The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race.In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made aconsecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive justas they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional bloodcollections, or so they thought in reality, we were all under their control.Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Eachcastle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carrieda Lord.The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked itor not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyonewas in order and no one stepped out of line. lf you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still betterthan the poor.The poorest lives held a much worse fate.The men were tobe put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, orjust building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets.Petswere the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collarsaround their necks.They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for thedreadful day that they'll be bought.They were treated like animals,trainedinto what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughteredfor their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our populationwould stay steady. l was born into this world.Born into this world full ofblood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones.Was.lt all endedfor me when l was 12, when l was taken away from the last bit of hope andfamily that l had left.Ever since then, l've lived in a cage, just rotting away,waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. l am a pet.

l watched as it suddenly stopped its eyes continuing to stare into mine as if it was looking directly into my soul. l couldn't look away from its brown eyes despite the fear that seemed to consume my entire being. The sound of bones breaking and snapping filled the air whilst the wolf began to growl. l felt my eyes widen even more as the wolf began to shake and slowly change until a human was crouching down in its place. There tanned back on display as they stood to their full height completely naked. "Mine."
