Here's the next chapter. Enjoy
~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~ Chapter 2 ~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~
In the human community, which was in the area by the palace, there was a young woman giving birth to her first child.
In the community there were one or two vampire nurses to deal with the sick, injured or births. It was important that none of the children die at birth so that the population would stay strong.
The woman had been in labour for 10hrs now and was just about ready. Her partner was there next to her, holding her hand. After another hour the child was in the world and crying along with his mother.
The nurses took the child away leaving a worried mother and father in the room. The nurses had taken the child out to clean and were astounded by its beauty and knew instantly that the child, regardless of gender the child was for the King only. They still had to take a blood test anyway and found the child had the sweetest blood ever. The poor child was fated for the King with two duties, a blood servant and part of his harem.
The nurses returned the child to its parents who were waiting anxiously for what was to be of their child, they didn't even know the child's gender.
When the nurses arrived they had the child wrapped in blankets before passing the child to its mother. She cradled her child carefully and lovingly. She smiled happily down at what they found to be their son.
"What has my son been fated to?" He asked.
"He is a blood servant and harem for the King."
The boy's mother sobbed in complete and utter sadness. She hadn't wanted that for her child, nothing anywhere near close. She would have preferred for her child to have a life like her and her husband. A safer life, one where he could live happier one.
~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~
As the child went through his life he was continuously watched by the guards and nurses for any health issues that would threaten his life.
He didn't have any real friends so he would spend the day wondering around the community and playing in the backyard by himself. Everyone avoided him for the fear of hurting him and then having to face the guards. The only people who would not avoid him were his parents.
"Yugi!" His mother called.
A small boy that looked like the age of a 5year old but was really 8 came running inside. His large amethyst colour eyes searching for his mother. His hair was a black gravity defying three pointed star; it had an amethyst lining the top and three gold bangs framing his face on each side. He was small for his age as well and was going to have a soft build by the time he left. His parents giving him for the last couple of months different types of exercise to keep him busy. They did this so he would stand half a chance when he left to go to the palace.
"Yes mama?"
"Time for your exercises. You do good and I'll let you go play for an extra hour outside."
"You always let me play outside longer." Yugi said giggling, before running off to his room.
"Come back here you cheeky little boy." His mother said as she laughed.
Both ran into Yugi's room and his mother grabbed him easily as he tried to dodge her and laid him on the bed and started to tickle him. Yugi cried out in laughter as he tried to squirm out of her hold. All too soon his mother stopped and lay down next to her son as he panted softly trying to regain his breath. As soon as he calmed he curled up to his mother.
"Mama why do I have to do these exercises?"
"Yugi I've told you sweetie that when you are thirteen you are going to the palace to work as the King's servant. Please don't ask me again Yugi." She said softly trying not to cry.
"I'm sorry Mama." Yugi said softly knowing he upset her.
"It's alright, come on let's get these exercises done and you can go back outside and play."
"Ok, can you tell me a story instead?"
"Alright."
"Yay!" Yugi cried out happily and got to work on doing his exercises.
~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~
" Inished." Yugi cried out quickly.
"Yes but you say finished. There's an F at the start."
"Fin...Fin...Finished?" Yugi said slowly.
"Yes that's right. Finished."
"Finished! Finished! Finished!" Yugi cried out happily and clapping his hands. "Story! Story! Story!"
"Alright." His mother laughed.
Yugi crawled into his mother's lap and cuddled up there as she started to tell him a story.
~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~ 3 Years Later ~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~
Yugi woke on his thirteenth birthday and walked to the kitchen and living room area where his parents were already. His mother's eyes were red and puffy from crying, his father had a sorrowful look on his face. They had packed a couple sets of clothes into a bag the night before.
Yugi slowly moved in and sat on the mat in front of the table. They ate in complete silence. Yugi was scared like everyone else. His parents had told him a year ago why he was going and what he was to do and he was petrified by it. He didn't want to have the King doing that to him but he didn't have much of a choice.
As it got closer to midday Yugi was getting even more scared and his parents were getting more upset as the minutes passed by.
All looked at the clock as it struck noon before jumping when there was a hard set of knocks on the door. Yugi's mother burst into tears and his father answered the door. Yugi grabbed his bag of clothes and walked to the front door, his mother following beside him. There were 6 palace guards there and a dozen or so other children the same age standing in a group and all were crying.
"The boy Yugi who is for the King's harem and blood supply is to come with us immediately and is not authorised to bring anything with him."
Yugi's mother burst out crying and Yugi as well started crying and dropped his bag to the floor and hugged his mother tightly as they both wept. Yugi's father hugged him after his mother and him finished.
"You be careful alright." He said softly in his ear.
"I will. You both too."
Yugi's father let him go and Yugi's mother grabbed him again. The guards getting fed up, grabbed Yugi's arm and wrenched him from his mother and shoved him to the group of other kids, them catching him before he fell. Yugi's mother having cried out when he was taken from her. The guards led the group away. Yugi looked back at his parents to see his father holding his screaming, crying wife back.
Yugi felt a hand on his shoulder and looked over to another kid. The kid nodded his head forward and Yugi followed silently, tears streaming down his face.
~~∞Ω∞Ω∞~~
Yugi's eyes were wide along with many other kids as they were led through the palace. They were a few servants that wondered through doing their jobs they were assigned. They would cast their eyes to the kids before wondering on.
They were led down to the very back of the palace where the servant quarters were. They got to a long corridor with doors 20 meters apart on each side of the corridor.
"Alright listen up the lot of you. We will go through the categories and you will go into the door we tell you. Your master is your teacher. Depending on what you are doing depends on when you start working, but you will be taught on what you are doing then after you have finished you will be put to work. Let's go. Cleaners?"
A couple of kids nervously walked forward and were sent through the door on the left, before walking further down the corridors. They went through cleaners, cook, cook assistant, personal servants, healer assistant before they got to the last two.
"Blood servants?"
Yugi and a couple others stepped forward and pointed to the door. The others went forward and Yugi nervously took a stepped closer to the guard in charge.
"E-E-E-E-Excuse m-me s-s-sir?" Yugi stuttered fearfully.
"What?"
"I'm in the harem and blood servant."
"Then you will go to the harem. The master is the same for both blood and harem. You will stay in the harem quarters because there is nothing much you need to learn."
Yugi walked with one other to the very end where the last door rested. Yugi and the other kid, who was a girl, looked at each other before walking through the door.
