1. Escape
Olivia’s POV
“Olivia, you have to make everything perfect for today. We have special guests that will be arriving in the evening. There should be no mistakes or else you will be punished. You remember what happened the last time, don’t you.”
“Yes mam.” I shivered remembering the last time and the pain it left me.
“Good. Now off to work.”
She sauntered out of the kitchen and I gritted my teeth to keep the thoughts of strangling her away. So, let me introduce myself. I am Olivia McKenna, 17 years old with waist length brown hair and hazel eyes. I am an orphan and currently I am in my foster home. Yes, these people are my foster parents but they treat me like a maid and take out their anger on me whenever they feel like it. I have scares and bruises to prove it. Don’t think I am stupid and I haven’t thought about escaping or something because I have but the problem is these people are filthy rich and that means guards all around the house. They don’t even let me talk to anyone and I have a curfew past which I can’t even come out of my room. I tried at the beginning to come out but was punished so I learned my lesson. I thought of telling child care services about the abuse but I saw their head at the house receiving a big ass donation from my foster parents so I knew this wasn’t an option. I am not submissive and accepted my fate if that’s what you are thinking it’s just I am not stupid. I don’t want to risk losing their trust in me and close off all the routes of my escape.
Today is the day I will finally be free from this hell hole. I have been planning for this day for months now. Everything is in order and hopefully the plan will go smoothly if not I am so dead but I have to take that chance. I know what kind of guests are coming today. They are coming to buy me. I am no idiot and I have learned to keep my ears open and head bowed so they won’t ever suspect me. To them I am the naïve Olivia who quietly follows everyone’s orders.
I poured the sleeping potion into the food which I acquired a few months back. It’s not strong but will knock them out for a few hours - enough for me to escape. I prepared everything before going back to my room and started packing the little things I have.
Now, I just have to wait.
The sound of clock striking 12 brought a smile to my face. It is finally time!! Without wasting another second I jumped out of my bed and made my way downstairs carefully listening for any sounds, there were none. I made out of the door and just as I suspected all the guards were sleeping. I quickly made out of the gate and started sprinting towards the woods. They will find me in the city so I will make my way through the woods.
I entered the woods and smiled to myself at prospect of starting a new life without all of their bullshit.

2. First Encounter
Damien’s POV
Emptiness
Loneliness
Silence
These are the things I have known for a century now. I have been alone for as long as I can remember. There is no one to share my thoughts and my pain with. There is no one to welcome me home with a smile on her face. I can’t even remember the last time I smiled. Every day the feeling of hopelessness keeps increasing taking me down with it to the depths of an endless ocean of insanity. Sometimes I just want to lose control and give in to the blood lust but then a part of me wants to wait for something as if it knows that something big is going to happen soon and after being alive for centuries now I know better to trust my instincts. I want someone to be there with me, someone who sees the person that I am and not the blood thirsty monster.
Suddenly, the air shifted and I felt an unfamiliar presence on my territory. This was not the wolves or any other animals. I lifted my nose and smelled the air, the smell of blood drifted through my nose. Definitely a mortal.
But what was a mortal doing this deep in the forest? I furrowed my brows in thought.
I made my home so deep in the forest that the mortals were never able to reach it and if they tried they ended up getting lost.
“Sir. Sir. There is a girl walking around the house. It looks as if she is hurt.” My help Vasco came running. “Don’t worry Vasco she will pass by. Nobody wants to come to this old mansion for the fear of it being haunted. Just prepare the dinner for tonight.”
“Yes master.”
Hmm… what is that girl doing so close to my house and why was she injured? Should I go check on her?
Why was I even thinking about her?
As I was lost in my thoughts there was a knock on my door and my head shot up. I began contemplating whether to open it or not for I already knew who was behind it. The knocks became more frantic and I could smell the fear coming off of her. I could hear her heart racing wildly and the blood pumping through her veins. Vasco was standing there looking towards the door, no doubt thinking the same thing as me. Finally, curiosity got the best of me and I went to open the door. When I opened the door the next thing that happened shocked me.

3. Lost Control
Damien’s POV
The girl that entered my territory stood in front of me shivering and breathing hard as if she has been running. She was looking at me with fear filled wide hazel colored eyes.
“Help… me…” She whispered in a hoarse and broken voice.
The next thing I know she was falling to the ground. I quickly gathered her in my arms and called Mary, Vasco’s beloved.
What the hell? Did she just faint on me? Urghh... Now I have to take care of her.
I looked at her and noticed various cuts and her bleeding ankle. I could feel my fangs coming out at the familiar smell of blood . My inner beast perked up ready to sink his fangs in her pretty little neck.
Hmm... So sweet, I could just drain her dry. What would she taste like? I felt myself leaning closer to her neck and stopped myself. I closed my eyes and shook my head to clear the thoughts that were running through my mind.
No Damien- focus- you can’t lose control.
Mary came rushing and bowed to me. She looked at the unconscious figure in my arms with question.
“You called master.”
“Mary, please take her to the guest room and tend to her injuries.”
“Yes master.”
She took the girl from my arms and in flash she went to the room.
Well looks like I have to eat. I almost lost control today. But why was that? I am the oldest vampire alive and I have mastered my blood lust centuries ago. How can one little girl make me lose control on myself and what the hell was she doing so deep in the forest. Doesn’t she know how dangerous it is? What if something happened to her?
Oh hell…. Why am I even worrying about her? I think it’s my hunger. I am going insane.
With that I stepped out of my door and let the excitement of the future hunt course through my veins. My senses sharpened and I took off into the night.

4. Waking Up
Olivia’s POV
The first thing I noticed when I came to was that I was lying on an extremely soft surface. I snuggled into the pillow and sighed happily. Hmm…. This must be how heaven feels like. If that is so I don’t even mind dying. I just want to keep sleeping here and never wake up especially not after being chased by stupid wolves. Wait a minute….. THE WOLVES???
I shot up from my position and took in the unfamiliar and might I say really beautiful room I was in. I was breathing deeply.
What the hell!! What happened? Where was I?? How did I get here?? Did someone kidnap me?? Or worse, did I sleepwalk to someone’s house and sleep on their bed?? Because that would be embarrassing and what would I say “hey sorry for barging in late last night. I hope I didn’t disturb you.” Yeahh… I don’t think so. Think Olivia think. What happened?
And then it all came back. The wolves, the chase, me tumbling down the hill, the creepy house, me knocking like there is no tomorrow, the sexy Greek god and then me asking for help before everything went black.
Ooooo….. So, I didn’t sleepwalk. Well damn!!! It would have been interesting. Oh well… I shrugged and got off the bed, that’s when I noticed the white sleeping gown I was wearing also my ankle has been wrapped up.
Well well well….. What do you know? Mr. Greek god is a creepy pervert. A knock sounded at my door.
“Come in.”
Mr. Creepy pervert Greek god dude entered with an expressionless face. Ah han… yeah pretend like nothing happened you little crazy horseshit.
He kept staring at me and I was beginning to feel uncomfortable so I being the awkward potato I am asked the most random thing “What shampoo do you use?”
“What?”
“You know your hair is beautiful.”
He raised an eyebrow and said “Yeah... Whatever. I just came here to check on you and also breakfast is ready. Come down when you are ready.” He turned his back on me to leave.
“You know changing girls when they are unconscious ... not cool
