**A/N Don't own Twilight, etc etc... This chapter is tame, but it's setting up the rest of the story, it's going to get better quickly! (How quick might depend on the reviews!)**
I walked with the two girls as we waited for the three vampires to finish their business with Victoria.
"The Cullens are absolutely the best you could have hoped for." Alice said with a smile.
"They don't treat us like dirt, they care about us." Rose added.
"If they care so much why do they keep you here? Why don't they change you into vampires too?" I demanded.
"Well, if they didn't take us, someone else here would, and no one else treats their slaves like the Cullens, and they do want to change us, but they wanted to wait until they had three that they felt fit the family right. The man they consider a Father changed his slave, and now they live together as husband and wife." Alice said with a wistful smile. These two girls were clearly brainwashed I decided. Regardless of how attractive or nice the vampires who bought me might appear, they were still monsters, and they bought me to be a slave, for sex and blood.
"Masters!" Rose and Alice exclaimed, giving a small bow towards the three vampires that approached us. I raised my eyebrows as I looked at the two girls, both with wide smiles on their faces. The vampires smiled at them. "Ladies..." The tall, dark haired, buff one said as he put his arms around their waists, placing affectionate kisses on their heads. The two leaner ones both acknowledged the girls as well, the one with longer hair kissed their hands, and the shorter haired one went directly for their lips. The girls appeared to swoon at the affection, and I noticed other girls that were milling around the town square gazing at them jealously. The three vampires turned to me.
"We know you're scared, but you need to know we aren't going to hurt you, unless you behave in a way that requires it." The dark haired one said to me. For once in my life I was speechless as I looked at them. "My name is Emmett." He said as he reached his hand out to me I flinched instinctively. He smiled slightly. "It's just a handshake." He said. I reached out and shook his hand. "This is Jasper" he told me motioning to the longer haired one. "And this is Edward."
"And your name?" Jasper asked me politely. Their amber colored eyes seemed to look through me, but I was grateful they kept them on my face.
"Isabella... Bella." I said nervously, biting my lip.
"Beautiful, it fits you." Emmett said. "Ladies, our new addition needs clothes, and all your human comforts. You may take her to get what she needs, have the shops deliver it to the house. We expect you back by 7." He told the other two.
"Yes sir." They both said with twin smiles. I jumped as Edward took my hand.
"Calm down..." he whispered as he fastened a bracelet to my wrist. It was a plain silver bracelet, with a "C" charm hanging on it. "We find the branding to be an ancient barbaric practice." He said to me. "You are not to take that off under any circumstances."
"OK..." I said. The two girls shook their heads slightly. "I mean, yes sir." I said, biting my lip. Edward nodded at me. The three vampires walked away from us, Alice and Rose locked arms with me and walked to a row of shops off the square.
"Clothes aren't a problem for us, but there's only one shop that stocks 'human' things, so there's not much choice." Alice told me as we walked through a door. A pretty brown haired female vampire greeted us.
"I see the boys have finally chosen someone else." She said with a smile at me.
"Yes ma'am." Rose said with a smile.
"Well I hope that she works out, and you three can join me in running this place!" she said motioning to the goods.
"Only female vampires are allowed to work in the town, not the humans." Rose whispered to me as I wrinkled my forehead in confusion.
"Bella, this is Esme. She is Carlisle's wife now, we told you about her earlier remember?" Alice said to me. I thought back to the story of the boy's 'father' and his slave he turned.
"It's nice to meet you... ma'am." I said remembering Rose's use of respect towards her.
"Well, I assume you are here to get things for Bella, so let's get started, burn through some of that money the boys seem to love throwing around." Esme said happily. After gathering things like toiletries, some food and drinks, clothes and many other miscellaneous things the girls sat with Esme as they told me the rules I would be expected to follow.
"First and foremost, our Master's word is law. If they tell you to do something you do it. The Cullen's don't like hurting us, so our punishment is doled out by the town's disciplinarian mostly. He's very cruel and vicious. You do not want to do anything serious enough to warrant a visit to him." Alice told her.
"You're already learning that we show the utmost respect to the vampires. They are to be called sir or ma'am. Edward, Emmett, and Jacob are to be called Master unless they tell you otherwise. If a vampire tells you to do something, you are to do it, unless it breaks one of the cardinal rules. If it does, you are to immediately call for one of the Master's. You will be given a cell phone that only calls the Master's and us. Do not call them except in emergencies, or you will be punished" Rose said, motioning to a short set of rules displayed on the wall. I walked over to read them.
TWILIGHT'S UNIVERSAL SLAVERY RULES
1. Do not punish another's slave unless given permission.
2. Do not drink from another's slave unless given permission.
3. Do not touch or use another's slave sexually unless given permission.
4. Do not cause permanent or lingering damage to another's slave.
THESE RULES ARE PUNISHABLE BY A COURT HEARING RESULTING IN FINES, SLAVE HOLDING RIGHTS STRIPPED, OR BANISHMENT FROM THE TOWN
I shuddered at the fact that this had happened enough that they had to post official rules. I touched my necklace absentmindedly while I thought about the current situation.
"Where did you get that?" Alice asked me, interrupting my thoughts.
"Oh, my Mom gave it to me a long time ago..." I replied looking at the simple heart pendant on a white gold chain.
"It's very pretty." Esme said with a smile. "Well you girls better get going, I'm sure Bella would like to freshen up and see the manor. And I'm sure the boys are anxiously awaiting your return." she said with a wink. I felt sick to my stomach. Surely they wouldn't want me right now, they would give me a few days to adjust... but even as thought it, I knew I was wrong, after spending that much money, anyone would want to immediately test out the merchandise.
We walked through the small shopping district and into a a more residential area. The whole town reminded me of a typical 'Small Town USA" except for the giant wall surrounding it. Rose noticed me looking at the wall as we walked past the huge houses. "The gate has a sensor on it, only vampires can leave." She said, practically reading my thoughts. We came to a house much larger than the others, larger than anything I'd ever seen. The girls walked up to the door quickly, motioning for me to hurry up. I walked up to the door as Alice opened it. "There's really no need for them to lock the doors." She said as we walked into the foyer. We walked through to home, as they pointed out the various rooms. The backyard was sprawling, with a huge garden, pool, tennis courts, hot tub, and deck.
"Who takes care of all this?" I asked, my mouth agape.
"Once a week some vampires come to do all the yard work and cleaning. You see, we are living in the 'Beverly Hills' of Twilight. Only the most successful vampires live here." Alice explained to me. "As long as you behave, you can go where you please by yourself on the property... except the Masters' living quarters of course. If you want to leave the house, you have to ask one of the Masters' and they usually only let us if you are going to be accompanied by one of them or if we three go as a group... it's safer. Don't worry, they like to take us out and show us off. "
I laughed grimly at her last word... safe? In a city of vampires? We walked upstairs and they showed me where each of my... Master's living quarters were, finally at the end of the hallway was our living area. It was cute, a small kitchen and living area, a large room holding three beds, a huge bathroom, and one room full of clothes, jewelry, makeup, it was a girl's dream. Alice walked over to a vanity and clothing rack where the things we had picked out earlier in the day were already set up.
"How did it get here so fast?" I asked them.
"Vampires are very fast!" Rose said. "Alright Bells, go get showered up, then we can all help each other primp up.
"Primp?" I asked her hesitantly.
"For the master's of course, normally we just get ready in the mornings, but today is a special day!" Alice said, pulling a blue halter dress that I didn't remember picking from my rack of clothes.
"Why?" I asked.
"Well, because you're here of course!" She chirped. She handed me some rather revealing undergarments and shooed me to the bathroom. I looked at the huge garden tub, and wished I had time to soak, but I didn't dare take my time. I got into the shower, washed, and got out, toweling myself off, i looked in the mirror. I knew I was pretty, I had a nice body and great hair, but did that warrant a sentence to life as a ... sex slave? I put on the underwear and walked back into the dressing room where Rose and Alice were fixing their hair. I wasn't sure what to do next, but Rose pointed to the vanity where they had laid out a curling iron and hair dryer. After fixing my hair, I looked through the makeup, wondering if any of this really mattered to a vampire. I settled on light blush and eyeshadow with mascara and lip gloss. I looked at the dress Alice had pulled out for me and sighed. "This is it" I thought to myself as I carefully put it on, and slipped on a pair of kitten heels that matched. Alice and Rose looked me over and smiled.
"So what do we do now?" I asked them.
"Well it's not quite 7 yet, and I know they wanted us to wait until then while they prepared, so we have a few minutes to talk..." Rose began. "Do you have any questions for us?"
That was a stupid question. I tried to pick out the most important questions at the time. "Do they drink your blood?" I asked not seeing any marks on their necks.
"Yes they do, but its not like what you see in movies, they rarely bite your neck." Alice said, pulling her neckline over, I saw faint teeth marks on her collarbone. "It's more about where they feel like biting that day."
"Does it hurt?" I asked quietly.
"Not really, it kind of gives you this sexy feeling high. That's why they usually do it before sleeping with you, makes you even more into it." Rose said her eyes shining.
"Do you only sleep with one of them?" I asked wondering which one was 'mine'.
"Oh no, all three take their turns with you depending on their moods, they usually give you at least a few hours to recover though, its a pretty intense experience." Alice told me.
"Do they hurt you?" I asked, remembering the bruised girl in the town square.
"No no, it'll probably hurt the first few times, they are bigger than most normal men. Not to mention stronger, but we are extremely fortunate that our masters want us to enjoy it." Alice said smiling again. Both of them smiled entirely too much for 'slaves'.
"Each one has their own style, Emmett really likes role play, games and being adventurous... sometimes he'll accidentally hurt you, but never on purpose, and if he does he always feels terrible and showers you with gifts and compliments and kisses until you're better." Rose began.
"Jasper is more romantic. Candlelight, wine, chocolate, foreplay... all of that." Alice said sighing.
"Edward is very into the control, he never wants you on top, and wants to tell you exactly what he wants. It's nice because you don't have to think about what they would like, just do what you're told, and mmmm enjoy." Rose finished.
I looked at the clock and realized it was 3 till seven and started to get very nervous. "I don't think I can do this, I can't just make myself want to have sex with them, I'm so scared... I can't..." I started shaking, hoping that I wouldn't start crying.
"Oh Bella, its going to be ok, they know you're scared, they'll just help you out." Alice said. "Vampires have an ability to make you feel what they want. My first time Emmett just placed the thought in my mind that I wanted him, and I wanted to be with him, even though you know it's being put there, it does help. Soon they won't have to though, once you realize how lucky we are."
The thought of being happy here was laughable to me.
"Jasper really likes placing suggestions in your head! One time he made me need him so bad I thought I was going to bust!" Rose said with a smile. "Ok it's time to go meet them!" We walked out of the room and I followed them downstairs.
"Do they just... start?" I whispered as we made our way to the backyard.
"Oh no, well... sometimes... but usually they like to hang out, talk, and do normal 'date type' things. It's surprisingly normal." Alice told me.
"Except the part where they drink your blood and make you have sex with them while you call them Master..." I thought to myself. I was shocked when we stepped outside and onto the deck. The whole deck had been strung with lights and torches, there was a table set for six, with champagne chilling in a bucket. The scene was like something out of a romantic movie, not a horror story. The three men stood as we walked outside. Alice and Rose picked up their paces while thanking them for the beautiful evening. I approached slowly as they all watched me. I felt like there was a spotlight on me, and just wanted to disappear.
"You all look beautiful tonight." Jasper said to us, causing Alice and Rose to blush and giggle like love sick teenagers. "Please, sit." he said motioning for a waiter of some sort to come out. "Obviously, we aren't hungry, but we thought you girls might enjoy a bite to eat." The waiter placed a plate of grilled chicken and mashed potatoes in front of me. I couldn't remember the last time I had eaten anything, but watched Alice and Rose, waiting for them to begin before I ate. It's very strange to be watched while you eat, and I tried my best to not do anything stupid like spill or chew with my mouth open. I didn't want to get drunk, but I figured maybe it would take the edge of what was to happen the rest of the night off, so I drank from the glass the waiter placed in front of me. After we had finished with our meals, and were on the second glass of champagne between the three of us, Emmett turned to me with a smile.
"Well Bella, we thought since it was your first night with us, perhaps you'd like the choice of who you would be with tonight." I almost gagged on my champagne... I was supposed to pick who drank my blood first, who I slept with first?
**Cliffhanger... after this chapter, things are going to start getting very dirty, fair warning! PLEASE REVIEW! The more reviews, the more motivated I am to post frequently! Thanks for reading!**
