Theme: Destiny is a Bitch!

       🍎Cassidy's POV 🍎

It has been six days since I was brought into this world by a dangerous Vampire who has this strong desire to make me his food source and pet. I haven't set my eyes on Mikel since he left the torture room,although he had said we would meet at the High Council meeting but I wished we would never see again. I prayed to God to not let anyone in the High Council to pick me as a pet.

And if I was to choose out of being a Food source,Pet or Slave,I would opt in to work as a slave to the vampires. At least I wouldn't have to walk around naked or donate my blood to the Blood Factory.

We haven't heard about Zoe,I still feel guilty for what happened to her and I hoped that Mikel didn't kill her that day. Maya didn't come around to clean up my wound which made me feel dirty coupled with the fact that they didn't give us any chance of a good bathe or even good food. I haven't tasted anything good since I got here. Felicia complained that I looked thin and lean. I was extremely weak,cracked lips,pale skin and pains all over my body. I have been alone all my life,but I haven't experienced this sort of pain. 

Joseph came into the cell,selected me and Natalie with 8 other women from other cells to meet the High Council. We didn't even get the chance to say a proper goodbye to Felicia and Sophia before they led us out of the cell.

They led us to the chamber where our fates would be decided by the High Council. The guards opened up the door to a large neatly decorated room. We walked towards a group of couches where 7 men including Mikel appeared to be relaxed and drinking. I looked away when my eyes met Mikel's. Someone had said the High Council consisted of 7 men excluding the Emperor making a panel of 8 Wild and Dangerous Vampires.

From their casual demeanor, I hoped this meeting would not be as bad as my instinct kept warning me it was going to be. When we reached them,Mikel remained standing.

"Humans are here!" He announced. 

Their attention diverted to us and their expressions immediately transitioned into angry and displeasure - and then something flickered in their eyes...Hatred! This was going to be bad!

"Felix,Kelvin,Joshua, Daniel,Damon and Josiah.." Mikel acknowledged each man sitting on the couches. "Don't you need new pets or food sources?!"

"Of course!" They all laughed out.

"I fed my old pet to my Tiger last night!" One of the men indentified as Daniel said.

"Your tiger must have enjoyed eating up your pet!"

"Sweet meal!"

"So let the game begin!" Mikel clapped his hand. My heartbeat accelerated.

"I have my eyes on her!" I looked up to see one of the men point to Natalie who broke into tears Immediately.

Joseph picked her out and torn at her dress immediately. "You'll serve Master Kelvin from now on as his pet!"

My heart broke as the other men selected five more women respectively and they were undressed immediately leaving just four of us left.

"My lady didn't get picked.." Mikel said but I didn't look up at him. Hot tears burned down my cheeks as I knew I would have to undress as soon as he pick me as his pet. Oh God why me? No man has ever seen me naked!

"Who is your choice?" A new voice spoke up as he suddenly appeared in the room out of no where.

They all bowed to the man who just appeared then I knew his identity from the aura his presence created in the room. I zoned off as I took in his features.

Long hair packed in a manly bun, Beautiful silver eyes framed with dark Eyelashes, supertoned skin. His chest was bare,solid wall of muscles,veins protruding from his perfect skin,abs and lean hips. And here I am drooling over the wicked, Cruel and Heartless Emperor. Someone like him shouldn't have such great looks!

"You couldn't wait for me to come pick out my choice -" he said,taking his seat on one of the big couches in the room but this one looks like a throne.

"We know you don't keep pets Emperor!" Joshua said.

"What if I wanna change my mind?" The Emperor picked up a glass filled with blood.

"You have women ready to satisfy your desires!" Mikel laughed.

He said "You're doing a great job Mikel!" The Emperor stopped Midway as If he had smelled something from it.

"Can you smell something?"  He asked coldly and the men shook their heads.

He closed his eyes. "Something sweet and -" a deep frown creased his face when he reopened his eyes.

"Is there anyone with an open wound here?" He asked but no response came from anyone in the room.

I was scared! Fear gripped me at what would happen if he found out I have an open wound on my back. Would he feed on me and drain out my blood till I die?!

I tried to control my shaking body that I didn't realize the presence in front of me.

"So..it's you!" The Emperor said. 

Tears leaked from my face as I looked up at the silver eyes staring straight into mine. My heartbeat hard in my chest as I didn't miss the anger and hatred in his expression.

Oh God what have I done to deserve this unfair life?! No doubt I was born to know no happiness but sadness.

I avoided looking at him as this presence created a pit in my stomach and I could feel my kneel growing weak each seconds.

"Is everything okay Emperor?" Mikel asked.

"Yes..I think so.." the Emperor replied,his eyes still on me.

"I will make my choice now," Mikel said, excitement in his tone. 

I shuddered hard, knowing he was referring to his desire to make me his pet. My legs felt like blocks of wood as waited for him to say it.

 "Okay..." The Emperor walked back to his couch.

"I'm taking her as my pet!"

Silent sobs erupted from me when Mikel words echoed in the room. Joseph stepped closer to strip off my clothes

"She will never be degraded in such a manner and you will not fucking speak about her in that manner!"

I jumped in fear at the Emperor's sudden outburst. Was he referring to me?

"What's going on?"

"Why are you acting up?"

"You care about Humans now?"

"No! I don't fucking care about Humans!" The Emperor snarled. I dare not look up at him.

Mikel came closer. "I'm taking her.."

A sudden roar erupted in the room. "Take your fucking hands off her!"

Mikel released me and held his hand up. "Emperor calm down and tell us what's happening?!"

I didn't look up. I was confused as to why the Emperor was acting strange.

"Don't tell me to fucking calm down! She's mine! And I will fucking kill anyone who touches her!" He growled out.

As if my heart stopped beating for a second after the Emperor's words. 

"She's mine!" Gasps erupted in the room. Finally I looked up the Emperor who was up from his couch vibrating in fury his eyes bleeding crimson.

"The Emperor just found his mate!" Someone said.

"Is that it?!" Mikel asked.

The Emperor shrink lower in his couch,his gaze trained on me.

"That's it?! She's your mate!" Mikel spat angrily.

Mate? What the hell are they talking about?! How am I a mate to the Emperor?! He's a fucking Vampire and I am a Human!

Their eyes widened in shock. "This is impossible!"

"The Emperor can't be mated to a mere human!"

The Emperor repositioned himself as his eyes travelled over my body. I couldn't comprehend what they were saying!

Mikel positioned himself beside me. "So this is really it! You're mated to a Human I brought into this Imperial!"

"Yes!" The Emperor growled in frustration.

"Okay..okay..I guess things will change around here." Mikel went back to his couch.

"Nothing is going to change.." he replied.

"Then you can take her as your pet.." Mikel added.

Oh God no! I would rather die than be a pet to the meanest Vampire! 

The Emperor's pupil dilated. "No! She's my mate!" He yelled.

I became extremely weak that my kneels couldn't hold me anymore. Everything started spinning right in front of my eyes and the voices in the air became so distance.

Slowly I found myself slipping away but strong arms grabbed me because I didn't hit a hard surface.

"Get a healer!" The voice growled out.

And that was the last words I heard before I blacked out.

****************************

I  could hear unfamiliar voices in my subconscious state.

"I have no idea how she got the wounds on her back!" The voice was filled with concern.

"Humans are subjected to several punishment in our Imperial.."

"Will she be alright?"

"She needs your blood for full recovery.." someone said faintly.

"Well giving her my blood isn't the Problem. I am concerned about how to deal with her once she regains consciousness."

I could feel tears dropped down my cheeks as I made an attempt to adjust myself. The pains was unbearable! I couldn't open my eyes for unknown reasons.

"Do something.."

"Your blood..and she needs you too."

"Okay..okay.."

Someone held me close and whispered softly shushing sounds in my ears. I felt cold substance run down my throat - the taste was sour. 

"You'll be okay.." the voice murmured against my hair.

The substance burned my throat for a while before I felt my body calming down and  my sobs stopped abruptly.

"That's enough to heal her." Another voice said.

"Everything will be fine?" the voice muttered.

"Yes."

And soon my consciousness slipped away again.
