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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAdhFvFaae
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zetl00BA7
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08iZEkFF4y
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglO63DditF
"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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY31oX1T2Ca
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnqt4V54od
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVqbn9omPV

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. 159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuD2JDEVdB
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrGLsAc9I4
He was never going to call anyone Daddy.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kja3BEa53
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fFP8GOcUk
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62NumNKrYs
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FhMlbhp93
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy660D5uxm
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsTMIiyB48
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFtTxURJQM
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD0we1ZOfW
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosCYMtFu2o
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDpMMU15sk
He looked at him, eyebrow raised. "Anything?" he asked sickly, still holding the gun to the boy's head.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLdBQY7lom
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfksIOKOFP
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O0PqfNExM
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7uzOC0umI
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVNxwxwIxN
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbngyfQpYQ5
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GyFtqgBFJ
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY8aXjTqfr
"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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlVk7kGR2j
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CzdJJLCaq
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzbiaCh3dX
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8H0apUhZo
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVq1W78VpF
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo6WfONzML
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscgVktIxDn
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkK2AAOC7x
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtthugcFvm
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8ZqIOHIik
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYge9NzmmL5
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyF81Nbexp
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BITuzPTsr
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22LgbM39Ur
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYdlBNbu0j
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdnBnBfRJq
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMTDOjR79c
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSRwllfVPd
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3aeSzC8DX
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbROQL9IEW
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbmmyslson
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMA4dQUHUG
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Vnr8t0gR
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB83PAsjrx
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRuXFlUca5
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5WmKbpKuy
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOiq5u9GT0
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOs4KVU4vw
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. 159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNFjVJCZlr
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5faCLmBjN
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypHusTFJ2h
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qOEfEUUxt
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkVaIVX4t9
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC56M1UOAO
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8XlheaUHB
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxKEpm0JpA
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. 159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aCrkCNx5r
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5NxKQgi6z
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡditvwknQyB
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz42QgrfWI
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDrNtifJRE
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ufYSpPRr8
Selene chuckled. "That won't be necessary, thank you," he said and returned to being quiet, not wanting to disturb his hostage. 159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixcJSD2CLT
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNSq8CaPfq
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPezPjOcwo
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y1KU2SZaL
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.159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XkLPgOEYl
