Chapter 9 - Officially a Slave.

Artemis sat down quietly in the carriage and was thinking of how all these things happened to her until Alexander entered and sat opposite her and carriage started moving.

He stared at her and she kept her eyes down, he could hear her heart beat and it was thumping very fast, he smirked,

"What's your name?", he crossed his legs and placed one arm on top of the carriage bench,

"H-Huh?", she looked up to meet his dark red colored eyes and her heart skipped a beat,

"I do not repeat myself", he leaned back and he didn't meet the two skips in her heart beat,

"It's Ar-Artemis", she stuttered,

"Artemis...", he stressed her name and looked at her as she swallowed, he loved the way her name rolled down his tongue,

"...now to relay your purpose, from now on you'll serve as my 'personal' pet...", she doesn't like the sound of personal and she grimaced,

"...you will know what you'll be doing as time goes on and one more thing, you must do whatever I ask you to do without questioning me and do not ever think of running away, Is that clear?", he smiled revealing his white fangs and she nodded with fear,

" Oh...", he tilted his head attractively and smiled, "I'm Alexander Quinne and from now on, you'll call me Master Alexander of just master. In time, you'll learn to like your charming master", He grinned.

When they reached a bump, Artemis hissed because of the pain on her knee, she had forgotten about the wound, Alexander narrowed his eyes to her knee and she held it,

"Come here Kitten", she hesitated at first and when she saw him raising a brow, she stood up and limped to sit beside him,

"Turn and let me see your knee", she faced him and raised her knee up a little but he grabbed her knee and raised it even more which resulted in her thigh coming into view and she hurriedly covered it with the sack clothing, but he saw it anyway and he chuckled inside him, the sight of her fair smooth thigh made his lower part tense up.

Alexander rubbed his thump on her wound and the dried part came right off, she grimaced at the sting and then he pulled out the glass shard, he used his index finger to clean the blood and he licked it, his reddish tongue poked out and licked the blood off his finger, Artemis face reddened from the erotic action and she looked away, Alexander smirked and noticed that her knee was still bleeding, he intended to lick it so he moved closer and her eyes widened, she moved back but he grabbed her dainty ankle and moved her knee closer to his mouth, Artemis heart was thumping harder and faster but luckily she was saved by the coachman,

"Young Master Xander, we have arrived", Alexander sighed in frustration, his fun had been disturbed, he dropped her leg and Artemis was relieved. Alexander took his handkerchief from his coat pocket and tied it around over and around her wound, Artemis was surprised and her heart and face felt warm.

The carriage passed the gold coloured gate and stopped right in the courtyard in front of the huge royal like mansion, Artemis got down first followed by her master. Her jaw dropped at the sight of the huge mansion, the beautiful statues and the various grand fountains. The mansion had intricate dark green creepers carefully up the walls and around its pillars.

The color of the mansion was a proud color of royal blue and there were several carriages and horses. Alexander noticed Artemis as she was accessing the place with an unconscious faint smile and a fascinated expression, for some reason he felt satisfied that she was fascinated with his home, he smiled,

"Alexander!", an high pitched voice could be heard and his smile fell as he grabbed Artemis' wrist and he headed towards the mansion, Artemis stared at her hand and followed her master as she saw a beautiful lady coming towards them -Her master to be exact. The lady was wearing a black gown, it was so off that it showed most of her breasts. The back was so low it reached her waist showing her pale back.

"Xander, I waited for you all day in your room and you couldn't even show me some affection for being late", she pouted and held her bright red lips into a frown, hoping to look cute but Alexander wasn't the least interested,

"Haven't I given u enough 'affection', Diana", he held a blank expression and Artemis face burned red knowing the meaning of what he said, she felt embarrassed for the lady and she could see the lady's cheek turn bright pink and she glanced at him, he face was still blank. Diana cleared her throat,

"Sweet Alexander...", she moved closer to him and whispered in his ear, "...how about we stay together this night, hmm?", she played with a strand of his hair and Artemis almost squirmed at her perverty actions and Diana stared her, Alex pulled Artemis aside and the lady's eyes narrowed,

"Who is she and why is she standing so close to you, she looks like... a slave", she looked at Artemis with disdain,

"She is my pet and who said you could stay in my room without my permission", he raised a brow as he said coldly,

"Cleopatra did and it's not the first time I would be in your room", she blushed and Alexander smiled, he moved closer and whispered in her ear,

"I have to go now, looks like I need to have a talk with my little sister", he winked and pulled Artemis inside whose face was as red as a tomato, leaving Diana still blushing profusely.

'How am I supposed to stay with this perverted shameless vampire and what if he...he... oh crap!, he is a vampire and I'm in a house that will be filled with blood lusting vampires. I am going to die here eventually', Artemis wailed inside her head.

'But I have to admit, this man is gorgeous, I've seen a lot of good looking guys in magazines but they are not one third of his vampiry gorgeousness and that enchanting face, his tall moderate muscular structure, his long elegant legs, that taut chest...', she slapped her self in her head, what was she doing, this is no time for drooling, you are not in phoenix anymore, she cried in her head.
