Thanks its.....
But my words halt un my throat when i feel him clip a matching gold leash to the collar.
what? I'm not a damn dog. I shouted.
I won't walk on all fours and lick your palm you perverted...
It's bot about that. it's a custom. He cut me off. All slaves wear leashes ar events like this. it's a symbol 9f our own status.
It's a symbol of ownership and it's sick. i said with a smug expression.
You know i didn't choose thus for you or me...he said.
He threads the leash loosely through his palm looking down at it with more disgust than Beauty.
It's time. I'll try to make this night end quickly, he said.
Unable to protest, Beauty follow Alarik out the door ,led by her short golden leash.
After a ling silent walk, They reach a set double doors. They are thrust open upon his command.
Beauty gasp when she's led into the massive, glittering ball room.
Acrobats swing from the high ceiling through hoops of fire. Dragons dance ,slaves attend all in a swirling haze of finery.
This is alot to take in . i said.
just stay close to me. you'll be alright. he assured.
The crowd parts for Alarik as he strode into the room. Guest and slaves alike stare at Beauty in her mesmerizing rose gold gown, desire and envy lilting in their eyes .
Alarik there you are...celeste said.
The leash in Alarik hands tightens when he sees Celeste. She strides in a tacky over the top gown.
Doesn't your slave look nice....she said angrily.
Celeste looks Beauty up and down, her lips curl up into a jealous rage.
Bending my knees i slide into a low polite curtsy. Celeste raises her chin.
Learning her manners to....Celeste said.
Yes...she's quite to find. Alarik said.
Celeste watch Alarik get lost ib looking at Beauty. She coughs pointedly.
And what do you think of me?she asked.
You look uh quite shiny...Alarik replied flatly.
Some one snorts at Alarik comment. It's a slave tied to Celeste leash. She strikes him hard in the mouth.
Argh! the slave yelled.
I recognised him. The boy i saved during the hunt.
One more word anf I'll have your tongue cut out,Theo.
Sorry mistress. I didn't mean to, i was.....
Celeste throws hum to the ground and picks up a glass of wine from a passing slave. You eant to attend the party? Laugh like a guest? Here. Have a drink she extends her fangs and dripsome of her painful venom into the glass. She holds it out to Theo. He stares at it in horror.
Come on drink. It will only hurt alot. Celeste said.
That's enough Celeste...Alarik said angrily .
I'll handle my property you handle yours. Celeste replied in anger.
Please mistress I'm sorry, I.... Theo tried pleading
She grabs Theo by the nose tilting his head back. Thr poisoned glass near his lip.
I can only watch in silence. I'm powerless here. My whole body shakes as i watch helplessly. Celeste tips the wine into Theo mouth.
Don't look.....Alarik said as he shield me into his chest.
I should have done something.....i should have .... but i stop when i notice more and more peiple looking at us.
Alarik we are drawing to much attention someone could notice the bandage and...
We'll just have to distract them then....he said.
Alarik slips his hand around my waist. turning me masterfully untill she's in the centre of a dance floor.
How did he....I'm surprised.
