Continuation of Dante's POV:
I went to a small couch and sat on it, looking towards Stefan expectantly. I purred and patted my lap a little and gave him a playful look and exposed my fangs. He sat down in my lap and Tiger jumped up onto the couch and laid down next to us with a small purr. Stefan gave me a sweet look before glancing over at a male and female sitting across from us. My guests. I could smell they were purebloods. They've been waiting for us patiently in my morning room. More than likely Frederick had already made sure to feed them before sending them here. I looked them over then purred as I rested one of my hands-on Stefan's lower back.
"I hear that your travelers, right?" I hummed out and smirked before I kissed Stefan's cheek. "You heard about me in town and decided to pay me a visit?"
"Yes, we came from far away," the male told me. "My name is Oz and this is my sister Zehara." He looked towards her then and gave her a smile. "We have traveled a vast mass of ocean... My sister was the one that done the most work. She can alter water- play with it." He told me. "She's gifted. We've been in Europe for a few years now. It's impressive... it's more advanced than where we're from. We have huge bugs," he told me and held out his hands to show me an impossible size for a bug to be. "You should come visit. We plan to go home in a few years." He stood up and held out a hand to shake mine. "This is how you greet, correct?" I looked at his hand then shook it.
"Yes, that's correct," I purred out then pulled my hand away from him. "I'm prince Dante of Germany. This is Stefan- my personal and favorite donor."
"Hello," he purred out as he eyed over Stefan. "Your humans are so calm and tame... Ours are more wild and free," he said as he sat back down next to his sister. "It must've taken generations to get them so tame."
"I wouldn't call them tame," I told him and smirked. "It's true that their families have been here for generations, but I didn't tame them. I hired them and ate the disloyal ones that would try to kill me. They're just loyal to their master and obedient. They still have their independent lives and families that they create on their own. If they serve me and don't betray me, they're allowed to live as they please." I rubbed Stefan's back then and purred lightly. "Do you not have servants where you come from?"
"No... We like to hunt," his sister told me in amusement. "We don't keep pets... If we did the werewolves would be upset. There are more werewolves where we're from than here... They come in huge packs... We're almost outnumbered. So, there is a treaty... If we don't keep them as pets we can still hunt them... Otherwise they'll all gang up on us and eat us alive. We've noticed that here werewolves are the ones outnumbered... there are few and more rogues." She gave me an amused look. "We heard about an attack though from a powerful pack and heard of a rumor that you were involved."
"Yes..." I said and shook my head in distaste. They have more dogs there? Gross. "I saw the aftermath of it. The Austrian family was wiped out. I haven't heard who has taken that throne yet. I'm sure that someone will." Oz nodded and gave a smile.
"Where we're from we are the leaders of our small community of vampires. Humans from Europe are starting to travel to our continent... I expect vampires will want to conquer land... There is enough there~ Too much for me to rein over with my sister." He placed his arm on the back of the couch and behind his sister. "If vampires come to our land, maybe the number of wolves will decrease... Especially when humans start to hunt them down."
"When that happens, I'll consider going over," I told him and eyed the two of them over. "I have no interest in seeing werewolves. They're disgusting beasts that could kill me in one bite." I kissed Stefan's cheek then before I wrapped my arms around him. "Would you all like some tea?"
"Yes~ I like this tea you have... I told my brother the other day that we would have to stay long enough to gather everything we love from here to take there." She gave me an amused look.
"Well it's a good thing I thought to bring some!" Frederick said with a happy tone as he came in with a tray of tea. "I hope everything is fine~" He sat the tea down on the coffee table between us and gave each of us a cup of tea and then gave Tiger a bowl of milk. "No tea for you, Tiger."
"I would hope Tiger wouldn't get tea," I muttered and sipped on my tea before I looked towards Frederick. "How are things in the castle today, Frederick? Give me a report." I started to gently rub Stefan's spine as I held him then kissed his temple lightly.
"Hmm..." He stood up and thought it over. "Things are doing fine. Your loyal newborns are eager, I told them that you would be picked a hand full of them to go out today with on a journey. They were disappointed when I told them you wouldn't be training with them today. So, I treated them all by having a maid play a violin for them. They're amused and happy. The servants are stirring with rumors about your new favorite. I'm having Stefan's room be moved completely today and there are going to be adjustments made for Tiger's wellbeing. I'm having steps made so he can be free to go out the window. It's tacky looking but it's for a good cause. The garden is growing lovely and is being trimmed... Let's see.... Oh, Raven is looking forward to seeing you soon. She asked me to give you something~" He pulled out something from his pocket before he walked up to me and held his hand open to thin air and gave my cheek a kiss. "She also wants me to bite you... but I don't have fangs so~" He chuckled and pulled back. "Your bedroom is being made up as you asked." He walked away from me then and smiled. "Andreas~! You can come in." Andreas walked in with a huge smile on his face before he waved and bounced up to me.
"Master Dante~ I heard you were hungry and volunteered to feed you," he said sweetly and knelt in front of me and looked up at me. "May I?" I smirked as I watched him then reached out and ran my fingers through his dark black hair before I nodded.
"You may," I told him then exposed my fangs. He shivered a little at the sight of them before he looked at Stefan.
"You're in my seat," he said, the smile dropping from his face as he met Stefan's eyes.
"Your seat?" Stefan asked and frowned. "No, I'm not. This is my seat. I get to sit here~ You're going to have to lean over me." He laid his back up against my chest. Tiger hissed at Andreas. I laughed a little and rubbed Stefan's shoulder before I looked Andreas over.
"I'm waiting," I purred out and smirked as I watched Andreas glare at Stefan. He slowly got to his feet before he looked Stefan over then looked at me before he undid his tie slowly and dropped it in Stefan's hands and began to unbutton his collar. Stefan eyed Andreas over before he laid his head back against my shoulder as he watched him. Andreas gave a small smirk before he tugged his collar to the side then leaned over, getting close to Stefan before he slipped into both of our laps and wrapped his arms around my neck, playing with my hair. I laughed and leaned in, smelling his neck before I smirked. He's trying to mess with Stefan. How cute~ I bit in and purred as I heard him moan at it, a shiver going through him as he tugged lightly on my hair, almost nudging Stefan out of the way. Stefan groaned and eyed him over, giving a slight glare as he tried to stay in the way.
"Andreas, who said you could be in my lap?" He asked. "Get off, you're fat."
"And you're a stick," Andreas countered. "I'm not fat. Besides~ you're in our master's lap~"
"He's letting me," Stefan mumbled. I could hear Frederick chuckle.
"What? You just don't want me to feed him, jealous pig," Andreas muttered. I bit down deeper into him for the comment, but he only gasped then moaned. Damn, he's trained well to like my bites.
"T-that's not true!" Stefan told him and blushed. "I don't care if you feed him, but this is my spot," he grumbled.
"Jeaalous~" Andreas sung out and laughed before he kissed my cheek. I pulled my fangs out then purred.
"Andreas, don't talk to Stefan that way," I scolded lightly, looking at him. "Behave." I leaned back in and bit down into his shoulder this time, smirking as I heard him gasp and felt his grip on my hair tighten.
"Y-yes master," he moaned out then clung to me.
"I'm not jealous," I heard Stefan grumble. "You're jealous I'm in his lap."
"His fangs are in my neck though~" Andreas said then laughed happily. Stefan grumbled low enough to where I couldn't hear what he said. He slipped out from between us and got beside me, picking up Tiger and the bowl of milk before he placed them in his lap and rubbed Tiger on the head. I felt Andreas laugh a little as he closed the space between us and nuzzled his face against me. After a few minutes, I took my fangs out then patted his cheek.
"Go eat something sweet," I told him calmly then pushed him out of my lap. He almost whined as he had to get up then looked at me longingly.
"Yes master," he mumbled then looked towards Frederick before he bounced over to him and grabbed Frederick's hands. "Can I get three cookies?" He asked sweetly. I smirked as I watched them then looked over at Stefan, leaning over as I licked my lips clean then kissed his neck. Stefan tensed up at the kiss quickly.
"Yes, go tell the chief I gave you permission for three cookies... Then get back to your daily chores." Andreas nodded then quickly left the room with an excited look. I smirked then moved my hand up to Stefan's cheek, cupping it before I slowly made him turn his head to face me as I trailed kisses up his neck and towards his lips. Stefan blushed and leaned in towards my lips to give me a kiss.
"Don't forget today's agenda," Frederick reminded me. I paused and glanced his way before I looked back towards Stefan's lips and kissed him before I deepened it. Is he trying to tell me not to take Stefan somewhere private? I bet he is. I held back a laugh at the thought and rubbed Stefan's cheek. Stefan pulled back from the kiss and leaned in, smelling me and gave a small moan. I smirked as I heard him then leaned in towards his ear.
"Want to sneak into my room tonight again?" I whispered low enough for only him to hear as I moved my hand to his shoulder and brought him closer. He nodded quickly and smiled towards me. Tiger looked up at us and meowed. I gave Stefan another small kiss as a reward and purred before I leaned back towards his ear. "Dress comfortably," I murmured in it then nipped it. "You'll spend the night with me again, won't you?" He gave it a thoughtful look before nodding. "Do you want anything waiting for you in my room? Perhaps a certain type of sheet? Maybe wine?" I whispered and ran my hand down to the side of his waist.
"No," he whispered and shook his head. "I just want us."
"Are you sure? I can have my room made up a little more for us," I husked out then kissed right under his ear. "I could have scented candles placed in my room... maybe rose?" He eyed me over before blushing.
"Roses?" He asked softly. Tiger let out a loud purr and sat up between us and licked both of us.
"I'll decorate my room in them," I promised him then smirked against his neck. "Want rose petals on the bed with us?" Stefan nodded quickly and rubbed Tiger's head as he sat the bowl of milk to the side. "Rose candles, rose flowers and petals... anything else? No snacks?" He shook his head quickly.
"I don't want any snacks," he told me.
"Want the fireplace lit?" I murmured then gave his neck another kiss. I'll have to tell Frederick to attend to these preparations while I'm gone today to have it ready by the time I get home. "Want me in anything... special for you?"
"Why are you asking me these things?" He asked and blushed. "Just be normal, master."
"I thought perhaps you had fantasies," I murmured and chuckled against his neck. "I want to know what you like and don't like and how to make it better for you."
"You're all I need in a master," he whispered and smiled. "Be yourself."
"I never said I wouldn't be myself," I teased him lightly then started to suck on his earlobe. He nodded and pulled his ear away from me. Tiger reached up and swatted at my face before he gave a purr. I looked him over then smirked before I rubbed his head. "What?" I asked him then laughed. "Troublemaker." He purred and leaned his head into my hand before he looked towards Stefan and rubbed his head against his chest and purred louder. I watched him then pulled Tiger out of his lap and held him, starting to pet him before I looked towards Oz and Zehara. "Will you accompany me today to the markets? I have to search for two creatures to purchase."
"We'd love to," Zehara told me as she eyed over Tiger curiously.
"Wonderful. We'll head out soon," I told them before I kissed the top of Tiger's head. Tiger purred and pawed at my chest before he looked towards Stefan. I smirked at Tiger then rubbed under his chin. "You're a cute little troublemaker though," I hummed out to him. He tilted his head and held it up for me, giving a louder purr as his whole body rumbled. Stefan gave a jealous look and reached for Tiger. I looked at Stefan then frowned. "What? I can't pet him?"
"I want to pet him," he whined out.
"Then we'll both pet him," I told him then smirked. "Get back in my lap and we'll give him lots of love." He nodded and crawled into my lap and placed him in his lap before he rubbed Tiger's back. I chuckled and started to rub behind Tiger's ears and kissed Stefan's cheek. "My sweet Stefan," I whispered then looked towards Oz and Zehara. "So where are you headed after Germany? Perhaps I could send you to another prince for you to meet. Would you like that? Have you been to England yet? A prince named Laurence lives there."
"Are you suggesting we visit England next?" Oz asked and smiled. "It doesn't sound like a bad idea. I've heard it's a very- incredible island."
"They have lots of tea there," I told them then purred. "Plus, Laurence can see the future and knows everything... or you could head further East and go to Russia where a very good friend of mine lives. His name is Victor, but he has a thing for drinking and torturing his enemies. I wouldn't call him insane, but he's different."
"We'll travel to England first and then head east," Oz decided.
"If you go South, there's a woman by the name of Val," I told them and sipped on my tea. "You should meet her as well. She's rather interesting... and her companion is Alexander the Great- the man who's never lost a battle in his life." Oz nodded and gave a thoughtful look.
"Yes.... I'll have to see them as well." I watched them before I looked towards Frederick.
"Pick my newborns that can teleport. I don't feel like a carriage ride today, and it's too long of a journey to get to the markets I want to investigate," I instructed then paused before I moved Stefan out of my lap and walked over to Frederick. "I need to speak with you about something in private as well." I grabbed his arm and walked us out of the room before I shut the door and looked at him. "I want a few bouquet of roses placed in my room along with a few rose scented candles and some rose petals placed on my bed. I'm going to have Stefan join me later tonight," I informed him then purred. "He's already agreed to meet me in my bedroom."
"Yes sir," Frederick hummed out. "I'll pick a handful of newborns and get your room set up for you. Anything else?" I thought it over then nodded.
"One more thing... have vines planted under Tiger's stairs and have them grow up the side to take care of some of the tackiness," I told him then smirked. "You're a very good butler. I couldn't ask for anyone better. Use your free time to do what you think is best for the castle and then don't forget to ask for her hand in marriage.... You may have some tea set up for you and her and use any room you wish to ask her in."
"Thank you," he said as he gave me a smile. "I appreciate your generosity." He smirked and started off down the hall. I watched him then went back in before I smirked and walked over to Oz and Zehara and leaned over the back of the couch, looking down at Oz.
"We'll be off soon~"
"Excellent! I can't wait to see this market you speak of," he told me and patted my arm.
"They sell creatures that they catch to rich people like me," I told him and laughed. "You can find all sorts of supernatural there. They sell humans too, but that's not why we're going. It's also a decent place to trade secrets and information. I've been meaning to go at some point to hear the latest news." I moved away then went over to Stefan before I leaned over and kissed him deeply as I slowly sat beside him. "You'll need to stick close to me, Stefan," I husked out against his lips then kissed him again. He nodded against my lips.
"I'll hold onto your hand," he told me. "Tiger, you'll have to stay home," he told him and rubbed his head. "I'll miss you on my adventure away from the castle." Tiger purred and looked up at Stefan, giving him a loving look. I glanced down at Tiger and frowned. Is it just me... or does he seem to understand more than a cat should? I watched Tiger then scooped him up quickly, staring him in the eyes. This couldn't be a... no... those are so rare. It would be strange if one just happened to be in my castle. I gave him a suspicious look as I eyed him over then looked back into his eyes. He stared at me blankly and twitched his ear before squirming to get out of my arms. I held him down then before I tsked.
"Tiger," I muttered. "Where are you going?" He twitched the tip of his tail as he looked mad- his ears falling back as he glared me down. "Are you just a simple kitty?" I asked him, keeping my cool as I loosened up a bit but kept him. "Or are you secretly hiding?" He twitched his ears before letting out a slight hiss. I watched him then frowned. "You certainly are responsive," I muttered then sat him down on the floor before I sat his bowl of milk down in front of him. "Here, drink your milk. If you're a werecat, I'm not going to kick you out for it." He looked towards the bowl before he jumped back up into Stefan's lap and laid down in it. I watched him then frowned. That better not be a werecat.... If it is, he's after my Stefan. I crossed my arms then looked away from them before I clenched my jaw. That better be a normal cat. He looked towards me and hissed again. I looked down at him sharply then. "What?" He hissed once more before turning away from me and rubbed his head against Stefan's stomach. I growled lightly and glared the cat down before I got to my feet. Screw that. I'm not sticking around for that. I walked towards the door and slammed it shut behind me before I felt my fangs sharpen as I walked down the hall. I'll go spend time with Raven while I wait.
"Dante!" I heard Stefan yell. "COME BACK!" He whined out. I paused and took a shaky breath before I looked back at the door then sighed. It's not Stefan's fault... and if it is a normal cat, I'm overreacting. Besides, Stefan wouldn't sleep with a werecat when he has me.... I ran a hand through my hair and took a deep breath before I went back in and shut the door quietly behind me, going back to Stefan. "Are you okay?" He asked me softly and rubbed Tiger's head. I looked at him then down at Tiger before I sighed and gave a small nod.
"Don't worry about it," I muttered before I reached out and rubbed Tiger between his shoulder blades. Odds are, it's a normal cat. Tiger purred and looked towards me before turning back to face me and licked my hand. I watched him then rubbed under his chin. "He's just a normal cat...."
"Well of course he is~ but he's also much more. He's my kitty," Stefan told me. "He's very intelligent."
"I see that," I muttered. "Though werecats exist..."
"Tiger isn't a werecat," Stefan told me. "He's too small~" He rubbed Tiger's back and brought his hand down to the tip of his tail.
"That doesn't matter," I told him then frowned. "If he was a werecat... you'd still stay with me, right?" Stefan gave me a confused look.
"Why would I leave you?" He asked softly. Tiger looked up at him curiously.
"Well... he seems very... attached to you," I told him then looked down at Tiger.
"He's my cat," Stefan told me firmly. I watched Stefan then gave a nod.
"If you say so," I told him then gave him a small kiss. He kissed me back before he pulled away as he heard a giggle. He looked towards one of my newborns that teleported into the room. I tensed then looked at my newborn then purred as I looked her over.
"Hello~ Frederick sent you, didn't he?" I asked her then smirked, exposing my fangs. "Are you ready for an adventure?"
"Yes," she told me and nodded. A few more of my newborns teleported into the room.
"You all better behave and not get me in trouble," I told them then stood up before I helped Stefan to his feet. "Oz, Zehara, let's go~" I purred and walked towards them. "Listen up, I'm going to tell you exactly what it'll look like when we get there, so you know what to teleport to, okay?" Stefan sat Tiger down and rubbed his head.
"I'll be back later," he promised Tiger before grabbing my hand and gave it a squeeze. Oz and Zehara stood up quickly. I looked at them before I looked towards my newborns and quickly debriefed them on what it would look like. I nodded to them to grab Oz and Zehara before I teleported Stefan there and looked around. Shops lined the cobblestone street that lead up to a large, magnificent white building. The air was lit with torches, making the cavern brighter as we stood with our backs to a large door that lead out of the inside of the mountain and to the outside world. It was truly an underground market. It's literal here. I looked around as I saw men trying to sell rare gems and valuables to men of all kind- rich, middle class, vampire, privileged humans, etc. I held Stefan close to me as I waited for my newborns and looked towards the large building that we'd have to walk to and frowned. That's where I'll find the species auction. Out here is just for show, but inside... inside is the real part. Stefan let out a small gasp as he glanced around in awe. He looked back at the newborns as they walked up to me with Oz and Zehara. Stefan moved closer to me and gave my hand a squeeze. I looked at him and purred before I kissed his cheek.
"You're safe as long as you're with me," I promised him. "They're not going to pry you out of my grip and sell you off as a blood slave." He nodded and stepped closer to me anyways. I could hear his heart racing as he looked around at his new surroundings. "You're so cute," I murmured and kissed his neck. "My sweet little Steffy~" He gave me a sweet smile.
"I'm just being me," he said innocently.
"I know," I murmured then kissed his temple. "You're still cute though. I love it." He blushed and eyed my lips over before he kissed me quickly. I kissed him back and felt a moan slip from me before I pulled back and let my breath hit his lips. "Come on. Let's go pick out a companion for Raven to cuddle with to keep her warm as she sleeps." He nodded and eyed over our surroundings curiously.
"Master..." He trailed off. "Don't let my hand go."
"I won't," I promised him and gave it a squeeze. "Don't worry so bad about it. It'll be okay~ Besides, we have a date tonight," I whispered in his ear and smirked. He nodded and gave me a smile.
"I don't want to be separated," he explained.
"Not even when we get home?" I asked and started to purr loudly. I might just take him straight to my room then.
"I can't get lost there," he laughed out softly.
"Yeah but we could go straight to my room once we get home~" I hummed out and smirked at him.
"Straight there?" He asked curiously.
"We could~" I told him and kissed his neck. "We could have lots of fun and then eventually take it to my bed." He nodded and smiled towards me.
"I want to sleep with Tiger tonight," he told me. "He probably misses me." I frowned then. What? Really? Damn cat.
"F-fine," I muttered. I'll have to tell Frederick never mind on a lot of those things then....
"Can he sleep with us?" Stefan asked and moved closer to me.
"But... I thought you wanted it to just be us," I murmured. "He'd watch us." He frowned before nodding.
"F-fine," he whispered and looked disappointed. I watched him then gave his hand a squeeze. He wouldn't be into sleeping with me again tonight without his precious kitty in the room.
"We'll put him in the bathroom," I suggested and rubbed my chin. "I'll let him out afterwards." He nodded and gave a small smile. "But he stays in there until after we've had our fun," I warned him. "I don't like the idea of a cat watching us." He laughed before nodding.
"Yes sir," he told me and gave my hand a squeeze. I purred then kissed his lips before I started to lead us towards the building.
"Help me pick out little Raven a pet," I told him and smirked as I eyed the building over. "It has to be female. I'm not letting a male in her bed."
"Yes sir," he eyed over the building curiously. "I'll only look at girl pets for her."
"Good, I want it to be special too. Something that will be able to fend for itself from her bites if she tries to bite it too much, but it can't be a werewolf." He nodded and started to swing our hands. I laughed at the feeling and shook my head. He's such a love bug.
~~~
I looked around as I toured the halls, looking into the cages and tsked. At least they have this- where I can come in and buy these or wait to bid on the rarer ones. Where are the interesting ones that are simply for sale? Sticking around to bid could get expensive. Stefan grabbed my arm with his other hand as we went down a isle of werewolves caged. He eyed them over as some of them were sleeping in their wolf forms. I shook my head and sped up. I don't want these mangy mutts. "Come on, let's find another set of cages." He nodded as he kept by me and pulled me onto another isle full of different werebeings. I looked them over and walked a little slower, studying them as I peered at the tags on the cages for information.
"Need help?" I heard a man ask me as he walked up and gave a huge smile. I paused then glanced towards him before I nodded.
"Yes, I'm looking to buy a pet for a little girl who likes to bite," I said then purred. "It has to be female, and it can't be a filthy dog. She needs something that can keep her warm but won't freak out if it gets bit by her but will be strong enough to defend itself if necessary."
"Do you want the pet to be her age?" He asked curiously.
"Hmm... that would be a good idea," I told him. "She's about six." He nodded and gave it a thoughtful look.
"Right this way," he said quickly. "Follow me. We have a younger selection just a few isles over." I nodded and followed him, keeping Stefan close by my side and glanced back to check on Oz and Zehara. Oz and Zehara were caught up looking at one of the weres and discussing something low to each other and she gave a small giggle at one of his comments. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her after me. I raised an eyebrow then looked back ahead of me before I kissed Stefan's head and stopped when the man stopped. I glanced around at the younger species then purred. This seems a little better. Stefan gave a gasp and ran up to a tiger laying in a cage and gasped.
"Kitty!" He yelled out and laughed as he looked the little cub over. I watched him then chuckled. He certainly has a thing for cats. I walked up behind him then looked towards the tag on the cage, checking its gender. Unfortunately, the tiger was a male. He looked up at us and yawned before he eyed over Stefan and showed his teeth quickly. I frowned then rubbed Stefan's head.
"He's male," I murmured into his ear then watched the cat. "Sorry Stefan." Stefan whined and eyed the tiger over before frowning.
"I-" He huffed and rubbed his eyes before he frowned. "Sorry.... You're male," he mumbled. I watched the cat then glanced back at the tag on the cage. I can't give a male to Raven... but I can at least let Stefan pet him.
"May we touch him?" I asked the man and looked towards him. He eyed over the cage before nodding and took out a key before he unlocked the cage.
"The young ones are allowed to be taken out and touched... but the older ones are more of a hand full, so we don't allow it." I nodded then reached in slowly, pulling out the small cub and started to rub behind his ears. He eyed me over before he bit down into my hand and started to gnaw on it like he was teething. I widened my eyes then tried to get my hand back from him.
"Hey~" I muttered. He let my hand go and went for my shirt quickly and started to chew it up. "Hey! That's my shirt!" I quickly passed the cub over to Stefan. Stefan squealed in delight and fell to his knees as he hugged the tiger and started to rub his back. The tiger let out a playful growl. I watched them then purred. He's kind of cute with a little tiger cub in his arms. I knelt in front of them and started to rub the tiger again. Stefan looked at me and laughed.
"Tiger would get jealous if I got a tiger~" He said in a teasing tone. I smirked then. Heh, it would... wouldn't it?
"I think he would," I hummed out then looked the tiger over. "Too bad he's male," I muttered then looked up at him. He does look cute with it though, and he seems really delighted to hold it.... Maybe if I got it for him as a gift.... It can't be that expensive. He gave me a cute smile as he rubbed the tiger's head. "Would you take good care of him?" I asked him then looked the tiger over. "He'd be like your adopted child." He nodded quickly.
"I take good care of Tiger!" He rubbed the tiger's head and eyed him over.
"Master," I heard one of the newborns grumbled. "You're here for the little girl," he reminded me. I tsked then. Damn, they're trying to keep me on task.
"You can't name it Tiger. You already have a Tiger," I told him.
"I'll name him Stripes," he said in a teasing tone. The tiger let out a small growl.
"I don't think he likes that," I whispered then glanced up at the man. "How much are you asking?"
"For the tiger?" He gave it a thoughtful look. "Seven hundred," he said calmly. Seven hundred? That's not that bad. I thought he'd ask for thousands. I raised an eyebrow then looked towards Stefan, taking the tiger back from him.
"We'll see Stefan," I purred to him then slipped the tiger back into its cage. Stefan eyed the tiger over before he nodded and grabbed my hand again before standing up. The guy locked the cage before turning to me.
"Let me interest you in a rare find," he suggested and smirked. "We've decided not to put her in the auction since she's young and rare, so we priced her high and we're not selling her unless there's a good name behind the buyer." He brought us over to a cage near the weretiger. Inside was another werecat but it was a strange type of cat I've never seen before. Short legged and long- with a beautiful spotted brown and black coat. She was curled up to a pink blanket in the corner of her cage and was currently taking a nap. "This is a girl. She's a werecat. In technical terms she's a clouded leopard." He unlocked the cage and reached in before he pulled her out with her blanket and handed her over to me in it. She looked up at me sleepily and yawned. "She's actually teething like the weretiger," he warned me. "Most of them are on this isle." She glanced around before she bit down into her blanket and started to chew on it as she woke up more. I laughed as I watched her then purred at her. Oh, my devils, this little girl is so cute! I held her close and kissed the top of her head.
"Aren't you a little cutie~?" I asked and purred as I nuzzled my head against the top of hers. "Raven would love you~!" She looked up at me and pawed at my face quickly. Stefan looked her over in awe and gasped. I watched her then rubbed her gently with the blanket so I wouldn't startle her too much and gave her another kiss on her head as I continued purring. I'd have to do my best not to steal this little baby out of Raven's arms. "What kind of name are you looking for?" I asked lowly and looked towards the man.
"Someone of high status, a noble," he told me.
"Would a prince do?" I asked and smirked.
"You're a prince?" He asked me and eyed me over before looking towards my newborns and my two guests.
"Yes, I'm prince Dante of Germany," I told him and exposed my fangs. "I'm descended directly from the old kings and queens of long ago, and I'm probably much older than you." He widened his eyes and bowed his head respectfully.
"It's an honor then," he told me. "Such an honor we would be more than happy to sell her to you." I nodded then and rubbed the little kitty with the blanket some more.
"Excellent.... Oh, and one more thing. I have a friend who needs a companion. He's about my age. I'm slightly older," I hummed out. So, a clouded leopard cub, a tiger cub, and... something special for Victor. It'd be nice to get him something. He nodded and gave a thoughtful look before he started off down the isle.
"Let me take a look," he said. The cub in my arms moved around slightly and switched her long tail against me. I laughed then looked back at the tiger before I looked at Stefan.
"I'll get you the cub," I promised him and winked. He gave me a huge smile.
"Tiger gets a friend?" He asked and laughed softly. I felt the little cub in my arms shift around as she looked around and looked startled to be in my arms. I laughed as I watched her then nodded to Stefan.
"Yes, he does, but you better take excellent care of him. I don't want to find him in neglect," I told him sternly then rubbed her gently with the blanket to help her calm down as I held her more firmly against my chest. "I'll pay for these three, but that's it and then we go." I walked after the man and purred as I kissed Stefan's cheek as I passed him. "We can sleep with your new kitty and Tiger after we have our fun," I told him and smirked. Raven will be so delighted to have a companion to play with. I'll have to make sure she doesn't eat it though for the first few days. Maybe if I do a slow introduction between the two and teach her not to bite it.... This one is a little young and would probably attack her back or be fearful of her if Raven did try to hurt it. I'll keep this one put up for a few days and let Raven play with her during the day and then slowly give it to her to sleep with at night and let her have it completely after she proves she won't bite it often. She gave me a small purr as she caught on that I was safe to be in the arms of and rubbed her head against my chest. She looked around as the guy lead us down the aisle before he stopped at a cage.
"Here is a werefox," he suggested and pointed to a young red furred fox. "That's if you're interested in getting him a young pet." He rubbed his chin. "This is a boy, but he has a sister somewhere- probably on the isle over, if we still have her." I studied them before I rubbed the cub's head and frowned. He has a sister? Well... I could get a pair of pets for him. I wouldn't want to separate them.
"How friendly are the two of them?" I asked and walked up to the cage slowly. The male fox had a white tipped tail and black socked legs. He eyed me over as he chewed on a shirt and let it go then ran up the cage door and eyed me over curiously before he ran to the back of the cage and back up to the door and stuck his head through the bars and yipped at us before trying to pull his head back in but it was stuck. I smirked then helped him, pushing his head back into the cage then looked at the man. "Check for his sister. I'll still be here when you get back." He nodded and looked around on this isle before heading to one over. The fox quickly snatched my shoe off me as he tore it off my foot and gave a playful yip as he got it and looked amused. He had already gone after it while I was distracted from talking to the man. He walked to the back of the cage with a proud walk before he started to chew on it. "You little..." I growled out and eyed him over. "That was my shoe!" I knelt to his cage then and tapped the bars lightly. "Punk...." He dropped the shoe and came back to me before he snatched her blanket and ran off with it. She looked at him and flicked her tail before she growled towards him. He cackled and jumped in his cage in amusement. I tsked then reached in as much as I could and snatched it back, giving it to her as I wrapped her up in it and held her away from the cage. She licked my chest before sending him a glare. He watched us in amusement before he went back to my shoe and got the laces out of it and started to chew them up. I heard the man come back. "No, she's not here anymore. We sold her a few hours ago," he told me. I frowned.
"You did?" That's awful.... Well, he doesn't seem that concerned... snatching shoes and whatnot. "I'll go ahead and buy him for Victor...." He'll enjoy this little ball of thievery. The fox eyed me over and wagged his tail before he brought my shoe back without the lace and gave it to me. I looked my shoe over then sighed before I took my other one off and gave it to him. "Keep them." He eyed the shoes over and walked away without them and brushed his tail up against the bars before he growled playfully at one of his cage neighbors. "Rascal," I muttered then eyed over my shoelace before I went for it. He snatched it quickly before I could get it and tried to bury it but ended up growling at the metal. I smirked at him then pulled away from the cage. "I'm getting my shoelace back," I warned him then looked at the man. "Okay, one tiger cub, one leopard cub, and one fox to go please~" I purred out and picked up my shoes. "Let's go get the totals up and I'll pay it off."
"We can get the cages," one of my newborns told us as they started to get that done. Stefan eyed the fox over and laughed as he watched him.
"That's a crazy personality," he whispered. "He's bold."
"Very, he likes to take things that aren't his but won't take anything given to him. So, it's difficult to feed him. You have to trick him into wanting it." I nodded then smirked.
"My friend is up to the task. Trust me, he'll be able to handle it." Victor will make sure that the fox learns quickly. He laughed and nodded, stepping aside as my newborns got his cage to carry. The man brought me to a desk set out and he pulled out some paperwork. "Now, because you're a prince you have a discount here," he told me.
"Excellent~ Three were creatures have to be expensive," I muttered then rubbed the cub's head. "How much of a discount?" Half hopefully.
"Buy one cub and get one free," he told me. "The fox is fifty percent off as well. All in all, you're paying me a royal ten thousand. Not too bad I'd say~" I frowned. Wasn't the tiger cub seven hundred.... Is he making me pay for the more expensive kitten?
"Which kitten am I paying for again?" I asked and raised an eyebrow. He laughed and gave me a huge smile.
"The one you're holding." Little twerp....
"Uh huh... you know~ I think I did hear at the last meeting a talk about raiding these kinds of places," I sung out and smirked. He yelped.
"You don't think it's, here do you?" He asked me and frowned.
"This is the more well-known one," I hummed out then examined my nails. "After all... a big time prince like me knew the exact location~"
"I'm sorry did I say ten thousand? What I meant was a thousand," he said and laughed nervously.
"Oh? I must've heard you wrong," I purred out and smirked at him devilishly. "I'll make sure that your little hide away stays off the map to the others~" He gave me a huge smile as he started to do the paperwork for me before handing it over for me to sign. One of my newborns pulled out a sack of gold coins and started to pull out a few as he discussed how much to give with another. I purred and read over the paperwork before I signed them and eyed over my newborns, watching how much they had. "That's enough right there. In fact, add one more as a tip to the nice man~"
"That's very generous," the man said. A newborn brought it over and sat the stack down on the desk for him. Stefan gave me an excited look.
"Can I come with you to give the fox to Victor?" He asked me.
"Sure," I purred and gave the man back his copies of the documents and kept mine as I shoved them into my pocket and turned to my newborns. I looked the three cages over then slipped the tiny cub back into her cage before I shut it then looked at the man. "Oh, key please." He nodded and fished one out of the desk before giving it to me.
"That'll unlock all three. We really should be more careful about keeping copies around," he laughed out. "Have a good day, prince." he bowed again towards me. I nodded then smirked before I looked my newborns over.
"Victor's castle," I told them then grabbed Stefan, teleporting us to the main hall of Victor's little hide away. I looked around then whistled as I started to walk down the hall. "Oh, Viiiiictor boy!" I called out and smirked then paused as I caught a scent. Dammit, that French poodle is here. I scoffed and narrowed my eyes. Why are they here? I looked around cautiously then frowned. That little poodle never sends me letters either. Seriously, he completely ditched me after the war... and after going to kill his father on his own too! I narrowed my eyes and looked ahead of me before I tensed, feeling arms wrap around me from behind.
"Dante~ You're here! What a nice surprise," Victor purred out from behind me then kissed my neck. "What brings you here?"
"I have a gift for you," I told him and relaxed, giving a small purr.
"Is it that delightful human back there?" He asked and smirked, exposing his fangs.
"No," Stefan told him quickly. I heard my newborns teleport into the hall a little way down. "We brought you a better surprise. I think you'll really like him." Victor glanced back towards my newborns before he purred and walked to them. I smirked and followed, patting his back when we stopped.
"That little guy is a werefox and he's all yours. Careful~ he likes to steal," I warned him then purred as I watched Victor's eyes light up in wonder. He knelt quickly by the cage and stuck his finger in it.
"Werefox? These are rare~ I love that pretty red!" He laughed and exposed his fangs towards the little guy. The fox eyed over Victor curiously before he snuck up to the side he was on and eyed him over before he stuck his head out and wagged his tail as he yipped at him. He suddenly snatched Victor's shoestring and took off, tugging on it until it came out of his shoe and he took off running with it and added it to his now collection of laces. He yipped again in amusement and cackled like he had done something so sneaky it was the sneakiest of all sneaky. Better than when he stole my shoe. Stefan gave a laugh as he watched which riled up the fox as he looked proud then of his accomplishment. I shook my head a little then purred before I knelt by the cage beside Victor and unlocked it, reaching in and pulling him out before I slipped him into Victor's arms. Smirking, Victor rubbed the little guy behind his ears and tapped his nose. "You like to steal shoelaces huh? I'll have to watch my feet around you." He held him close before he looked at the shirt inside and grabbed it, wrapping the fabric around the little guy's body and smirked as he made sure to trap his legs so he couldn't take off running easily. "I'll have to make a room safe for you to stay in without destroying anything valuable to me either." He eyed over some of the holes in the shirt then went back to rubbing the fox's head.
"You'll have to name him," I reminded him then purred at him. "He's really young so take good care of him." Stefan walked up to us and smiled as he watched Victor. One of my servants took the information off the cage and started to look it over while a few eyed over the paper as well. Victor's little fox let out a yip as he looked up at Victor curiously and licked under his chin before laying his head against his chest.
"Oooh~" My servant said as he looked towards Victor. "This information is important Victor. You're going to need this. It has his diet on it. You're going to need to know the things to feed him to keep him healthy. It even lists ingredients you'll have to put in his food while he's young and growing. Especially while he's going through his forced transformations. I recognize some of these ingredients, they're natural pain relievers. It also says he's already started his stages of forced transformation, so these ingredients are needed to help him. You should make sure to give this to your head butler so he can keep this handy and can tell your chief what to make for your fox." Victor nodded then purred as he leaned down and sniffed the fox before he wrinkled up his nose.
"You need a bath..." he groaned then reached for the tag quickly. The fox gave a small growl and squirmed to get out of the shirt. I watched as Victor purred and kept him in it before he kissed the top of his head and smirked. "You're not going anywhere, little thief." He yipped at Victor before squirming even more as if he was making it a challenge now. "Heh~ no you don't," Victor said then eyed the cage over before he slipped the fox back into it and shut it on him. "Not until your room is ready." He eyed over the door and laid his ears back before he pawed at it and looked up at Victor with a pleading look.
"Awww," I purred out and smirked. "Trickster." Victor watched him then slowly opened the cage door, being quick to snatch the fox back out of it and hold him to his chest to keep him from getting away. His fox looked around and yipped before he licked under Victor's chin. He squirmed as he started for Victor's shoulder. I laughed as I watched Victor pin him against his chest with a smirk.
"Nope~ but I think I'll name you Trick~ It's perfect for you." He rubbed his head against Victor's chest before he started to bite his shirt, chewing on it. Victor groaned then grabbed the old shirt and slipped it between Trick's teeth to get him to stop chewing on the one he was wearing. Trick let out a small growl before he spat the shirt out and glared down Victor. Victor watched him calmly then put him back in the cage, patting his butt before he shut the door on him again. "Time out for you." He turned around quickly to face Victor and yipped at him before he walked off to the other side of the cage and turned his back on him. "Spoiled child," Victor muttered then tapped the bars. His fox laid down and started to chew on the cage as he ignored Victor. "Want to spend the night in a dark room?" Victor hissed at him. Trick raised his ears up and looked towards Victor. "You heard me. I was going to let you sleep in my bed, but I might just stick your cage in a closet." Trick eyed him over before laying his head down as he watched Victor. I saw my friend smirk before he slipped his fingers into the cage. "Come here cutie." Trick eyed over Victor's fingers and perked his ears up and shook his tail in amusement. "Come here~" He purred out again then opened the cage door, reaching in for Trick. Trick moved into a pouncing stance as Victor reached in before he dodged his arms and ran out of the cage quickly and yipped as he got behind Victor and pounced onto his back before he moved on top of the cage and pounced onto one of my newborns quickly. Victor gasped as he watched him then tsked. "I'm going to have to get something set up so you can't slip out of the castle while I'm not looking. Maybe I'll put a bell collar on you." He stood up then before he stretched then lightly nudged the cage with his foot, looking in at the shoelaces. He smirked then reached in, snatching them out and laughed. Trick moved off my newborn and started exploring the hall with a warning growl as he ran up to one of the cages and yipped at my weretiger before he started to circle the cage playfully. Victor watched him as he pocketed the laces then went for him slowly, sneaking up behind him and scooped him up as he moved him onto his back in his arms to keep his feet in the air. Trick pawed the air and gave a yip towards Victor and glanced around before his eyes landed on me. I watched him then smirked, exposing my fangs at him playfully.
"That's your master, kiddo," I told him then got to my feet, going for my clouded leopard's cage and unlocked it, taking her out with her blanket and held her close. She opened her eyes to look up at me and purred lightly towards me as she spat out her blanket and rawred up at me. Trick yipped towards us as he watched her curiously before he tried to squirm out of Victor's arms to come over to me. I laughed as I tapped her nose then kissed her head before I smirked over at Trick as Victor started to rub behind his ears. Trick yipped at Victor and bit down into his fingers playfully. My little clouded leopard pawed at my chest and twitched her ears.
"Can I let my tiger out?" Stefan asked softly. I paused and glanced towards him before I nodded and held the key out to him.
"You may, Stefan," I told him then smirked. "With a price." He blushed as he took the key before he leaned in and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you~" He hummed out sweetly before he took off towards the cage quickly and laughed happily as he reached it and unlocked the cage. He pulled out his little weretiger and started to rub his head as he brought him back to me. I watched them and shook my head before I looked down at the cub in my hands and leaned my face down to hers with a purr.
"I hope you like your friend that you'll meet soon," I murmured to her then kissed the bridge of her nose. She watched me curiously and gave a small purr. I heard Trick yip again as he stirred in Victor's arms.
"What?" Victor hummed out to him then smirked. "ROSE! COME MEET TRICK!"
"WHAT'S A TRICK!?" I heard Rose call from somewhere else in the castle.
"A FOX! I NAMED HIM TRICK! HE'S A BABY!" Rose suddenly appeared next to him and gave a giggle as she eyed over Trick in his arms.
"AWWEEEE! LOOK AT THOSE LITTLE FEET!" She yelled and started to play with Trick's feet. "Hi little guy~" Trick yipped as he eyed her over and tried to get into her arms. Victor let him and purred.
"Be careful, he'll steal something from you if you're not paying attention. That's why he's called Trick." She giggled as she held onto Trick and eyed him over.
"He's so cute~" She leaned in and smelled him before frowning. "You need a bath, Trick..." She gave him back to Victor quickly. "So, he's a werefox?" She asked curiously before looking around at the rest of us and she giggled as her eyes landed on me. "Dante!" She yelled and started for me with her arms out to hug me. Trick yipped and tried to go after her. I exposed my fangs at her as I widened my eyes and held onto my kitten tightly.
"R-Rose," I said and felt my stone pulse in panic. NOOO! The French Poodle's sister! She pulled me into a hug and gave me a kiss on the cheek before she eyed over the clouded leopard in my arms.
"Whoa~ What type of cat is she?" Rose asked curiously. "I've never seen one with such a long tail- look at that size!" She grabbed her tail and started to rub it. "Hi pretty girl~"
"Clouded Leopard," I told her then looked down at her. "I'm not sure what to name her yet. I bought her for a little girl.... I should probably let her name the kitten." Rose nodded as she eyed over the cat and looked towards the weretiger and rubbed his head before she walked back towards Victor and stole Trick from him.
"Let's get Trick a warm bath~ Something to eat~ and a warm place to nap," she suggested to Victor.
"Sure," Victor hummed out then handed her the tag with the health information on it. "There you go! Let's go see what we can do for him. I'll have his cage moved into my bedroom." Rose nodded before she looked towards me.
"You want to stay longer and watch? You can bathe your two new pets with us," she suggested. I thought it over before I shook my head.
"No," I told her sternly. I don't want to run into her brother. "I'll take my friends home and bathe the kittens there." Rose gave a slightly disappointed look.
"Okay..." She trailed off and gave me a smile. I nodded then turned to my newborns.
"Grab the cages and leave Trick's here. We'll all go home," I instructed them before I adjusted the leopard in my hands and grabbed Stefan, pulling him close. He gave me a sweet smile as my newborns teleported back home first. I stole a kiss from him before I teleported us back home then looked around before I purred. "Let's go bathe the-"
"KITTY!" I heard Raven squeal, tackling my leg before she started to giggle and reached for the leopard in my hands. "Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!" The leopard squirmed up to my shoulder quickly and wrapped her tail around me as she climbed up onto my head and hissed at Raven. I frowned then rubbed Raven's head to make her calm down.
"Raven, the kitty is very fragile," I warned her. "You have to be calm if you want to touch her." She whined and exposed her fangs before she looked at the leopard longingly and made grabbing motions with her hands for it. "No, calm down." The leopard made a swiping motion at Raven with her claws extended and gave a warning growl. I frowned and reached a hand up, rubbing the kitten's head before I tsked. "Don't do that," I warned her. "You'll make Raven cry and then she'll attack you when I'm not looking. She's friendly." She spat towards Raven before moving her hand away from mine and hissed once more. I looked at her then gently picked her up off my head and cradled her in my arms, rubbing her gently with the blanket to make her calm down. Raven whined as she watched us and fidgeted, a small pout on her lips as she shifted her weight back and forth. The leopard settled down a little and purred at my touch. I kissed the top of her head then slowly knelt down in front of Raven, reaching out and grabbed her hand before I made her grab the blanket to rub her with it. She widened her eyes as she slowly took over, rubbing the kitten with it then giggled. Her kitty bit down into the blanket again and started to suck on it as she purred and closed her eyes.
"Kitty~" Raven purred out then giggled as she watched her then gave her a big kiss on her head. She rubbed her head into the blanket quickly and pawed at it. "I wanna hold her!" Raven whined and looked up at me. I smirked then kissed her forehead.
"Not yet... but she's going to be yours," I promised her. Her eyes lit up in delight before she squealed and bounced up and down.
"Really? She's mine?!" She clapped her hands together and giggled. I smirked and nodded.
"But you don't get her till you prove that you can behave with her," I told her then tapped her nose as I stood up. She started to cry and grabbed my pants leg.
"But I wanna give the kitty lots of love and make overs and play with her!" She whined and nuzzled her head against my leg. I purred and rubbed her head, curling her purple hair around my fingers before I nudged her off.
"You will soon," I promised and patted her head. Stefan laughed a little as he watched Raven.
"She's so excited- it was a good choice," he told me. I nodded then ran my fingers through her hair.
"Yeah, it was~" I hummed out then smirked. "Raven, go ask a maid for some cookies, okay? I have to clean up your kitten." She nodded then nuzzled her head against my hand before she bit into my wrist and moaned, sucking down my blood greedily. The clouded leopard squirmed in my arms quickly from the smell of my blood and tried to get away from me. I looked at the leopard then slipped her into Stefan's arms so she would feel safer with the other cat then scooped up Raven. "Did you eat today?" I purred softly and kissed her temple. She gave a small growl and dug her fangs in deeper as she closed her eyes in delight. "Or did you just miss me?" She giggled and looked towards me as she took her fangs out and licked her lips as my blood dripped down my chin.
"Grrrr~" She leaned in and kissed my cheek before she went for my neck and giggled. "Dante~" I laughed and put my finger against her lips but gasped when I felt her bite into it, growling again. Stefan smiled at us before he started to walk off with the cats- leaving the room. I watched him go then frowned before I looked down at Raven and kissed her cheek. "I'm not going anywhere," I told her then started to rock her. Maybe I can make her knock out like Val did.... She hummed lightly before she curled up against my chest, letting her fangs unsharpen as she clung to me and started to sing softly under her breath. I laughed then gave her a soft purr as I looked around the room then walked over to a couch, waiting for her eyes to droop before I put her down on the couch and kissed her forehead.
"Get some-" She snatched a lock of my hair and purred as she tugged on it, her eyes coming open as she giggled.
"Dante! Nap with me!" She said sweetly and tugged on my hair again. I smiled at her then laughed as I picked her up and then laid down, putting her in the crook of my arm and cradled her to my side.
"There~ go to sleep," I told her. She nuzzled up against me and purred as she closed her eyes again and gripped my shirt happily. I watched her then closed my eyes slowly, deciding to take a little nap with her. Frederick would find me eventually... around dinner....
Victor's POV:
Rose placed Trick into the warm water we set up for him and moved back to let me have my fun bathing him. She moved around the bathroom quickly, finding and pulling out towels. I purred and leaned over the tub, grabbing a bar of soap and getting my hands soapy before I started to rub my hands against his fur to put it on him. "There we go~" I purred out and smirked before I playfully exposed my fangs at him. "Cutie." He yipped at me again before rushing up to the side of the tub and threw his paws up onto my chest and gave me a sweet look. I laughed then kissed his head. "My sweet Trick," I murmured as I rubbed behind his ears then purred at him. "Want to sleep in my bed with me tonight? I bet it's been awhile since you've had someone to sleep with to keep you warm at night." He eyed me over before he lowered his ears a bit and looked sad as he thought about it. "You have me now," I murmured and gave his head another kiss. "I'll keep you close and keep you warm." He licked under my chin and laid his head down on the side of the tub. "You'll love it here," I whispered then continued to rub the soap into his fur. "When I know I can trust you to not run away, I'll let you roam the castle as much as you want to play in it." He perked his ears up and quickly started to splash in the water- getting me wet and he played in it. I laughed and watched him before I playfully splashed him back and smirked. He went under the water before he started to swim a little in the water. I smiled then gave him some more water for the tub before I hummed and then smirked at the fox, starting to sing a Russian lullaby to him. He jumped out of the tub suddenly and shook the water off before he ran towards the door and went out of it since it was cracked open. I frowned then teleported out there and snatched him off the ground, taking him back inside before I dumped him into the water and shut the door firmly to avoid it again. He yipped as he jumped back out and ran up to Rose before, he bit down into the end of her dress and tugged on it playfully. She laughed and watched him.
"Trick," I groaned out as I watched him. "Behave for me, won't you?" He let her dress go and looked towards me before he ran up to me and yipped before he shook off the water on him. I laughed then picked him up before I rubbed his head then his back. "There we go~" I put him back in the water and got him wet again before I put more soap on him, taking my time to rub it through his fur. He let me and sat down in the water obediently. I watched him then purred at him before I rinsed him. "Good boy~ I'll reward you with something sweet," I told him then took him out, letting the water drain before I looked towards Rose for a towel, taking it from her then wrapped him up in its fluffiness. Rubbing him with it gently, I cradled him in my arms and put my back up against the tub and purred. Trick gave a yip towards me as he curled up into a ball in my lap. I laughed then cuddled him to me before I kissed the top of his head and purred loudly at him. He licked his jaws and rubbed his head into my shirt quickly before he bit down into it and started to chew on it. I laughed and let him this time before I went back to drying him and smirked. Lil' cutie. He chewed on my shirt- suddenly putting a hole in it. I frowned then felt my eyebrow twitch. "That... was my shirt. One of my favorite shirts." He looked up at me and yipped before he tensed up and I heard a bone crack inside him. He let out a small whimper and curled up into a ball. I widened my eyes then rubbed his head. "Sh-shhhh, it's alright," I told him then looked up at Rose quickly. "Remember that card from earlier? Go get me some of those natural pain easers for him. They're listed on there." She nodded as she pulled out the card I gave her and teleported quickly. Trick gave another whimper as he curled up against my body and trembled a little. I gave him a comforting purr and rubbed his head as I held him close and kissed his head. I heard another bone snap in him as he let out a whine. "You'll be okay," I told him and rubbed his ear. "Rose is getting something to make you feel better~" I got to my feet slowly, holding him in my arms as I smiled softly at him. He bit down into my shirt again and chewed on it. I laughed and rubbed his muzzle to help him before I took him out of the bathroom and sat down on a couch in my bedroom. I stretched out then laid down before I put him on my chest before I rubbed his back gently to sooth him. Rose walked out of the bathroom- looking for me.
"I got the chief boiling him some herbs so he can drink them. They'll be ready in a few minutes," she told me sweetly before she walked up and sat down by us. I heard a few more bones adjust in his body before more started up. I nodded to her and purred.
"Good, he's not happy," I told her then patted his head. "I wonder what his human form looks like. I bet he's real cute." She nodded as she eyed over Trick. Trick let out an uncomfortable huff as he looked frustrated and mad. "Just let it happen, Trick," I told him and kissed his head. "Look, you'll feel loads better when it's over." He twitched his ear as he looked towards me. He huffed out at me and twitched his ear. "I used to hang with a werewolf," I told him and smirked. "I know what I'm talking about." He tilted his head a little before he tensed up as more of his bones started to shift in his body and make noises. He yelped and let out a whine. Rose disappeared then. I gently gave him another kiss and held him close, rubbing his side. "Rose is getting you something to help you," I whispered then purred. He trembled at my touch and moved into the floor quickly as his transformation started to speed up-his body shifting fast into a little boy. It started to slow down as he took on the form of a human, but his ears and tail stayed. He curled up in the floor as his transformation finished. He had the cutest orange hair that matched his fur's red color. It curled into a thousand curls around his face and ears. I widened my eyes and then purred as I watched him and sat up. "Trick," I whispered then reached down, picking him up then put him in my lap, kissing the top of his head. "Come here...." He collapsed on my chest and trembled against my touch.
"Daddy," he whispered softly. I widened my eyes as I heard him and felt my stone pulse. Did he just... call me daddy? I looked down at him as I broke out into a loud purr and nuzzled my head against his.
"It's alright," I whispered and looked him over before I stood up, cradling him in my arms as I took him to my bed and laid down in it with him. I moved my warm blankets around him and brought him close against my chest as I rubbed his shoulder and kissed his cheek. He rubbed his eyes and gripped the blankets quickly before he pulled it into his mouth and bit into it, chewing on it. He's probably around five... "Don't tear them up..." I murmured then slipped my shirt off my head, tossing it near his hands to try to get him to take it instead. He looked towards my shirt and grabbed it quickly and curled up to it as he moved closer to me and bit down into it. I laughed and rubbed his head then glanced his ears over before I started to rub them for him. "There we go." He gripped my shirt before he looked towards my hand and stole it, biting down into it and gnawed on it lightly. I yelped then yanked my hand back. "No, that's my hand," I told him then tapped his nose. "Don't bite me." He frowned and licked his lips as he eyed my finger over. He suddenly went under the blanket and curled up as it closed around him. I laughed and stretched out before I purred. I wonder if he's going to continue calling me daddy.... That'd be adorable~ I think I could get used to it. I smirked and looked up at my ceiling before I stretched my toes out. "Want a cookie with your dinner?" I asked him.
"Cookie?" He asked softly. "What's a cookie?"
"You don't know what a cookie is?" I asked him and smirked. "I'll get you one~" I smirked then teleported down to the kitchen, snatching the cookie jar off the counter and pulled out a chocolate chip one before I teleported back to my bed then held it out. "Here, eat this." He crawled out from under the blanket and eyed the cookie over before he took it slowly and bit into it and took it under the blanket with him. I laughed and got back in the bed then smirked. "Do you like it?" I asked him softly.
"It's sweet," he told me and I could hear him licking his lips.
"That's the point~" I purred to him and laughed, peeking under the blanket at him. "You eat it for it's taste." He had finished it off and was curling back up into a protective ball. Rose teleported back in with a tray as she sat it down on the bed.
"Here Victor, you should feed him every bite. It's mushroom soup with the special herbs and some honey bread. There is also a glass of milk for his growing bones." She told me as she placed the tray in my lap suddenly and sat down on the edge of the bed. Trick crawled out from under the covers at the mention of food and eyed over the tray. I eyed him over then nodded.
"I probably should- Guess what! He called me daddy," I purred to Rose as I picked up the spoon then got some soup on it for him. "Come here Trick. I'll feed you." He crawled closer to me and grabbed my pants as he leaned in towards the spoon and opened his mouth.
"Awwww~" She purred in delight. Trick quickly snatched the bowl instead and started to drink from it- getting it all over his chest as he poured it. I shook my head then and tsked.
"Trick, you're going to get it all over my bed," I muttered as I watched him then picked up his bread, starting to tear it into bite sized pieces so he wouldn't scarf it and choke. He sat the bowl down as he finished it off then went for the bread pieces, I tore up for him and started to eat them. He gave a huge smile from the taste of honey. I laughed then smirked, offering him the glass of milk. "Drink some of this to wash it down," I told him and purred. He nodded and took the glass, drinking it like he done the soup. He licked his lips once he finished it off and eyed me over with a happier look like he was feeling better. I smiled at him then rubbed his head before I moved the tray out of my lap then pulled him to me, rubbing his ears as I held him. "Did you get enough to eat?" He nodded and laid his head down on my chest and rubbed it against me.
"Mhmm~" He gave a small yawn then rubbed at my sheets. His head started to nod off a little like he was trying to fight a nap. I smirked then started to rub his back soothingly, moving my hand in a circle as I purred in his ear. He'll fall asleep if I keep at this. Then I can spend time with Rose for a little bit before I check in on him. He shifted a little under me and rubbed at his eyes, still fighting it.
"My sweet little Trick," I murmured into his ear then started to rub them lightly. "It'll be fine. Take a nap so you can play with me when you wake."
"No," he whined out and rubbed his eyes. "I don't want a nap," he mumbled before letting out a yawn and shook his head to try to stay awake. I laughed and kissed his cheek.
"Want some warm milk mixed with honey?" I asked and smirked. That's what my mother used to do to me when I was young. She used to knock me out as quick as she could.
"I want more soup," he told me. "Mushroom soup," he mumbled and rubbed his eyes. I nodded then looked towards Rose.
"Could you get him another bowl?" I smirked a little as I rubbed his ears and purred. He'll get knocked out if he gets full enough. Rose nodded and grabbed the bowl before she disappeared. Trick let out a small sigh and rubbed his ears before he looked up at me and eyed me over.
"Daddy?" He asked softly and kissed my cheek. He buried his face into my neck quickly and let out a small huff. I purred loudly then kissed the top of his head before I rubbed his back and smiled.
"Yes, Trick?" I whispered then kissed between his ears. "What is it?"
"Tell me a story."
"A story~? What kind of story?" I asked him and smirked as I watched him. "I could tell you one about a wolf and a little girl."
"I want a happy story," he mumbled and let out a small yawn. Rose appeared with a full bowl of soup. I looked towards the soup and slowly sat us up before I took it from her and pressed it against his lips so he could sip on it. He sipped on it quickly and gave a pleased look from the taste and started to wag his tail happily. Heh, spoons aren't the trick with this boy. Good~ I won't have to teach him table manners. I smirked and rubbed his head before I gave it a kiss as I pulled the empty bowl away and gave it back to Rose.
"A happy story? Hmm... I know one about a werewolf... and a young man," I hummed out then laughed as I thought about it. I won't tell him the whole story... not until he's older. He nodded as he motioned for me to continue. He licked his lips and laid his head down on my chest and twitched his ear. Rose watched us as she sat down on the bed. I laid back with him and started to run my hand through his hair before I sighed. How to begin....
"Once upon a time... there was a young prince- a vampire prince. He had recently made new friends and was joining them in a war, so he was staying far away from home as he kept near them and lived with them all in one big castle. Now, this prince, he went for a walk late at night and saw a strange apparition- do you know what an apparition is?" I looked down at him quickly and lightly tugged on his hair. He shook his head as he watched me.
"Nu-uh," he told me and bit his bottom lip.
"A ghost like figure," I told him and smirked, exposing my fangs. "This one looked exactly like the prince- but younger, like a child."
"Why?" He asked me softly.
"Because the prince had memories locked up inside him, and his head was playing tricks on him, making him see a tiny version of him so that way he would explore his memories and find out what he didn't know about his past," I murmured. "He's a little insane sometimes." Rose watched me with interest and gave a smirk like she knew what I was referring to.
"What do you mean by insane?" Trick asked me.
"Well, for instance, he likes blood, he likes to torture his enemies and hear them scream, and he's not afraid in the face of danger even if he should be- to the point to where he's reckless," I whispered and rubbed his head. "I say a little though because he doesn't hurt his friends. He's loyal." Trick laid his ears back as he watched me.
"He doesn't sound like a good person," he whispered before he rubbed his ear. "I guess it's okay though if he's insane." I laughed then.
"No, he's not a very good person. He's definitely not a saint, but he loves his friends," I reminded him then tapped his nose. "I'll tell you one day what his name is."
"This is a true story?" He asked me.
"Yes, it's all true," I told him then purred as I smirked. "Every single bit of it. I know the prince." I AM the prince.
"Oh," he whispered and rubbed his eyes. "So, there was an insane prince having apparitions," he mumbled.
"Yes, he was walking one night when the moon was bright, traveling down a dark path on his own when he saw it and paused. His head started to hurt, and he fell over in the road from it as he lost his senses and started to see his old memories in little flashes. What he didn't know right away was that a werewolf was coming for him. He heard it howl and got scared, but he couldn't do anything about it because the apparition wouldn't leave him alone. When it got close... it attacked him and bit him hard, digging it's teeth into his skin savagely as it preyed on him when he was weak~" Trick grabbed my hand and bit down into it- beginning to gnaw on me as he watched me. I laughed and tapped his nose with my free hand but didn't push him off my other one.
"Werewolf bites are deadly for vampires, so in his weakened state, he wasn't much of a match for the wolf and was quick to fall under. He teleported back to the castle for help, but he took the wolf with him when he did it. Luckily, his friends found him in the front entrance and got the wolf off him then ripped his stone from his chest to save him. He didn't die from it because he had friends who cared about him, and because it wasn't too late. He got lucky~ Anyways, when he awoke, he was told that they captured the wolf for him to give it to him as a pet. He would get to decide its fate too. He went down to the dungeon where they were keeping it and took pity on it, seeing it just wanted a friend too and freed it. He and the wolf became very close friends and would chase each other around the castle often, never being apart often." He nodded as he watched me.
"So, they both got friends out of it?" He asked and gave a smile. "What about the apparitions?"
"The prince eventually stopped seeing it and regained all his memories," I explained then smirked. "The wolf helped him." He nodded and gave a huge smile before he let out a tired yawn and hid his face against me. "Get some rest," I whispered to him then looked towards Rose, meeting her eyes. I wonder if she picked up on who it was for real.... She wasn't around when it happened. She gave me a smile as she eyed us over. I could hear Trick falling asleep on me. I waited before I slowly replaced my body with a pillow for him and got up, grabbing Rose's hand as I pulled her up from my bed and into my arms with a purr. Rose giggled and gave my cheek a kiss.
"You were talking about Luuna," she whispered. I nodded then kissed her cheek back.
"He wanted a bedtime story~" I told her and smirked. "I think I'll tell him little pieces here and there and then tell him that it was about me when he's an adult."
"Are you excited to have him?" She asked curiously and watched me. "You've never had a pet like him before... One so young." I nodded and chuckled.
"Of course, I am~ I get to mold him into the perfect pet for me. He's so sweet when he wants to be," I told her then gave a playful growl. "Plus, he calls me his dad, and I think it's wonderful."
"You're a dad now," she teased me and giggled. "That's sweet. You're a great dad already."
"Heh... I would hope so~" I told her then glanced down at him. "Even if he's not a pureblood... he's still mine."
"Of course, he is~ He's even accepted you."
"He'll eventually stop calling me daddy when he gets older. It'll probably eventually turn into dad then father," I muttered at the thought then rubbed her head. "Oh well... he can't live forever and stay young forever...."
"You can always teach him to just call you daddy," she told me.
"I could," I hummed out. When he gets really old though... it won't be as cute. "I'll make him call me it even when he's an adult." I looked towards her then purred. "You weren't so bad yourself helping me," I teased her and exposed my fangs.
"Aw~ Well it was easy... Maybe that's because I've got natural instincts to take care of things since I'm a woman." She eyed over my fangs and smirked.
"Oh yeah?" I asked and got a little closer to her as I gave a small growl. "Natural instincts?" She giggled and took a step away from me. "Where are you going?" I purred out and smirked before I knocked her down onto the foot of my bed and leaned in towards her neck, scrapping my fangs against her soft skin. She giggled a little and grabbed my arms.
"V-Victor," she whispered.
"What?" I asked then started to sink my fangs in slowly. She gasped and tensed up under me. I smirked against her before I dug my fangs in deep and gripped her shoulders as I drank her blood. She sounds so surprised~ She gripped my arms tightly- digging her nails in. I moaned and then pulled my fangs out before I bit down into her again and growled playfully. She growled back at me and pushed up on my chest. Hissing slightly, I moved my fangs in deep and tightened my grip on her as I drank from her greedily, getting lost in the taste. She let out a small hiss and shoved me off and exposed her fangs.
"Victor," she hissed out. I looked at her then licked my lips before I started to purr.
"Don't look so upset~" I told her and smirked. She frowned as she watched me.
"I am though. You were getting greedy."
"You'd get greedy too if your fangs were in me," I told her and laughed, showing off my neck to her as I ran my fingers over it. She eyed my neck over and smirked.
"I have more control over myself," she told me. "Especially with how much alcohol intake I have."
"What? Who said anything about alcohol?" I asked and winked as I pulled out a bottle of vodka and showed it off to her. "Don't you wish you had a bottle?"
"No... I'm not as crazy as you are," she told me.
"Are you sure?" I asked and smirked, looking down into her eyes. "We both are highly respected purebloods- royals even, and we both have white hair... and we come from families with insanity in them~ You have a demon in you, remember? I have my crazy head, and you have your crazy blood." She eyed me over and frowned.
"Just because I have demon in my blood and white hair doesn't make me crazy!" She yelled out and clenched her jaw.
"Denial is the first step to acceptance," I purred out and winked at her. She frowned and eyed me over.
"I have white hair because it's genetic... not because I'm crazy. I might be part demon, but I have no desire to be as crazy as you or my brother."
"In a few centuries, you'll be singing a different tuuune~" I sung out and laughed a little. She shook her head and watched me.
"No.... I won't. I've got my head on straight."
"Eternity does things to the brain~" I hummed out and patted her cheek. "You'll see it my way one day." She shrugged and looked like she was thinking different. "When you do, let me know~" I told her and smirked before I kissed her cheek. "Until then~ I'll keep teasing you about your fangs! You don't use them enough~"
"I do use them," she told me and giggled. "I use them on the servants."
"Use them on the other vampires! It's so much more fun that way," I told her and laughed. "Come on~ don't you want to know what it's like to have so much power of the other royals that you can sink your fangs into them at anytime? Fangs are a true vampire's best friend."
"So?" She asked me and frowned. "I don't want to use them all the time. I have better things to do."
"You should learn to fight," I told her suddenly, eyeing her over. "I don't care if you're a lady."
"I can fight," she hissed and eyed me over. "You just won't see it."
"Can you fight with knives, swords, and bows?" I asked and raised an eyebrow. "You're Paris's younger sister... and Richard's sister in matehood." She eyed me over and smirked.
"My abilities at weapons is none of your business."
"It is my business. You're my friend, and if you ever end up under someone's boot, I need to know that you can break their ankle and get up."
"Oh, I'll do much more than break an ankle. Paris taught me how to fight," she hummed out. "I know things you'll never know about me."
"Want to bet?" I asked and smirked. "I have my ways for finding out what I want to know." I have sneaky newborns that could spy on her if I ordered it.
"Pshhhh," she smirked and eyed me over. "Fight me and find out." I smirked at her then.
"Let's go baby fangs~" I got off her then and laughed. She laughed and disappeared suddenly. I sniffed the air then started for my bookshelf, throwing a few books off it before I grabbed the knife hidden against the backboard and looked it's shiny blade over. I turned around quickly, putting my back against the bookshelf and looked around slowly, taking my time. She came back in just when I was thinking she wasn't going to and brought in a cup of tea and sipped on it. I eyed her over then threw the knife at her feet, smirking as it almost hit her shoe. "Tea? Such a lady," I tsked out and gave her a teasing look. She eyed me over and smirked as she finished her tea off.
"Oh~ Victor, you're still wanting to play?" She asked.
"I'm always wanting to play," I told her and smirked right back. "For Paris's sister, you're a little bit of a disappointment when it comes to playing. If he was feeling alright, I'd go play with him." She nodded and teleported to the nightstand before she sat her cup down. She teleported back to my knife on the floor and kicked it up into her hand before she threw it at me fast and got me in the leg. She crossed her arms as she watched me. I chuckled and yanked the knife out before I licked it clean then teleported in front of her, pushing it up against her throat as I moved an arm around her waist. "Want to go play downstairs where it's more... interesting?" I murmured then exposed my fangs. "I have more toys there~" She teleported us outside into the white snow and shoved me down into the cold fluffiness of it and knocked the knife out from between us.
"Down here?" She asked me.
"No~ in my dungeon with all my prisoners and torture tools~" I purred out and sat up before I looked at the snow and picked some up, examining it with faint interest before I tossed it at her feet. She eyed over the snow before she eyed my body over and licked her lips.
"Victor," she purred out lowly.
"What?" I asked and smirked as I watched her, running a hand through my hair to get the few strands out of my face and looked up at her. Did the lady just lick her lips? Hmph, she'll be like me in the future whether she likes it or not. She eyed me over and giggled.
"I don't want to fight you," she told me calmly. "I'd rather drive you crazy in another way."
"Oh?" I asked and raised an eyebrow. "Just what are you proposing~?" She eyed me over before she smiled and picked up the knife.
"Want me to torture you?" She asked curiously. "I know a few things~" Did she just... Oh. My. Demonic. Nightmares. I smirked at her then grinned evilly. She will end up just like me~
"If you want~" I purred out to her and gave her a teasing look.
"Really?" She asked with a dark tone and gave me a glare that was worth shivering for. "Get your ass in a cell then."
"And you're not insane~" I sung out as I got to my feet and hummed, walking towards the castle calmly. She followed me and giggled.
"No~ I'm not insane. You're insane."
"Wanna bet~?" I asked and looked at her before I snatched her arm up and exposed my fangs, leaning in for her neck. She snatched her arm away quickly.
"Whoa~ Don't bite me."
"What? You're going to have to work hard, Miss I'm-going-to-torture-you."
"You want to be tortured though~ So don't give me a fight or I'll have to make it last longer."
"What if that's what I want?" I asked and winked at her playfully before I shoved her down into the snow and went for her. She teleported then and I felt her heel dig into my head as she shoved it straight into the snow. I groaned as I hit the ground then curled up. Crap.... I looked around as my vision blurred from the impact and shakily tried to get onto my hands and knees.
"What was that about me being weak?" She asked and giggled. "I told you I'm more than you think I am. I'm Paris's sister after all." I found her already walking back towards my castle. I looked towards her then teleported behind her before I grabbed her by the hair and yanked her back against my chest, biting into her neck. She let out a hiss and tensed up against me.
"Victor," she hissed out in a warning tone.
"What?" I hummed out into her ear then licked her neck clean. She turned in my arms quickly and exposed her fangs.
"Stop biting me!"
"No~ I'm not going to quit doing what I love," I told her and purred as I licked my lips clean. She tsked and eyed me over.
"What am I going to do with you?" She asked and eyed me over. She grabbed my ear suddenly and yanked me closer before throwing me back onto a metal table as our environment changed to a table in my torture chamber. I groaned as my back hit it then went to sit up.
"Love me, take good care of me, check in on me to make sure I don't rot on my throne," I told her calmly then purred as I looked around. Huh, she picked a nicer torture chamber. There's no blood in this one yet.
"Love you?" She asked curiously as she strapped me down and gave a playful purr. "You want me to love you?" I looked at her then purred.
"Isn't that what everyone wants? Being surrounded by people who love them?" I asked her then smirked. She shrugged and finished strapping me down before she pulled out a bucket of needles that was strangely sat up already. She smirked and stuck one in me quickly.
"I don't know... We'll see when I get done with you," she sung out. I frowned and eyed over the bucket before I looked at her. Did she plan this?
"Rose," I muttered. "Did you plan to lure me in here?"
"What do you think I was doing when I went away for so long?" She asked me and licked her fangs before smirking. "These will equal out to all the little times you bit me. I hope you like me getting you back." I growled and strained against the straps before I hissed at her and exposed my fangs.
"When I get out of these," I hissed and narrowed my eyes. She completely planned this all just because I bit her?! Damn, I don't mind playful torturing, but if she was going to do this just because I bit her- Oh, I'm so going to get her back for this....
"Don't look at me like that~ I'm not doing this just because you bite me.... You know you want this~" She stuck another in me. "Now relax~ We're going to have lots of fun together as you explore my...." She leaned in towards my ear, "Dark side~" she let her breath touch my ear before she pulled back and gave me a huge smirk and stuck another in me. "I'm going to keep going until these buckets run out and there's nowhere else to stick you," she told me and stepped aside to show five more buckets full of needles. I glared at them then at her before I hissed again.
"What do they do?" I asked her and narrowed my eyes. I'm going to slip some knock out stuff into her food tonight....
"Nothing... they just numb you after a little while and you'll soon realize you won't be healing until they come back out~ Happy bleeding. Don't worry... Your blood won't go to waste... I'll feed it to some of your servants." Screw her. I glared her down then started to bite at my restraints, snarling. She laughed as she watched me.
"They're made of space rock... You're not getting out of these chains~" She sung out. I looked the chains over then tugged at my body hard until I heard a bone snap and I managed to slip one of my legs out as pain lanced up my body. I gave a small groan then kicked at the other leg, trying to break it to get it free.
"Victor," she said in a disappointing tone. "I thought you wanted to play with me," she hissed before tsking and suddenly pulled out a new needle with a syringe.
"I don't know what this liquid does...." she trailed off. "But I heard it'll keep you loopy enough to have no control over your body... Let's try it out," she suggested and brought it to my chest to stick into my heart. I smirked and then teleported quickly, shoving her down onto the table then snatched it before I stabbed her in the spine with it and injected it into her system then yelped as I fell from the weight on my broken legs. She yelped and gave a sharp growl.
"VICTOR~" She yelled out. "How dare you! I'm torturing you, remember!?"
"I don't like needle torture," I told her calmly from the floor.
"You're the one that bites all the time," she grumbled out.
"A real vampire takes what they want with their fangs~" I sung out to her and smirked. "Besides, you were going to let my blood go to mere servants."
"You're no fun," she sighed out. "I thought you wanted a bit of fun.... You're so lame."
"You're lame. Torture by acupuncture? You could have done so many other things other than that," I scoffed. "I would've laid there if it was something else."
"I thought it was pretty clever~ It scared you enough to run from it. No one does it either which they should~ Vampires can't heal with little tiny things in them... so they just keep bleeding out and feeling the numbing pain of the needles. It's as good as being bit a thousand times. You have to admit it's a good idea. You're so scared of it being done to you."
"Because you'll leave the needles in," I muttered.
"I would have taken them out after I got them all in~" She hummed out.
"No, you would have gotten more tea," I told her and looked towards her calmly.
"Victor~ You're not fun playing victim..."
"You let me stab you," I told her and chuckled. "You should've been quicker. If you were, you could've stopped me then forced me onto the ground. It's not like I can stand~" She huffed and sounded mad then. "What? How long do you think that stuff takes anyways?" I asked and then sat up, eyeing over my broken legs before I started to straighten them out to make them fix themselves. "You still have to torture me."
"Half an hour...." She trailed off in sadness.
"Half an hour? What if I bled it out of you?" I asked and groaned.
"Less," she purred out. "It normally takes a human an hour to get out of this.... So, I shortened the time since we have quicker immune systems."
"Hmm... want me to bleed it out of you?" I asked her curiously. "After all... I still have these other needles in me." I looked towards them then frowned.
"What? You want me to continue sticking more in you?" She asked happily.
"Might as well finish~" I hummed out and laughed. "Besides... I've never tried it before as a torture. Maybe it's worth it. If it works well enough, I'll use it in the beginning of my torturing."
"You should~ But you have to be careful about where you stick them if you want their pain and life to last as long as possible."
"Hmmm... just how long have you been looking into this stuff?" I asked as my legs started to heal. I got up then before I limped over to her and looked her back over then started to suck it out of the needle mark as I took care not to swallow it.
"Why do you ask?" I could hear the smile in her voice. I spat it out onto the floor then laughed.
"Because I know you want to be a doctor," I hummed out and went back to sucking it out.
"Well..." She trailed off. "For a few years," she admitted. "Vlad doesn't come around me anymore so I had to find something to do." I spat again then smirked.
"You could've come to see me more~" I purred to her then leaned back in for another round.
"I know~ I'm here now, aren't I?" I spat the last little bit out then patted her shoulder.
"Yes, you are," I murmured then looked her body over as I smelled that most of it was out of her system. "Try moving." She twitched her fingers before she moved her wrist and slowly moved off the table and stood up before she turned and grabbed my arm. I smirked at her then purred. "Hi there~ You feel better?"
"Much," she purred out before throwing me down on the table. "Are you ready for your treatment?" She asked in a teasing tone.
"Oh yes ma'am~" I said then smirked. "Miss doctor woman." She tsked before she strapped me back down.
"This time don't escape," she warned me.
"Better make it fun then~" I purred and gave her a small wink before I stretched out and gave a small moan as I heard a few bones in my back pop. She laughed and stuck me with a needle.
"Fun?" She asked curiously.
"U-uh huh," I said and shrunk against the table. "Fun...." She nodded as she continued sticking me with needles. I gave a small groan then looked up at her. "At least entertain me if you are going to stick my whole body with those needles." She could tell me a story or the latest gossip of the day. "It'll take hours to get all those needles in."
"Oh~ You want the process sped up?" She asked me and smirked. "I could make that happen." She smirked and suddenly started to become a blur to my vision as she stuck them in me quick, getting a bucket in me within minutes. She changed out the buckets as she slowed down and started to take her time again on the second bucket to let me take in what she just done to me within that short time span. "Let's see.... I'll tell you a story," she decided and started on a story of red riding hood and the big bad wolf.
