Vampire!RussiaxReader: Tainted Love CH 1

Standing at the window you looked out of the castle you called home from the age of four.  Looking out upon the snow covered landscape you sighed.  The sunset was nearly an hour ago and soon the Head Count would be returning to the castle.  It had been nearly a year since he left to visit the other Ancient Clans.

In the ballroom below servants both humans and vampires were preparing for the return of the feared master.  Everyone in the castle knew that upon his return Ivan would be in a dark mood.  Every time he returned for a long trip Ivan would be extremely agitated and bloodthirsty.  During these moods he would be quick to anger and lash out harshly towards anyone who angered him.  Your life was always in danger during the dark moods.

A sigh left your lips at the thought of the Head Count’s return.  The thought of his long white fangs piercing your skin sent chills down your spine.

“Krolik, come open the door.  You need to get dressed, big brother will be home soon.” Lady Natalia called out to you.  Quietly you opened the door of your chamber.  The platinum blonde walked in with an expensive purple ball gown.

“Another ball gown…” you muttered staring at the dress in the vampire’s cold hands.  Of course it was a ball gown.  You didn’t know why you expected anything else.  The dress was covered in lace and bejeweled with beautiful gems.

“Ivan wants to see you in it so put it on.  And you need to be in the ballroom in few minutes.” Natalia pointed out.  With a sigh you knew she was right.  Taking the dress you waited for her to leave.  You quietly removed the dress you were wearing and changed into the heavy ball gown.  

Looking over yourself in the mirror you knew Ivan would be pleased with your appearance.  On your face was a little makeup to enhance your natural beauty.  Your hair was already placed in pigtails tied with black lace ribbons just like the Master liked.  Since the day you meet your owner you wore your hair only in pigtails.  He liked how the hairstyle reminded him of a rabbit.  And for that same reason he named you Krolik which meant rabbit in Russian.  However when you become a teenage he gave you the second name of _______.  It was the name all vampires and human addressed you as besides Ivan and his sisters.  

“Better get going.” you muttered not really excited to see the Master while he was going through his dark mood.

-----------Ballroom-----------

Walking into the ballroom, it was beautifully decorated in purple.  Even though the room was dimly lit by candles it was clear that great care and detail went into planning the evening.  On the tables were giant crystal containers filled with the finest quality blood.  Glancing around the ballroom you saw visiting vampires all dressed in glamorous outfits.  Most of them were underlings of the Master.  They all came to show their respects to him.  Walking through the room the deadly creatures all smiled at you.  Even though you were a mere human they knew better than to be rude to you.  You were the Head Count’s favorite play thing and everyone knew it.  They all knew how Ivan ripped one of his own kind apart for disrespecting you.

“Good evening, Ms. ________.” a vampire said calling out to you.  The vampire seemed to be the same age as you but he’s really around one hundred years old.

“Good evening.” you smiled at the blonde.  Before he could speak the door of the ballroom once opened.  You quietly moved to the corner of the ballroom as your owner; the Head Count of the Braginski Clan walked in.  Seeing the muscular vampire sent chills down your spine.  You could tell even from afar that he was in a dark mood.

You watched as all the vampires and humans bowed or curtsied.  Quietly you curtsied as well doing your best to blend in with the others.  The tall vampire glanced over the beings showing him respect.  His eyes scanning over the crowd like a predator searching for its prey.  With a snap of his hand your owner signaled everyone to return to normal.  Music quickly filled the ballroom.  Humans rushed back to work not wanting to be punished for slacking off.  Vampires danced and feed off the expensive and rich blood types supplied.  

Sitting in the corner of the ballroom you did your best to stay out of sight.  You watched as Natalia who was wearing a deep blue gown ran up to her brother wrapping her cold arms around him.  Yekaterina was entertaining guests; most of them high ranking vampires in her clan.  Ms. Yekaterina was wearing a light pink dress with a bejeweled matching pink hairband.  

As the night continued you were able to stay away from Ivan.  Thankfully every time he got close to finding you a vampire would come talk to him giving you time to find another place to hide.  

You managed to exit the ballroom without anyone noticing you.  Silently you made your way to the icy courtyard.  The cold air remind you of the skin of the vampires.  A light groan left your lips while you walked through the leafless maze where you played as a child.  Back then you were so naive.  You didn’t understand the role of humans in the world.  The fact that you were nothing more than a toy to the vampires never crossed your mind back then.

“There you are, Krolik.” a familiar voice called out from the shadows.  Before you could turn around you felt the sharp pain of fangs sinking into your neck.  While you became lightheaded your body suddenly became weakened.  Your knees gave out moments before you blacked out.

------------Later----------

You woke up in your bed.  Still lightheaded you slowly tried to sit up.  Looking to your side you meet a pair of glowing purple eyes.  The vampire’s glare was filled with bloodlust.

“Master…” you softly mumbled as the man leaned closer to you.

“Were you hiding from me, Krolik?” the vampire asked softly.  His voice filled you with fear as his large hand caressed your cheek down to your neck.

“No, of… of course not.  I just didn’t want to be at the party.” you mumbled trying to stay calm while lying.

“And why’s that?” he questioned.  His glowing eyes watching how your chest rose and fell with every breath you took.

“Well, I don’t like it when others watch you bite me.  Its… embarrassing.” you muttered softly while playing with your hair.

“No need to be embarrassed.  It’s perfectly natural.” he cooed leaning closer to you.  From the corner of your eyes you watched as he ran his tongue across the new puncture wounds he made in your skin.

Even though Ivan often repeated that the relationship he had with you was normal.  You knew otherwise.  You never heard of a vampire keeping their play toy from their youth.  Even you knew that you should have been dead by the time you turned twelve.  And now that he was the Head Count and near his physical peak Ivan was at a time of his life where he should be feeding on higher quality blood.  However he still only feed from you.

Your mind started to wonder about why the masculine vampire was keeping you alive.  It was a known fact that your blood type wasn’t as flavorful as the others.

“Did you miss me, Krolik?” Ivan asked snapping you out of your thoughts.  Still lightheaded you simply gave him a weaken smile and nodded.

“Good, because I missed you.  I thought about you all the time.” he said with a smile as he rested his lips on the base of your neck.  His cold lips caused you to shiver.
