Chapter 2

Maddox's POV

Her hands clamp tightly around my biceps as I sink my teeth deeply into her neck, drinking out her tasteful blood bit by bit. Soon, though, I can feel her body go limp over mine, so I detach from her and sweep her up into my strong arms. 

I lick the last droplets of blood from my mouth before sharing a glance with Samuel. "I think we'll keep her," I tell him as I admire Willows ring-curled hair, the dark brown becoming shiny against the sunlight. 

I've never seen a woman as beautiful as her and I have seen many women in my life, all of good looks. 

Samuel nods. "Well we had better get going. That spell Cassandra casted won't last much longer, and if we don't go now, we could be a pair of burnt vampires."

Ah, Cassandra. One of the only skilled witches from miles on end. We were lucky when we came across her years ago when she lost her family to a pack of wolves. Out of a human family and skilled like a witch who has practiced for centuries...

Chuckling, I nod along. I gesture towards the door of Willows house, saying, "What do we do with the animals? I've been watching this girl for quite sometime now and I don't think she'll be happy if we killed or let them loose." 

He sighs. "You're right." Then, in only seconds, he's in the house doing only god-knows-what. And another second, he's back.

"Well?" I eye him suspiciously.

"I've fed the mutts. I will have some of the servants come back and collect them later on. But for now, we must get back before it is too late."

Then we're off, deep into the forest, on our way back to the Kingdom.

Only and hour later...

Thankfully, Sam and I made it back just in time before the spell had outlasted us. Sam had went to thank Cassandra, our Kingdoms enchantress, and I, on the other hand, am currently hiding my new doll in my chambers.

She looks awfully comfortable in that bed...

I have had a an eye on this one for awhile now, coming in from the Kingdom late at and watching through her bedroom window as she read her books or struggled to fall asleep at night.

Often, she would actually catch me when I would come right up to her window, but it didn't matter. She is merely a human girl and I am one who can do whatever he pleases. So I would erase her memory from that night, putting her into a deep slumbder, then vanishing off into the forest again. 

As I cover her still, flushed body, with the thick comforter laying apon my bed, her breathing suddenly hitches and her movements begin to awaken her slumbered faze. 

A sly grin appears on my face and I sit down closely beside her, anticipating those beautiful eyes to flutter open. 

Only if she knew the plans I have for her... 

These next few months will be some of the best I've ever had. But for her, not so much, I would think... Alot of pain and alot of pleasure will take place on her end.

Finally, after what feels like forever of waiting, but was really just a mere few moments, a painful groan lets out of her and her hand immediatley clamps to the side of her neck. It detaches, though, when she feels the "leaf" suckling to that very spot. 

C'mon... I want this girl to survive, and if I had left it open any longer, the poor human would've died from all the infection, or worse, another vampire would have smelled her open wound from miles away.

Her eyes barley open, she begins to speak once again. "Wher-" she struggles and looks around the room carefully, not yet noticing me. "Where... Where am I..." she finally utters out, her vision still likely blurry. 

I stand, meeting her gaze directly. She flinches back as soon as I come within her sight, and the covers shes grasping cover her in an instant. 

I chuckle out, amused. "There's is no point in hiding yourself like this, Princess. The power you hold against me is nothing- negative, even." I make my way around to the other side of the bed and croutch beside, just as I had awhile ago. I flip back the cover and cup the side of her face in my cold hand. 

She tries to pull away, but she left at a stand-still from the strength I hold against her. 

"Do not resist me, Willow, because soon you will be begging me to do anything that will put you out of this misery just so you can be free again."

A fat tear rolls down her cheek as the last words leave my mouth. "Why am I even here?" she mutters, too scared to actually admit her true feelings: anger. Little does this one know I can control her beyond her imagination. To me, she is a butterfly that I could crumple up at any moment. 

She will stay, though, because I brought her here for reason- a purpose, for me. 

I let out a dreary sigh, taking a seat on my bed next to her. As I inch closer, she folds together and backs away until she hits the bedboard, becoming trapped. "You are my perfect match, Willow." my voice draws deep and taunting as I reach towards her paled face. My hand sweeps down her neck, landing on the suckling leaf upon the bite I've given her. "The blood that runs in those veins is the only blood that I can smell for miles on end- taste now, on the tip of my tongue."

Her shoulder rolls helplessly against my hand and pushes my hand away, jumping up from the bed. "You.." her breathing hitches slightly, "Are.. a monst-er!"

As soon as she does so, though, I can sense she is not fully healed yet from the way she begins swaying and her light, hazley, brown eyes begin rolling.

In no time, do I grab hold of her and scoop her up into my arms again. I chuckle, staring lazily into her distressed face. "Oh, Willow, sweetheart. I will show you what a monster is. Just be patient with me."

Then I set her down on the bed and leave her there, locking the door behind me. 

Willow's POV

The door closes and clicks into it's lock as soon as he exits the room, leaving me here all alone, with only the worst to imagine for myself. 

When his footsteps have finally gone, I slowly exit the bed this time to minimize the possibility of me fainting or nearly fainting, again. Once up and moving, I scan the enitre room for anything that could help me; maybe even a goddamn window. 

His bedroom is actually quite nice. His bed is large, but only filling a small portion of the room with it's black and red, soft, warm comforter as well as his silk sheets. There's even a carpet underneath it as well, making it much more barable to walk around, rather than the cold wood. But then as I try to take a closer look at the beautifully designed bed board, I see a chains running off the sides with cuffs attached to the ends of them.

Then, I turn, and I discover a set of double doors. I carefully pull only the one open, though. It reveals a large bathroom with a double sink and a large shower with granite and all sorts of beautiful crystals and stones surrounding it. The shower head is even cool.

Off to the left, I notice that there's an opening to another room, so I enter. Within the room, there lays all sorts of different clothes, more than likely all of that monster- I mean Maddoxs.

Although there is alot to see, I decide the head back into the bedroom to have a rest. Tomorrow I shall try to escape, but now. Now I simply do not have the strength within me to do it...
