Chapter 15
Seeing the dead man lying next to the pureblooded who stood casually before taking a step towards her, it led to Penny to start running . Maybe a rabbit had better luck in hopping and escaping from the scene than her because of the shackles that restricted her from running .
Damien stared at the girl with an amused look on his face, his red eyes sparkling with mirth at the sight of her . Before Penny could increase the distance between them, he had started to walk towards her slowly catching up to her but the girl surprised him when she turned around .
"Don't come any closer," she warned him . It was true though, thought the pureblooded vampire . A slave was never outspoken and the last time he had seen her was a week ago which meant that she hadn't got to go through the harsh disciplinary system of the establishment . There was fear in her eyes as she stared at him, her throat moving down and up when she swallowed to calm her nerves which only excited him further .
"For a slave, I should applaud you for your valour," he clapped his hand which didn't seem least bit genuine but as if he was mocking at her, "You need to be punished for running away from me . For disappearing and making me come after you . "
"I didn't ask you to come after me," she said keeping a safe distance between him and her .
He tched, a sigh escaping from his lips, "Don't be like that, little mouse . You were so well behaved until we reached the inn, did the death of the woman damage something up here," he pointed his finger to his head .
"I am not a slave-"
"I know that . "
"I was brought wrongly-wait what?" she asked him confused . As if the sun had appeared from behind the dark clouds, Penny smiled out of relief, "You know that I am not a slave?"
"Mhmm," he replied with a twinkle in his eyes . Then why was she shackled? "Wondering why you have those still intact?" he asked her to see a nod, "You were the one running since yesterday . Shouldn't you know it better?"
" . . . "
"I know you aren't a slave by just your behaviour but that doesn't erase the fact that I bought you from the slave establishment," spoke Damien looking down at the ground before raising his head, his steps circling her like a predator who was going to pounce on its prey while making sure its meal didn't have the opportunity to escape .
"You cannot do that! I don't have the slave brand like the others!" she blurted out, moving two steps back to stop him from circling .
Damien stopped in his tracks, gauging the girl with his eyes . The smile that had fallen down came up again making Penny worried, "You don't have the branded mark? No worries . Let's take a small trip to the slave establishment so that we can complete it . "
"NO!" she exclaimed quickly in panic . She cursed herself for blurting out the last hope from her mouth to him . Mr Quinn was a daunting man, his unnatural smile staying on his way that wrecked her nervous system before making it go haywire .
"Why not?" he tilted his head, "I thought you the little mouse was upset for not having the mark on the skin . The slave establishment has a rule to not send the new slaves for auction, no matter what they are disciplined, punished made to heed the very word of the guards so that they can be docile with their masters . Yet, here you are after a week out in the market ready to be sold . How did that happen?" asked Damien keeping his eyes on her keenly, "Were you exceptionally well behaved that the warden recommended your name or did you recommend it yourself," he licked his lips to see her eyes widen and a wide smile came upon his lips .
Penny felt her head go dizzy due to the adrenaline rush in her body by his words and question . No matter how much she tried to hide it, the man had caught her plan . She didn't want to go back to the slave establishment . For a slave to meddle with the list of the slaves who were to be auctioned, she would be punished in ways she herself couldn't imagine . Fear and panic were becoming one of the known emotions of her for a week .
