Sabre
Sabre snarled at Luka and Rosemary as they entered their New York home. He was truly annoyed and angry with them both. More with Luka then Rosemary, but Rosemary should have control over her Childe! He backhanded Luka viciously, the male vampire's head turning and five shallow scratches appearing as Sabre had let out his claws. He systematically beat Luka up until they reached the entrance of the basement before throwing the vampire down the stairs. He turned and glared at Rosemary. "Get. Down. There." She squeaked and hurried down the stairs into the dark basement. Sabre reached over and flicked on the lights. He turned and offered his arm to Drusilla. "They're been ever so naughty, lovely. They need to be punished."
Dru
Dru grinned evilly. She took her childer, and chained them to the wall. Then she pulled off their rings. The went and got a bottle of Holy Water, a cross, and a knife in which the blade had been blessed and craved with a holy cross. She stripped Luka of his clothes, and started with the holy water.
"WHo is your master?" she asked him.
"Rosie," he responded. Then she drizzled the Holy water down his chest.
"Who is your master?" she asked again.
"You are, Mam."
"That's right." Then she took a paintbrush, dipped it in the holy water, and painted symbols on his chest and thighs.
"No, will you ever disobey me again?" She asked, as she drew little pattersn on the soles of his feet with the knife.
"No, Mam, no. I promise!"
"That is good." she said. Then she hung the cross necklace around his neck, letting the cross burn itself into his breast.
"Now, my Rosie, will you ever let your childe behave so badly again?" She asked.
"No Mummy, I promise, no!" she said, as Dru painted two lines across her cheeks with the Holy Water.
"Will you obey your Papa and I at all costs?"
"Yes Mummy, I will," she said, and she hung her head.
"Good," Drusilla replied. Then she took Rosie down from the chains.
"Now clean him up, with your tongue," Dru commandeed, pointing to Luka.
Sabre
Sabre stepped forward before Rosemary could do it and gripped Luka's jaw in his hand harshly. "You *embarrassed* me today." He let Luka's jaw drop again and turned to the shining array of knives and things he and Drusilla owned. Luka watched him warily as Rosemary started to clean him up with her tongue, whimpering as the holy water burnt her tongue. Sabre picked out two small devices and reached up to Luka's hands. HE fastened the thumbscrews on and Luka howled as the cat slowly crushed his thumbs.
"I'M SORRY!"
"And so ye should be. Pshaw, don't faint on me yet." Sabre slapped Luka's face. "I'm barely even getting started." The vampire moaned, then screamed as Sabre picked up a knife and drove it into his stomach, twisting as it went in. Rosemary looked up at Sabre, afraid of this remote stranger who wore his body. Sabre looked down at her. "Rosemary."
"I'm sorry!" She cried out, flinging herself at his feet. Luke managed to growl softly and Sabre without looking reached out and gave the knife another twist. Luka stopped growling.
"Ye need to learn how to discipline your children, Rosemary," Sabre chided her as he closed her hand around a whip handle. "Now, I want you to whip him until I see bone. And you're getting one stroke for every one it takes you to do that."
Dru
When Rosemary was done, Dru took a sharp knife and slowly skinned Luka's feet, and then poured Holy Water over them.
"Never disobey your elders, childe," she commanded. "Ever."
Sabre
Sabre fingered the already bloody whip and eyed Rosemary. "Hand against the wall and spread your feet." She hastened to do as he asked and Sabre brought the whip whistling down on her back. "Took you fifteen. So fifteen is what you shall get..." He gave her fifteen hard strokes with the whip. Rosemary shivered but stood there and took it. Sabre put the whip back on the wall and went back over to Luka. He turned the vampire's face to Dru. "See her?"
"Ye-es..."
"You *belong* to her. Not Rosemary. Rosie's yer Mate, but Dru...she *owns* you."
"No one owns me!" Sabre tilted his head slightly.
"Oh, no, boyo?" Sabre grinned unpleasantly, then went over to the wall. He took down a strip of black leather, that Luka could see as Sabre came closer was a collar. The vampire growled. Sabre reached forward and quickly laced the collar around Luka's neck, drawing the strap tighter then he would on someone who had to breathe. There were words on the front of the collar. 'Dru's Pet'. "What do you think, Drusilla my lovely?"
Dru
Dru smiled. "I should put him on a leash and take him for a walk. Now, will you be a good puppy?" she asked Luka. He was truly terrified of his grandsire.
"Yes, yes ma'am," he promised.
"Mmmmmmm, good, now let's go," she said, clipping the leash to the collar and giving it a tug. She led him upstairs and outside.
Sabre
Sabre smiled. Rosemary was crying. He turned back to her. "I hope I've made an impression on you today."
"Yes, Papa! I'm so sorry!" She ran into his arms, and Sabre cuddled her for a moment, then pushed her away.
"GO and get yourself cleaned up, lovely," Sabre said gently. She smiled, and then went upstairs.
Dru
"Sabby?" Dru called from outside. "Please do join me!" She waited for him to come outside, and then she led Luka, naked and on his leash, out into Central Park.
Sabre
Sabre raced after her. The policemen of the city did not deserve to get eaten cos they were doing thier jobs. "Wait up, lovely!" He stopped her and then eyed Luka. "We need to make your Pet pretty." Sabre tilted his head and frowned slightly. "Harem slave boy? Yes, I think so." He withdrew a filmy mass of dark crimson material from his jacket pocket and a black g-string. "Put them on," Sabre ordered Luka quietly. The male vampire did so silently, eyes thanking Sabre for the dignity of some clothing. And then Sabre clamped a pair ofnipple rings through Luka's nipple. Luka gritted his teeth at the sting, then his flesh healed itself.
"Ow."
"Don't whine." Sabre admired the glittering silver hoops, then threaded a silver chain through them. The nipplerings each had a small red stone on them. "What do you think, lovely? Does he need one in his eyebrow too?"
