A Vampire's Pet
Chapter: 1
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha. This is a work or my own imagination.
Hello. My name is Rei. I'm human. I'm 14 years old. I have long blonde hair (that I like to die a lot), golden eyes, and an almost perfect complexion. Finally, I live on the planet Theta. You know, Theta! Like the Greek letter! The year is 2582. The 'home' planet Earth is gone. It was destroyed when the sun burnt out. Our technology was great, but we didn't have enough to save the entire planet from the sun! So we became a colony. Imagine thousands of spaceships carrying a vast majority of the human race. Can you? Well I can't. See that all happened about 15 years ago. I was one of the first humans actually born on Theta. But it gets even more complex than that! You see, when we first came here we found two other species. They look just like us! They also welcomed us to the planet. They were the vampires, and the werewolves. Before we came, they were at war. But when they heard how we lost our planet, they took pity on us and realized how pointless their fight was. They agreed not to fight anymore and so far, the truce has become even stronger. Some vampires and werewolves are even married. Or as they call it, imated/i. Now, I'm the black sheep of my family. Everyone else just minds their own business, stays out of trouble, doesn't snoop, etc. But I'm not like that. I HAVE to snoop! It's so thrilling. My mother always warns me that I'm going to end up a pet. Oh yes, you don't know. You see, Vampires have pets. ihuman pets/i. No one really knows what happens to those humans. I think it would be exciting to be a pet. Depending of course on whose pet I am.
Marissa and I BOLTED through the forest. Marissa is my best friend. I just pissed off three….maybe four…..no more than six, werewolves. We laughed hysterically as we jumped an ancient gate and hid behind the wall. You did everything to silence your laughter as they stopped in front of the gate.
"Do you think they went inside here?" one asked. Another growled.
"If they did, then we can't follow. That ground is forbidden for us." He said. I silently cheered with Marissa. I heard them move on, searching for us both in the forest still. I poked my head out giggled when I saw no Werewolves. Then I burst out laughing with Marissa.
"OH MY GOD! That was so much fun!" I yelled. Marissa laughed.
"What did you DO?!" She asked me. I laughed harder.
"Two of them were being chickenshits, so called them kittens! Then they jumped up pissed, some of their buddies jumped up pissed, and the chase began!" I exclaimed.
"YOU DON'T EVEN CONSIDER COMPAIRING WEREWOLVES TO CATS!! ARE YOU THAT STUPID?!" She yelled. I smiled and nodded. She laughed. I looked forward to see where we were and I saw an abandoned sign. I looked behind it, and about a quarter of a mile down the dirt road that was here was an ANCIENT castle! SWEET!
"Hey Marissa," I said in my teasing sing-song voice. She looked where I was looking and stopped laughing.
"No. Oh no. Nooooo, nonononononoooooo!" She said. I grinned.
"Why not? The sign says abandoned, so there shouldn't be anyone home right? Plus the castle is ancient. It doesn't look like anyone's home." I said as I stood up and started walking towards it. I never could resist a 'keep out' sign, let alone an 'abandoned' sign. Marissa chased after me and tried to pull me back.
"Rei, you know that vampires can do magic. What if this is one of those spells used to keep nosey people like you away?" She asked, panicky. I smiled.
"Then they need to change their sign." I said sarcastically. Marissa groaned.
"Rei, I'm serious! We need to get home anyway. It's late. We should just leave it be." She said.
"You can go home if you want, I'm gonna check this place out! Have fun getting home with those werewolves out there." I said grinning. She whined and followed me to the door. Then she sat at the front steps and glared at me.
"I'm gonna sit right here and wait for you. You better come back for me." She said. I laughed as I gently pried the door open. It was filthy with dust, but MAGNIFICANT! I went in and shut the door as I looked around.
"Wow." I whispered. There was a grand staircase right across the entrance room and several doors on the first level also. I smiled as you ran across the room and up the stairs to the right. I gasped at all the trinkets that lined the hallway. I slowly walked through while I ran my fingers gently over each item. Even through the dust, they all glittered like gold. I smiled at some of the smaller trinkets. It was clear that it was a woman who had bought all these, or they were bought for her. Some were ponies, some were candlesticks, and some was even jewelry. I couldn't figure out why jewelry would have been left out in a hallway. I picked up one necklace and rubbed all the dust off so it shined again. It was a giant silver heart on a ridiculously long chain. If I were to wear it then the heart would be at the bottom of my rib cage. I smiled as I set it back down. Suddenly I could have sworn I heard whispers behind me. I spun around and saw nothing. I moved a few hairs away from my face and continued along. I sighed as I reached a door. Slowly I prodded it open and found another hallway! I shook my head as I walked in, leaving the door open. More trinkets were on shelves here as well. Once again I heard voices whispering. I spun around as saw nothing, though I could have sworn I saw a flash of something running to the side. My heart was racing from the anxiety. I quickly turned around and continued on my way. At the end of a hall was a mirror, facing a smaller hallway off to the side. I wiped the dust off it and smiled at my reflection. Then I noticed something on the wall behind me. The dust looked as if a hand had just been placed upon it. It had not been there a second ago. My heart started racing again as I took a deep breath and spun around. There stood the most handsome man I had ever seen staring at me. And he didn't have a reflection. 'My god. Marissa was right. I just walked right into the home of a vampire!' I thought. My eyes went wide as he watched me. He then smirked.
"You shouldn't be here." He said.
