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
Master Abigor had walked me back to my quarters but turned and left halfway to my sleeping chambers after one of the male servants rushed to call him for something important.I looked at my door before I placed my hand on the handles and turned them, pushing the doors wide open. I was immediately met with dozens of eyes looking at me eagerly. My ladies in waiting rushed to me, quick to remove my clothes and jewellery.They led me to my bed and I sat down on it, tired and in so desperate need of sleep, "what happened?" Lydia asked me as they all looked at me with wide smiles and eager to hear what had went on.I paused, licking my bottom lip, "he is courting me," I stated unsurely as though one of them would interject and tell me he was not.Their faces were still, surprise swimming in the pools of their eyes before they all squealed in excitement and jumped onto my bed, looking at me, "Master A
"Lady Aphrodite, 'tis time to awaken," I heard a gentle voice whisper in my ear and I groaned, saddened that my sleep had come to an end. I would now face the day and be forced to stay awake until nightfall.I opened my eyes slowly and looked around the room, only finding Lydia staring down at me with a huge smile and excited eyes, "the courting has begun," she giddily whispered as though it were a secret.I furrowed my eyebrows, rubbing my hands over my eyes, "what is the meaning of what you are saying, Lydia?" I asked her, sitting up slightly as I gave her a questioning look.She gestured beside me and I turned to look, finding a tray filled with chocolates and sweets, "oh, my!" chocolate was a rare delicacy and the fact that I had a whole tray of them put a smile on my face, "chocolate!" I excitedly said as I reached for the tray so that I could indulge.I eagerly unwrapped the delicacy and
He had his legs open and I stood between them, but there was still some distance between us even though it was a short distance. I met his eyes with a bravery that I did not know I possessed, "have you caved, my Aphrodite?" he asked me with a cockiness only he could make seem attractive and had the buds of my bosoms hardening, "have you come to seek satisfaction from me, your lover?" he asked me as he sat upright and moved his hands off the table before he placed them on my waist and suddenly pulled me into his body.I gasped, my hands placed on his chest to catch my balance. He tightened his thighs, keeping me locked in place as his cold fingers began to dance on the exposed skin of my stomach, "because I would be more than happy to please you," his green eyes began to change colour as his voice dropped an octave.He leaned down, his face merely centimetres from mine. His pointy nose was pressed against my small, broad, button nose, "
"Good morning, Lady Aphrodite," my ladies in waiting greeted me as I stepped out of my bath and into my chambers, looking for my dress.I smiled at them, acknowledging their greeting as they rushed to continue their jobs of dressing me for the day, "is this to your taste?" one of my ladies asked me as she gestured towards the green dress that would be more revealing and provocative than the one I wore yesterday.I nodded my head, smiling as I thought about how Master Abigor would react. I felt powerful knowing that I could bring out such a reaction from my master. I didn't have to do much, never having to bend over backwards for him to desire me and what I could give him.Just a simple show of skin had my master being a lustful mess.As I was being helped into my dress I looked at my already made bed, my e
The sun had just set and I was standing on my balcony, looking out into the gardens and at the star covered sky. The moon was half full and I enjoyed the light that it provided as I watched the little flecks of orange fire light in the distance.Master Abigor's home sat at the very top of a mountain and we were surrounded by a thick forest, with big, beautiful, lush trees. Yet during the night the forest took on such a dark aura, it looked terrifying, so I always tried my best to stay inside whenever the sun set.I have come to the realization that Master Abigor disappears during the day, doing what? I myself wonder because am I not his most important task? As a woman that he is courting, I would presume that he would be available to me for 24 hours.I lightly scoff at my thoughts, such possessiveness and demand and we have yet to marry. I wanted to be the one who told him that I accepted his courtship and would gl
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
