Nata's Pov
I stared at him, shocked. Why didn't he kill me? Or maybe, I might've mistaken him for the red eyed creature. Although it was still a question in my head.... As he stared into my eyes, I noticed a sudden flicker. His eyes turned from red to black then all of a sudden it went back to the normal form.
" Where's the marketer?" He said, his voice low. Barely looking away from me.
His brother stared at him for one second, and the next he snapped back into action. " You can leave bro, I will make payment." He said, nonchalantly.
At that moment, the marketer approached us, he had a black suit on, his green eyes filled with awe, but quickly, he hid it. His hands crossed above his chest. I watched as he stepped closer to the red eyed guy's brother.
" How much?" He asked,
" My king, as an appreciation of your kindness," the seller smiled, he just locked his gaze into the red eyed guy's brother. "You don't need to pay, you can buy another one. But she is free for you." He said.
" Okay," the red eyed guy said, almost immediately, he continued towards the crowd. And in the next second, he was gone.
After everything was done, I was packed up with shackles, and that was how I was taken to the car. And we drove off.
I could not help, but kept imagining how life would be if my blood was constantly sucked. Will I be his slave? Or, will I end up dead after tonight. That was all the questions I asked myself as the car proceeded to the unknown.
The car stopped in front of a huge mansion, it wasn't the old creepy type I had pictured in my head. Part of it was made out of gold. The big oak door matches the elegance of the ancient symbol. There was a big crest symbol at the top of the building.
I turned to look to my right, and multiple cars were parked there. Wow! This is pure wealth. The king's wealth. As I waited to continue checking on the beauty of this room, I was pushed. I almost lost balance, but managed to get myself back up quickly.
And slowly, I was dragged into the mansion by the red eyed guy's brother. He was too brutal, he didn't give me time to breathe at all, he just kept dragging me.
As I was dragged through the elegant mansion, the maids all kept staring at me like I was a plague. Their gaze sent chills down my spine. I couldn't shake it off easily.
I was taken to a room, and given new clothes. The room was huge, and when I meant huge, the bathroom alone was the size of my old room. The chandelier in this room could be my old home, it was glistening white. The whole room has a magical warmth, I had searched if there was any AC here. And there was none, not even a ventilation system.
Something was cooking in this building. I hummed a low song from one of Billie Eiliesh's. My voice filled the whole room. Suddenly, I felt I could hear things from as far as the red eyed guy's voice could be heard.
" Marcus, do not harm her. I think it's just reincarnation." He said.
" But, Dracula, it's not what it seems. All because she is your mate, you forgot she was once our mum's killer?... That's awful." Marcus said. His voice was very similar to Dracula's brother's voice.
" I didn't forget, I am waiting." Dracula paused, " she has the smell of a human, but I taste something else in her blood." He said.
As I perked my ears to listen more, their voices disappeared. I couldn't hear anything. I strained my ears, but no matter what, I got nothing.
" That's weird." I said to myself, walking towards the bed.
" I think she is not human." Dracula's voice came again.
But, as I got interested and wanted to listen more, it wiped out again... After many attempts to listen, I wasn't able to. I got tired of trying, so I laid down on the bed. I stared at the ceiling, my stomach churned hard... I was hungry.
Suddenly, the door swung open. Almost immediately, Dracula came in... I didn't have time to think, so I just jumped out of bed. My heart is racing.
" Your majesty." I said subconsciously, knowing fully well that he's a king. I had to play along.
" Inform the maids to bring human food in." He said, his voice low, cold, and sharp.
" What?" I asked, spreading my hands into the air dramatically. " I am new here." I said.
He raised his brow, the cold walls on his face slightly broken, replaced with that confused look. " Ain't she supposed to be weak and scared like the rest?" He said.
" What do you mean?" I asked, moving closer to him.
" Step back, he is talking to me." Marcus's voice cut through from behind the door.
" Oh,"" I said. Swiftly turning as I made my way back to the bed.
I was ready to die, but I wouldn't make it an easy task. I needed to make my little stay here memorable. I need to show them that I might not be strong, but I am crazy in the head.
As the food was brought in, I quickly collected it, mulching on it like I had been hungry for days. But, actually it wasn't days, it was from the night I got to the vampire's black market.
Later on, I was done eating. And Dracula? He wasn't in this room, he was gone. Like gone. He didn't even stay close. I tilted my head slightly, resting my head on the pillow. Images of how he touched me at the black market kept playing at the back of my head, I couldn't shrug off the feeling I got while I remembered that confused look on his face.
It turned out I was his mate, and the theory was still there, was I human? And will he kill me?
