Chapter 01
The Ghoul
Pulling up in front of the castle I am nervous. Master said that tonight my limits wound be pushed, but, told me little more. This is a Halloween party and all attending will fill the role of their costume. I am dressed as a pleasure slave and am meant to fill that role. The house where the party is being held, is set in the middle of a huge estate miles from the nearest neighbor.
It looms above us, looking more like an old world castle then a modern home. The cobblestone drive is flanked by sweeping manicured lawns. Massive stone steps lead up to gigantic mahogany doors. The door knockers themselves are as big as my head. Gargoyle statues loom from the rooftop keeping silent guard over the castle. We even had to pass through a gate that looked like a drawbridge to get through the stone wall that had to be 20 feet tall and surrounded the entire estate. The whole thing reminded me of one of those movies where humans were the main course for dinner. Shivering, I pull my cloak tighter against a chill that has nothing to do with the weather.
When the car stops the driver comes around and opens my door, his usually somber demeanor seems excited tonight. His 7 foot frame slightly more erect, his dark brown eyes glittering a rich warm amber in the soft light of the newly risen moon. His muscular frame almost twitching with excitement. "You will go the rest of the way alone tonight." his voice is nearly a growl. From somewhere deep down I am filled with such fear that I nearly run up the steps.
When I reach the door it opens immediately, to reveal a small thin man with a hump on his back. His skin is sickly pale and his eyes seem flat and dead. He is dressed in formal servants attire that is a bit tattered around the cuffs and collar. His thinning white hair is swept back in what must have once been an impressive display. Waving me forward, he sneers saying, ''Enter whore do not keep them waiting.''
His eyes warming with lust rake over me from head to foot in a way that makes me long to soak in a hot bath. As I pass him his thick tongue passes over his cracked lips in a lewd display, so repulsive that he reminds me of a ghoul. Inside it is so cold that I catch my breath, as he ushers me into a dark corridor off the main hall and through a small door. I am momentarily blinded by bright lights as he leads me onto a stage. When my eyes adjust I realize that I am at the back of a grand ball room filled with people dressed in costumes that look all too real.
