Snippet #2465063

Melita had by now scurried back to her seat beside Azalea, smiling softly at the girl beside her. As soon as Julius walked in, the young woman went still, simultaneously terrified and mesmerized by the vampire male. She swallowed hard, eyes watching him as he entered, eyes going wide as he spoke.

Half the people in the room were ampires? Looking around, she started to notice the stark contrasts in the undead versus the fellow humans she was with. Escape from this many vampires? As sure as miss Azeala sounded, Melita doubted it would be so simple, if even possible. She shivered, wondering if any of them were hungry. She hoped not, as being fed from was not a pleasant thought. Any concern over the vampire aspect was immediately forgotten at the realization of her situation.

Servant?! She would be a servant? But she hadn't done anything! Mouth slightly agape, Melita looked about to protest when Julius stood beside her. All that came out was a slight squeek in surprise.

The male's words echoed in her mind as he introduced himself and her as his human. She was his?! But who chose? And would he do to her what he did to Azeala? No, he had said he wouldn't. But obviously he wasn't to be trifled with. Despite shaking in fear and uncertainty, Melita looked up at the vampire claiming her, feeling her cheeks grow oddly warm in startled embarassment. His declaration of 'mine' made a slight shiver run down her spine. What would happen to her now? She wasn't a servant!

Glancing at the others, Melita once more thought that this Julius was by far the most handsome man she'd ever seen, and the other vampires didn't compare. Although looks were the least of her concerns. He was just as intimidating, and currently identified her as some form of property. Her red cheeks went back to their normal hue, only to progress into a fearful pale.

"B-but sir....I haven't done anything! I only recently saw one of your kind for the first time." the young woman reasoned, thinking this some huge mistake, probably a bad dream. She hoped it was.
