"Autumn, darling. Come here, please." Madam calls for me.
"Yes, Madam." I reply making my way to her room.
"As you know, your 18th birthday is tomorrow. Making you a legal adult. I had originally promised your mother I would raise you until your 18th birthday, then I would keep you as my slave but with recent changes in the vampire realm this is no longer possible. So, instead tomorrow morning you will wake up at dawn and you will leave my home and make a new life for yourself. A fresh start. I only ask, that you never return here. Understand, darling?" she tells me softly but firmly.
I look at her in shock for a moment before answering.
"Yes, Madam. As you wish." I reply knowing better then to question or deny her.
"Go have one last shower here and then we will have our last meal together. After that you must collect what you wish to take, make sure it is light so you can carry it. Then you must sleep so that you are well rested for your new journey." she tells me, and I give her another nod.
"Thank you, Madam Diana." I tell her before making my way to the bathroom.
I quickly jump in the shower and wash my long natural deep purple hair and scrub my body from head to toe. I jump out once I am finished and dry my hair before pulling on a blue night dress that went just below my knees, with a pair of panties.
I then make my way downstairs where I find Madam Diana already sitting at the table with a bowl of chicken soup on the table across from her. I quickly go and sit across her.
"Thank you." I say softly with a small smile.
"You're welcome. Now I have something for you. Your mother wanted me to give you this on your 18th birthday. So, here you are, darling." she says opening her hand up to me and showing me a beautiful rose gold crescent moon.
"It's beautiful." I state in awe, and she gets up and comes over to me, clipping it behind my neck.
"Yes, it is and now you will have it every day to wear. It was very special to your mother. Your father gave it to her." she explains, and I smile despite the small painful pang in my chest.
Oh, how I wish my mother would have told me more of him. How I wish I had of been able to meet him before his death...
"Now go rest up my child." she tells me as I finish my food.
"Yes, Madam. Thank you for everything you have done for me." I tell her and she pulls me in for a gentle hug.
"Goodbye, my sweet girl." she replies softly before pulling away.
"Goodbye, Madam." I whisper in return, before making my way back up to my room.
As I walk inside my bedroom for the final time, I grab a small bag and pack one nightdress, two panties, two bras, one day dress and my hair and toothbrush. I place them into a small shoulder bag before climbing into my twin size bed and falling asleep.
I wake up as soon as the sun shines into my room and quickly get up and change into a fresh day dress.
I quickly use the bathroom and brush my teeth and hair before returning to my room and grabbing my bag and slipping on my sandals. I whisper a quick goodbye before quietly making my way out of Madam Diana's house, knowing I would never be able to return.
As I reach the end of her driveway I decide to go right and begin walking down the long-deserted road.
After what feels like hours, a car slows down and pulls up beside me. The window rolls down and I see a man in approximately his 40's.
"Care for a ride?" he asks kindly.
"Oh, um, yes please." I reply, surprised by the offer.
"Get in." he replies simply.
I get into the backseat and buckle in as he starts back onto the road.
"Where to?" he asks.
"Um, the nearest town?" I reply unsure of where to go.
"That's awful far, sweetheart. I won't be able to do that drive this late into the day, but I can let you stay at my place for the night and take you first thing tomorrow morning." he offers, and I bite my lip for a moment, contemplating his offer.
"Are you sure? I wouldn't want to burden you." I reply softly after a moment.
"Of course, that would be better than you out on the roads all night. You never know what is lurking in the dark these days." he tells me, and I shiver in response.
He wasn't wrong. Madam Diana had told me about all the different creatures that lurked in the dark and they all terrified me.
"Okay, thank you." I reply, biting my lip anxiously.
I could only hope he wasn't one of those creatures in disguise.
We drive quietly, making a little bit of small talk. So far, he seems like a nice gentleman and I felt incredibly grateful that he had picked me up and was letting me stay at his house before taking me to town tomorrow morning. As we pulled up in front of a small house, he gets out and comes around, opening the door for me and leading me inside. "It's very nice." I tell him with a smile and he grins in return. "Glad you like it. Would you like me to show you to the guestroom?" he asks, and I nod my head. He holds his hand out and I let him grasp mine gently before leading me up a flight of stairs and into a decently sized, large bedroom with the biggest bed I had ever seen. "Oh my gosh, this bed is huge!" I state amazed. "It's a king size. You never seen one before?" he asks, and I shake my head in response. "Feel free to go lay on it and try it out." he suggests, and I quickly drop my bag and hop onto the bed backwards, letting out a giggle. "Wow! This is so comfortable! I cou
I quickly blink my eyes as fast as I can, doing my best to focus my vision. As my eyes finally begin to focus, I realize I am drifting down a long, wide river. As I try to swim to the shore, I quickly realize how fast the current is picking up and the harder it is becoming to stay afloat, let alone swim. I start to get pulled under the water and I do my best not to panic but the more I realize that I can't seem to stay afloat the more my body begins to panic, and I knew, deep down. There was no way I was surviving this. I suck in a couple of deep breaths to the best of my ability and as the water starts to take over more, I let out a final scream for help before the water takes me completely under. I try to make my way up to the surface, but the current is too strong. I hold my breath, doing my best to not pass out and hoping the current will soon let me up for air. I try to fight against the water and make my way up to the surface, but the current is just too strong and it's not
"How did you end up in the river? Most people don't know of it and those that do are familiar with its strong currents." he starts off by asking. "It's a long story." I reply with a small sigh. "I have time." he retorts simply. I take a deep breath before explaining everything starting from the moment Madam Diana had told me to go. Leaving out the part about killing the man and the voice in my head. "I'm sorry that happened to you." he says with a frown, and I give him a small smile. "It's not your fault. How did you find me?" I ask, hoping I'm not over stepping. "I just happened to be going for a stroll through the woods and I happened to hear your scream." he explains, and I nod my head surprised. "How were you able to get me out?" I ask and he chuckles. "A vampire's strength is much stronger than those currents, little fawn." he chuckles softly, and I blush at the nickname. "Of course." I reply slightly embarrassed. "I must say, it is not often a vampire lets a slave have
We make our way back up the stairs and into the bedroom I had woken up in. He takes me threw one of the doors on the side of the wall and turns on a light revealing a beautiful large bathroom. "Wow." I comment amazed. He walks over to a large bathtub and turns it off as the water had finished filling it. "I never knew they made bathtubs so big..." I say taking it in. "I have lots of things to show you in this life then." he chuckles, and I blush in embarrassment. "Would you like the jets on?" he asks, and I frown. "Jets?" I ask confused. "I'll turn them on and if you don't like it, I can turn it off, but I think you will enjoy it." he replies, and I nod. "Thank you." I reply, and he shoots me a grin. "You're welcome. Now, I'm going to go get you another one of my shirts. If you need me just yell." he says and I nod my head, smiling. He walks out of the room, shutting the door behind him and I take the shirt off before climbing into the bathtub full of bubbles. I let myself s
"Auttie, come here." Sir Bruce calls for me. "Coming!" I yell, quickly putting my book down and running down the stairs to the living room where he is sitting. "What were you up to?" he asks, as I enter the room. "Reading." I reply, making him chuckle. "You and your books." he comments. "It's how I learn." I retort. "Well, did you want to take a break and play a game?" he asks, and I nod my head happily. "It's a new game, we haven't played it before, but I think you're going to like it and we have all weekend to do it. We just can't play in front of Madam Diana though, okay? Don't even talk about it. She really doesn't like it and she can get really mad fast, and I wouldn't want her to take it out on you accidentally. She sometimes gets out of control." he explains, and my eyes widen. "Is it a bad game?" I ask, worriedly but he quickly shakes his head. "It's really fun, Diana just had a bad experience playing once and has hated it since." he replies simply, and I nod my head i
"What if I want to explore with you? Would you be willing?" I asked Ryker, a few nights after our conversation. So far all was going good with him and although I didn't know him for long, every part of me felt that I could trust him... and the feeling I got every time even the slightest touch was made between us, it gave me feelings I had never experienced before. "Of course, but I want you to make sure you want that and most importantly, are ready for that." he replies sitting next to me on the bed. "I understand and I hope you understand when I say I'm sure I'm ready and want this." I reply, sucking in a sharp breath as his eyes widen. "Autumn, you barely know me, I don't want you to rush this." he tells me. "I know, Ryker, but I don't want to waste another minute doubting it. I want to experience it and I want to do it now and I want that to be what floods my dreams at night. Not these terrible nightmares." I explain, pleadingly, making him inhale deeply. "Alright." he caves,
As I wake up and stretch, I notice Ryker is no longer in the bed. After he had explained to me last night what a squirter was, we had some more fun before curling up together and falling asleep. I still couldn't believe we had sex last night and it had felt soo good. More than I could have ever imagined. Ryker was definitely the most amazing man I had ever met. I climb out of the bed, and groan at the slight soreness from last night. I grab the shirt Ryker had given me and pull it on, along with my panties and a bra before making my way out into the hallway. "Ryker?" I call. I hear nothing in return and decide to look around for him. As I start to make my way down the hallway, I suddenly hear a deep aggressive voice behind me. "Sorry darling, I guess you didn't get the memo. Slaves stay in the rooms they are put in, unless told otherwise." it says. I turn around to see a taller slightly thinner man with tan skin, snow white hair and silver eyes. "I'm sorry sir, I am not a slave."
"A human, special to a vampire? Let alone the vampire king. Ridiculous." Rayne mutters, as he rolls his eyes in disbelief. "You don't need to be a prick, Rayne. Let's not forget she may not even be human now why don't you get me that information? Ryker replies, rolling his eyes. "I can tell just by looking at her she is not fae." Rayne retorts and Ryker growls at him. "I am asking you to check, now check. Despite what you may think we both know deep down she must have SOMETHING in her and fae, is the highest possibility." Ryker hisses and Rayne lets out a huff. "You are lucky, you are my friend. I will see you in a few days." Rayne comments, before turning on his heel and walking away. "I don't think he likes me very much." I mention after a few minutes. "Rayne, can be an ass at times. Just try not to take it personally, okay? He doesn't know you like I do. You're the most innocent girl I have ever met. I don't think you have a single bad bone in your body." Ryker tells me with a
