Chapter 1

"Please no don't hurt me!" Shido cried as his sire kept a firm grip on his childe's arm. "How dare you embarrass me in the middle of my court, in front of my subjects?!" The angry vampire snapped out.

Shido tried to remember what he had done to make the older vampire so angry. All he had done was yawn and talked to another fledging in the court. Maybe that was it. He was angry at him for talking to another vampire.

"Please forgive me!" Shido cried as he was thrown into the room with ruff force. He heard the door slam and the lock placed on it. Shido had gone to the corner with his face dripping with tears begging for his sire's forgiveness. "Please no." Cain took no love for this and bit his finger letting the crimson blood form into a whip

"Please don't." Shido said as he walked towards him with the whip ready. Whack! The first crack of whip hit the young vampire's flesh. "Stop it."

Whack! Another blow came to tare his flesh. It followed with more blows cutting threw the vampire's flesh opening up old ones in the process. It wasn't long till the vampire stopped and his blood dropped to the floor.

Shido laid on the floor in pain crying with his long lavender hair covering his face. "I beg your forgiveness master." The younger vampire whimpered out. Cain pulled the young one's long hair so he was raised up off the floor.

"If you ever embarrass me in front of my court again next time will be worst. Also you are forbidden to ever talk with the boy again. Understand me!?"

"Yes master." Shido said not wanting his torture to continue. "Good." Cain threw him on the bed. "I will have the maid come clean you up but you are to stay in your room tomorrow."

"Yes sir." Shido said afraid to talk back to him. Cain stormed slamming the door and locking it on the outside. Shido cried more after the sire had left out. His wounds slowly began to heal but the one on his heart was forever engraved.

Cain hadn't always been so quick to anger. Shido remember first being a vampire how kind, how patient Cain was to him. Then years ago that kind man left and a monster took his place. This monster who would beat poor Shido at a moment's whim and would make him feel worthless.

Shido had no where to turn. Cain was the ruler of this land. No one would dare talk back to him let alone stand up to him for Shido. Shido rubbed his eyes as he heard his door unlock. It was the maid as Cain said who came to clean him up.

She walked in looking at him with such pity. "You angered the master again yes?" Shido nodded his head in shame. "Poor child." She said as she cleaned him up as she usually did.

"I don't know why he gets so mad at me." Shido said in tears. "I do not know why either." She said as she cleaned him up quickly. Cain walked into the room as she finished up looking at his fledgling.

"Leave us." He told her. She did in fear of him after taking a light bow. Cain closed the door. Shido knew what he had returned for but he didn't know if his body could take a round of his sire's harsh sexual appetite.

"I don't want to hurt you Shido but you have to understand I can not afford to show weakness of any kind at anytime to my subjects or the traveling diplomats. They respect me and that is very important. If I let you go around doing what you wanted it would make them think I didn't have enough sense to run my territory let alone my mate."

Shido knew Cain was very protective of his image. "Yes sir." He simply said. Shido had learned to be careful with his words around Cain. The slightest upset or anger in his voice would result in severe punishments.

"Good now remove your garments." Cain said as he himself unrobed. Shido tried though it was hard for his wounds. If he could get his pants off Cain would satisfied if not he would be angry.

Shido fumbled with his pants trying not show the brunt of his pain to his sire. What little pride he had ever had was gone. His pants finally were able to come to around his ankles to his relief. Cain walked and took them off complete getting on top of the Lavender-haired vampire. He caressed the burn on Shido's thigh. "You remember what this is don't you?" He said. Shido nodded. He remembered being branded by Cain. It had his royal crest on it. "This shows if anyone ever tries to touch you they know you belong to me."

Shido tried not to squirm under the weight of his sire which pressed down on his wounds. He felt Cain do the usual touching of his body and closed his eyes when he felt his penetration. Shido remembered the days he would enjoy their lovemaking. How Cain would tease him slightly and let the joyful mixture of pleasure and pain wrap him like a glove.

Now days all he felt was the pain. Nothing pleasurable, noting exciting just hurting. He was thankful when Cain finished with him for the evening. "You are not to leave your room for the remainder of the session. If I found out you have wander out without my permission no one will save you from my wrath." With that Cain quickly redressed and walked out locking the heavy door behind him once again.

Shido tried not to cry as he laid back in bed in pain. He tried to remember a kinder Cain. The days they used to walk in gardens together. The days were Cain would sooth his every nerve and the days were his kisses used to make Shido melt.

He asked Cain what had happen but when he did he was beaten within an inch of his life which he said was for back talking. He caressed the small burn on his thigh which seemed like such a big contrast to his pale white skin. Shido remembered being tied down to the bed when Cain preformed this act on him. He leaned his head back finally dosing off to sleep wishing for the old days
