Never Let Them Hurt You

(Annabelle)

I woke up feeling rested for once. How the hell did I do that though? Usually I have nightmares. Then I realized I was naked and laying on top of something. Gerard. Oh god. Now I remember. It was so strange, last night. I felt like the consent was both ways. He actually wanted to make ME feel great, he actually cared. Not like in the slave hold.
I picked my head up from Gerard's bare chest and looked around. "Hi", Gerard said. I kind of jumped, not expecting him to be awake. "h-hi", I said quietly. Gerard sat up and propped himself against the headboard, his arms wrapped around my waist. "Sleep well?" He asked quietly. I nodded. I wondered if Gerard slept. The guards in the hold never slept, they claimed they didn't need it. I sat up from Gerard and wrapped a blanket around myself, embarrassed. I was bone thin and underfed. Gerard just continued to stare at me. "What?" I asked after a few minutes. "Nothing. You're just beautiful. I'm amazed", he said softly. I blushed and looked down at the bed. How was a vampire finding me... Beautiful? How was a vampire willing to make love to a slave and not consider it rape? the thoughts left my head spinning. I guess I've gotten lucky. Too lucky. He must be leading me on to something horrible.
"Want some breakfast?" Gerard asked suddenly, standing up and putting boxers on. That's when my stomach growled. I hadn't eaten in probably 3 days. I shook my head, but he smiled and picked me up bridal style, blanket and all. "Well your stomach just grumbled and you weigh practically nothing so we're gonna feed you", he said smiling and trying to conceal his fangs. I smiled slightly up at him. He seemed pretty genuine, like he wasn't faking anything. Still, I had to keep on guard. He carried me all the way through the lavish hallways and down the elaborate, wooden spiral staircase and into the kitchen. "What would you like to eat my Annabelle", he asked, setting me down on one of the stools at the island counter. I shrugged. "I don't know any breakfast foods besides... I'm not even sure what it's called", I said quietly and blushing embarrassingly. "That's okay, darling",
Gerard said and walked around the kitchen, getting some supplies from the big cupboards and ingredients from the refrigerator. "I'm going to make you something called an omelette", Gerard said cheerily and began doing things around the kitchen. I had no idea what he was doing so I was left to my own thoughts, most of which concerned Gerard. I couldn't be falling for him and those... Beautiful hazel eyes and that greasy yet attractive black hair. No. I have to keep my guard up. He's a vampire. I'm a human. This shouldn't be happening.
