Chapter 3
Damien interrupted her train of thought, by saying, "We need to go." Alice follows him out the door and into a long hallway. They walked down the hall in silence. They went down a staircase turned into another hall and then walked to a door. After they walked inside the laughter they had heard stopped almost immediately. Alice frowns and looks up at Damien.
Damien was giving everyone in the room the evil eye. All of them were cowering under his gaze. Abruptly he starts to walk to the front of the table, there was a chair next to him that she thought was for her until a different girl sat in it. Damien bent his head down and whispered in the girl's ear. The girl frowned at what he said but left anyway.
Damien gestures at Alice to sit down where the girl had just sat. Alice glares but he looked at her and finally she sits down. Afterwards she looks around at what she guessed were vampire or werewolves. There were girls seated next to all of them. She noticed that everyone in the room was male except for the girls that sat next to the vampires and werewolves.
A few people came in late, and once all the seats were filled Damien stood up, I have claimed a new slave. She is mine so leave her alone or there will be hell to pay. All the vampires looked to him to Alice, and when Damien nodded his head slightly, they bent the heads and bit the girl that was next to them. Alice stares, barely noticing Damien's lips on her throat until he bit her. A few pulls of blood later he releases her. She tries to stand up but was a little dizzy, so she almost falls. Damien stops her from falling again. Alice barely notices the vampires leaving the girls behind as they walk out. Damien picks her up so he could take her to his room.
When they are back at Damien's room he bits into his wrist and put it to her mouth forcing her to drink his blood. She jerks up in about a second and spits out the most of the blood. "You better not be trying to turn me into a vampire or I swear I will fight you till one of us die." 'I wasn't trying to turn you into a vampire. Our blood heals humans." "Oh. My bad." To change the subject she asks, "Where is my room?" "Four doors down the hall." Alice kept her face expressionless as she walked out the door, thinking, 'Sh**, escaping will be harder than I thought. He'll be able to hear me if I try to leave.'
She walks straight to her room and looks around impressed. There were 2 beds, the walls were painted this mostly blue but hinted with green walls. The floor was light brown wood, which had a carpet that was the same color as the walls only a little darker. There were two dressers, and an attached bathroom. She heard the door open behind her. She turned her head and saw Mary walk through the door. 'Dam* Damien and his smartness, I don't have a chance at escape now.' Was Alice's first thought, but she smiled and faced Mary, saying cheerfully, "Hi Mary" Mary smiles back and replies, "Hello Alice, I hope you don't mind, but you're going to be rooming with me." "That's fine. I'm just going to go to sleep." "Ok. Goodnight"
Her eyes opened, she could have sworn she heard a noise. She pushed herself into a sitting position and looked around, Alice saw that Mary was still sleeping. She laid back down on her bed and closed her eyes. What seemed like only a few minutes later she woke up to Mary shaking her. Drowsily Alice asks, "What do you want? Let me go back to sleep." "It's time to get ready for breakfast."
Alice glanced at Mary's face and saw she wasn't going to win the argument. Sighing sadly she got out of, showered, and got dressed. When she left the bathroom three different sets of hands pushed her back in, and forced to sit in the chair in front of the mirror with all of the cosmetics on the counter. As soon as the arms let her go she jumped up and whirled to face them. In front of her were three women. One of them was Mary, the other two looked like twins they both had long black hair, and their eyes were the color if mocha. And their skin was dark. "What are your names?" Alice asks. "I'm Katy." "I'm Angela." "Pleased to meet you, I'm Alice." They both nod their head in acknowledgement. "Ok, let's get to work." Mary says.
Alice eyed her suspiciously, "What do you mean?" "We need to do your makeup, and hair." Says the twins and Mary. "No, not again! I thought it was a one time thing!"
Alice rushes out the door thinking 'this seems familiar.' As she runs out the door she sees a man blocking her way. She saw that it was a vampire, and it wasn't Damien so, she did the first thing that pops into her mind, she kicked him in the nuts. The vampire, probably not expecting her to do this, didn't block her kick and fell to the ground. She turned around and saw Mary and the twins staring at her mouths open. Mary recovered the quickest and asks, "Why did you kick Damien's best friend?" Now it was Alice's turn to look shocked, "In my defense I thought that he was going to kill me, and I did the first thing I thought of."
She heard a sound and turned around, the vampire was on his feet, looking at she, shaking his head. "I will never let Damien convince me to guard a room that has you in it." "I didn't know you were Damien's friend." Damien walked down the hall to them, and both of them glared that him for around a minute until Alice yells, "I don't need a bloody bodyguard!" Then the other vampire says, "She kicked me." Alice and the other vampire continued glaring at Damien as his mouth twitched to the smallest smile. "Charles wasn't your bodyguard, he was there to keep you inside the room, and mate I'm not sorry she kicked you, she shouldn't have gotten the chance." "You didn't tell me she would kick me if she ran out and saw me." "I didn't think she would kick you." Alice getting tired of them arguing said, "Both of you shut up. Your name is Charles, right." Charles nods. "Nice to meet you now I need to go to breakfast." "Nice try, go with Mary and the twins and get ready, then they will show you where the kitchen is. Charles and I are going to stay in your room tell they're done with you." With that everyone walks Mary's and Alice's room. She sat though Mary telling her to turn her head this way and that.
When they were done, Mary tells Alice to look in the mirror. She was wearing a long blood red dress. Her eyes had liquid eyeliner and plain eyeliner around them. Her lips were a dark color of red. Her eyelashes were long and black. Her shoes were 4 inch black high heels, after practicing last night with Mary, she could walk without falling.
When she walks into her room Damien was reading a western novel, while petting a kitten that was all black except for his belly, nose, and paws. The kitten leaped off Damien's lap, and walked over to Alice. It rubbed her legs, she picked the kitten up and it rubbed her cheek. Damien walks over says, "I figured you would want a pet, I saw you looking at the pictures with animals longingly." "Thanks." She set the kitten down, and said "I'm going to name you Oreo! Now, let's go eat!"
