• Chapter Two.. Human Rules

    Annalee looked at him, he had crystal blue eyes. They where beautiful and so bright they almost look like they where fact.
    "What is your name?" He asked moving the edge of the bed.
    "Annalee, but you can call me Anna. Everyone does, I dont see why you cant."
    As she looked at him he thought she was scared of him, so he moved away from her a few feet. Looking around the room she was shocked at how big it was. The bed was directly across the room from the door which was about twenty feet away. The carpet was black with a red and silver patron on it, to her left was a fire place that must be four foot tall and wide. Looking to her right there was a window that was as tall as the wall itself, the silk curtains where drawn tight. There was a desk and large char next to the bed and some more chars and a coffee table by the fire place.
    "Anna, do you remember what happened yesterday?" He was looking right at her.
    Yes she remembered how could she forget. She nodded and tried to sit up. Seeing that she was having trouble Cyrus, moving slowly, placed his hand on the back of her shoulders and helped her. He handed her a glass of water.
    "You must be thirsty. And i have the cooks making you something to eat, it will be here shortly." He looked at her she was strong and dare he think it pretty. His father would kill him for thinking like that. Cyrus's father didnt be leave in human demon relationships. Drinking the water slowly Anna took this time to gather her thoughts. When she was done he took the glass and continued talking.
    "I bout you yesterday, you will be staying here with me. Well in the room over there." He pointed to a door that she didnt see earlier.
    It was half hided behind the curtain. She nodded again then looked back to him.
    "You will only be helping me, but if my father or mother asks you to do something you must do it. But you dont have to listen to my tow younger brothers Maverick and Alton. They are younger then me and therefor can not make you do anything." He posed a moment to walk over to the desk. He picked up a necklace and sat back down on the bed. Handing it to her he continued. "This is my seal, you must wear this at all times now. People will know you are mine and not hurt you or command you. Your uniform is on your bed, your meals can be taken in here or the servants room. There is a small bathroom in your room. Do you have any questions?"
    She had hundreds of questions to ask. "Do i have to keep my door open?"
    "No there is a small bell in there that I'll ring if i need you." She was happy that she could have some privacy.
    Just then there was a knock at the door. "Come in." Cyrus said. Two demons came in waling in two small carts of food. They placed the food on the coffee table and left with ought saying a word.
    "I went to China a year ago and found that i loved sitting on the ground, now i take all my meals in here where i can do just that." He stood and offered her his hand. Not knowing if she could even stand she took his hand. He led her to one side of the table. When she was sitting he took his set on the other side ot the table. Looking at the food she say carets, pees, grilled chicken (she hopped) bred, and mashed potatoes.
    He lowered his head and whispered something to himself, then started eating. She looked up at him and for the first time noticed his teeth, they looked just like a vampires but that didnt scar her. Thoughts of her mom went through her mind, and knowing that she would never see her again made her almost cry. No I mustn't cry, I wont let him see me cry. she thought to fight back the tears.
    She started to eat, it was good she would give it that. Maybe one day she could be free.
    "So is there anything else you want to know? I find that when one is eating they are happier and more willing to talk." He said between bites.
    "What kind of work will i be doing?" The question scared her a little.
    "Mostly to keep yours and mine rooms clean, I mihgt have you do some running around for me, there will be times when i take you to meetings and have you help me with small tasks. Can you read and wright?"
    "Yes sir i can read and wright, i was at the top of my classes." She was always proud of that fact.
    "You can call me Cyrus, im not old enough to be called sir yet haha." He was smiling at her. "You will sometimes have to do things outside of the castle for me. That necklace i put on you will only come off by my hands and you can not leave the city walls with out my permission."
    There where so many rules she hoped she could keep them all in mind. When they where done eating Cyrus stood and helped her up. Anna's knees gave out and she fell knocking then both over in the shock of it.she was laying on top of him and his hand was on her back.
    "Im so sorry Cyrus, I didnt mean to fall." When she tried to get up though he stopped her.
    She was so warm and soft under his hand that when she tried to get up get up he stopped her. He could feel his heart race and he could feel hers too. They looked into each others eyes and he had to fight the urge to kiss her.
