Chapter 9 Episode Nine

EPISODE NINE

Mia's POV

Sometime later, Zoe began to cry of hunger. I was also farmished but Felicia said they won't bring in food until Dracula ordered them to serve the prisoners. This is absolute wickedness! How can they starve people who are very important to them! They can't survive without us!

I clenched my fist in anger, they need our blood to exist so they should adore us like gods! I moved over to Zoe to beg her but it wasn't working on her. All she wanted was food and I was going crazy in this place!

"Hello bloodsuckers! There is a young girl in here who needs food!" I screamed at the top of my voice.

The door busted open as some guards walked in with trays in their hands.

"Who called us bloodsuckers?!" One of the guards asked.

"I did," I answered before other women pointed to my cell.

His eyes did a slow crawl in me. "We are called vampires!" He growled out.

"I choose bloodsuckers because you feed on blood!" I spat angrily. He gestured to the other guards to start distributing hamburgers to the prisoners.

"What gut do you have to speak up with such confidence?!" Another guard growled.

"I am a human! This is America and I know my right as a citizen! Just wait till the government catches up with you!" I gritted

He laughed out. "Did you say government?" He asked. "Hey guys! She just said government will catch up with us!" The other guards laughed too.

His laughter turned sour. "Government doesn't have a say in this Imperial!" He snarled at me.

"Let me have a burger, this child is hungry.." I said to him.

"Sure your inmates will all get food but you won't be getting any." The guard said.

"You call hamburger food?" I snorted. "This is called dessert.." I corrected him. "You should know what a full meal is..." He opened the cell gate and stood in front of me.

He became angry when he realized his presence didn't intimidate me the way it should. I am scared as shit but I won't show it.

"You should be happy the Emperor is nice enough to offer you burger. So watch what you say!" I slapped his hand away when he tried to touch my cheeks.

"Master Dracula here!" Someone announced.

"You can tell master Dracula everything you just said to us bloodsuckers." He smiled before stepping out of the cell.

"What is happening Joseph?" I heard his voice.

Tension rolled through my body when I heard footsteps approaching. Everywhere suddenly became silent at his presence.

"Everything is fine..except that we have a stubborn human in this cell." Joseph pointed at me.

Dracula looked at me. "You're awake my lady," He said softly but his eyes looked wild and dangerous.

I remembered him from the night he killed Draco and how he had bitten my neck in an attempt to get rid of me. I wondered why and what he did that made my wound heal completely and the mark faded but I didn't turn to a vampire.

"Good to see you alive." Dracula said.

And then I noticed who was standing behind him. A woman who was completely naked, his pet! As if that wasn't bad enough, the asshole actually held a leash attached to the collar around her neck. I thought of just slamming my fist in his face.

"My blood did a good job at healing you." Dracula smirked.

What?! He fed me with his blood?! Oh my God! I have a bloodsucking animal blood in my veins! I became irritated that I felt bile rose up in my throat and all I wanted to do was throw up. His blood had saved me from dying.

"Master Dracula, she complained about the food." Joseph told him everything I said to him.

Dracula pupil dilated as he suddenly appeared in front of me like a flash light. Dracula grabbed my neck almost choking me to death and I struggled for my release. "You should be happy I let you live!" He seethed his teeth in anger.

Tears formed at the corners of my eyes. "The fact that I fed you with my blood doesn't mean I can't end your miserable life right away! But I am not going to do that...so you should be glad you are alive! You ungrateful wretch!"

I coughed out as soon as he released me. No doubt I would have a bruise there as my throat burned deeply.

Dracula continued with a smirk. "Human aren't regarded in this world." He spat out.

I coughed. "It..it..doesn't make any sense.." I said shakily.

Felicia signaled to me to keep quiet but I ignored her. We can't let them treat us like this! Sooner or later someone who will bail us will come but when will that be?!

"Why do you choose to treat us like this?" I looked at with an angry expression on my face.

"Your kind betrayed us and sold us out to our greatest enemies!" He spat angrily. "So don't you dare question my authority!" He covered the inch between us and carressed my cheeks with his knuckles.

I slapped his hands away. "It..still doesn't add up..." I stammered.

He made a hit for my face. "Don't you dare question a vampire authority especially the Emperor's!"

He covered the gap between us and grazed my bruised cheeks with his knuckles. "Do you want to know what I have in mind towards you? Well I planned to keep you as my personal food source." I stepped backward to avoid his touch. "No food source can't be enough for me, I can as well keep you as a pet at the meeting with the high council." He laughed wickedly.

What?! He planned to keep as a pet?! My heartbeat against my chest at the imagination of me walking around naked like this woman.

I was angry at his decision. "You are a perverted fucker!" I replied defensively.

Dracula is a disgusting pig for treating this poor woman like an animal and keeping her as his personal sex toy is reprehensible.

Dracula laughed. "You still sound sexy whenever you say fucking words." He sniffed my neck. "You tasted so good and I can't wait to break you to obey my rules like I did to the others."

"You will never have me!" I pushed his chest.

"You have got confidence and I also like stubborn humans too. I have dealt with your likes and some of them ended up dying in my arms." He smirked.

He stepped away from me and went to Natalie who had fear in her expression.

"The practice of human pet ownership was established hundreds of years ago and all vampires indulged in the behaviors. It was never my choice but it is an established tradition in this Imperial, the emperor established it and we all embraced it." He laughed wickedly as he sniffed Sophia now.

"Tradition? No! appalling is what it is! And it needs to stop!" I stared at him in shock.

He pushed Sophia away aggressively and looked at me, anger rolled over his features. "You don't understand our tradition!"

"I don't have to understand any tradition to know it is wrong! Everything about this place is wrong!" I responded tearfully.

"If that is what you think of this world." Dracula walked out of the cell.

"That' is enough Mia! You shouldn't talk back at him." Felicia cautioned me in fear.

"Mia? Is that your name?" He asked.

I shook my head. "Yes, my name is Mia Greeen." I said.

"Joseph, I think we need to teach Mia how to stay quiet in our world." Dracula said with a deep frown.

"Yes..master Dracula." Joseph replied.

He gave me a devious grin. "I want her..." He said.

My heartbeat rapidly. What is he gonna do to me?! I pondered

"Step out of your cell.." he commanded.

I made no attempt to move away from my spot. Instead I shook my head. "Obey him.. Mia." Sophia pleaded.

My panic rises..oh God what do I do? My breathing quickened.
