I let out a moan as I felt Azriel's fangs sink into my neck. She laid on top of me holding my wrists down, it didn't matter because I was already too weak to fight her.  Since I got here they have been injecting me with a drug that weakened me. Not only did it make me sluggish but it also prevented me from regenerating quickly.

She continued sucking my blood, biting deeper into my skin making me feel more pleasure. Vampires were able to make their victims feel pleasure or pain when they were bitten. She never made me feel pain only when I was being punished. I gasped as she took her fangs out of my neck. She stared at me with her bright red eyes. "Your blood tastes so sweet," she smirked.

She finally released me and got off. She stood up and smoothed out her dress. I lifted myself up with one hand while the other covered my neck. I could still feel some blood on my neck. I swung my legs off the bed and got up. Another bite mark to add to my older ones.

"May I go to the b-bathroom," I asked keeping my eyes low. 

"Yes, you may," she said. I quickly bowed my head and walked to the bathroom on the other side of the room. The bathroom looked modern and was massive. There is a glass shower along with a large porcelain bathtub. The room was painted a navy blue along with some white marble floor tiles. I walked toward the sink and looked in the mirror at the bite. There was slight swelling around it and some now dry blood. I grabbed a towel and dampened it with warm water. I wiped away the dry blood from my neck.

I stared in the mirror. My eyes are two different colors. One is dark blue and the other was a pale white. My father is a demon and my mother is an angel. I also have a speech impediment and stuttered a lot. I was often bullied because of it and also my strange looks. I wasn't supposed to exist. An angel and a demon were never meant to be together and it was considered taboo. That's why I am looked down upon.

Other than my eyes I looked normal, my hair is a auburn color and was not too long, and not too short. My hair ended at my ears with some bangs that ended above my eyes.  I have a olive skin tone but I was now much paler because of the loss of blood and also from the drugs they've been giving me.

I washed my hands and put the towel in a basket for the maid to wash. The bleeding on my neck had stopped. I may not be able to fully heal but I could still stop the bleeding on smaller wounds. I walked out of the bathroom and Azriel stood there leaning against the wall giving me a smirk. She was wearing a knee length red dress along with some red heels. "Is there a-anything else you n-need ma'am," I ask keeping my eyes to the floor. 

She walked toward me lifting my head up with her finger, making me stare into her now violet eyes. "Yes, you see tonight we will be hosting a ball party and I need you to help greet the guest with me. You must also dress formal and help the waiters serve drinks." 

"I understand," I said trying to hide the fear in my voice. Parties were very dreadful; the royal treated me like dirt and everyone looked at me with judgmental eyes. It also gave Azriel a reason to punish me if I did something wrong. Previously she punished me for not being respectful enough and slouching too much. Fortunately it was a small punishment that I could handle. This time it is a much bigger party and I know she will have my head if I make a mistake. 

She left the room and I sat on my bed. When did I become so pathetic? I am suppose to be the strongest creature in the world; but now I am enslaved by  vampires. 

Flashback

I sat on a hill top watching the sunset. My hair was no longer wet; but now damp, after some kids in my class decided it would be funny to pour a bucket of water on me. Luckily I had a change of clothes in my locker. I felt tears prick my eyes. I wasn't strong enough yet to fight them. I was suppose to start growing my wings this year like every other angel or demon on their 18th birthday. With the wings came power and strength. 

I wipe away the tears and stare at the now dark sky. My parents are probably worried about me, I should head home. I stand up and grab my bag that was still soaked with water. I walk down the hill and start heading home. As I walk through the grass I hear the sound of footsteps. I turn around and just then I'm pushed to the ground and land face first into the grass. I try getting up but am slammed back into the ground. I feel multiple people grab my arms and legs holding me down.

"Let me go!" I scream struggling to get out of there hold. I try turning my head to look at my attackers and then I feel a sharp pain in my neck. I let out a scream as the pain got worse. 

The let go of me and I quickly put my hand to my neck and sit up. There are five men standing around me all wearing black cloaks that covered their whole body and faces. My vision starts to blur and I notice one of the men holding something. I squint my eyes and see he's holding a syringe in his hand. My vision starts to go black and my body becomes weak. I try to scream once more time but it comes out as a whimper. I feel myself fall to the ground then everything goes black. 

-

I woke up in a dark cell. I heard a door open and then slam shut; then the sound of voices. Then a bright light lit up the cell and I saw a women and a man standing in front of my cell. What's happening? "This one is special, he's a hybrid from a angel and a demon." A ruff voice said. How does he know what I am. I sat in the corner of the cell afraid of what they would do to me. 

"I think I'll take him, how much?" the women asked. "Two million," the man said. 

Shortly after they left. I sat shocked in the corner. What is happening, and what does he mean by two million. This must be the black market my father always told me to watch out for. I stand up and look around the cell trying to find a way to escape; but found nothing. The door opened back up and the man came back. I stood in the corner as he unlocked my cell. I only have one chance. 

"Come here boy," He reached to grab me and I quickly punched him in the face as hard as I could. While he was disoriented I ran out of the cell; closing it behind me and locking him in. I look around and saw a door at the end of the hallway. I ran towards it and opened it. There stood three guards staring at me with questioning eyes. Two grabbed me before I was able to run while the other went to let the man out from the cell. I struggled but it was no use. I was brought to a office. The lady from before stood there, the guards still holding a tight grip on my arms. 

"I'm Azriel," she spoke in a soft voice. She had long blond hair and violet eyes. 

"I'm your new owner," she said giving me a sadistic smile. 

Present

I wore an all black tuxedo with a red tie and some black dress pants like every other waiter. I stood next to Azriel, who was wearing a beautiful black gown. We stood at the door greeting people as they walked in.

"Welcome, Caius," Azriel spoke in a sweet voice, smiling at the vampire. I kept my eyes low trying not to draw much attention to myself. "Who is this young man? "The man Caius asked in a low voice. I felt Azriel grip my arm letting me know I had to introduce myself.

I look up at the vampire. His black hair ended just near his ears and his bangs were swept to the side and he had a sharp jawline, and his eyes were red meaning he hasn't had blood in a while. "My n-name is Cole," I say struggling to keep eye contact with him. He looked me up and down making my skin crawl. He gave me a smirk then walked away.

"Listen Cole, Caius is a very important person. Do not make a mistake," Azriel said narrowing her eyes at me. "Yes ma'am,"

We continued greeting the rest of the guest. I couldn't get him out of my mind. The way he looked at me frightened me. After we greeted all the guests I was sent into the kitchen to help the waiters serve glasses of wine. Every kind of supernatural creature was here, vampire, werewolves, angels, demons, and even some fairies. Mostly the rich came to the parties. I walked through the crowd of people, offering drinks.

After a couple of hours I took a break, I walked into the kitchen area and leaned against the wall, closing my eyes. My legs ached from standing for too long.

I felt someone grab my arm harshly. I opened my eyes and was met with Caius red eyes. I barely had time to react before I was thrown into the storage closet. He closed the door, locking it behind him. My heart rate picked up. "W-what are you doing?" I stuttered, terrified.

"I just want a taste, of a hybrids blood. They say a hybrids blood is more special and valuable than any other creature here."

He gave me a sadistic smile and started walking towards me. I backed away as far as I could before my back hit the wall. I felt like a small helpless bunny, being cornered by a large ferocious wolf. I tried to run around him but he quickly grabbed me and slammed me back into the wall, he grabbed the collar of my shirt and pressed his body against mine. He held my arms above my head with one hand.

"P-please don't d-do this." I stuttered. I couldn't control my stuttering, it always got worse when I was nervous. He used his other hand to tilt my head to the right. He loosened my tie and unbuttoned some of the top buttons on my shirt, giving his access to my neck. He brought his face closer to my neck. I felt his fangs drag along my neck before I felt them sink in.

An unbearable amount of pain came, making me whimper. I struggled in his hold but stopped when he bit deeper. I opened my mouth to let out a scream but he quickly covered my mouth with his hand. Tears sprung to my eyes but didn't fall.

He took his fangs out from my neck. "Your blood tastes amazing," he said staring at me with bright red eyes. He took his hand away from my mouth. He tilted my head to the left this time. "Stop, please." I begged.

He ignored my cries and sunk his fangs into my neck. I expected to feel pain but instead I felt pleasure. I tried to keep my mouth shut from making any noise but it was futile. I let out a moan as he continued drinking my blood. I closed my eyes as he bit deeper and deeper making it more pleasurable. My body started feeling weaker, and I wondered what Azriel would say when she saw the bites. My body started to feel heavy and my legs got weak. The only thing holding me up was the vampire. "Let me g-go," I said in a whisper. I was losing too much blood.

He finally let me go and I slumped down onto the floor, breathing heavily. I put my hands around my neck trying to stop the bleeding. It was more difficult since I was much weaker. He kneeled down in front of me. I flinched when he lifted my head up with his pointer finger. I stared into his eyes, they were no longer red but now a light blue. He smirked at me, my blood still on his lips. He brought his face closer to mine, I could see the lust and desire in his eyes.

Suddenly his lips connected with mine. My eyes opened wide, he was kissing me. I lifted my arms and put them on his chest trying to push him away but he didn't budge. The kiss became heated and he licked my bottom lip asking for entrance. I kept my mouth tightly closed, while still trying to push him away. I felt him bite my lip making me yelp. He took the chance and forced his tongue into my mouth, I could taste the blood flowing from where he bit my lip. He grabbed my hair and pulled me toward him kissing me roughly. I felt something stir inside me, what was this feeling. My arms dropped to the floor, no longer trying to push him away.

He finally let me go and I took a deep breath trying to get air back into my lungs. I stared at the ground, my hair falling in front of my eyes. How could he? He stood up and I looked up at him. "You'll see me again very soon," He said giving me a smug look. He opened the door to the storage room and walked out. I stayed sitting on the floor still shocked. I brought my fingers to my lips that were slightly swollen. "He k-kissed me but I-I don't like guys, right?' Although I tried to deny it I couldn't deny the feeling I had when he kissed me.

I stood in the bathroom, wrapping a white bandage around my neck. I just couldn't stop the bleeding. My skin was much paler and I still felt weak. Azriel must be looking for me now. I walked out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. I grabbed some glasses of wine. My mind drifted back to the kiss, what did he mean by 'you'll see me soon' I shook my head trying to forget about him. I walked out of the kitchen and into the ballroom. I prayed I didn't see him.

I walked out and I immediately saw Azriel walking towards me, angrily. She stood in front of me, her eyes narrowed. "Where have you been," she whispered/yelled. She noticed the bandage around my neck and looked around the room. She grabbed my arm harshly and took me into the kitchen. "Why do you have a bandage on?"

"I-I..." I couldn't find the words to explain. My hand started shaking. "Spit it out!" She yelled.

"It was C-Caius" I finally said.

"You better not be lying," She said in a serious tone, narrowing her eyes. "I- I promise I'm not, he t-t-took me into the storage room, and bit me" I stuttered. She closed her eyes, sighing. "I want you to go back upstairs to your room and stay there,"

"Yes ma'am," I was surprised she wasn't mad at me, I walked out of a different door in the kitchen that led to the stairs. I walked up the stairs and down the hallway to my room. I wonder why she wanted me to stay in here.

I laid down in my bed staring at the ceiling. I touched the bandage, reliving what happened in the storage room. What was that feeling; it was strange, I never felt that before and it frightened me. I started to doze off. My eyes closed and I fell asleep.

-

I slowly opened my eyes. Azriel wasn't back yet. I sat up from the bed a moved my hair out of my eyes. I got off the bed and walked out of the room. I know she told me to in my room but I was hungry and tired of being in there. I walked down the stairs, heading for the kitchen. I heard voices coming from a room. One sounded like Azriel, I peeked through the door that was slightly open. I saw Azriel and the man I'd rather not see right now, Caius.  "Do you agree?" Azriel paused then spoke "Okay, I agree. I'll let Cole know." Agree to what? And why did she say my name? I tried to hear more not realizing I was pushing the door. The door made a loud creaking noise, and immediately Azriel and Caius looked my way. "

I stood frozen in fear. "What are you doing here," Azriel scowled. I couldn't say a word. She sighed and grabbed my arm, "Please excuse me Caius." She dragged me out of the room.

"I told you to stay in your room." She glared daggers at me. "What were you saying to C-Caius?" "That is none of your business, now go back to your room and stay there!" She yelled. I nodded my head and begrudgingly headed back to my room. I felt like a little kid. I got upstairs and headed back to my room. I wonder what they agreed to, they were talking about me. I sat on my bed once again. There was nothing for me to do. Usually she would tell me to help the other servants clean but today she didn't. I just stood looking out the window. I could see the garden that had different types of flowers growing. I saw another section that was growing fruits and vegetables. I wasn't allowed outside because Azriel didn't trust me even though I've been here for 7 months. I wonder what my parents think, do they think I ran away? Or do they think I've been kidnapped? I miss them, they were the best parents I could ever ask for. I had tears in my eyes but I refused to let them fall.

Just then the door opened and in walked Azriel with two maids. "Start packing his stuff," she said. The maids started taking the little clothes I had from my closet and my bathroom items and started putting them in one large suitcase. "What's h-happening?" I asked looking toward Azriel. "Caius is taking you," her face was void of emotion.

"What, why?!" I raised my voice a bit. I was scared but also angry.

"Don't you dare raise your voice toward me, I agreed to give him to you, for power in return." I stared at her with wide eyes. Power? She's selling me for power. I never felt so powerless than right now. I was nothing but and object being tossed around to other people and having absolutely no opinion in it. I looked down to the floor, blinking the tears away, as the maids finished packing my things. I didn't want to see him again, my stomach was tied in knots. The maids finished packing my stuff and handed me the suitcase. "Okay, I understand," I followed her down the stairs and to the front door, we stayed silent. I knew I couldn't fight them. I was weak. We got to the front door and Caius stood there giving me a smirk. I felt chills go through my body. "Lets go Cole," I followed behind him and we walked out.

The cold air hit my face. It was night time and the ball had ended. I took a deep breath of the fresh air. It felt amazing to finally be outside again. I walked down the stairs following Caius. There was a black limousine and the fear came back. I looked back at Azriel to see her closing the door. Her face still blank. I turned back around and the limousine driver opened the door for us. Caius sat down and I sat down in front of him. I'm alone with him now, I sat quietly staring at my hand on my lap. I could feel him staring me down. What's he going to do to me.
