What is 'life?' Is it the culmination of all the bonds that you have formed before your death? Maybe your bank balance? Wealth? Sexual activities? Or, just your story which has no meaning in itself?
Nathan appreciates life as he has a desire to live even when everyone dies. Whereas, Leonard is the same but he refuses to accept it. Yes, he was [partially correct. He didn't beg me to live... directly, that is. But 'indirectly?' He did. Leonard or Lisa... it doesn't matter. Both of them want to survive... even if their mouths lied.
I said, "Are you alright now? Nathan hit you pretty hard, didn't he? As for your previous insolence, I have decided it to bury it under this beautiful earth. I can also bury you along with it. But we don't want that, do we?"
Leonard gave me a look and sneered, "My name is 'Lisa.'" Again?
"Leonard," I said.
"Lisa!"
"Leonard."
"Lisa!"
"Leonard."
"Lisa!"
"Lisa."
"Leonard!"
I smirked, "Got you! You are not the sharpest tool in the box, are you?"
Leonard sneered, "Tch! My name is 'Lisa.' As for your games, I am not interested in playing them. Why didn't you save them?" His eyes were full of anger.
I replied, "How many times will you ask the same question? I have told you, haven't I? I don't care. And I don't care about you two as well. What I care about is... my 'entertainment' and my 'investment.' Also, blood. I mean, without food, who can survive? Right?"
"Should I hit him again, Master?" asked Nathan. He was holding a baseball bat in his hands.
Leonard threw a glass orb at him and yelled, "Are you out of your mind?! Why do you want to hit me again?! Wasn't one time enough for you?!"
"Now, now... let's calm down, shall we?" I said.
"Fuck you! I will kill you! My friends died because of you! You could have saved them! But you didn't! I-I... I... miss t-t-them." Tears streamed down Leonard's eyes as he desperately tried to stop breaking down before us.
I sighed, "Leonard, I am not the one to entertain theatrics, which involves crying. I am more of an action lover. Also, I do like a bit spiciness... I mean, 'drama.' But... crying? I don't like it. Although, crying suits you. Now that your face is attractive and suitable for my taste, I can let it under slide the rugs."
Nathan handed Leonard a napkin, which he took and nodded gratefully at him. He wiped his eyes and sat on the ground.
I said, "Now as that's out of the way, Leonard... I will appreciate if you are a bit grateful towards me. And as for killing me, you can just throw it out of your head. I am your 'master.' You can't kill me. Not even touch me, unless I allow you to touch me. So, let's be all happy as you two have become my servants, and I have become your one and only master. You shall serve me with everything. Heart and soul. Your allegiance is towards me only. Your life and death will always be in my hands. Understood?"
"Understood, Master," replied Nathan. He had an obedient look on his face. Interesting, he wasn't lying. He was actually okay with it. Maybe I did find a loyal servant, and on my first try. I am feeling proud of myself.
"Leonard, what about you?" I asked.
Leonard wiped his eyes one last time before looking into my eyes. He snarled, "I will never! I will not be servant, especially a monster's servant! I would rather die before that!"
I smirked, "Die? Leonard, you can't kill me. If you think you can commit suicide, then you can't either. You are a coward. Even if you somehow gather the strength to commit suicide, I won't let you. I am the only one who can decide if you live or die. My decision is absolute. Yours? Nothing. Nothing at all." I stood up and walked towards him. I took off my shoes and put them on his head. Leonard gritted his teeth in anger. Flames of hatred surged up in his eyes, yet he did nothing. Because he knew he can do nothing.
I continued, "Leonard, humans don't get another shot at life. Do you want to die? 'No.' Do you want to live? 'Yes.' Anyone can see that in your eyes, minus the anger and hatred. I am ignoring those two," I turned towards Nathan, "Nathan, be a dear and bring that chair for your master. Also, hold these shoes. They must stay on his head."
Nathan immediately brought that chair and put it behind me. I sat in the chair and he held the shoes in their position.
Good. One more point for Nathan.
"See? Humans like Nathan know what's good for them. He knows that I am his master. With me on his side, he can do anything. Do you know why? Because the moment he became my servant, he became superior to all the humans on this planet. Leonard, you are too. Just feel it." I know that I am was manipulating him, but can you hold it against me? Killing him would be too damn easy. I want him to survive.
Leonard hissed, "I will not fall for your charms like Bernard and this idiot! I know what you are! A fucking vampire! We are all the same in your eyes! A blood bag, isn't it?"
I nodded, "Yes, you are."
Leonard's eyes widened in shock. He didn't think that I would agree with him, even though I have said these exact words so many times.
I continued, "Human beings are all same for me. Vampires? They are superior to you. But I? I am superior to not just you, but them too. I am superior to all of you combined."
"You are an egomaniac, aren't you? A little narcissistic vampire?" Leonard sneered at me.
I shrugged, "Maybe. Maybe not. But do I care? No, I don't. Tell me, Leonard. Why should I save your friends if I am not a human? They were your friends. You should have been stronger to save them. Instead, you were about to be sold as a sex slave, while your friends were dead. It's your fault, isn't it? You may hate me. Despise me, in fact. Yet, it won't change the fact that your friends are dead."
Leonard was speechless. He couldn't utter a single word to counter me. Suddenly, my shoes fell off from Leonard's head... because Nathan started scratching himself.
My other servant also started scratching himself.
Oh, I see... it has started. I could smell the arousal from these two.
"W-what... is h-happening to... us?" Leonard wheezed out, while scratching his... nether regions.
"You are experiencing your first surge of lust for sex. It happens to vampires also. But ours... is a bit different and controllable. Yours on the other hand, can't be," I replied. We also include the 'blood' part as well, which is kind of absent in servants. Mostly, weaker vampires are affected by these two surges of lust.
Nathan stuttered, "M-master... I-I... am not feeling... okay." I swatted his grubby hands away when he tried to touch me.
"W-what should we do?!" hissed Leonard. Oh, he was touching his dick.
I said, "Nothing, just relieve yourselves," I pushed Nathan towards Leonard, "I have no interest to bed you two... for the moment, that is. Until then, feel free to use each other."
"Master? Please... I..." Nathan couldn't complete his words. He had already removed his pants and his dick was ready for some action.
I commented, "You are big, Nathan. I like it. Kind of makes feel excited for the future."
"You will live us here?!" yelled Leonard, who was still holding his dick.
I shrugged, "What are you so afraid of? I am just giving you some space. Don't worry I will be just outside the room. Besides, I am sure you aren't afraid of having sex with a man, right? You were a woman before... so, have fun."
"Wait!"
"Master!"
I ignored both of them and left the room. Do you know what 'life' really means? It means the culmination of 'everything'... which then amounts to 'nothing.' Why? Because it always depends on a person's perspective, which is true for both humans and vampires. No one is satisfied with their life. It's true for me too. As for those two... I am sure they will be satisfied... for 'some' time. Ah, forget about them. Let's see what things those 'dead' buffoons have got here.
