Selene brought the food to the table. "Stand, Charmaine," he said. He wanted to look him over. He stood, hands clasped in front of his body, a smile on his face. He was slightly nervous, hoping he was dressed how he expected.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rl4hAXVkL
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWh9NN2MN8
The vampire smirked and nodded, allowing him to sit down. Regardless of the smirk, his expression was cold and hardened towards Charmaine. The feeling in the room tensed.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQpm6T6trj
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2YI0mtFed
"Eat up. I'll overview the rules as you do so," he said with a gentle but strict tone. Charmaine nodded and started to eat, half listening to the other's voice as he spoke to him.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdhjzvAfkU
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUaVGAnV5Q
Charmaine ate, savoring every bite that he had. His heart skipped a beat, almost like he was feeling emotions like love. He hummed in contentment as he ate. It was just so good. He had never had anything like this before.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I4z8S4ga3

Charmaine looked up at him with a glare that caused the air to turn cold. "I will NOT call you those names," he said bitterly. He was a strong-willed male who would not settle for anything that passed his boundaries. 146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttgbFKtHek
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKgcdv4qGY
He was never going to call anyone Daddy.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrSv1Wx188
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmm8th9BNN
The vampire looked at him coldly, standing up and walking out. For moments it seemed like he wasn't coming back, but he did. He came with a gun and walked over to Lucas. He pointed the gun to his head and smiled sickly. "Russian roulette. 4 out of 6," he said with a sick sneer in his voice.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVRni2BYI2
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqmrjzJAxx
The other male froze up. "Y-you can't! He's a kid!" he stuttered. He was scared. His tone was like when he first got here. Scared and wanting to cry. His voice quivered as he spoke. "P-please! Y-you can try that sick game on him!" he yelled out with emotion.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1KUOoDHj6
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpM6rN8xrB
Selene watched the tears fill the other's eyes as he let out a laugh. "Oh? That didn't seem to matter beforehand ~" he said, finger on the trigger. Yes, he was a vampire and silver was repelling but this was no normal gun. It was a special gun that worked well in the right vampire's hands.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DatYolF3t
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVqYmGvy4X
Charmaine stood quickly. He fell to his knees by the two. Tears fell on his face. "P-please, I'm sorry..!" he begged through broken sobs. "I-i'll do anything, I swear on my life..!" he said. His body quivered. He wasn't the type to cry, but losing this kid was gonna affect him so bad that he'd never forget.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpv3E33wcx
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwUv4vrD4r
He looked at him, eyebrow raised. "Anything?" he asked sickly, still holding the gun to the boy's head.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYAfdWPKkU
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugUoia26kS
The other boy nodded. "Y-yes, anything..!" he stuttered out, crying. "N-name anything and I'll do it. I-i promise.." he stuttered out emotionally.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC0YNoWbHS
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq28yKvUMAf
The vampire nodded and took the gun away from his head. He slipped it into a holster and then crossed his arms, looking at the male. "Then call me by the names I requested," he said with a sadist smile. For a vampire male, he acted cold-hearted sometimes.

The young male stayed down and nodded. He didn't move, wipe his tears or speak. He was shaken up badly and had a slight headache. His eyes stung from crying so much.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagLA1khuVe
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPiKNXvanz
Selene sighed and crouched down in front of him, lifting his face gently with his hand and wiping his tears with his free hand. "Shh, it's going to be alright, hun. Just calm down. I promise that as long as you follow my rules everything and I mean everything will be alright." he said in a gentle tone towards him.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYy1rXP4is
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzitc1YB7T
"I-i want to see my parents... my mom was pregnant with my baby brother.. can I... go see them, M-master..?" he asked with a stutter, using the name he was told. He just wanted to see someone he worried about.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRQ1KQO4CY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4bQl6niFy
He looked at him with a softer gaze. 'He did ask. Maybe..' he thought before releasing a small breath. He allowed a small breath onto his face. "Only if I go with you," he said with a soft gentle tone.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafn19XG8Tp
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCkw082ePK
Charmaine nodded with a cheerful smile. "Yes, of course! Thank you! Thank you so much!" he said with a soft cheerful tone. He hugged the vampire tightly before letting go and standing quickly. "C-can I go get changed?" he asked sweetly.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXogN29I4hT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGd9hvzLXd
The older male smiled and nodded, standing fully. He let out a chuckle as he walked to the halls outside the dining room. "Come, I'll take you to my room so you can pick out some clothes to wear then I'll drive us over to your family's house. Then you can introduce me to your family. I'd love to meet who raised such a charming young male as yourself." he said softly.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFQnrSBN3a
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cVQTi8jqE
He ran beside him and walked along his side as they headed to his room. He looked like a cheerful child compared to the other male. He had warmed up and started to like the vampire who kidnapped him and held him, hostage. It just set a comforting feeling in his chest.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBmKV985XV
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAkV9uxJ4r
Once they reached the room, he led him over to the walk-in closet and flung open the doors to reveal a lot of different styles of clothes. He gasped as he walked in slowly and looked around before picking out an outfit he thought looked good.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6EZk22gFd
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1WLgvC7UB
He changed quickly in the bathroom before coming back out in a tight black mini-dress, knee-high royal blue socks, and red three-inch heels. He had his hands clasped together in front of him as he stood there.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYFuw6HNOo
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHBg94iqfD
Selene smiled faintly. He remembered the dress from someone else he had kidnapped. He shook the thought out of his head softly. "You look gorgeous, darlin," he said gently.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw34W9n3CQ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VRbwN3zsn
Charmaine nodded and smiled brightly. "Thank you, sir. Can we go now?" he said and asked with a soft, calming tone. He was like a child with candy. He got a chance to be whom he wanted and spend time with those he loved dearly.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBL7zJKy88
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FuQzJB7yV
The vampire let out a chuckle. "Of course, but first tell me your rules," he said in a soft but strict tone. He was being this kind for one reason. He wanted him to mess up so he could bring him back home and keep him hostage until he so desired.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahlgVhUDdD
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn7sBrxvdC
The younger boy was quiet, thinking about the rules then gleamed brightly. "Follow instructions, call you Master, Daddy, or Sele, don't try to escape, and ask permission to do things or go anywhere with anyone. If I mess up and break a rule, we go right back home no matter the situation," he stated brightly.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4IpqKeSRu
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcghlIjfZzj
Selene nodded and led him out. He took him over to a grand-looking car. It was a sports car painted black and red, his favorite colors. Regardless of being a vampire, he knew how to drive and how to drive well. It struck no surprise that he had quite a couple of cars that varied in so many different styles and types. He pulled out the keys and opened the passenger side door, allowing Charmaine in the car before shutting the door behind him. He walked over to the drivers' side and got in, shutting the door with a small slam and putting the key in the ignition.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRD13VOss0
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteuJy1Qd29
When the car started, a smooth but robotic AI voice spoke out. "Hello, master Selene. Glad you could take this ride. Might I assist your drive?" the male voice spoke out formally.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6m7C6SUNQ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7EeKCYGn8
Charmaine was in shock. He listened to the car's tone as if he knew it from somewhere. He thought, for a moment, that the voice belonged to someone he knew in the past. Regardless, he pushed his thoughts aside and buckled up. He turned to the window and looked out, awaiting the drive.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqCLHawAqT
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mc0WuwAQE
Selene let out a chuckle at the AI's tone. "You already know the answer to that. Please take us to the Constance's residents if you will," he said just as formally before buckling as well and sitting back. 146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51nZPiH3RY
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3i3egJLBe
At first, some noises were heard before the AI spoke out again. "Of course, sir. Might I interest you in some small refreshments as the drive commences?" the AI asked before the car roared to life and started to move. The windows were lowered a bit and the roof was down. The car was a convertible. Not a normal convertible, but a technology-aged one. The backseat flipped down to reveal a table and bar full of treats and refreshments.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZjLMHDTuG
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBH7vUakth
Selene looked to Charmaine. "Keep the refreshments child friendly if you will," he stated before sitting back and closing his eyes. "Thank you, Geo," he said to the AI, addressing the voice by name.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQCUT1yc6V
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR52bVEMRh1
The AI, Geo, did just that, changing out the adult treats and refreshments to child-friendly ones. Then he went silent, allowing just the sounds of the area around him.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4seHE0oUwo
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ocUJokCh
Charmaine kept his eyes out the window. He didn't want snacks or anything else. He just wanted to hurry off to see his distant family. He knew that they worried about their missing child, but he couldn't change that. He wanted to jump out of the car and rush towards their home, into their awaiting embrace and assure them that he was all right and everything was ok. If only it was that easy. 146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtpOaIuiLF
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUYD4nNLLD
The vampire didn't break the silence at any moment. He enjoyed it. It was very soothing since he was slightly stressed about the whole ordeal of letting his hostage see his own family. A thought came to mind. He didn't even remember his family so why was he being so kind towards his hostage and granting his wish? He let out a small, quiet sigh and folded his arms over his own body. Maybe he was getting soft.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SXKsMpTu8
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0HotR1OA7
After about an hour, the car came to a stop and the sound of other car horns was heard. They were stuck in traffic. The AI sprung to life and spoke. "My apologies for such a massive delay. It seems that there was an accident that took place and is stalling traffic. If you would like, I can play some music as we wait on an opening to drive," the AI said.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUzKzvOOuG
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzoABr83Fb
Selene chuckled. "That won't be necessary, thank you," he said and returned to being quiet, not wanting to disturb his hostage. 146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJrMyFyh5O
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwH6mcGY5b
Suddenly, Charmaine started to hum, making a tune out of the noise around him. His eyes were closed, but his skin seemed to glow in such chaos. It seemed to be the greatest moment in his life. His voice. His tone. His tune. It was all so mesmerizing. The best and most greatest talent he ever was born with.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpjZwWdVxG
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURtMg6zNgK
After another hour or so, the traffic eased up and they got off at the next exit. As they drove, Charmaine stopped humming and soon sat back with a quiet, soft expression on his face. It was like he lost all hope. He didn't. He just had a secret to keep and memories flooded his mind as he drove down his childhood.146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HVRZH9XNy
