AN/ I own nothing. This is a rambling delusional fic. Just go with it. Review it, comment it. Love it? Hate it? Tell me :)
Crystal chandeliers dangled from cavernous ceilings as Cali and Kat gasped in utter shock. Marble converted the banisters of a sweeping staircase, mahogany floors glimmering beneath them.
"You will stay here for now until you have finished your training." Marcel said. "Now go clean up, you're both filthy." Shoving Kat and Cali into the arms of housekeepers, Marcel turned on his heel and vanished.
"Who the hell are you calling filthy? If we are filthy its because of the conditions you kept us in!" Cali screamed in hopes that her protest was heard.
Pulled along through a mirror lined corridor, Cali and Kat were thrust into a blindingly white room and promptly stripped of clothing. Tripping from the sudden shock of cold, they were ushered into the tubs set side by side on the other side of the room.
For the next hour, the two girls were poked, prodded, washed up, brushed, and primed. Hair trimmed, and make up applied with deft hands. Thrown from the bathroom back into the white room, clothes were tossed to and from Cali and Kat as they were paraded about like models, until the perfect outfit was found for each.
"What do you think Kat? Do I look like a pretty whore or what?" Cali said, twirling about in her black miniskirt and shimmering royal blue corset.
"Why you make a lovely whore Cali, what about me?" Kat asked, fluffing her blonde curls as she curtseyed, the silver dress sliding up her thighs, tripping slightly as her ankle bent backwards from the six inch strappy stilettos.
"You are such a pretty whore, a little uncoordinated, but pretty." Cali giggled as she walked over to Kat to adjust her curls.
"I don't like these do you even walk in these things?"
"Slowly, and carefully. Whatever you do, do not under any circumstance do the dinosaur arms while you are walking."
"Why would I ever do that?" Kat snickered.
"Yes, because its you, the last time you walked in heels was a year ago when I forced you to go to prom."
The girls collapsed on to the couch in the massive expanse which they assumed was a closet. Their laughter wouldn't last very long as the door opened. In walked whom they could only assume was the main housekeeper. "You girls are wanted in the main dining room immediately. Please use haste."
"I guess we've been beckoned," Kat said extending her hand to Cali. "Together?"
"Like always. Ever since the day you said you hated that bitch too." Cali half heartedly laughed as she took her friends hand as they walked into their own hell.
"If only we were going to face Mrs. O'Cleary in fifth grade. Not an evil sadistic vampire mad man." Kat muttered squeezing tight to Cali's hand.
"Yeah I almost miss that sadistic bitch right about now. Though I guess she was right, we are going to hell." Cali said.
Double doors loomed in front of them for a second, until they swung open, revealing menagerie of people, blood flowing loosely down their lips, vampires.
Marcel walked to the girls and took them both by the hand. He stopped in the middle of the room and told the girls to spin, not wanting to get eaten they did as they were told. Finally Marcel spoke, "Understand that these are not for you to taste, feel free to look or touch, but no tasting."
If the girls weren't already frightened, the look on the vampires face would have been enough to make them quake with fear.
"You two better behave now, otherwise I may have to become violent, and we don't want that now do we? Just act pretty and follow everything I tell you to do. If you do anything out of line, I will kill you in an instant. Are we clear?" Marcel hissed, forcing the girls heads to bob up and down as shudders slithered down their spines.
The girls were forced to turn for multiple vampires, all of whom had no issue touching the girls as they walked past. Eventually they found the way to the bar which to Cali's relief was serving alcohol. "I'll have two shots of tequila, and a midori sour."
Quickly downing their shots the girls began to circle the room trying to keep the furthest distance from Marcel as they possibly could without being obvious. Until one man dressed in a finely tailored suit approached Katerina, once he was close enough he lowered his head so his nose was at the base of her neck. As the man took in a deep breath Kat squeezed Cali's hand, as a silent plea of help.
"Ahh, B, my favorite if only I was allowed to taste." The man said in a thick southern drawl.
Cali held out her wrist whispering, "I may not have a B blood type, but I won't mind if you take a nibble of me. I could never turn down a southern gentlemen like yourself."
As the last word left her lips her head was wrenched backwards as Marcel pulled her hair. "Well now, that sounds like you disobeying orders Miss Accalia. Do you not remember our conversation from just a few minutes ago?"
"Yes, sir I do remember. Its just that this man is very attractive and he wants to taste. Doesn't southern hospitality rules say you must accommodate your guests?" These words earned a slap that sent Cali to the ground. She could taste the blood from split lip. "Kat, I'm so sorry." Cali said standing up. Once she was at her full height plus the extra six inches of high heels, she spat the blood that had been pooling in her mouth directly on Marcel's face.
"LEAVE! EVERYONE NOW!" Marcel roared as he wiped the blood and spit off of his face. His fellow vamps fled the premise. "How dare you disrespect me? Do you know what happens to those who disrespect me?"
"If I'm lucky, you'll snap my neck and let Kat free but I don't think that's where you goin with that." Cali had lost all regard for her safety. Most likely do to the fact that he had made her bleed and possibly the tequila.
"Oh no, honey you will be begging for death after what you have in store." Marcel grabbed Cali by the arm with such force that there was an audible snap.
Cali bit her lip trying to keep the tears from leaking out of her eyes. "It will take more than that to break me, Marcel."
"Ann!" A young woman no older than 30 came scurrying into the room. "I want you to take this disobedient whore down to the room where we take those who don't know how to act. Also please make sure they set her arm."
"Sir, should they give her any medication for her arm?" Ann responded in a soft demure voice.
"None, she can receive medication when she is on her best behavior."
Ann lead Cali down the corridor and to the cellar stairs. "If you just do what you're told he won't be so cruel to you."
"Yeah, I don't submit to anyone. I refuse to be his little pet. I won't, I can't." Cali's voice trembled as she finally started to cry. "If no one stands up to him, then there is no hope for any of us. Its my fault Kat is in here and I won't let her get the brunt of any of Marcel's twisted misogynistic world."
Ann stopped short of a door and directed Cali to open the door and enter. The bright light and sterile hospital smell assaulted her nostrils.
The doctor was blatantly compelled to be there. The setting of the arm took all of 5 minutes, Cali felt excruciating pain as the doctor just wrapped her arm in an ace bandage and gave her a sling, with the instructions don't move your arm.
Ann was waiting for Cali outside the door. "Your room is right here, there will be one meal at noon, I believe there will be water whenever you ask. Marcel will have access to you at anytime he wants. Be very careful, nothing is worth what you will endure here." The door closed as she left Cali alone with her thoughts.
"Please, someone hear me. Any cosmic power that wants to help me, please help. Tell someone where we are, we need someone to save us. Katerina has a family to get back to and I'm sure Rick is losing his shit worrying please please tell someone where we are. I don't know how to as-" Cali's prayer to whatever deity was listening was interrupted as the door swung open and in walked Kat.
Cali rushed Kat and gave her the tightest one arm hug that she could. "I'm so sorry Kat, I just lost it. I've been making my own decision for so long I couldn't take being ordered around." The tears that had stopped after her arm being set begun to flow again and more freely.
"Cali, its okay. Don't cry, we'll get out of this together. I have a plan." Kat smiled at her friend as she sat crumpled in her arms.
"Wait Kat what are you talking about? Why are you down here? I mouthed off so I'm here, why are you?"
"You know you aren't the only with a mouth on them." Kat smirked.
"So what is this genius plan of yours?"
"Its simple we are going to take this cellphone," Kat pulled the phone out of the cleavage of her dress, "call Rick and tell him where we are and he will get us out of here. Easy as that."
"Where in the hell did you get that?"
"Well while you were being a well needed but unasked for distraction I pick pocketed the guy who you wanted to eat you. Speaking of which, the hell were you thinking?"
"I should still have some vervain in me and I was just hoping to freak them out so they would leave us alone."
"Cali, you are so freakin stupid. But I'm glad you are okay."
"Well you always said that I was a survivor, I was just you know, putting it to the test. Give me the phone, we should send a text first, it's,less noise and is less conspicuous." Cali said as Kat handed the Iphone over. Speed typing Rick's number into the phone Cali shot off the message:
SOS. Kat and I have been kidnapped by some vampire named Marcel and are being held prisoner in some fancy house in New Orleans. You better fucking help us, you owe me that much. Sooner the better Rick.
Tossing the phone off to the side, beneath some pillows on the couch Cali and Kat situated themselves in normal positions as the double doors to their prison swung open and Marcel entered.
"Ahh well it appears you two are more trouble than I expected, time to condition you two to behave." With his pointer finger Marcel beckoned Kat towards him. "I was expecting you to be the one to be easy and not the one who would think to try to plan an escape. Now go fetch me that cell phone in between the couch cushions."
"Wha-what are you talking about? I'd never try to escape, I know better. I just said that I hope you burn because you hurt Cali and the bartender gave us tequila. I can't hold my liquor and it makes me braver than I actually am. I'm sorry, Sir." Finally the forced year of taking drama had worked in Katerina's favor.
"If I find out you are lying to me little girl I will kill your little friend over there, then all of your family as you watch. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Sir."
"You are to stay here for three days maybe longer depending on your behavior. As for you, my spicy little bitch, you are to come with me. Then we will discuss how long you will be down here." Marcel led Cali out of the room and down the hall, as Kat sat not knowing if her friend would return. Her best bet was to try to rest so she could fight back when the opportunity presented itself.
