hair. “My
beautiful Simon. Have you missed me?”
    “Yes,” Simon said numbly just the way he’d
been trained. It had been over a month since the last time and he’d
hoped never to see this human again. He’d hoped never to relive
this nightmare. Even knowing it was wrong, he’d hoped the human had
found another favorite. No one made him hate himself more than the
human standing before him.
    “Look what I brought you today,” the human
said and gestured to the female vampire kneeling naked on the
floor. Her head bowed, she didn’t look up at them. “Isn’t she
pretty?” he asked.
    Simon nodded and wondered if he’d end up
being sick to his stomach. This was the worst kind of torture for
him. This was the stuff he could never tell anyone about. “Please
don’t make me do this,” he said. It was the first time he’d ever
said the words out loud. This had been his nightmare for well over
two years, but he’d never had the courage to say those words
before.
    “What did you say?” the human asked through
his teeth.
    “Please just let her leave,” he said and met
the human’s eyes. “I’ll do whatever you ask, just let her go.”
    The human walked over and grabbed the female
by her long red hair. She was one of the few vampires with longer
hair. The only reason any vampire had long hair was that humans
wanted it long. The human jerked her head back roughly until she
cried out. “Come over here, unzip your pants, and take what I have
so generously offered you,” the human said calmly.
    “Please just do it,” the female pleaded.
“Just get it over with.”
    The human backhanded her. His ring cut into
the side of her face. Droplets of blood trickled from the cut,
contrasting vividly with her pale skin. “Shut the fuck up! I tell
you when you can talk.”
    “Don’t hit her!” Simon yelled. He wasn’t sure
where his courage had suddenly come from. Maybe he really was at
the end of his rope. Maybe this was part of some death wish.
    The human pushed the female down onto the
floor and stalked toward Simon. It wasn’t his physical presence
that frightened Simon. He was a weak looking man with very little
muscle tone. What frightened Simon about this man was what he could
accomplish with a word. This man’s power and sick obsession with
Simon were terrifying.
    The human smiled. “You don’t like her?”
    Simon didn’t answer.
    “That’s fine,” the human said with a genial
smile. “I’ll have her pleasure me instead.”
    Simon looked at the poor female on the floor.
She hadn’t moved. She looked too terrified to move or speak. Her
cheek pressed against the cold floor, and her eyes focused on
Simon.
    The door opened, and a tiny girl who looked
to be about six started to enter with a big stack of laundry. When
she noticed the room was in use, she panicked and dropped the
laundry. Her eyes were wide with fear.
    “I didn’t know anyone was in here,” she said,
nearly in tears. “Sorry.”
    When she started to leave, the human called
out to her, “Don’t move. Come in and close the door.”
    With shaky hands, the girl came into the
room. She didn’t make eye contact with any of them, just stared at
her tiny bare feet.
    “After that whore finishes sucking me off,
I’ll have this little blood brat chained down and hold a fucking
knife to her throat while she sucks your cock. How does that
sound?”
    Simon’s eyes widened in alarm. “You can’t!
They don’t let you use the children like that.”
    “My father owns this place and everyone
here,” he said with a satisfied smile. “I can do whatever the fuck
I want to any of you.”
    “Please don’t,” Simon said with his head
bowed. “I’ll do what you say.”
    A slow evil smile spread across the human’s
face. “That’s much better. What do you have to say to me?”
    Simon nearly choked on the words. “Thank you
for bringing me this gift.”
    In that moment, Simon swore he would see this
human dead someday. He would see all of the
