It was a fine job. At least that's what you told yourself. In the end, you had agreed to this, even if what it entailed was equivalent to hell on earth

You had agreed to be a human familiar for a vampire, said vampire being Swiss. All this entailed was doing whatever he asked of you, your servitude being promised the reward of your own vampirism

The tasks he had you perform weren't too tedious; Basic cleaning, shading him from the sun if he went out during the day, helping with the hunt as best as you could, and occasionally be a food source, but only if the need was dire

Maybe it would be better if Swiss would actually turn you, if weeks didn't turn into months, didn't turn into a year. Additionally, if he didn't keep waving away your questions, avoiding the topic altogether. You learned to grumble and go with it, telling yourself it was only a matter of time

However, on the exact one year marking, Swiss would call you down, a spark of hope lighting in your chest as you stood before him, watching as he stepped closer to you

"I'm assuming you know why I called you?"

You nodded, taking the words to mean that your suspicions were thankfully correct

"Good, now get to it then, I'm having company tonight, I need the dining room spotless."

The spark of hope went out immediately at his words, your face expressionless as you nodded and went to work
