It hit 9pm. He stopped washing the last dish and dried his hands after turning the water off. He had to be somewhere. Somewhere at 9pm. It was the forest. He pulled on his jacket and saw the Nomicon glow. He ignored it though. He had to be somewhere. It meant the call would have to wait.
Grabbing his keys, Randy left the house and locked it up. Heading towards the woods as fast as he could to avoid being late. For what he wasn't sure but he knew he had to hurry. Lucky for him, it wasn't too far from his house. He ran deep into the woods and stopped to catch his breath.
"You are late," A voice said.
He turned to fight but stopped. The orders from before returning and making him obedient once more. The vampire cupped his slaves chin and made him stare at him.
"Almost my slave," He said pulling him closer. "Almost. There are loose ends to tie up. Like your memory. Much as love how you are now. I prefer...a blank slate."
He was sure he could erase it for good alone but to be on the safe side he brought a little magic. A spell he devised to make it permanent. Lucky for him though this kid was already his. Tonight, if all went well, he'd have him.
"Stay still," He ordered Randy.
He got a silent nod as he let go. Randy didn't move as ordered. Just listened to him as he started to chant the spell from memory. He wasn't sure if it worked though. There was no ideal way to check.
"Randy..." He spoke, getting the dazed look back on him. "Do you know who you are?"
Randy shook his head. The orders were still there. So now...he could go to work. Rewriting his past just enough to make him perfect. Then once done. He'd make it set in stone. He started right away. Telling Randy that he was his from birth. Born a mute slave and would die one with the desire to do as told no matter what. It was a simple past but a slave to him didnt need much.
Once done, he spoke up again.
"When you wake again Randy. You'll remember all I told you and all the commands and nothing more," He said making the boy fall asleep with the snap of his fingers.
He smirked and caught him. Too easy.
The next day, Randy woke up and blinked. He was in a bed? It was odd because he didnt remember going to bed. He sat up and then panicked. His master would kill him if he got caught in a bed! He wasn't worthy of that!
He stood to get up an saw his master watching him. He hunched slightly and averted his gaze as his master spoke towards him.
"You fell asleep on me," He said.
Randy bowed his head. Waiting for punishment.
"I cant forgive that," He stated. "Stand still, your punishment is simple but cruel."
He was grabbed by the arms and felt a painful bite on his neck. It was punishment though. Since birth he served him and it was the first mess up yet clearly his master didnt care for it. He felt his master drain him of almost all his blood before finally pulling his fangs out. He was made to look at those cold eyes.
"Dont ever do it again!"
He would have nodded but he was let go and dropped. Falling weakly to the floor and watching his master claim the bed. The sun was up so his master would sleep all day. It sounded great to him as well. He felt sleep pull him in to help his body recover from such a large drinking session.
Only to make him dream of odd things. Him attending school, becoming a ninja...it was awful. This wasn't his life at all. Nothing about these things felt right. Here and there, he felt a connection to some ginger boy but that was it. It was still wrong to him.
He woke and sat up in a cold sweat when the dream of some book hit him. Looking around, he saw it was 7 and the sunset had just set. He stood quickly as his master woke. Making him bow as he stood.
"We move. Lets go"
Randy nodded. Running to the door and opening it. Not moving as his master slowly walked through and ordered him to run ahead and scout it out. He ran downstairs and saw nothing. Makin him return to his master's side and bow to show it was safe.
"Good, keep this up and you will have a reward. One I am sure you will enjoy," His master stated.
Randy would have smiled but he didnt want to get in trouble so he did on the inside. Following his master down and spotting a bag with a red glow inside it. He was tempted but didnt move.
"Before we move" Master Arnauld spoke, looking at Randy. "I am going to ask that you stay...in a trance for a little while. I trust you but I dont trust the world now a days. Things have changed and you may change as well."
Randy didnt like trances. He had no feeling or free will. He was mortal with no voice so he felt inhuman already. No free will and he might as as well be a doll!
"I know you hate it but I just dont want to risk losing the best slave I have had," He said, making Randy look him. "So for a little while...you are my doll."
A red glow got the vampire's attention after putting Randy in a permanent trance. Something he planned to remove once he handled all the loose ends still. He saw the Nomicon in human form. Glaring at him for no doubt, stealing his pupil.
"You are too late. Randy is mine," He said.
"Arnauld, you'll not take him from me," The Nomicon stated coldly. "There are ways to remove what you have done to the boy but I will do so once you are gone."
Arnauld started to laugh. Making the Nomicon growl.
"I have rewritten his memory, changed his personality and turned him into a doll. You are already too late Ninja," He shouted pointing a finger at him. "Your pupil is mine for the rest of his mortal life."
"I can not allow this to happen," He said. "Prepare yourself."
"This will be fun," Arnauld grinned.
