Chapter 3 Deals

It's 10pm and I arrive right on time to the party. The door opens, there stands Klaus.

'Kate, you look absoultley ravishing.'

I blush a deep crimson red.

'Klaus, you are too kind.'

'No my dear I am not doing you justice. Please come in.'

As I walk into the mansion the first thing I see is the biggest most elaborate chandlier as the focal point in the foyer. I look up in awe at its beauty when someone interrupts me.

'That chandelier is over a century old you know.' Kol, the other brother but just as attractive walks up to me. He gives me a once over and smiles.

'You look beautiful Kate. Would you like a tour of our home?'

'Yes that would be wonderful, thank you.'

He gestures forward and I walk into a larger living room. There are several people standing and sitting in various areas. Each drinking, having a good time. The room is beautifuly decorated with matching pitch black leather funiture and very interesting potraits. I walk up to one of the paintings and realize its a man and woman embraced naked. I get a chill that runs up my spine when I see that the man is drinking blood from the woman.

'Klaus, has painted all of the pictures. He's quite talented don't you think?'

'Yes, they are very...interesting. Painted beautifuly but so dark.'

'Please follow me I will take you to my favorite place in the mansion.'

He holds out his hand and I take it. We weave through hoards of people, all of whom stare us down as we walk past. Soon I hear music thumping as we walk into a huge ballroom. There is a DJ at the front and lights all around the floor. There are more people here that probably live in the entire city.

'Do you like to dance?' asked Kol.

'Only when forced to.'

'That can be arranged.'

He smiles at me and nods over my shoulder. I turn to see Tyler and Damon walking through the crowds of people.

'Kate, we have some information on your sister. Please if you will follow us into the study.' Damon points in the direction on the opposite side of the dance floor. I shake my head in agreeance and follow him, Kol and Tyler into the study. Already inside waiting is Stefan and Klaus.

'Please sit down.' Klaus motions towards a dark leather wing back chair next to the desk. I sit and start freaking out. Whats happening?

'We found your sister.'

My heart leaps up into my throat and I can barely speak the next few words.

'She is alright?' I ask.

'Yes, she's fine.'

I let out the breath of air I was holding in. Tears start to fall down my face.

'Where is she? When can I see her?' I ramble.

'In time. We have some things we would like to discuss with you first.' Tyler takes out a peice of paper from the folder he was holding.

'We will allow your sister her freedom if you take her place.'

I stare blankly at him.

'Wait what?'

'Your sister has entered into a contract to be our slave.' Tyler replied matter of factly.

'Excuse me. Like slave as in what she cooks and cleans for you guys.'

'Not excatly.' Stefan was sitting across from me, I stare at him.

'You are going to need to give a little more information than this guys. I want to see my sister now.'

'I told you, we will allow her to go free if you take her place.' said Tyler.

'What my friends are trying to say is if you sign our contract, we will own you. You will do anything we ask, and this will entail sexual acts of course, being our dates to public functions etc. In return we will lavioush you with gifts if you follow the rules but if you break the rules you will be punished.'

I stare at Klaus opened mouth, shocked at what he just said. My sister can't be doing this.

'So my sister is your whore.'

'You can look at it that way.'

'And my sister did this out of her own free will?'

'Yes, we have had fun with her but you just seem so much more interesting. And far more beautiful.'

'Here is the contract. It lays out the rules you must follow and what we expect from you.' Tyler hands me the contract. I stare at it blankly.

'What if I say no. If my sister went into this willingly then let her be. I just want to see her and make sure she is ok.'

'That's not possible Kate. You see if you deny becoming our slave we will just kill your sister.' A huge smile crosses Damons face as he said this. My heart stops.

'You wouldn't. I'll tell the police and...'

'And what? They'll arrest us? We own everyone in this town and no other police departments anywhere near us would dare to interfer or even believe you for that matter.'

I am silent. Holy shit, this is not what I was expecting when I came here. Think Kate, what am I going to do? I know if I say no them they will kill my sister but if I say yes I give up my freedom and I am owned by 5 different men, attractive men but none the less. I stay silent for a few minutes thinking over everything hundreds of times.

'Well Kate we don't have all night. You need to decided now or we will kill Kristen infront of you.' Damon is tapping his fingers aginst the desk. I can tell he's getting impatient.

'I want to see my sister before I sign the papers.'

Damon sighs, and nods to Kol who disappears for a second and in comes my sister. I start to cry and run towards her but Stefan grabs my arm to stop me.

'No no no, before you can say goodbye you must sign the contract.' Stefan has his body pressed up against mine, pinning my left arm behind me, with his mouth next to my ear. I look down at the contract sitting on the desk and nod my head.

Tyler takes a pen from his jacket and lays it down. Stefan releases my left arm and I stare at the contract a moment before I sign. Looking over at my sister, I pick up the pen, and sign it.

What have I done?
