I can't die here

Sophie's POV

I woke up so early thinking that if I could finish off quickly and was sent on an errand I'll run from there .

I did my chores while singing, I rounded up and proceeded to the kitchen to cook,  I cooked and then started dishing out the foods, at least this is the last time I'll do this for them.

I left for my room, I met  my stepsister Annie on the way,

I bowed in greetings,  although she's my stepsister, but I still have to bow to her since I'm no one there but a lowlife slave even when I'm the legitimate child of the family .and tried walking past her when she dragged me by my hair, it hurts alot.....

There's a time they all threatened to cut my long hair, I don't know why they're jealous of it, 

They did at a point, the thing is after a week it started coming out again.

This really frustrated my stepmother, she was so angry and called me sort of names.

"Bitch" she slapped me.

"Annie" I yelled as tears stung my eyes, I've never yelled at anyone for five years now, she was taken aback.....

She made an ugly face which was a bad omen for me, I know it surely I'm done for.

She came closer and gave me a resounding slap, I fell on the floor with a loud thud.

How can they be this cruel???

" I told you to give the maids my panties she washed and not you, so you had the guts to touch my underwears  with that stinky hands of yours ?" she yelled .

" I... yo...u we..r..e th...e on...e who aske...d me to wash I...t" I managed to say admist sobs .

She slapped me again , this time I cried out, I couldn't take it anymore, it hurts me so much, I felt like beating her, but that will result to my death.

Her mother came rushing in, I think she heard me tell.

She dragged her daughter along leaving me alone.

Why???

I cried as I dragged my feet to my room , I took my bath immediately after which I started packing up ready to leave , leave for good and if death comes, so be it.

After I finished packing up, I put my mother's phone in my pocket.... the only belonging of my mother that's left.

A day after she died, all her belongings were brought out and burnt , I was lucky enough to hide the phone before everything got burnt .

This is how cruel the people I call my family are.

I dropped my bags at the back of the fence so that if I go out on an errands for them I'll run to God knows where from there .

After doing that I turned around to look at the room again to see if I forgot anything, I saw my mother's picture, it's half torn but at least I can still see part of her face.

Mom!!! I cried .

I was still crying when I heard my name, it should be one of the maids .

I quickly cleaned my eyes and rushed out to see what they called me for.

"My presence required?" I asked for the fourth time while following the maid.

I guess it's because of what happened the other time, but her mother didn't say anything about it the other time.

We got to the living room.....

I noticed an awkward silence as she entered the sitting room ,  I looked around the room and

I sensed a powerful aura immediately, my eyes scanned the room my eyes met a man putting on a pair of sunglasses.

What's happening? I asked myself

My step mother adjusted her position well, I guess she's the Mastermind behind this..

Wait, what am I saying???

She's always been the Mastermind behind everything so this should be a surprise at all, I hope she's not going to try anything stupid.

" Mister we can't give her out without knowing your identity" my stepmother Said again.

My legs became weak instantly.

I was going to be sold???

"If you want us to sell her please tell us whom your master is " it was Sophia's stepmother who spoke .

"Are you going to sell her or not?" the man asked coldly.

 " Whom my master is is none of your business" he added fiercely.

I shivered when he added the last statement,  even her stepmother and her father flinched to the man's words, this man was no ordinary man, what would be her fate if she were to be sold?

It then Sophia realized her doom.

Her stepmother has gone too far, what has she done for her to deserve all this?

She was going to be sold ......

The man removed his sunglasses and his red eyes came into view.

Holy crap!

I'm doomed 

She was not only going to be sold, but sold to a vampire!

Can things get any worse?

"We are ready to sell her"! my stepmother Said with a wicked smile.

I looked at my father,. he was reluctant, he almost had tears in his eyes.

Why should he care now?

He looked away tho

my stepsister jubilated happily, 

"At least I'll be rest assured that I won't die anymore" Annie spat .

A drop of tear slipped down from my eyes....

Wow now I'm sure I'm cursed !
