I belong to no one...right?
A/N:Ok so I've been told the first chapter is confusing and scattered, I think. I would like people to elaborate more on the topic. So more reviews please and if I wasn't lazy I would go and fix the first chapter but for now I'll just give a short summary: Leviathan is a vampire who has loved no one for 500 years but he's known to take on familiars [People who he kept alive after drinking their blood. By having his saliva mix in with their human blood they have grown attached and devoted to the vampire and even if they wanted couldn't find themselves leaving the ancient being. I'll explain it more as the story progresses] After feeding on a human which was sacrificed to him by his familiars he decides to go out. By doing so he bumps into a strange man who suddenly is taken in by his model look and begins to drag him off to some agency while completely ignoring the teens protest. For some reason the mind trick he usually uses to grab his victims doesn't seem to work on the clueless human. Unable to break free from the mans grip he now has to deal with more strange people that are bent on making his current life more lively they he expected. Ok end of summary. God I suck at summaries. Anyway review more please.
I belong to no one...right?
Being dragged off to some random sky scrapper by some random guy was not something the vampire happened to find the time to jot down on his daily planner. Oh no, yes he did. It came right after Bingo with the girls on Tuesday, not! The vampire thought coldly as he looked down at the hand that still gripped his wrist. He bite his bottom lip tentatively and due to the anger that pricked through his skin his fangs pressed deep into his fleshy lip wanting so bad to sink into this males throat and quiet his pitiful existence. For now though he let himself be dragged stubbornly to the front desk at the lobby. As the man chatted with the lady behind it, Leviathan took the time to look around at his surroundings, he might be able to find a good escape route. Testing the tightness of the others hand on his wrist he snapped his arm back but was completely unsuccessful as the man barely respond to the gesture. Instead the vampire just manged to give himself whiplash as pain shot through the joints of his shoulder. Was this man human? The thought had the teen pushing air through his lips mockingly as he continued his observations of the place. Of course he was. He could smell the stench of human all over his worthless being, and matter of fact he could smell it all around him. His mouth would of watered at all the possibilities if he was not ticked off as hell about what just happened to him. He should of just stayed with the others.
Leviathan sighed as he took in the people rushing in and out even though it was night. He frowned. Busy place,huh? the male scuffed as his eyes lifted up just to blink at the disappearing ceiling. He blinked some more and gasped. Not much surprised the vampire but the way the building was built was quite astonishing. The ceiling seemed to be lost in the building, he wouldn't be surprised if clouds began to take form the higher the building rose. To the side, the walls were made of glass and you could see everyone walking the halls, darting in and out of offices. Even the offices themselves seemed to be more open. The glass wasn't clear like the rest of the place but you could still see the blurred shadows of the people that occupied them. No privacy it seemed. That must be a bummer, the vampire thought quietly and cocked a slim brow. He could see everyone smiling and speaking happily to one another as they rushed about, stilettos and shoes clanking on the marble floors. Who were these people? Stanford wives of the working class?. The vampire averted his gaze from the happy people as a quick shudder rippled through his skin. All and all the modern look of the building made him feel open as hell and quite frankly just gave him the got damn chills. A quick tug brought the teen back and he unconsciously glared up at his unwanted companion.
"What the fuck do you want? Finally come to your senses and decided to let me go?" The teen asked suggestively through clenched teeth.
The taller male smiled and laughed lightly before speaking up." Well no. Just wanted to tell you will be taking the elevator up to the top floor. Lucian is waiting for us. Oh and rather then asshole you can can call me Dante." He smiled abit more and Leviathan swore his eyes twinkled.
The teen coughed,shivered and averted his blue eyes elsewhere trying to see where this elevator was. He didn't catch it the first time looking around but soon spotted it across on the right side of the square. How it manged to evade him the first time he did not know, seeing how the thing was in plain view, just like everything else. Every extension cord was visible and you could see how the whole thing worked. If Alex was around he would of whistled approvingly and dragged Max and himself to check it out talking nerd crap which the vampire and his other familiar fainted curiosity before Leviathan just lost his temper and told the youth to shove his thoughts of the functions of electronics up his ass before storming off. Usually when the young vampire didn't understand things violence was the place he first retreated to. 500 years of life did nothing to mature his attitude to life. To other vampires he might still be considered a child and it didn't help that he stopped aging at 17 and barely broke the 6 foot height barrier. Alex seemed to tower over him at 6'4 and Max was just over 6'1. Leviathan had to battle to keep his height over Millie but it was no problem since she stopped growing once she hit 5'8 but the fact that they still saw eye to eye really bugged the vampire and the amusement that crossed his familiars faces did nothing to calm his nerves.
The teen frowned as he considered what to do. If he just ignored this man and escaped the minute he let go of him what would he do then? Just wander the streets bored as hell as he walked about complaining of the lack of entertainment? or should he just go and check the place out? The guy mentioned something about modeling. He nibbled at his lip as he considered his options and looked up at the man who called himself Dante.
"When you say modeling you mean for a painting or something?...." The teens voice drifted as a confused expression distorting his features.
Dante responded with a mirrored look of confusion as he leaned back making himself seem taller then before. He ran a thumb over the stubble's that spread across his chin examining the youth as if he asked the most fascinating question ever. Did Leviathan hear himself wrong and questioned the existence of the 10 commandments? This guy definitely had issues and he was disappointed he actually considered following this guy to see this Lucian dude. It wasn't his fault if he had no fucking idea what this man was talking about. Unfortunately the vampire didn't keep up with the latest fashions and ignored Millie when she started jabbering about all the latest crap she bought and how excited she was when blah and blah finally got together. He once even burned her magazines so he could start a fire, the warehouse had no working electricity so imagine the winters! When the female found out she just shrieked and mourned the loss in some corner debating if she should just end her life. Leviathan was clueless when it came to sensitive situations and only cursed her out and told her if ending her life will shut her the fuck up then fucking do it. Then he ranted on about how pathetic the human existence was and that it was no problem finding a worthless human to replace her even more worthless ass. Which lead Max to shake his head at the vampire and console his girlfriend in a even farther corner. They both ignored him for over a month and refused him when he needed to feed. Leaving him to feast on more humans then he usually would. Alex offered to double his shift but the vampire refused since the quality of blood would thin out if he drank to much and he hated thin blood. It was like drinking flat soda.
The vampire bristled at the memories thinking all of that happened over fucking pieces of paper!! He was way to nice on those damn kids and they didn't even treat him as a master, it was more like hanging with friends. He knew it was odd but for some reason that's how things developed and the vampire did nothing to strike real fear into their eyes. Maybe it was age softening him up. Dante talked through his memories and the teen stared up at him before squinting in confusion.
"What?" the teen asked blinking up at the man.
"I said no. Modeling is not some painting. Its photography. We photograph for art and fashion. In this business we explore the human body and shape." The man sighed as he scratched at his scalp. He didn't think his explanation really caught the meaning behind modeling. People seemed to take it for granted thinking its just pretty pictures of skinny people but it way more and putting it into words did it no justice. He looked down at the teen who still looked up at him questioningly and smiled as he laughed lightly.
" You'll understand it in due time. For now lets get going before Lucy pops a blood vessel.....also don't tell him I called him Lucy he'll have my head and jam it on some stake so he could place it on display in the cafeteria as some example to keep us peasants in line."The man laughed nervously as he lead them to the elevator finally releasing the vampire from his grasp. He pressed the button on the side and the doors opened up immediately inviting them in. Dante stepped in and turned to cock his head to the side and smile at the teen welcoming.
"Fucking issues, I swear...." Leviathan rubbed his heated wrist and stepped inside the elevator mumbling quietly to himself as the doors closed and shot them up.
The teen yelped and clutched at the handicap bar stationed behind him as his insides seemed to jump up at the sudden change in gravitation. The scenery beyond the glass of the elevator was blurred as they quickly climbed the many floors. He tore his eyes from the sickening scene and started at the lit numbers as they continued to increase in value with each ding that rang through his brain. Ugh he'll take the stairs next time. He had great stamina so it should be no prob--
45,46,47,48....78,79,80......103
The vampires eyes widened to saucers as he gaped at the 3 digit numbers. Are you fucking kidding me?! He turned to look at the calm Dante beside him who seemed to rock back and forth on his heels before glancing down at his watch casually.
"What is wrong with you?! How many fucking floors are there?!" The vampires voice cracked as his knuckles turned white from clutching the bar so tightly.
"Mm 232? It should say on one of the panels." The man answered curiously as he pointed to one of many button panels. There came one last ding and the elevator came to a silent and pleasant stop as the doors rang open. "Ah we're here! That was a quick trip~"
Leviathan only stared at the man as he smiled and stepped out of the elevator gesturing the teen to do the same. It would of took 10 people to pry his fingers from that bar if the elevators doors didn't make the sound of readying to close. It only took that small ring to have the vampire bolting out the elevator as if he were a cat who was just squirted with a water gun. The loss of the bar from his fingers pained him and it took alot of painful clenching and unclenching exercises to get blood to flow through his fingers and knuckles. His fingers prickled and tingled as he rubbed his hands together his eyes taking the place in.
The floor looked just like the other floors if not more elaborate and decorate. If he was not mistaken it was definitely bigger too. What the hell was this place? He never even asked for the name, well it wasn't like he came here on his own accord. He blinked lightly as he saw that unlike the other floors this place wasn't as open. The walls were not made of glass but actual walls and the vampire let himself relax abit. He hated being in such open space. Everyone they passed didn't give off that Standford wife vibe the other drones did below them so that was great. What was up with those people? He frowned as he stared at Dante's back as they walked down the long hall. The man was dressed casually. White button down, dark blue jeans, and loafers. He even sported a normal sports messenger bag which pressed to his side. He had to be an inch or two taller then Alex. Leviathan frowned. Just great another tall freak. His eyes darted up for a second to see the golden curls that hugged the man's neck and curled around his pierced ears. Hm he definitely looked good, not that Leviathan was much of a judger. He didn't look at guys often, neither girls unless he was looking to feed. Leviathan cocked his head to the side he couldn't even remember the last time he had sex let alone liked someone. The male shrugged and cleared his voice as he picked up his pace so he could match the monstrous steps the other seemed to be taking. Fuck he was like a Chihuahua trying to keep up with a Great Dane.
"Leviathan." At the confused look the man gave him the vampire rolled his eyes." My name. Its Leviathan since you told me yours I thought its only right..." the teen's voice drifted not wanting to really speak much.
"Leviathan,huh? The name really matches you." He laughed lightly then cocked a brow at the smaller male before baring his crocked smile." You have split Personality Leviathan?"
Dante just laughed harder as he turned shaking his head and handed a pretty blonde secretary a card which she examined, smiled, and handed the man a new card. He turned and placed the card around the teens neck. His crocked smile which could be considered cute if the look in the blonde eyes and any other chick eyes meant anything and ruffled the teens hair as if he was some child. Leviathan clenched his jaw and kept himself from lunging at the human by closing his fists and holding them tightly to his side. Dante swiped his own card and pushed the door open as he spoke.
"Nothing really. Was just asking. Well we're going to be meeting Lucian now so be on your best behavior ok?" Dante teased catching onto the teen's irritation whenever he treated him like a child.
"Fuck you asshole." the teen retorted through clenched teeth as they walked passed a small waiting room.
Dante knocked a few on the door and a muffled voice spoke for them to enter. The vampire followed the asshole in as he wondered why he had to meet this guy anyway? He definitely should of went home and he didn't understand how much he should of went home until it was to late. Dante stepped aside and cocked his head to the desk urging the teen to come closer.
"Well Lucian look at what I found in the streets~ Our ray of light!" Dante spoke cheerfully quite enjoying the look of pure hatred emitting from the teen's very core as he stared daggers at the blonde man. Dante bite his lips to keep from laughing and looked over at Lucian for some back up."What do you think Lucy?"
"What did I tell you about calling me Lucy? You're really looking for a death wish you pathetic mongrel." The tone was cold and seemed seeped with poor anger. It even made the ancient and sadistic Leviathan cringe and shiver.
Who was this man? The teen reluctantly raised his blue hues to look at the man who sat behind the huge desk, his hands were folded beneath his chin as piercing gold orbs stared right into his own. The man fed off a aura of pure dominance as if telling everyone they were below him. His skin was a rich tan, like melted caramel and his raven hair sat long and braided against his chest, so long it disappeared behind the wooden surface of the desk. Unlike Dante he wore a clean cut suit, and Leviathan could tell no one mistook him for any average individual if he were to ever be caught wandering the streets. Plus that ridiculously conceited smirk that seemed to appear when their eyes met had the vampire fuming. The teen swallowed not liking the feeling he got from this Lucian jerk and anger pooled deep in the vampires belly. Yeah it was time to go home. This man's scent was affecting him in ways he couldn't understand. He didn't reek of human but it didn't really seem the man was of vampire lineage either and like hell he'll be looked down at by this conceited ass.
As if reading the teens mind the man behind the desk stood placing his hands down on wooden surface, the tip of his braid hovering over the desk slightly. He moved his gaze from Leviathan and looked over at Dante with a irritated frown. Dante frowned lightly faking hurt at the cold expression directed at him.
"Whats with the cold look? I promise not to call you Lucy again,ne~" Dante cupped his hands pressing it to his lips as he gave the man puppy eyes which was recived with a low growl.
"Get out Dante. You're a hinder to my very eyes." Lucian's tone had changed to one of tiredness as he rubbed at his temples his dark brows knitting over shut eyes. It was weird how the male's whole demeanor changed. He still had that air of dominance and cockiness but his voice was no longer seeping with evil intentions.
Leviathan body relaxed but he still didn't like the man. He never thought he say this but he rather have Dante around him then this guy, there was just something about him that made the teen nervous. He didn't even want to get to know him but he couldn't deny how the man looked. Thinking about it made the vampire flush as he nibbled at his bottom lip. Che. He must being going crazy if he found this man attractive in anyway. The sound of someone moving caught the vampire's attention and he saw the raven haired man step from behind the desk so he could lean infront of it slightly. After giving the teen a small glance he turned and reached for a black eye case that sat close to a stack of papers. He lifted the case and ran his thumb beneath the ridge as he flicked his finger sending the top popping back. He pulled from the velvety confinement a pair of black rimmed frames which he anchored on the bridge of his nose before pushing them up with his middle finger. The gesture was far from rude and it didn't give off the feel of a nerdy trait. Instead the vampire found the added spectacles appealing and thought they only added onto the man's already sexy features and body. Leviathan's face flushed and he swallowed the hard lump that built at the center of his throat. Did he just refer to the man as SEXY?! Dante's insanity was beginning to rub off on him and he had only met the annoying bugger! Wait.... Leviathan let his blue sapphires dart from one corner of the room to the other but only two bodies occupied the room and Dante was not one of them. His pupils dilated in horror, Dante was nowhere around! The space he occupied was empty and cold. Did the bastard go ninja on me and fucking abandoned me with this crazy ass stranger?! That son of a bitch! The vampire mumbled curses beneath his breath as he fumed over being left without a word when a clear cough cut through the silent air. The teen could not help but flinch at the sudden sound and he pressed nails into the flesh of his palms, angry that he continued to slip up and show weakness infront of this man. He didn't like the affect the person had on him at all. All he wanted to do was slip out and escape back to his hideout so he could pretend none of this had happened, but rather then making a run for the door he raised his eyes kinda taken back by the huge man before him.
When he meant huge. He meant HUGE. He was about the same height as Dante but if you were to place them next to one another there was no comparison. It was like the man was carved from stone. Tanned perfection. He could just imagine the chiseled body beneath the suit, the strong wide shoulders and slim waist. Even imagine the man stepping from the shower a towel tied around his lower pelvis. Streams of water running and rippling across the man's caramel abs, the slightest move sending the man's muscles flexing beneath the soft flesh, or the rough pads of the man's finger tips tracing the outline of your jaw just before his thumb brushed gently against your lips as you fought the urge to part them so you could take in his fin---
The vampire looked up into golden hues which seemed to be closer then before, strange....and what was that earthy but delicious smell?
All lust fell away from the teens fogged hues and his lids shot back. He slapped the man's hand away as his own raised to wipe at his lips vigorously. The raven haired man just chuckled as he rested his palms on the surface of his desk and leaned back crossing his foot over the other. Leviathan was caught fucking day dreaming about this fucker! He was caught lusting over some human guy he doesn't even know and the man dared to take advantage and touch him! He could still feel the rough texture of the man's thumb against his lips and the earthy smell still lingered around him. Leviathan flushed a scarlet red as he back closer into the door as he ignored the heated pressure that pressed his jeans, his jaws clenched as tears pricked the corner of his eyes.
"Asshole! What the fuck did you do to me?!" the vampire yelled. He couldn't believe it. He was actually close to tears. He was acting like some small child who had his fucking lollipop snatched away. What was his problem? Lucian only shrugged and smirked lightly as he adressed him.
"I didn't do a damn thing. I was going to explain the procedure of what was required of a possible model when you began panting at me. You looked cute as a puppy so I couldn't resist. I wanted so bad to give the pup what he wanted." The man replied teasingly his voice taking a lusty undertone. Golden eyes washed over the boy as if the man was slowly stripping him with just a gaze as he spoke again. "Im not sure I want to share you with the public though. Maybe I should give credit to Dante for finding such a catch. The dimwit did me some good, finally. To find a vampire just walking around. How lucky...."
Leviathan no longer glared at the man as his eyes widened, his stomach giving a nervous jolt. How did this man know what he was? Did he open his mouth? Could he see his fangs? What the fuck?! If this man knew what he was then it was over for him. Vampires were rare now after being hunted down and either killed or sold off to some fat rich fucker who wanted to fuck us like sex toys in the past. He swallowed thinking back on it. He was present to see his only sister drugged blinded and whisked away to be auctioned off to the highest bidder and like hell if he was gonna become some asshole's fucking sex slave!! He was his own person and he didn't hide out in some fucking condemned building cause he fucking loved how the mold and spider webs complemented the rusted colors of the walls! He was avoiding being found out. He even kept fewer familiars then he usually would since he knew vampire traders still lived till this time. If he was alive of course they would be too, until they had no more fucking vampires to sell off and profit from, and now that we're rare they've become more persistent to catch us.
The vampire growled as he backed up trying to find the knob of the door so he could sprint out quickly. Was he a trader?! What fucking luck! It was strange though how the male took no attempt to stop the teen from searching for the door knob well of course until he tried to twist it and open it. Then in a swift moment the boy was knocked into the man's couch as the door made a small clicking sound as it locked itself. The teen stared at the magic door and rubbed at the back of his head as he re directed his attention to the man who called Lucian. He was still leaning against his desk unmoved except he had shifted his face so he was looking at the teen sprawled along the couch. The man sighed and pushed off his perch as he came to loom over the vampire.
"So quick to leave? But we've just met. Atleast tell me your name before dashing out and leaving to be alone." Lucian frowned as he tucked his hands into his pants pocket a sad look softening his features.
Leviathan stared at the man in pure shock, his heart racing and thumping loudly against his chest. This person was anything but human! The problem is he isn't a vampire either. So what is he?!
