Prey

Chapter 2

I didn't even have time to really process what had just happened.

The next thing I knew, I was at the front of the store, watching as my new master handed the pet mistress the proper amount of money.

I was honestly still a bit stunned from everything that was happening.

Such a crucial moment of my life and it was already happening.

My stomach turned a bit as I forced myself to accept these changes.

Something told me I wasn't really going to have a choice anyway.

I've had many daydreams about how this day would go throughout my life, yet I never imagined myself being this scared.

Maybe it was the fear from the rest of the girls in here rubbing off on me or the fact that I couldn't quite get a grip on the vampire who just purchased me.

I rubbed nervously at my freed wrists.

"Thank you for shopping with us and I hope you enjoy your purchase." My pet Mistress said, handing my new master the file that contained my records.

I swallowed hard, trying not to succumb to my fear this soon.

I was his now.

Master had said something back to her but I missed it, instead being snapped out of my thought as soon as he started walking out.

My head instinctively turned back to my pet Mistress, in some last-ditch effort for some kind of comfort or reassurance but got nothing.

Not even a glance goodbye.

And for some reason that caused a tinge of pain in my chest.

My life up to this point was gone just like that and I didn't even have time to stop and catch my breath.

I squinted as the sun came into view, the two brothers chatting in front of me as I stayed a few steps back.

And then I became insanely aware of my lack of covering clothing, and the stares of the vampires that we passed.

I took in a deep breath, trying to calm my racing nerves.

There was nothing I could do at this point, that much I understood.

Instead, I decided to shift my focus on the warmth of the sun on my skin and on my bare feet.

It wasn't long before we reached a limo, Nico getting in first, and me getting in last.

The inside was very spacious, one continuous, red leather seat surrounding the entire back area.

My eyes set on a girl that looked only a bit older than me sitting there, her hands clasped in her lap as she watched Nico sat beside her.

She must be his pet.

Xander sat across from his brother, telling me to sit across from the girl.

I didn't want to risk anything and followed his orders as fast as I could.

The boys continued talking as the limo set into motion.

I glanced over at the girl in front of me.

If she belongs to Nico and they're brothers, then they probably treat their pets the same right?

I checked for injuries, not finding any on the amount of her skin that was visible save for the numerous bite marks on the side of her neck, one of them looking fairly recent

I guess that was a good sign... Being bitten wasn't really avoidable as a pet, so that was fine.

I could deal with that.
