"Only the best for you, Master Abigor," I responded as I looked around. A red carpet was stretched out from my carriage leading to the inside of the castle like mansion that I was sure belonged to a royal. There were several carriages lined up, "what are we attending, Master?" I asked him.
I do not usually ask him such, but because I feel much more acquainted with him, I hope he does not mind the question.
"Duke Barclay is having a birthday celebration," Master answered me, as we neared the huge doors that were heavily guarded, "you know the rules, Aphro

"Master, he was the one who touched me," I stammered out nervously as Master Abigor was walking me back to my carriage. I had spent the remainder of the ngiht sitting anxiously with clammy hands and a heart beating 100 beats a minute because I was so fearful of what would happen when I was alone again with Master Abigor, "there was no way I could have stopped it," I rushed out as we approached my carriage and the door was held open by my coachman.Master Abigor had my hand placed in the crook of his arm as he casually guided me to the carriage. Even though his face gave nothing away, I could not help but feel that something was unsettling.I was certain he was upset with me, "hush," he huskily whispered into my ear, causing goosebumps to appear on my arms. He placed his index finger on my lips, silencing me, "if you say one more word, I will not hesitate to punish you even more."A lump formed in my throat and I wa

My body was set alight, I was on fire- consumed by its flames. His words registered in my brain and took effect on my body, driving me mad with unfamiliar reactions. I felt so suffocated by my Master's sudden attention on me. I always believed our relationship was strictly platonic.I thought he held no feelings towards me whatsoever. I believed he only treated me as a business, a business that he rewarded very well for the money and success it brought him.I have never thought of being with a gentleman. It has never crossed my mind because I was so engrossed in my work and making my Master proud. I was only exposed to whatever Master Abigor allowed and I was perfectly content with it.I was still much young and had the beauty of youth to my favour.I was still lying in bed while Lydia attended to me. I worried this woman too much, "Lydia, you work too much," I voiced and she stilled in place a

I had ordered Lydia to request and seek out a portrait painter, I wanted only the best of the best and I had given her this task while I was sick and in bed. To-day she came with the good news that the painter was waiting for me. I eagerly got dressed in a beautiful white gown that exposed most of my skin and contrasted with my dark skin.I entered the massive room and looked at the short round man who immediately rushed to his feet and bowed before me, "Lady Aphrodite, it is an honour that you have chosen me to be the one who captures your beauty," he let out in a hurry and I simply waved my hand."Oh, tis no big matter. I hope you shall not make me regret my decision," I responded even though Lydia had been the one who had to pick through persons to find the best and most suitable painter."Not at all," he shook his head and I worried for his neck but I casually glided over to the expensive sofa that I had made f

Jack was being accompanied out by one of the servants as I stretched and gently massaged my neck. I was in desperate need of a warm bath with soothing oils being rubbed all over my body.I walked through the halls that were lit with both candles and chandeliers that Master Abigor had bought from Egypt and had cost two cases of gold. I looked behind me, feeling as though some person were following me.When I looked around, I spotted nothing so I continued to walk up to my sleeping chambers. I opened the doors and when I stepped in, my ladies in waiting rushed to my aid. They began to lead me to my bathing chambers, where the tub had been filled with water."Oh, I need my muscles to be soothed," I complained as I turned to face one of them to instruct them to take off my dress when a voice interrupted me."You are all dismissed for the remainder of the night," I turned to see Master Abigor standi

Certain days, I can never seem to catch a break. I am constantly busy, preparing myself for shows and performances. My days are constant headaches and I struggle to even have a moment of rest besides when it is nightfall and I need to be in bed.Yet, other days I find myself having nothing to do. Just as to-day, I find myself aimlessly wandering around the compound, running my fingers along the stone walls of this castle like mansion that felt so cold yet homey.I wore a ball gown that felt light compared to the usual heavy ball gowns with heavy material to give the skirt full effect. This dress was perfect, a pink that contrasted against my dark skin. I felt light and airy, and I could not help but to twirl around the hallways, giggling to myself.I walked around barefoot, my small feet dancing along the marble floors as I threw my head back and began to sing about the silliest of things."I r

I paced up and down my sleeping chambers, rushing to shut my curtains and slam my windows shut, closing doors and barricading them. I was protecting myself from the monster I so believed resided within my home.It all made sense- it all suddenly made sense. He kept promising me that I would never be touched by either of those men- oh for the life of me, I had not in a million light years thought he meant that he would kill them."Murderer!" I exclaimed in fear and accusation to no person in particular. I could feel Lydia's judgemental eyes on my figure as I walked to and fro, attempting to save us from Master Abigor. I had not told her yet."Who?" she asked me as she sat on the corner of my bed, not moving as I had instructed her.I ran my hands through my hair, feeling crazed and I most certainly looked as so, "I am to tell you something and I know that it may sound crazed, but it is the truth

The best part about not having any work to do, is that I get to sleep in as late as I want. There is no disruption of any kind and I get to drift off into dream land, and truly enjoy my bed, warm sheets and blankets.I snuggled deeper into my bed, enjoying the feel of the pillow beneath my head, "-dite, Aphrodite, rise up, open your eyes, Aphrodite," I groaned and rolled over, attempting to escape the nuisance that was pulling me away from my precious sleep, "Aphrodite, awake at once!""Hush!" I hurriedly exclaimed as I raised my head from my pillow and glared at Lydia with sleepy eyes, "do you not see me asleep?" I snapped at her, cranky that she was the one interrupting my sleep when she knew how much this meant to me."But-""Did I not tell you to not wake me, Lydia? You are my friend but this is un-""The master has requested your presence," she let out in a rush as she

Before I could react to those words, he had twirled me into his arms, holding me to his body with one hand above my bottom and the other clutching my hand. I gasped, looking up into his eyes that shined with an undefined emotion that caused goosebumps to appear on my arm, "I missed you," he whispered, gazing down at me with intensity.My lips parted as I stared up at him in awe, "you did?" I asked him.His eyes moved from my own to my lips, staring for a moment before they moved down to my exposed chest and the top part of my bosoms, "I have some wine and food for us to enjoy," his hand moved from my body but the other still held my hand.He turned and led me further into his chambers and I looked around, taking everything in.He led me to his bed that had a golden tray atop it. On the golden tray sat two

I ran a wet hand over my hair, laying down the silky hair as I looked at myself in the mirror. I was met with no reflection of myself and it brought a smile to my face to know how invisible I truly was.I fixed the cuffs on my sleeves before I put on my tunic. My eyes were immediately drawn to the simple wedding band on my finger and I thought of my beautiful mate who would awaken at any moment.I were not entirely certain when she would awaken but patience is a virtue, and I would wait for her. Even if it may take an eternity- at some point in time she shall open her eyes and I shall not be forced to carry on the rest of my life in solitude.I turned on my heels and strode out of my bathing chambers and towards my bed. I stood at the foot of the bed, my eyes setting on my wife who lay completely still. Her hands rested on h

I laid my head on his chest, my heart thumped against my ribs, my ears had a constant ring and my mouth was dry. We were finally alone. The sun had set and the guests had left.It had been a beautiful day, one that ended far too quickly for my liking. I wished I could have spent the rest of eternity in that moment with Abigor. As we swayed together to the music being played by my very own teachers. I could still hear how beautifully the strings of the violin had been pulled as he and I danced together. I heard the ooh's and ahh's from our exclusive audience. We only had the wealthiest and the most powerful attend.It had truly been an event for the books.But now, it was time for me to meet my end.Abigor held onto me just as tightly and we silently stood in embrace, refusing to let the other go. It felt like we had been standing this way for hours since the balls of my feet felt as though they

Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined that the day I were to wed some person, it would be this magical. From the way that the sun rose, it felt as though the elements of the world were celebrating with me. The sun shone just a bit brighter today and the skies were a clear blue.I was unable to eat anything, just simply sat there and let myself be pampered in preparation for the moment when I would accept Master Abigor's hand in marriage.It was when the sun had passed its peak that I was finally ready and slipped into my wedding gown. Never has a simple gown ever brought me to tears as I thought of how far I had come.I hugged each of my ladies in waiting and especially clung onto Lydia for just a bit longer. We talked about how Master Abigor and I had started out and giggled about how none of us would have ever imagined that it w

The home was abuzz. The most abuzz it has been my entire life. The servants were running around, shouting to each other in excitement and it brought a smile to my face because every person was happy for this union. There were no longer moments of silence. The once always silent home, was now a home buzzing with joy.I walked into Master Abigor's quarters, headed for his office. When I reached the big oak doors, I pushed them open before I entered the room.My eyes immediately connected with Master Abigor's who was sitting behind his desk. I closed the doors behind me and walked towards him. I smiled at him and he returned the smile with a confident smirk, "to what do I owe the pleasure of such a meeting?" he asked me as he put his feather down and rolled up the scroll that he was writing on.By the time I had reached his table he had already stood up and stood in front of me. He took my hands into his and leaned do

There was a hush in the air as I clutched the fur coat tighter around my body to shield myself from the cold. Yet, the cold was far from my mind. I was very much aware that some person else occupied the room with me but I cared very little for that. All I cared for was the creation before my eyes.My wedding dress.Unlike the outrageous ball gowns that I am always dressed in, this dress was an A line with no extra tulle to make it appear bigger. I could tell that if I were to wear it, it would not weigh the same weight as my ballgowns with iron rings underneath.Instead, the dress had beauty in its simplicity. Sleeves were non-existent, a simple sheer that matched with my skin tone were on the shoulders of the mannequin to show how the dress would sit on me. The dress was made from a bright and white lace, and the dress was slightly transparent.It was the back that took my breath away. The ill

I stood in the centre of Abigor's bedroom chambers. There was a blanket laying on the floor, and atop the blanket was a variety of food choices and drinks. The entire room was dark and the only light that illuminated the room and allowed me to see the person in the room with me were the candles that were in a circle around the blanket.I should be sitting on the floor, dining with Abigor. Yet Abigor was circling me slowly. I could feel the heat of his gaze as he looked me up and down from every angle.I wore a white silk dress, one that was the definition of temptation.I know not what came over to warrant such actions but I enjoyed when I brought a reaction out of him. It brought a smile to my face to know that a simple woman such as myself could have such an effect on a vampire.&nb

"Lydia!" I proclaimed in joy and relief as I set my eyes on my close friend who seemed unharmed. I threw my arms around her neck and brought her close to my body, enjoying her familiar scent that soothed me.She giggled a bit, uncomfortably holding me for a short moment before she finally relaxed in my arms and gently patted my back, "you seem to have missed me so, Lady Aphrodite."I could not help the tears that escaped me as I buried my face in her shoulder, "what have I told you about calling me Lady Aphrodite?" I scolded her half-heartedly, refusing to lift my head from her embrace.Even though Lydia and I were only a few moons apart, she felt much like a mother. She had always been there for me in my hardest moments and in my best moments.She had to take on a lot of responsibility when it came to me. She had the role of being my friend and being my mother. She would nurse me when I was si

The world looked different as I stepped out into the garden and shielded my eyes from the bright sun with my hands."Will it hurt?" I asked Abigor as I let him rest his head on my bosom. The action, strangely, made me feel at ease. It calmed me down after all the fright I had felt."Death...hurts, a lot," he responded and the vibrations that came from his speaking shook me to the very core. I was still unable to move but at this point, I realized that moving was futile because even if he had not done anything to my body, I would have been frozen in place.This time as I looked at the flowers, I willed myself to feel.I pressed my hand to my chest, soothed by the sound of my beating heart that banged against my chest. I sought solace in the simple action as I took in a deep breath and for

"Wha-what does that mean? To be a disgrace, to be fallen?" I asked him, my voice breaking through the levelled atmosphere that his own tone has created. His voice was like a lullaby, silencing any bit of distress around him.Master Abigor was still straddling me and his cold hands were on my waist, holding onto me securely as his face was inches from mine."To vampires, humans are considered as inferior. We consider humans as filthy, weak and unworthy of the power that you have. Yet, we live amongst you because you are our source of pleasure and food. Vampires are meant to be with vampires. That is the way that it has to be," he paused, his eyes glancing over every inch of my naked body. I could see his orbs darken before he seemed to gain control over his body, "so when a vampire mates with a human, or claims a human, they become a disgrace. It is like a spit in the face of the power a
