Pool Trouble

"Trouble?"I rephrase. "Already?"

"What? You don't believe me?"he asks in an austere tone.

"But that isn't fair... I was only looking for the dining room which you gave me no directions to."

"I told you downstairs."

"That wasn't specific enough."

"Even if... Does this vicinity resemble one?"

"Well no but--"

"I have a few punishments in mind,"he says with a stroke of his chin.

"Punishments?! That's so ridiculous Enzo! Do I look like some kind of sex toy--"

I pause when I notice what he's doing.

He's bent over and peeking underneath my night gown. "What are you doing!"I snap and slap his hand away.

"I'm thrilled to see that I guessed your panty size correctly,"he beams.

"What?"

"They fit perfectly, right?"

Well this awkward.

"I guess so,"I mutter.

"Tommorow I'll guess your bra size,"he smiles and examines my chest. "From what I'm seeing it shouldn't be so big--"

"Okay that's enough."

"Alright then... So back to your punishment."

"No! Look at my arm!"I cry and show him the washed out wound.

"Oh dear... I forgot about that."

"You really want me to undergo punishment with this?"

He starts to laugh. "Desperately looking for a way out of this, huh... Well you got me... Let's go to the kitchen."

He takes my hand and leads me out of here. We take few twists and turns until we get there.

It's a big space with a long rectangular counter in the middle. The walls are surrounded by fancy glass cabinets too.

To my surprise he hoists me unto the counter and approaches one of the cabinets before taking out some cotton wool and a bottle of disinfectant.

He pours it unto the piece of wool and approaches me.

The moment he takes my arm I flinch from the pain I'm about to receive. "Don't worry... It will only sting a little."

He presses it on to the wound and to my surprise it doesn't even hurt anymore. Then he takes some time work it in before finally taking it off.

"Done,"he says and throws the piece of wool into the waste bin.

He gestures for me to follow him and I do so. He then leads me into a room with an arched entrance which I quickly recognize as the dining room.

The large table in the middle and all the mouthwatering delicacies right untop of it.

"Is this all for me?"

He nods with a smile.

Tonight Hilda... You feast like a king.

~~

I can't sleep.

I don't know if it's because of my aching tummy or my nightmares coming back.

I've been tossing and turning all night yet in such a comfortable bed.

I suddenly get a soothing feeling in my feet.

Then I sit up to see two golden orbs.

I release a shriek and switch on the lights immediately. It's Enzo sitting on the edge of my bed with my feet in his grip.

"Enz--"

"Shhhh... It's okay."

"Why are you here?"

"You've been screaming all night."

"Was I really so loud that you could hear me?"

"To be honest my ears are bleeding."

"Oh... I'm so so sorry--"

"It's fine... But does this usually happen every night?"

"Well... Almost."

"Why?"

"I... It's complicated."

"I see..."

I feel a sharp pain in my tummy and grip the the spot with all my might. "Maybe I shouldn't have eaten so much last night."

He chuckles. "Do you know the best remedy for a tummy ache?"

"Ginger tea?"

"No... It's a tummy rub."

He advances to my side and slides his hand underneath my night gown before gently rubbing his hand over my stomach.

God this is soooo soothing. And his hands are really soft.

"Better?"he asks.

I'm in too much of a relaxed state to even muster a nod.

The next thing every where goes dark.

~~

My eyes flicker open.

When did I fall asleep?

Probably after Enzo came.

I have to thank him for last night.

I rise from my bed and stretch my arms releasing a distinct crack.

When last did I get such a nice nap?

Probably that night Jack allowed me stay in his bed. I feel kind of bad for running away but it's not like he wanted me around from the beginning.

I exit the room and look around for Enzo hoping not see any of his associate's roaming around.

The question always lingered in my mind why he's housing Werewolves and why they fear him so much. Aren't werewolves stronger than vampires?

I ignore those thoughts when I spot a door that catches my attention.

It has "TOP SECRET" plastered right on it.

Y'know I've never been one to stay away from trouble.

I stride up to the door and turn the knob. And to my surprise it budges and opens up.

But all that's here is a pool. A tempting pool though.

It's filled with milky water and is frothing with bath bubbles. It's literally steaming and has rose petals floating on the surface.

It wouldn't hurt to take a little dip.

I shut the door behind me and watch my gown fall to my feet following my underwear.

I instantly step into the pool and receive the ultimate relief.

I almost can't resist releasing a moan.

A little dip turns to into spending twenty minutes in here. I just can't help it.

"Who are you and what are you doing in Master's bath?"

I turn to the door to see a slave boy looking livid. "Relax... I'm here as a guest."

His eyes narrow. "Master never told me of any guests."

"Because he doesn't have your time."

"Leave. Now,"he sneers.

"Give me a minute,"I say and sink deeper into the water.

"No. No more minutes... You have to leave now!"

What a pain in the ass.

"Fine... Get me a towel or something."

"There are no towels for you."

"Excuse me?"

"The towels here belong to master."

"So you expect to come out naked?"

"I don't care the state you exit. Just leave."

"But I can't do that if I'm not wearing anything you pervert!"

He starts to march up to me.

"What do you think you're doing!"

He grabs my arm and starts to yank me forward.

"Stop!"I scream at him and try to loosen my arm from his grip.

"You have to leave now!"

"Stop dragging me bafoon!"

"I only take orders from master!"

"I get that but you need to stop--"

"Henry."

We both turn to the entrance to see a vampire I'm positive I've never laid eyes on.

"Master,"he replies and lets go of me.

"He's your master?"I ask in confusion.

I thought it would be Enzo.

"Who is this?"the vampire asks with a yawn.

He's really good looking I won't lie. Black hair... Red eyes... But I don't fancy his glare.

"I'm--"

"What's going on here?"he sneers

"Well--"

"Master, I was trying to get her--"

"Be quiet for a moment,"he snaps and take slow steps towards me.

"Don't tell me this is... A human."

His tongue slides over his lips and his eyes turn bright red.

What the hell have I gotten myself into.
