My Owner

Previously on my owner:

"I'm afraid you are both going to have to come with us" another of the men spoke.

"Over my dead body!" I shouted at these vile beings.

"You women never know when to shut up!" the last man spoke before he clubbed me round the head with a crow bar.

Cold, fresh water being poured over me woke me from my unconsciousness.

Around me were four white walls, and over thirty women. They were all naked. The women were all eighteen or above and they seemed to be washing. Lissa was next to me, trying to get me out of my dazed state.

"Where are we?" I murmured barely audible.

"The men, they took us to the showers, told us to wash and make ourselves 'look pretty'." Lissa answered as she helped me into a standing position. Water was falling from the ceiling, cold and fresh water.

Soap bars were on the floor and Lissa picked one up to begin washing herself and then passed it to me. I found it odd that they had kidnapped us and then brought us to shower; the panic of being brought here to be gassed soon died away as I looked around and noticed that all the women were washing with the cheap soap provided.

I had had enough time to wash and clean off any dirt from my skin or my hair and now I was freezing under the cold tap. Looking around I calculated that over half of the girls had only just turned eighteen and the rest were older than thirty.

The thirty plus year olds must have managed to of kept hidden from the men. I noticed that all of the women who appeared to be older were dhampir's, not one of them was a Moroi.

The door to the showers slammed open and two Guardians came in with one Moroi. Of course they were all men, and I saw the women instantly try to hide their bodies.

I for one found it was no use hiding your body as they would most likely ogle you anyway. But most of these girls were probably virgins, and these men were the first males to see them indecent. I was not a virgin. Abuse had been about in my human village too, and for two weeks when I was sixteen a group of 5 men had entered the village.

The males of the village had decided that a female from each household would 'keep them company' each night for their stay, to stop a battle between the village and the men from occurring.

My mother had agreed to be 'that woman' from our house, but when the men spotted Lissa and I, they decided they wanted someone a bit younger. Obviously I would never allow my fourteen year old sister to go with these men, so I did instead. I was lead to believe that humans were kinder than our vampire breed of men. But these human males that had taken 5 women from their homes were nothing like the 'kind men' that I had been told about in stories, and so I had lost my virginity in a forceful way. Although now I wonder if it was a better fate than having to lose my virginity to such vile men who capture their own kind and force them to be slaves and bed thralls.

The three men entered the showers with ropes in their hands to tie our hand together and put a leash around our necks so that we could be controlled as though we were dogs. The leash was not tight, but if somebody decided to yank on it then it would no doubt be very uncomfortable.

I briefly wondered if it was the same three men who were tying us up as the men who had captured us. But they were all rather tall, and the man who had knocked me over the head with a crowbar was very short for a guy.

Leading us out one by one and pulling us by our leashes, we were lead into a room that held many prison cells. As I was busy looking around the room I did not hear the many commands of the Guardians and Moroi men in the room, so I was surprised when I had my neck yanked.

The rope from the leash grazed my skin, leaving a red mark and a horrible burning sensation.

"Ass" I muttered aloud.

"What did you just say whore?" a Moroi shouted as he strolled over to me.

"I said you are all an ass!" that remark earned me a back handed slap across the face, leaving me with a bloodied lip.

I spat the blood into his face to wipe the smug smirk off of his lips. Grabbing me by the throat harshly he squeezed hard until I found it a struggle to breath,

"Please, don't hurt her!" Lissa shouted as she tried to take hold of the Moroi's arm to plead with him. That got him to drop me and turn to face her, raising his arm to slap her in the face I head butted him.

"Leave her out of this!" I growled to the disgusting man in front of me.

"Christian, I need your help with arranging these whores into groups" a voice called from across the room. The man in front of me, who I assumed was Christian, turned around and strolled across the room and away from us.

"Rose, will you please behave, I don't want them hurting you. You're bleedin-" Lissa's lecture to me got cut off when we were pulled over into a group of Moroi and Dhampir women. They all appeared to be 18, I was most likely the oldest. The other group of women were taken into another room, where they were most likely placed into sections of 'job roles'.

I had heard about the jobs given to the women. The older women normally got the cleaning jobs, and the younger girls were made to be sex slaves.

The categories consisted of:

maid

Whore

Child bearer

Cook

Assistant

The older women normally got to be a maid or a cook and the younger women were more likely to be a bed thrall for the men or a woman who carried the spawn of the Moroi or Dhampir.

As I was a Dhampir I was most likely to get bed thrall for the guardians. And I was correct.

We were sectioned off; luckily Lissa was kept by me as they hadn't sectioned us off into Dhampir and Moroi yet. Placed in a prison cell we waited.

"What happens now?" one of the girls placed in my section asked. A few of the women shrugged or stayed silent, but one of the girls spoke.

"I've heard about this, it's where the men come in to choose".

"Choose what?" a timid voice spoke. Scanning the group I saw that there was 17 girls in this small enclosure.

Another group of females came in to the room and were being sectioned off into groups, so we weren't the only group of 'whores', most of the prison cells held ten or more girls, and they were rapidly being filled up.

How many girls had been brought in tonight? 100, more than 100? When there appeared to be no more groups of girls entering the room the room quietened down to hushed and worried voices. Nobody knew what would happen next.

But as the girl had said beforehand they were coming to 'choose'.

As if reading my mind Lissa asked the girl.

"What did you mean by they come here to 'choose'?"

The girl with big blonde curls shrugged, she didn't look old enough to be here.

"I'm Mia, and I have heard that the males, they come here to choose their slaves. They get to pick, and the higher up they are in status the meaner they are. I've heard that, that they rape you and lend you to their 'friends'"

This Mia girl was scaring some of the girls in the group and I felt bad for them. I'm sure what Mia said was true, it was likely that we would be forced to have sex with them and possibly other men, but I didn't want the girls to get worried about it before it even happened.

"Maybe we should all just stay calm until we know for sure?" I reasoned.

Many minutes passed and it seemed as though nobody was coming in to 'choose' us, when out of the blue a group of ten men entered the room. There was a mixture of Dhampir and Moroi. The pairings were bound to be 'Dhampir and Moroi' so that eventually the women would be able to carry a child.

The men went around each cell, choosing women to be their cooks and maids, leaving the category of 'bed thrall' till last.

The men's hungry eyes travelled over our bodies as they made their way to the cell. We were each taken out into the room to line up so that the men could get 'a proper look' at us. Feeling their eyes travel over my body made me want to hurl.

A few of the men picked some of the girls out, until there was only four men left without a bed thrall.

Three of the women left were Dhampir, and the only remaining Moroi girl left was Lissa. Looking over at the men I could see that three of them were Moroi with only one Dhampir left.

Lissa knew that he would choose her due to her being the only Moroi left. The Dhampir was tall, incredibly tall actually and tanned as though he didn't come from around here. Possibly foreign?

"Guardian Belikov, remember you have been chosen to take part in the new experiment, so you need to choose a compatible female, she can't be Moroi" one of the men spoke to the tall man.

What experiment? So Lissa would not be paired with the tall man? For that I was glad, he looked scary and twisted so I was happy that Lissa would not have him as a partner.

I scanned the men remaining; among them was Christian-the guy who had hit me in the face. When I looked at him he winked and I thanked god when he pointed to a girl that was not me.

"Her" he said as I silently sang a happy song when I noticed the hand did not point to me. Following his pointed arm I dreaded the worse when I saw it was pointed to Lissa. Precious innocent Lissa had been chosen by that monster to be his whore.

"No, you can't have her, let her go, take someone else, pleas-" my pleading had been cut off for I was now on the floor, someone had grabbed the rope around my neck and strangled me whilst pulling me to the floor.

Coughing and spluttering, I looked up to see the bastard who had strangled me.

"I'll take this one".
