Sold To A Vampire Master

Little Darren

Darren’s POV:

Many years ago…

I arrived at a huge mansion. My mother had just died and my father had some of his men to come and pick me up from my village. I didn’t know why though, he didn’t care about me while my mother was still alive, so why did he send people to come get me the moment she died.

I never understood their relationship, my mother was a human commoner while my father was the strongest Vampire Lord. How they met and got to make me still wasn’t clear.

My mother didn’t talk much about him but she always said she knew he loved her, which was questionable but hey, what do I know?

A few days after her death some men in suits came to me and told me they were from Lord Fredrick and that I should follow them. I couldn’t say no because, well they were an entourage for the strongest Vampire Lord who was feared by all around here. I followed them without asking much question.

After a long drive we had arrived at his huge mansion. One of the men opened my door for me and led me inside. All the rooms in the mansions were huge. We finally entered into a room that was kind of like a throne room and there he was; the strongest vampire ever.

He was seated on a large seat and then I moved towards him.

‘I received the sad news about your mother’s death’, he began.

I really didn’t know what to say. I wanted to tell him I didn’t want to be here but I didn’t know how to.

‘I know you don’t want to be here’, he said. Wait? Did he know what I was thinking?. ‘I do’, he said again. I was really shocked but what did I expect from the strongest vampire. ‘I promised your mother I would take care of you if anything ever happened to her’, he said to me.

I stared at him in anger.

‘You live here now, a maid will be assigned to you and if you ever need anything feel free to come to me’, he pointed out. ‘Take him to his room’, he finished.

One of the men began approaching me.

‘She was sick you know?’, I screamed. He looked down at me. ‘She was sick and you didn’t do anything about it’, I went on still angry.

I waited for a response from him but I didn’t get any. He chuckled then signaled for them to take me away.

Two of the men came to take me away. They took me to my room.

I had only spent a few hours there but I hated it there already. I wanted to leave but I didn’t know how to. I got to my room and the maid assigned to me told me she understood how I felt but she assured me it’ll get better with time. She was the only one that gave a s**t about me in that entire house, maybe she was just doing her job though but she made me feel safe in the mansion.

I was the illegitimate son of a vampire lord but I still had a human mother so I was part human, in fact at this part of my life I was mainly just a human.

Eventually my vampire powers began to surface and soon I could do all a vampire could do. But there was one thing I didn’t want to do; drink a human’s blood. I was mostly a human all my life, I had had paper cuts and I knew how they felt so I could imagine how painful it would be for a human if I plunged those fans into his neck. I also didn’t want to, I would never feel good killing another human.

I only ate normal food but at a point I began feeling very thirsty and it was as if my life force was draining.

One day my father sent for me. The maid that came to get me wasn’t my usual maid.

The maid came into my room and said, ‘Master Darren your father called for you’.

I sat up straight from my bed. ‘Alright’, I said as I stood up and followed her. I wondered where the maid assigned to me was. Lady Berta was the maid assigned to take care of me but my father just sent in another maid to get me. She was the only one who cared for me in the entire mansion, and was the only one I didn’t hate.

I was feeling concerned so I asked the maid if she knew the whereabouts of my assigned maid; Lady Berta. The maid suspiciously avoided the question which made me even more concern.

We finally got to my father’s room. The maid went in with me then excused herself back out.

‘Darren! I heard you haven’t taken any blood yet. Is that true?’, he began.

‘Yes father’, I stuttered.

‘Look at you! You’ve gotten pale. Weak. All that changes now’, he said. I didn’t understand what he meant by that. ‘Bring her in’, he said.

I turned back to look. Two vampires came in and they were holding a woman, they came close to me and dropped the woman on the floor beside me. My eyes widened when I noticed that it was Lady Berta.

‘This weakness of yours ends now’. Another man brought in a cup of fresh blood. ‘Bite her’, my father said.

What? My father knew I was having trouble drinking anyone’s blood, why would he bring the only person I cared about for me to bite.

Lady Berta was crying.

‘Father please!’, I screamed to him.

‘If you won’t do it. Then I’ll kill her myself’, my father said as he stood up from where he was seated.

‘ Father please. Don’t do this. Please! ’, I screamed again. I didn’t notice that tears had began falling from my face.

I looked into her eyes as she sat on the floor and prayed for her life.

‘It’ll be alright’, I tried to say to her but before I could she cried even louder then she screamed ‘Do it’.

What? I couldn’t. I couldn’t kill the only person that gave a s**t about me here. I turned to beg my father again but he was already right in front of me. He moved me over and picked up Lady Berta with one hand.

‘Father no!’, I screamed.

She closed her eyes as she awaited her death. My father brought her closer to himself with his giants fangs just an inch away from her neck.

‘Father wait!’, someone by the door screamed causing everywhere to grow silent. I looked over by the door to see who it was and it was Veronica.

There was only one person in the world that could actually make my father pause like that and it was Veronica. My father had many children but he loved Veronica. Even though she was little, she was smart and strong. Out of all his children she was the closest to his heart.

My father turned over to Veronica. ‘I’m kind of busy dear’, he said to her.

‘I know father but killing his maid won’t help him get over this flaw of his’, Veronica said. My father was listening to her. ‘Leave it to me father. I know how I can get him to get over it’.

My father looked at me who just stood there, he huffed and dropped Lady Berta to the ground. He smirked then walked back to his seats. ‘Be quick with it. Or I’ll kill them both’, he said as he sat back down.

Lady Berta stood up and ran out of the room. Veronica gestured for me to follow her and I did. She took me to her room which to be honest wasn’t so different from a research lab. It had different things that I had no idea what they were and she was running different tests.

She went into a fridge and brought out a bag of blood. She poured into a cup.

She handed the cup over to me, ‘Here, drink this ’, she said.

‘I can’t’, I stuttered.

‘First, if you don’t drink this you’ll die’, she said with almost no expression at all. ‘And also it’s not human’s blood’. I stared with my eyes wide opened and they couldn’t shut when she said this. What did she mean by, not human blood?

‘It’s animal’s blood. Take it before I lose my temper’, she said. I collected the cup from her and took a sniff of it.

‘It’s sheep blood, it’s the closest match to human’s and it has been processed and cleansed so drink it’, she said to me.

I looked at her and then I gulped it, I immediately began feeling better after I did. My pale skin began looking a little better. I went for the bag and emptied it, I was starving. I drank about 10 bags that day while she just sat down and watched.

‘Oh, okay that’s enough’, she said as I was about to take another bag.

‘Why’d you help me?’, I asked her.

She looked at me and smiled, ‘you’re my brother i***t’…

…Since then Veronica and I were the closest amongst all the Fredrick’s. She visited me often to drop off processed and cleansed sheep blood.

But now she didn’t only come to drop off blood. She gave me an invite to a party, by my father and she invited Maddie. I really didn’t see it ending well to be honest.

I sat in my study room as I thought of any possible way it wouldn’t be a disaster if Maddie came for the party. I thought about not bringing her at all but Veronica might mention her to father since she already gave an invite.

‘I have stacked up the blood Lady Veronica brought into the freezer Lord Darren’, Lady Berta said as she stood by the door.

‘Okay. Thank you’, I said back to her. She smiled and almost began leaving. ‘Lady Berta wait’, I said and she did.

‘Yes my Lord’.

‘Help me check on Maddie. And also phone the designer, we have to make sure the girl looks perfect for this party’.
