Love Me Like You Do

Ivan Markovic



Adrian Drach


Mabel Collins

Rebecca Stewart


It was the start of another auction day. A new batch of humans was in to sell as slaves. Ivan dressed in a day suit as he drove to the auction warehouse. He was meeting his best friend, Adrian, there, the two were going to buy a shave or two today. He knew Adrian used his slave for anything, but he just needs someone around to clean the house. Ivan was the youngest, rich vampire in the country. His father had started a multi-billion dollar company, and when he was killed, Ivan got to take over. He was a young business man and everyone knew who he was. As he entered the bidding area, Ivan took a seat up front. He wanted to be able to see what he was bidding on. Saving the seat besides him for Adrian. Ivan reeked of wealth and power, the way he looked and held himself showed it all. He looked over at Adrian when he came. "Need another one?" He tease, giving his best friend a toothy grin. Ivan knew why Adrian went through slaves so quickly. But he wouldn't say anything. It wasn't his slaves. He hoped that he could somehow convince his friend to be nicer to this one, and not kill it.

Rebecca sat in the third cage to the right. She was only wearing black shorts and a white tank top. She sat in the far corner and shook. Rebecca was terrified. The vampires had killed her family and taken her to be sold. She had only heart stories about what the vampires did to their slaves. And she was worried she would get one who'd hurt or kill her. She watched as the group started to make their way in. Many of them were rich business men or women. But there was a few stragglers.

Adrian wiped his mouth once he finished draining the blood of his last slave. This was always how it ended. He did whatever he pleased with his slaves until the morning of auction day, that was the day he drained his slaves blood, watching them closely as their faces turned white and their sounds left the body. This was is favorite part. He lived for the adrenaline that seeing a person slowly drift into death brought him. He loved how the the human would scream in the beginning but by the end was nothing more than a cold corpse ready for disposal. Before getting ready for the auction, he ordered a maid to dispose of the body. Once the mess was cleaned up Adrian dressed in his normal auction attire, consisting of blue jeans and a t shirt.

Adrian was never one to dress up for auction events, he saw it as dressing for the humans, and humans were nothing more than play toys to him. He had no reason to dress nice and impress his toys. Before long Adrian found himself at the auction, taking a seat by his best friend Ivan.

"I got rid of my last one this morning, she screamed for longer than most" he chuckled darkly, grinning.

Mabel sat in the last cage to the left. She was clothed in a black tank top and some black shorts, normal clothes for almost all the girls in the other cages. Her knees were brought to her chest, her chin resting on them. Her family has been killed long ago in front of her, yet somehow she managed to escape. She had lived for years running and hiding, hoping that this day never found way into her timeline.

Yet now her she sits in a dirty cage, waiting to be bided on and bought by a filthy vampire. She was nothing more than an object to them. She was a time waster until she was no longer worth their time and disposed of. Mabel's grip tightened around her knees, her nails digging into the side of her thighs causing small marks.

Her face stayed free of emotion but inside she could not have been more terrified. Mabel was a strong girl and before ending up in this cage she would shit talk a vampire in an instant. Never recognizing how powerful they really were. Now she was truly powerless, hopeless, and soon would be auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Ivan rolled his eyes at Adrian. "You get what you want, I get what I want." He remarked. Ivan stood to follow his friend, adjusting his tie a bit and walking slowly. "I need someone to take care of the mansion, I'm a rich bacholer. That house could be home to over fifty people. You think with my wealth I'm going to clean it myself?" He remarked, laughing at the though. Ivan had better things to do. Those included making money, and building his political and business power. He and Adrian were a better known pair than any celebrity couple. The reason being how rich and powerful both were, all the while being bachelors. Ivan always was the one to point out he was the richer of the two, but Adrian had more power, so to speak, simply because he was much more intimidating and sadistic. "You like this one?" He whispered to his friend, grinning slightly. Looking down at Rebecca. Ivan knowing his friend liked the most frightened looking one, and she was it by far. "Be nice, Vincent. Maybe I'll buy it for you." He said and gave his friend a stupid grin. He walked over to Mabel's cage and grinned. "Hey there." He said and looked down at her, turning to his friend he said to him. "I'm getting that one, and I highly doubt any of the blokes here will be able to out bid me." He said and grinned softly again. Soon the time for the auction to start came and everyone took their seats. They rallied off a few girls and a couple boys quote quick. Before then getting to Mabel. Ivan quickly bid, and a much higher price than any of the others had gone for. When he won her, Rebecca came up next.

Rebecca had done her best not to look at any vampires throughout the day. She didn't want to make incidental eye contact and have them think she was challenging them or anything like that. But soon she heard Ivan's voice and instinctively looked up, her eyes dropped in terror as she tried to look down as quickly as possible. She felt the stares of both that vampire and his friend before they finally had to leave for the auction to start. She watched slowly as these people were taken one by one. And now it was her turn. She was up on stage and there were a few vampires bidding on her. But Rebecca noticed the one from earlier seems to have an edge and really want her. That was so,etching that truly worried her. She knew his intentions must be dark. When she was sold she let out one small cry before being pulled out back to be washed up a bit and given to her new master.

@ BadStreetBoys
Adrian raised an eyebrow at Ivan's comment. "What I want I get, and if someone tries to out bid I could easily just kill them. Nothing out of the ordinary for me" he smirked and flicked his eyes to Rebecca. "Wow you look more terrified than I have ever seen before, you'll be fun to kill."

Adrain grinned at the thought. This girl was going to be interesting. He believed she would try to comply to everything he asks of, but would not be able to mask her fear. Adrian already knew what he would do to her. He would do what her normally did and at times make the girl think he would stop, but he never stopped. She would learn that soon enough.

Once the bidding on Rebecca started it wasn't long before victory was his and it was time to pick up his new thing.

Mabel looked up when she felt a presence lingering over her. She almost flinched when he spoke, but not really out of fear. Though it was obvious he was nothing more than another rich vampire who thought he was the best thing to have ever walked the planet, he did not scare her. Mabel did not feel threatened in the least bit. She did not even feel intimidated which was quite strange considering almost all vampires were intimidating in one way or another. Mabel did not almost flinch out of fear but instead out of annoyance. He was full of himself, and Mabel hated that even in a vampire.

As the auction started Mabel kept her eyes on the one who had spoken and was not surprised when he was the one who won her. As the auction came to a close and Mabel was cleaned up a bit, she was dragged to her new owner. She stood in front of the man, about 4 inches shorter than he, though still no fear came over her.

As Ivan and Adrian made their way to pick up their new slaves, Ivan looked across at his dear friend. "Oh Adrian, you don't kill this one. Promise me it will last." He said and chuckled at his friend. "Meet me at my manor tonight, after we part ways and you let the slave learn a bit about you. We have some business to talk about." It was true they worked together on business, but he was requesting this to save the slave from being slammed tonight. He wanted to let her start easy. He hated that Adrian would literally break their hips and them force them to work. One had gotten pregnant and he killed them right off. Ivan flipped out on Him that time and taken away his paycheck for the week, as well as suspended him. That was the one thing he had gotten Adrian to promise he wouldn't do anymore. Was kill a slave if it got pregnant. Ivan held his hands behind him, looking Him up and down and grinning. "Oh, my friend, I think we are both going to have a grand time. You may have a bit of a more exhilarating one. But I will have a decent one as well. My money makes it fun." He said and smirked, the rivalry in their friendship was fun for the both of them. His money was his major card, but he also had the political power over Adrian too. Ivan was powerful, his father had been governor and senator for years, and Ivan was soon planning to run, but not quite yet. He wanted to make sure the company would stay at where it was before he couldn't be there anymore. That was one thing he wanted to talk to Adrian about. If he had to leave Ivan wanted Adrian in charge, he knew Adrian would not turn on him, or not want to make money. Ivan looked down at Mabel and flashed a toothy grin. "How nice to meet you, I'm Ivan, follow me." He said waving his hand for her to follow him as he went out to his car.

Rebecca glanced up at Adrian's voice, she heard his words and knew immediately that they were true. She let out a small whimper and backed into her cage. She was worried now that he would be the one to buy her. As Rebecca watched the other ones go she saw the first man bid extemely high and win the girl next to her. Now it was her turn. She turned as white as the vampires as she was dragged up on stage. She saw the vampire who spoke to her and sighed when he bid and won her. Rebecca was pulled off stage and brought out back to be cleaned up. When she was done she was placed next to Mabel because their buyers were coming in together. Rebecca looked at Ivan, he talked to Mabel as if she was a person, but she doubted hers would be anything like that. She glanced across at Adrian, but made sure not to make eye contact in case that would anger him.

With an eye roll and a scoff Adrian spoke "Oh Ivan, do you not know me at all after all of our many years together?" Adrian gave a sly grin. "I promise she will last the night." He paused as the slaves were put in front of them both "probably." Adrain then directed his attention to the girl in front of him.

"And we meet again so soon. Still scared darling? Good you should be. Let us go." He nodded and looked to Ivan. "I'll be over in a couple of hours" and with that he and Rebecca were gone.

It did not take too long before they reached Adrain's place. While it was not as huge as Ivan's, it was a good size. It wasn't like most houses. Adrian had been sure to have it custom built as soon as he acquired enough money to do so. The house it self was comprised of many windows though the solid parts were a deep dark black. Adrian enjoyed the sunshine that all the windows brought. However, there was room in the house that was nothing but walls and dark walls. Stained with memories of the former souls who once occupied bodies that had stayed in that room.

"Come on, speed it up we don't have all day." Adrian rolled his eyes and pushed Rebecca forcefully forward. While he didn't change much in front of Ivan, it was obvious he was a tad bit nicer to slaves in Ivan's presence. It was a whole different thing at his own home.

Mabel looked up at him, meeting his eyes as he spoke to her. She felt the urge to smart off, but resisted for the time being. Mabel felt as if this guy would be one more likely to act out in front of others to up hold some sort of image or something.

"Mabel." She spoke quietly in response and followed him to the car. After she spoke she was pretty sure he wasn't actually looking for a response from her. Oh well. Once at the vehicle she let herself in and slide to the far side of the car in the back. She hoped he did not decide to sit next to her. Not that he scared her, but she knew if he sat next to her there was a likelier chance of him talking to her on the way to his home, and that is something Mabel did not want in the slightest.

She had an odd feeling around him. She wasn't quite sure yet what it was, but it was different than the feeling she got around other vampires. Far different from the feeling that Ivan's friend had given her. Mabel felt sorry for that girl, Mabel could tell Ivan's friend had no good intentions.

@ Beautiful Misery
Ivan walked around the car to his driver's seat, taking a glance back at Mabel. "You can ride in the passenger seat if you like." He commented getting into the seat he started the car and drove off. Ivan liked driving, the one thing he wouldn't get someone to do for him was driving for him, he enjoyed it too much. Ivan drove, remaining quiet most of the ride, as they exited the city and begun to a more rural area Ivan glanced at Mabel. "So is this your first time? Or has some asshole owned you before?" He asked, fingers drumming on the wheel along to the song. He didn't want his slave to despise him, he didn't think of the humans so much as low as everyone else did. But he also felt compelled to own one because of his riches. Soon they pulled up to a large iron fence and gate. Ivan punched in a code before looking back to Mabel. "Okay so the code to get in to anything around here is 4291. Try to remember that you can get around." Ivan pulled up to his manor. It was white and black, and something you would see in a movie." Ivan hopped form the car and led her inside. He walked into his large kitchen and grabbed a piece of paper from the fridge, which had 5 chores on it before handing it to Mabel. "This is what I'd like done by tomorrow afternoon. You've got a room on the third floor, fifth door on the left. It's got a closet, and fridge full of food. If you have any request please write them down. My dog is out back. He won't hurt you. If you could let him in later that'd be great. I've gotta get to writing up reports. If you have any questions. Page me." He said and handed her a pager. "Oh one more thing." He said and handed her a toothpaste like tube. "When I need blood, this is a coagulant. It will stop the bleeding. Use it for that." He said and with that Ivan disappeared into his study.

Rebecca looked up as he spoke, the terror still deep in her eyes. When they arrived at Adirans house she looked around, it was very weird to her. She was apparently walking too slow when she was shoved by Adrian she stumbled a bit. "I'm sorry sir." she whispered before hurrying up and following him to the dark room. She looked alrund and immediately thought it was crept and dark and a disaster. She stood in front of Adrian, eyes on her feet while waiting to hear what she would endure while here. She was even more scared now with the fact the other vampire wasn't around, who seemed to have a Leash on her new owner.

@ BadStreetBoys
Adrian smirked as she apologized. That's exactly what he was aiming for. "She speaks. For a moment I thought I had won a worthless mute."

Though Adrian did not care for conversations with his slaves, he did not like them to be entirely quiet. He enjoyed a bit of banter from them, though he could tell all he would get from this one is many apologies but lots of cries for help. At the moment Adrian wanted nothing more than to break her in, see exactly what he had spent his money on. However, Ivan expected him at his place rather soon so there wasn't time for much. "Have you been owned before? I hope not, I do not like used toys." Adrian eyed her, awaiting a response. He was curious as what her previous owner history had been. The fear that etched her features was not something that appeared over night.

Mabel watches as Ivan hopped into the drivers seat. That was weird to her considering he looked like someone who had everything done for him. She was relieved though, that meant that she may not have to interact with him just yet. "No thank you I'm fine back here." She spoke softly, her gaze going to the things they passed as they drove.

"Luckily I have managed to live a long time without being caught, my luck ran out." Mabel took in a small breath, letting it out as a sigh.

Once they reached the mansion and she was told the code, she made a effort to remember it. Maybe she could use that to escape one day if she ever felt the need. The way that Ivan spoke to her though, Mabel did not feel the need to flee just yet. He had not spoke down to her and was treating her rather respectfully, which she found surprising.

"You have a dog?" She asked, fighting back a grin. One thing that would never change about Mabel was that she adored animals. Though the fact that she despised cleaning would also never change. This quality of hers may effect her negatively at some point. Though she didn't think much of the cleaning due to her excitement about his dog.

Unfortunately, her excitement was drained quickly at the mention of blood. She had completely let that slip her mind. He was a vampire who had spent good money on her, of course he expected to feed on her.

@ Beautiful Misery
Ivan watched Mabel and saw the spark of excitement in her eyes as he mentioned his dog. "Yes, he's a Rottweiler, his name is Duke, you can let him in now if you'd like to meet him, just if you do feed him and fill his water dish, they're both in the corner cabinet in th kitchen." He said and disappeared. Ivan went off to his study to fill out evaluations and reports for all of his employees. He needed most of these done by the end of the week. And he was hoping to get them done before Adrian came over. Ivan finished in an hour and a half before heading out to the kitchen. He looked around and sighed not wanting to go find Mabel. He grabbed his pager and buzzed it to get her. But then realized that was stupid, and moved to his PA system which was placed throughout the house, he pressed the button and into the Mike said . "Mabel could you please come to the kitchen." He waited for her to come and looked down. "You may or may not know, vampires can eat regular food, well actually we should, blood is just needed to survive. Could you make me steak and mashed potatoes, actually make two, Adrian is coming over. Rare for us, and make them however you enjoy your steak for you and his slave. When it's ready bring it into that room." He said and pointed to the room besides his living room. "You and Adrian's slave can eat up in your room." He said and with that he went off to his dining room, sitting and waiting, playing on his phone.

Rebecca would look at Adrian as he spoke, just not in his eyes, she could tell by his verbal abuse things were going to get worse from here. Rebecca didn't like being called a toy, the look of dissgust quickly skimming her face before she hid it and looked at him. "No, sir, I've never been owned before, I'm not used." She said in a soft manor. Rebecca folded her hands together, sighing softly to herself as she thought again about her family being caught, and the tprturrenthey had been. Through for the last few weeks before the auction. And now she thought it was just getting worse for her.
