This idea has been rattling around in my head for awhile now and I finally decided to let it run free…so here is the combination of my two passions in life…Destiel and Vampires. This is an AU so if your looking for angels, demons and hunters you won't find them here. Here there be Vampires and humans…maybe some werewolves too.

Dark Heart.

Chapter One.

Not all vampire's treat their human's as well as Lord Castiel does so when Dean and Sam found themselves being sold to his house they sighed in relief.

"At least we didn't get sold to Lucifer's house" said Sam.

"Yeah, I've heard some scary shit about that Lord" agreed Dean as they were loaded into the wagon.

"You know he had too…right?" asked Sam.

His older brother snorts "Yeah…I know. The rest of our family would of starved if Pa hadn't sold us. I'm sorry you're here Sammy but I'd really hate doing this alone" replied Dean.

"I know, Dean. It's ok…I couldn't let you do this alone anyway" replied Sam.

Dean nods and turns to watch the country side roll by as they are taken to the castle of their new master, the Vampire Lord Castiel.

Sam had heard that this Lord treated his human's very well indeed. Human's in the House of Castiel had it good, their own rooms, nice food, clean clothes, no work…well not for the harem at least.

In this world human's fall into two categories, workers or food. If your chosen as food you become part of the vampire's harem, if your chosen to work you become staff or servants. Sam knows he'll be put to work…he's tall, strong and nowhere near as pretty as Dean is. He knows Dean will be chosen for the harem…is glad his brother will have it so good, it may take away some of the hurt of being sold.

His train of thought is broken by the sight of the castle looming before them, he'd know it was big but had no idea just how imposing it would be.

"Whoa" exclaimed Dean as he looked up.

"Yeah…massive isn't it" said Sam.

"Lord Castiel is the richest vampire round here" said a young boy who'd been sold along with them and several others.

The brothers nod, still enthralled by the size of their new home.

The wagon stops and the humans are unloaded and led through a door into the servants quarters.

"Thank you Bobby, I'll take them from here" says a rather stern looking woman to the man who'd driven them.

"Yes Ms Ellen" replied the man before heading back outside.

The woman looks them over then says "I am Ms Ellen, I run this house for our Lord so it's my job to get you all cleaned up and ready for your masters inspection. He will look you all over and decide if your staff or harem, from there you will be in the care of the grounds man or the harem keeper. Any questions?" stated the woman.

One of the younger girls started to sob.

"Now, now…none of that little one" said Ms Ellen as she put her hand on the girls shoulder.

"I don't want to die" she sobbed.

Ms Ellen frowned "Lord Castiel is not like that…he does not waste his human's nor is he cruel in any way. I hear the same stories about the other Lords that you do and I will only tell you once…our Lord is nothing like the rest of them" she said.

They all nod and the girls sobs abate.

Ms Ellen leads them to a large bathroom, directs them to strip and bathe. Some of younger humans are shy and need to be soothed but the rest simply strip and get clean.

Dean, Sam and seven other human's stand naked, waiting for the house tailor to clothe them. He assess each one then goes to the racks of clothing on the other side of the room, picks out some items and returns to the human. He hands them the clothes and tells them to dress. The man takes his time looking Dean over, he licks his lips then turns quickly and goes to the racks.

'Such a pretty one' he thinks as he hunts for the crimson leather pants he knows are there somewhere. His Lord is going to love that one so he'd better dress him up well.

'Can't cover that beautiful body to much' he thinks as he decides against any form of shirt and opts for matching crimson gauntlets instead.

When Dean see's what the tailor has picked for him he snorts "No shirt?" he asks.

"No, no…our Lord will want to see such beauty uncovered" smiled the man.

Dean rolls his eyes but goes to get dressed anyway.

The tailor dresses Sam in black leather pants and a crimson shirt saying "Don't bother to button the shirt".

Sam nods and follows Dean to get dressed.

"Hey…why'd you get a shirt?" asks Dean.

"Guess I'm not as pretty as you" teased Sam.

"Fuck off…I'm not pretty" snapped Dean.

"Yeah…bet you get harem and I get staff" replied Sam.

"Harem? No fucking way…Vampire Lord or not I don't do guys" fumed Dean.

"Relax…not all Lords fuck their food" grinned Sam.

Dean groans making his brother chuckle.

Finally all nine humans are dressed and presentable, they are led to the castle's throne room and lined up before the thrones dais.

"When Lord Castiel enters keep your eyes on the ground…only look up when he speaks to you. You answer him with yes, my Lord or no, my lord always" instructed Ms Ellen.

The humans nod, most of them staring at the floor already. A hush falls and the human's hear foot steps approach, none of them dare look up…even Dean's eyes remain fixed on the floor.

Lord Castiel walks into his throne room without looking at the new human's. He takes the three steps up the dais to sit on his black marble throne. He has been listless of late…bored and tired of living. He has been a vampire for seven hundred years, long lonely years. Not even the company of his brothers helps anymore. He sighs and waves a hand at his housekeeper, signalling he is ready to inspect the new human's.

Ms Ellen is aware of her Lord's mood of late and has planned to present the pretty one last hoping such a gorgeous boy may finally tempt her Lord. She knows that her Lord feeds from his harem but does not touch any of them in any other way and she is convinced that what he needs is love. She has been staff in his house since she was thirteen and has come to know much about her Lord over the years. He has never know love, that she is sure of.

One by one she leads the new humans to the foot of the dais. The vampire Lord looks the human over briefly then says a word…staff or harem.

Sam is led to the throne, he stands at his full height, shoulders back, eyes down.

Lord Castiel inspects him half heartedly and says "Staff".

Left standing on his own Dean fidgets.

"Just one left for your inspection, my Lord" says Ms Ellen as she leads Dean to the foot of the throne. Clad in crimson leather pants and matching gauntlets, Dean stands there defiantly yet his eyes are down cast.

'At least it's just one' thinks the vampire Lord as he looks up.

A gasp escapes his red lips as his blue eyes find the gorgeous boy before him.

Ms Ellen allows herself a small smile.

'So beautiful' thought Castiel as he stared at the human, a look of desire settling on his face. He swallows hard, glances at his housekeeper and says "Harem…have him prepared and sent to me at once" a deep growl in his tone.

Dean looks up then, their eyes meet and the objection that had been on his tongue dies a quiet death as he see's his new master for the first time. Vivid blue eyes meet stunning green and lock, a shiver runs through the human as a smile forms on those full red lips.

"As you wish, my Lord" replies Ms Ellen "May I take him now?".

"One moment, Ellen. What is your name boy?" said Lord Castiel.

"Dean…my Lord" the human replies softly.

The smile gets bigger and he nods.

"Take him" declares the vampire.

Then Ms Ellen is leading him away and he can't help but look over his shoulder at the vampire who now owned him.

Dean had been rocked by the sight of him…he was stunned by his own reaction to the vampire. He'd been around them all his short life but none of them looked like that…so ethereal. Those eyes…you could drown in them and Dean found himself wondering if that raven hair was as soft as it looked. He found himself wondering what it would be like to run his fingers through it.

'What the fuck?' thought Dean as he followed Ms Ellen.

'Damn thing must have that sway shit…I don't do guys' thought Dean.
