The last thing Whumpee remembered was a bright light coming at them from seemingly nowhere. It felt like a bus when it hit them.
Whumpee squinted their eyes open. They felt drowsy from whatever was thrown at them.
'Whoever's magic that was needs to tone it down', Whumpee thought to themself, 'they must not of had proper training.'
Whumpee already felt that they were tied down with rope and black shrink wrap. A gag had been forced into their mouth, and a tube was connected to it. The tube ran partially down their throat so they could breath and eat. Without it, they would suffocate, but for the inexperienced, the gagging could be worse than suffocating.
Whumpee carefully wiggled, any panicking would make them gag. This wasn't their first time in this situation, they knew this, they were to experienced to make a mistake like panicking.
'Slave trade', Whumpee told themself after receiving a hit to their stomach, 'I'm in the blood market for the vampires.'
'This is terrifying... what if I go to someone else', Whumpee whimpered, 'at least Master makes sure we are properly cared for. Even if it's to cultivate our blood for himself.'
Humans on the purchasing block were wrapped up tightly in black shrink wrap so they couldn't see. A picture was posted of them when they first came in, and their blood was tested by several vampires in the trade so a correct description was posted for interested owners.
Whumpee had a very specific flavor in their blood. Their Master enjoyed it immensely, so Whumpee questioned how they ended up here.
'Master kills the humans he no longer wants. He doesn't resell', Whumpee thought to themself, 'they must have been watching me. Master won't be happy when they find out that I'm missing.'
Whumpee could feel hands caressing their body.
'I always hated this part', Whumpee groaned.
"Whumpee is that you?", someone whispered near Whumpee's head.
Whumpee quickly nodded.... somehow that voice seemed familiar enough. They gagged slightly from the tube.
"I thought so", the voice whispered again, "hold on, I was trying to find Tatum's branding on you, and I couldn't remember where they place it. Don't worry I'll get you out of this situation."
Whumpee felt relieved.
"Their picture of you was questionable, and I know Tatum wouldn't give you up so easily", the voice whispered, "with how much they praise your blood."
'I'd be dead if master wanted me gone', Whumpee sighed to themself.
"Excuse me", Whumpee's rescuer called over an employee, "I would like to put a hold on this one.... a friend of mine has been looking for blood like this slave's, I need to call for them."
"Yes of course", the employee nodded.
Whumpee felt arms cradle them from underneath. They were lifted and carried to a private room.
"If I may remain with them until my friend arrives. So I can make sure nothing happens to them", Whumpee heard the friend talking.
"Of course you can stay in this room... just do not remove the wrapping. In case your friend doesn't want them we won't have to rewrap them. It's harder when they're awake", Whumpee heard the person leave.
"I'm pretty sure your master wants you back. I just texted them, and they are not happy", Whumpee heard the person sigh, "I'm not leaving you like this... that tube has to be uncomfortable."
Whumpee nodded, then gagged again.
"Okay hold still."
Whumpee felt the person start cutting the wrapping away.
They were finally able to see who it was.
"Master Collin", Whumpee whispered after the gag and tube were removed.
"Yes dear", they smiled, "don't make too much noise, I don't want them coming back."
Whumpee remained in a laying down position.
"I don't know what happened", Whumpee whispered hoarsely, "I was outside to get some sunlight at Master's requests..... a bright ball of light hit me. When I woke up I was here. They used a lot of magic, I'm still drowsy."
Master Collin nodded, "these traders have been kidnapping different humans from their masters and reselling them again", they sighed, "I'm sorry I don't have any water for you. I know that tube dries you out."
"It's okay", Whumpee whispered.
"Tatum should be here shortly... I know they've been hunting you down since last night", Master Collin frowned.
Outside of the room rumors amongst the employees spread across the sale floor. A mysterious person was walking up and down every aisle.
Mysterious meant rich for most slave traders.
Master Tatum's frown deepened as he passed every human that was not Whumpee.
"I hate these places so much", Tatum complained, "this is inhumane even for lowly creatures like humans."
Tatum pulled out their phone, "I'm getting irritated. Where is my property?", they texted Collin.
"I had them brought to a private room for protection", Collin replied, "I'll open the door."
Collin opened the door and waved at Tatum.
Tatum rolled their eyes and started toward the room.
"Hello Master, can I interest you in....", a seller approached.
"No, I already know what I'm looking for... out of my way", Tatum gruffed.
"Yes I apologize", they quickly moved out of the way and watched Tatum storm off.
Tatum came into the room and saw Whumpee's state.
"They didn't waste any time preparing you for sale", Tatum frowned, "I am quite irritated seeing you like this."
"Please Master, I-I didn't do anything", Whumpee pleaded.
"I-I'm well aware", Tatum sighed, "I can smell the magic seeping off of you."
"Collin will you help me untie them?", Tatum stepped closer.
"I told you not to do that", the seller from earlier came in yelling.
Tatum turned quickly and snapped their fingers.
The seller flew back into the selling room, and Tatum stormed after them.
"You dare steal my property, then tell me what I can do with them", Tatum yelled.
Collin peaked out the door with a grin.
"What's happening?", Whumpee whispered.
"Tatum has reached their last straw. They'd burn this place down if it wasn't for the humans and innocent bystanders here", Collin chuckled.
Police had been called on Tatum's behavior, but it was quickly reversed on the slave traders.
The doors would be closed permanently on this company. All humans would be checked to ensure they were not stolen. All the others would be given to other sellers who followed more humane practices.
Whumpee was quickly returned to Tatum.
"Thankyou", Tatum looked at Collin, "I appreciate you finding them for me."
"Of course", Collin grinned, "I'm happy to help."
Tatum carried Whumpee home.
"Bed now, we will get that filthy place cleaned off of you after you've rested", Tatum frowned.
Whumpee looked down sadly.
"What?", Tatum tried to settle down. Whumpee wasn't at fault for this incident. They knew Whumpee didn't deserve their anger.
"Co-could I have something to eat.... a-and some comfort", Whumpee tried not to cry, "I tried to stay strong, but", Whumpee felt a tear sneak out, "I-I was scared."
"Yes you can have food.... you know I'm not the most comforting vampire right", Tatum glared.
"I know... b-but I'll take anything", Whumpee shook.
"Fine, let's get this over with", Tatum frowned, "let's get you some food first..... I'm guessing they never fed you then."
"No Master, Whumpee followed shyly, "unless they fed me through the tube while I was unconscious."
"I had thought you ran away when you didn't return when I called. I swore I would hunt you down. You knew the outcome for running from me. I wondered how brave you thought you were. When I came outside I smelt the magic spells used on you, and I realized you were taken", Tatum talked while they prepared a meal, "then I received Collin's message and I hurried to you", Tatum frowned, "I'm sorry", they forced out, "that should of never happened to you. I will take precautionary measures to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Whumpee smiled weakly as Tatum set a plate of food in front of them.
"Will you require a meal from me tonight as well Master?", Whumpee took a fork from Tatum, "thankyou for this food, Master."
"You're welcome... you may eat", Tatum sat at the table.
"As for a few days, I'll feed from the others. This way you have time to recover. Your blood won't taste good to me from the stress you were put through. I'll feed when I feel you're ready."
Whumpee choked.
"Slow down, you are over filling your mouth", Tatum warned.
"I'm sorry my throat is still sore from the tube", Whumpee looked at the plate, "plus this is delicious."
"Good", Tatum sighed, "let's get you cleaned up next.... then I will attempt to comfort you... I guess you deserve something for your trials."
Whumpee was taken into the bathroom, a different blood slave helped them bathe.
"Yeah, Master came into the kitchen and saw us eating, and they asked where you were. None of us knew, so they called for you", they talked with each other, "we were scared when you didn't return, then Master was ticked. Out of all of us you were the least likely to run from Master."
Whumpee nodded, "I would never dare such a thing, they would kill me. You wouldn't be truly free, constantly looking over your surroundings until the inevitable happened and Master came for you. With the bounty on my blood, they'd probably leave me in the dungeon and feed on me when they wanted."
"Probably", the other smiled, "in complete honesty, I don't even think Master is as bad as they could be. So what if they feed off of us, Master does it to survive, they have a right to survive as well. Master never hurts us unless we deserve it. We are well taken care of, and they don't over feed. There are five blood slaves all together."
"Plus they are a good cook", Whumpee laughed, "I know the care they put into us is to ensure our blood is of the best quality for them. I don't know many owners who put that much effort into their humans. Though we are fairly expendable for Master, it's still nice to be taken care of "
"I'm glad you both find me to be a good master", Tatum stood by the door and chuckled as the two jumped.
Whumpee and the other looked down shyly and tried to hide their embarrassment.
"No please continue saying good things about me. I've been listening for the last few minutes", Tatum came into the bathroom, "truly I am happy to know that at least two of you like me, and don't plan on running away. I at least know who I don't have to watch as strictly."
"You protect us Master", Whumpee looked up slowly, "why would we want to run?"
Tatum turned, "hurry and finish, unless you feel this was comforting enough. You are at least smiling now. Do you still require me to care for you?", Tatum frowned.
"You don't have to if you don't want to", Whumpee whispered, "but I would appreci...."
"Good", Tatum quickly left the bathroom and down the hall.
"I guess you aren't getting any hugs from Master tonight."
"I-I guess not", Whumpee sighed.
Whumpee tossed and turned half the night, nightmares and discomfort gnawed at them.
They sat up in bed and looked around.
"My throat hurts so bad, and these covers feel like I'm tied up again", Whumpee looked at their hands, "I wonder where Master is."
Whumpee got up and grabbed their teddy, then quietly left their shared bedroom.
After a few minutes, they found Tatum by the fire reading.
"Why are you awake?", Tatum didn't look up.
"Nightmares and discomfort Master", Whumpee stood in the doorway, "ma-may I have comfort now... please."
Tatum sighed, "it's not my specialty to be comforting that's why I have six..", Tatum caught themself. They had just killed one of the slaves for not obeying and breaking rules, "five of you to comfort each other."
"Please, even if it's your hand on my shoulder, it would help", Whumpee's voice cracked as they tried not to cry. They held their throat, "it still hurts Master."
"I've already asked for the doctor to come by and check on you. Collin reminded me of a few things they would have done to you. They will be by tomorrow", Tatum sighed, "well if you must, you must... come here then."
Whumpee quickly walked to the couch and sat beside Tatum.
Tatum awkwardly rested their hand on Whumpee's shoulder and then went back to reading.
"You are safe now", Tatum forced themself to say, "I assure you that will not happen again."
"Thankyou Master", Whumpee whispered.
"Ymhmm", Tatum hummed.
Whumpee started to grow tired sitting there.
They closed their eyes and absent-mindedly laid down; their head now on Tatum's leg.
"Whumpee I didn't agree to this", Tatum tried to lift Whumpee off, but Whumpee was out.
"Great now what?", Tatum sighed and looked at Whumpee awkwardly, "I'm only allowing this, so you'll sleep... do you hear me?"
They rested their hand on Whumpee's shoulder again and went back to reading.
Tatum's slaves required a full eight hours of sleep every night for their blood quality. Either Tatum had to wake Whumpee and mess with their already destroyed sleep schedule, or deal with Whumpee laying there until morning.
"At least no one else will see this", Tatum whispered.
Tatum saw movement at the doorway a while later.
"Now why are you up?", Tatum complained, "no humans should be awake in my household."
"I'm sorry Master, I saw Whumpee was away from their bed... I was going to check on them", the slave smiled when they saw Whumpee, "I see you got them."
"Yes I do, and if you say anything about this to anyone I will tear out your throat. Am I clear?", Tatum threatened.
"Yes of course Master... we wouldn't want anyone to think you have softened for something lowly like a human", the slave prodded.
"Go back to bed... now", Tatum ordered, "take your sarcasm with you."
Taglist. As always please let me know if you want to be added or taken off the list. It's not a problem at all.
