Vampire's Plaything Ch. 02

Two years later, laws were passed, and owners freed their slaves. Yes, he was such a selfish man, especially when Josephine spoke of seeing the world, exploring her freedom, as she put it. They had grown apart, and it killed him.

Father had fallen ill, and Josephine lingered at DuBourg manner to continue caring for him, until Jacques convinced him to free her. The two had grown quite fond of one another, and Alain found himself becoming jealous, of his own father. Other memories entered his mind and he hissed again. He'd been made a fool of. He clenched his fists until his nails drew blood.

Now, he held her in the palm of his hand. There was so much he could do to exact his revenge on her. At first, he was going to kill her, but now, seeing how she treasured certain things in her mortal life, he decided on alienating her from that which she treasured the most.

Yes, revenge was indeed a dish best served cold, Alain thought as he plummeted into the sleep of the vampire.
