My master

Zoe watched as Amber walked towards madam Elisabeta, bending towards her to whisper something into her ear, madam Elisabeta had given Amber a small nod, before she walked back towards Zoe, pulling her hands with force, as she signaled her to walk forward, Zoe felt the urge to fall, but resisted.

Everything around her felt it was swirling, like a plane about to crash, nothing looked stabled to her eyes, it all felt indifferent to her, "slow down Amber you're making me feel dizzy" Zoe whispered as she tried to overcome all the urges that came back at her to fall, Zoe shook her head numerous times in an effort to dispel the dizziness that swirled round her, but it became even worst, 'what's happening to me'

Closing her eyes Zoe finally gave into the dizziness, feeling her body give up with no more strength left in her, as she let her body fall freely, about hitting the ground when suddenly she felt someone catch her hold of her, 'I didn't hit the ground?' that was the first thing that came to her mind. Zoe tried to see who it was but her eyes and mind were too fuzzy, closing her eyes she finally fell deep into sleep state. A butler entered the store as he approached the vampire that stood, holding the unconscious girl in his hand, bowing his head the butler said "the limo is ready my lord" the vampire waved his hand and gestured the butler to leave, throwing the finished apple away, as he carried the girl with his two hands(bridal style).

"Umm… My lord," the butler said in a confused manner, "What!?" "My lord… you can't carry a slave in your arms, it's improper for a royal such as yourself-"

"I'm not bothered with that, so why should you be bothered with it?" he said in a cold tone, the butler not wanting to anger his lordship or get his head chopped off kept quiet, knowing that whenever his lordship made up his mind about something it could never be changed. The butler opened the door as he let his master pass before he did.

Zoe's eyes slowly shot open as she gradually regained her consciousness, 'what happened?' her memories started to come back to her, 'i… fainted…. I fainted!' her head switched side to side as she looked around her environment realizing that she was in a moving vehicle, as she quickly sat up.

She sat close to the window of the vehicle, were she could only see passing trees.

Zoe watched observing the dark shades of the windows as her eyes trailed down the royal blue, soft haired décor on the lower doors of the vehicle. Beside her sat a white classy leather table with Champaign bottles on them, which was filled with red wine, 'is that blood or wine?' Zoe thought to herself as she continued to stare at it. Next to it sat pure diamond glass cups engraved in blue classic symbols that spelt out the letter V. The seats were pure white and they sat across each other, the seats were soft and comfortable to sit on as they were well-kept.

Her crystal blue eyes trailed across the vehicle to see more of the beautiful furnished limo, but stopped when she caught sight of another jade green emerald eyes staring at her.

Zoe completely froze when she caught sight of him watching her persistently, "you've finally regained consciousness, I see…" he said before turning his head to look out of the vehicle window, it was the man she saw at the store 'the vampire that caught me escaping, it was all because of him I couldn't escape! *Hmp*' Zoe thought as she took in every single details of the man that sat across her but with a two meter distance to divide them, although the limo seat was longer than a meter, he sat at the middle, 'before I didn't get a good look at him now's my chance' she thought as she bit on her lower lip.

He had short dark hair reaching his shoulders, although it looked rough it was nicely styled, Zoe could see how handsome he was, with the silhouette like a shadow. Sharp jaw and cheekbones, brooding eyebrows with some of his inky black hair that fell on them, his eyes had a dash of black eyeliner, 'what kind of vampire uses eyeliner'. He had a little, black, diamond, ring on the left, index finger and a black ear ring to match them. He wore a dark red glove on his right hand.

He didn't speak to her and she had no voice to speak, not after seeing madam Elisabeta who had begged for her life to be speared. And even though it was only her hands that was unbound when she was unconscious, she still felt as if they were still being bound by the iron chains that had left marks on her skin in the presence of this man who sat across her.

Discreetly making sure he wasn't seeing, she looked from the corner of her eyes to see his leg crossed one leg over the other. His face looked through the window, looking at the view outside as they passed through the hills and forests.

Before he could catch her staring at him, she quickly turned her head away, but subtly to make sure he didn't notice her or rather forgot that she existed. What Zoe didn't know was that the man had been more than aware of her presence in the vehicle. Though his eyes were looking outside the window, when the girl shifted slightly away from him, his eyes moved from right to left to watch her.

While Zoe tried to be quiet, her stomach had different ideas. Her stomach growled once, then twice before going on for the man to tap the front window to gain the driver's attention. Unlike some who had only one drivers, this man had two men sitting in the front of the limo. "When was the last time you had anything to eat", A little taken aback from the sudden question, she turned her face to see him already looking at her, Zoe recalled that when she was with madam Elisabeta she had nothing to eat, she hadn't eaten for two days straight, even the little dirty bread that she ate couldn't satisfy her hunger. "I haven't eaten since the last two days"

Seeing him not answer but continue to stare at her, Zoe looked away from him. The more he stared at her, the more it got uncomfortable. 'Stop staring at me!' Zoe wanted to shout at him for staring at her, but she wasn't courageous enough to do so. There was just something about this man that made her believe that it wouldn't be right to speak back at him, the last thing she wanted was for her blood to be sucked dry.

Best was ignoring him and she ignored him until the limo came to a halt. When the limo stopped, he opened the door without waiting for the butler, as he forcefully stepped down, with the door almost hitting the lower man to step aside bowing his head. "Don't let her out of your sight" he said to the butler before walking away and soon went out of sight, the butler sighed out of relief before closing the limo doors.

Some minutes passed as Zoe stared into the clear, dark blue sky that started getting darker and darker by the minutes that passed, Zoe thought of all possible way of escape as she looked through the window, watching as a dark figure approach the limo door, when the door opened she saw that it was the vampire who had sat across her, he entered the limo, but instead of sitting across her he sat right next to her, with a small bowl of grapes and strawberries in his hands, "do you want any of this?" he asked, his back leaning against the cushioned seat, not seeing Zoe answer he started eating the grapes from the bowl he held on his hands, "What's your name?" he asked taking another grape as he put it into his mouth.

"Z-z, I mean Zoe" she corrected as she gave out her full name.

"Zoeee…" he tested out her name as the name rolled out of his tongue, "I am Eliot Vincent and from today on you are my pet and you will obey and serve me unconditionally, you are to answer to no one but me, do you understand," It was a question but to Zoe it sounded more like a demand 'what does he mean by unconditionally, do I not have my freedom?, I thought I was free'. Receiving no response from her, he shifted closer to her.

She shifted a little back when he approached her, her feet's not moving too far due to the chain which almost made her twist her ankle if it weren't for the limo door that was right behind her. When her back touched the seat's armrest, the man came to hover above her.

He placed the palm of his hand on the window right next to her head. His body leaning forward to see the girl's eyes widened as he intently stared down at her "I noticed you trying to escape at madam Elisabeta's store. What was that about?" he asked her. Not wanting to take any chances, she answered by keeping a neutral face while internally there was a burning flame, "I-i d... don't know what you're talking about."

"Is that so..?" the closer he got, the more she tried to move until he placed another hand on the other side of her head, now even closer than before, "Where do you think you are going little kitten? Answer me before I do something you wouldn't like," he taunted her, his eyes piercing into the very depths of her soul, "Your heart has been beating loudly ever since we arrived here," there was a smile on his face but it wasn't friendly in the slightest way.

Zoe didn't know what and how to answer it. Since the time she had started to devise a plan of escape in her head, Zoe hadn't realized that her heartbeat had been fluctuating up and down for the man who had bought her to notice.

"Can I answer the question for you?" she heard him ask, the creepy smile that had made it's was on his face still remained on his face. Eliot Vincent was a handsome man and Zoe had agreed on it the first time that he had caught her trying to escape, but no matter how handsome he was, there was something very dangerous that hid behind his emerald green eyes. Maybe it was some kind of evilness that he hid behind them. She continued looking, her eyes staring into his.

"You stare at me more freely than a normal person would. It seems like you have no fear of begin killed. Shall we send you back to madam Elisabeta's store for discipline?" The vampire's tone was calm but he picked up traces of fear and worry that showed in the girls eyes, which was clear as the night sky, "…Are you scared?" he smirked, his eyes crinkling with sheer amusement.
