This is my first fic here so still trying to figure it out...hope you enjoy!
“So you were the one who found him then…” sighing he caught her movement, a slight shift of weight from foot to foot, long ebony black hair and pale skin that glimmering in the candlelight. “Interesting I saw the manor…and it looked as if werewolves had done it…” he hated the tone this, Artemis, person was using on her, it was almost intrigued yet held a hint of an accusation. Watching her he finally sat up but neither person noticed they were too engrossed in their conversation.
“Arte, werewolves did do it, the house was in ruins and also…” she paused and turned around, normally this was when he would wake up, praying it wasn’t a dream he snapped his eyes shut and flinched as a hand ran down the scars that marred his cheeks. “You are awake.” Cracking open an eye and staring directly into beautiful golden orbs he felt his breath taken away, “good evening did you sleep well?” looking away from the beauty he didn’t want to say anything for fear of breaking the spell.
“Can he talk?” the blonde, Artemis, asked dryly, watching as she glared over her shoulder at him before returning her gaze to him, her eyes softening once more, she reached a hand up and he instantly flinched expecting the sting of a slap for not answering a master but it never came, creaking open an eye he saw a deep sadness haunting her eyes as she slowly lowered her hand.
“I see…” she said softly bowing her head and sighing, he caught the glare from Artemis but tried to pretend he didn’t, “make yourself comfortable this is your room if you need anything at all.” She straightened and motioned towards the door opposite from his bed “that is my room, if I am not in there then go to the library I’ll have someone come up soon with some food for you.” With that said she left the room Artemis trailing close behind her, he could hear their voices in the hall expecting to hear her rage his heart stopped as he heard sorrow. “Don’t fault him Artemis…how would you be if you were a sex slave to a vampire with disgusting tastes and beat you every chance he got!” his eyes widened at the hidden rage in her voice, she was angry at Xyan but not him…
“Selene…” Artemis’s voice trailed off as they moved further down the hall before disappearing altogether, sighing heavily and laying back he stared up at the ceiling, was this really just a dream…or was he actually free? Rolling over on his side he took the time to look around the room, it was a lot bigger than his cell was and even warmer too! Laying his cheek on his arms and staring at the dark purple wallpaper he felt his eyelids growing heavy, yawning and blinking slowly she finally allowed his eyes to slip closed not intending on falling asleep.
“Sorry.” He murmured softly, the teen shook his head and set the tray on the bed, “I’m…I just…” he tried to offer an explanation but any of the ones he could think of were lies or sounded real lame.
“Hey don’t worry about it, Selene told me about how Xyan was a jerk to you…all she said was to make you feel welcome so I did…at least I hope so…I didn’t know if you had any likes or dislikes and with a house full of Vampires you can’t really be expected to cook that much.” Snapping his head up he saw the boy smiling and waving a hand to the food, “oh yeah I’m a human my parents abandoned me on her doorstep about…” he paused counting on his fingers “hm about three or four hundred years ago…she’s kept me safe and even had me go to school, she likes taking care of us. I’m Rayne” A smile lit up the teen’s countenance as he sat down on the bed and moved the tray closer to him, looking down at the food he felt his stomach growling with hunger but couldn’t bring himself to eat… “So what’s your name?” Rayne asked leaning his head forward and smiling, it was easy to smile around the boy his blonde hair was in disarray like he hadn’t looked in a mirror for a long time.
“My name’s…” he paused, it had been so long since anybody had said it was it even his name or the name his master picked out… “My names…Vincent…” Nodding Rayne gently eased himself off the bed and walked towards the door.
“Okay Vincent, if you want to eat and come outside I’ll be out there Selene wants something done but I can’t tell what it is…” a slight frown tugged at Rayne’s full lips “she’s being vague again.” He stated before shrugging and smiling again before heading out the door, looking back down at the food he heard his stomach growl again, sighing he picked up the tray and placed it on his lap.
“Well here goes nothing.” He said softly grabbing the fork and digging it, his eyes widened at the exquisite taste this really wasn’t a dream! Polishing off the last bit of bread he heard something in the back of his mind…swallowing and closing his eyes he focused on the thought and heard Selene’s voice ringing clearly in his ears as if she were standing before him!
“This must be done Rayne, I can not afford to lose another human…please take care of him, Artemis already doesn’t like him and I know the others will have something to say about another one of my charity cases.” The disgust was eminent in her voice but before she went on he felt something like a door being slammed in his face before became aware of a hand gripping his arm.
