Chapter 4: Chapter 4

I was seated in my studio, sketching. I had run away from my room because of my mom, who had promised to bring me a pet. The door to the studio opened and I frowned. How did she find me out?"

She popped her head in. "I knew you I will be here". I turned to face her

"Mom, what are you doing here?". She ignored my question and walked in fully. I sniffed the air. There's a human here. "Who did you...."

Mom walked closer to me. I noticed someone trailed behind her, looking so fragile and yet beautiful. Her little face was puffy from so many sleepless nights. Don't tell me this is my pet!

"Damien, here is your new pet. Just make sure you don't kill her as you do to others" mom said

She stared at me in fear and I smirked. "I won't if she doesn't get me angry".

Mom stared at me in shock. "Is that even possible"

I ignored her question. "Why does she look fragile?"

Mom ignored my question and turned in her direction. "Elmira, he's your new lord. Satisfy him well as you promised and your sister will be safe"

My eyes widen. Did mom just say, Elmira?. That name sounds so familiar but I can't remember where I heard it from.

"What if he kills me as he does to the rest?" Elmira asked in a whisper

I smirked. I love that. Mom turned to me. "As I've said before, you can't kill her. You can only punish her"

I found myself nodding. Mom smiled and I groaned. Did I just promise not to kill her?. "She can go with you"

Mom walked towards the door. "She's your Damien. She stays with you" she walked out and locked the door behind her. I hissed.

I stood up and walked towards her. There's something about her that seems strange. I sniffed her and she froze. Her scent smells like ... I think have perceived this scent before. I placed my hand on her hair and raised it slowly. I sniffed it. I moved her hair to the side and sniffed her neck. I felt attracted to her and my fangs began to grow. I placed my fangs on her neck and pressed it against her neck and she whined.

I was tempted to bite her, to suck her blood but I quickly retrain myself. I moved backward quickly.  What's wrong with me?!!. "Hey, you. Get out and never return!!" I yelled. She ran out in fear and I groaned. Did I almost drink from her?. I can't let that happen. I need to reject her.

I stomped out of the room. There isn't any way I'm going to accept her as my pet, never!!

Mom stared at me. "What are you saying, Damien?"

"I can't take her as my pet"

"Why can't you?"

"Nothing. I told you I don't want a pet"

"Damien, you have to take her as your pet"

"I'll take someone else, not her"

Mom chuckled. "You can't resist her beauty?"

I groaned. "That is not the point mother. It isn't like she is as cute as my last pet"

Mom smiled. "You are so fast in comparing both"

I ignore her teasing. "I can't take her, mom"

"Why?"

"I just don't want her. Don't you get it? I don't like her"

"You've never liked any of your pets. I don't expect hers to be an exception"

I furrowed my brows. "So what are you saying?"

"That you take her as your pet and that's finally"

Why can't she understand that I don't want her?. I dashed out of her room and bumped into someone in the process. She landed on her butt and whimpered. I stared at her and she looked so frightened. I guess it's due to the color of my eyes. "Yo... You" she stuttered vigorously

I stared at her. Wait, her face looks familiar. Why does her face look like that of the little girl trying to flirt with me the other day?. "Amaya" someone called from behind. I raised my head to see my pet. She rushed towards us and held her sister, I guess.  "Are you ok? Did he hurt you?"

"No... No"

I stared at them in shock. Now I know why her scent is familiar and her name too. She's the rude girl that walked out on me the other day. I smirked. "Good to see you again, Amaya"

I made to touch her but my pet blocked me. I stared at her. Really? Is she trying to be rude to me again?. "You can do whatever you want to me but don't hurt her"

I stood up, trying to hide my anger. "Take your sister back to her room. And meet me at my studio"

"Yes". I glared at her. "Yes... Yes my lord"

I walked out on them. I'll make sure I punish her and teach her to respect me!!

**

The door to my studio opened and she walked in. This time, she was with her black veil, covering half of her face. "You dare come into my studio without a knock?" I thundered

I was expecting her to flinch or tremble but she only stared at me. I stared at her in surprise but quickly conceal it. "Now listen and listen carefully, you don't come anywhere near me or my surroundings except you're been summoned. You don't look me in the eyes. You don't talk back at me. Don't talk except I ask you. Do you understand?"

She nodded. "You don't nod when I talk to you!!" I yelled.

"Yes my lord"

I groaned. This girl is trying my patience. I don't know why mom won't let me kill her like the rest!!. "Now pull off that veil"

"I was permitted to use it"

"By who?"

"Your mother, my lord"

I hissed. Did mom permit her without my permission?. "Pull it off now!!"

"I'm so sorry my lord. I only answer your mother"

My eyes switched. D... Di... Did she just tell me that?. "Are you talking to me?"

"I can see we are done talking here. I'll take my leave my lord" she walked out on me, leaving me dumbfounded

"Mira!!, Elmira!!" I called

Someone touched me, jolting me back to reality. It's just my imagination!!. I rolled my eyes. Mom was smiling. "Don't tell me you're already daydreaming about her?"

I groaned. "I don't want her mother"

"You've got no option"

"Mo...."

She left the studio and I groaned. How long have I been daydreaming?. The door opened and mom popped her head in. "Less I forget, she's permitted to use her veil"

My eyes switched. "You can't do that!!"

"Sorry, I already did"

I rolled my eyes when the door was closed. Why will mom do such a thing?. I heard a knock on the door. "Who is that?"

"Elmira"

I groaned but said nothing. I waited for a while to see if she will walk in just like the dream but she didn't. I had to summon her in. The door opened slowly, and she walked in, with a veil covering her face and.... wait!! I blinked my eyes rapidly. It seems my dream is about to come true.
