BLOOD DESIRE
Chapter Forty-Six
Outside Nikolay's mansion Sam and Joseph moved swiftly through the woods to a tree which stood proud and tall near the wall, they had taken precautions to cover their scents by covering their clothes and body with ash mixture. Sam automatically stood guard while Joseph climbed the tree to get a better view of the mansion that lay behind the six foot wall. Sam looked around then looked up; he had to admire the middle aged man for his nimble climbing skills.
To his own surprise Joseph climbed the tree without much effect; he could still give the youngsters a run for their money. He found a good sturdy branch that would easily support his weight; he then made himself comfortable before lifting his binoculars. He had heard of the Blood Cartel through stories told by hunters around the camp fire when he was a young boy but they were just stories or so he thought. Since an early age the origins of vampires had always intrigued him but to find the Blood Cartel existed and were in his home country came as a bit of a shock. He surveyed the mansion and the extensive grounds it was mid morning, the sun was still climbing to its fullest height but all seemed quiet just as he expected it would. He noticed like Sam that the only weak spot to the mansion's security was near a tree where the wall turned ever so slightly causing there to a small blind spot, the bushes and the leaf covered tree branches would cover them as they climbed over the wall and dropped down to the other side.

Dean followed Nikolay into the dining room with it long table lined with chairs on each side, he let his eyes roam around the room; he hadn't been in here before but then again there was no reason for him to have been in here. Nikolay motioned for him to sit at the last seat on the right as Nikolay himself took the position at the end of the table. As he waited for the lunch to be delivered he leaned back in his chair and studied his slave. He had given a lot of thought to Dean's request but still hadn't come to a decision yet instead he was mulling over something else. He turned and watched as a young waitress called Vanessa nervously entered the room carrying a tray with two bloody Mary's on.
Vanessa was so nervous she could feel her master's eyes boring into her while the good looking slave sat with him glanced around the room, with sweaty shaking hands she placed the tray down nearly knocking the tall glasses on it over.
Dean who had been glancing around the room at the many hanging oil paintings of Nikolay's in various different outfits and poses suddenly noticed the girl as she approached with the contents of the tray she was carrying clattering slightly. As she sat the tray down Dean noticed that one of the glasses was about to tipple over, with his quick reflexes he managed to stop the glass from totally falling over and spilling most of its contents. He immediately jumped to his feet grabbing hold of some napkins, trying to help the scared girl out.
Nikolay didn't move his face instantly turning to thunder "Dean, let her clean up her own mess, retake your seat"
"Sorry master, I'm so sorry" she babbled mopping up the spilt drink with her apron
"Be more careful child unless you wanted to be punished" Nikolay scolded her, he saw the fear in her eyes as she shook her head in reply "Bring me another and be quick about it"
"Yes master, straight away master"
"Don't bother on my account, I'm good" Dean responded with no conviction in his voice because he knew Nikolay would get his way no matter what he said
"Bring me another" Nikolay replied shooting Dean a warning look that said he had no say or choice
She removed the tray with the one half spilled glass of bloody Mary on it "Yes master"
Nikolay watched the slave girl retreat and then turned to Dean who had obediently sat back down "We all have our place here Dean and yours is not to mop up after a clumsy slave girl". He took a sip of his bloody Mary and studied his slave's face "I want you to be head slave once I have sired Toby"
Dean was stunned "what!"
"The correct response I was looking for was yes, master" Nikolay replied
Dean watched the slave girl return with a freshly made Bloody Mary and a plate of macaroni cheese, she placed them in front of Dean and then retreated as quickly as her legs could move without running.
Dean looked down at the plate of macaroni cheese placed in front of him, picking up his fork he started to play with the food "Surely there are others more suitable then me master?"
Yes there were other slaves who had been with him a long time but this responsibility would help Dean settled in more quickly become part of his little family "I want you Dean, it time you found your place here, the slaves will look up to you for guidance and you will report to Toby, after you have eaten Toby will show you what he expects of you, what we expect of you"
If Sam didn't rescued him before they left for Canada Dean would have to take on the roll of head slave whether he wanted to or not "but" he started to say then realised there was no point in trying to argue with Nikolay, he always won. "Yes master if that's what you want" dejectedly Dean filled his fork with macaroni cheese and ate
Happy that Dean was now eating Nikolay took another sip of his drink and informed him "Don't worry, we will still have time together, once you are well enough again I'm looking forward to tasting you, I've missed our little sessions" Nikolay licked his lips at the thought of Dean's blood running smoothly down his throat.

Sam joined Joseph in the tree and together they decided while it was quiet to use the blind spot to climb over the wall for further surveillance. They were both about to descend when Joseph grabbed Sam's arm, movement near the mansion had caught his eye; he saw the outline of two men leaving the mansion "Look!"
Sam stopped and lifted his binoculars he looked to where Joseph was pointing; as the two men left the front door and came more into view he saw that they were dressed in suits "Dean!" he also recognised the other as Toby, the guy who had brought Jay here. Sam watched as they walked further towards them then turned to go around the side of the mansion; he saw that they were both dressed very similar to each other, they wore black silk shirts and expensive dark grey suits. Dean would never be seen dead in clothes like that so obviously they weren't his choice so it had to be Nikolay's. Sam tapped Joseph on the shoulder and pointed towards the ground then he started climbing down. Joseph also did the same and followed Sam towards the blind spot.
Dean listened to Toby as he followed him out of the mansion's front door "It's a great honour, you should be pleased but somehow I don't think you are"
Dean felt he could talk freely with Toby "I never wanted to be....a ...a slave let alone be in charge of them"
Toby stopped walking once they had around the side of the mansion. "Dean man your still adjusting you need to give yourself more time" Toby thought for a moment "the trouble with you is that you have no confidence in yourself, don't put yourself, you're a slave to the House of Aleksandrov, be proud of it" Toby started walking again.
Dean lowered his head and continued to walk he was once full of confidence, even cocky with it, sometimes to the point of annoying but now he was unsure of how to be confident, he was drowning in a sea of uncertainty. To be confident surely it would mean using his own mind but wasn't that a contradiction to being a slave because as a slave he wasn't allowed to have a mind of his own. Dean shook his head and continued following Toby.
They headed towards the servant's quarters where one or two of the regular tasters were there. Toby walked in and greeted them by name; he had a conversation with them while Dean hung back near the bar and watched.
Finished with talking to the local tasters Toby rejoined Dean at the makeshift bar "You need to know everyone; we don't want any unwelcome guests"
Dean nodded his head that he understood there were people out there like Jack Turner who hated blood banks and tasters just as much as vampires, they didn't see them as just victims. Dean started to shake at the thought of being one of those victims, captured, turned into a filthy blood junkie and enslaved all against his will.
Dean followed as Toby left the building, on the way out Toby informed him "After the siring ceremony I'll be taking over here"
"What you're not staying in Canada with….Nikolay" Dean avoided the word us but he knew that if he couldn't get a message to Sam it would be.
"No our master wants me to keep running this end of his empire while he starts afresh in Canada" he replied as his cell phone chose that moment to ring "Hi" Toby looked a Dean "Ok I'll send him over"
Putting his cell phone back inside his jacket pocket "Dmitri wants you over at the stables"
"Why?" Dean asked
"He didn't say but it's best not to keep him waiting" Toby replied walking back towards the house "When he's done with you come find me"
Dean thought it must be something to do with his new duties as head slave, he watched Toby walk back towards the mansion and then set off towards the stables, as he headed down the wooded path he felt like he was being watched, looking around he hastened his pace, he heard movement behind him and then he was suddenly grabbed by his jacket and slammed against a tree where a big hand was placed over his mouth, he looked into the eyes of his brother.
As Sam removed his hand he felt Dean trembling under his touch, he looked his brother up and down with concerned, Dean looked better, his greyish skin was all most gone but something was off "Dean you ok, he hasn't hurt you? Because if he has I'm going to rip his head off"
"No, I'm fine" Dean wondered when the tables had turned and Sam had become the protector "Sam listen there's not much time, were leaving for Canada"
"The hell you're not" Sam shouted out no way was he letting Dean be taken to Canada
"Tonight after the party"
"What party?"
"He's holding it to restore his honour" Dean replied "Sam, the place is going to be crawling with vampires"
"Let us worry about that" Sam replied
There was a rustle in the bushes behind them and then Joseph appeared "Someone's coming"
