2 Meeting the vampire king

"Move it human, we don't have all day, would you quit being so slow." For a vampire he sure is so whiny, I roll my eyes at him and pick up my pace.

He shows me the servants quarters but doesn't help me carry my new clothes, what a jerk but what do you expect from someone who kidnapped an innocent girl lost in the forest? Ok so maybe not so innocent but this is the twenty first century, this whole vampire kidnapping thing is so last century. I sigh at that and open the door to my new hell.

When I walk into the room the first thing I notice is the smallest bed in the history of beds, I don't know what I expected but come on, our lives are already a living hell, the least you can do is give us a bigger bed.

"So you are the new girl?" A brunette sitting on one of the beds snaps me out of my trance.

"I guess you will be my roommate my name is Julliet but you can call me Jules."I say with a small smile trying to be polite.

"Listen here if you want us to live in peace you keep out of my business and I will do the same, got it? Or are you also retarded?" she sneeres while walking out of the room.

Ok, well that I defintely didn't expect. I sit down on what I presume is my bed and let out a sigh of defeat, finally I'm alone and can let out all the tears I have been holding in, I will never see my aunt again, my life will never be normal again and vampires exist.

That night I cry myself to sleep, I don't even here my roommate coming in.

"Brrrrr." An ugly sound wakes me up in like the middle of the night. "Wake up you lazy bitch it's five in the morning, time to get up." My roommate whose name I still don't know shakes me as she pulls the blanket. She's oddly considerate for someone who called me retarded a few hours ago.

"Urrrgh it feels like I have slept for five minutes it can't be morning already." I groan as I stretch my muscles and land my feet next to my bed. I look at the time and my eyes widen, I have thirty minutes before the king's breakfast. I quickly put on the maids uniform and run to the kitchen. Good thing the vampire dude gave me a tour of all the places I'm needed or I would be so screwed right now. With five minutes to spare before the king's breakfast, I quickly eat my breakfast and place the king's on a tray before running to the dining room. Apparently he takes breakfast by himself even when there are visitors. Like who does he think he is, first he kidnaps a clueless girl and then he turns out to be an egocentric loner, he's definetly the devil, worse than Adolf Hitler.

I knock once before entering and walk towards the table with my eyes on the floor until I come into contact with a wall and spill all the animal blood."Christ Woman watch where you are going!"a very deep sexy voice yells at me, ok so not a wall. I'm about to yell back when I look up to the most beautiful pair of green eyes. Oh God, he has this sharp defined jawline, dark sleek hair that's long and reaches his eyes. Hallelujah! I think I just died and went to heaven. He has to be the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. But of course his big mouth just had to ruin it.

"Are you done ogling me?" he snaps me out of my trance with his deep sexy voice. "Get back to work." Someone pissed in his cereal this morning because with the way he's clenching his jaw it's better if I just slowly retreat.

"Yes yes." I stammer while trying to get out of the room, but with my luck I bump into a real wall this time and fall flat on my ass, oh God can I be more embarrassing? I quickly gather myself and sucessfully run out of the room.

"So how was it?" A young girl about my age asks me as I close the door behind me. "How was what?" I ask her breathlessly, walking back to the kitchen. "You know your encounter with the king, I know your dripping just at seeing his face." With the gooey eyes thing she's has going on I'm guessing someone has a crush on the gorilla butt face king, 'lying is a sin, Julliet.' My sub conscience decides to pipe up. I let out a laugh as I mockingly shake my head, "yeah right, gorilla butt face over there couldn't even win the most beautiful man even if he was the only man in the universe." I look at the girl and her eyes are wide open and she's pale like she's just seen a ghost, "what?" I ask her becoming a little worried, she opens her mouth but no sound comes out and finally decides to point behind me, I close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose knowing what's about to go down.

"Gorilla butt face, hmmm, that's a new one, real creative" the deep sexy voice says mockingly. Oh God I think I have just forgotten how to breathe, I know my face is as red as a beetroot. "Excuse me my highness, oh I'm sorry, your highness." the poor girl scurries away leaving me alone with the devil. That little traitor, I'll make sure to get her, clearly she never heard in unity there's strength, now I really don't stand a chance, someone better start buying a casket.

"So?" He asks again, when I finally turn around he has an amused look, oh thank the Lord, the king has a sense of humour. Hallelujah! False alarm guys, no need for a casket just yet, but with the way things are going I'm giving it a week and it's bye bye Julliet, it was nice knowing you.

I shake my head and open my mouth, I try to find words but nothing comes out. "Just get back to work and stop gossiping about your king, it's punishable by death but I'm feeling particularly merciful today so I''ll leave you with a warning." I recieve a wink from the handsome devil before he walks away leaving me mesmerized. Oh God, I change my mind, just kill me.

So that day I find out that the girl's name is Mary and she is twenty one years old. She gives me all the gossip on how the king never talks with maids and that he is a grumpy person, no surprise there, who runs the vampire kingdom of Valeria, he is a womanizer apparently and never stays with one girl for a whole day but even then, women still find themselves flocking to his bed despite knowing they won't be there for more than a few hours, not judging or anything.

So this time as I take his dinner, I am well informed ergo, I try to not so much as breathe in his direction lest I disturb the dust around him and get my hands cut off.

As I place his dinner on the table he grabs my wrist and looks at the tattoo I got as a reminder of my parents."What is this?"he asks with an annoyed look ,man does he love getting annoyed."A tattoo." I answer in a duh tone, that kind of slips out but I mean seriously, it's right in your face and I'm sure your vision is exemplary, so why make me waste my breathe answering silly questions. "I meant why do you have it? My maids are supposed to be pure and not in any way blemished" He sounds frustrated, maybe at my condenscending tone, I better tone it down, he is the king after all. "It's a reminder of my dead parents." I tuck my hair behind my ear which I always do when I'm nervous."You should not have it, I want it removed by tomorrow." What?! Is he actually serious?! As I was about to protest, he dismisses me. I run out of the room crying. Why me? It surely was going to be a long year but I won't stand here helplessly, I have had enough with this stupid vampires, I have two legs and two hands I could get away and run away from this hell hole. It's time they realise just who they kidnapped.
