown-haired boy quickly trailed after him. Rosalind closed the door behind them and then turned to face them with her back pressed firmly on the door just in case she needs a quick escape.

"I would like to introduce you to my beloved, Noah" Mikhail said uneasily and Noah waved awkwardly. He let out a small 'Hello' and buried his head in Mikhail's chest in embarrassment. Rosalind's eyes grew wide with surprise, this was not what she was expecting. She didn't even know Mikhail was gay for crying out loud! Rosalind moved to sit on her bed, legs crossed.

"When did you two meet? How did you meet?" Questions flew from Rosalinds' mouth at a million miles per hours. Mikhail raised his hands open, palms facing Rosalind trying to stop her from talking as he wasnt able to answer her quest that fast.

"Wait a second there Rose, I can't answer the questions that fast" he chuckled at her. Her face grew a pale shade of red in embarrassment and she mumbled an apology. Mikhail sat down on the chair that was placed in the desk with the mirror on it at the back, it also had a small glass jar with hair tyes and hair grips in it most which were black which would stick out like a sore thumb in her ginger hair. Next to the jar was a hairbrush, an old fashioned one were the back and handle are silver and the cream coloured bristles were hard but felt soft to the touch, and next to that was a pin tailed comb.

Once Mikhail sat down he pulled Noah on to his lap, his bottom-placed on Mikhail's' left knee, his leg swung over is right and Noahs' head laid on Mikhail's' left shoulder. Wrapping his arm around Mikhail placed a light kiss on Noahs' forehead before looking a Rosalind to answer her fountain of questions.

"So what your first question?" Mikhail asked

"When did you two meet and how did you two meet?" she asked cautiously

"well to explain that is going to have to explain some other thing to you first," Mikhail said looking over at Noah who was looking over at the younger girl who was sat on the bed thinking that she was too young and innocent to hear such things but thought better not to say anything because he knew that Mikhail practically raised the young girl. "I never told you before about the different systems there are for humans and not all of them are nice to them as you know. There are four sectors that a human could be sorted into and they are; feeders, breeders, pleasure and the stock makers. Their jobs are pretty obvious, the feeders are both male and female and their job is fairly simple - it is to be food, however, there is the odd occasion that their master would f**k them" Rosalind and Noah both cringed at Mikhail's' words knowing the meaning behind them, that anytime coupling for a human who is a feeder often forced "the vampire race need specific blood groups and blood quality, so all human get tested when are born and brought in to the sorting facility, the blood groups are O+, O-, AB- and B- which are the most nutritious blood groups. At fourteen the ones with this blood group, females only, get tested for the gene RH228 if they have over 55 per cent then they are sent to breeder school, however, with you I couldn't do that with you I don't know why but I just couldn't do that to you there was something inside me that made me want to protect you" Mikhail looked into Rosalind's' dark green eyes that were slightly filled with tears, happy ones. Noah slowly sat up to adjust where he was sat on Mikhail's' lap and looked at Rosalind and said

"You know Rosalind, Mika has always thought of you as his baby sister. I constantly got phone calls from him telling me about you and the cute things you had said or did" Rosalind's' face went from happy to embarrassed within a matter of half a second

"As I was staying, the next group is the pleasure and they get sorted into this category if the human hasn't got a decent blood group or a high-level RH228 but they have to have a curvy body and be physically attractive to the assessor, that's where I met Noah" A gasp came from Rosies' mouth, it definitely not what she was expecting "The last one is the stock makers, which I personally think is an awful name but besides the point, is when the human does not fit into any of the categories go here and they get paired up with other humans and usually if they produce good feeders or breeders or pleasure pets they will stay together until the female is no longer able to produce children" Both Noah and Rosalind looked down at the floor solemnly. They never in their lives expected the system to be so cruel and so angry.
