Hello all my fantastic readers! I just wanna thank you all for the fantastic reviews!

Work is crazy at the moment, but I try to update once every week.

Normally I let my friend do one extra spelling check, but this week I did not as it would have resulted in you not getting to read this chapter until thursday. So, if there is some mistakes be gentle with me. :)

Here is chapter 10, Enjoy! :D

Alicia

The sun was shining brightly in my eyes and I loved it, the blue sky and the warm wind comforted me and made me forget all of the troubles of the last few months. 'I can barely believe it has been so long already. It is not that far of until my 20th birthday, not that I expect it to be celebrated but anyway. At least now he are being a bit easy on me. '

Two weeks ago just after the first time both Adras and Cain had bitten into me, I had grown ill. I could barely move, speak or eat which of course was not a sign of good health. The doctor that master Cain had brought to me, suggested air, sunlight, healthy food, some special medicine and less draining of my blood.

The last part had not gone down well with my master and even though I was quite out of it when the doctor told him I still remember the fight that toke place. That was until Yura reminded him of his other sources.

I knew vampires where possessive, and that it was only natural for them to protect their sources but I found it strange of how protective he and recently also Adras was about me. It was not really the kind and caring way, like bringing me things and asking if I was all right. It was more about keeping me close and watching and controlling my every move. It was suffocating me.

'Why could I not even have one single moment to myself?'

Not even now in the sunlight was I left alone, Cain was sitting in the sun chair behind me and I with my back against his toned abdominal. He was lazily playing with my hair and once in a while leaned in to smell it and nuzzle my neck.

I reckon that he was getting hungry as I also could feel my necklace tightening …

Master Cain

'Oh, she smells so good. I wish I could bite into that delicious blood of hers. But the doctor told me no more then once a week for at least a month. Ugh, I hate him. Once a week, I can barely stand one day or an hour.'

I have never gotten this obsessed by a mere human girl before, even if she is a princess I am baffled by my own actions. 'Since when do I consider one of my slaves health this much? Normally I would just have drained them and gotten myself a new one.'

'Thought Adras would never have approved of that. I am still not sure it was a smart thing to let him taste her, but the thought of Daras turning against me together with the heavy intoxication her blood made it seemed like a good idea. I knew he had feed from her two times after that by himself, because his smell lingered on her when I brought her to my room in the evenings.'

The wind wipes up another tendrils of her hair that makes her smell multiply around me. 'I need to feed.'

"Bring me Caroline," I commanded the servant that just reached us with a bowl of fruit. He hurried of quickly.

I felt her body tightened as I suspect she understood what was going on. I stroke her neckline smoothly in an attempt to whine her up a bit. She smelled even more amazing as her heart picked up its pace.

"I can't wait to taste you again Alicia," I spoke seductively into her ear. "You are becoming an addiction."

"She is not only your addiction brother," Adras voice spoke from afar. I could hear the sounds of him moving fast toward us. My muscles tightened as I felt a sting of anger towards my brother.

Alicia jerked in surprise since she had not heard him coming.

"I will bring her back to her room," Adras said with determination.

"No, she will stay here as I feed," I said.

"You don't expect that will upset her?" he asked.

"Well brother I am fully reliant on the fact that you can keep her minds on other thoughts," I said with an edge in my voice.

Even though I did not like it when he was close to my possessions, especially her, I knew that his mind powers was something out of the extraordinary and if anyone was to calm her down it was him.

Suddenly I felt Alicia struggle away from me, it took me by complete surprise and I did not react until she was sitting on an arms length away from me on the daybed. Her back was faced against me.

'What was that? Why did I not react as soon as her muscles started to tense?'

As I let a few moments pass a weird feeling crept over me as if I missed her. She was not going anywhere, just sitting there and looking into the distance. I swiftly reached out and pulled her back to me. 'This is where you belong, not even a feet away from me'

Alicia

They spoke of me as a price or a pet, not to me, but of me. That was something I as a slave was to expect and accept, but that was also the very thing that made my royal blood boil in anger.

I had pulled away from him without him stopping me. 'That was for sure, a first.' It was never my intention to run, I knew I would lose and probably pay for that mistake. But I wanted to show my dislike for the behavior and conversation they where having.

I became as surprised as I expect they where when Cain gave me a few moments before collecting me back to his side. His hunger was great at this time since his fangs were out and he had once again his lips against the nape of my neck. Furthermore the necklace was slowly limiting my air supply.

Adras was observing us, his eyes glowing. I shivered slightly to the hunger in his eyes. The first time he bit me it had been excruciating, but from then on it was becoming more and more like a drug. It was different from Cain venom, which always turned me on and made me all sexual.

Adras poison sent me into bliss, I always felt indulged in total and complete happiness. If that was only the venom or if his powers had any part of that feeling I did not know.

I did not like the fake way his or Cains powers affected me, it was all a lie, emotions that tricked my body leaving it confused when I came back to reality.

I did not want Adras powers on me, even though it would be good for the moment, there where always consequences I did not want to face. But If I wanted to get out of this mess I needed to be tricky.

I turned slowly toward Cain in his lap, and placed my head and hand against his hard chest. I breathed in and out heavily and nuzzled very discreetly against him. Then I look up against him quickly before I pulled my eyes towards the ground again.

"Master?" I asked with a very soft and submissive voice that almost surprised myself. He looked down at me.

"Yes Alicia." He seemed amused.

"Please don't let him use his powers on me, I will be fine. I will stay here with you. The feeding doesn´t upset me that much. You have fed from me so many times by now, I am used to it."

"Hahaha" Adras laugh surprised me. "She is a god actress Cain..." He concluded amused.

I narrowed my eyes at him and attentively stroked my fingers against Cains chest.

"She is, isn´t she?!" Cain answered back smirking down at me. "Such a cleaver little human, trying to play on her female traits." He stroked my cheek slowly and lifted my head up so that my eyes meet his.

"Are you sure you can take it?" His question made me confused. I searched his eyes for any clue to what he meant.

He smiled at my confusion, and then I saw Caroline coming toward us kneeling next to us.

"Take what Master?" I asked.

"What I am about to do!" He smiled evilly, and continued. "Lets put you to the test. You will sit back with Adras behind you. I will do what I wish with Caroline and you will watch me and not make a move or a sound." My eyes widen. 'What if I can´t?'

"If you don´t pass this, there will be consequences, the first one is that Adras will take control over your mind." I gasped slightly and tried to brace myself.

Adras seemed pleased as he got up on the huge daybed we were on and Cain shifted me towards him. I sat very still and looked at my master as he ordered Caroline onto his lap.

He was not very gentle with her, less gentle then I ever seen him with one of his personal sources. He literally launched his fangs into her and a scream escaped her lips.

I stayed as still as a statue and focused on my breathing. I did not want to overanalyze what was happening right in front of my eyes. The minutes passed and Caroline grew more and more limp in my master's arms. Suddenly I saw a flare of fear spread into her eyes and Master Cain´s now black eyes locked with mine. I saw the hunger and amusement in his eyes as Caroline started to fight for the little life source that she still had in her.

'He is killing her' the realization of it all hit me like a punch in the stomach and I could not control my actions.

"No, no please don't kill her. I am sorry master but please don't…" my voice stopped and I could feel Adras hands on me and his power already laying a mist around my mind. It swept me away from the reality at hand and I simply relaxed and fell into a sort of oblivion.

I still saw what was happening, I saw how Caroline with her last energy tried to get away but how Cain simple smiled at her attempt and sucked her dry. She fell to the ground as he released her dead body and he threw her limbs away from him.

I had witness him drain and kill humans before, but not one of his sources, someone I knew. 'Caroline'

"Let her go Adras." His command was harsh and he lay down, in the haze the drinking always caused.

The fog evaporated from my mind and all the feelings came back. Tears started to flow from my eyes slowly down my cheeks and I felt like I was going to hurl. It hurt so bad.

"Not that good of an actress yet my dear," Cain was speaking up into the air and Adras was moving away from me. He lifted the body up and carried it away without any respect to the woman she had been.

Tears were still in my eyes and my breath was irregular and came out in sobs. I couldn't focus my eyes at anything it felt like the adrenaline had heightened in my body. I looked around as if searching for a solution to all of my problems. Mostly I refused to look at the monster that just killed Caroline.

As my eyes found the back of the garden I saw a tree that had grown big, so that it reached to the high top of the wall.

'I could escape!' My thought was not really logical and all I wanted was to get out of there.

I stood up slowly as I noticed that it looked like Cain had dozed of and the guards had actually moved into the castle again. My steps were slow and lazy, as I wanted to draw as little attention to myself as possible. I turned my body around and kept on walking as if I was exploring the garden. 'If I could just get up without being detected, I would be free.'

As the thoughts and distance of my possible freedom came closer I quicken my pace. I reached the tree and hovered myself up it. I climbed faster then I ever had and I felt my muscles tighten from this sudden physical activity.

When I reached as far as I could be in the tree I launched myself against the stonewall. 'I actually reached it.'

One moment later I felt a hard tug and a snap of a bone in my ankle and I fell down hard on the ground.

The breath flew right out of me and the pain stung from my foot. I tried to breath but I couldn´t and once again panicked roamed inside my body.

My master did not let me rest, he bended forward and picked me up over his shoulder. I started to fight him, with arms and legs and I struggled as much as I could.

"Let me go, you are a monster!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Oh trust me Alicia, you are not going anywhere!" He seemed amused in his dark way and continued his forceful path in to the castle.

What did you think of it? It is always fun to here what you liked the most, so please tell me! It will be inspiration for the next chapter! ;-)
