Chapter-7: Maid?

Alice's POV:

The next day when I woke up, I was feeling fresh and much more active than yesterday. I stretched my body, still lying in bed, and scanned my surroundings. This isn't my bedroom. Oh! Now I remember! I have been kidnapped and all that blah, blah, blah!

My thoughts went back to last night. The scene of his beautiful hazel eyes with those unknown and confusing feelings flashed at the back of my mind.

What were those feelings? It felt as if something deep was hidden behind those eyes. Like they held many, many secrets. His actions were bad but why did I feel like there was something to them? Was there something more to him just being the ‘bad guy'?

Argh! Cut the crap! I should focus on finding my sister and get out of this hell. Where I should start looking though? This place is huge! How am I supposed to find her without getting lost myself?

I remembered him saying something about a dungeon last night. Or was it dungeons? Whatever. If this place had dungeons, maybe that's where he was keeping Epic. I should probably start from there and get out of here as soon as possible. But first I needed something to eat. I hadn't eaten for two days I think. Even though I was very worried about Epic, without strength I couldn't fight.

Human food felt as important to me as blood. Though I had zero idea why. Most vampires just eat for leisure and crave blood for real. But I felt hunger for normal food as well.

The door to the room opened and a girl came in with a tray of breakfast. Her age must’ve been seventeen or eighteen. She had on an outfit similar to a maid's.

"Good morning madam. Have you slept well? Here's your breakfast. After you are finished, wear those clothes and we will lead you to His Highness."

Two other girls entered the room holding clothes and boxes of shoes and put them on the couch. The blonde girl, who had brought my breakfast, passed me a smile and said.

"We are waiting for you outside the room. If you require any help, you may call for us." She turned around and the other girls followed her out of the room.

My eyes were wide-open while my mouth was practically on the bed. What the hell just happened? Am I a VIP guest or something? Don't tell me they kidnapped me just to treat me this way? How absurd is that? Just then, a horrible thought came to my mind.

What if that prince has a kink or something? What if…. He likes to dress up his victims prettily before he does God-knows-what to them?

A low rumble inside my stomach brought my attention back to the food. And man was that tray inviting! It had fruits and vegetables and bread and juices. Whatever you name it! I narrowed my eyes. I'll quickly eat this, gain strength and disappear with my sister before that pervert even has a chance to lay his hands on me.

I ate breakfast quickly and went to the bathroom to take a shower. There was no way I was going to wander the halls looking like a witch. I was a vampire, I'd rather look elegant and not like some scrawny old woman.

When I was done, I put the dress on the maids had brought. It was a pretty white dress that fell a little below my knees. I twirled in front of the mirror. The dress hugged my curves perfectly. Princey sure has a nice taste.

When I opened the door, someone was already standing in front of it. Taken aback, I lost my footing and stumbled backward, about to hit the floor.

I closed my eyes waiting for the impact but it never happened. Instead, a pair of strong arms wrapped firmly around my waist. Once again those hazel eyes were in front of me.

I immediately stood up on my own and took a cautious step back. His eyes traveled all over my body, from head to toe. It made me self-conscious for some reason.

"The dress fits you well,” then he paused and murmured, looking at the floor. "I was wondering if you'd like it or not."

"Huh?"

His head turned to me again as if he was freed from a trance.

"So now will you tell me what I have to do for you, sir?" I said sarcastically.

"What?" He looked at me with surprise.

"What? You have to have some purpose for keeping me here by force," I said, pressing on the last two words.

He paused for a few seconds and then the lamest thing I could have ever imagined came out of his mouth.

"Yes, you are here to serve me," he stated blankly.

"What? Did I hear you right? You knocked me out, kidnapped my sister, and blackmailed me into coming here just to be your servant?" I cried out in disbelief.

A smirk began to settle on his face as he took in my reaction. He was enjoying this absurdity even more!

"Yes, dear. You are here to serve me. From now on, you will be with me 24 hours. All matters regarding me are your responsibility from now on."

This is insane! Is he really a pervert? What is he trying to pull?

"But you already have a lot of servants!” I protested. “And they're always at your beck and call too! Why the hell would you have me kidnapped for this? And who gives new clothes and breakfast in bed to a servant?” 

This was driving me crazy. Was he playing with me? Probably, a rotten rich vampire prince playing for fun. But I was not going to play hooky with him. No way!

"You are not like any of them. You are special and for a special servant, VIP treatment is necessary," he said bowing a little, still smirking.

I clenched my fists in frustration. He had me dressed up for this little play that he wanted to pull off. Fine. I'd play along until I found Epic and then he could find someone else to fool around with.

"What about my sister? You haven't told me anything about her. Where is she? I want to talk to her,” I demanded.

"She is somewhere safe and sound shall remain safe as long as you stay here, quietly, like a good girl.”

"Don't you dare to touch my sister. I will stay here as long as you say. But! Mark my words. If you ever lay a finger on her, this will be your last mistake,” I yelled.

"Are you threatening your master? Tsk, tsk. These are not good manners,” he said, taking a step towards me with a serious expression. "Enough with the negotiations. Now get to work. You are going somewhere with me. Be well behaved, darling."

I stared at him in utmost anger but I knew it was no use. He had me as long as he had Epic. His hazel eyes twinkled mysteriously as they searched my face before he turned to walk out the door. And I had no choice but to follow.
