Pets, not Slaves
Vampires will never hurt you (By MCR)
Chapter 6
I walk to the infirmary to find the boy talking to the girl, Mariah. Who is now awake.
"Stop bringing me food and start eating yourself. Your going to starve to death, Lex." She says, shoving a paper towel with some pancakes and a grilled cheese in it towards the boy, Lex she called him.
"No, because your going to pretend your unconscious still when they come and stay here as long as you can. I don't want you around any more leeches. And don't call me Lex. I mean it. I'll let the blood suckers kill you if you do it again." He commands, handing her back the food.
"One more day. Other wise they'll just drain the rest of the blood I have and get rid of me." She says. The boy groans in protest but doesn't argue.
"You have clothes this time." She comments, eating the grilled cheese.
"They're so tight I can barely move, but it's a plus. I've only seen one other slave, and she had shorts and a tank top on."
"How do you know she was human?" Mariah asks, taking a sip from the Orange juice.
"She's short. Ever seen a short vampire? She's nice. Red hair and really pale. If your allowed you should stick with her." He says, stealing a bit of the grilled cheese. I can't help but laugh, and that's when they notice I'm here. The boy jumps up, shaking a little realizing I'm here.
"That's my sister. She's human since she's 16, but turning 17 soon so she'll be a vampire."
"She's your sister!? But she's short!?" He cries, clearly frustrated about hanging out with a soon-to-be vampire all day. Vampires are human until they turn 17, and that's when they start aging slower. Humans age 10X faster than vampires, so no, we aren't immortal.
"I'm happy your awake." I say to Mariah. She nods before mouthing 'who?' To the boy.
"Bloody vampire King. The blood sucker I'm stuck serving." He whispers, not realizing I can hear. Another thing about vampires, we aren't super heroes. We're slightly stronger, and our senses are stronger, but we don't have super powers.
"Leech, then blood sucker. What other names do you have for my kind?" I ask, my voice not kind nor harsh.
"Whole list. Vulture is my favorite." He says, his voice harsh. Mariah grabs his hand, tugging his arm.
"Are you suicidal!?" She hisses.
"Don't answer that." She adds.
"Vulture? I get blood sucker and leech, but why vulture?" I ask. The boy opens his mouth to talk, but the girl slaps him.
"Alexander Gaskarth, shut your mouth before you get us both killed." She hisses.
"No no, it's quite alright." I smile at her. Alexander steps in front of her.
"Tearing and eating the flesh of living people and sucking the blood of humans? Sounds like a vulture." He says, not moving away from Mariah, but she shoves him out of the way.
"Woah woah woah. Humans eat animals to survive, we have a have at least a little human blood in our system so our heart doesn't stop. Who said anything about eating flesh. Most of the time we let you live." I ask, puzzled.
"Wait you don't? What? We've seen it happen." Mariah asks.
"No! Are you nuts! I understand it's painful-"
"Excruciating" Alexander interrupts, earning a punch from Mariah.
"Excruciating, but we let you live. Well, most do. That's unusual. Most don't humans. It's a waste of resources." I say.
"Doesn't matter. A blood sucker is a blood sucker." Alexander mumbles.
"I can hear yoooou." I sing, before turning to leave.
"Wait, where are you going?" Alexander asks, sounding panicked.
"Gotta catch up on some things. You can stay here." I say, walking out the door to find my sister.

Notes
My moms boyfriend is a friend of Bob Becker, owner of fearless records. So I got to go to the meet in greet, which meant I was right up by the baracade for the concert. And it gets better. I got to go to the after party, where I hung out with Tony Perry. I was so calm about it, he introduced himself. When I laughed and told him I know who he is he commented "wow you're really calm, I just assumed you only came to see Sleeping With Sirens."
THIS IS NOT A JOKE IMM LOOSING MY SHIT JUST THINKING ABOUT IT
And also, I caught a Beartooth pick. Well, dove for it and got it before anyone realized they threw one. And Jaime mother fucking Preciado Looked at me, smiled, and threw a pick to me. KIt landed outside the baracade, so the security guard handed it to me.
I'm glad to know this story's gonna go on :) I know authors have their own busy lives as well so, thank you!
