The only sounds that came from surrounding countryside was that of animals roaming the night hunting and surviving as most did in this changed world. For centuries, humans had ruled by day and creatures of the night in the dark. An owl swept overhead from a branch before a high pitched squeak brought a smile to the lips of at least one person occupying the back of the black car rolling silently towards the gates of the mansion just outside of town. In his hand a glass of what appeared to be wine perched delicately between gloved fingers as slightly cold reddish/purple eyes turned towards the other occupant of the car who sat as far as possible from the aristocrat beside her.
â??Smile dear it isnâ??t as bad as all that.â? A smooth voice purred before taking a sip from the goblet.
â??Fuck off.â? The female in return snapped angrily as she continued to sit there arms folded legs crossed as he scowled.
The car soon pulled up outside an old gothic looking mansion, the old stonework covered in strands of moss and other plants giving it an eerie feel. The gravel shifted under the car as it drove up the driveway, revealing the black slates and highly maintained gardens. The girl frowned as they pulled up, faces passing by covered in dirt and grime as they tended to the gardens. Why at night though? It seemed strange to her.
The door of the car was opened by the driver who was dressed in a simple suit and a black collar was fastened around his neck. He bowed as the male climbed out and he then just stood there as the female was hauled out behind rather ungracefully by the chain around her neck as she shuddered in the cold air and glared at the raven haired male who just walked to the front door, tapping a cane as he walked on the ground.
The great wooden front doors seemed to open of their own accord before a young man in white shirt and black pants appeared with a bow. Behind men and women scrambled with the cleaning of a great hall, many on hands and knees scrubbing away.
â??Is Lord Caine available?â? the raven haired lord asked smoothly looking down at the nervous youth who gave a sharp nod keeping his eyes downcast.
â??He is sir. Please, let me show you through to the study. Iâ??ll go and fetch him personally.â? He replied stepping aside to show them in. â??Please allow me to apologise for the staffâ?¦Weâ?¦â?
â??Do not worry about it. Just tell Lord Caine that Raoul is here.â? He said simply. â??And he bears a gift for him.â?
The slave nodded as the doors were closed behind them and the female was dragged into the house kicking and screaming almost as she was forced into the house and shown to an office like room.
The man known as Raoul took a seat and forced the girl to her knees at his feet as she hissed trying to get up until the cane smacked her thigh numbing her leg and she growled angrily yanking on the chain trying to get away from him.

The slave ran upstairs to where heâ??d last heard the Master was before knocking on the door and entering with a low bow. â??Master, Iâ??m sorry to disturb you, but Lord Raoul has arrived and he bears gifts for you. He is waiting in the study.â? He said before bowing and leaving again without a word to return to work.

Upon Caineâ??s arrival, the vampire in the room stood and gave a respective and polite bow. â??My friend.â? He said smoothly. â??I bear you gifts on my passing through.â? He continued voice as smooth as honey. He hauled the chain in his hand and forced the girl in front of him with a proud smirk. â??I picked out this beauty for you. I thought sheâ??d be of use.â?
The girl was forced to stand there even though she wasnâ??t happy as she just hissed at them both. She stood at five foot six inches with a slender body in an hourglass shape. Her slender legs smooth and long rising up to an almost perfectly flat stomach which gave way to only muscle and sat between two large firm breasts held up at present by her rather revealing attire. A red and black bikini with strapless top and matching wrist protectors around her wrists adorning her almost paled body. Brown hair the colour of milky chocolate hung around her shoulders and piercing blue eyes were narrowed at present glaring at her captors. Around her neck, the black collar with chain hung keeping her at least for now in the room.
â??Her nameâ??s Xiao and sheâ??s a nineteen year old beauty. Untouched and untrained. I thought youâ??d like a challenge.â? He smiled before shifting as Xiao just spat at the two of them angrily. â??Iâ??m not anyoneâ??s toy!â? she growled.
