Master of Mine

He Cares?

*Frank*
I had no idea what had just happened. I was struck by what Gerard had done. Apparently I was now his? The transition had been like two children bartering over a piece of candy.
Currently I was staring at the mundanely colored tiles of the floor. I had no idea how my 'new' master wanted me to act. Probably the same way Derek wanted, but I wasn't sure.
My throat was still sore from Derek choking me, and my knee was throbbing in agony. I had fallen on it when Derek had let go of me. It was probably broken again.
"Are you going to get up, or just sit there?", I heard my new master say as his shoes came into my line of vision. I looked up at him.
His uniquely colored eyes were twinkling in victory, the golden fleck gleaming. Plus he had a smirk on. There was something about the corner of his mouth and how it twisted his thinner upper lip into a Cheshire Cat grin that struck me. And his pale skin only enhanced the shadows that were cast from his long hair framing his face.
I realized that I was staring and nodded to answer his question. Now I had a problem.
How I was supposed to stand up with a bum knee? Leaning on my good leg, I tried to balance myself so I could get to my feet. Finally I was in a standing position, but was trembling at the tremors of pain going through my body. I was barely putting weight on my leg, but it still throbbed.
He was frowning and staring at my leg. "What happened to your knee?"
I licked my lips in uncertainty. Should I tell him? I mean, he's now my master, so I definitely shouldn't lie to him. I was actually surprised he even asked about it.
"I, uh, disobeyed my old master and he punished me.", I said softly. He quirked his head and raised an eyebrow. "How extensive was the damage?"
"Um, I was diagnosed with a broken kneecap, it was two weeks ago.", I answered with wide eyes. The bell rang for class, but Gerard didn't bat an eyelash. I wasn't surprised, vampires couldn't get in trouble with the school staff if they tried.
"Hmm, you should at least be wearing a splint. What good are you if you can't even walk?" He started striding in a general direction as he spoke. I took that as a hint that I should follow him and did my best to keep up with him. "What did you do to have him break your leg anyway?"
I trailed behind him as I had done with Derek. "I slapped him when he tried to make sexual advances on me.", I said, swallowing dryly.
Gerard smirked again and looked at me through the corner of his eye. "Well, you won't have that trouble with me sugar. If I have a go at you, then you definitely aren't going to be unwilling." I shuddered at the note in his voice. How on earth could a creature be so seductive?
I kept my head low to hide my blush. At once, he stopped and put a finger under my chin. When Derek had done it, I felt violated and disgusted. Strangely, Gerard's touch only made my face feel like it was on fire.
He lifted my head so he could see my blush and I stared into his eyes. It was like locking eyes with a cobra. Those orbs entranced me, I couldn't even feel my body as I gazed.
"You have nothing to hide from me. I'm your master now and you wouldn't hide something from your master, would you?", he asked, his face inches from me. I read it as a warning and shook my head.
He regained his smile and nodded. "Good."
Turning to the door that was next to us, he waved at it, "This is the nurse's office, go in and get a brace. My next class is Drawing II, meet me there at the end of this period."
I nodded at the order and he walked off. He left a lingering aura around me, it was heavy and made me feel light-headed. He actually cared enough to send me to the nurse's office. Derek would have made me walk it off like he had done when he broke it.
I could feel a smile creeping on my face.
