Reviews are like sugar, they are so sweet.

My vampire mind tried to process the letter but nothing would make sense. I didn't know how I got in this situation. One minute I was looking for my next meal, independent and free, and now I had become someone's property. The room no longer looked like a palace but instead a prison.

Panic started to flood my brain and I ran towards the window. Escape was the only thing that my head could think of. My instincts were kicked into overdrive and I crashed through the window. Shards of glass flew around me as I landed gracefully into the snow. My eyes scanned the environment for any sort of threat that I would need to evade, but in that second I heard a voice.

"Greenhorn, get your ass back in the house," the woman growled.

I turned around and looked into her angry eyes. I was not afraid of this woman, the major for sure, but this woman I could take. Bending down into an offensive crouch, I stalked towards Violet. My nostrils flared and a vicious snarl ripped through my chest.

"Like hell I am. Try and stop me."

Violet met my crouch and growled deeply. We circled around the yard letting out warning hisses when she made her move and lunged forward scratching my arm. I sped around behind her and landed a powerful strike to her head. All that was running through my head was that I needed to end her, and in a rush of wind I sped to the clearing where she laid. Rage filled my entire body as I started to bite and tear at Violet's limbs. I could barely hear her screams over the buzzing of my wrath.

Just as I was moving towards her throat I started to fall into a feeling of utter uselessness. A wide variety of terrible emotions started coursing through me and I fell to my knees. I tried to crawl away but that was the wrong move to make. The sorrow that I felt took over me and my mind started to go through every nightmare experience that I had had in my life. I was reliving the pain, sorrow, and most of all the fear of my life. I wanted nothing more then to die, for this pain to end. The shame I started to feel was excruciating, but it brought the memory of the young girls from the river. The thirst began to stir.

"Well now darlin you seem to be having conflicted emotions," the Major whispered sweetly.

I could barely let out a whimper, because that is when the thirst got out of control, but I couldn't move.

"Aw sugar your thirst is getting worse. I can help you right now, but there is going to be some concessions on your part. Would you like me to help you?"

I nodded and the pain began to subside, but my throat was still on fire. I let my mind wander so that my body could begin to relax.

"Violet," he said sternly.

"Yes Major?" she squeaked.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes Major. The wounds are already healing."

"I believe you still need to inform Miss Shayla of how this compound works. It is very important that she understands that this type of behavior is unacceptable," he whispered snidely.

"Yes Major," her eyes were downcast and submissive.

"After you are done with her you will bring her to me. As for you Miss Shayla, go get cleaned up and listen well to Violet, she is your mentor. It would be in your best interest to pay attention," he said as he picked me up off the ground and put me on my feet.

With that, he was gone. I was left in shambles and Violet was left in shards. We looked at one another; we were two kids in trouble.

"Umm…sorry…I…uh, kinda lost control there," the least I could do is to apologize.

"Whatever greenhorn, it wasn't as bad as what I did to my mentor…haha the Major wasn't around to stop me from tearing her into pieces. Now come on, we have to get a move on. Don't worry the Major will feed you," she said with a smile.

We walked up to the house, but my throat was burning so bad. Going into a house with humans was going to be a sheer test of willpower and I did not want to face the wrath of the Major again.

"Don't worry, we are going to go through your bedroom window that you demolished. I will be quick about things."

With that we jumped in through the jagged window.

"Okay, here are the important things to know. You won't be able to escape, you will be caught and the Major has more ways to punish then to just manipulate your emotions." Oh so that is what he was doing. "You will learn that our master is a strong, powerful, passionate, and aggressive man. Take that into consideration when you start to experience the physical aspects of the relationships. It is also very important for you to listen and do as you are told. If you have questions all you have to do is ask me," she stated quite frankly.

"So, you are basically telling me that we are his sex slaves?"

"I wouldn't say that. We are his companions through thick and thin. The sex is just a naturally occurring thing. You will fall into place and understand things better…either that or you will be killed."

"I'll be WHAT?" I shouted.

"God greenhorn you are so naive about the vampire world. I don't think I can explain everything for you tonight, shit we have wasted a lot of time…come on," her exasperated breath said as she pulled me through the door.

We took off down the hall and through another set of doors. The office she took me into was huge. The back wall was completely covered with windows. On either side of the room there were bookshelves filled to the brim with books. The large oak desk sat in the middle of the room and sitting in the chair was my Aries.

The Major was looking at maps and writing in a large leather bound book. He didn't acknowledge our presence. He should have said something, or at least looked up. I was suddenly getting very jealous of the attention that he was paying to his books. Violet smacked my arm.

"Stop staring, and follow my lead," she whispered low enough for my ears only.

Violet walked forward with her head down. I followed her lead; if she was still here then she must have been doing something right. Violet got on her knees in front of the desk and I did the same. We sat there for five minutes, just staring at the floor and the only sound in the room was that of the Major's pen. Finally he stopped writing and spoke. His voice was cold and deliberate.

"You may speak Violet."

"Master, I have given Shayla the basics of the house and I intend to help her more tonight. I have brought her here like you asked me to," she said meekly.

"Both of you look at me."

We quickly complied.

"What happened today was unacceptable. Shayla your actions disturbed my home but Violet it was your responsibility to watch over her and guide her. Your lack of responsibility put people in danger," his voice was sharper then daggers.

This was the day that I knew that this man…Major Jasper Whitlock, was going to mold me into a better person. The Major got out from behind the desk, and in a moment he was right in front of Violet. He had rage in his eyes but it was an eerie calm to his demeanor. He began stroking Violet's hair as if she was a precious doll, and in the next instant he slapped her. I picked up my head, and started to get up.

"What are y…" I started before I was met with a smack that put me back to my knees.

"Do not get involved, you will receive your punishment as well but first you have to see the point I am making," deadliness covered each word.

Ok, so that is chapter 4. It moved a little slower then I thought it would but it will get a little lemonier later. Also I want to point out that I am not supporting abuse in a relationship. It will be explained soon I promise. Also if you are not a fan of BDSM stuff then continuing this story will probably piss you off.
