I woke up feeling hungry and tired I reached out for my bedside lantern and couldn't reach it and that was when I realize that I am not in my room. Shit! my plan failed, I am going to be in a huge trouble. I got up and tried to reach out to the door as the room was dark and then I heard his voice.
"Trying to escape again huh? "I was not trying to escape" I said in my mind as I was too scared to talk. "Then what were you trying to do witch? He said like he was in my head. "Oh my, he can read my mind" I said again in my mind. "Such a bold move, unfortunately I own you and I don't like when my properties are missing. Change and meet me outside for your punishment" he said and left immediately. At least I was not murdered, I need to find another chance to escape again and then I realized I was in a different room with all my properties in the wardrobe, guess I will be staying here for now.
I changed my clothes and stepped outside, a guard was already waiting for me by the door and he told me to follow him immediately.
"Where are you taking me to?" I asked him but didn't get any reply.
We got to the kitchen section and he told a fat lady there that this is the newest addition to her staff and then he turned and left without sparing me a glance. "Go and change into the servant's uniform" the fat lady told me. Shocked, I still remained where I stood and that was when she repeated herself but this time around screaming with so much rage.
I moved immediately to a small room nearby and changed to the outfit she gave me and when I came out, I saw the lady that dressed me up for my wedding waiting for me by the door.
"Such a pity! She said snickering you should be grateful that you are still alive now follow me"
She assigned me and two other maidens to clean the dining hall and serve breakfast as the king will be expecting an important guest.
I heaved a sigh of relief that it was not a hard work at the very least but my joy was cut short when one of the maiden said that it was over for us as what the lady meant was that we were going to be breakfast for the guests coming.
"What do you mean?" I asked her. "Anybody assigned to serve breakfast will be the dessert as the king and his sons are blood sucking vampires and they make sure to drain you till the last drop of your blood" she said with a tear dropping from her eyes. Before I could understand what she meant, we were called to clean and start serving breakfast as the guests has arrived and would soon be ready to eat. The two guests were seated and we started serving them. From their discussion, I could understand that they were relatives of the king but the king can't attend to them so I overhead the butler telling them that Darcy will soon join them but they can go on with their meal.
We stood one side as we are not meant to leave till they are done I was lost in my thoughts when one of the guest asked me to fetch him a new glass. When I returned, I saw one of the maidens on the floor and while I was trying to understand what was happening, I saw the other maiden who was crying earlier being drained of life. The glasses I was holding fell from my hands out of shock and broke on my feet giving me a very deep cut but I was not bothered about it being that I would be the next person.
"Stupid girl!" One of the guests called me.
"you would have died peacefully as I would have compelled you not to feel what I was going to do but because of your silly mistake, you would die a painful death and uhhhhh your blood smells so divine can't wait to have a taste" he added
I felt a gush of wind and I was already kneeling in front of him, I closed my eyes dreading what was to come next when I heard his voice. "Such disrespect you have for me Aiden" It was Darcy "What disrespect Darcy? They are just food" Aiden said trying to continue his attempt "My wife is a food meant for only me now get your hands off her" Darcy said unbothered
"your wife? Why is she in a maid's uniform and how would I have known?" Aiden said releasing me
"If you attended the wedding yesterday, you would have known and it's none of your business on why she is wearing that". Darcy said giving me a disdain look before telling me to get out of there and cover my injury as I am attracting other vampires in the castle.
"Seems like she has your interest" The other guest Aaron said for the first time.
