As she probably should have suspected, her slap didn't go quite as planned. Within seconds, he had her pinned to the wall, hands above her head in his iron-like grip. "No!" She cried out, thrashing against him yet trying at the same time not to touch his bare skin. She even went so far as to make her body go limp, hoping he'd at least drop her, but he didn't let go. Hanging by her wrists hurt like hell, so she pushed herself back up with her good foot and looked at him with pleading eyes. "Please, please, just let us go." She whispered, unable to stop a single tear from falling.

Turning her head away from him, she jerked away as he buried his face in her neck, crying out again as he threatened to taste her. Though she'd never been big on the supernatural, she knew vampire lore. Who didn't? Garlic, crosses, sunlight, fire. Usually the lore was the same, except for little things here and there. The biggest thing, though, was what they survived on: blood. Horrified, she realized too late that this party had been nothing more than a lure for her, as well as Madi and the other humans.

"Monsters." She whispered, turning her head back to peer up at him. "You're all monsters!" She screamed at him, trying once again to wrench herself free from his grip.

Carter frowned as she finally answered him, though it wasn't any of the questions he really wanted her to answer. "A t-shirt and jeans? That's more of Maggie's style, but I can guarantee she won't let you touch any of her things. She's quite the bitch, you see." At his own words he laughed, as though they were having the most casual conversation in the world. "I really do wish you'd at least tell me your name, though. If you don't, I guess I get to pick, right? That how it works?"

Pursing his lips, he peered down at her, seeming to get lost in thought. "Jennifer." He finally spoke, nodding. After a second he scoffed and shook his head. "Too plain. Ah, well. We have all the time in the world to figure out your name, right?" Laughing again, he spun her to face Eli and Arianna, the former of whom had the latter pressed against the wall. "I do also hope that you'll learn to cooperate with us. It'll make life so much easier."

He trailed off, then spoke again. "Besides, it's no fun to compel you to do as we say. Then what's the point? I can find a brainless slave anywhere. I like the fight." Lowering his voice, he placed his hand on her hip, giving it a small squeeze. "And maybe once you see that we're not so bad, you'll come to terms with being here. Til we move on to the next place, anyway. Then you'll just come with us."

Madeleine

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

Annoyance soon began to join the feelings of fear mixing within her. This man sure wasn't about to give up anytime soon, was he? Madeleine rolled her eyes a little as he mentioned a Maggie, apparently someone who wouldn't let her borrow her clothes. "If you're going to keep us here, the least you could do is get me a t-shirt and sweatpants, asshole," the girl muttered angrily, resuming her glaring at Carter as she spoke. Though still scared, she was beginning to grow angry and if this man kept poking at her, it wouldn't take long for her to completely burst into a fire-filled rage.

But he continued on before she could get much further with that anger. And what he was saying next only served to add to her annoyance. God, she really didn't want to give him her name. But it would surely irritate her beyond belief if she had to put up with him calling her something that wasn't her real name. "It's fucking Madeleine, okay?" She bit out just as he spun her around again, this time to face Elliot and Arianna. When she noticed the way the other vampire had her friend pinned up against the wall, however, she stiffened.

"Let her go!" Madi immediately demanded, just before she felt a hand land on her hip. A whimper left her mouth at that and she tried to lean as far away from his body as she could. It sent disgusted shivers running down her spine to feel his hands on her like this. "We're not going anywhere with you!" She snapped angrily. Then, before she could think twice, she spat in his face, hoping it would provide her with a few seconds to slip from his grasp.

Elliot

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

The woman's thrashing and struggling were a piece of cake for Elliot to handle. He didn't budge as she continued, his hands keeping her pinned against the wall as if she weighed no more than a sheet of paper. With that injured ankle, though, he knew her struggles would be futile. She wasn't going anywhere. "Awe, darling, you see... If you cooperate, I won't have to hold you down like this," he cooed to her as she pleaded with him, his eyes searching hers as a single tear fell down her cheek.

Lifting one hand, Eli lightly brushed it away for her, his touch feather light despite the obvious strength that lay within him. After all, he didn't really want to hurt her. Not that she would believe him if he said so. When Carter spoke up a few moments later, Eli lifted his face from her neck and grinned widely, throwing a glance at his brother over his shoulder. "Mhm, you hear that, love? You're not going anywhere," he told the young woman in his arms, his gaze returning to meet hers.

Then the vampire cocked a brow. "Now, we should take care of that ankle of yours, I think. Then get you all cleaned up. We can't have you two sitting around in bloodstained clothes, can we? Surely that's not comfortable." He flashed a grin, showing off his fangs, before he swept Arianna into his arms. He wasn't about to make her walk to the couch after all. He wasn't that mean. A moment later, he set her down on the couch and smirked. "So here's the deal. I can heal your ankle in seconds. All you have to do is drink a little bit of either my or Carter's blood. I'll leave the option up to you, beautiful," he murmured, raising a brow as he sat across from her on the edge of the coffee table, chin propped up on his elbow that rested on his knee.

Feeling hot tears well up in her eyes, Arianna ceased her struggles and slumped back against the wall. She could barely see the rest of the room through her clouded eyes, but she could hear Madi's whimpers and noises coming from the other side of the room. She wanted so badly to help the girl, even though she couldn't even help herself. Cursing herself and her damned suggestion to explore the beautiful home, she slowly turned her head away as he wiped her tear away. Fighting to keep the rest of the liquid in her eyes and not on her face, she sniffled and drew in a shaky breath.

Carter's words caused her entire body to tremble, and another soft whimper escaped her lips. So it was confirmed-- they weren't getting out. She'd never see her father again. And Madi... she'd never see her family again. Who did she have at home? Who would be waiting for her to get there, only to grow worried as she didn't show? The thought sickened her, but not nearly as much as what came next. She couldn't help but look in his direction as he brought up her ankle, sweeping her off her feet again only to turn and speed towards the couch.

He set her down and she immediately pulled her legs up underneath of her, looking between the two vampires and her newfound friend. A horrified expression overtook her fearful one as Eli spoke, and she immediately shook her head. "T-that's not h-happening." She spoke through her shakes, stumbling over her words a little. "My ankle is f-fine." Swallowing heavily, she glanced over at Madi just in time to see the girl spit in Carter's face, and her jaw dropped. Glancing over at Eli, she took the opportunity to kick at him with her good leg.

Carter couldn't help but grin down at her, happy to see that he was finally getting through to her. "Don't worry, princess." He brushed some hair out of her eyes, pulling her close again to hug her. "I'll get you whatever your heart desires." Part of him was being sarcastic, although another part of him really thought he might. She's gotta be at least a little happy, or else he might as well keep her in a cage. But he'd meant what he said; he could show her that he wasn't such a bad guy, if she just gave him a chance. Unless she wanted the bad guy, in which case, he'd be happy to oblige.

"Madeleine, hmm?" He purred her name, voice low and sultry as he whispered into her ear. He felt her stiffen when he turned her around, though he remained quiet as Eli commented on Ari's ankle. Within seconds, the blonde was deposited on the couch, Eli sitting across from her. Again, he turned he and Madeleine around, not planning on releasing her even though her friend was right there. In fact, to make it clear, he took them a step backwards.

When she spit in his face, Carter had to admit that he didn't see it coming. His good mood and demeanor gone, he automatically reached up to wipe the saliva away, giving her the leeway she needed to get out of his arms. He thought he heard something else, a thump coming from Ari's side of the couch, but he wasn't sure as he wiped at his eyes with the sleeve of his shirt he hadn't fully removed yet. "Fucking bitch!"

Madeleine

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

After the way Carter had hugged her close and then proceeded to purr her name into her ear, he definitely deserved getting spat on. He was a creepy, good for nothing vampire, and right now, he was keeping her and her friend trapped here, holding them against their wills. The least he deserved was getting spit in the face. The moment the man reached up to wipe the saliva from his face, she yanked herself out of his grasp, body tumbling sideways as her heel caught on the carpet. With a curse, she managed to right herself, then turned to rush to Ari's side.

It was then she realized that the blonde had kicked Elliot rather hard in the shin, providing the dark haired girl with enough of a distraction to grab her friend and pull her to her feet. "C'mon!" She urged, desperate tears racing down her cheeks as she tried to rush Arianna towards the door. She was clearly in a panic, unable to think straight. If she'd considered her plan for even a second, she would have realized how stupid it was. Not only were they in a room with two vampires (who had no troubles with speed), but the front door was locked. They were trapped here. Escape was simply not an option.

But Madi could only think about one thing and that was getting out of here. Unfortunately for her, she wasn't strong enough to sling her friend over her shoulder or carry her in any which way, and she quickly realized it would be impossible for Ari to run with her ankle in such a state. They'd barely made it a few feet as it was and the girl could tell her friend was in pain. Faltering, she let out a soft whimper, her hands still grasping Arianna's arm.

Elliot

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

The disgust and pure horror on the blonde's face had been completely expected. Elliot was in no way surprised, but that didn't stop the slight amusement he got from her reaction. "Oh, hon, I really don't think that ankle is fine. Look at it, it's swollen and bruised, and you can hardly put any weight on it when you stand," he pointed out, his voice a tad more serious than usual.

Unfortunately, however, he couldn't attempt to convince her any further, for the next second, she was suddenly kicking him hard in the shin. A hiss of slight pain and mostly irritation escaped his mouth as he flew to his feet, anger replacing the earlier amusement that had been present in his eyes. "What the fuck?" He growled out at the blonde, just before overhearing his brother curse as well. Despite his better judgement, he glanced over at the other vampire with furrowed brows, only to see him wiping his face with the sleeve of his shirt. For a brief moment, he couldn't help laughing. Carter had just gotten spit in the face.

When Elliot turned his head back to the girl on the couch, he realized she was no longer sitting. In fact, both girls were several feet away, clearly attempting to make a break for it. At first, Eli stepped forward to go after them, but then he thought the better of it. Where would those two actually go? The door was locked, they were two stories up, and they were in a room with two very capable vampires. Oh, he'd love to see the two try to escape, but he knew very well that it was simply impossible. "Going somewhere, ladies?" He questioned, raising a brow as he smirked at them in amusement.

Already mentally prepared for her kick to not connect, surprise coursed through her as she felt her foot connect with his shin. Eli hissed in pain, and before she could react Madi was by her side, hoisting her up. Escape. The word rang through her brain and gave her a second wind. Up she went with Madi, ignoring the pain that ricocheted through her body when she tried to put weight on her bad ankle. Grinding her teeth together, she readjusted and tried to hop off that foot as quickly as possible, wanting to move them along towards the door.

The locked door. Just as the thought crossed her mind, Eli's voice sounded out from behind them. She and Madi stopped, and Arianna sank to the ground, releasing Madi so as to not drag her down with her. The tears were falling heavily from her eyes now, silent sobs causing her shoulders to heave as her back remained to the two vampires behind them. She didn't want to be here; she wanted to go home. Look at what her one night of freedom and fun has cost her. Madi, too.

Gathering her composure, Arianna turned her head to look up at the girl beside her. She wanted to apologize, to say sorry for taking everything from her. But even as she tried, no words came out. Twisting a little more to look over her shoulder, she saw the anger on Carter's face, and felt fear trickle down her spine. Eli was smirking at them, though somehow, that seemed a little more dangerous. Shivering, she turned back to stare at the door across the room, knowing without a doubt they wouldn't have made it anyway. "No." She whispered, quietly answering Eli's question.

Anger flooded Carter's entire body. Had Madi not stepped away from him to grab Arianna in a futile attempt at escape, he might have snapped her in half. Tearing the rest of the buttons on his shirt, he tore it from his body and finished wiping his face, tossing the remains of the shirt into a tiny wicker trashcan nearby. Now shirtless, he focused on the girls again, seeing that they'd stopped not even halfway across the room.

Eli asked if they were going somewhere, and while he was smirking, Carter knew he was angry as well. Just better at hiding it. "I think it's time to teach them a lesson." Carter hissed. Stalking across the room at regular speed, he gripped Madi's upper arms with his large hands and turned her to face Arianna. "Say bye to your friend, Madeleine. You've been naughty; it's time-out time." And he started backing them up, still slowly, towards his bedroom.

Once he'd crossed the threshold, he gave the two in the shared space one final sarcastic wave before slamming the door. Twisting the lock, he turned and shoved Madi onto the bed, though made no move to follow. Instead, he ran a hand through his hair and began pacing, obviously thinking about something. His chambers were just as large as the shared space, painted in dark blues and blacks that made the space seem almost smaller than it was. His sheets were soft under Madi, some sort of silk or satin that felt nice against his skin.

Madeleine

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

It wasn't long before Madeleine, too, was crying, soft whimpers escaping her mouth as her shoulders shook. Guilt and fear and heartache took hold of her expression as she and Arianna gazed at each other and Madi wished more than anything that she could go back all of an hour or so and stop them from going exploring. She'd encouraged them just as much as, if not more than, Ari had. Now she felt horrible. She'd gotten them into this mess. And it seemed there was no way out.

Just as the dark haired woman moved to sink down beside her friend on the plush carpet, she suddenly overheard Carter's words. A bolt of terror raced down her spine and she froze, body rigid as she watched him near them. Good god, what was he going to do? She let out a cry when he gripped her arms a moment later, dark eyes filled with fear as he taunted her. "N-No! No, please don't do anything to her, please," she sobbed, struggling in his hold as her eyes flew to Ari's figure, still hunched on the ground. "It's all m-my fault! She didn't do anything w-wrong!"

Madeleine's words and struggles did nothing to free her, however, and the next thing she knew, she was being shoved onto a bed, the sound of the door slamming shut echoing in her mind. Whimpering pathetically, she scrambled to the furthest edge of the bed from Carter, curling up into a tight ball as she wondered just what he might do to her. He was positively fuming, she could see that much, and her annoyed front from earlier had all but disappeared as a result. Now she was simply terrified for her life. And Ari's. God, she wasn't sure what she'd do to herself if anything happened to the girl out there.

Elliot

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

With a brief glance at his brother, Elliot could see the vampire was absolutely furious. He understood why, of course, but that didn't mean he wasn't getting a kick out of seeing Carter fuming so much. As the dark haired man practically ripped his shirt off, Eli couldn't help but chuckle under his breath. Regardless of his amusement, however, he wasn't exactly the happiest vampire on Earth either. Arianna had kicked him after all and though it hadn't hurt as much as she probably wished it had, he was still pissed off.

Yet he made no move to deal with the blonde woman just yet. Instead, he merely watched as Carter let his anger get the best of him. His smirk never faded, though he shifted to cross his arms over his chest as the girls were separated, Madi being dragged off into Carter's room amidst her unwilling cries. Shaking his head, he waited until the door had slammed before turning back to Ari and crossing the room towards her.

"Quite the drama queens you two are, huh? I never thought it would be so entertaining to keep two humans, but I've already been proved wrong," Eli hummed as he approached her, chuckling along with his words. When he reached the blonde, he sunk down so he was crouching in front of her, a brow raised. "So tell me, dear, what actually is your name? I don't believe I've caught it yet, though I sure would love to..." Trailing off, he flashed her a bright smile before reaching out to twirl her hair around his finger. "It must be something beautiful, if your looks are any indication."

Couldn't this just all be a bad dream? Through tear-filled eyes, she only looked away from the door when she heard Madi begin to panic. Carter had his hands on her shoulders, practically dragging her backwards towards the bedroom. Shocked and frozen, she couldn't even reach out or call out to Madi. When Carter's bedroom door slammed shut and the familiar sound of a lock clicking shut cut through the room, a sound akin to a strangled sob left Ari's body. Still, she remained where she was, unable to move or even form a proper thought.

As Eli approached her, Arianna couldn't help but stare at his beautiful form through blurry eyes, her body going rigid as he leaned down in front of her. Drama queens, he called them, nearly causing her to snort. Pulling away from his hand, she reached up to gather the hair that had long since fallen out of her bun, pulling it over one shoulder, as though that would keep it safe from his touch.

"A-Arianna." She whispered, her eyes flitting towards Carter's door. What was he doing to her friend in there? If Madi screamed, Ari didn't know what she'd do. But with Eli right there in front of her, she couldn't look at the door for long. Drawing in a shaky breath, she released her hair, placing her hands flat on the floor in front of her. "W-what's yours?"

As Carter turned in one of his rotations, he noticed that Madi had scurried to the side of the bed furthest away from him. Wondering if he really thought that she was safe there, he paused, eyes studying her for a moment. Then, with a sigh, he reached up to run a hand through his hair. Since he'd removed his mask and shirt, he only had on his dress pants. Blood stained them, so without warning, he unzipped them and slid them down his muscular legs. Crossing the room to his dresser, he pulled out a pair of light gray sweatpants.

Tossing them in Madi's direction, he dug around again until he found another pair, these completely black. Pulling them on over his boxers, he half turned before seeming to remember something. A few seconds later, a large t-shirt lay on the bed in front of Madi. "These will work, at least until tomorrow when I can locate Abriella and ask her to borrow some clothing." His voice had taken on a much softer tone, though there was no doubt his anger could return within seconds.

Nodding towards the bathroom, he glanced back at her. "I'll even let you change in there. Now that door does lead out into the main room. Open it, and I'll make sure that Elliot drinks from your friend in the most painful way possible, while you watch." He paused to let his words sink in. "Go ahead."

Madeleine

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

Madeleine kept her eyes peeled to Carter as he moved around the room, afraid that if she looked away, he'd jump on the opportunity to hurt her. She knew he was angry and it was clear that even the tiniest of things might trigger him. When the vampire slid down his dress pants a moment later, Madi couldn't help but swallow thickly. He really was fit... Between his leg muscles and the prominent six pack of abs, there was no doubt that even if he were human, he'd be able to out-power her.

And then before she knew what he was doing, there were suddenly a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt being flung at her. For a second, the girl simply froze, gaze eyeing the clothing as if it might burn her if she so much as touched it. Carter spoke moments later, bringing her out of her thoughts as she lifted her head to listen. His threat had her inhaling sharply, though she nodded her head in understanding.

Seconds later, Madi scrambled from the bed, taking the pants and shirt with her as she practically flung herself into the bathroom. She locked the door behind her, then ensured the other was locked as well, just in case Elliot decided to try anything. The girl breathed a soft sigh of relief now that she was alone, but she didn't make a move to get cleaned up yet. Her thoughts were drifting back to Arianna, wondering what in the world the poor girl was going through now that she and the other vampire were alone out there. God, she hoped he wasn't hurting her. She wasn't sure what she'd do if she suddenly heard screams or something. With Carter's threat in the back of her mind, she knew her options were limited, which caused her heart to clench with pain and guilt and fear.

"Oh, sweetheart, there's no need to cry. Your little friend will be just fine, so long as you cooperate, of course," Elliot cooed to the girl sitting before him, an expression of mock empathy on his face as she sobbed. He really didn't have any intentions of hurting her, though he wouldn't hesitate should she or Madeleine try anything. After all, he wasn't exactly known for his patience.

The blonde shifted her hair away from him as he played with it, causing Eli to grunt a little in annoyance. But he dropped his hand back to his lap all the same, eyes studying her as she confessed her name. "Hm... Arianna, huh? Very pretty indeed," he mused, lips curved upwards in a small smile as he regarded her. She truly was beautiful, maybe even more beautiful than any other woman he'd ever seen. The vampire swallowed and cleared his throat a little after that thought crossed his mind, then flashed the girl a charming grin when she asked for his name.

"Why, normally I don't tell people my name, but I think I can make an exception for you, love. My name is Elliot Roberts." Chuckling, the blonde vampire did a little introductory bow after straightening, then regarded the girl once more with a thoughtful look on his face. "You know, my sweet Arianna, I think you would look even more beautiful if we got rid of this blood. C'mon," he murmured, bending once more to sweep her into his arms. He'd have to think about how to fix that ankle of hers, too, but that could be dealt with later. With the ease and grace of a vampire, he carried her into his bathroom on the opposite side of the room from Carter's. Once there, he set her down so she could sit on the countertop, then held up a hand.

"Now you sit still while I go grab some clothes for you, alright? Try anything and I'll make sure you regret it," Elliot warned her before disappearing into his bedroom to gather some clothes she could borrow for the time being.

A small part of her didn't expect him to give her a name, so when he not only gave her a first name and a last name, surprise flitted across her face. She wanted to say something, anything to get him to stop smiling at her like that, but before she could, he commented on the blood. For what felt like the first time, she looked down at herself, a gasp catching in her throat as she saw the dried red substance splattered all over her dress and her bare skin. Slowly, she reached out to touch a patch of blood on her upper tight, revealed by the shifting of the dress as she'd sank to her feet.

Crusted and hard, it flaked off when she touched it. A wave of nausea overtook her, but luckily nothing came up. Elliot picked her up and carried her to the bathroom, setting her on the counter. Nodding at his warning, she sat there while he disappeared. After a moment, she grew brave enough to turn on the counter and inspect the part of her that she could see. Wincing as her ankle twinged, she realized that most of the blood had landed on her dress, though there was a good amount on her skin as well.

With shaky hands, she reached behind her to unzip the dress. Her chest heaving with every breath she took, she left the back of the dress open, bringing her hands back around to her front. Reaching up, she took the hair tie out of her hair, only to redo the messy bun on top of her head, grateful there wasn't blood in her hair. Her makeup had run with the tears, leaving her cheeks mascara stained and dirty. Scrubbing at her face with her hands, she huffed in indignation as the makeup wouldn't come off.

With some amusement, Carter watched her take off towards the bathroom, shutting the door behind her. He heard it lock, but didn't mind. If need be he could rip that door off its hinges in minutes. Having the upper hand was something he was quite used to, even if keeping a human as a pet was new to him. Her absence gave him time to think, and he perched on the bed in just his sweats, staring at the ceiling while he half listened to her move around in the bathroom. He'd heard Elliot get the other girls name, and say something about getting her cleaned up, so he assumed they were in Eli's bathroom.

What would they do with the girls? There were many options, of course. Chain them up, make them slaves, feed from them, change them. A baby vampire was a big, big task however, and it wasn't something he wanted to undertake at the moment. That left everything else, though, and a slow smile spread across his features. He was sure that he and Eli would find a way to make this quite fun. Plus, the girls had to meet the rest of the family.

"You have five minutes, or I'm coming in there after you." He called to his prize, not even turning his head in her direction. He meant it, too, and he knew that she would know that.

Madeleine

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

It took a minute, but Madeleine was finally able to draw herself out of her thoughts. Hearing Carter's little warning about only having five minutes helped, too, and she was soon quickly shimmying out of her soiled dress. Seeing the blood all over it, not to mention herself and her heels, caused her to shudder with disgust, her stomach rolling again. She hadn't realized just how much had stained her, but seeing it now and knowing it was the blood of a dead woman had fresh tears springing to her eyes.

Trying to keep the nausea at bay, Madi pulled off her heels as well, then set to work on washing up. She longed for a proper shower, but knew she didn't have time, so settled for the sink and a washcloth and soap. After four minutes, she had finally gotten herself clean again, though couldn't say for sure whether or not she had any blood in her hair. The girl didn't think so, but her hair was so dark she couldn't exactly tell. Swallowing nervously, she ignored that little thought and focused instead on slipping into the clothes Carter had given her.

They were massive, to say the least. Thankfully the sweats had a drawstring handy, so she managed to tighten them around her waist. But the shirt fell a fair bit past her hips, almost to her knees. Oh well, it was better than a bloody dress, that was for sure. Her hair, which had previously been in long curls down her back, was now up in a messy ponytail and her makeup had been scrubbed off as best she could. Satisfied that she was at least a bit more cleaned up, she quietly unlocked the bathroom door and stepped out into the bedroom once more, hesitation flooding her features as she wondered what Carter might do with her next.

Elliot

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

Elliot was rather surprised when he got no real response from Arianna, aside from a little nod. He'd been expecting her to refuse or struggle or something, but instead she simply sat there like he wanted her to. Shrugging, he left her to her own devices and went about finding her clothes. First, though, he slipped into a pair of black track pants, not bothering with a shirt just yet. It took him another minute or two after that, but he eventually returned with a pair of black sweatpants and a cozy navy blue long-sleeve t-shirt.

"Here, you can wear these once you're cleaned up. Do you need a hand with anything? Or can I trust you to clean yourself up alone?" Eli questioned, setting the clothes on the countertop beside her before regarding the girl with a raised brow. As he studied her, he couldn't help but notice the look of slight nausea on her face. Huh, so she wasn't a fan of blood, was she? Well, that would surely make punishing her (or at least threatening to) much more effective. The vampire hid a little smirk at the thought, though shoved it away soon after.

"And that ankle of yours... We need to fix that up. Only way I can heal it is for you to drink our blood, though, Arianna. And I don't want to force you into anything, but I really don't want to have to deal with you being injured all the time. It's quite the nuisance," Elliot told her, muscular arms crossed over his bare chest. He couldn't help but wonder what the girl was thinking, though he sure hoped it might be something along the lines of accepting his offer. How much of a pain would it be if she refused and decided to put up with her injured ankle after all? Because dear god, he really didn't want to carry her everywhere.

Arianna glanced up as he reentered the bathroom, eyeing the clothes in his hands. He set them on the counter, and she stared at them until he asked if she could clean herself up. Lifting her gaze to meet her reflection, her lips parted as she once again took in the mess that she'd become. The words to tell him to get out were on the tip of her tongue, but her mouth wouldn't form them. Instead, she just met the gaze of his reflection in the mirror, and shrugged. Let him take that as he would. With her ankle the way it was, cleaning herself up would be difficult, but she could manage she thought.

Speaking of her ankle... Going pale as he brought the subject up, she dropped her eyes and toyed with the sleeve of the shirt he'd brought her. "I don't want to." She whispered, purposefully not looking at him or her injured foot. It would be fine with ice, right? How long did twisted ankles take to heal? If it was only twisted... She really didn't want to think about what she would do if it were actually broken or fractured. Swallowing heavily, she started to move off the counter, balancing on her good ankle as she held the dress by the top to keep it from falling down.

"I'll be fine." She told his chest, not realizing she was staring until a few seconds later. Flushing, she turned away from him, giving him a view of her back and just a touch lower. "Please."

Carter counted the seconds in his mind. In almost exactly five minutes, the door to the bathroom opened and she stepped back into the room, lingering by the door. She watched him from that position, and he turned his head to look back at her, very comfortable in his now lounging position on the bed. "You look comfortable." He commented offhandedly, pushing himself up onto his elbows to get a better look. "Feel better?" Doubting that she'd be any more welcoming to him now than before, even in different clothes, he pushed himself up the rest of the way.

"For right now, it's going to be just you and me. Let's talk. Get to know each other." While one corner of his lips turned upwards, he remained overall impassive as he waited for her to come closer. "Tell me something about you, Madeleine. Anything at all." Nodding towards the bed, he turned until he sat cross legged on the end, giving her plenty of room on the california king size mattress to sit and not be touching him. "Cooperate, and you get to see your friend again. Arianna, is it? Have you two been friends long?"

Madeleine

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

Madeleine hesitantly let her gaze flicker towards Carter as he noticed her, fear evident on her face. She didn't trust him one bit, even though he seemed somewhat pleasant now. She ignored his remark, but offered up the tiniest nod when he questioned how she felt after getting cleaned up and changed. Of course, she did feel much more comfortable, but she wasn't about to voice that to him.

What the vampire said next, however, had the girl stiffening, her brows narrowed as she regarded him. "H-How do you know her name?" She whispered, having absolutely no idea he'd found out Arianna's name. But that little fact wasn't near as frightening as the thought of never seeing her friend again, so Madi reluctantly picked her way to the bed. She'd left her dress and dirty heels in the bathroom, so had nothing with her as she hesitantly curled up on top of the sheets, remaining as far from Carter as possible.

"We met at the party tonight," the dark haired girl finally spoke, her voice barely audible as she picked at a loose thread on the comforter. Although she would cooperate and talk with him (at the very least to see Arianna again), she wasn't about to give him any more information than she had to.

Elliot

━━━━━━❦━━━━━━

With a heavy sigh, Elliot met Arianna's gaze in the mirror only to see her shrug in response to his question. Well then. If she was going to leave it up to him, he'd let her clean herself up. Besides, keeping a human as a pet had already brought on more responsibilities than he'd anticipated. He wasn't about to add to that list if he could help it.

That didn't mean he wasn't annoyed when he saw the girl's reaction as he mentioned her ankle, though. She was a persistent one, he'd give her that. But it sure was frustrating. "If it doesn't heal by tomorrow morning, you're drinking our blood. We can't have you hobbling around everywhere," he muttered, jaw clenched in annoyance. He figured if her ankle hadn't healed by then, it was most likely more than just a simple twist. He could already tell, though, that Arianna wouldn't be an easy one to convince. Eli was already having enough trouble as it was.

With another resigned sigh, the vampire gave her one last look. "You have five minutes to clean up and put those clothes on. If you're not done by then, you won't be seeing your little friend again tonight," Elliot warned the girl, eyeing her once more before finally disappearing from the bathroom and closing the door behind him. Then he hopped up on his bed and lay down on his back, eyes studying the ceiling as he patiently waited for his little human to wrap up in the washroom.

Arianna blanched, going almost white under her destroyed makeup as he told her that if her ankle wasn't better by the next day, she'd be drinking their blood. There was no way. Biting back her retort, she merely lowered her head, staring at her bloodied arms. It had definitely dried since earlier; she hoped it would come off easy. She'd never... fighting the sudden nausea she felt rising in her stomach, she looked away, at Elliot's reflection. While she knew that her ankle situation wasn't good for either of them-- not that she cared about making things easy for him-- she couldn't drink blood. Not in this lifetime, or the next.

Five minutes. With a heavy sigh, she waited until the door clicked shut before moving. With the soap and the rag he'd supplied, she scrubbed at her skin until it was pink and raw. If she missed anywhere, it was only because she couldn't see it. Carefully, she stepped off of the counter, balancing her weight on her good foot as she slipped the dress off. Kicking it to the side, not caring if she ever saw it again, she managed to pull on the clothes he'd provided. Afterwards, however, she felt as though all of her energy had been zapped.

Yet still, she opened the door to his bedroom and hopped inside, keeping one hand on the wall for support. "Finished." She told him bitterly, wavering slightly on her feet but not falling.
