Chapter 10 No Government
THE CELESTIAL IMPERIAL
"As you already know that this world is full of supernatural species but the vampires and werewolves are mostly dominating the Imperial. The vampires especially are very wicked but the most cruel of them all is the Alpha King." Felicity responded this time.
Kiara furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "The Alpha King? What’s does that mean? And who is he?"
"His name is Vincent Bond-Smith but they call him Vins Bond for short. I heard he is cold at heart as an ice. Like they often call him, The Devil’s Incarnate. He doesn’t care about anyone’s emotions. He can kill whoever tries to get in his way. He is known for being difficult. He is the most feared creature in the supernatural societies. Expect nothing but Death if you ever get on the Alpha King’s nerves so they always say about Vins Bond. He is merciless and undefeated. Strong and fierce. He is a hybrid.” Olivia explained.
“What’s a hybrid?”
“He is half lycan, half vampire.” Zendaya replied.
Kiara became very scared of this new world as Felicity talked more about this Imperial, the Alpha King who she was already afraid of in her head, vampires, werewolves, and everything about this place.
"I heard hundreds of years ago something like a treason happened which made all vampires and werewolves turn against humans. I don’t know the full story but the Alpha King’s hatred towards humans made him establish the tradition that humans should be degraded to the lowest point." Felicity said in a tight whisper. She was afraid of any of the guards showing up and catching her.
"What point?" Kiara asked Felicity.
"It became a tradition that humans should be used as food source, blood banks to vampires, slaves and pets to all supernatural kinds." Felicity replied.
Kiara’s eyes widened in shock. "Food source, blood banks, slaves and pets?! What the hell? Because of the Alpha King’s hatred toward humans!" She spat angrily. Kiara began to feel this sudden hatred towards the Alpha King for his cruelty towards humans. He must be a psychopath and should be confined in a psychiatric home. He should be kept far away from the society!
Felicity spoke up after a long minutes of silence. "Whenever the cell is too full to accommodate humans, they bring some of us out and present us to the High Council."
"High Council?" Kiara arched her eyebrows.
"Yes. They are like a group of noble men who makes decision in this Imperial. When women especially are presented to them, they picked out pets for themselves." Sonya explained.
"And when we say pets…it means those women are being used as s*x toys." Felicity added.
"Like…like…they sleep with them?" Kiara stuttered with horror filling her expression.
"Worse more than that. Pets are the lowest in the Imperial. They walk around naked with a leash strapped to any part of their body. Slaves are clothed in rags and have collars around their necks. The unfortunate humans used as food source are the male humans and sometimes females are used as food source too." Felicity explained further. "There is a big factory where humans donate their blood until they become weak, lean, pale and they die."
"I heard some are lucky enough to get turned in the process." Olivia added.
"That only happens if they are mated to a vampire." Felicity countered her point.
"Humans get mated to vampires?" Kiara asked.
"Yes...but it is a rare case in this Imperial because of the deep hatred towards humans. There is no chance for our kind in this place.” Sonya responded.
"High ranking unmated female vampires have male pets for themselves too." Felicity added.
Kiara was finding it hard to easily comprehend everything they just disclosed to her about this bloodsucking and horrible world. Why is it like this? Everything she has heard so far was terrific and its revolves around the law and tradition which the Alpha King made hundreds years ago for some reasons unknown to humans. How old is the Alpha King to have made such tradition hundreds of years ago? She wondered.
Terror filled Kiara when Felicity said that Darius would be coming around soon to check on his prisoners because as the General, he oversees the whole prison. Her heart beat hard against her chest as she thought about what would be the end of her when she is presented to the High Council.
Food source to the factory? A slave a werewolf? Or a s*x pet to a wicked vampire?! Felicity had predicted s*x pet because Vampires or werewolves loves their pets being pretty and endowed just like her and that terrified her even more. Young children like Zendaya are mostly used as slaves while people like Olivia who are chubby are likely to be directed to the blood factory.
Tears filled Kiara’s eyes at the thought of a vampire draining out her blood to feed their kind or a werewolf trying to force himself on her. Flashbacks from the times Carlos would forcefully have his way on her crossed her mind and it made her cringe even more. She should have died that night instead of being in this world.
Sometime later, Zendaya began to cry of hunger. Kiara was also famished but Felicity said they won't bring in food until Darius orders them to serve the prisoners. This is absolute wickedness! How can they starve people who are very important to them? The vampires especially can’t survive without the existence of the humans!
Kiara clenched her fists in anger. They need the human blood to exist so they should adore her kind like gods! She moved over to Zendaya to beg her but it wasn't working on her. All she wanted was food and Kiara was going crazy in this place!
Kiara stood up and motioned towards the gate. "Hello bloodsuckers! There is a young girl in here who needs food!" She screamed at the top of her voice. Felicity tried to caution her to stay quiet but Kiara wasn’t having it.
The enormous iron door at the entrance busted open and some guards walked in with trays in their hands.
"Who called us bloodsuckers?!" One of the guards asked.
"I did.” Kiara answered before other women pointed to their cell.
His eyes did a slow crawl on her. "For my kind, we are called vampires!" He growled out and flashed his fangs in the process.
"I choose bloodsuckers because you feed on blood!" Kiara spat angrily. He gestured to the other guards to start distributing hamburgers to the prisoners.
"What gut do you have to speak up with such confidence?!" The guard growled.
"I am a human! This is America and I know my right as a citizen! Just wait till the government catches up with you and you will all rot in jail for a very long time!" Kiara gritted.
The guard laughed out. "Did you say government?" He asked. "Hey guys! She just said government will catch up with us!" The other guards laughed too. But soon his laughter turned sour and an angry expression crossed his face. "Government doesn't have a say in this Imperial!" He snarled at her.
"Let me have a burger, this child is hungry.” Kiara said to him.
"Sure your inmates will all get food but you won't be getting any." The guard said.
"You call hamburger food?" Kiara snorted. "This is called a snack.” She corrected him. "You should know what a full meal is moron.”
In a split second, the guard opened the cell gate and stood in front of her. He became even more angry when he realized his presence didn't intimidate her the way it should. Kiara was scared as hell but she won't show it.
His eyes lingered lustfully on her cleavage before doing a slow crawl back to her face. “You should be happy the Alpha King is nice enough to offer you burger. So watch what you say!" Kiara slapped his hand away when he tried to touch her cheeks.
"General Darius is here!" Someone announced.
"You can tell General Darius everything you just said about us bloodsuckers." The guard smirked before stepping out of the cell.
"What is happening here, Joseph?"
Kiara heard his voice. Tension rolled throughout her body when she heard footsteps approaching and everywhere suddenly became silent at his presence.
"Everything is fine…except that we have a stubborn human in this cell. She is new.” Joseph pointed at her.
General Darius looked towards her direction. "You are awake my lady.” He said softly but his eyes looked wild and dangerous.
