Pets, not Slaves
The Beginning of Something Terrible
Chapter 12
When I come back, I see someone has entered the circle of people.
"Hey! I said not to touch him!" I yell, running into the circle.
The demon king is gently stroking Alex's face. Years ago my older brother fell in love with a demon, and it convinced him to let it posses his body to rule the demons, since a vampire demon would be very powerful. Demons don't have a gender, but since it's in my brothers body, it goes by he.
"Ah, look who it is." He laughs.
"Get lost." I snap, folding my arms in front of my chest.
"How did you get this slave?" He asks, continuing to stroke Alex's face. I move forward but stop when he pulls Alex towards him by his hair. Alex screams.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Be civilized for once, Jack." He laughs.
"If I'm not mistaken, this one has my brand." He says, tilting Alex's head so that the skull and cross bones on his neck show.
"Yes. He was your slave at one point. Now give him back." I sigh, annoyed this is taking so long. I notice the room is completely silent, everyone is watching the two of us.
"Stolen property? Really? Are you that low?" He asks, playing with his hair now.
"He was stolen by someone else. We got him from the street slave trade." I say. Whispers pass through the crowd of people.
"I don't believe you." He snarls.
"Ask him." I say. The demon king tilts Alex's head up, but since he still has the vibrator in he's shaking too much to look straight.
"Is that true?" He asks, not letting go of his chin.
"You'd be much happier serving me, Y'know. I might not be too great, but it's better than serving something that sees you as food." He says to Alex, dropping his chin. His knees start to shake and he falls, but the demon king catches him. Alex looks at me, obviously deciding what to say.
"Mariah" I say, finally able to look him in the eye. He looks angry, but looks back up at the demon king.
"That is correct. My friend and I were taken from the fields many years before I was forced to serve the vampires." He pants.
Forced. That word hurts, but I try to ignore that.
The demon king looks annoyed and shoves Alex to his feet. He falls in a crumpled heap and tries to move, but the demon king steps on him. I hear Alex whimper, and it's absolutely torture.
"Hey!" I yell, moving forward.
"Too attached. What did I tell you. I don't think you're fit to rule a kingdom." The demon king challenges. A murmur passes through the crowd once again. I start to panic. What do I do!?
"How dare you question my authority." I bellow. Everyone stops talking again.
"That is my property you're mistreating. I don't care if it's a slave, money, or my whole damn kingdom. I don't want you near anything that is mine." I growl.
"Oh, is this about the blond slave? Because I honestly didn't know he was yours. I thought he was just some... Oh, does everyone see that? Fangs." The demon king laughs. I touch my mouth realizing my teeth came out. They aren't cute little fangs like in movies. Your entire jaw shifts allowing two inch teeth come through, replacing the normal ones. And it isn't just two teeth, it's all of them except the back teeth. It isn't painful, and it only happens when vampires get really angry. You can't help it or make it happen, it's like crying. You can't exactly make yourself cry, and you can't make your fangs come out. Sometimes you just can't hold the tears back, and same with the fangs.
"He's a human lover!? He isn't fit to be a king. He belongs at our feet with the humans!" He yells.
"I will admit, that was my favorite slave. Only had one marking, and that was mine. Humans are pets to me, like a dog. Your sad when a dog dies, but then you just get a new one. And watching my pet get stepped on irritates me, but saying I'm not fit to rule my people, and that I belong with the humans? That is enough, so pardon the fangs." I growl. It's a little hard to talk since I'm not used to my teeth being like this.
"I'm not a filthy human lover. I see them as animals instead of objects, but dogs belong at our feet just like humans. And you know damn well what this is about." I yell. He just chuckles.
"Oh, your brother. He willingly gave me his body, so that-"
"SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH,CROWLEY!!" I yell. I feel the foam start to drip down my mouth. Fags ooze white foam, which is quite a pain in the ass. I wipe my mouth on my sleeve. The taste is disgusting.
"It's not my fault your brother abandoned you and your sister inst-"
He can't get another word out, because I tackle him to the ground, making sure I didn't accidentally hit Alex. I slice his arm with my fangs but he quickly rolls on top of me and starts scratching and beating my face.
"NO FIGHTING ALLOWED! STAND UP AND BEHAVE BEFORE I KICK YOU OUT!" I hear Milla yell. Crowley gets off of me and I rise to my feet, but don't help Alex up. If they already think I'm not fit to rule my kingdom,
I watch as the demon king whispers something in Milla's ear.
"Please help escort Jack and his slave to Crowley's car." She sings, using her siren voice. Only a few creatures are resistant to it, but they know better than to try to stop her from getting her way.
Everyone pushes Alex and me to the car, where Crowley cuffs and blind folds me, and shoves Alex in the backseat between two demons.
No one is going to try and stop them. I'm defenseless. Alex could die, my kingdom could fall, my family could die, and it would be my fault.

"Get lost." I snap, folding my arms in front of my chest.
