Last night was one of the best sleeps I ever had. The warmth of the blanket made me sleep like a baby. I stand up stretching while walking over to Octavian. "Majesty. It's time to get up." He mumbles for a second while turning his back towards me.

I sigh in annoyance and walk to the other side of the bed. "Come on majesty, please get up." He curses under his breathe while sitting up rubbing the sleep out his eyes. "Good morning", he says. "Morning majesty",

His fangs stick out a little as he yawns. "Why did you wake me up so early slave?" "Um majesty it's twelve o clock." His eyes widen as he throws his covers off of him. He slips on some slacks and a white dressy shirt.

"Put these on." I look at the clothes he throws me with a look that says "is he serious?" "Just put them on we over slept and don't have time!" I hurry and put on slacks and a fancy white shirt. "Why do I look so similar to your outfit?"

"It's a slave show. Now come on!" He pulls me by my arm and we head to a car. I get and we speed to this huge building. "Majesty." A man opens the door for him and bows his head. I step out and follow behind him. "Aw Octavian what a slave you have."

"Thanks I didn't even have to pay a single penny for my slave." I look behind the man and see a girl about my age. She looks used to this.

"This is my slave Anna", the man introduces her. Octavian nods while saying "this is my slave um"- "Rose", I finish for him. "You let your slave talk to you that way?" "Octavian pushes me against the wall making everyone turn towards us.

"Bad slave!" He turns around and takes a wine glass and slams it out my head. I wince at the impact. My eyes start to water and a tear falls down my cheek. "Woah majesty you have very good control on the human."

After the show we head back to the palace. I'm silent the whole ride as Octavian talks to the driver. Tears still slip down my cheeks as I look out the window.

We arrive and I get out of the car  heading towards the door. I go straight to the room and throw off my shoes. I undress and put on my leggings and a shirt I borrowed from
Octavian.

I curl up in my corner with the cover he gave me wrapped around me. "Rose?" I don't answer and I squeeze my eyes shut. "You have to get up so I can get the glass out of your forehead." I sit up and he holds out a hand for me to grab.

I take his hand and he helps me stand up. We walk to the bathroom and he picks me up and sets me on the counter. He takes tweezers and picks the little pieces of glass. He cleans it with alcohol and puts a bandaid on it. "There."

I jump of the counter passing him and going back to my spot pulling the covers on me. I hear the door being locked and I turn over to see what he's doing. He picks me up and lays me on his bed.

"I've noticed that everyone at the show knew information about there slave but me. So your going to tell me everything"

I stare at him with a blank facial expressions. "There's nothing to know about me. That's why you know nothing."

"Tell me now or I will make you clean the fences again." I groan and I sit in Indian style. "Fine. My real name is Rosalie but I hate it. So I prefer Rose. I'm seventeen years old. My mother left me because I was a mistake. My fathers been abusing me since the age six.

Everyday I was beat till the point I thought my life was going to end. I don't have any friends and probably won't ever have any. At one point in my life I had to work just so me and my dad could live in a house. I paid bills and did other things. I never did any of those teen things". I shrug and look at him.

"Is there anything else you would like to know?" "What did you eat?" "Nothing most of the food was only enough for one and it went towards my dad.

The only time I ate is when I got to keep a little cash for me for school. I'm used to when you hit me but your just ten times scarier then my father.

When you slammed that wine glass on my head it reminded just how my father used to slam his beer bottles on my head."

He just sits there starring across the room. I head over to my spot and let my sleepiness takeover.

****

I wake up panting and sweating hard. "Bad idea to talk about the past before going to bed", I think. I couldn't go back to sleep. I cried all night thinking of the dream.

I just hope I didn't wake him up. I listen to the wind whistling outside. The cold breeze coming into the window.

***

I was up the whole night. I watch as Octavian steps out of bed yawning. He taps me and I roll over to look at him. "Have you been crying?" "Maybe." He goes and brushes his teeth and I do the same with a new toothbrush.

"Follow me", he says. I follow him to the kitchen to already made food. He grabs a plate and sits down on a stool. I sit on the stool across from him. "What are my chores for today?"

"To eat." "Eat", I say confused. He pushes the plate of pancakes with eggs towards me. I take the fork and start chewing the food. I put the fork down to finish chewing it.

Octavian picks the fork up and eats off of it. "Would you like me to grab you a fork?" "Nope", he smirks he hands me the fork back and I pick up some more pancakes stuffing it into my mouth.

"You eat like a pig", he chuckles. I glare at him and keep chewing. "Thank you", I say as I push the plate towards him so he can finish what's left. After eating we head towards his office.

"I want you to hang with me today. There's a book shelf over there if you would like to read."

"To be a honest person. I really don't like reading. So I will just sit here." "What do you like then?" I think for a moment. "I like to draw." He nods and hands me pencil and paper I start drawing stuff that come to my mind.

"Majesty? Do you have a girlfriend? I know it's a random question but I just wanted to make conversation."

He chuckles while shaking his head. "I had a girlfriend but I dumped her since she cheated. I'm still trying to find true love. My queen. I nod my head and continue to draw.

***

Hours of being in his office I feel asleep. My head leaned on his shoulder as he continued to work. "Rose get up!" My eyes shoot open and I look around. "Hunters are lose in the palace trying to attack!"

He pulls a gun out of his drawer and keeps me close to his chest. A hunter steps out and Octavian kills him right away.

After dodging all the vampire hunters we think the coast is clear. A hunter comes out from no were with a wooden stake. I scream in pain as it goes through my back puncturing my stomach, missing Octavian.

Octavian kills the hunter looks at me
In disbelief. "Majesty?" I say confusingly as I can't describe the pain. I fall to the ground my vision getting blurry and blood starts to come out of my mouth.

"Rose!" Was the last thing I heard when Octavian dropped to the ground picking me up bridal style with a long wooden stake in my back. "Stay with me goddammit!"
