Chapter One:
My silver hair was drenched in my parents' blood. The warm red liquid slid slowly down my face then dripped onto the carpet. I did not move from my spot on the floor, the spot where I watched the monster tear my parents apart. What was happening before my eyes didn't seem real? I turned my head and glanced around the room. My mothers head lay by the far wall while her arm lay on the opposite side of the room. I reached my hand in front of me and placed it on the blood soaked floor then repeated the action with the other had till I was crawling towards my brother who sat wide eyed and untouched in the corner.
He reached out and pulled me the rest of the way into his large protective arms. We were twins but he was large and I was small. His faced hardened and he squeezed me tighter to him and I turned my head to see that the monster had stopped and looked at us from its place on my bed. It jumped of the bed and went to the window and stood motionless. A few seconds later three men entered the room through the window where the beast stood. The first man reached down and patted the beast like it had done something good, I cringed and buried my body deeper into my brothers. He looked at us then and smiled as he walked towards us with the gracefulness of a leopard. The other two men followed him the same way. "You two will make fine pets." He said as he reached for me. Thaman flipped us over so that his back was to the man but his body covered mine.
They pulled him off of me and I reached for him trying desperately to get a hold of him, to cling to him. "Thaman!" I screamed as I scrambled towards his struggling body. Before I touched him I was lifted from the floor by two strong hands and plastered to the chest of the man.
"Let my sister go! Leaver her alone please leave her alone!" Thaman shouted from behind me. The man just chuckled darkly and pulled me tighter to his chest till I whimpered. "Stop it your hurting her!"
"I'll make more money for both of you then just one. Twins with silver hair are rare and I'm sure many of the masters that come to my market would love to have you both. "I felt a needle in my neck as I heard Thaman scream my name. He became quit and I think that they drugged him also because I couldn't seem to make a sound just drown in the nothingness.
"Roslyn" Thaman said groggily. I opened my eyes lazily and looked at him struggling to keep his eyes open. He had pulled me into his lap and held me close to him, our bear skin touched and I realized we were both naked. I felt something around my neck but had little strength to even reach up and touch it.
"Thaman what's happening?" I asked weekly.
"I don't know Roslyn but I won't let you get hurt. I'll protect you with my life."I closed my eyes and we were moving then we stopped and I could here a voice.
"This lot will be a set of pure silver haired twins." I was lifted by two strong arms "The female is small but not lacking and her eyes" I opened my eyes slowly and there was a couple of gasps but I could not really see anything it was all a blur and I closed my eyes again. "The male much larger and well built in all areas; eyes are the same as the girls. We'll start the biding at 100,000 dollars." There shouting that I couldn't understand before the first voice said "Sold for 2 million dollars." What was going on? I tried to open my eyes again but it was too hard. Finally the darkness swept me up and my world went black.
I awoke to a dark room and hard bodies on either side of me. The body in front of me was cold and the one behind me warm. I stared at the large expanse of muscled chest and blinked a couple of times before trying to get up. I removed the arms from across my body and crawled to the end of the large bed, it was so dark that I fell of the end and onto the floor with a thump. I stilled and waited for the men on the bed to wake up but nobody moved. I stood cautiously and looked down at myself. I was in a soft blue baby doll and matching panties. I was clean no traces of my parents blood on me. My ankle length silver hair was silky smooth and spotless too. I looked at the bed, the two men slept on their sides but I knew the one that had slept at my back Thaman lay there in a pair of pajama pants that matched the color of my baby doll. The other man I did not know but he was just as large as Thaman and had shaggy brown hair. He wore a pair of green pajama pants, his face was serine and very masculine but not overly so.
I walked around the bed to Thaman, he was asleep so I poked him and shook him till he awoke and stared at me for a moment. I pointed over his shoulder and her looked over and froze I looked then. The man had his eyes open and they were the most beautiful shade of green I had ever seen. He sat up and smiled "You are awake I see." He said in a velvet voice.
"Who a…are you?" I asked shakily. He looked at me a smile still on his face but the look in his eyes scared me.
"I am your master now, my name is Lord Aurick." I opened my mouth to reply but Thaman tugged my arm to tell me not to say what I was going to say, he knew me too well.
"What do you plan to do with us?" I said instead of the smart remark I would have said. His smile broadened.
"First tell me your names."
"Thaman and Roslyn" Thaman said in a neutral voice.
"Ah wonderful names, well, Roslyn will be my companion and you Thaman will be her bodyguard, I assume you could handle the role of protecting your sister?" Thaman gave a curt nod as I stared at them.
"What exactly dose this position as your companion, entail my Lord Aurick?" I asked in a suspicious voice. He gave me that look a man gives a woman when he's thinking inappropriate thoughts. Thaman must have seen it too because he stiffened and sat up straight in front of me.
"I'll protect her even from you." Thaman said with a hard look on his face and his large muscular arms crossed over his chest.
"I would never force a woman to my bed, even if I did own her."
"Good because I'd fight you the whole damn way." I said propping my fist on my right hip, staring him right in the face defiance clearly written on my face.
"Just so you two know what has happened to you, you where sold on the vampire slave market. I and everyone, well almost everyone, are vampires or shapeshifters. Thus escape is impossible and any attempts to do so will be punished. You can wander and do as you like with the available resources but when I call for you, you will come to me understood?" we nodded together "This is where you both shall be sleeping and there is a closet with clothing for you two through there" he pointed at a door on the wall opposite the bed "and the bathroom is the door next to it. Now shall we get back to bed?" he smiled and I stood where I was shock. Thaman sighed and pulled me onto the bed.
"Thaman I am not sleeping in the same bed as that manpire who says he owns me." Thaman sighed again.
"Roslyn deal with it because I don't believe that our situation is going to change and to be honest at least he isn't going to force you to sleep with him like another man who would have. And the fact that he's a vampire just makes the situation even more impossible to escape from so we have to deal with the hand life has dealt us. So lie down and go to sleep before he changes his mind because you are being difficult and then I'll have to get into a fight that I'm positive I'll never win." I laid down where I had woken up except I buried my body into my brothers as far away from the vampire that lay next to me. I knew that vampires existed but I never thought that I would see one and now I find myself owned by one how ironic.
