Never Let Them Hurt You

(Annabelle)

I looked at him strangely. "You wh-what?" I asked, still confused by what he had just said. "Annabelle... Most vampires aren't good, like I'm trying to be. They... They know me as a bad guy who will hurt humans. My friends... They're not good either", he explained, getting paler every word. Then it hit me. I was in danger. I pulled myself away from him. "You're going to hurt me aren't you", I said shockingly. He tried moving closer. "No... My Annabelle, no. I won't hurt you. I promise", he said quietly. "I just... Can't promise my friends won't try to hurt you. I'll stop them though. Okay?" He whispered. I nodded but kept my distance. "They're coming soon, okay?" He said. I nodded again and he pulled me into his arms. "My Annabelle... I'll protect you", he whispered into my ear. It didn't help the uneasy feeling in my stomach though. I had a horrible feeling that he wouldn't be able to protect me.
About an hour later Gerard's friends showed up. I had changed back into my regular slave attire and was sitting on the floor of the slaves' quarters when they came stumbling in. There were three of them with Gerard. They all looked down at me, smiling menacingly. "Wow, Gerard. For a filthy human she's fuckin' stunning", said the super short one. Gerard nodded an caught my eye contact. He nodded, like a silent signal to tell me everything would be alright.
Everything wasn't alright.
After a while the whole house stunk horribly. All four of them were blowing smoke from these paper things they were rolling. They were also drinking something from bottles, and I think it was messing with their perception of things. I was still hiding in the slaves' quarters when I heard a slurred voice. "Where the fuckin' slave girl?" It said. Oh god. It sounded like Gerard. He came stumbling in and grabbed me roughly by the arm. "Gerard..." I whimpered. "That's MASTER", he said loudly and slapped me. Hard. I stumbled back but he grabbed me again and dragged me out through the house. The other three guys were sitting around, drinking from the bottles. It smelled awful. Gerard slapped me again, much to the others' amusement. They all cheered. The one with curly hair spoke up. "Bring her here", he slurred and Gerard pushed me over to him on the couch.
That night, I was raped.
That night, I lost my trust in who I thought was my only friend. Vampires cannot be trusted.
