Vile of Blood - Megan Doss


The Vile...Of Blood
It was a normal,sunny day when the bell rang. I got up lazily from my chair and headed toward the door and opened it tiredly,I barely any time to speak the word hello before a package was shoved in my face and a weird monotone voiced rang out,”Package for Emily...*he paused* Grund.” I shoved down the package and signed the little clipboard before going back inside excited,I never got a package before. I rushed into my room to open the package.
I quickly but carefully opened up the package,to find that in the sea of Styrofoam packaging was a small vile of blood,with a tiny tag attached that said,”Drink me” on it like something from Alice in Wonderland,only more Vampire like and evil. I hesitated with the vile but lifted it to the light to examine it,my breathing became heavy and my eyes began to quiver,I was terrible queasy at the site of blood.
I carefully opened it and sniffed the contents in curiosity,bad idea on my part but I digress...I held my nose and grimaced,”this is going to suck...” I whispered under my breath and stuck the vile up to my lips and threw my head back,downing the veil's contents. As soon as the cold,salty liquid slid down my throat I began to feel faint..The last think I remember is a bat flying into my window and a poof of smoke...and a dark silhouette standing over me...chuckling darkly.
I woke up in a dark,damp,rusty cage...My head was throbbing in agony...I groaned and ran my hand along my neck. I froze in shock...there were two small marks on my neck...like a snake bite of a sort. I took a shuddery breath as I sat up weakly,my hand on my neck. It took a minute for my eyes to get adjusted to the dark dim room. I took the time to examine my surroundings. I was in a dark,dimly lit room,There seemed to be a path leading up to my cage which was suspended from the ceiling above spikes,leading into the darkness to what I figured was a door leading out.
I hadn't noticed the figure standing in front of my cage.
“Hello...Emily..”, A deep voice called out as a tall,lean man in a dark black,grey,and maroon three piece suite with a black and gold walking stick came into the light of the dim room,his yellow-red eyes glowing though his dark black hair.
My blue gray eyes widened as I sat there in fear,shaking like a helpless cold,wet,abandoned dog,”W-Who are you...? Where am I!?” I asked hesitantly,fearing the answer.
The man chuckled,a dark,sinister chuckle and replied,”In my castle of course...you see...I have been lacking company and have been watching you for some time now...you seemed so bored in your little town house..” He grinned and continued,”so I decided to make you my personal servant...a butler if you will” He smiled widely,with a gleam of mischief in his yellow-red eyes.
,”W-What! I-I cant! I couldn't! I don't even know how to be a butler...! I don't even know your name..” I hastily replied.
The Mysterious man smiled sweetly and chuckled,”There will be time for names later...for now you may call me master...I will teach you what to do and your daily routine from now and until it is changed...understand?”.He said sternly.
I replied with a nod and and fell silent...
To Be Continued...
