*****

When I woke, I couldn’t even tell if it was morning, because there were no windows to let in the light. I rolled over and looked at the clock. It was almost nine in the morning. I never, ever, slept that late. Even on vacation days from school or during the summer, I still woke up at the butt crack of dawn to go for my run and train.

I pulled back the covers and sat up on the edge of the bed. I wondered what I was supposed to do all day. I assumed Trevor would be asleep, being a vampire and all. I picked out an outfit to wear and then hurried to the bathroom. After I’d showered and dressed in jeans and a plain black tee-shirt, I wandered into the sitting room and immediately smelled food. A quick glance around the room proved there was, to my surprise, an entire breakfast sitting on the little table in the corner of the room. On closer inspection, I saw an omelet, hash browns, a bowl of fruit, coffee and orange juice. My stomach rumbled, and I realized the long rest overnight had stirred up my appetite.

“I hope you like it.”

“Ahhhh!” I jumped back and reached for my gun—that wasn’t there—on instinct. When I realized it was Alice who had spoken, I put my hand on my heart and released a big sigh. “Jeez, Alice. You scared me!”

“I’m so sorry.” She held out a little dish with toast on it. “Please, don’t tell Mr. Trevor I scared you so badly. I was just getting the toast off the cart over there.”

I was still catching my breath from the scare. “Don’t worry. I won’t tell Mr. Trevor. You didn’t do anything wrong. I was just surprised; that’s all.” I pulled out the chair and sat. “Would you sit and have coffee with me?”

She shook her head quickly. “Oh, no. I couldn’t.”

“Why not?”

“Uhm… I just… I—I don’t think I’m supposed to. I’m just the help.”

“Well you’re not just 'the help' to me.” I pointed at the chair across from me. “Sit,” I ordered.

She smiled shyly and sat.

“Well, now, that’s more like it.” I handed her the coffee mug and took the orange juice for myself. “Tell me about this place, Alice.”

“What would you like to know?”

“I want to know everything. Do you like it here?”

She shrugged. “I don’t really know much else any more."

"How long have you been here?" I asked her.

"Since I was thirteen.”

I set my orange juice down so hard it sloshed over the sides. “Wow. And how old are you now?”

“I am twenty two. Mr. Trevor found me sleeping in a rest room at a bus station. He asked me if I wanted a better life, asked what I was willing to give up for that better life. Then he brought me home.”

For a moment, I wondered if her blood was the only thing she had given up.

“Are you happy here?” I leaned in, speaking softly.

“Like I said, Miss, I don’t really know much else any more.
